Princess In Another World: New Story
24
Tomorrow.
Daytime in the commander's room.
“How, have you found a new plan?” (Lucy)
“Haaaa, no. My brain is dead, I can't think clearly anymore at this time.” It's just me and Lucy in this room, Iona and her friend are currently busy with other business.
“Excuse me deputy commander, your order is coming.” (Grild) Grild and a few soldiers went inside carrying a large wooden box.
“Wah, already arrived, yes. Akhinya.”
“Order? What did you order?”
After putting the box away, Grild and the other soldiers came out.
I slowly opened the box. “Wah, finally the key to our victory.”
“Win keys? That thing?”
I took out a sniper-type machine gun. “Creation turned out to take quite a long time.” There are some materials that do not exist, or still do not exist in this world. That makes the process a little time-consuming.
“What can that stick do?”
“It can fire bullets with high speed, faster and better accuracy than an arrow, besides the shooting distance is many times further than the arrow.”
“Wah, that was great. Then, how does it work?”
“Hmmm, I don't know either. This is just a prototype, there are still many materials that are lacking to perfect it.”
“You can't perfect?”
“My knowledge is limited, there are some materials that I do not know and I do not know how to make them. In addition, although it was successfully completed, the mechanism may be slightly different from what I know.”
“Isn't that the same thing this thing is useless?”
“So you can say that. Even so, if only there were materials maybe I could learn to make and perfect it.”
“What do you need?”
“Explosives, such as gunpowder and also metal and aluminum materials. As well as material..”
“What material?”
“No, forget the last one. 3 that's enough.”
“But, that last ingredient is also important, right?”
“No, 3 alone it is enough.”
“Once, I'll work on it.”
“Please.”
“Give me.”
The last ingredient I need is raw plastic, but I don't want to pollute the environment in this world with something like that. “It looks like I have to ask someone who can help to solve this problem.”
“Someone who can help?”
“Yes, I'm going first. Please put it on the table.”
“Ya.”
Long enough after that.
The palace's.
“Ari, why are you here?”
“Risa-oneesama, I want to ask you something.” The person I wanted to meet was Risa.
“What's the problem?”
“Yes, I encountered a little obstacle.”
“Alright, I'll listen. Before that, we should find a comfortable place first to talk.”
“Ya.”
In a cafe outside the palace.
“Ehhhh, Risa-oneesama, do you have any problem getting out of the palace?”
“Just relax, besides this place is a place that I like, I have also been here often.”
“So.”
“Princess, you came again.” (Servant)
“Pagi.”
“What's the morning come here, not as usual. Lo? Who is this guy? Is this your lover? Well, my daughter didn't think you'd bring her here.”
“Not. Hmmm, she is my sister.”
“Adik?”
“Oh yes, Ari do you want to order something?”
“Can you please give me water?”
“Good.”
“I order regular.”
“Good, please wait a minute.” The waiter left.
“Risa-oneesama, is she your friend?”
“Ya, her name is Rui she's my classmate.”
“So. Then, why did you say I was your sister?”
“Something's wrong with that? Sooner or later you’kan will marry Iona, so you will be my sister as well.”
“Haaaa, yes yes. I understand.”
“Then, what do you want to talk about?”
“It's about magic.”
“You are interested in such a thing?”
“Only a little, this is also for the sake of need.”
“Necessities?”
“Yes. Risa-oneesama, can you use wind-type magic?”
“Can.”
“If it's like that, can you help me?”
“But at the moment I am a little busy, my work is still a lot.”
“I'll help you, but please help me.”
“Good.”
“Sorry to have you waiting, your order has come.” (Rui)
“Thank you, it looks really good.” (Risa)
“Please enjoy. Oh yes, are you a future husband daughter of Iona.”
Uhuk: choking.
“You okay? Did I say wrong?”
I choked and was a little surprised to hear what he said. “Risa-oneesama, what exactly did you tell her?”
“Nothing, I'm just saying that Iona found her partner. That's it.”
“But, you said she was your sister, you didn't have a sister and your only sister is Iona's daughter, so if you call her sister doesn't that mean she's the one who will be Iona's daughter's partner.” (Rui)
‘What about this very sensitive person.’ Yeah, it's not a big deal either, so I don't want to bother about it.
“Ahhh, true too. Princess, have you heard about the great war that is coming soon?”
“Large war?”
“Iya, the customers since yesterday discussed about it. I accidentally heard it, he said there were a lot of troops gathered in the Bagdist kingdom. And the rumor is they're going to attack this kingdom, I don't know if it's true or not but hopefully it's just a rumor.”
“So. Ari, is there a problem?”
“No.” I didn't think the news was spread. “By the way, where did the news come from?”
“Most of the pedangan roving here.”
“Mobile roving, yes.” I'm not surprised if it happens, besides traders have a very good connection when it comes to finding information.
“Rui, there are other customers quickly serve them.” (??)
“Good. Princess, I go first.”
“Ya.” Rui left.
A few minutes after that, we enjoyed the drink, even though I only ordered water. “Haaaa.”
“Ari, you already know about this’.” Risa looked at me with a serious look.
“Yes, does the king know about this?”
“King still does not know, there are only a few people who know about this. But, is that true?”
“So.”
“Risa-oneesama, you don't wonder why I said that?”
“You have a reason, and for sure it's the best option you've thought of. I won't ask you anything about it.”
“So. Haaaa, if only he could also understand such a thing, surely this would be easier.”
“You talk about Iona?”
“Yes, he forbade me to jump directly into the battlefield.”
“I think he's worried about you.”
“Although this kingdom is in danger, one's selfishness may have a major impact on the survival of this kingdom.”
“You it. Look, I don't actually want to tell you this, but. Do you know what happens when you get hurt while you're away in Victoria?”
“Huh? What's up?”
“Iona is so worried about you, she even went to the entire drug store and called the best doctor to cure you. Her weak body was willing to do such a thing for you.”
Hearing that, I just fell silent.
“Then when you took Iona's disease, by then she was very desperate. The doctors and even the best medicine can't cure you, he looks so desperate. Even though she's not desperate and still looking for a way to heal you, you never care about yourself but you want to see Iona happy, whereas Iona doesn't want to see you hurt even if it's for her. I can imagine it, the pain of seeing our loved ones suffer.”
“People we love suffer, yes.” From the beginning I didn't realize it, because from the moment I was born I didn't get it. Both of my parents hated my birth, and hated my existence so I could not realize it. My open thinking made me unable to realize it, I only cared about someone and did not care about what happened to myself. A person who cannot understand what such affection means, it is very difficult to understand it.
In this world, I have learned a little about it. From Iona's life, understand what love is.
“Think of his feelings, he was always helped by you but he never helped you at all. He tries to change himself to be useful to you, starting with small steps as Round. He wants to see that he can be relied on by you too, you know Iona really wants you to depend on him, too, but since you can solve all the problems yourself it looks like Iona is very dependent on you, for that reason she wants to turn into someone who can be useful to you. Now I'm gonna ask, are you aware of that?”
I was silent and unresponsive, but there was something I wanted to say. “I didn't expect that Iona would go that far.”
“That's obvious, because he loves you so much. So he did all that so that one day you could depend on him.”
This conversation made my mind more open about Iona. I don't know why at a time like this I'm blaming myself for not realizing it. ‘A smart person like me seems to be really bad at this kind of romance.’ There's too much I think about until I can't think of such a trivial thing. “If only I could have noticed it sooner, maybe he wouldn't have made it this far.”
After a long time.
“What if we go home.” (Risa)
“Good.” We back.
On the way, I stopped by the drugstore to buy something and after that we parted ways. I returned to the headquarters with the intention of taking something and Risa returned to the palace.
Long enough after that.
The palace's.
In the laboratory room has Risa.
“I don't know if there's a place like this in the palace?”
“I made it, actually it's just for magic research. So not many people know this place, or even just you who know the existence of this place.”
“So.”
“Then, what did you bring that?”
“Ahh, this.” I took it out, a sniper wrapped in cloth.
“What is it?”
“Hmmm, a rifle. You could say that.”
“Then, what do you want to do with that thing?”
I then explained, the flaws needed to perfect this rifle.
“So, so that's why you asked about wind magic earlier.”
“Iya, what can?”
“Applying into an object, I have never tried it.”
“Once, yes.” Risa said like that, it means that this will only be a display without being able to be used.
“J-don't be moody like that, I'll give it a try. So don't be moody anymore, okay.”
“Really?!”
“Iya. Then, can you tell me how this thing works? That way maybe I can imagine a little what to do.”
“Good.”
I then explained it, in detail and detail without missing a single one.
“Hmmm, the mechanism is quite complicated. But take it easy, I'll try my best.”
“Thanks Risa-oneesama.”
“(Smiling) If you look carefully you and Iona turned out to have a resemblance, yes.”
“Huh?”
“No, forget it. All right, time to work. By the way, this weapon is heavy as well.”
“The material is made of metal and steel mixture.” In this world there are no plastic raw materials and other materials so I use that, and that also makes the process take a long time.
“Wind magic, yes. How strong do you want it to be?”
“As powerful as possible.”
“Then, I will install anti-magic first in this weapon.”
“Anti magic?”
“Yes, because this is an object, so this thing will not be able to hold powerful magic. If forced, without anti-magic it is possible that this object will be damaged and destroyed. In addition, if it is too strong it may also have a negative impact on its users.”
“B-so.” I didn't expect it to be that dangerous. “Then, please.”
“Good.”
After taking a long time.
“Haaaa, akhinya done too.”
“Really?”
“Iya, you can try it.”
“Ringan.” When I gripped her, and the weight was not as heavy as before, it was much lighter.
“I also added magic to lighten it, so this you can use conveniently now.”
“Thank you very much Risa-oneesama, this is very helpful.”
“Then, try using. I'm also curious about how it works, even though you've explained it but I'm still curious.”
“Good.” Since it's just an experiment, I can't do much and the bullet isn't ready either.
I pulled the trigger.
“Nothing happened? Ari, is there a problem?”
The trigger can't be pulled. “True also.” I forgot his arrest. I took it off, and pulled the trigger back. And when I do that.
A very strong wind was shot out from this rifle. ‘This is excessive.’ I didn't think it was going to be like this, and more importantly the sound of the wind was strong enough to sound like an explosion.
“Great.”
“Risa-oneesama, can you set the voice of the angel? His voice is too loud, it will be very disturbing.”
“Can. Wait a minute.”
A few minutes after that.
“Already, you can try it again.”
“Good.” I tried it, and things like before happened but now no sound comes out.
“How? Is it suitable?”
“It's perfect, thanks for helping Risa-oneesama.”
“No problem, if you need any more help just say it. I'm ready to help, oh yeah don't forget your promise. You have to help me too.”
“Good.” From noon to afternoon I spent to help Risa do her job, yes because this includes the agreement I have to do it.
Nightfall.
Commander room.
“Ari, I've prepared your order.” (Lucy)
“So, thanks. The rest is shaping it into a special bullet.”
“Ari, who is on the table what?” (Lion)
“This is a machine gun, yes because there is a slight change, you could say this is a magic gun.” Since the driving force is magic, I call it that.
“Excuse me deputy commander, your other order is up.” (Fame)
“Already arrived, fast once.”
“They said because the model is very easy than before, the process was even faster. Although there are quite a lot of them but they can make it in a short time.” Famus put my order on the table and then left.
50-dozen rounds of ready-made bullets, everything is ready now. I'd like to say that, but since the propulsion uses magic, the gunpowder on this bullet won't burn. I need another trigger to get him on fire. Actually not really, because the power of magic does not need burning, and it also does not cause noise like ordinary machine guns. Because I tried it.
“In this way, all the preparations are done.” I'm all set.
