I GOT A CHEAT ABILITY IN A DIFFERENT WORLD, AND BECOME EXTRAORDINARY EVEN IN THE REAL WORLD
Part 2

After eating, there was some struggle about what to do with the bed and so on, but because I was mentally tired, I got through it, and I was able to sleep safely. And the next day, I learned that Luna's physical condition was fine now, after resting for a day, so we once again decided to go to where we left Owen-san and the others.

It would be faster if we move with teleportation magic, but since Luna wants to move her body as well as rehabilitate, we move on foot.

…Honestly, I brought Lexia-san and Luna, the assailants, without explaining anything to Owen-san. So it's complicated for me to deal with it, but I can only apologize honestly. I'm the one to blame. And there is no guarantee that Owen-san and the others are still in that place.

“Really, Yuuya and Night are really silly... To think that you can continue the battle with the advantage against the monsters of this Great Demon Nest.”.

"Woof?"

Luna said that with a somewhat distant look in her eyes, but... I still haven't gone that far into the depths of this Great Demon Nest, and to be honest, given the fact that I know about the existence of sage-san, I think I still need to practice. Well, the wise man warned me not to go too far in having too much power. Although, I want to be strong enough to protect Night and my friends at least.

"Oh, that's the entrance!"

When the forest entrance was finally seen, Lexia-san pointed happily and told us that.

Along the way, we encountered an elite group of goblins, but there were no monsters near the exit, and we were able to pass through the Great Demon Nest safely.

Later then…

"ah! Commander, Commander! Look, look there!”

"Huh? Lexia-sama!”

I heard a voice and turned my gaze towards her, and I saw Owen-san and the others, just like when I first met them. Apparently, they've been waiting here all day.

When Owen-san saw us, he rushed towards us. Lexia-san just smiled, looking at Owen-san.

“Ara, Owen. Good day."

“Don't just 'good day' I like nothing! Please don't act arbitrarily! We are your bodyguards!”

As expected, Lexia-san felt bad about this situation, and she lowered her head obediently.

"I'm sorry."

“U-um! Owen-san's chat. I'm sorry for taking Lexia-san with me.”.

When I think about it calmly, it's like some sort of kidnapping, isn't it? Is that okay? I wonder if I will still be charged with a crime?

As I looked at Owen-san's face anxiously, Owen-san was about to say something for a moment, but she let out a long sigh.

“ Huh ... there are many things I want to say, but given Lexia-sama's position and Yuuya-dono's position, it will be difficult to fight what Lexia-sama said.”

"No! It wasn't Lexia-san's fault; it was just that I was washed away at that moment ... "

Owen-san and I both apologized to each other, but we cut off the conversation once we knew it would not develop at this point.

“ Ehem ! Ah. So, Lexia-sama. I've been wondering since, who is that woman over there? And I also heard that the little wolf at your feet is Yuuya-dono's companion, but.”.

“Oh, come to think of it, I didn't introduce it properly. This little boy is my family, and his name is Night.”

"Woof!" After being introduced by me, Night deftly raised his claws and responded.

“. Night-dono, thank you for saving Lexia-sama back then.”

"Woof."

Night barked as if to say, "Don't mind that."

“Well, you're really smart, aren't you…? And what about that woman over there?”

“Ya, she is──.”

Just as I was about to talk about Luna, Lexia-san, for some reason, puffed her chest and replied on my behalf.

“He's Luna, the killer who attacked me! And now he's my new bodyguard!”

"What-what?"

“...Hey, Yuuya. Is this woman an idiot? ”

I could only return a smile to Luna, who said that while holding her head. Well, I didn't expect him to be that honest.Owen-san's expression froze at Lexia-san's words, though, but she immediately jumped back with Lexia-san in her arms and unsheathed her sword as she moved away from Luna. Taking that as a gesture, the other soldiers also unsheathed their swords and pointed their swords at Luna.

“Hei, Owen! Why do you keep pointing your sword at Luna? Put now!”

“What do you mean, Lexia-sama? This woman is the killer who attacked you, isn't she?”

“Yes, dia. Therefore, I hired him as my bodyguard! ”

"It's too unclear how we got to 'Therefore'!"

Lexia-san, you left too many explanations. Owen-san is really having a hard time with this, isn't she? I can't say anything because I was involved with one of them this time.

Luna herself, whose sword was directed towards him, raised her hand with a bitter smile, showing her incomparability.

“Lexia. Do something about them.”

“Gosh, this is too much trouble. Can't you go ahead and do it yourself?”

"What's? Are you an idiot?"

"What does it mean!"

When Lexia-san's mouth suggested an unexpected physical solution, Luna half-eyely clicked her tongue.

“Um, Owen-san! As for Luna, Lexia-san is right; she is now Lexia-san's bodyguard, so she is no longer dangerous!”

“Are you expecting me to believe in your words? If that's what the assassins are after, then Lexia-sama is in danger.”

“Aduh..”.

I really have nothing to say about this overly sane opinion. It's sad, but as a proper bodyguard, Owen-san's words are right. As I was thinking desperately about what I should say to make her believe me, Luna sighed.

“ Huh .. I can't blame you for not trusting me, but if I wanted to kill Lexia, I could have done it yesterday.

“...Lexia-sama?”

"What's? We stayed at Yuuya-sama's house together, so it's only natural that we slept together, right?”

“... Yuuya-dono?”

"I'm sorry."

All I can do is apologize. Really, I'm sorry. Owen-san wanted to say a lot of things, but as she looked at me, Lexia-san's face, and Luna, she sighed again and put her sword back on.

“ Huh .. I still can't fully trust you, but I'll stop brandishing my sword to you.”

“K-commander? Are you sure?"

“It's inevitable. In fact, if you look at her skills during the first attack, she could kill Lexia-sama while she sleeps with him. Either because of Yuuya-dono's strength he didn't do that, or, as Lexia-sama said. Maybe because she is now Lexia-sama's bodyguard. Whatever it is, we can't judge her now.”.

“Yes, you are very specific with every detail. Luna is now my bodyguard, so you must be obedient and happy! He's still a brilliant killer!”

“That's too much.”

Owen-san, who looks completely drained of her wheezing energy, looks at Lexia-sama with a dumbfounded face and then directly looks at Luna with a serious expression.

“Then, assuming I believe Lexia-sama's words that you have become her bodyguard. Do you want to tell me about the person who asked you to kill Lexia-sama?

“Hm, I don't mind.”

Luna spoke honestly about the details of the request as if she was no longer fully alert to the dark guild.

“However, most people who make requests to dark guilds hide their identities. But this time, it must be a request from a royal noble. Apparently, it was also to curry favor with the first prince. ”

"What?"

“No way... why..”.

I'm really an outsider, and I don't know the situation in their country, so it's hard to say, but Lexia-san, who was so innocent until now, made a shocked face. The first prince means... uh, older brother or younger brother Lexia-san? No, but. royalty is a bit complicated, so it's not like an ordinary brother…

“However, for the first prince's help, it's a matter of speculation. In the underground world, stories about the first prince often appeared, but the story had not been fully confirmed. ”

“News about what?”

"Hmm? It was, of course, about the first prince who hated the first princess.that is, he hated Lexia.”.

“Eh..”

Lexia-san's expression became tense as Luna told her about the fact that her brother might hate her. Night approached Lexia, seemingly worried, and slipped closer to her feet. Looking at Night, Lexia-san hugged her.

“Ah..N-night.”

"Guve woof."

"…Thank you."

Although she won't be able to understand what Night said, Lexia-san smiled gently, knowing that Night was worried about her.

“Alright, let's continue the story. Anyway, I received a request for Lexia's murder, and in that request, it also included information about Yuuya. ”

"Huh? I-i?”

I thought it had absolutely nothing to do with me, so I suddenly became nervous when I grew up.

"Yes. However, Yuuya's whereabouts were not fully known; it was just a faint information that said someone in the Great Demon Nest.”

“Although so, why would anyone want to know my information..”.

For some reason, Luna answered my words with a dumbfounded look.

"Well…"

"Did you realize? If a monster kills an attacker, then it would be strange if Lexia was not attacked as well. Who else has the skill to hide in the Great Demon Nest... Yes, there is nothing else but Yuuya and Night. It was abnormal when Lexia had just returned to normal like that.”

"Is that a twisting way to say I'm not normal?"

“...If Lexia is the only survivor, and a skilled hitman is dead, the only possible possibility is someone saving her.”

He ignored me.

“They will kill the princess. The assassins must have planned it carefully, so they must have thought that the assassins separated Lexia and Owen and the other guards. That would force them to consider the existence of a third party. They could think of it as a monster attack, but then, as I said in the beginning, it was unlikely that only Lexia would be lucky enough to survive. After all, all those skilled assassins are dead. ”

“U-umu..”.

Owen-san snorted at Luna's explanation. I want to lift my own head. What Luna said about the killer she talked about was probably from the first time I met Lexia-san. I didn't understand it at the time, but there was definitely blood and flesh splattered around the goblin general. In other words, it is…

Thinking about it, I suddenly felt a rush of blood.

"…Woof?"

“Yuuya-sama?”

“Eh? A-ah, sorry. It's okay."

Night and Lexia noticed that I was acting strangely and called out to me with concern. I wouldn't say that life has a different weight because they are human beings or anything like that, but it's still something that comes to my mind.

…That's not something I can say after taking the monster's life so many times. That's what I thought, and while the shock still hasn't left me, I managed to recover.

“I know that one day people will find the whereabouts of Yuuya-dono, but it was sooner than I expected... For that reason, I want Yuuya-dono to meet with His Majesty.”.

“Ah, a-about it..”

Owen-san's words reminded me that I had another purpose besides sending Lexia-san and Luna here, and I cut her words in trepidation.

“Um. If we leave yesterday, it will be fine ... "

“K-you won't..”

I felt even more guilty when I saw Owen-san's face paled as she looked at me.

"I'm sorry! Can I meet the king at another time? I have a schedule to keep..”.

“Eeehh? Yuuya-sama, you will not come to the royal capital with me?”

Lexia-san shouted in surprise, but once this golden week is over, the school will start as usual.

"I'm so sorry! I do not know when the next opportunity will come.. but I will definitely come..!”.

I know it's rude, but all I can do is apologize. Responding to me, Owen-san looked at me as if her soul had been drained.

“B-b... so.. haha, hahaha... if you have other plans, how else, right..”.

“...Hey, Lexia. Is this guy really okay? Looks like he's going to die.”

"It's okay. It happens all the time.”

"What does…?"

Luna looked at Owen-san with an indescribable expression. No, I'm so sorry to have piled up your anxiety ...

After I apologized desperately, Owen-san corrected her posture as if to regain her composure.

“Hmph! Then when do you think we'll meet next?”

“This... it is difficult to say because my schedule is still very uncertain.”

I'm still trying to figure out what the school event will be, too. In my old High School, I could have predicted it to some extent, but in my current High School, that prediction was unreliable…

“So... Then I want you to come to the royal capital at the right time for Yuuya-dono.”

“Eh? Are you sure? Um... how about the king's comfort..?”

I can't hide my surprise at the statement saying I can leave whenever I want. I mean, how can I meet the head of state without making an appointment?

“It may be hard to say that you should come as soon as possible, but the next time will definitely give you more time, right? There have been no major conflicts lately, and diplomatic and domestic politics have calmed down. …Well, there was also the first prince, but it was just speculation, as he said.”

“Y-yes ..”

Is that really okay? However, it is also true that it helped me.

"Well .. I'm really sorry, but I'll visit him as I please for the next time."

“Umu, it's okay. If you go straight down the street there, you will find the city. And if you follow one path that continues beyond that, you will be able to reach the Royal Capital. Unfortunately, I can't arrange a train or anything like that, but.”.

“J-don't mind that! I'm really sorry and thank you very much!”

There was indeed one paved road heading in the direction Owen-san pointed. If it's one way, then I won't get lost.

“Well, I think we should go now. There's so much more we have to investigate now.”

“Deliver me to deal with those of the same profession as me and to be vigilant. I have been hired to do that.”

“...I'll expect you for it.”

I was worried about how Luna would be treated, but I was relieved to see that they did not seem to care about anything other than caution.

“Uh~... Yuuya-sama, are you sure you can't come?”

“Eh. Next time, I will go to the royal capital myself.”

“Yeah, it would be troublesome for Yuuya-sama if I held it for too long. Alright, I will give up this time! But you will definitely come to the royal capital, won't you? Can you promise it?”

"Yes, I promise."

Lexia-san nodded in satisfaction with my words, then headed straight for the luxurious carriage that had been prepared for her.

As Night and I watched the scene, Luna approached me nervously.

“Um. I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused you.”

“It wasn't too much trouble.. I was confused and very worried about many things, but I'm relieved Luna can be safe like this.”

“Yuuya.

"Guk-guk!"

“Night too. You worry about me ... "

Luna muttered that gently as if holding back her words. Then, as they prepared to return, Lexia-san called out to Luna from inside the carriage.

“Luna! We'll move, so take the train now!”

“Ya, I'm coming.”

It's a short exchange, but it's enough to make me feel like she can get along with Lexia-san, and I can only smile looking at them. I hope they will get to know each other better and better over time.

Luna was about to catch up to the carriage that started walking slowly, but then she suddenly stopped and ran towards Night and I. And then Luna kissed my cheek──.

“Yuuya.”

“Eh? Eeehh!?”

“Aaaaaahhhh!”

I heard Lexia-san's scream from the oncoming train, but I can't understand what it's really for right now.

...

...

While I froze in shock to that extent, Luna blushed and said.

”C-kiss this.. way to express gratitude and... uh.. aa declaration of war!”.

"What?"

"I don't know! Find out for yourself!”

As soon as Luna said that, she ran towards the carriage at high speed.

“Hei, Owen! Stop the train now! I will also kiss Yuuya-sama!”

“Iyaa, the weather is very good.”

“Ownnnnnnnnn!”

Apart from Lexia's loud voice, Owen-san said that in a sincere and soothing voice.

"Stop! Please stop! I... I also want to kiss Yuuya-sama!”

Lexia-san leaned out of the carriage and desperately reached out her hand. While watching the scene in a daze, I accidentally touched my cheek as if to confirm the feeling I had just experienced.
