Chapter rb-2: royal battle 2

The royal capital battle 2

Author note: Shun's point of view.

「Sensei. I will still go and save Nii-sama」

Sensei bites her lips to my determined voice.

Surely, Sensei understands that I won't draw back.

「Will you go, no matter what?」

「Yes」

「I see. I will also follow」

「Sensei, this is my problem. There's no need for Sensei to follow me forcibly」

「I can't let Shun-kun go there alone」

「It's not alone. Of course I will also go」

「Katia, but」

「Please let me go. Even though I was manipulated, I must at least settle the things that I have caused」

The same color of determination as me can be seen in Katia's eyes.

In other words, she don't intend to draw back.

「I understand. But, don't force yourself, okay?」

「Yes」

She agrees obediently.

But, the words can't be trusted in any way.

The Katia now has the atmosphere that seems to be do reckless things calmly.

「If Shun-kun is going, of course I will also go」

「Hyrinth-san」

[Don't worry, I will protect Jou-chan]

Hyrinth-san who talks to me with Telepathy.

If that's the case, I'm relieved.

「Well then, what to do about the strategy?」

「Defeat Yuugo. That's the only one」

「That's impossible」

Sensei's words.

「Yuugo-kun, no, Yuugo have already transferred to Rengzant Empire. Together with Sue-chan」

「What!?」

「Shun, you did acquire the Space Magic, right? What's the level?」

「It's useless. The level rise of Space Magic is slow, so it's only 3. I can't learn Transfer just by training it from now」

In the royal castle of Anareich Kingdom, there's a thing called transfer circle that goes directly to the Kasanagara continent, but even if it's used, there's still a distance to the Rengzant Empire.

No matter how we struggle, it's impossible to reach the Rengzant Empire before Nii-sama's execution.

「So, they escaped, huh?」

「Yes. That's why, it's impossible to kill Yuugo」

「Kill?」

I feel shaken to Sensei's words.

「Shun-kun, don't tell me you intend to let Yuugo who caused this situation to live?」

「No, but」

「Shun-kun. I regret that I only deprive his skill and status at that time. If only I care for him after that, it might not become like this. However, if I kill him at that time, this kind of thing will never happen」

I shivered to the glitter of Sensei's gloomy eyes.

Sensei is serious.

She seriously thinks of killing Yuugo.

Even I can't forgive Yuugo.

Father was killed, Sue and many people are manipulated.

There's no way that I can forgive him.

But, I never thought of killing him.

I can't think of it.

Even if it becomes like this, I'm still hesitating to kill a person.

「Anyway, killing Yuugo comes after we saved Leston-kun. Let's think of other plans」

Everyone frown to my words.

「Shun, that's impossible」

「Why is it?」

「Although I don't know how many people have been caught in this matter, I'm sure that it's a large number of people. We don't have the composure to escape while guarding them」

「But」

「Shun, I agree with Hyrinth-san」

「Katia」

「Shun, we are not gods. There are things that are possible and impossible. Even if you save everything, the damage will only enlarge」

When I try to object Katia's words, I notice that her hands are grasped tightly.

That's right.

Katia didn't talk about how are her parents and the people of the Duke house at all.

From Katia's appearance, I can somehow guess it.

But, she never say to save them.

Katia has gave up to save her parents.

I'm sure that she wants to save them.

「I understand. The one we will be rescuing this time is only Leston-niisama」

I said it with heartbroken thoughts.

Even I'm worried about what happened to Clevea after that.

I want to save Sue and the other brainwashed people.

But, that can't be done.

I don't have the power to do it.

「It's favorable that Yuugo is not there. But, Shun. Use "Appraisal" frequently just in case. He returned with Transfer, so that means that he might return with Transfer. It might become a situation where someone of us has been brainwashed before we know」

「Ah. That's right」

「Sensei. Because it's like that, please accept Shun's appraisal」

Katia's sharp words.

I see, so Katia's aim is this.

Sensei's expression changes.

「What's wrong? If you never did anything guilty, it should be fine to accept the appraisal. Or, is there something that must not be seen?」

「That's...」

「Sensei. If you don't accept Shun's appraisal here, I can't take actions with you」

After Sensei kept silent for a while to Katia's words, she nodded without power.

「Go ahead」

I activate "Appraisal" to Sensei's words.

High status.

High level skills.

Because I have expected it, I don't feel surprised.

And, the thing that Sensei wanted to conceal.

「Don't worry. There's no suspicious point in Sensei's status」

「Is that so. If Shun says so, I will believe. Sensei, I'm sorry for doubting you」

「N-No. It's all right」

Sensei flustered to the bowing Katia.

[Why?]

[What do you mean?]

I play dumb to Sensei's question in Telepathy.

[You should understand what I mean]

[I have expected it]

That's right.

I have expected it.

In Sensei's skill, there's "Taboo".

[Shun-kun, don't tell me, you...]

I ignore Sensei's Telepathy on purpose.

What I have to think now is how to infiltrate into the place where Nii-sama is caught.
