Finally, we passed that damn filler.

---

I told the pirate crew about the plan.
Barbarossa clearly feels down when he heard that we’re going to fly in the sky. His trauma resurfaced.

「Leave the ocean to us! Please beat those Empire guys in our stead」

Then I told them that I’m returning to the mansion to prepare for tomorrow’s strategy.
They were watching us go until we disappeared from their sight.
I also thought that this strategy should be done safely for their sake.
Let’s keep the casualties to a minimum.

For now, I’ll set these skills. Besides the usual stuff, these can increase our odds to capture enemy troops.

Passive Skills:
– MP Auto-Recovery (M)
– HP/MP Auto-Recovery (M)
– Physical Ability Up (XL)
– Increased Close Combat Capability (L)
– Increased Perception Ability (L)
– Increased Trap Detection (L)
– Blowback Negation

Active Skills:
– Stun Bolt
– Silent Strike
– Strike of the Merciful

I added these because I kept being blown away when fighting the Leviathan.
I had to set these kinds of status abnormalities negation skill one by one.
Even though I can’t die, I don’t want to keep rolling endlessly.

I also choose a trap detection skill because I assume the enemy would place some traps.
Any soldier would definitely die if they caught on a land-mine or C4.

【Stun Bolt】 gives my attack some paralysis abilities. 【Strike of the Merciful】 and 【Silent Strike】 will be a combo that can suppress anyone without sound. I’ll make sure not to break their necks.

 

I also made some items yesterday.
Potions and MP potions were stocked in 『The Room』 even though some of them had been taken.
Since the materials are medicinal plants and herbs, I bought them from nearby stores.

I made 99 of both HP Potion and MP Potion and handed some to Adelle and Yoko.

「He can practically do everything and good at cooking, I am wondering what should I do as his wife」
「Then you should do “it”. fufufu♪」

Yoko whispered it happily to Adelle.
Adelle who heard it blushed and nodded.
I have a guess on what were they talking about, but I won’t say anything unnecessary.
The two fiancées became conscious of being women… I am desperately trying to restrain myself because of the war.
Both of us understood it so I won’t talk about it.

Still, I don’t want them to worry, so I kissed both of them before going to the strategy.
The 3 of us blushed red.
Even though it looked like I was triggering a death flag, I don’t need to worry because of 【Invincibility】.

 

There’s no change in my camouflage gear and my GM equipment.
After that, we have to proceed with the strategy.

 

 

 

Operation Day.
Adelle and I flew with 【Wing】 while the Prince brought his dragon, who he had raised from a baby, and headed out to the garrison.
Yoko, who is weak in the morning, and Jirou supported the prince on the dragon.
Currently, Jirou looked like a regular soldier.

「Are you fine with looking like that?」

「Yeah, this is one of my ninjutsu so it’s okay. If I cancel itー」

Jirou released his ninjutsu and turned into a black ninja.
Looks like it was one of the superior ninja equipment from 『Sengoku Samurai Senki』.
Using ninjutsu as a disguise is easier and more convenient than my camouflage gear.
There’s a stealth skill that makes me transparent but I was found out easily when I did that.
I’m sure there’s a considerable amount of skill needed to use it.

We decided to have a break mid-travel.
Of course, we are resting inside 『The Room』.

「This is indeed convenient… There’s no need to be alert and there’s plenty of water and food. A great sofa to take a nap… Yoko-dono, please lend it to me a bit…」
「No! Even though you’re the Prince, still no!」

My soon-to-be second wife is protecting her idiot sofa from the Prince.
He seemed to be sinking and relaxed.

The flying dragon can’t enter 『The Room』, but it happily started to munch on some buffalo meat given as a bribe. Even though it looked violent, watching it eat is quite fun.

After a good meal and rest, we continued our travel in the morning. We arrived at the garrison front before the evening of the second day as scheduled.
The soldiers greeted us as the dragon landed.
A soldier with a fine armor, probably the captain, came to the front.

「Prince, Jirou-dono, welcome to the front-line. And I had heard from telepathic communication, the Hero of the Blue Sea, Baronet Masaki-dono, Crimson Princess Knight, Adelhide-sama, and the second lady Yoko」

「Very well. Please tell us about the current situation immediately」

「Yes sir!」

The telepathic communication in this world can cover areas to some extent, but mages can fly to pass the message to a long distance.
Still, it’s impossible to fly so far away from the kingdom in one go, therefore some mages were deployed in villages and towns to help relay the message.
This kind of communication infrastructure seemed to be used in every country.

 

The garrison was filled with injured people, almost everyone had injuries in their arms, shoulders, or legs.

「There are so many injured people that couldn’t be treated in time… and our medicine is lacking」

The prince sighed when hearing the report. It turns out running out of medicine will make a big impact on future strategies.
I think it’s fine to use healing magic for this. I’ll offer as much potion as possible.

「How many injured people right now?」

「Including the severely injured people, there are about 80 people… But if it stays like this, more people would die from tetanus」

「Is that so… Please show me to the injured people. I will heal them」

「I understand. Please, this way」

The mana would be recovered so it’s fine to heal people.
The field hospital was filled with the smell of blood, sweat, and other various scents.
I felt sick for a moment but I managed to endure it. A man was bleeding with a cut on his body, more or less resistant to what he looked in front of him.

Everyone was focusing on me, some of them lost their limbs.
I move to the center of the field hospital and put all people in my casting range.

【All Heal】

This time I used a strong image, I tried to regenerate their limbs.
Almost everyone was gravely injured so I spare no expense on their recovery.

「O…oooh! My wounds!」「M-my arm… Oi! Your leg too!」
「I… It moves… I can walk!」

Everyone was surprised at their healing and raised cheers.
However, I used more MP than I predicted and fell on my knees. My consciousness isー

「Gu…」

「Masaki! Are you alright?」

「Adelle… MP potion…」

「Please wait a moment!」

Adelle passed the MP potion and my mind starting to clear up.
That was dangerous. I never thought the mana cost would be so expensive.
This is certainly one of few things that must be used sparingly in this world. I must be more careful.

「Sorry… Thanks for saving me」

「Masaki can even use healing magic? bringing you here was worth it」

「It’s hard to use because the mana cost is too expensive. But this would be fine」

My legs were still weak and I need Adelle to support me to be able to stand.
Yoko looked worried about me.
Making 2 beautiful wives worry is a bad thing to do, but it certainly didn’t feel bad.
I don’t know why, but suddenly I found the situation strange.

「There are many injured people… There are less dead than I thought?」

「Yes. Perhaps… Perhaps the 『Sniper Princess』 did it intentionally…」

Intentionally?
There are several things that came into my mind, but probably she intended to exhaust our resources.
There’s limit on the number of recovery items.
If you keep doing it, the garrison will be overflowed with injured people and infectious diseases will spread.
That would be the end of the garrison. We would have no choice but to abandon it.

And the other thing… She probably doesn’t want to kill anyone.
It’s a mission, so she had to shoot. However, she doesn’t want to kill.
It’s probably because she was bound to an enslavement collar.
Even if she was bound by enslavement, she tried not to kill without going against the order.
Jirou said that the punishment of interfering with the order would end with severe pain, but not lethal.
If we can remove the collar… maybe…

 

「…ki」

But is it worth trying?

「Masaki, what’s wrong? You’re frozen there, are you thinking about something?」

Adelle was looking into my face. It seemed that I was too quiet.

「Yeah, A bit. I want to have a discussion. Prince, is there any place without people?」

「A discussion? Very well then. I think we can use the operations headquarters」

「Then let’s go there」

---

 

I’m busy so no game.

RAW: http://ncode.syosetu.com/n6073cm/23/

No, I’m not dead yet!

Please join the discord so you will know when I don’t translate. I always translate on my weekend, but I will always tell people on discord when something happened.

Anyway, it’s the extra chapter so no game this time.

---

 
「I’m so glad they don’t change at all… Even though the shopkeeper caught her age, I’m glad she’s still fine and lively」

The clothes store was organized neatly and the old man inside greeted us. They commented 「Heidi-chan got really pretty…」 and such.

Heidi was Adelle’s old name, it seemed that she was called like that a lot when she was a child.
She had abandoned that “cute” name ever since she entered the Chivalric Order, therefore she’s now called “Adelle” by everyone.

「Can I call you Heidi too?」

「P-please stop it… it’s embarrassing…」

She was blushing red and rejected me. Ah well, I’m also used to calling her Adelle so even I find it odd if I started calling her Heidi. But I think I’ll call her Heidi to tease her when I feel like it.
Yeah it might be fun, she’s cute when she’s embarrassed.

 

「It’s nice to hear that they can fix Masaki’s suit. It’s an important outfit, isn’t it?」

「Yup. It’s a memorable suit. Even though there’s not much opportunity to wear it, I still want it to be fixed. Even just for display…」

They said that they need some time to repair the suit, so we are going to have a slightly-early lunch.

My suit is not common in this world, so it takes some time and effort to repair, but he said that it’s still manageable. Also, they asked if they can make some blueprint so I said「I don’t mind. 」 If the suit is mass-produced, nobles and merchants are likely to buy it. Before long, like in the previous world, everyone will rush to work in suits… I don’t really want to see that happen in a fantasy world…

 

Appetizing fragrances filled the air as I chatted with Adelle and Yoko. Is that fish? I could hear the sound of sizzling meat. The sound and the scent came from the street ahead.
But why can I smell the burning shoyu from afar?

 

When we arrive, it looked strangely like Japanese style. A lot of stalls were lined up including yakitori, fried potato, ikayaki, and takoyaki.

But why here?

The smell certainly builds my appetite, but I can’t have 2 women eat from food stalls in this situation. Yoko stared hungrily at the ikayaki, so let’s quickly enter this restaurant.

 

The restaurant’s interior was modern and decorated beautifully. Looking around the customers, there are some people who wear clothes like aristocrats, so they must have served delicious food with reasonable price.

It was certainly a good restaurant.

Since we’re in a restaurant, of course I will order a hamburger steak. Adelle ordered some wine and white fish meunière. Yoko ordered a mixed fry.

Yoko almost ordered beer in everyone’s stead, but we managed to stop her. Well, I can’t deny that the atmosphere is suitable for some beer.

 

The food was delicious, it was obvious why this restaurant is popular. I asked the waiter about the shops around here, turns out Jirou is the one who taught them how to make the dishes. He wanted to eat the food in his memories again, so he recreated the ones he could remember and the knowledge spread throughout the years.

I’m very thankful for it.
Even the merchants, chefs, and farmers can feel the benefit.
(TL: need help with this その時に地方で貴族をしていた奥さんを見初め、結婚したのはこの辺りではよく知られてるらしい。)

 

 

「Fuu… It was delicious」
「I know, right? It’s as good as Masaki’s food. I’d like to come back again」
「I want to drink beer next time」

Don’t ruin the moment, Yoko.

To be honest, I don’t know why people like to drink beer, but I can still drink if it’s necessary. Since there is ramen, I’m planning to go eat there at night. I can’t imagine the struggle Jirou experienced when he developed ramen.

I thanked him from the bottom of my heart.

 

***

 

「Thank you for your patronage…」

We bought some crepes at a stall as we walked around aimlessly. Since the country is in a state of war, there are many soldiers and mercenaries stationed here and there, but it doesn’t stop people from enjoying their peaceful life.

 

「muu… I thought eating while walking is a bad manner…」
「But it tastes good, right?」
「It’s a bit different from the desserts that I used to eat… but yes! It’s delicious!」

The delicious crepe layer complements the sweet fruit and fresh cream. I don’t know the name of the fruit, but who cares? It’s still delicious. While finishing the crepe, we walked to a park located ahead of us to rest.

 

Suddenly, 4 men showed up and walked towards us. It’s troublesome to get involved, so I grabbed the girls’ hands and walked away…

 

「heey, pretty neechans, Why don’t you play with us?」
「Yes yes. Just leave that disgusting guy. Let’s go to a nice place together」

(ED: Here comes the template morons)
Uwaa… Text-book examples of street bullies.
They’re actually quite amazing if you look at them from really far away.

Ignore and move on.

 

 

「Oi! Where the fuck are you going with the ladies!」
「I will fucking kill you! Leave the girls to us and disappear!」

When I showed that I was reaching my sword on my waist, Adelle and Yoko had a sharp expression, ready to wreak havoc.

 

Oy, mind your clothes…
I’ll make the first move.

Using my sword sheath, I swung it towards one of them. The man couldn’t handle the momentum and fell to the ground after dancing in the air. Dumbfounded by the sudden event, I decided to use the opportunity to beat the rest of them. I hit the nearest guy on his chin. I think he fainted?

 

「F…fucー! Kick his ass!」

I get closer to the nearest one and threw him to the ground. I haven’t used aikido for a while, but thanks to 【Physical Ability Up】it was easy to use. I can even practice my counter in this situation. Will you be my practice partner?

 

「Masaki! He has a knife!」

Adelle warns me as the man aimed a knife towards me. Too slow. I grabbed his arm and used kotegaeshi to throw him to the ground. He hit his head and fainted.

Oh no, did he die? …Good, still alive.

(TL: kotegaeshi tutorial. It looks painful…)

 

「Beating 4 people in a flash… I don’t even have time to act」

「Both of you are dressed up, so just act ladylike for today. At least let me guard you ladies, sometimes」

Even though it sounded cool, I still feel embarrassed inside. Both of them smiled and blushed a bit. A guard heard a noise and running over here. It would be better to leave this matter to others.

 

When I explained the situation to the guards, it seemed that these guys are repeat offenders with a long list of committed crimes, therefore they are going to be put into jail. In addition, they are going to be banished from mercenary guilds in various countries.

They reap what they sow so I don’t have any sympathy for them.

 

Although there are little incidents, we decided to relax in the park for a while.
The park is wide. There’s a shallow pond in the middle where some kids can be seen playing and splashing water. There are parents and children, as well as mercenaries who took a break. There’s a soldier sleeping under the shade of a tree. Is he skipping work?

There’s a bench, but we decided to take a seat from the item box and placed it under the shade of a tree.

 

「N〜〜 relaxing in the house is good, but the be able to relax outside is better… this world’s air is so fresh and pure」
「Is the air from Masaki’s world that bad?」

「Oh right… There are exhaust fumes all oveー
Well, you won’t understand from that word alone. Things in my world work differently from the magic in this world. I can brighten the room and warm my food with a single button. A room like 『The Room』 can be found everywhere」

Well, having a coffeemaker and beer server in the same room is abnormal. We still don’t know how the mechanisms work. Even if we can make it, I would never mass produce it. The price crash of everything would be terrible.

It’s best to give them away to accomplished individuals.

 

 

「That’s the price when you pollute the nature. It causes diseases and destroys nature. It’s probably similar to a mage disaster that we can have here…」

「It’s similar like a mage disaster in our world. There must be similar things in all world」

「I don’t know anything about mage disasters, but I assume they’re just as bad. after watching with painful eyes, we are currently moving towards regaining nature. People do it so every country can access pure water and air again」

Still, there are countries that continue push forward the development by ignoring nature. But we are still doing our best.

 

「Hey Masaki. Do you want to return to your world?」

「I haven’t thought about it… Honestly speaking, I don’t know」

「You don’t know?」

「Yeah, there are some people and friends who took care of me in that world, so I want to return. But I don’t know how to go back. Meanwhile, there are people who took care of me in this world and there are things I have to do in this world. I don’t know the answer until the time comes」

「Is… is that so…」

「In addition… well… I got engaged with 2 people here… If I took someone’s hands, I’m responsible for it. I… want to hear it directly from the two of you. Why do you accept me as your fiancée?」

 

I’ve always wanted to hear it since a long long time ago. Even if I could leave this world, there are some troubles back in my previous world. I was dating for quite a time but we broke up before I could propose to her.

The reason is 「Even though we’re dating, but to see a future of marriage is kind of…」 and such. I thought that they would understand my job as a GM, one way or another.

That’s why I wish to know what they think about the marriage.

 

「ah… umm…… I don’t know why you risked yourself and offered your blood to me…… and… I don’t know why you are so worried about me and have helped me until I was completely cured. Despite me being a vampire… No, I am glad Masaki has treated me as an equal. It was during Leviathan when I realized that I consciously look at you as a male… I… I realized I fell in love with you… aaaaaaaa…」

Adelle was covering her face but her face was red ear to ear. Now that I heard it and feel embarrassed myself, I was pleased that I earned some favor.

「I… Thank you…」

「Even though I don’t have a proper reason like Adelle… Probably love at first sight? I don’t know because I have never fallen in love… but it’s true that it’s fun to hang around you, Masaki. Sorry, I can’t bring you proper answer」

「I understand. You don’t have to apologize. I was the one who suddenly asked that two become my fiancées. It would be a lie if I said that I’m not conscious of you as the other gender, but I regretted asking those without loving you earnestly.
Even so… after meeting you two, I slowly built up my feelings to you… This me… will you stay with me in the future?」

Perhaps I was red in embarrassment but I still look at them without looking away. I want to say it straight to their faces …

 

「Aah. Of course」

「Obviously! Even if you feel uneasy, let’s stay together from now on. I don’t have any plan to be separated from you」

「M-me too!」

Both of them tell me happily. Really… to be worthy to marry these girls… From where I came from, people would be telling me to explode.  I’m so happy.

wait… is this a proposal?
(TL: the popular term is “riajuu should just explode”)

 

I didn’t remember what happened after that but when I realized, we overslept in the park. When I woke up, it was already evening.

I might have done a bad thing, but Adelle’s lap pillow was too comfortable. Yoko was leaning on me and still asleep.

I’m not the type to take a nap. I wonder if it’s the nice weather that was making me drowsy.

 

Yoko was still in deep sleep even this late at night, so I have no choice but to carry her back to the mansion. I asked her if I should buy her something memorable but she said 「These accessories are enough. You can buy one next time…」
I don’t want to go back to work since it has finally became peaceful. Meanwhile, Yoko mumbles 「Funyaa… zzzz…」 with a sleepy voice.

Adelle and I laughed as we walked along the street where the gatekeepers wearing white and black armor costumes can be seen.

---

 

Several days passed since it was announced Adelle and Yoko became my fiancées.

 

At first, there were few nobles and merchants who were trying to crash the front gate, but as soon as 2 pirate crew members were stationed as gatekeepers, they stopped coming. I gave them strong equipment to begin with and they wore black and white costume armor, so they must have looked really intimidating. After that, I heard some rumors about me being protected by black and white knights, even though the people inside the armor are still pirates.

Apart from concealing the real equipment, this costume can also be used for fashion. Since the defensive power depended on the equipment, it’s a convenient substitute that doesn’t weigh at all. When I passed it around, they treated it like some sort of Magic Artifact.

 

The costume was quite popular among the Magic Artifact guild. Since I had a few more, I’m considering lending some costumes to the Kingdom’s Magic Artifact Guild so they can be mass produced. If they succeeded, I’m going to take a percentage of the sales. Even though the performance is good, some of them don’t look really pleasing so it made me hesitate to use them in this world unless I have to.

But this is an example of that sort of day.

 

Roxas, who was off-duty, was helping Adelle, Yoko, and I arranging the contents of the item box inside the 【Room】.

 

There are some things that I got from paid-gacha lottery.

 

There are many things that I pulled out, like some clothes and a swimsuー
I hurriedly shove it back in but Yoko snatched it from my hand.

 

「Masaki, why do you have things like this?」

「Umm… That was a reward from a lottery. I swear I don’t have that kind of hobby!」

「If you indeed have this kind of hobby, I’d like you to stop right now. Even so, for you to have something like this…」

Adelle said so with a school swimsuit in her hands. It have some beneficial effect if you wear it, so please don’t hold it like that…

I’m a healthy man who almost hit 30 years old…

 

Various kinds of men clothes, women clothes, and armors are lined up. Japanese clothes, western clothes, Chinese clothes, Western barbarian armor, and a panda costume. It looked like a costume room in a theatre.

I could see Yoko holding a costume and stood in front of a mirror. It’s a white beautiful dress, the hem of the skirt was laced beautifully. It’s not a costume that I would wear, but the price was quite expensive.

 

「This is a good one. Nee, Masaki. Why don’t we go out using the clothes here?」

「Now you mention it, we haven’t explored the kingdom at all」

Besides grocery stores and furniture shops, I didn’t go sightseeing much. It’s sunny today, and the occasion is just right.

 

「Then I’ll finish organizing the rest of them. I’m good at organizing items like this, and I don’t think I’ll get bored when I saw various clothes」

「Is that okay? Sorry for the problem, I’ll gladly take up your offeー eh? Adelle?」

I thought that I hadn’t heard Adelle for a little while. When I looked at her, she was putting a gothic dress on her body, smiling and turning around. Because she always wears formal and proper armors and clothes, perhaps she never had the opportunity to wear ordinary clothes.

Her figure when she turned around and around is lovely to watch.

 

「Oi, Adelle?」

「Hyaaa! w-what?」

 

She had a cute voice. Perhaps she was imagining herself wearing it.

…Yosh, Adelle had decided her clothes.

 

「We are going out. Adelle is wearing that one, what are you going to wear, Yoko?」

「Eh? what do youー」

「Hmm… I think I’ll pick this one after all」

「Me… wearing this…?」

I chose a dark brown suit and black and brown striped necktie.

 

「Oi! What are youー」

「I think I’ll wear this clothes when I go out for negotiations from now on. You two may use any accessories and other things from within these boxes, even without my permission. Is an hour enough for you to prepare?」

「E-eeeh!? These… a-a-accessories… I-I’m not a child anymoー」

「I think it’s alright if I apply some light makeup for you. I’ll make Adelle charming and beautiful! And that means, Adelle~ Let’s go to another room!」

「w-w-wait a minute! Yokoooo…」

 

Adelle’s resistance was in vain as Yoko dragged her out to another room… I put my hands out to reach her but…

*click*

The door was closed forcibly. The other side of the door was a “no-male-allowed” flower garden.

Since Roxas is a gentleman, I’m sure he won’t pass through that door. Even so, Yoko’s enthusiasm is quite amazing. Perhaps she likes to dress people up.

 

「Then I’ll continue sorting these items 」

「Okay. Thanks for the help. You can use these glasses to see each item’s effect, so you can separate them according to their effects」

「Understood」

I’m finally enjoying myself in a city after such a long time. Even if I know letters and numbers, I had little opportunity to shop, even though I used to like walking and shopping in the streets back in the previous world.

Since I didn’t use much money, let’s contribute to the Kingdom’s economy.

 

***

 

It’s been a while since I wore a normal suit. I used to wear suits all the time when I worked as a corporate employee, but since I was transferred to this world and thrown into prison it was quite torn quite a lot. It was a suit that a senpai bought for me. I hope I can find clothes shop that able to repair it.

 

When I looked at the clock on the status screen, it was 40 minutes since I stood waiting at the door. No baggage was brought since I have an item box. Suddenly the door clicked and Adelle and Yoko came out of the room.

Adelle was wearing a black gothic dress with a blue jewelry necklace on her neck. Next to her, Yoko was wearing the white dress she liked earlier and a long ribbon on her head. Both of them looked beautiful……

「Umm… Masaki… stop staring… please?」

「Un… It’s unexpected to be stared like that…」

Wha! N-no, I was staring at a blank space……

The two of them walked awkwardly from the door. I scratched my cheek… maybe my face turned red as well… Well, even in the previous world, it’s been a long time since I had a date… and… both of them are beauties.

「Masaki, where are we going? Even though you said “town”, the town is simply too large」

「Good point, I usually go from here to the main street, then to the bar… But I’d like to walk a little bit further elsewhere. Is that okay with you two?」

「I don’t mind. I want to look at the city leisurely after a long time too」

「I don’t have any problem with it. Oh, if there are some sweet shops on the way, I’d like us to go there」

「Since we’re planning to have lunch outside, let’s stop by there」

Even though the Kingdom’s streets is quite old, the town is well organized. There are plenty of places to eat and see. It’s about 9 o’clock but I’m looking forward it.

 

***

 

The three of us were walking through the main street. The horses were stopped near the entrance gate so the main street was kept clean. Even though I only looked at the empire from the window, I saw some dangerous scenes throughout the town.
In that respect, the kingdom was a lot safer for pedestrians to walk around.

「It reminds me of car-free roads…」

「What’s that?」

「Car? Is it some sort of car-riage? Pedestrian-oriented roads have banned them for a certain period of time」

「About that, when I was a kid, horse-drawn carriages were common on this street, but there were some dangerous situations that happened. And so, Jirou-dono had an idea to only allow them in the morning or late at night. He made a proposal to apply it.

There were some concerns from nobles and other authorities at first about the transport of goods, so they held an experiment for about a month. The number of injured people dropped significantly and it turned out the delivery of goods were never a problem to begin with. And the ones that were supposed to be delivered in the afternoon can be carried using a hand-wagon.

In case of emergency, there’s a big bell installed that will be rung to tell people to open up space so carriages can pass」

 

「But the nobles still opposing the idea for no reason, right? Why is that?」

「Umm, Some maids and butlers that come here to buy stuff now have to walk all the way here without a horse-drawn carriage. There is no reason for the nobles to oppose the danger if the danger had decreased, but it seemed that it was about time to give financial aid to the maintenance of the street」

 

Financial aid?

I don’t really want to doubt, but I wonder if there’s any noble that want to brag something like “Our house paid for this road!”. Well, if you spend money on city cleanliness and safety, your reputation would certainly rise significantly.

Well, if you spend money on city cleanliness and safety, your reputation would certainly rise significantly.

 

「It’s a good thing to be safe. Using a carriage, it won’t hurt when you hit something, but ordinary people didn’t think the same」

「「Even non-ordinary people still won’t get unscathed! You’re the weird one, Masaki!」」

The two of them said so at the same time.

desu yo ne~

(TL: Hey karuma, do you have an English equivalent of this?)
(ED: anything I can think of doesn’t make sense)

 

Since I have 【Invincibility】 I can’t be hurt even by stray bullet or surprise attack

 

 

I continued walking with the two girls for a while, but then I suddenly felt some eyes watching us. Since our costume were different from the usual, we can’t really be called 『The Hero of the Blue Sea』 and 『Crimson Princess Knight』. I felt some men were staring at me in jealousy. Sometimes I felt a glance around my back or butt. Oi! The hell is wrong with you!?

「Nn… I feel a lot of eyes on us」

「Is that so? I don’t feel much of a difference since I’m wearing normal clothes」

It is maybe because I’m starting to get used to it. For me, the gazes filled with jealousy continued to fly and I felt some stinging gazes from time to time.

The “special” gaze seemed to have disappeared. Thank goodness…

 

「Ah that’s right. Adelle, Do you know any shop that can repair clothes around here? I’d like to have some of my clothes fixed 」

「Then, there should be a good store right in this alley. I think it’s called Dave’s Sewing Store. If it still exists…」

「Is that the one? The sign is old, but the store seems to be open」

Looking further in the alley, there was a sign with a clothing symbol on it. The letter says Dave’s Sewing Store. Some clothes were lined up at the front, there’s no doubt that it’s open.

 

While praying that the owner can fix my suit, we went into the store. I really do hope it can be fixed.

「That was the day I was summoned into this world!」

It was 7th of March 2020. Even though it was past midnight, I was called into this world while I was working late. I was on my way to get something to eat when it happened.

Jirou guessed right.
But at the same time, it was hard to believe that it happened 20 years ago.

「Where should I even begin… First of all, I’m a police officer, as you can see. I was looking for missing people while following my own analysis. Have you heard about an urban legend that some people who were playing online games went missing, even the GM?」

「Ah… I remember about it. Sometimes, there were some missing person reports being emailed to our department」

「I’m the same. Although the rumor existed for several years, the numbers increased recently. In my department, I’m the only one who could grasp the concept and played around with 『Sengoku Samurai Senki』 and do some in-game research on the missing person case. Suddenly the bright room I was playing in went dark and I was sent to this world as 『Shinobi Chief』 that I played. That was 20 years ago」

「But isn’t there too much of time difference?」

「As the result of my investigations in this world, you get called into this world regardless of the day and the year you exist. This conclusion was reached from various testimonies」

「There are others like us?」

「Although we are working on different missions right now, I’ll introduce them to you later.
Let’s return to the story for now.
The country that summoned me was destroyed by the Kingdom. That country tried to take control of me, but I used my shinobi skills, created a mass confusion, escaped into a wagon, and reached this country. But until then, I had only eaten a little food and was weakened considerably, then I lost my consciousness」

「Dear father picked up the weakened Jirou. From then on, Jirou has become dear father’s closest aide」

「Yep. Exactly as the prince said. King Roland and I fought together so many times and I did my best to make him the King」

The prince didn’t seem surprised when listening to our story.
He probably heard it from Jirou before, but Yoko and Adelle could barely follow our conversation.

「Yoko, do you understand anything?」
「Not at all…」

I didn’t intend to leave them as outsiders, but it was difficult to explain.
It’s impossible to have them join the conversation if they can’t understand the content.

「I was also investigating you when I investigating missing people report in the previous world. By the way, your parents seemed to start cultivating plants using vinylhouse」
(TL: A type of greenhouse using vinyl. Look it up)

「…what about my co-workers?」

When I was reminded of my original world, I was concerned with the co-workers I left behind.

「They were really worried. They think you got caught in an accident somewhere」

「I-is that so…」

I felt bad for making them worry. But this is not a regular accident.
This is a huge accident that transported someone to a totally different world.

「And now, the reason why we talked about this. The prince was telling you about a nasty guy. That person… came from our world. An otherworlder」

「Someone from our……」

It was the worst scenario. Having someone like Jirou would be reliable as a friend, but he would make a terrible enemy.

「I don’t know the name or the face, but that person was called 『Sniper Princess』 among the enemy soldiers. She uses long range weapons such as handguns, throwing knives, handguns, machinegun, rifles… However, she became nasty when she uses her heavy ranged weapons like rocket-launchers and anti-materiel rifle. Perhaps the game she played is…」(TL: The raw says 対物ライフル – taibutsu raifuru. Based on my googling skills, Taibutsu is a sort of lens to in science stuff. I think I’ll settle with the nastiest rifle in fallout universe)

「The VR FPS online game 『Commando City』 isn’t it?」

I caught Jirou’s words.
I played the game too. The players are placed as soldiers where gunfights were spread throughout the city.

「Exactly. That person is the guardian goddess of the iron fortress」

「Is that person that strong? Even if she attacked from a long distance, we can always bombard her with magic…」

Adelle bumped a question to Jirou.
Long range magical attack can reach somewhere about 400 meters.
If I do my best, I can probably reach something 600 meters away, but the accuracy would be terrible.

「…3 km」

Jirou only muttered a single word. I understood it immediately and put my hand on my forehead in desperation.

Both Adelle and Yoko didn’t understand the words.

It’s a monster.

「What’s going on?」

「The enemy’s sniping range is 3 km. Everyone who enters that range are in grave danger. It can even hit the armor behind a strong mithril shield」

「Are you kidding me!?」

「What the hell is that!? 」

Adelle and Yoko were surprised, but it surprised me as well. That is one nasty super-long-shooting range.
I have seen it in movies where people hit a flying pilot in the sky using guns.

And now, a person with the same skill like that is presented to us as an enemy.

「In that case, I have no other choice but going there. I can’t be hurt by any ordinary attacks」

I may be pushed by the bullet’s impact, but it can’t be as bad as an attack from the Leviathan.

「Sorry for burdening you」

「Since I became a noble, my active participation in missions like this is expected. It’s normal to help」

「 I’m sorry that your first duty is a high-risk mission, but having you around when we are there will give me a peace for my mind」

Eh? Is the prince coming?
Are you coming to the frontline?

「Are you coming with us as well?」

「Isn’t that obvious? If I stay indoors, it will shrink the morale of the army. The leader must inspire people by being in the front line!」

「Please don’t step in the front line. Everything will be over if you get shot」

Jirou tried to stop our high-spirited prince. This prince is probably a muscle-brain.

「Should I go alone or going together with the others?」

「A team of few elites is a good idea. Since this time we are flying through the sky, can you and Adelle-dono take 3 people?」

「But what about the prince? Hanging for a long time is a pain even though I take it with 【Wing】…」

「Don’t worry about that because I’m a 『Dragon Knight』, 《Dragner》. I have my own dragon. 3 people can ride it so you can rest assured」

Since he has his own dragon, then it’s fine.
I can do something about it, but I have some tricks that I don’t want to show here.

「Since Adelle is coming… How about Yoko? Barbarossa hates the sky and Roxas is currently serving the marines」

Roxas seemed to be busy as the “executive chef” for the marines.
Instead of swinging his sword, he turned it into a portable stove.
My rare sword Flame Blade might cry, I don’t really mind as long as he uses it effectively.

「It’s alright. I’m fine. I can use golems to flood the enemies」

「Then it’s been decided. I’ll take Yoko and Jirou with my flying dragon. The mission will start in morning the day after tomorrow. Don’t forget your own preparation」

「Very well then. Let’s finish this mission」

We nod after prince’s words and prepare for the mission the day after tomorrow.

The next few days were quite a pain.

When I visited Paddle in the tavern inn, they were having a party.
Marines and pirates were eating and drinking shoulder to shoulder
Apparently, the Marines wanted to repay their gratitude by holding a banquet for us.

When both Adelle and I arrived at the bar and told them that we got noble ranks and a mansion, the party grew even larger.
The inn’s owner also greeted us in high spirits.

「The Hero of the Blue Sea has come to my inn! Let’s throw a huge party! Oi, bring out more food and sake to serve!!」

When I told my men and the marines that I became the kingdom’s official pirate, all of them were surprised but they quickly shook hands and hugged each other.

「That’s right that’s right! If there are some bastard pirates, there must be some good ones like you guys! Let’s do our best to protect the kingdom from now on!」
「Ou! Never expected Big Boss to join the aristocracy, Big Boss’ true power is truly ridiculous! We are asking for your support as well, fellow brothers in arms!」

Barbarossa responded to a veteran with a lot of battle scars.
Both of them have beer mugs in one hand and other’s shoulder in the other.
The men of the sea indeed get along great with each other. It’s nice to build a good relationship.

And in the morning, most of them were completely useless because of their hangovers.

***

The next day, I visited the house that Earl Allan mentioned… but it’s a ridiculous mansion.
It was at the corner of the nobles residential area, but it has a fountain and a big garden. It was an undeniably beautiful mansion.

「It’s obviously not a house…」

The mansion I imagined is more normal… Just regular big house with a garden. However, what I get is a millionaire mansion like those I used to see on TV.

「This used to be where His Majesty’s younger brother lived… where Adelhide’s father lived…」
「My father’s…」

It seems nobility are fussy about their manors, and there’s a bunch of people who want such extravagant mansion in spite of becoming nobles not too long ago. (TL: Thanks, Tobikage)
This mansion was previously owned by Adelhide’s father.
Since the royal palace maintained it, and the daughter of the previous owner works for me, the other nobles won’t say a word if his majesty gave this mansion to me as a reward for protecting the kingdom. (TL: taking some liberty here. Giving more rational excuse)

Everyone in my pirate group were given good vacant houses near the sea and lived there. It seems they already made friends with the neighbors and often go out drinking and training.

After a few days of moving and cleaning, right now Claudia, Adelle, and I were staying at Adelle’s father’s mansion…

Well, now it’s my mansion, so I’m relaxing at the Toudou residence after a long time.

The reason why there are 2 women at my house is easy.
Since I established my noble status, other nobles and merchants quickly offered their daughters or sisters either as a bride or a concubine.

I don’t have any harem desire in particular. Just one wife is hard enough to handle, what are you going to do with multiple of them?
The main factor was my age. I’m now 28 years old.
They said that I’m too late for marriage in this world.

Earl Allan said something along the line Why don’t you just marry the 2 woman around you?

I almost spit out my coffee.

In this world, polygamy is common and Earl Allan himself has 4 wives.
While I was enduring the torture as I refused wife offer and mistress offer, I was being suspected of having a single-digit-aged girl fetish or over-50-year-old woman fetish.

The damage was real.
My heart started wavering.

Before some rumors about me being homosexual started to spread, I tried asking the girls for help.

「Well, right now we’re at war with the empire. I haven’t been thinking about marriage at all, but…」
「So which one of us will be the wife or the mistress?」
「Ah. I’ll be glad even if you just pretend to be my wife」

It’s only been a couple of weeks since we met. Far from marriage, we haven’t even gone on date yet.
Both of them think for a while… their faces are serious.

「Well… I… personally… don’t mind…」
「Eh? Pretending to be my wife?」
「No, not that. Not pretending but being married for real…」

Adelle blushed and nodded.
Marrying Adelle for real…

「Declaring to be a first wife eh… Then I don’t mind being the second wife. I didn’t say anything but my parents are nobles in the Yamato Country, so it should be fine」
「Et tu, Brutus!!?」
「Who the hell is Brutus?」

(ED: The “et tu, Brute” were Julius Caesar’s last words as Brutus/Brute stabbed Caesar and finished him)

「That’s not important. But this is the first time I’ve heard that you’re a noble」
「But… The noble obligations are troublesome, that’s why I ran away from home. So I think it’s nice to be able to settle down in a place like here」
「Is… Is that so…」

Anyway, Claudia Fyura is just a fake name, and her real name is Yoko Izanami.
It seemed like Yamato Country is a maritime nation who has been secluding themselves until recently.

Since she said I can call her with either name, I decided to call her with her original name.
She would blush and turn away whenever I called her Yoko.
I think she looked cute when she blushed when called with her long-abandoned name without honorifics.

I somehow got an OK from these two.
Even though I felt overwhelmed, it also didn’t feel realistic… right now, I have 2 beauties as brides.
It would be a path leading to a bad end in the real world… but I want to make these two as happy as I can.
I imagined a happy future but quickly change it.

「Thank you, both of you. But right now… can we keep it as… fiancée? Since you know… We are currently at war… I want the proper ceremony after it becomes peaceful」
「You have a point… That’s not a bad idea」
「It’s not like I don’t want to marry immediately, but I don’t mind it either」

Both of them agreed. I know it seemed that I was leaving them hanging… But we have a war to finish.

For the sake of these two.

When I announced my fiancée around the neighborhood, people stopped pushing marriage proposals onto me.
I also refused anyone who wanted to join my pirate crew, since my current quantity and quality are enough.
As a baronet, my military strength is strong enough and I’m quite strong myself.

So now, I’m living in the mansion with Adelle and Claudia (Yoko) as my fiancées.
Once you become a noble, there are restrictions to some extent.
Since we’re at war, we need to contribute in making strategies and be prepared to move immediately.

Everyone in the pirate group were assisting with a sea patrol task.
It seemed our Roxas will help us bond with the marines by cooking delicious food on the marine ship. 『Catching them by their stomach』

Even though we don’t spend time together as much as before, I still contact them in the morning and evening.
Even like this, I’m still the Big Boss.
Minor details like this are important as well.

***

Calming myself down to a certain extent, in the Toudou Residence, we are now waiting for a visitor.

「I made some coffee. This magic artifact called 【Coffee Maker】 is sure useful」
「To be frank, I didn’t think that it would really be that useful」
「Since coffee can be drunk anywhere in the Kingdom… but I can only drink cold beer here and I think this is amazing!」
「Don’t you dare to drink any alcohol. The prince is coming」
「I know! I know!」

Today, the prince is visiting. Yesterday, a butler from the royal palace came to announce that the prince is coming.

「But what does the prince want to talk about?」
「That prince is someone who likes to stand at the frontline. It might be some sort of strategy meeting」
「Since naval combat is completely dominated by Masaki, maybe this time we will talk about land combat」

The sea has settled quite a bit since then.
The Empire’s ships were reduced significantly so that even the neighboring countries can also deal with them.

When I checked the 【Map】, I could see 2 people passing through the gate and heading to the entrance.
Let’s see who they are… It’s the prince… but who is the one next to… oh, it’s Jirou.

Jirou the Shinobi looked like any ordinary soldier.
His face blended in with the people around him… such that only a vague impression was left. (TL: Thanks, elephantNo5)
The earl used up all his sober mind to tell me that information.

When I saw the two, I brought both Adelle and Yoko to greet them at the entrance.
The sound of knocking could be heard and Adelle opened the door.

「Welcome, Prince Leon. Jirou-dono. We were waiting for you」
「Baronet Masaki, you seem to be fine. You survived the flooding marriage proposal from the nobles and the merchants」
「Yes, since I took both of them as my fiancées, everything has calmed down. We will hold the ceremony after the war has ended」
「Is that so? Once the war with the empire has ended, this continent will be a lot more peaceful. And our conversation today will take us closer to that day」

So it is a strategy meeting. I’m the same. I don’t want to prolong the war any longer. There’s nothing better but ending it as soon as possible.

「I understand. I’ll show you to the guest room」

***

「So this is the magic called【Room】. It sure looks amazing」

Prince Leon is Adelle’s older brother, so he’s quite trustworthy. That’s why I decided to tell him about the 【Room】.

「The taste of good old coffee… I never thought that I could enjoy this taste again」

Jirou was deeply impressed with the taste of coffee from the coffee maker, it was the first time he experienced the taste again after such a long time. (TL: coffee from coffee maker is not the same as the manually grinded one, but I prefer the manual grind)

「I’ll treat you whenever I can. There’s also a beer tap so you can enjoy a cold beer」
「Eeeh!! Please do!」

Jirou leaned forward on the table.
Of course, you can drink beer in this world, but it’s lukewarm.
As both of Jirou and I agreed, beer is best served cold.

「Jirou, does a cold beer taste that good?」
「Yes Sir! I am sure the prince would like it as well!」
「I see. Even so, I’d like to finish this matter first. Are you fine with it?」
「How thoughtless of me… I apologize for my misbehavior」

I’ll treat the prince and Jirou some beer and karaage later, maybe I’ll prepare some fried fish as well.
Let’s add the devilish combo into the prince’s menu!

「Masaki, about my business here. I’d like you to participate in the operation to recapture a fort from the Empire sometime soon」
「Recapturing a fort… What is my role in the operation?」
「There’s a nasty person in the fort. I’d like you to attack and attract his attention. You were not even fazed when fighting the Leviathan, therefore, dear father had recommended you for this task. So, can you do it?」
「A decoy right? I think I suit that role well. But who is this nasty person?」

Counter-measures will change depending on the enemy.
It’s better to gather information in advance.

「Let me continue first. There are things that I wanted to tell Masaki-dono as well. Masaki-dono… no… The 『Game Master』 of Britannia Online, Toudou Masaki」

「!?」

Jirou dropped the bomb.
I never tell anyone about the name of the MMO I was worked as Game Master.
But this person in front of me knows it.
If this information spread, there’s a high chance that they can guess the abilities that I kept hidden.

I regret not being careful and watched this person in maximum vigilance.
The air instantly turned heavy, it was a sign of a fight.
Both Adelle, Yoko, and the prince were puzzled at the unexpected change in the air and couldn’t move.
But Jirou broke the heavy air.

「Please don’t be so cautious. I guess I need to introduce myself once more」

Jirou presented a dark brown notebook. The book looked like deteriorated after a long period of time.
Inside the bottom frame was an emblem shining gold, it was covered with a vinyl and some familiar words were written there.

「National Police AgencyーLife Safety Division. Chief of Missing People Countermeasure Department. Police Department. Tanaka Jirou… That’s my position 20 years ago. In search for the missing person since 7 March 2020, Masaki Toudou-san」
