Shinka no Mi (Shiranai Uchi ni Kachigumi Jinsei)
Chapter 120: LOUISE’S DETERMINATION


『I’m so sorry! 』


Safe mock battle …… No, after the training has finished, the demons bowed to me .


Looking at that, I don’t know why, but Luthia has a subtle smug floating on her face for some reason .


“No no, please raise your head! I don’t really care ……”


“…… It’s not fun . You were the life saver of Luthia-sama, but our blood rushed completely to our heads ……”


“Right…… After Luthia-sama fell, it seems that we were a little bit out of composure… . . ”


Receiving my words, the grey-haired handsome guy and the very beautiful woman have an apologetic look .


Well, I understand the feelings of the demons, but I don’t care either .


More than anything, they were able to safely help me there, so I think its fine for me, but…… I’m sorry if that’s the case .


Thinking about that, the grey-haired handsome guy puts on a serious expression .


“If it’s you, I entrust Luthia-sama to you . It’s rather safer than being with us . …… It’s frustrating . But, please take care of Luthia-sama!”


“………… Eh, it’s decided that Luthia will accompany me!?”


“That’s right, but?”


“That’s my intention!”


『Thank you very much! 』


“I’ve already heard that!”


Besides, all of them bowed their heads down, so I can’t refuse! After all, I’m a Japanese man who can’t say no!


But the actual problem is that if Luthia is still targeted in the future, is it safest that she stays with me?


I know I’m pushing myself, but I don’t know how well it will work .


“Because I was asked, I’ll do my best to protect her properly . ”


“Yes, I’m counting on you . ”


Luthia looked at me and nodded .


Now then…… is it time for me to really go back?


Saria and the others may be worried, and more than anything, I have to go to the dungeon where Barna-san asked me to .


I look around to tell Ranze-san, dad and the other that I’m returning, but before I knew it, Ranze-san and the others seemed to be back in the castle .


Then, once I was thinking of returning to the castle, Louise came before me .


“Shishou”


“Nn? Ah, Louise . It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, but since I’m going back soon, can I have you guide me to Ranze-san?”


“I understand . I’ll also go to school with my shishou . ” (TN: So Louise is also joining the harem, heh!)


”Thank you ―――― Yes?”


I reflexively inquired back .


“Uhhmm……Louise-san? What, now ……?”


“So, I will also go to the Barbador Magic Academy with my shishou . ”


“That’s not why!? What and how did you get to talk about that!?”


I asked her to guide me to Ranze-san, but why did it turn into that sort of story!?


Louise, who received my tsukkomi, made her expression darker than I’ve ever seen .


“…… In this battle, I couldn’t do anything . “


“Eh?”


“Originally, there is no individual who can stand alongside me other than 【Black Holy Knight】 except shishou, and I thought that being 【Transcendental】, I became one step stronger . That’s why, at first I wanted to be stronger than I was . ”


When I first met Louise, I heard such story from Claudia-san who is a subordinate of her .


She’s lonely because there’s no stronger individual than her .


So when she lost to me, Louise seemed a little happy that she had lost .


“But at the time, the country that I have to defend is attacked by a strong existence, I lost without doing anything …… I was mortified . Apparently, I was incredibly arrogant, and was left alone . Fortunately, I was saved thanks to the help of shishou’s honorable friends, if I keep being that way…… I couldn’t have protected what was important to me . ”


“…”


As I listened silently, Louise looked straight towards me .


“Shishou . I want to be strong . I can’t lose to anyone . So that I can protect what I want to protect . ”


Louise’s words, resonated deeply in my heart .


My power is definitely soaring . That is beyond control .


But, I don’t know how far it will soar .


There may be an existence that is stronger than me .


And if that sort of guy attacks Saria and the others ―――― I won’t be able to protect them .


In fact, I don’t even know the power that that eerie man used, and my body didn’t react to the mysterious powers of the demon guys .


It’s still an excessive power, but I probably must follow Louise and yet become stronger . (TN: So he really wants to be stronger huh?)


――――To protect Saria and the others .


“…… I get it . Luthia’s tagging along anyway, and it would be the same even if I add one more person . ……Luthia”


“Yes . ”


“Let’s grow stronger together”


“tsu! …… Yes!”


In my words, Louise opened her eyes for a moment, then turned her cheeks a little red and replied so .


―――― At this time, I wanted to grow stronger little by little, but it was just before I realized that my body was much more crazy .


By the way, even though it was a coincidence, my companions have increased by two people as well . Strange .


How do I explain this? Helen is definitely going to tsukkomi on this .


Well, I said I’ll take them, so I’m not complaining .


But it would be really bad if I don’t go back soon .


So I asked Louise to guide me to Ranze-san as originally intended .


Then my parents and Ranze-san, Zeanos-san and the others were having fun talking to each other .


“No, I’m very indebted to Seiichi-kun . ”


“No no, likewise . Our son seems to be helpful …… “


“Really, it was fine before we saw it, you know…… There is also Saria-san’s case, so I have to cook red rice!”


…… It’s hard to mix into this conversation, Oi .


Zeanos noticed me who was strangely hesitating because the content of their conversation was my story .


“Mu? Seiichi-dono . What are you doing in such a place?”


“Ara, Seiichi . Come over here . ”


“Ye, yeah…… Before I knew it, you also became friends with Ranze-san . “


Dad smiled when I asked him that .


“That’s right~ . This is the first time for Tou-san* to have known a King . I can brag about it . ” (TN: kinda like dad or father, but he was referring to himself here)


“Yes . This was the first time I had entered the castle, but it’s really gorgeous . There are a lot of maid-sans too…… I wonder how much money do I have to pay?”


“What about that? I’m curious about that too, I wonder if the maid here also does something like 『Moe~』*?” (TN: ‘Moe moe, kyun kyun‘ like that)


“Mou, Makoto-san . Isn’t that only on Japan? These women here are nice re~al maids . Ah, let’s take a picture later!”


“I like that!”


“……………… Somehow, they really are Seiichi’s parents . ”


“What do you mean?!”


Ranze, who was listening to my dad and the others conversation, stared at me with an incomprehensible look .


No, it’s only my parents who are so weird! Probably! I’m not sure!


I exhaled a sigh and told him that I would return back to achieve my original purpose .


“Excuse me, I’m returning soon . Saria and the others may be worried, and there‘s some stuff that Barna-san asked me to do……”


“I see…… Ah, don’t worry about your parents . I also heard from Zeanos-dono and the others . They’re talking about wanting to move to this country…… I welcome them of course . I am grateful to have such a reassuring presence in our country . The same goes for Abel-dono and the others who are helping the soldiers now . ”


“Thank you very much!”


If I look closely, I can’t see Abel-san and his companions . I think, Gassur-san and the others are with them, but they disappeared before I knew it . I guess they’re back in the guild .


I was able to feel relieved because it allowed me to move safely than before . (TN: Remember the Paradise of Roses(BL)?)


When I felt relieved, Luthia speaks to Ranze-san .


“King Ranze . I’m going with Seiichi . ”


“Wha?…… No, it was the flow of that story . I completely forgot, but if your vassals are convinced, then I can’t say anything . In fact, it might be safest for you to be in Seiichi’s side . ” (TN: Dude, you’re the one who set up the battlefield )


“Yes…… Our meeting was messed up . It happened this time because of the 【Demon God’s Cult】, but perhaps you may also get attacked by those who have looked us demons as enemies . Even so, will you continue to walk with us demons after this?”


Luthia’s gaze was very serious, and Ranze-san answered it directly .


“Obviously . I can’t do this if I’m so scared . ”


“…… Thank you . ”


Luthia smiled a little, looking relieved .


“Well, then Seiichi! See you again! Next time, take your time here!”


“Yes! Thank you very much!”


“Well then…… Zeros, Zorua, Reiya, Rialetta, Urs, Jade . See you later . ”


『Hah! Be careful! 』


Besides me who was greeting Ranze-san, dad and the others, Luthia was also greeting the demon guys .


Then Lucius-san goes in front of Luthia .


“You are……”


“I was able to meet you with great pains, but unfortunately we don’t seem to have time to talk slowly . Well, you’ve come back to life just like this, and I can see you anytime . Let’s have a conversation slowly at that time . ”


“……Yes”


By the way, Lucius-san is the first Demon King, so Luthia and Lucius-san have something to talk about .


But as Lucius-san said, they can see each other anytime they want to .


Regrettable, but Louise saluted to Ranze-san when I was about to return .


“Your Majesty . I’ll have time-off to train . ”


“Yes………………… Wha!?”


“Then, I――――”


“Wait wait wait wait! Eh, what!? What are you going to do!? That’s the first time I’ve heard it!?”


“Since I just said that”


“I’m sure I told you that I should be well-informed first ……! I’m your boss! You understand!?”


It seems that Louise didn’t say a word to Ranze-san at all . No, Ranze-san is totally right!


In the end, I persuaded Ranze-san in a form that I was also caught up with Louise .
