Tsuki Ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu
Chapter 100: Demonic request

Chapter 100! Yep! I don't expect I'll get this far.

Everyone who has supported this series to this day, thank you very much! At first I was a bit scared of all this, as this was my first translation and hoped to receive the full brunt of the internet community actually, but I was proven wrong. Thanks to all of you I can translate so much and feel so much satisfaction in it. You never bore me.

“Kuzunoha Company... If I remember correctly, it is another miscellaneous store that opened not too long ago. And it has a shop in Tsige too, isn't it, a helper branch right?” (Rone)

"You know very well" (Makoto)

“Heh, so you say. Raidou, the image you gave now is completely different from when you used written communication, you know? Which one is original?” (Rone)

"This one. Shiki, I'm sorry but can you keep that Nabe a little bit further away? The sweet smell even got here. So, Rona-san. What do you mean by "so you say"?" (Macoto)

“About knowing well. Even though my name is known only by a few people. How could a newly created company have higher intelligence gathering than a country? Wa, this is yummy” (Rona)

“Ouch!! Rona, motherfucker! That's what I cook to eat!! Satan can't eat blue things, that's cannibalism!” (Germany)

“Can you not call me by my familiar name? Also, saying that eating blue objects is the same as cannibalism, it's a first. Ah, I'll take this one also~. T's? Yummy!!” (Rone)

“It's not like being red makes it okay!! Ooooh... You bastard, do you want to make this your last meal?” (Germany)

“All right, calm down Shiki. It's okay to order more. Ah, Rona-san. The bird meat there is also ready to eat ”(Makoto)

“Raidou, you really know your stuff. The spice is also the best~! Maybe I should learn how to make this before I go back ”(Rona)

"Raidou-san ..." (Germany)

Gotetsu's private room is pretty messed up.

Rona-san, who obviously does not know the manners when eating Nabe, seems to like Nabe's cooking. Even so, it seems that Shiki and him are not a match. Shiki, even though you took the initiative and proposed to order and eat while discussing, why are you the one who suffers the most?

Even if you come crying to me, I can't do anything for you. It's okay to order more, so don't make a sad sound.

Shiki seems to know Rona, but maybe because she doesn't want to reveal her identity, she hasn't told him who she is before. In his eyes, Shiki might be reflected as an enemy to watch out for. That he didn't show it on his face as expected.

“Haaah~ I eat well! It has been a long time since I was completely satisfied! ” (Month)

"Then, let's continue the conversation" (Makoto)

“Talking yes. You say so, but even trying to kill you will be difficult in 2 against 1, so am I not in a loss? First of all, I may want to know more about Kuzunoha~” (Rona) Company

“Discussions starting with both in the same position are not much? Moreover, Rona-san, you are used to it, right?” (Macoto)

“Nomnom, that's right Rona. Things like strategies, conspiracies, traps, tricks; isn't that your area of expertise?” (Germany)

Shiki, so she finally got a chance to eat right. He doesn't read the mood though. Nabe on Gotetsu is his soul food. Let's agree for now.

“... Really, how much do you know? You said we have a helper branch in Tsige so... that means you have someone stationed there?” (Macoto)

“Heh~, the devil's plan has advanced all the way to the desert? It was something I heard for the first time as well ”(Shiki)

By the way, we know that name only because Shiki knows it and it's not like we've built our intelligence gathering power on that level. Tomoe seemed to be doing some things in disguise, so in places close to the store, we were able to get a lot of information.

"Is the Kuzunoha Company Aion's information organization?" (Rone)

No comment on what I said yes.

Ah, Tsige is broadly speaking a land affiliated with Aion, right. The government officials sent in at all times were all very incompetent and the land was practically the self-government of the merchants, so I don't really remember. I felt like the place was ruled mainly by the merchant guild and adventurer guild.

"Cannot be. We are not affiliated with anything. Not for humans or demons ”(Makoto)

That's why I'm thinking of making a shop in Academy Town. This is the first time I have said this yes. I had never spoken to any demons associated with the demon camp before, so the only thing I said was that I had done business without being tied to any country. Rembrandt-san is probably more on the human side. I really sell to anyone and I don't think to make a difference depending on race.

“You are human, yet you are not affiliated with human beings? Do you understand what you yourself are saying, Raidou?” (Rone)

Rona-san showed a hint of confusion as she matched my gaze to look for my true intentions.

“You already have some hyumans following you by your side right? I don't think it's something so surprising. It's just that I'm more neutral than them ”(Makoto)

Some people are lying. I only know Sofia.

“... Really, I gave up. Thinking that a power already has more information than us, I did not imagine that possibility. So in humans there are also people who think of strategy, tactics and plans yes. I think it will take at least 50 years for you to understand the importance of information ”(Rona)

50 Years you said. Rona-san, humans are not monkeys. The war would be over if that were the case.

From the moment I read the book in the library, I sometimes had the same thoughts as him, so I couldn't deny his words completely.

“Human comes in many varieties. So, in order to do business more freely and on the land where our first store was located, I want to know your purpose of infiltrating here. I definitely want to know ”(Makoto)

“Raidou, please do not put on such a sinister face. Honestly, at this moment where our information is at a disadvantage, I just have no desire to oppose you anymore ”(Rona)

Completely taking off her fight mode, the Onee-san cosplayed school uniform puts both of her elbows on the table.

“You said that with a commendable face, but you are a fox woman who will not hesitate to use talismans, seduction or even dangerous drugs and magic. So Raidou-sama, don't let your guard down. Hm, good taste. Even half-baked can not be underestimated. What a true discovery ”(Shiki)

"… really. How difficult it is to face. Whahuh? Does Kuzunoha Company collect my personal history?” (Rone)

“I'll leave it to your imagination. So.. well, I have no proof, but I may not be your enemy” (Makoto)

“... You just said you were neutral right? I don't think this is the case but, could it be that you intend to become a merchant who will provide support to humans and demons in the ensuing war? ” (Month)

Rona-san's eyes became much sharper. A bloodlust that had disappeared once again lurked within the room. I see, demon general huh. This woman was without a doubt a general who served the demon lord. Putting aside his behavior, loyalty to his own people was something I personally liked. My interest in the demons serving under the demon lord is growing.

“We do not plan to provide weapons in war” (Makoto)

At present. Well, not just because I don't have a plan, but I don't really want to do it.

"I understand" (Rona)

Nodding lightly, Rona, while leaving her elbow on the table, hooked both hands on her face, hiding her face as she lowered it.

Conversation ceased. Shiki's voice piercing and eating Nabe is the only sound that dominates the room.

Does he think about our relationship in a positive way? Although maybe not further away from us that can be used. Even so, I think she is a woman who is easier to talk to than Sofia.

In a situation where he misunderstands, our strength is the best chance. To be honest, I lacked the speaking skills and ability to negotiate well with someone whose main job was as the head of information gathering. If it turns out to be dangerous, I intend to mark Shiki.

I can only wait for his decision.

“... Fuh~. In short, Raidou also wanted to sell items to the demons right? If I could be that foothold, I would be happy. But if I plan to do something here, it will tarnish the business that has gone well. That's why you want to learn my destination ”(Rona)

Exactly. Well, there was no need to rush to sell items to the demons. I don't think that's necessary in this opportunity. What matters is the second half. I don't want them to stop us.

"Yes, that's right" (Makoto)

“So it's really yes. You don't care about the direction of the war or the destruction of the country, just about being a hindrance to your business, right? ” (Month)

“... Benar” (Makoto)

"I understand. I still can't trust you completely, but I've understood your intentions. Then now it's important to learn about each other, right? ” (Month)

"learned? But the information is..” (Makoto).

What does he mean?

“Let me tell you this first Rona. If you connect the body with Raidou-sama, you will regret it for the rest of your life. This is an honest warning that thinks about your well-being. The disaster might come to bite me too, that's why I'll do everything to get in the way, so keep that in mind ”(Shiki)

Shiki stops her chopsticks and looks at Rona-san with a serious face, telling her slow and detailed instructions.

Connecting bodies? So that's what he meant by learning about each other.

“You intend to continue calling me without a title yes, Shiki” (Rona)

"You have no reason to call me without honor" (Shiki)

“I reply to those words to you. Gosh darn. When I talk about learning, I don't mean our bodies. If that's your wish, I don't mind. I'm curious about your strengths and way of thinking, if only a little. If the lecture is like that, not a reference right?” (Rone)

“Hah~. For you to not be aware of part of Raidou-sama's extraordinary strength. Are you sexually cold, virgin? ” (Shiki)

"Concretely, what do you want us to do?" (Macoto)

I decided to ignore the comedy dramas Rona and Shiki.

“You are free to believe me or not. The reason why I came here is ... "(Rome)

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

[And that's how it is. Lime, I'm sorry, but can you investigate?]

"By pleasure! I'll find information soon. Actually, this is a disgusting story. Then ...” (Lime)

Lime immediately responded to my request and left the room. Practically at the same time, the two presences disappeared. Definitely Onis Forest: Akua and Eris. It seems that the girls will be joining the investigation as well.

"Doubt everything a woman says is the safest measure, Raidou-sama" (Shiki)

“Shikis. It seems you already know him but, is he an acquaintance? ” (Makoto)

"Yes. He was mostly the one who cooperated in the exchange of information with me. I don't know how many times I've used and been dragged into trouble ”(Shiki)

Shiki's expression turned to sadness. Seeing him like that, he must have been through a lot.

“Tipya may be similar to Mio-dono. I don't know the details but it seems that he has a huge debt of gratitude with the demon lord. He had sworn allegiance to an abnormal level. His strength is not comparable to Mio-dono, but just think of Rona's devious way of thinking as something close to hers. Ah, please keep this conversation a secret from Mio-dono ”(Shiki)

Sneaky Mio who has a really good brain?

I'm gonna give up. My heart will be broken without a doubt.

The man called the demon lord seems to be the one with a Vessel that is bigger than me. From the fragmented information I have, I can already imagine him as a superior ruler. He is most likely a capable man. T's? It is possible that the demon lord is a woman. Now that I think about it, I have practically no information.

“Rona-san yes. In the end, it seems that until this matter is finished, Karen Frost will continue to attend the Academy ”(Makoto)

"She will definitely move quietly" (Shiki)

“I did tell him that Kuzunoha Company is out of bounds. But based on what you said, it's hard to believe him ”(Makoto)

"Yes. The woman lies as much as she breathes ”(Shiki)

What kind of woman is that? To give that answer without hesitation.

“In case, can you try and predict his movements at any time?” (Macoto)

“That's what I wanted to do from the start. It seemed like she had already returned to her inn for today. He completely relaxed without knowing that he was being observed ”(Shiki)

“... Be sure to peek at it in moderation okay? It's okay to know his current location for now. In that case, let's get some presents and go say hello to Rembrandt's sister ”(Makoto)

“Tto, that's right. I'll guide you there. Is it okay to bring cut fruit as a gift? How about a bouquet of flowers ... "(Bron)

Is correct. I haven't even told them that I visited so maybe it's better to have flowers?

I was planning on carrying the cut fruit like when carrying a fruit basket as a gift, but thinking about it, this is a product I manage in my store. It would turn into ordinary publicity.

Not really, fruits have a good reputation so ...

"Uhm, Raidou-sama" (Shiki)

“T?” (Macoto)

"If it's okay with you, should I choose a suitable one?" (Germany)

“... Sorry. Please” (Makoto)

It seems like he saw immediately what worried me. Shiki, thanks for everything.

After a few minutes.

In the end, I brought the fruits and bouquets that Shiki had chosen, and headed to their room.

“Hei Shiki, about Rembrandt's sister's room. Isn't this inside the noble's dorm?” (Macoto)

Especially a pretty high class. Rembrandt-san loved his daughter very much.

"Yes. It looks like so ”(Shiki)

“People in the staff room told me a lot that “although I am a temporary teacher, does not mean you can visit them”. If it was a normal student, it would be one thing, but ... "(Macoto)

"... I did my best" (Shiki)

D-What's the best?

"You did your best" (Makoto)

"Yes. At a level that leaves no side effects. It was a task that really tore apart the bones ”(Shiki)

“…”

Let's leave it as if I didn't hear anything.

After revealing my position as a temporary teacher, I stood at the entrance of the lodging of the sisters with my permission to visit confirmed. Creeping up would obviously be a bad idea. This is just to celebrate their return to school and it is not surprising either.

Both of them lived in the same room and it was confirmed that both were there. I explained my reasons for this visit to the people in charge. The landlady-san made a bitter face as we entered the noble dormitory and arrived safely in front of their room.

When I knocked, I heard some crackling sounds and the steps got closer.

Door opens.

[Sif-san, Yuno-san. I'm really sorry for not being able to visit you when you're sick. I introduced myself to the class but let me do it again. I am the merchant your father helped you with, Raidou. That you are now completely healthy, allow me to congratulate you. It may be too late, but this is a congratulatory gift from our side]

For now, I write what I think and congratulate them for their recovery, and also make a light self-introduction again.

They received pieces of fruit in a rather large container and a bouquet of flowers from Shiki.

Both of them had already taken off their uniforms and were wearing normal clothes. The designs are different from each other. Both are wearing one piece clothing that may be made for both having opposite designs. That looks expensive.

The sisters who received the fruits and bouquets with full smiles, strongly invited us to enter the room and we ended up disturbing their room. I don't mind. As long as I give them what I come to give and give my greetings, I don't really need to go in …

“Raidou-sensei, your personality is completely different compared to when you were in the class” (Sif)

"Yes. That surprised me!” (Yuno)

As we sat on the sofa where we were invited, the two of them replied to me from the opposite side.

[Lectures are places where one comes to learn and gain strength. I unconsciously became strict. I was always helped by my assistant Shiki to calm them down. That I interact with the two of you like this, please keep it a secret from the other students]

I couldn't tell them I was doing carrots and sticks. And if they were to tell it to others, it would be troublesome in many ways.

“Shiki-san, right? I have heard about Tomoe-san and Mio-san from father, but have you been with Raidou-sensei for a long time? ” (Sif)

"Yes. I have been serving Raidou-sama for a long time. It's just that the trip to Tsige was unexpected, so I can't visit Tsige ”(Shiki)

Just like we set before, Shiki told them about the settings we made. Of course, we expected the two to ask Shiki, so we thought about it beforehand.

Fortunately, they did not continue the topic any further and big sister Sif prepared tea while little Yuno took out the pastries.

Both are cold-headed. Taking the offered tea, we had a short pause. The two sisters looked at each other and nodded small.

“I Sif, Tsige merchant's eldest daughter, Rembrandt. Raidou-sama, has saved our lives back then. I can't find the words to express my gratitude. This pleasure we will never forget and will stick in our hearts. We want to reply you ”(Sif)

“Same here, Yuno. Just like my older sister, thanks to Raidou-sama we are here healthy now. If in the future there is something we can do, please feel free to ask ”(Yuno)

…

They thank me to a dangerous level! Even the little sister set her tone and said an incredible thing with a serious face!

Their fight against a deadly curse disease must have severely cornered the girls. Even now I make Lime find people under curse diseases and make medicines. The curse that made you sick and ended up killing you. I really don't think it's something that can be forgiven.

[Alright then, you two. From now on you will live for happiness. That would be my payment. Also, there is no Raidou-sama. We are students and teachers, so call me sensei or use –san]

“... Eh?”

I think they may have pondered a lot about it. That's why I'm thinking of an answer just in case this happens. Since I was in Tsige.

They were finally freed from the curse disease, but if they were bound by the next responsibility, it would be worth it. So I decided to tell them to live their lives happily.

I don't know if my answer was unexpected for either or if my immediate response surprised them, but they both looked dumbfounded.

[That was the words of your life's savior, so please keep that promise. Don't underestimate me just because my face is ugly, understand? You two are pretty "that" when you're sick]

“T-Please don't touch that topic! We already know that sensei sees our appearance as more embarrassing than naked!” (Sif)

"Uh, it must be worse than being naked ..." (Yuno)

After all, they were practically ghosts. I remember that Rembrandt-san wanted to make portraits of his wife and daughter as they recovered in celebration. Even I thought it was insensitive but, what happened to it?

[Now that I think about it, your father said that he wanted to leave behind memories of the three of you recovering]

“... Sensei, I've thought about that stupid act seriously”

“... Sensei, he was punished along with Morris who made a mistake in your entry document from student to teacher, know?”

Ah, how scary. These sisters might be scary.

Their tones are down. Just by hearing their voices, I felt a piercing chill.

My instincts told me that I should not know about what happened, so I decided not to ask the details of the punishment. His wife and daughter might do something. But I won't ask.

I was also involved in it, so I better not touch on the incident. There are things that cannot be turned into laughing matter even if time passes.

[A.. Ahahaha. I'm seeing. Well, I don't mind. Now, Shiki. We have to leave immediately]

"Yes, Raidou-sama" (Shiki)

He did not speak at all in conversation and only acted as an assistant. For that I am grateful.

I thanked the two kind-hearted girls who were saddened that we had already left, and left the noble dormitory.

"Raidou-sama, about the two of them ..." (Germany)

"What?" (Macoto)

“Although they are rich among humans, I feel they do not have much attachment to the outer appearance. I also saw that their gratitude for Raidou-sama was a real thing. And that kind treatment to the guests, I feel it's the first time I've seen an ordinary human” (Shiki)

Sure. I feel my current disciple is just afraid of me, but you've treated Lime who was influenced by Tomoe as abnormal?

“There was a time when their own outer appearance became terrible due to the curse disease. They might change their way of thinking and are now the ones who are more concerned with what is in it” (Makoto)

“No matter which one, it is something happy. Both will definitely grow ”(Shiki)

“Shiki-sensei Approval? They are beginners with a bright future ”(Makoto)

While having a frivolous conversation, Shiki and I returned.

Next morning.

Contact with Lime Latte disconnected.
