No Fatigue 70. Previous Life Cheat Countermeasure
The PDF version of You Think It’s Fine to Just Summon Me to Another World? Eh? is about 80% complete. I will post it as soon as I finished edit it.
Looking back, my translations were horrible… (it’s still horrible though)
Enjoy chapter 70
Since it’s quite important, I gathered everyone in the courtyard.
While waiting for Melby to call everyone out, I made some pot with 【Earth Spirit Magic】 as target practice.
「This is amazing! These can be sold for money! The only thing we need to do is some glaze and bake them!」
Alfred-tousan seem to take some interest in the pots.
Is the process really that simple?
As everyone gathered, I made a wall about 2 meters high and 3 meters wide at the end of the courtyard. Then I made a stand and arrange the pots on them.
「It’s going to make a loud sound, will it bother the neighbors? 」
「I don’t know about the neighbors, but the guards may come if they heard loud noises」
「In that case, can you silence it with 【Wind Magic】?」
Julia-kaasan covered the courtyard with her 【Wind Magic】.
Hee, so this will prevent the sound from leaking… I’ll remember it.
「Jaa, I’ll start」
I hold the handgun and shoot a pot about 10 meters away.
The pot shattered with a loud sound.
Just like before, I shoot the other 2 pots and they shattered as well.
「ーAnd that’s how you use a gun」
When I looked back, everyone was looking at the broken pots in disbelief, all of them are dumbfounded.
「Wait a second, that little gun, how did you make the lead ball fly? I can’t see the ball at all」
(TL: Before you lynch me, that world don’t know anything about gun, of course they don’t know the word bullet)
Moria said that in shock.
Even Moria who had 【Discern】 couldn’t see the bullets. As for me, it was barely visible. Moria’s 【Discern】 is level 3, whilst mine is level 5. I think to be able to see the bullet, you need at least level 4. Maybe level 5 if you’re really careful.
(TL: 【見切り】 maybe discern. Maybe not)
「Moreover, there’s no need to pull it like a bow. Ed shoot it just by pulling the nail-like parts with his fingers. The mechanism is similar to crossbow, but crossbow needs a considerable effort and power to reload it」
Chester-niisan said so.
「Niisan, want a shot?」
「Can I?」
Niisan took the handgun.
He followed my shooting stance and held the gun towards the target pot.
Even though it was also my first time shooting a gun, I think I handled it well.
Almost as the same time as the sound *Don*, the pot shatters with a loud noise.
Chester-niisan slid his aim to the side and continued to shoot the other jar.
As expected from someone with shooting aptitude, his accuracy is amazing.
「This is…… this weapon is dreadful…」
Niisan looked at the rising smoke and muttered with a scary face.
「Does the snipers Ed was talking about use this weapon?」
「No, snipers use a more precise gun. This handgun can’t shoot far enough」
「I agree, this weapon’s range is not long enough… It will be more applicable if the range is about 5 times more」
Although it’s not detailed, 50 meters is the effective range.
Chester-niisan had figured out the range of the gun on the first look.
「Sniper seems to be able to shoot accurately from 200 meters away.
Niisan has good eyes so you should be able to do that」
It would be wonderful if I had one these on Ranzrack Fortress.
You should be able to snipe Goleth, the leader of 〈Black Wolf Fang〉, from the top of the Fortress without problem.
However, since there were HP in this world, it may be difficult to shoot Goleth down in 1 blow. Even so, Goleth won’t be able to load his spears and it will make the battle into a one-sided-massacre.
While I was thinking, Alfred-tousan took the gun from Chester-niisan and tried it.
Dad who was not good with bows had shot 1 of the 2 pots provided, but he seemed to understand the convenience of the gun.
Dad said.
「This is a terrifying weapon. It will be effective against demons, but it will be brutal against human enemies. If the enemy had something like this… I can understand why Ed is so cautious. So what are you going to do, Ed? Should we just mass produce this weapon to counter them?」
「In the worst case, that will be our only plan. But to prevent that scenario, we can monitor the material distribution for the guns and the ammunitions. I would like to build a position to investigate any abnormalities in the distribution immediately」
「That Kizaki person, is it possible that he was reincarnated in Santamana?」
「Un… That’s why, I need an information network that covers at least the major cities in the whole continent. Either way, if we try to mass produce guns, we need a lot of economic and industrial strength, so I think we need to watch over the big cities」
「Even so, assuming mass production is impossible, is it possible that the reincarnator arms his closest aides?」
「Regarding that, he needs to have some previous life’s knowledge about gun-fight」
「Can we use Chester’s troop as an experiment?」
「I see, so niisan will be the first one? ……Sorry niisan. You are involved in weird things」
「Iya, I don’t mind. In fact, I’d rather be informed in this matter since it’s important」
「Anyway niisan, I want to make a special unit armed with guns, can you gather some trustworthy prople and fit for shooting? This is to oppose the enemies forces and to identify the problems and weakness in managing guns. There are magic, skills, and statuses in this world. Depending on the creativity, there are also a possibility where we can compete with the past generations of weapons」
Suddenly, Mom asked.
「Wait a minute, Edgar-kun.
That means in the previous life you never had magic, skills, and statuses?」
「Un. I don’t have those.
It seems that this world’s Good Gods developed this system to counter Evil Gods」
「Eeee…… i see」
Julia-kaasan was surprised and impressed.
For the people in this world magic, skills and statuses are normal and natural, they can’t imagine a world without those things.
「That’s why, I think magic is important.
We can’t knock a high-speed bullet with wind like arrows but we can make thick walls, evaporate the bullets in high-temperature flame, or slow it down with water barrier. There are a lot of things to counter guns」
「Un…… The solutions you provided… it’s going to exhaust a lot of MP」
Julia-kaasan thought with a troubled face.
「How about we dig trenches as protection for simple countermeasure?」
「Oh, I was thinking about teaching that to the knights」
「Originally, trenches are born in a battlefield that uses guns, so it’s doable」
「I see. So as countermeasure against guns, we can use magic warfare strategy」
「Dad, regarding the manufacture of guns, can you introduce me a trustworthy and skilled craftsman?」
「A craftsman eh… I have a few acquaintances in the royal city.
However, he only stay only when he need to report to His Majesty, the King. So it may be difficult to get his help in a long term」
「Still, I want to know the metal processing technology in this world. It may be different from my world」
Because there’s magic, I think that technology of this world is not that low. If you are doing metallurgy with magic and skill, it should be more convenient. Just like alchemy, processing metal directly should be convenient.
「I understand, I’ll introduce you then.
ーBut it’s been a long time since I contact him」
Alfred-tousan averted his gaze to Beck who was sitting on the bench in the courtyard.
「Ed, is there anything else you want to ask?」
「Oh, only one thing.
etto…… I want to make Steph stronger」
「fue? me?」
Hearing her name called suddenly, Steph jumped from her seat.
………Guessing from her reaction, it seemed that she can’t follow the story so far.
「Yup. I am interested in how far a person without a skill in battle would fare in war」
When I said that, tousan had a troubled face.
「Wait a minute, Ed. Steph is Popurus-san’s daughter. Isn’t making her fight will be a problem?」
「But, is it bad to learn to protect yourself?」
「That… that’s true」
「Actually, when this mansion was attacked by 〈Yatagarasu〉, Gazaine took Steph as a hostage. Now that she were close with me, it may be dangerous for her in the future」
「I see… But if it’s too dangerous for Steph, shouldn’t we find a former adventurer to serve as a maid?」
Well… I didn’t anticipate that argument.
Having a former adventurer as a maid will be convenient.
While recalling what happened before, I prepared a counterargument.
「…Imagine something similar happened again. A top assassin like Gazaine as your opponent. Therefore, we need to raise her. Taking advantage from my experiences, I want to research how to raise inexperienced people to protect themselves. Of course, I will protect Steph」
After hearing my words, Alfred-tousan considered the situation.
Then he went to Steph.
「Steph-san. What do you think? There may be danger if you keep being around Ed. Even if you are not working with Ed, I’ll make sure that nothing bad will happen to you.
Please think about it. Will you strengthen yourself by training with Ed, or will you resign to avoid danger?」
「I………」
Steph kept her eyes close and started to think.
Dad looking at her,
「You don’t have to decide it right away. Take your tiー」
「No, it’s fine」
Blocking dad’s words, Steph moves forward.
Steph kneeled in front of me and looked straight into my eyes.
「Ed-bochama, please help me grow stronger」
Steph is so serious that I was almost drop my shoulders.
I thought this was a refusal.
「Though I do nothing but fumble and am always causing trouble, bocchama never got mad at me. Even when he fell down the stairs at the mansion in Corvette Village, while he should have been in pain himself, he used magic to save me who came falling afterwards. On top of that, he even protected me when I was being scolded by Julia-okusama」(TL: Thank you, Jorgelotr)
So that happened.
When I thought about it, everytime Steph made a mistake, I always protected her. I don’t know who was the master in this relationship.
「Lately, when I’m free, he even teach me various things. My master, thanks to Ed-bochama, I am able to do not only addition and substraction, but also multipication and division. Furthermore, I can count numbers correctly even only for small digit numbers」(TL: thank you, Karma)
「I see…… Then, you can help Populus-san. Populus-san has decided to help doing my business. When his daughter comes to help, Populus-san would be happy」
Populus is the village chief of Trenadette and Steph’s father.
I heard that he was chosen as the chief thanks to his ability as a peddler.
However, when you get used to the village life, you seem to miss the business world. This time, he got some investment from Dad.
In fact, I’m also bite one or two pieces of the shop, but it’s a story for later time.
「No, Master. I will not come to help father. Ed-bochama」
「…yes?」
「I wish to study under Ed-bochama, I wish to know the pleasure of learning for the first time. It’s just been a while, but I enjoyed every bit of it. Studying, working, failing, there are so many things that I didn’t know and I’m glad to be able to do so. I have never had anything that I can do. Therefore, if you tell me to learn how to fight, then I will do so.
I want to be strong so I can stand next to this boy. That’s why…… etto…」
Steph was troubled with word and flustered.
After taking a deep breath, she continued.
「S-so… Please let me work for you…」
Steph put all her feeling in those words.
「…Thank you. Let’s work together, Steph」
I gave her my appreciation…
スナイパーは、２００メテル以上離れた地点を正確に撃ち抜くことができるらしいよ。
Sniper seems to be able to shoot accurately from 200 meters away
Snipers’s effective range is about 600-800 meters. The world record is 3.5 km.

Isekai GM 12. A Mage and A True Vampire
RAW: http://ncode.syosetu.com/n6073cm/13/
I’m planning to create a pdf and epub for “You Think It’s Fine to Just Summon Me to Another World? Eh?”. I’ll add another menu on the top after I’m done.
Thank you for reading.
Is she… alive?
The body before me was stabbed with spikes in multiple places… Even if she was alive, she might die any time.
「… ugh……….」
「You’re alive…!」
The pretty silver haired woman in front of me twitched in agony. I need to open the jail quick.
「Don’t go into the jail!! It will absorb your life!!」
A woman with fox tail surprised me.
「What did you mean absorb my life?」
「My name is Claudia. I’m a mage. That cage was designed to steal all energy from anyone inside it and kill them. Even a skilled adventurer wouldn’t even last 10 seconds」
「It’s just a little special cage…」
A cage that can kill anyone in less than 10 seconds.
I guess it will be troublesome if I didn’t have my 『Invicibility』.
「that… is right…….. Just give…. up on me…… Let me die……………」
Like a withered leaf, the silver haired woman squirt her voice.
Limbs, shoulder, torso, every spikes on her body twitches as she moves.
Her ruby colored eyes were fixed at me. Her expression was dark, like she had given up all hope.
(TL: taking my liberty here. The line isn’t really important anyway)
「Any normal men would give up. Unfortunately, I’m not normal」
I activated 『Invicibility』 and stepped into the cage.
「You really came inside…. You… Who are you?」
In the back, Claudia raised her voice in awe.
Don’t be surprised, the one in front of me is way more surprising.
「Sate, for now let’s pull this spike. Should I use recovery magic?」
「aaaa…… Recovery…… magic and…… potions are… useless……………But… How did you…… stay alive…」
「It’s thanks to my ability. Jaa… let’s start」
I said it as I pulled out a silver pike.
It was a slow and painful process. It’s better to pull them at once.
There were 10 silver spikes in total. I pulled the spike with one hand while supporting the silver haired woman with the other hand. If you melt all these silver, it will became a fortune.
I need to leave this cage, but I wondered if it’s alright to move this woman.
「Now I will go back to the ship…… Are you alright?」
Stabbed with silver spikes in multiple places.
Not affected by potions and recovery magic.
Hung on a cross.
There are a few races that popped up in my mind.
Vampire or Devil.
Both of them are often sealed.
I had thought about demons but they were in prison with me and they were effected by recovery magic.
(TL: anyone know the difference between Devil (Akuma) and Demons (Mazoku)?)
If she’s a devil then she will be alright in the day, but if she was a vampire she might turn into ash or disappear.
「……I’m fine…」
「Eh!?! But you are… a vampire…」
Claudia reacts to the silver haired woman before me.
She really is a vampire. But what did she meant “I’m fine”?
「…… I am……… 『True Vampire』……」
「No way… A 『True Vampire』 only exists in legends and myths… are you… really…」
「Let’s talk later. Claudia, you must be tired after being in this place for so long. and…… You, what’s your name?」
「My name is…… Adelhide…… Adelhide Bernstein………」
「Souka… Adelhide. It may hurt but please bear it」
I hold her with princess carry and took her into the slave ship. The spikes pierced deeply into her arms and legs, even from her back to her chest. Any movements will hurt.
「…hey stranger…… you are… not afraid of… vampire…?」
「It’s not that I’m not afraid. It’s just there is no reason to be afraid. Besides, the people who done this to you are more scary」
「…fu…fufu…… Truly a weird… human…」
Adelhide closed her eyes and felt asleep in my arms.
It seemed that she was in a sleep deprived state while being pierced by the spikes. Was there any barrier?
I wondered why she was still alive in that cage.
I’ll let her sleep on my bed for the time being
(TL: *crossesfinger* pleasenotanotherarifureta pleasenotanotherarifureta pleasenotanotherarifureta pleasenotanotherarifureta pleasenotanotherarifureta)
The injured are put on the hammocks and the sofas.
Then we tied all the slave ship crew in their own ship and took all the slaves into the room.
***
Roxas had started cooking.
Moving quickly, he made some stomach-friendly dish like potato soup with steamed potatoes. The slaves seemed to be very hungry and they assault every greens, breads, and soup.
Barbarossa offers coffee to the adult slaves. Paddle and Peddle were distributing some sweet cafe au lait for the children. Both of them were a better choice than Barbarossa.
Sugar and milk were stocked for my coffee maker.
It never ran out anyway.
It’s a mystery but it’s a nice ones.
「Welcome back, Big Boss. If there’s any leftover bread, can I have them?」
「Ah, I don’t mind. If there are too many, we can process them into black breads」
Roxas was concerned about the about the bread but 『Quality Improvement』 can fix it right up. Recently, I hit a jackpot and a bread turned into a yakisoba-pan.
I carried Adelhide into my bedroom while everyone was eating.
No, I don’t plan to do anything nasty.
This is a serious injury. If she wasn’t treated soon, it will turn into a trouble…
Sate… She’s a vampire so I can’t use recovery magic… Luckily, she wasn’t affected by the light of the day.
But I can’t move her either. ……Maybe Claudia knew something?
***
While watching Adelhide suffering in constant pain, I called out to Claudia.
Claudia must be very hungry, she took out 3 servings of soup. Right now, she was enjoying after-meal coffee.
「Ara, Big Boss-san. You are really out-of-this-world. This is the first time I see a magic artifact like this. I wonder if I can examine how it works…… Can I do it?」
「That would be a very useless attempt. Anyway, Since you’re a mage, you know a lot of stuffs, don’t you?」
「Ee… I’m quite confident in my knowledge about magic artifacts, alchemy, and golem. And I know a bit of medicine. …Does Big Boss need some information about the vampire?」
「Thank you for understanding so fast. Anything helpful?」
「I know something that might help…… but… there will be a few consequences.」
Claudia put her coffee on the table.
The other slaves are full and lying lifelessly on the sofa.
Oi oi, don’t die on the sofa.
「What kind of… consequences?」
「If you leave it healing naturally it might take 1 year… but looking at the wound, it might even take 3 years」
「3 Years? Is there any way to speed it up?」
「………………By giving her blood… She would start to heal as soon as she had some blood」
「I see, so that will make her heal faster」
「However, if someone was bitten by a vampire they will turn into a vampire or lesser vampire. Big Boss don’t need to go that far, no?」
Becoming a vampire……
Should I give it up and leave it to mother nature?
Nah… Only normal people would do that.
I’m not normal. I guess I’m the only one who can do it.
Everything will be negated by my 『Status Effect Immunity』.
In the original game, there were also status effect called 『vampirism』
「Very well. Let’s do it.」
「A-are you serious? You will never be able to live under the sun! Is that alright!?!」
Claudia grasped my shoulders and spilled her coffee.
But Barbarossa held her hand.
「Claudia, was it? It’s alright. Our Big Boss has a broken ability. That’s why everything will be alright. Even though I was a bit worried, I trusted our Big Boss.」
Being comforted by Barbarossa, Claudia released my shoulders.
Then Barbarossa gave her another coffee to drink.
He was surprisingly caring.
I didn’t expect it at all.
This guy even delivered coffee for his underlings who was doing night patrol.
***
I headed back to Adelhide who was sleeping.
She was still groaning in pain. I need to do this quickly.
I cancel 『Invicibility』 and 『HP/MP Auto Recovery (Mid)』 to let her wound me.
I cut my arm and let it bleed. It burns like hot steel.
「Oi, Adelhide. It’s blood… Drink it. It might heal you」
I shook her body and she opened her eyes.
「You…… What… are you doing? Letting me… suck your blood…」
「That’s what Claudia said a while ago. She was the fox-tailed woman from before. It’s alright. I’m special. So it’s alright for you to drink from me… Hurry up, don’t waste it」
「But……」
So stubborn.
Let’s force her.
「Now drink!!」
I shoved my bleeding arm into her mouth.
I could feel her fang hitting my arm, sucking the blood into her body.
Even though she was surprised, she drank my blood with her instinct. Was it vampire’s reflex?
She used both of her hands to hold my arm still.
Somehow, my surrounding became hazy.
(…ku…… Isn’t this a bit too long? Is it how it feels when your HP went down?)
I took a potion from the item box and drink it to recover HP.
Then my body started to feel better.
I could feel my physical strength recovering and I could see 『HP Recovery (Small)』 and 『Max HP Increase (Middle)』 in the skill frame. There’s no worry that the wound would close because the recovery is small.
As she drank my blood, I kept drinking potion to keep my 『HP Recovery』.
All holes on her body were closed and some few scars were visible before they were gone completely. Her complexion looked better than before, she looked like someone with a reddish complexion.
Finally, Adelhide licked my wound.
I regained some physical strength by using healing magic on myself. Even so, the blood won’t recover immediately. I reactivate 『Invicibility』.
「Who are you? I never heard someone who can resist vampirism… iya… I must thank you first. Big Boss-dono, please accept my sincere gratitude for rescuing me from that evil cage and gave me blood to cure my injury.」
Adelhide descended from the bed and kneeled deeply in front of me.
I haven’t realized it before, but apparently she was dressed like a knight. It seemed that her clothes are restored by blood as well.
She looked like a vampire knight.
「Aa. I only tried to cause as many problem as possible for the Empire. No worries. Anyway, Masaki is fine. Everyone called me Big Boss but somehow I missed being called by my name」
It’s good to be called 『Big Boss』 but sometimes it’s better if you are called with your own name. Being called Big Boss may suit my underlings but I’d like to be called by name when talking with outsider.
「Souka… Then Masaki-dono. Please call me Adelle. All my close acquaintance calls me that way. It’s way shorter and easier to pronounce」
(TL: Adel or Adelle. Vote starts now!)
「Then I will call you Adelle from now on. Adelle, all your wounds are healed. Where’s your country? I’d like to bring everyone who was caught to nearby ports」
Suddenly her expression darkened and she hung her head.
「…My country……was gone. The Empire destroyed my country and killed our king. I fought with my friends and families to let the people escape. That’s why I was caught… The other’s are missing… probably……」
Even if she didn’t say it, I understood. You lost the war against the Empire and if you’re lucky, you might escape. Maybe some of them captured as prisoners of war, but most of them had died.
「Is that so… Then what are you going to do? We are going north to the Saint Drag Kingdom and I will live as a pirate. But, the Empire is attacking everything so war isn’t avoidable. If you’re looking for your people, how about dropping off there?」
「……Masaki-dono, Can’t I come with you instead?」
「To take revenge to the Empire?」
「If I said no… that would be a lie. I hate them. But… My comrades would feel sorry for me if I live like that」
「Jaa, why do you want to come with us?」
「Aren’t you going to fight the empire? That’s why I want to prevent further tragedy. Besides…… You guys.… Do you have connections to the kingdom?」
「……No…」
Right…
Honestly, there’s none.
At worst, the most reasonable plan to offer rare weapons and high elixirs that I have but I need to take care since I can’t replenish the stocks yet.
「I have a connection in the Kingdom. Taking me will bring so much benefits. And I can fight as well. How about it? Care for a vampire who can fight under the sun?」
The answer was obvious.
Having a connection is a huge impact.
Moreover, vampires are excel in combat.
Even among pirates, the Pirates of the Round Table were not good at fighting on their own.
The only mages are Paddle and Peddle. They had a good magical combination. They can sunk a war vessel with their combination of water and earth magic.
Roxas, who was familiar with Fire Magic, was great at handling Flame Blade and a shield.
Barbarossa could go berserk wielding 2-handed-weapon on one hand.
And last, me.
The kingdom won’t be able to resist to recruit these people to fight the Empire.
But the other ones are mediocre at best. Even if their weapons are superior, the wielder are only soldier level goons. They are just average.
They are important companions because we can leave daily chore and ship operation.
But overall, our battle capability should be high.
「I am thankful for you being here. I’ll request it then. Will you join us?」
「Of course. Glad to be here. Masak-, no, since I joined your pirate group, should I call you Big Boss?」
「Please stop it. I’m fine with Masaki」
「Understood. Then, Masaki-dono. Let’s work together」
「Certainly. Let’s work hard together」
We shook hands and a new member joined the Pirates of the Round Tables.
Her name was Adelhide Bernstein. A 『True Vampire』
***
Epilogue?
「Ah. I’m glad to be here! This sofa! This delicious beer! This is the beeest!!!」
Claudia Fyura, the 『Mage』, was lying on the sofa.
This sofa… Is really a frightening opponent!!!
YTIF 12. What the Moon Priests Wants
Once again, I’m trying an ads service
Now I can officially say that I had caught up with the author.
RAW:http://ncode.syosetu.com/n2074cz/12/
This marks the end of YTIF translations.
Now let’s wait another year until the author updates the next chapter
TouranーI muttered her name to make sure I remembered it. Come to think of it, it’s the first time I used another person’s name in this world.
「So, who are you, child?」
*kukuku* Touran laughed.
Ha? Didn’t she already knew who I am? As if she read my thoughts, Touran shakes her head and her hair waved in the air.
「I’m not asking who “They” think you are, it’s about who “You” think you are…. Different, isn’t it?」
「ah… right…」
I don’t want to listen to anyone who admire me as 『Guardian of Scarlet Dawn』. I guess it’s easy for her to guess that I didn’t like the title 『Guardian of Scarlet Dawn』. She probably knows that I threw tantrums to the maids when I first came here.
I don’t know exactly how much authority or power this trapped woman or the 『Moon Priests』 had, but as an organization that could move freely inside the castle, I’d say that they had some special position to some extend.
(TL: I don’t really know about this. Can someone help me? 正直城の奥深くにある座敷牢に閉じ込められたTenshiのなり損ないとやらにどれだけの権限があるかなんてさっぱり分からないが、月天官、という少なくとも城内を自由に動くことの出来る組織を抱えている以上、それなりに特殊な立場にあると考えていいだろう。)
「I am Minafuchi Kaya. A high school student.」
I answered briefly. A high school student. If I couldn’t think about anything better to express myself.
「Kaya. Standing between the heaven and the people. Sounds like someone who can protect others from storms.」
「Like those reinforced roof? Well, the word certainly contains characters from my name」
「The one who protects and leads the people. It was the route that often taken by the Guardian of Scarlet Dawn」
I don’t exactly know how did my name related to the Guardian of Scarlet Dawn. Protect and lead the people? Is that how I protect Tenshi?
At the moment my head began smoking, Touran waved her long sleeve that spreads heavily and flutters in the wind. I can sense her sneering and sigh from her voice.
「… We can’t have a conversation if I’m the only one who’s talking. Honestly, it’s no fun at all. Well, it can’t be helped. Then, let’s slowly teach you about Guardian of Scarlet Dawn」
Finally we entered the main subject. *hmph* Why should I entertain you with some petty chat?
「Guardian of Scarlet Dawn is one of Tenshi’s line of defense. The one who maintains and protects Tenshi’s 『Loyalty』」
….. I heard that already.
There must be some more explanation to it. I glared at Touran. Touran tilted her head in amusement.
「That’s all?」
「The word that can express Guardian of Scarlet Dawn is limited to this. However since you came all over here, I will answer everything Kaya wanted to know」
She clearly enjoyed making fun of me.
My emotional self began thinking about leaving this place and go back to the room but my rational self holds it down.
Touran will answer anything I asked. Let’s be rational here.
「….Ja, the first one. What does Tenshi’s 『Loyalty』means?」
I didn’t understand what it is so I don’t know what is Guardian of Scarlet Dawn. I didn’t know anything regarding Tenshi as well. I need to gather information. Let’s use this opportunity to the fullest.
「Tenshi is an existence between heaven and man, it’s the existence who brought day and peace into this world. When Tenshi wakes up, the sun rises. When he sleeps, the sun sets. Therefore, anyone who were born in this Scarlet World do not dare to oppose Tenshi. In that way, Tenshi became arrogant. He treat himself as the most important person and started to treat those around him as he likes. If day-night cycle stops, the people can’t live their life.」
「So basically he’s a tyrant?」
「Correct. In this castle, Tenshi dictates everything」
As an incarnation of 『day』, aren’t you a bit too dark? Oh the irony.
「Guardian of Scarlet Dawn is always someone from the Blue World. They are the most noble and virtuous person. That’s why Guardian of Scarlet Dawn is the only one who can oppose Tenshi. ……. yoi ka, Kaya. Guardian of Scarlet Dawn is someone who will not prostate in front of Tenshi, but someone who stood up against him. It’s an existence that prevent Tenshi from doing something overboard and remind Tenshi to take care of the people」
….. Ah, I see. That’s how the 『Loyalty』is protected.
In short, watching an idiot before he went too far. Aa… So even if I don’t show any respect to Tenshi, it didn’t even matter. Because being annoyed by Tenshi is one of the job description.
For the people of this world it’s fine if I point out Tenshi’s mistakes and refusing to serve him. After that the ruler (Tenshi) will see his mistakes and changes himself ….Will he even change?
「Fufu… Did you noticed something important?」
Touran giggled *kukuku*.
「Tenshi’s death, If he dies then the crown is lifted」
「Crown? But when I saw him yesterday, I don’t see anything on that bastard’s head」
「It’s not an actual crown. It’s something located around his forehead」
She basically said that Tenshi’s crown was a metaphor of his proof of authority, but I’m not quite sure. Maa, it can’t be touched nor seen but he’s wearing some kind of a crown, isn’t he?
「That crown is proof of Tenshi. Therefore… Only the 『Guardian of Scarlet Dawn』 can remove that crown from Tenshi. Only the person who can give their whole being and go against Tenshi」
「……………. So it’s possible to force him down from the throne?」
「That’s not all. 『Guardian of Scarlet Dawn』 also have the ability to pass the crown to another person」
「Eh? To that extend?」
In spite of being repeated, Touran nodded. She fanned herself while enjoying my reaction, then she started to talk again.
「There is only one Heavenly Crown. Therefore when someone had chosen as a Tenshi, no one can take the crown. When a child is born with divine protection, the child of the night will become the incarnation of the day」
「Night?」
「That’s right. Tenshi’s failure will be the moolight and protect the peace of the night. That is the 『Moon Priest』」
Geh… I heard everything.
A soldier with jade clothes said that Touran was the Lord of the 『Moon Priest』.
「……….fuun. In other words, you are telling me to crown you as Tenshi. Isn’t that right, Touran?」
Finally everything is connected. Just knowing who you are looking at makes me felt better.
「Then, if I made you the Tenshi, will you return me to my world?」
Touran picked the edge of the paper with her fingertip and turned it up a little. Before I can move on, I need to draw some arc.
「…. The reason no one told me anything about this. Confused after being dragged into another world, there’s no way I wouldn’t torn off Tenshi’s crown, right?」
「That’s right. Tenshi who lost the crown can’t make the day rises. As long as the 『Guardian of Scarlet Dawn』 doesn’t grant the crown to anyone, everyone will gradually die」
It made me feel terrible however, I am tempted to do so.
I would like to return to the original world and I didn’t care if this world was destroyed. I could take the crown from Tenshi by force, destroys everything in this world, and then leave like nothing happened.
So I thought things would be.
「ーThis is the worst」
It sucks…
Even though everything was crystal clear, there was an awful feeling in my chest…
