The Neighborhood High School Girl, Miss Isezaki, Is the Great Saintess Returned from Another World~ And I, Suddenly Awakened as Her Exclusive Mana Supply Uncle, Travel Between Earth and Another World with Time-Space Magic~ - 145. Decision

145. 145. 145. 145. Decision

“What? The soldiers on the other side retreated? I don’t understand,” Regina exclaimed incredulously, but the soldier just furrowed his brows in response.

“Um, we don’t really understand either… So, we decided to report to Lady Levia as soon as possible…” the soldier replied nervously.

“Oh, right, sorry about that. Well, we’ll discuss our next move and decide from here, so you can head back to town now. Sorry for detaining you when you’re in a hurry,” Regina apologized.

“No, it’s an honor to meet everyone from ‘Stinger’! Good luck with your mission!” The soldier saluted sharply to Regina as she waved goodbye.

It seems the soldier knew about ‘Stinger’. Perhaps he was nervous because he was meeting a celebrity.

As the soldier mounted his horse apologetically and galloped away, Regina placed her hand on her hip and sighed lightly.

“Now, then… we were planning to build a fortress in preparation for the invasion of the Digram territory, but they’ve abandoned their base instead. Honestly, I don’t understand what’s going on, but what should we do next?” Regina pondered.

“Hmm… If this is some kind of strategy, it would be reckless to proceed without taking any action,” Gandor and Notos voiced their concerns. It seems the two of them are cautious types.

“No, if the Digram territory is planning something, shouldn’t we hurry up and advance? The longer we wait, the more disadvantaged we’ll be,” Seriphos chimed in. “I agree with this idiot’s opinion. Besides, their plan might not be what we think, and something unexpected might have happened. In that case, isn’t it the perfect opportunity to build a fortress? We shouldn’t overlook it.”

It seems Seriphos and Regina are of the opinion that we should head to the Magic Stone Mine immediately. Well, let’s see how this turns out.

As ‘Stinger’ discussed their options, their gazes suddenly turned to me. Representing them, Regina spoke up.

“Well, it seems opinions are split evenly, two to two.”

“That seems to be the case. What should we do?”

I simply follow the judgment of the professionals on the scene. I had thought that as an amateur, I shouldn’t interfere, but Regina smirked and raised the corner of her mouth.

“Heheh, just us, we decide with a coin toss in times like this… But hey, isn’t Matsunaga-san the key to this operation? So, how about we let Matsunaga-san decide?”

Regina peered at me. The other three seemed to agree, nodding silently before staring at me intently. Even Isezaki-san and Colin’s eyes were focused on me.

It seems like it might end up being my decision, but if that’s the case, I have an idea.

I look straight at Regina and say firmly, “Excuse me. I need to go to the bathroom right now. May I step out for a moment?”

“Huh? What’s going on all of a sudden?”

“Well, actually, I’ve been holding it in since earlier… I might wet myself if I don’t go now. Ah, ah, ah…”

“Ugh, really!? Then go quickly! Come on!”

Regina’s face turns pale with surprise, but I pay no attention and grab Isezaki-san’s hand.

“I’ll be right back! Isezaki-san, come with me!”

“Wha- What, Master!?”

“Just come with me! Hurry!”

“Yes, sir!”

Ignoring the bewildered faces of ‘Stinger’ and Colin, I run with Isezaki-san to a large rock in the distance. Once we arrive, I quickly hide behind the rock.

They won’t be able to see us from here no matter what. I release Isezaki-san’s hand. She blushes deeply and raises her voice.

“Um, sir… What exactly do you intend to do by bringing me out here!?”

“Well, I thought you could keep an eye on things for me.”

To my response, Isezaki-san sways as if in shock.

“Oh, I see…! Um, sir… Honestly, I haven’t reached that level of proficiency yet… But! But if that’s what you want to do, I will accept everything about you—”

“What? …No, no, that’s not it! Could you watch out so that none of ‘Stinger’ members come? I’m going to use Dimensional Teleportation to directly meet with Lady Levia and inquire about the situation!”

“Huh!? …Ah, y-yes, of course! I understand! I completely understand! Yes, yes!”

Isezaki-san nodded frantically while in a fluster.

I was on the verge of being branded as a pervert, but it seems that suddenly dragging her out here caused her to be in a state of extreme confusion. And finally, my intention seemed to have gotten through to her.

I definitely didn’t want the action plan to be decided based on my opinion alone. After all, I hadn’t been a regular employee for almost ten years for nothing. I wanted to pass on the responsibility as much as possible.

“Well then, I’ll try to come back as soon as possible. I’m counting on you to keep watch.”

“Yes, yes. Have a safe trip, sir…”

Leaving Isezaki-san, still blushing, in charge, I used Dimensional Teleportation to aim for Lady Levia’s castle.
