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~ - 149. Dream Story

149. 149. 149. 149. Dream Story

We were escorted by soldiers guarding the entrance of this front-line base and led into the largest building within the facility.

We were guided into a plain and spacious room made of stone. Several soldiers stood in a line along the wall, and a soldier wearing armor with the Carius territory emblem sat at the center behind a desk.

With a dignified beard, this middle-aged man was probably the most important person in the facility. For now, let’s call him Captain Hige in my mind.

As soon as we entered, Captain Hige lifted his gaze from the documents on the desk and stared at us sharply.

“I’ve heard the story. You’ve come to execute a dream tale of setting up a fortress overnight, haven’t you? Did you instigate Lady Levia?”

Instigating Lady Levia would be a scandalous accusation. On the contrary, it was her who proposed the strategy.

By the way, standing where Captain Hige’s gaze landed was Seriphos. Well, he’s quite the handsome fellow, so it’s understandable.

“No, we’re just here as escorts. The one in charge of this operation is… Mr. Matsunaga over here.”

With a wry smile, Seriphos pushed me, who was standing in the corner, towards the center. Captain Hige, upon seeing me, furrowed his brows with suspicion.

“…According to the documents from Lady Levia, it was said that you possess an incredible ‘Storage Space’ and other extraordinary powers… But you? Hah.”

Captain Hige chuckled derisively, as if mocking. Seeing this, Isezaki-san stepped forward energetically.

“What? My husband does possess the power as stated, but is there a problem?”

“Hmph, speaking such nonsense… Although I consented to this operation for Lady Levia’s peace of mind, can such a ridiculous plan be believed? You lot are probably just a bunch of fraudsters. Time is precious now, so get out of here quickly.”

Captain Hige waved his hand impatiently and returned his gaze to the documents. It seemed he didn’t believe Lady Levia’s plan from the start.

“Guhhh…”

Isezaki-san gritted her teeth with frustration while glaring at Captain Hige. She probably didn’t retort further because she had anticipated this situation to some extent.

Upon further consideration, Lady Levia had only recently assumed the position of magistrate.Although she was known as the ‘Prodigal Princess’ within her territory,it wouldn’t be strange for her directives to be treated with skepticism.

If we were told, “The enemy is attacking!” and then, “Just send someone with an extraordinary ‘Storage Space’ to build a fortress, that’ll do!” we might not even give a lukewarm response or even a, “Let’s handle this ourselves…!” It felt inevitable.

As I was trying to calm down the flushed Isezaki-san, Regina casually addressed Captain Hige.

“Well, well, it’s understandable that Captain Hige would think that way, right? But I know it’s hard to believe, but Matsunaga-san is the real deal. Seriously, for real. Anyway, explaining all that would be a hassle… How about showing them for real, Matsunaga-san?”

Certainly, that seemed like the most straightforward approach. Of course, I had no objections.

“That’s true. Shall we go outside then?”

“Hey, don’t proceed with the conversation on your own. The time we’ll spare for you—-“

“Alright, alright! No problem! If you guys aren’t convinced, we’ll just leave. That way, we can use our time more efficiently, right? So come on, stand up!”

“G-Guh, ugh…”

Being pulled up by Regina, Captain Hige reluctantly stood up. He didn’t refuse outright, so he probably wasn’t a bad person.

With the other soldiers who were in the room accompanying us, we quickly left the building we had just entered.

—

We walked for a while after leaving the building and moved to a corner of the facility. Nearby, there was a steep cliff, so anything we did here wouldn’t attract much attention.

Captain Hige grumbled lazily, “What are you looking around for? If you can do it, hurry up. I’m busy—”

Zuuuuuuuuuum!

When I took out fortress parts from my Storage Space, the ground trembled, and we could even hear voices in the distance like, “Is it an enemy attack!?” I’m sorry.

This time, I brought out thick and wide stone walls. While Regina and the surrounding soldiers marveled at the vast stone walls, Captain Hige’s jaw almost dropped to the ground. There was a murmur among the soldiers, “I-Is this for real…?” “Is this a fortress wall?” “Wasn’t this just Lady Levia’s jest?” “This will change the norms of the battlefield…”

Seeing this scene, Regina burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.

“Hahaha! I bet we had the same look on our faces when we first saw this! Ah, this is hilarious! Hahaha!”

“W-Well, it’s rude to laugh… Haha.”

Seriphos seemed to be holding back his laughter as well.

As for Isezaki-san—

“See, see, did you see that!? This is my husband’s power! How amazing is that? Oh, and by the way… did you say something about fraudsters? How do you feel now? Come on, tell me! Tell me how you feel! Go ahead!”

With Captain Hige’s mouth still open, Isezaki-san circled around him asking, “Hey hey, how do you feel now?” It looked like she was having a great time.

Although I understand her feelings, I can’t let this go on for too long.

I gently grabbed Isezaki-san’s shoulder to calm her down, then addressed Captain Hige.

“I believe Lady Levia’s seriousness is now evident to you. Can we please have a detailed explanation of the current situation?”

Upon hearing my words, Captain Hige snapped out of his daze. He straightened his back, turned towards me, and—

“U-Uh, I must apologize deeply for my rudeness! I will provide a detailed explanation of the current situation, so please come to the headquarters!”

He saluted sharply. It seems he trusted me after all. As expected, showing the real thing during a presentation is the best approach.

With a sigh of relief, Isezaki-san nodded repeatedly with satisfaction beside me.
