Chapter 6
06 . Second Princess
“Get him!”
Arumoss ordered the guard who was spacing out .
Hearing Arumosso order, the three soldier who was spacing off turned on me and attacked at once .
I hold the spear end with my hand, “beki” the sound of the spears being smashed resounded .
It was just a normal punch . I hit them all with all of my might and they were sent flying, as their body smashed on the wall they fainted soon after . Arumoss screamed as the exited the room .
His voice sounds like he’s been gravely cornered .
*bota bota bota bota*
There were another rough footsteps approaching . There were 3 more soldier showed up .
“That man is a trespasser, no! He’s an assassin, kill him immediately!”
“Ha!”
Following Arumoss order, there are more of the soldier coming right at me . As the soldiers that came just now were only following order, I hold back as much as I could . Leaving them with only small injuries . There were a lot more reinforcement that came not long after that, but I managed to defeat them all .
“Now… Looks like there’s no on else, it’s your turn now . ”
“Ta . . take this!!!”
Arumoss took something that looked like a walking stick and projected it right at me . It sprout out fire and wrapped my whole body in a split second .
Hot .
It’s hot but . It’s not to the extent where I can’t handle the heat . The flame extinguished in a brief time . My cloths are quite burnt out but my body (especially my hair) seems to be just fine .
“What! Magic don’t work on this guy?!”
“Resistance to heat was increased to 777 times too huh . Well, after all that had happened, nothing can surprise me anymore . ” I glared at Arumoss .
I launched myself if forward and threw a few punches on Arumoss side . Arumoss gave out a pained look as his entire body spun like a drill and fall onto the floor, he rebounded a little . Just like that, he became limp . I can still feel a faint trace of breathing from him so he had only fainted .
“Now then, what should I do . ”
I think about it a little and walked around the place .
I saw one of the soldier that I defeated earlier trying to get up . He raised his body, while remain sitting on the floor he backed away .
“Oi you!”
“Please don’t kill me!”
“If you listen to what I’ve to say I will not kill you . ”
As clearing the misunderstanding that had happened would be troublesome, I cut short to my demand .
Inside the room where the battle had happened earlier, I picked up a pen out of the scattering items on the floor and threw it toward the solder earlier .
“Write down the things that I’m about to say . ”
“W…What and where to?”
“Hold on . ”
I picked up the rope that the soldier were trying to use to constrain my movement and tied up Arumoss . Afterward, I ripped Arumoss shirt off leaving his upper body naked .
“Write it on his body…”
“Eh… That is…”
“Write it down or I’ll kill you!”
When I threatened him a little bit, the soldier immediately wrote the things that I’ve said on Arumoss upper body . While I had Arumoss tied up on my shoulder there were another of his accomplice that came attacking me . There were another five soldier who had a bad look on their face . I was wondering what was wrong with them but after they realized Arumoss was on my shoulder, they came after me while pointing their weapons against me .
( I’m not sure about the context above . . will re-check it later for the mean time I’ll include the raw below for you to MTL or whatever)
アルモッソを縛りあげたあと、そいつを担いだまま敵のアジドを強襲した。
人相の悪いの男が五人いて、最初は何事かとわめいていたけど、おれが担いでるのがアルモッソだと気づいた途端全てを理解したのか、武器を持って襲いかかってきた。
I defeated them all too and tied him up altogether with Arumoss . With Arumoss and his 5 accomplice, I brought them out to the center of the town on my shoulder . I put them all together at one place . There I pulled out the pen that I bring from the fight scene earlier and tried to dray the same crest that Princess Helena got .
“Ahh! It’s too complicated . ”
Drawing the royalty crest was too hard . As I didn’t finish writing it off, I scrub some of the ink away and make it as ‘777’ instead .
On the same time, there were a lot of onlookers that had gathered .
“I’m the culprit for the dwindling amount of copper coin… …? Copper?”
“It can’t be… Arumoss-sama?”
“No, if it’s him, he would definitely do something like that . Since Arumoss became the officer here the amount of re-casting the copper coin had increased like crazy . He is that much of a fraud . ”
“But to do something like melting the copper coin, doesn’t means capital punishment for them?”
“That sort of man won’t even think about the consequences, all that he got in his mind is making profit . ”
*gaya gaya gaya*
The onlookers were chattering .
Gradually more and more people gathered and I can hear all sort of conversation that the onlookers were having . When I focus on listening to their chattering, I heard a lot of complaint had accumulated .
“If that is the guy, he will definitely do it . ”
“I knew it that he was going to do it someday…”
I heard such conversation .
“I knew that person, he was the guy who kept on exchanging copper with silver coins . ”
“And I exchanged it with this men . Originally I’ve brought it to have it re-casted . But as he said that he would recast if for me and the fee is even more cheaper than the original, I exchange it with him instead . ”
After the story from the onlookers was piled up, the charge towards Arumosso has became a definite thing .
***
The following day, I was called to the government office .
What wait me there was a woman who was wearing a set of armor that looked really expensive, even more expensive than the normal armor that a Knight wore .
When I was counting how many knights are there other than the woman, there was only one that I can see .
“Raise your head’s up, you are under the presence of Princess Iris Theresia Mercury . ” – Knight
“Good” – Knight
Iris stretched out her hand, and the Knights stopped .
“There is no need for the formalities at a place like this, rather than that . I would like to hear the entire story . ”
“Emm… . You’re Princess Helena…?”
“I am Princess Helena younger sister, Iris . ”
“I knew it!”
I thought so since the beginning .
They have the same name, moreover they even looked the same .
While Princess Helena is ladylike, her sister gave off the aura of a chivalrous noble .
The air that they gave off are complete opposite, but looking at their brows or their lips, you can
already see that they are related in a glance .
“And you?”
“Err, I’m Yuuki Kakeru . ”
“Kakeru huh? First, I have several question that I’d like to ask you . ”
Princess Iris pointed out to my waist area, and there was where I kept the folding fan .
“Ah, it’s about that . I got this from Princess Helena . ”
I pulled out the folding fan and showed it to Princess Iris .
Iris took it upon her hand and looked at it intently .
“Certainly this is Dearest Sister folding fan . Moreover, it’s a fan that was bestowed by Dearest Sister . ”
“Eh, you know it just by giving it a look?”
“To avoid from it being misused when by any chance we lost the item . The crest had been imbued with a special magic . If it were ever to be stolen the crest would lose its shine in half a day time . ”
“Ah, so that’s how it was . ”
“I’m sorry . There are chances that you might be an impostor so that’s why I asked for the prove first . ”
“…Actually, that’s not far from wrong . :
“What did you say?”
I told everything to the frowning Princess Iris .
About how I saved Princess Helena and how she gave the folding fan .
How I accidentally saw the scene where the carriage was attacked and how Princess Helena’s guard was having a bad time .
I told everything to Princess Iris .
“I see . So that’s how it went . With this another mystery had been solved . I was wondering why would Princess Helena who was busy with military affair would set her eyes on such problem the
decrease in copper coin . ”
“I’m sorry . ”
I somehow apologized .
“It’s all good . It’s a trifle thing before the important matter . Rather than that, ufufu…”
Princess Iris laughed .
She sounded serious since the first time she came here, and this was the first time I heard her
laughing .
Her laugh was so beautiful that it fascinated me .
“It is true that you used it for your own convenience, but it was not for a selfish reason . Indirectly, it’s had shown how my sister has a good eye for people . ”
“Ah, um . ”
“However, Haa… . . ”
“Is there anything?”
“No, it just that the same thing had happened quite a lot recently . There a those who melted the coin and sell it as raw material . Thus those the amount of people who do that doesn’t come down a bit . Even though we have applied capital punishment for this grave offence, it doesn’t seems to be effective . ”
“Don’t you have any other method to deal with this?”
“Of course I know, that is by not lowering the ratio of the copper coin . But if we were to do the
citizen will start to doubt about the declining and it will affect the nation’s prestige . ”
“I see . That sounds complicated in its own way . ”
It sounds like it’s a really troublesome problem to be solved .
It don’t look like a problem that my 777 power up can do something about .
When there was nothing else, I put back the folding fan inside my pocket .
A sudden thought flashed on my mind .
Something— hits me .
“Princess Iris”
“What is it?”
“Perhaps, maybe we can do something about it . ”
“Hou . Let me hear about it . ”
Not having any high expectation regarding what I had to say . There is no way that can be— was written on her expression . If it goes well, the look that was Princess Iris had earlier might be changed to a happy one .
Hoping for such turnout, I said the flash of inspiration that I had to Princess Iris .
