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~ - 66. Q&A
66. Q&A
Inside the dim carriage, sitting facing each other, I and Isezaki-san explained the situation to Lady Levia.
Once the explanation was finished, Lady Levia took a deep breath and slowly began to speak, as if confirming.
“So, my sister and Mr. Matsunaga are from a different world, and Mr. Matsunaga’s abilities brought you to this world?”
“Yes.”
“In the world where Mr. Matsunaga resides, there is no magic, but instead, science has advanced, and the products Mr. Matsunaga deals with are products of that science—is that correct?”
“That’s correct. Do you understand?”
“Well… I don’t doubt that you’re telling the truth. However, perhaps due to my position as a noble, it’s difficult for me to simply accept words alone… that’s my honest feeling…”
Lady Levia sighs apologetically, shoulders drooping. But we’ve provided evidence.
“Isn’t this evidence sufficient? This LED light is indeed a product of science.”
I point to the LED light on the table, and Lady Levia picks it up, clicking the light on and off.
“Now then, Mr. Matsunaga, how does this LED light work in terms of science?”
“Um… To explain that, I think my knowledge alone might not be enough. I’m sorry.”
Well, it can’t be helped, I’m more of a liberal arts person.
“In that case, it still seems like a foreign magical tool…”
“But you can use it without infusing it with magic, right?”
“Magical tools are also evolving year by year. It’s more convincing to think that magical tools that don’t require magic once infused have been developed in foreign lands. Of course, I don’t understand the mechanism of magical tools, but if Mr. Matsunaga can’t explain the mechanism of the LED light, then it’s the same thing, isn’t it?”
Hmm, I see… “If you can’t understand it, then science and magic are the same.” I can somewhat understand her perspective.
If that’s the underlying thought behind why Japanese products were accepted without much suspicion in this world, then Lady Levia’s reluctance to accept our explanation makes sense. However… setting that aside, it’s getting quite complicated.
Fortunately, Holly just informed us that she’ll remain on alert until morning.
At Lady Levia’s command, no one will come here for a while.
We’ve tried to explain as much as possible, but further explanation seems difficult. At this point, only action remains.
“Isezaki-san…”
“Yes, sir.”
It seems Isezaki-san has the same idea. We nod at each other.
“Lady Levia, may I have your hand?”
“Huh? Right here, right now? …Well, go ahead.”
For some reason, Lady Levia seems perplexed, but she straightens her chin, extends her arm with a graceful gesture, offering the back of her hand.
…Ah, I know this. It’s the thing where nobles kiss the back of the hand. But of course, I have no intention of doing that.
“No, Lady Levia. I’ll just shake your hand. Excuse me—”
I shake Lady Levia’s hand. Then, Isezaki-san also extends her hand in the same manner as Lady Levia.
“…You have my permission.”
“No, you don’t need to give permission. I’ll shake your hand.”
“Ugh…”
I also shake Isezaki-san’s hand, which she offers with a dissatisfied expression.
Isezaki-san’s hand, which I’ve shaken many times before, is as delicate, slender, and cool as always, while Lady Levia’s hand is softer and warmer in comparison.
Feeling the difference between the two, I convey to Lady Levia.
“We’ll guide you to our world using teleportation magic.”
“Huh?”
Lady Levia tilts her head in confusion at the sudden announcement. I continue speaking without hesitation.
“Alright—’Dimensional Teleportation.'”
The next moment, I returned to the familiar Isezaki Manor apartment with them in tow.
