Finding Your Way Home In Another World With The Gender Change Skill/Shadow & The Jester [Remake]
Chapter 51: Battle Preparation In The Capital and Journey to [Mortem Forest]

The East Gate of the Groxia Royal Capital. There are a lot of people gathered there. They were all made up of Royal Knights, Adventurers and Heroes.

A few minutes later, someone finally began to clap his hands a few times to attract the attention of everyone who was there.

That person was a woman who looked to be about 20 years old. She has long, golden-blonde knee-length hair styled in a Ponytail style and tied with a yellow and blue ribbon at her tip. This woman also has cyan eyes.

Yes, this woman's name is Iris Wollfrod. He was the Commander of the Groxia Working Knights and was one of the people who had the title of [King/Queen] that existed in this continent, namely [The Queen of Thunder].

Seeing that everyone had started to shut up, Iris slightly smiled, before she started to open her mouth and said. “Meet me is Iris Wollfrod. The Royal Knight Commander as well as the Family Head of the Wollfrod” Family Iris said firmly while slightly bowing gracefully.

“I am here to lead you all in battle this time. Our enemy this time is a horde of 10k Monsters who are walking towards kemari” Iris continued while starting to raise the volume of his voice.

Iris paused for a moment to see the reaction from everyone. However, everyone just remained silent and waited for the next word from him. Except for a few people who were in the Hero group who started whispering to each other.

Ignoring the Hero group. Iris then started opening her mouth again and said. “Before that, I want you all to remember this one thing first. That is, if everyone under my command is nothing special right at all. You're all the same in my eyes. It doesn't matter if you're a soldier, adventurer or something... Heroes.” Said Iris in a stern tone while starting to sound mocking at the end.

“So, for those of you who can't accept my words before her. Please leave this place right now. Because I don't need spoiled children under my army. If you still haven't come out until the sand at this hour runs out. Means you guys are willing to listen to orders from me” Continue Iris while starting to take an hourglass and put it on the table in front of her.

Then, Iris started walking away to sit on the chair that was near her while waiting for anyone who would leave this place.

The sand that was on the clock slowly began to thin out, though,. Seeing that, iris slightly smiled, before she started to rise from her chair and walked towards a silvery-white haired girl who had sky-blue colored eyes.

Arriving in front of the girl. Without further ado Iris immediately opened her mouth and said. “Do you not intend to leave this place?” Iris asked with a tone of voice that sounded filled with shock.

Even so, to this silvery-white haired girl, it even sounded like a humiliation and made her become very upset. However, he did not point at her and started smiling as he said.

“Not” replied the girl briefly while trying to contain her anger.

Hearing the answer from this girl, Iris became a little surprised, before a cruel smile began to adorn her face. However, he quickly hid it with a warm smile while saying.

“If you can, can you tell me the reason?” Iris asked in a tone that sounded plain while putting on her stern face.

I heard a question from Iris. The girl was starting to get more upset. Then he started clenching his fists tightly to harbor his anger while saying. “That's because I can't let you get away from my vision PROSTITUTE” Said this silvery white haired girl in a very small sounding tone of voice.

“What? Can you repeat it?” Iris asked puzzledly, as she did not hear the answer given by the girl who was in front of her.

Hearing that, this girl became even more irritated and without hesitation she immediately replied. “Tadi I said. If I'm still here, because I think it's the best option. In addition, we have a reliable Commander like You” said the girl in a cheerful tone while smiling innocently towards Iris.

Hearing the answer from the girl in front of him, somehow it made Iris upset. Decided to end this joke. Iris started to turn around and walked away saying.

“Then, happy working hard.... Aizawa-dono” Said Iris in a playful tone while waving her hand.

Hearing that, the silvery-white haired girl who was none other than this Aizawa Saki, she started to become even more annoyed and started clenching her hands in frustration. Because he could do nothing, as a result of his weaker self than Iris.

At the same time.

In the Northern part of the forest [Groen Forest]. There were some people running north from the forest.

Then, one of the four of them began to open his mouth and said. “By the way Niji-san. May I ask you something?” Charlene asked as she began to stare towards Niji.

Hearing the sudden question given to her, Niji became a little surprised. But she did not show her expression and just smiled while answering. “Bole” answered Niji briefly while starting to turn his gaze towards Charlene.

Hearing the approval from Niji, without hesitation Charlene started to reopen her mouth again and said. “Is this just my feeling, or is there really no monster on this road we take?” Charlene asked in a doubtful tone as she began to pay close attention to her surroundings.

“Because to my knowledge, this [Groen Forest] forest is known for its many top level monsters that inhabit its” Charlene continued.

Niji immediately let out a slight laugh, when he heard the question from Charlene. Then, he started to calm down again and said.

“No, it's not that there are no monsters on this road that we're on. Actually if you have a presence detection type skill, you will definitely realize if there are so many monsters around us”, replied Niji while starting to smile warmly towards Charlene.

Heard the answer from Niji. Charlen started tilting her head to the side in confusion as she said. “Then, why have we never met a monster at all? Isn't that really weird?”  Ask Charlene.

Hearing the question from Charlene, the warm smile Niji had became even deeper, as if he was now talking to a child. Then, he began to open his mouth and said.

“The real reason we never met them is, because Darling had already killed them first before the monsters realized our existence” Clearly Niji while pointing towards Souji who was now singing happily with Miyuki.

Seeing the behavior of Souji and Miyuki, Charlene could only stare at him in horror. Because, they both walked in the most terrible forest in the world very casually, as if these two people were walking in the forest near their home.

Even Souji and Miyuki started singing some songs that Charlene never heard with excitement, and it made her become even more amazed towards the two of them.

Even so, Charlene was still confused by what Niji meant. Because he did not see Souji swing his sword at all and only held it while holding Miyuki on his shoulder.

Niji who saw, if Charlene was confused about what she said before her. He immediately smiled wryly before starting to reopen his mouth again and said.

“Better don't think too much. Even I just don't know how Darling did that” Niji said as he began to turn his gaze back toward Souji.

“In addition, when I asked Darling about it. She just kept quiet and immediately left me without answering her at all” Niji continued.

Hearing the words from Niji, Charlene decided to ignore them as well. Because, if Niji who incidentally his ‘Istri’ from Souji alone is not given an answer. Moreover, he who was a nobody to Souji, he would definitely not get his answer either.

Then, the four of them began to continue running in a calming silence.

.

.

.

A few minutes later. Souji suddenly started to stop running and immediately gestured for the other two to stop as well. Then, she directly lowered Miyuki off her shoulders

The two of them instantly stopped and stared at Souji in confusion. However, a moment later, Niji suddenly squinted his eyes towards the front while saying.

“Darling, let me take care of this creature in front of us” Niji said in a serious tone as he began to walk forward towards the front.

But unfortunately, Souji immediately stopped Niji while saying. “No need. I'm gonna kill this thing. You just need to keep Miyuki here until I return” Souji said casually as he started stretching.

Hearing the words from Souji, Niji was immediately startled, before he started to say in an angry tone mixed with worry. "Wait a minute Darling!! Do you really intend to fight against this creature that is in front of us?! He's stronger than you know!!” Niji said as he started walking towards Souji.

Souji who heard that, he could only smile wryly, before he said. “Just calm down, I won't die. If the creature in front of me is really stronger than me. In that case, I only need to use the first 3 forms of my sword techniques alone, then, and the creature will die in seconds” Souji said in an irritated tone as he began to walk forward leaving Niji still frozen behind.
