Become A Human In Another World
ACT 3: Chapter 32 - A Princess
"Wait!" the soldier approached, seemingly remembering something. I also directly prepared some magic if I have to fight it.
He approached, and automatically the Princess next to me hid behind me. Perhaps out of fear or perhaps also wanting not to be found by that knight. Well, that's good because it adds to the acting.
"What's up, soldier sir?" I smiled awkwardly. The atmosphere is also a little tense here.
"You." he touched my shoulder.
"What's your name, and your race?" tanyakanya. Hufft. I can breathe a sigh of relief. But, this guy is a little weird.
I've used Dark Magic [Illusion] to remove my ears and grow black cat ears over my head. And better yet, I can move it at will!
"Name? My name? I'm Kazuto. And race, it looks like you already know, doesn't it?" I pointed at my hairy ears a little.
"Ahh, from your name, I can guess you are from that Mysterious State, right? Well, I wouldn't bother with personal matters, but at first I thought you were the usual cat tribe. But there's a little weirdness in your tone."
"The Beast Race Cat tribe usually always uses the suffix "Meow" in each of its sentences. That's what makes them unique." obviously the soldier stared up. Seems imaginary?
Humm, there's a Mysterious State like that, huh? Honestly, this name is a little Japanese. So the Mysterious Country is similar to Japan?
I originally wanted to use Liu Xiang or William's name earlier, but from these three names, I mentioned Kazuto. My fault. I should have mentioned my name Liu Xiang from the beginning.
"Should it be me, meow?" I formed a claw pose to try to make the pose as blanket as possible.
"Stop. It's disgusting" he said spontaneously. Is correct. It's repulsive. I won't do it again! And it looks like I've stained his mind about that Beast cat guy who uses the word "Meow" as his end.
Hey princess! I can hear you holding back your laughter! Don'tlaugh!
I immediately turned around, heading out the gate with the Elf princess next to me who was still holding back a laugh by closing her mouth. Yahh, stop.
Now, we're already out of town, so it's okay for us to stop the charade.
"Stop. We're safe now. At least, you can explain what happened." I changed my style.
He glanced at me for a moment, then immediately retreated far, about 2 meters away!
"wait. Why are you taking such a long distance?" I couldn't help but scream in response.
His face was also like the face of seeing a strange person.
"T-t-So you said you were gonna corner me, didn't you? I thought you were a pervert!" he shouted while slightly making a movement to hide his chest.
"Hey hey! Don't you understand too? I tried to fool him!" I'm trying to explain.
"No no no no! My sister does it often! He pretended to be good to get such a reward! I won't be trapped, because I'm experienced! Wei!!" he shouted, then stuck his tongue out at me.
No, wait. What kind of brother is that? Isn't he dangerous?!
Ahh, I remember Rumia's story that this Kin royal prince was a siscon. And surely in front of me this is a royal princess.
"Come on! I'm not gonna ask you to do anything weird. You remember, without my help earlier, maybe the soldiers there have caught you!" I tried to convince her while being a little pushy.
He seemed to recall, then a moment later his body was squeezed. It seems he is beginning to understand.
"Ahh. All right, I'll apologize" he said, bowing his head.
"Thank you for helping me, may I know your name? I want to repay your kindness." he said now very formally. Is this her attitude when she became a princess?
"Uhm. So, can you tell me why you're looking for soldiers all over the city, and what do you want to do?" ask, even though I already know the answer.
He was silent for a moment, seeming to mind.
"M-maybe I can't say it. Sorry." said he.
Hufft. It seems he doesn't want to admit it. But I'm still curious about the alchemy he brought, you know! Whether it is the beginning of technology in this world, or not.
"Emm, okay. I'll guess." I'm getting tired of this talk.
"You're the princess of the Kin kingdom and you're interested in Alchemy, but your family doesn't approve of it, and now you're on the run from your brother who's after you, to a place where you used to hide to study Alchemy, ain't he?" I said everything I thought.
He gasped, and jumped back, again.
"You-you? You could tell? How's it possible?" he turned around while holding his head. This princess seems a bit clumsy, but I know she's a good person. At least that's according to Rumia's story.
"Roman?!" I could hear him a little surprised. But it was actually too slow to even be called a whisper.
"Follow me. We're talking somewhere else!"
"alright. But, whoaaa?!!!" I didn't expect him to pull me so fast to follow.
No, you could say he didn't take me anywhere else, but dragged me by force. Well I'm fine with this too. When will I meet the princess again?
But, meeting him made me remember with Rumia and the manager. What are they doing, huh?
He took me far enough into the woods. There, there was a tree that was quite large, but it was dead and made a big hole at the bottom. Inside that dead big tree, there were many shrubs.
"With the friendliness of the Earth, they will get rid of the barrier!" the princess casts magic, which I don't know what it's for. But from the element, I know it's an earth element.
"I don't think he can use magic either, but he still uses slapstick." I nodded silently, annoyed by him casting spells.
"Magic does have to ring a spell, doesn't it? You're weird!" he said while pouting a little.
I chuckled, and looked down at the princess' feet. There it suddenly shone, after the princess sang a spell! Was that spell the key word?
The ground lifted up, forming a cave and a door and covering the tree.
The ground I was moving on, started to come down. Some light also shot out from the ground surrounding me. It looks like an elevator in my world!
"Wow!" I can't help but be amazed to see this blend of magic with sci-fi.
"What do you think? Amazing, right? These are all things I think about myself, you know?" he said facing me while shaking my waist.
It does. It is something like a new innovation in this world. Maybe this princess is talented to be an inventor? Or don't let him be a genius
"alright. Please sit wherever you can. I'm sorry I couldn't provide something better, but I'll get you some drinks" he said back to his formal tone.
I just nodded, looking around the place. There are some things that I don't know are useful, and there are some designs on paper.
In the designs he drew, he drew extraordinary objects, such as car designs and others.
There were also designs such as drawings of airplanes, but it was written out of the question.
This kid, he's a true genius.
"This?" I saw something familiar. Objects that can spin, and throw small magic balls without pause and without neatness. Handguns.
I took one of Zadkiel's from space magic, then compared it to what he drew.
"It's still a lot bigger and inefficient than the original, but the concept is correct, isn't it?" I smiled happily. This is one proof that technology is developing in this world, but the problem is why it is banned.
"Ahh, sorry! I haven't tidied up his desk!" it seemed that he was not too able to keep his attitude.
I took the opportunity to hide Zadkiel in my hand.
He had already finished throwing away the paper that was on the table. I'm sure he'll need it again. Is that okay?
"Uhum. Sorry about the incident just now. Let's just say you didn't see it. So, now I'm going to start the real conversation." he sat down, with the hands and movements he made as graceful as possible, but still it didn't fit.
"Huff. Before that, I'd appreciate it more if you used the usual language." I also sat down in front of him.
"A-Ah. Is my formal language so weird that you don't want to hear it? If so, I'm sorry!" he looked a little panicked, then lowered his head quickly.
Of course, since the table was between us, his head hit the table. Hard enough, to give a big bump on his head.
It looks like a comedy-drama in my opinion, but it's not engineering.
"Well, forget about that. Let's get to the point. What do you want to talk about, princess?" I really have to stop this comedy drama, otherwise it will last forever!
"Ahh, okay. First, let me introduce myself well." she stood up.
"My name is Yuna Kindesberg. The second son of the Folk king Kindesberg. As you can see, I am an Elf race, and please don't look at me too high. We are all the same" he said, holding hands together like praying.
Honestly speaking, when she behaved naturally like this it seemed that she was the real princess of the kingdom. I was a little amazed by that.
