I GOT A CHEAT ABILITY IN A DIFFERENT WORLD, AND BECOME EXTRAORDINARY EVEN IN THE REAL WORLD
#V3.Prologues
With a new family called Night, my life on Earth started to be more fulfilling, but in another world, I should have gone to the royal palace to fulfill my promise to Lexia-san and the others, instead, but we were interrupted by a mysterious assailant.
And that mysterious assailant was the one who trained in this Great Demon Nest together with me, albeit for a short time─Luna.
Why did Luna attack Lexia-san, I don't know the reason behind it. But now that he is attacking Lexia-san, the princess, he will be treated as a criminal.
Although it was to save Lexia-san, I attacked and defeated Luna, and I told Lexia-san that I wanted to at least take care of her at home until her wound healed without immediately handing her over, he followed me straight to my house.
Once I ignored the fact that Owen-san was chasing us, I had no choice but to let Lexia-san take care of Luna at home as well.
...------------------------------------------------...
“──So, Yuuya-sama. I vaguely understand the relationship between Yuuya-sama and this girl. Then what miracle moved us to this house in an instant?”
“Eh?”
While I was sitting near the bed where Luna had slept for a while to see how she was doing, Lexia-san, who had a rather serious expression on her face, asked me that.
"What can I say .. it's a new magic I made for transportation."
“You created it?”
“Y-ya.”
Huh huh? Did I say anything strange?
“Yu-Yuuya-sama? Do you know how amazing that is? Speaking of teleportation magic, it was a type of magic that could only be described in legends!”
"W-is that?"
"Yes! Therefore, your miracle is a historic achievement. Everything will be fundamentally reversed! ”
Despite her serious expression, Lexia-san approached me as if she could not control her excitement.
“With Yuuya-sama's magic, you can limit the damage of bandits and monsters while moving through the city and. More than anything, you can rush to the actual scene in case of emergency, it was a magic that existed only. in fairy tales. Until Yuuya-sama used it before.”.
"U-to go that far ..."
For me, I made it because I needed it at the time of field study, and besides, I just thought it was a useful magic that made it easy to explore the Great Demon Nest.
Yet…
"But .. You can't show this to the public."
“K-why?”
“I told you before, right? Everything will be reversed. And that includes.. war.”.
“Ugh!”
If I think about it carefully, Lexia-san is right. Even on Earth, if there was a power like mine, it could be abused in various ways. And it happens in this world too. Instead, why don't I think about that possibility.I'm afraid of my own optimism.
When I realized the danger from teleportation magic after so long, my face turned blue, but Lexia-san's eyes shone even though my face looked like that.
“Well, all I have to do is shut up, and it's definitely more convenient than anything! As I expected from Yuuya-sama!”
“Eh, is it light? Are you sure you want to be that light? ”
"It's okay. Ah, but, Yuuya-sama. You shouldn't tell people about the magic unless you're sure about it, okay? ”
“T-of course!”
"All right then. Well, I don't think anyone will be able to use it even if you teach them. ”
“Eh? Why?"
When I asked that straightforwardly, instead, Lexia-san looked at me strangely.
"Why are you asking? That was because teleportation magic was a legendary level magic, a magic packed with all sorts of complicated and esoteric magic theories. At least, even the best magician today would not be able to do that.”
“….”
As expected of sage-san. I actually made and used magic subconsciously, but the magic circuit sage-san is very different. In fact, if it wasn't for the sage-san magic circuit, I wouldn't be able to use one magic as I imagined. Well, besides the magic theory, my transfer magic includes unique ideas on Earth, such as taking pictures and recording locations, so even if I have to teach it to people, it's a magician, people in this other world might not understand it that way.
"So? How long will you keep pretending to sleep?”
“Ge.”
“Eh?”
While we were chatting, Lexia-san suddenly called out to Luna, who was sleeping on the bed. As I looked at the bed in surprise, Luna slowly got up with an awkward expression on her face.
“...How long have you been aware of my existence?”
"From the beginning. You were awake when we got here, weren't you? ”
“Eh? Eeh!?”
Is he awake? Since we got to this house? As I could not hide my surprise at the unexpected fact, Luna's cheeks twitched.
“K-you know that much, but why don't you show it?”
“Of course, it's because I want to have a private conversation with Yuuya-sama. But since Yuuya-sama is so kind, I pretended not to notice and watch over you in this room.”
“Aduh..”.
Uh, he didn't show that Luna woke up for that reason? You were attacked, you know! And I. I didn't even notice…
"Woof."
“Fufu. With Night, I don't think I can be alone with Yuuya-sama.”
"Feed!"
I was surprised, but as Night barked sweetly at me, Lexia-san stroked Night gently.
"But is it time for you to explain why you attacked me?"
“...Do you think I'll be honest with you about that?”
“Ara, why do you think you have the option not to talk to me about it?”
“….”
Wh-what is this mood? Is this a psychological war played out like a movie or a story? I don't get it…
As I was shocked by the conversation between Lexia-san and Luna, Luna finally let out a small sigh.
“...Hmph. Even if I tell you, the fact that I attacked you will not change. Just kill me.”
"really. It doesn't change the fact that you attacked me. But I want to know about you.”
"What's the point of you knowing?"
"I don't know? But you can't kill me. You lost at that time. And since you lost, you will obey me, the winner!”
Luna's eyes widened as she looked overwhelmed by Lexia-san, who told her that with a chest full of royal dignity.
Then…
“...I envy you.”
“Eh?”
Smiling but somewhat sad, Luna shifted her gaze.
“What, it's not a lot of stories. It was a boring story to be found everywhere... Do you still want to hear it?”.
"Yes." Yeah."
“I... I also want to know Luna.”
It's not just Lexia-san. I myself know nothing about Luna, even though we have been training together for a short time. That's why I want to know about Luna.
“...Haah, you two beat me. Like I said, it's not much of a story. I was an orphan, struggling to get through the day. Scavenging trash, drinking murky water, and stealing. Fortunately, I was able to live with it, so I didn't have to sell myself. Well, no one's gonna buy me a dirty one back then. ”
“….”
“In addition to living that life, I also developed my own strength to protect myself. Then one day, I was picked up by someone. That guy was the master of the assassination business who seemed to sense something in my thief moves and the power I gained in my own way, and then he trained me. From then on, I worked with him as my master. He taught me a lot of knowledge and skills... And many of those skills are mainly related to murder. Well, that's how the master works.”
"... Dark guild, huh?"
"Dark guild?"
I tilted my head at the unfamiliar words, and then Luna told me about it.
“. Well, I guess that's the connection that got me attacked. ” Lexia-san said.
The aristocratic society is scary! You can't spend your time in peace! No, I thought it was a gloomy world even when I was studying history and such, but it was more than that when I heard such a story from a true princess.
“...As the princess said, I am a member of a dark guild like my master, but one day. I killed the person who raised me. Despite all the conflicts I had to face, my master died with a look of relief on his face as he was killed by me. It was because he believed that I would be able to live in this dark world. From there, I decided to take over my master's job and live in a dark world. And as I worked in the dark guild in my own way, I ended up being called [Head Hunter] or something not long after.”
“Kuh, [Head Hunter] , you say? I've heard of you, aren't you a brilliant killer? Are you really that guy?”
I don't really understand what they're talking about, but it seems Luna is an amazing person in her field.
“...Hey, Night. Did you know that?"
"Woof?"
“It looks like you know something..”
Maybe he didn't really know that Luna was a great killer. Still, Night was more wary of Luna from the start than anything else. Anyway, she must have felt something. As expected of my night. She's hilarious.
“By the way, as the princess said. I was sent by a noble to kill him .. The result is this. ”
Luna mocked herself as it ended. But then he turned his gaze towards Lexia-san with a somewhat clear expression.
“Now I've told you everything. Do what you want."
"Do what I want, you say ..."
“Yuya. You know what I'm talking about, don't you? When I attacked the princess, and you prevented me from killing her, I had no choice but to die. In the dark guild, one mistake could lead to death. If you ignore me here, the dark guild will send assassins to silence me to keep my mouth shut. ”
"No way!"
. ..I know in my head. That when Luna attacked the princess, Lexia-san, it was already irreversible. But still, I can't ignore it easily.
When Luna saw my face, she smiled bitterly.
“Hey, hey, Yuuya. Are you worried about me like this? We only trained together for a short time. That'sthat's all. No more or less than that. So no need to worry about it──.”
“How not?”
"Huh?"
Luna laughed as if she had given up on everything, and I spontaneously burned with anger.
“Why do you say such tragic things? I've enjoyed my time training with Luna, and I already consider you a friend!”
I was too embarrassed to say it out loud, but Luna and I naturally became very close friends ever since we trained together. It was because, during our training, we entrusted our lives to each other and laughed at the little things we did with monsters.
Unlike Lexia-san and Owen-san, I felt like I had been friends for the first time in another world, like Ryo and the others on Earth…
"…Wool. Woof."
"…night?"
Night leaped onto the bed and gently licked Luna's cheeks as she quietly approached him. Night, although he was wary, in his heart, he wanted to get along with Luna as well.
“Hei, Lun. Do you really think that Night and I are just ordinary people training together with you?”
“….”
Luna did not answer my question.
“... Yuuya. Regardless of what you say, the future can no longer be changed. Therefore──.”
"Hey, can you stop putting me by the side of the road?"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Lexia-san says that while puffing her cheeks. In contrast to the dark atmosphere of Luna and I, I was subconsciously surprised by the rather cute atmosphere of Lexia-san.
“You, can you not tease Yuuya-sama without my permission? I will tease Yuuya-sama!”
"Eh, is that how the whole conversation is?"
I thought it was a pretty serious conversation! Luna and I had felt that way, but it turned out to be different from Lexia-san.
“And that's not fair! Although Yuuya-sama also called me her friend! Yet you still call me with honor! ”
“I-it. As I thought, fighting royalty is..”.
"It's okay! I'll make sure you get rid of the honor one day! ”
“What a wonderful positive thing.”
Lexia-san's world was progressing smoothly everywhere, and I was trapped in her atmosphere. Then, with a self-mocking laugh, Luna asked Lexia-san.
“Did you see my interaction with Yuuya like that? Unfortunately, despite looking like that, I was pretty sure I would die from the moment I failed to attack you. You can calm down and chase after Yuuya.”
"You know, why do you have to assume that you're going to die?"
"Huh?"
Not only Luna, but I was also surprised by Lexia-san's words.
“What do you mean by that. I attacked you, a noble. Isn't that a sure death sentence?”
"Yes. But no one but Yuuya-sama and I know that you attacked me. Owen didn't see your real face.”
“...A-Do you think you can ignore it? As I said before, the murderers will go ... "
"No. Now that you are here, you will serve me.”
“……….Heh?”
A stupid voice came out from my stupid face because I didn't know how many times today.
"That's why I hired you as my sidekick."
“A-do you know what you're talking about? I'm a murderer. That is me, a criminal who has killed many people!”
“Yes God, you are so detailed! I know you're good at what you do, so why don't you work for me? Then you can protect us from the dark guild assassins. And Owen, who is also my bodyguard, is also very strong!”
“….”
Luna just froze, thinking of Lexia-san's words. As expected of royalty. The way he thinks and the size of his capacity is different from a small citizen like me. I was still horrified because I didn't know what was going to happen, but Night seemed relieved, and now he started sleeping on my feet. Uh, is this okay? Does she feel like Luna is safe?
"Princess. Dark guilds are stronger than you think. Besides, I'm too dirty to stand next to a light like you. With my hands, I have killed and defiled many people. Even if I kill someone by country.”.
"What are you talking about? You have a beautiful hand.”
"Well!"
Lexia-san grabbed Luna's hand without hesitation. And after looking at that hand for a while, his brows furrowed.
"…It was so beautiful. What do you do to make it so smooth?”
“I-it's because Yuuya took a bath... Wait, no! That's not what I want to say──.”
“Silent, silent, close uuuuup! Shut up and obey me!”
Lexia-san said as she stood on the bed and pouted.
“In addition, you will probably get Yuuya-sama! You are my guard now! It's decided!”
Perhaps because Lexia-san's momentum was too great, Luna spontaneously nodded her head.
...----------------------------------------------------------------...
“Kuh! Lexia-sama, Lexia-samaaaa!”
By the time Lexia managed to convince Luna, Owen was desperately trying to get into the depths of the Great Demon Nest in order to get to Lexia soon.
“That's not good, Commander! Monster is too strong..!”
"Are we really back through this place?"
“No, it's not because of us. It was because of that young man!”
"W-we can't do it!"
However, the monsters in the Great Devil's Nest were numerous, and they were pushed around the entrance while desperately fighting against an elite group of goblins.
“Ah, dammit! It was because His Majesty spoiled him that he became a stubborn tomboy! When we return to the royal capital, I will definitely tell His Majesty.!”.
When the hard-working Owen made that decision, he had no choice but to retreat from the Great Demon Nest for a while
