I GOT A CHEAT ABILITY IN A DIFFERENT WORLD, AND BECOME EXTRAORDINARY EVEN IN THE REAL WORLD
#19.To Cities In Different World~ Part 1
When Yuuya had a ball game, Owen and the others had arrived safely in the royal capital and were on their way to report to the king.
"We've returned, father."
“Okay, Lexia! Are you all right?"
The king was relieved to see Lexia safe and sound.Arnold was pleased with the wide smile on his face and immediately gave instructions to the nearest servant.
“Lexia must be tired after just coming back, right? Rest now. I'll hear from you later.”
"I understand."
Lexia nodded obediently at Arnold's words and left the room with the maid. Then, to Owen who was left in the room, Arnold asked him with a serious face, unlike before.
“Owen. I cannot see the young man who is said to be in the Great Devil'sNest... What happened?”
"Ha! That's a lot of things, and we can't make it come this time.
"Fumu .. does it have anything to do with the women there?"
The one who was in front of Arnold's sharp gaze was Luna, who had turned into Lexia's guard of an assassin. Although Luna accepted Arnold's intimidation, the king of the Kingdom of Arcelia, directly, Luna herself answered frankly without looking too overwhelmed.
"Ah. It's because I tried to kill Lexia. So various dates are postponed, and Yuuya cannot come.”
"H-hey!"
"──Hou?"
Owen looked at Luna impatiently, who told the king too honestly, and it made Arnold's gaze even sharper.
"You, you mentioned the murder of my daughter, Lexia?"
"Yes. But as you can see now that Lexia is alive, my assassination attempt failed.
“Then, why are you alive? If you are a murderer, is a failed commission the same as death?
In an atmosphere where lying was not allowed, Luna remained unpressured.In contrast, she remembered that Lexia had approached her about the escort, and she had a small smile.
“Of course, I'm also ready to die. But it was stopped by Lexia herself from everyone. That's why I'm here now.”
“Hmm... I understand.”
As Arnold grunts unhappy──.
"Well!"
He took out the national treasure [Slash Sword Greacle] and then slashed at Luna. However, Luna was in no hurry for Arnold's actions, but instead, she tied him up and stopped his movements.
“Hou? You have found the characteristics of my sword in a flash.”
"Yes. If I tried to stop the sword itself with my thread, it would cut my thread easily. So I have to stop your arm.”
Luna was right, the strings she stretched in an instant did not hinder the movement of the sword, but made Arnold's arm unable to move. As a result, Arnold could not move his arm and could not slash Luna with it.
Arnold who was laughing amusedly changed his appearance from before and smiled bitterly.
“I know your abilities. So can you let go of this thread?
"If you promise not to attack me again, then fine."
As the king and Luna continued to stare at each other, Owen thought about what to do, when the door suddenly opened with great force.
"ah! Dad, what did you do to my Luna!”
“Le-Lexia? I'm thinking you just went to your room.
The one who opened the door excitedly was Lexia, who left early.
That was why, in front of his beloved daughter who had suddenly appeared, Arnold was extremely impatient. Because, although unable to move because of Luna's thread, from the side it looks Arnold slashing Luna.
“Of course, I tried to go to my room. But then I realized that Luna was not following me, so I went back. Then…!"
Lexia, reviving her anger, glared at her father, Arnold.
“If you do something terrible to Luna.. I will hate you, dad!”
“B-hate !?”
Arnold was as white as ash and nearly collapsed on the spot, but Luna's strings interfered and forced her to maintain her slashing attitude. Luna, who was watching the conversation between the father and son, snorted.
“Hmph... well, I will forgive you this time.”
Showing arrogance towards the king, Luna quickly picked up the thread that blocked Arnold's movement. When Arnold was finally able to make a move, he sat in his chair, staggered, but desperately tried to reason and evaluate Luna's abilities.
"...It just blocked my movement just now, but I think you can basically kill me with that thing, right?"
"Yes. If I put it on your neck, it would fly easily.
“A girl who talks bad things.although in my case, I'm already dying because Lexia hates me..”.
"I don't care about that."
Owen himself, once this, inwardly agreed with Luna's statement. Then Lexia, with her arms crossed, asked Arnold.
“So, dad. You already know enough about Luna's abilities, don't you?”
“Yes, well, you seem to be quite good as a companion. What do you think, Owen?”
"Ha! I don't think that's a problem for me either. “
"All right."
Nodding at Owen's words, Arnold looked at Luna again with a dignified attitude that made it hard to believe that she was the one defeated earlier.
"What's your name?"
“That's Luna.”
“Now, Lun. I now acknowledge you as Lexia's bodyguard. You must protect my daughter.”
"Hhhh!"
For the first time on the spot, Luna lowered her head and left the room with Lexia, asked directly by Arnold.
“Hmph..
"Your Majesty is too soft on Lexia-sama."
“Because my daughter is so cute! All right, let's not talk about it for now. So, Owen. Luna is no ordinary assassin. You say that he is skilled, but he is actually a competent person.”
"That's right. In the Dark Guild, it seemed like they called him [Head Hunter].”
"What! the famous [Head Hunter] ? So that was why he was so experienced..and the reason why the assassination attempt failed was because the young man was living in Great Devil'sNest?”
"Yes. The young man who prevented the killing─his name was Yuuya, and he was the one who had just captured Luna. I haven't heard the details, but back then, Yuuya-dono, who was accompanied by the carelessness of Lexia-sama, went with Luna and Lexia-sama to her house in Great Devil's Nest──.”
"What's? Lexia went to a man's house alone?”
"Pulse... Your Honor?"
Arnold raised his eyes at Owen's report, unsure of where his previous self-esteem had gone.
"Don't tell me you didn't live in that guy's house, by any chance?"
“…..”
Owen racked his brain, desperately trying to find the right answer. But silence was the correct answer, and Arnold smiled grimly.
“She may indeed be the benefactor of Lexia. but I don't remember letting it that far. I will make that person a victim of my [Slash Sword Greacle] .”
“As expected, it's not good! It's not like something special happened!”
“You won't know that! You're not even there!
“Kuh! I don't know anymore if he's calm or agitated.!”.
Owen held onto his head as Arnold showed his calm side while remaining angry at this moment.
"And anyway! Due to Luna's attempted murder, our schedule was shifted by a day, and Yuuya-dono could not come.”
“As I mentioned earlier, Yuuya-dono may be a noble or noble from another country, and if we make a mistake, it could cause diplomatic problems. Moreover, do you think that we can win against an opponent who lives in Great Devil's Nest.”
“Gunununu..”.
Arnold looked very frustrated. To Arnold like that, Owen sighed.
" Huh ... For now, I've told him to come when he can come to the royal palace, so I'm sure he'll come too long."
“You how else. I guess I'll have to wait a while longer.”
──In this way, Yuuya is viewed by the king as an enemy without even realizing it.
＊＊＊
──After Arnold and the others discussed Yuuya, speculation began to move elsewhere as well.
With difficulty speaking.
“And there is one more thing I have to tell you..”.
"What, you got more?"
“Ya.. In fact, it seems like one of the nobles supporting His Majesty has asked the Darkness Guild to kill Lexia-sama.”.
“Hou? That's a good sentiment. So what's going on?"
“...It looks like the person hired by the Darkness Guild is a great killer, [Head Hunter ] , but..it..”.
“What a bad attitude. With such a skill, the killing must have been a success, right?”
The hooded person sensed that Rhaegar was in a bad mood and had no choice but to continue.
“...It looks like the murder by [Head Hunter ] was prevented by the person living in the Great Devil's Nest that I told you before, and [Head Hunter ] became the bodyguard of Lexia-sama just like that.”.
"What?!"
Rhaegar involuntarily stood up from his chair.
“It [Head Hunter ] , right!? Putting aside the great murder was prevented, why would someone like that be Lexia's companion!
"I'm sorry. I just have…."
"You're useless!"
Rhaegar shouted in frustration and wandered around the room.
“Sial... Not only is a troublesome existence named Owen near Lexia, but [Head Hunter ] also becomes his bodyguard? Wouldn't it be harder to touch it..?”.
Rhaegar, who had been moving back and forth throughout the room for some time, suddenly stopped a while later.
"Hey. You said they invited the person in the Great Devil'sNest to the royal palace?”
"Hhhh!"
"When that? Is he here?”
"NO. Apparently, he's not here at the moment, but I'm sure he'll be here eventually.”
"So so. Then we have time to react.”
The hooded figure asked Rhaegar as he began to think about it.
"Um ... What exactly is on your mind?"
Then Rhaegar smiled wickedly at the hooded figure.
"What, I think it's time for you to step aside ..."
"What-what!?"
That meant the murder of Arnold, the king, and his father. To the hooded figure who exclaimed at that indecent statement, Rhaegar continued with a laugh.
“What surprised you? Eventually, I will be king. That'll only speed things up a little bit, won't it?”
“T-but killing His Majesty is dangerous. His Majesty is protected by some skilled guards, though not as great as Owen. Moreover, His Majesty himself is extremely powerful, and most importantly, if this is publicly known, His Majesty's own position will be in danger!”
"Did I say something about doing something myself?"
"Huh?"
The hooded figure rolled his eyes hearing those unexpected words.
“Of course, the father and his bodyguard should be strong. But you won't have a problem with that, will you?
“It.... yes, but..”
“And I will even lend you one of my trump“ ”cards. I don't know if it will be effective against Owen or [Head Hunter] , but if it's my father's bodyguard, there won't be any problems.”
“I-it... “ trump” card is...?”
To the timid hooded man who asked in trepidation, Rhaegar smiled fearlessly.
“There is an item called [Sealed Magic Barrier] which, if activated, prevents the use of any magic inside and blocks interference from outside. And I have it.”
"What!"
"You know what? With this, my father's guards would be helpless, because the father, who was confident in his swordsmanship, only had a magician by his side. Therefore, if you use the [Sealed Magic Barrier], the only targets you should worry about are Owen, [Head Hunter], and my father. If this is the case, you can handle it, right?
"If there is no interference from the witch or Owen or anyone, we can try it, but if we fail, His Majesty will be in a bad position ..."
"You can rub it."
"Well!"
"You know that, right? You said that the person who lives in this Great Devil's Nest will come. Will be quick to blame him for all the crimes and kill him. On the other hand, if we refer to Lexia as the mastermind, then we can also bring Lexia herself to justice. The stranger and Lexia, who brought the stranger with her, will most likely be suspected if father dies, right?
“…..”
“In addition, if someone who lives in the Great Devil's Nest comes, he will definitely meet my father. That's probably with a minimum number of people. No one would believe there were people living in the Great Devil's Nest, and if that was true, they would hide it first to prevent it from being extracted by other countries. Then, when the time is right, they will publish it. Therefore, I can ask father to leave. We will use the [Sealing Magic Barrier] on a small number of guards, and if you guys attack, everything will be over. As long as you kill them all, all the testimony about me will happen to Lexia and the stranger, and then blame them for the crime. What, just tell the outside world that the savages living in the Great Devil's Nest have gone berserk.
The hooded figure could not say anything to Rhaegar, who smiled darkly and told him.
“Now, prepare yourself. Even though he's not here at the moment, that doesn't mean you should just relax. You have to make arrangements to make sure that you will kill my father. There is no room for error on this one.”
"…Ha!"
“Fufufu... I don't know who he is, but at best, he can be a stepping stone for me.”.
──In the royal capital, in addition to the hand that greeted Yuuya, the evil side also reached out at the same time.
＊＊＊
While Yuuya's topic was being discussed in another world, a magazine featuring "Ousei Gakuen" was also published on earth. Initially, because it was a famous school, not many people were curious to read the feature article, but the photos that appeared in the magazine caused a sensation in the world.
It was a photo of Yuuya jumping and hitting the ball excitedly while playing tennis, and it didn't take long for people to recognize her as the person who had previously been in the news because of her photo with the Miu model. As a result, Yuuya still does not know that information that he is a student of “Ousei Gakuen” will be spread, and a waiting list will appear.
And other entertainment agencies and others noticed the entertainment agencies that partnered with the magazine had signed contracts with it. So, they thought and regretted the fact that they were a step too late to pull him out, but stronger agencies are starting to think about whether they can pull him out of the contracted agency and become their own on better terms.
Yuuya, who has gone from one feature article in school to a quick buzz, is once again widely featured on television and online relationships, unknowingly creating a huge fan base. The female president, who had witnessed such a move in the world, smiled cynically.
“Fufufu... Indeed, Yuuya-kun did not sign the contract right then and there, but once he filled the outer ground like this, he would not be able to sign a contract with anyone but us anymore, right? Moreover, it was only a matter of time before he got into show business after making a big deal.”
The female president muttered this to herself as she held up the magazine with the feature article in her hand, and then the next scenario came to her mind.
“Now we've come this far, all we have to do now is make our big label debut.”
In this way, Yuuya's outer space continued to be filled without his knowledge.
