Cheat Magician (Hazure Hantei) Chapter 220

Repatriation, summoning

***---***

Negotiations with the knights stationed in Shiron proceeded smoothly thanks to the order of the Knight Commander and the advice of the knights who witnessed the commotion in the Chamber of Proceedings.

However, when they were told that they would be sent to the royal castle using the repatriation technique, the knights didn't even try to hide their suspicious expressions.

Even in this world, summoning and repatriation seemed to be unfamiliar magic.

After demonstrating using Mart and explaining precautions using wooden sticks, they finally seemed to be convinced.

"Then, I will repatriate fifty people first, so please line up in five lines of ten people, keeping the distance as close as possible."

They were strong knights, but when they were lined up tightly, they fit in a place of about 5 meters square.

As a mark of the repatriation destination, the dark-attribute golems were set up at the royal castle training grounds where the Knight Commander was waiting.

"Then, let's get started. Don't play around by sticking out your limbs or pushing each other ... Repatriate!"

After feeling my magical power being sucked away, fifty knights disappeared from my sight.

I immediately sent Mart as a messenger to tell them to leave the repatriation destination.

As soon as the receiving side was ready, I immediately repatriated the next 50 people.

After repatriating from Shiron, I moved to Kuujo and repeated the same work.

Compared to sending people from Volzard to Japan, I used less magical power, but there were a lot of people to repatriate at once, and they were repatriated to a place far away, so I had to consume an amount of magical power accordingly.

I didn't collapse yet, but I planned to summon Yuika's family to Volzard in the afternoon, so I took some medicine to help restore my magical power.

"Then, Camilla, Knight Commander, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Yes, I respectfully obey. Maou-sama, please have a good new year."

"Yup, happy new year ..."

Since the Knight Commander watched us embracing each other in a daze, it was kind of embarrassing.

Starting with the Knight Commander, the salutes of the 200 repatriated knights sent me off as I dived into the shadows and headed for Volzard.

When I moved to Yuika's room, she seemed to be on the phone with her family.

"Yuika, can I come in?"

"Aah, Kento, come in, come in. Then, Okaa-san, Kento will pick you up in a little while, so get ready. Yup, yup, I'll see you later."

Yuika's voice was lively, as expected she must be happy to see her family after a long absence.

"Did your parents say they were ready?"

"Yup, or rather, Mio can't wait and it looks like they're having a hard time."

"Then, I would like to pick them up early, but is it awkward to have them come here?"

"Yup, other people will see, so I'm thinking of having them directly sent to Klaus-san's mansion."

"Then, Yuika will also go, right?"

"Yup, I've asked Riche to let me stay in the same room with my family."

"I see, then, shall we go?"

"Yup ..."

Our bodies drew together, but as soon as we separated, Yuika frowned.

"Kento ... What is this smell?"

"Ahh, yesterday I was on standby near a village in Resenburg, so I went straight to the royal castle for a meeting, so I borrowed a bath. After all, a big bath is nice ... I'm going to make a big bath in my house too."

"Is that so ... So, a meeting?"

"Yup, it was still a mess as usual ..."

Yuika let out a sigh of exasperation when I told her about the Undead attack and the possibility that the royal castle would be targeted on New Year's Day.

"Haa ... They're still doing that."

"Yup, I think it's okay because I've created a system that can respond even if I'm not there."

I had briefly talked about Havre Calvine's behavior so far, so Yuika seemed to be convinced when she heard that it was the last stumbling block.

Yup, it looked like I managed to gloss over the case of hugging Camilla, but the aftermath was scary.

When I walked with Yuika toward the Lord's Mansion, the town was decorated with various decorations to welcome the New Year.

The brightly colored decorations, such as red, green, and yellow, were like a mixture of Tanabata and Christmas.

There were dolls such as Goblins and Orcs with their necks tied, and if you saw them for the first time, you would be taken aback.

The big difference from Japan was that most of the shops were closed and not open for business.

Volzard's style seemed to be to welcome the New Year quietly with your family, instead of putting on conspicuous decorations and holding end-of-the-year sales and New Year's sales.

"It's strange that it's more lively than usual, but it's less crowded and quieter than usual."

"Yup, really. In Japan, from Christmas until the beginning of the New Year, it feels like a festival."

"But, I've heard stories that in the past, even in Japan, it used to be like this near famous temples, other than entertainment areas."

"It seems so, but that's a story of our grandparents time."

"Yup, but, I wonder which one is better. It's important for the family to get together properly, but it's also fun to have the city be lively."

"I wonder which is better. But, if you want to run a shop, you need people who work, and those people don't have time to relax with their families, so the Volzard style might be better."

"Aah, I see ..."

"What's the matter?"

"For us, wouldn't it be nice to enjoy both?"

"Yeah. Around New Year's Day in Japan, go back to Japan and have fun, and when it's Volzard, enjoy it in Volzard."

Kajikawa-san was likely to give me a sour look if I talked about this, but I was doing my best, so I wouldn't be punished for this kind of reward.

When I arrived at Klaus-san's mansion, Yuika's family had arranged to be allowed to use the mansion's guest room.

"Morning, Riche, my best regards."

"Good morning, Kent-sama. Please leave the hospitality of Yuika-san's family to us."

It would be rude to suddenly move into the room, so I used the garden in front of the entrance to summon Yuika's family.

Now that the Volzard side was ready to accept them, I visited the Asakawa Family in Hikarigaoka.

I bypassed the auto-lock this time and directly rang the doorbell.

"Good morning, it's Kokubu. Everyone, are you all ready?"

"Morning, Kokubu-kun. Thank you for your time today."

"Yes, that's right, I think you heard it from Yuika-san, but this time I will invite you to Volzard using summoning. For everyone, it will be in the form of moving from the living room with shoes on, is that okay?"

"Yeah, it doesn't matter. I'll leave everything to Kokubu-kun."

"Then, would you please prepare to go out, such as locking the door, and gather in the living room with your shoes?"

While Yuika's family was locking the door and checking the sources of fire, I laid out the cardboard I had prepared in the living room and arranged dark attribute golems around it.

When everyone had gathered, I told them about the customary summoning and repatriation techniques.

"It's really dangerous, so please be sure to abide."

"I know. After seeing the video of the accident the other day, I absolutely wouldn't consider imitating that."

Mio-chan, who was in high spirits, had her expression stiffen after hearing Tadao-san's words.

"Could it be that you also saw her leg being amputated?"

"Oya, Kokubu-kun, didn't you watch it. The situation of screaming after leaving a leg behind, up until Kokubu reconnected the leg, it was recorded perfectly. Well, I heard about it, but healing magic is amazing."

I was too busy to look at the information on the net again, and it seemed that the video of the summoning accident the other day had spread.

The Japanese government seemed to be sticking to the position that healing magic did not exist in Japan because it was a different world.

Nevertheless, it seemed that the internet was overflowing with requests for treatments that were impossible with modern medicine.

"Yu~p ... I guess it's a bad thing after all."

"Are you okay, Kokubu-kun."

"Maa, it's probably okay. It should work out somehow, so let's move to Volzard for now."

"Alright. Excuse me, but could you turn off the lights in the living room?"

"Understood, the switch is ... over there."

When the Asakawa Family was ready, I moved to Klaus-san's mansion and summoned the three of them.

"Summon!"

The summoning technique was successfully activated, and along with some cardboard extras at their feet, we welcomed Yuika's family.

"Papa, Mama, Mio!"

"Yuika!"

"Yuika-chan."

"Onee-chan!"

Seeing the four members of the family embracing each other made my eyes feel hot too.

"Everyone, is there anything wrong with you?"

"Kokubu-kun ... Words."

"It looks like it went well."

"What does this mean? I'm speaking a language other than Japanese, right?"

"Yes, I summoned you with the image of imparting language knowledge, so you should be able to speak this language."

"Eeeehhhh, is that so ..."

Beside Tadao-san, who was raising his voice in surprise, was Mio-chan with an expression of terrible disappointment.

"Huh? Mio-chan, are you not able to understand the language?"

"Nope, I think I understand it, but if I understand the language, I won't be able to have mofumofu translate for me ..."

"Ahh, you were worried about that, Mart, Mirt, Murt, please play with Mio-chan."

"Wafuu, Goshujin-sama, this girl is Yuika's imouto, right."

"Wau, in that case, they're going to be family, right."

"Wau, pat me, pat my belly."

Mio-chan's eyes were wide open, surrounded by Mart and the others who had jumped out of the shadows.

"C, can I touch them?"

"This one is Mart."

"This one is Mirt."

"I'm Murt, pat me, pat me."

"I, I'm Mio. It's nice to meet you. Fuwaaaa, mofumofuu ..."

Mio-chan, who stroked Murt, was making a bewitched expression, she also stroked Mart and Mirt.

As Tadao-san and Mika-san watched over her while squinting happily, the front door of the mansion opened and Klaus-san and Marianne-san appeared.

Naturally, Tadao-san and Mika-san's eyes were glued to Marianne-san's bunny ears, weren't they.

"Welcome to Volzard. I am the Lord Klaus Volzard. This is my wife, Marianne."

"Asakawa Tadao, no, my name is Tadao Asakawa. This is my wife Mika, and my second daughter Mio. My daughter Yuika is indebted to you."

"Nn? Do you understand what I am saying?"

"Yes, thanks to Kokubu-kun's summoning technique, I seem to be fine with the language."

"Hou, if that is the case, we can talk quickly. Maa, let's not stand around and talk, please come inside."

"Yes, I will be in your care."

We were invited by Klaus-san and I tried to enter the mansion, but I was pulled by the back of my jacket.

"Hey, what about the big mofumofus?"

"Ahh, that's right. Nero, Zeta, Eta, Theta, this is Yuika's imouto, Mio-chan. Please get along well."

"Hii!"

As soon as she saw Nero slipping out of the big shield of darkness, Mio let out a short scream and clung to me.

When Zeta and the others showed up after Nero, she started trembling while clinging tightly.

"I'm Nero, nya, let's get along, nya."

"I'm Zeta, nice to meet you."

"I'm Eta, hello."

"I'm Theta, it's nice to meet you."

"Mio-chan, they're all my genus, so it's okay. They won't bite ore scratch you."

"I, I'm Mio. N, nice to meet chu ..."(TN:She bit her tongue.)

When I stroked the back of Nero's big ears, Mio-chan also timidly extended her hand.

"Fuwaaaa, so fluffyy ..."

As soon as Mio-chan learned how Nero felt with her hands, she unconsciously moved as if drawn in and lay against the nape of its neck.

"Fuwafuwa, it's so fluffy, it feels good ..."

Mio-chan was rubbing her face against Nero's neck to the point where I wanted to ask which one was the cat.

"Mio, let's go, Mio."

"Onee-chan, just a little longer ..."

"It's okay, Nero won't run away, so hurry up."

"Ye~s ... See you soon, Nero."

"Let's play again, nya."

Mio reluctantly released Nero and ran after Yuika.

"Kent-sama, us too ..."

"Yup, nn? What's wrong, Riche."

"I smell a woman ..."

"Ahh, that's ..."

I was sniffed out by Riche, who had good intuition, but I showed off the excuse I used with Yuika earlier.

Yup, the second time you make an excuse, it will flow smoothly.

"Is that so ... Kent-sama, do you take a bath with your clothes on?"

"Eeh? I, it's not like that ..."

"Yuika-san too, because she can see her family, I guess they drew her attention. The perfume isn't from Kent-sama, it's from the clothes you wear."

"Uguu, th, that's ..."

"Kent-sama."

"Y, yes ..."

"I'll do you a favor just this once, but there will be no next time."

"Ii! ... Understood."

Riche pinched my flank as hard as she could.

"Now, let us go, Kent-sama."

"Yes ..."

Yup, it looked like it would be better to wait for a chance somewhere and change clothes quickly.

Klaus-san said that he had something to talk about with the Asakawa couple, and since they no longer needed an interpreter, I was kicked out.

After Yuika and Mio-chan were guided to their room by Riche, they also seemed to be having some kind of girls talk and I was kicked out again.

Riche's wink at that time was extremely meaningful and terrifying.

As a side note, Mio-chan had Murt assigned as her bodyguard and comforter.

[ Kent-sama, there is still time until evening. We should go back to the boarding house and take a short break. ]

"That's right, then shall we."

I returned to the Asakawa Family's living room from Klaus-san's mansion, turned off the lights, collected the dark attribute golems, and then dived into the shadows and moved to the boarding house.

In the evening, I planned to escort Amanda-san and Meisa-chan to Klaus-san's mansion.

"I'm back."

"Ahh, you're finally back. Where are you wandering around without contacting me at all."

"I'm sorry. Even though it's the end of the year, it's been a mess."

"Kent, have you had lunch?"

"Aah, I've forgotten to eat again."

"Seriously, it can't be helped. Sit down, I'll make something for you."

"Thank you very much."

The inside of the shop was neat and tidy, probably after a big cleaning.

"Amanda-san, what about Meisa-chan?"

"Ahh, she went to sleep saying she was tired from cleaning. It's okay, I'll wake her up in time and dress her up."

"Yes, I'm counting on you."

Amanda-san made a creamy soup with short pasta floating in it.

A gentle taste that permeated my empty stomach.

"Right, Amanda-san, I have to pay the boarding fee."

"Ahh, right. I haven't received it for this month yet."

After paying for this month's lodgings, including meals, I felt like I've finally paid for the rest of the year.

"Amanda-san, thank you for all your help. I'll be in your care next year."

"You're the one who is taking care of us. Kent, please protect Volzard next year as well."

"Yes, I will use all the power of me and my genus to protect our city."

"It's been a difficult year for Kent, and it may have been better not to come to this world, but I am grateful to the Princess of Resenburg for summoning you, Kent."

"That's right. Even now, I think it's good that I was summoned. If I had stayed in Japan like that, I would have remained a useless child, I feel like I would have become irresponsible and unable to become independent due to the collapse of my family. Right now, it's the power I've been given, but I've been able to help everyone a little bit, so I want to grow up step by step so that I can protect the people who are important to me."

"From my point of view, it looks like you're trying to become an adult too quickly, but Kent will be fine. When you're lost or in trouble, don't hesitate to rely on the adults around you."

"Yes, I will do so."

With the New Year approaching, Seraphima would come to Volzard in a little while.

Even if the formal marriage came first, it would be impossible to let Seraphima alone live in the Guest House.

In that case, Yuika, Manon, Riche, and I should move into the Guest House together.

It wouldn't be long before I started lodging there.

I wouldn't say it out loud, but Amanda-san should know.

Of course, since I would continue to live in Volzard, I could come visit anytime.

However, there was no doubt that our relationship would be a little different than before.

I tasted the last boarding house meal of the year with a little sorrow.
