Isekai Shoukan Makikomu Ijousha Chapter 41

Isekai Shoukan chapter 41: Marriage bracelet

After having spent a single night in the forest, we went to Ragishisu kingdom´s royal palace. In the case of camping, I thought we didn't need a watch because Johnny who fainted from the vomiting trip woke up after one hour, I a.s.signed him to that position by compulsion.

For the time being even high ranking monsters are frightened by Johnny´s existence, so none appeared at the place where we rested, there was no monster nearby.

"Hmm......here here. This was probably handed."

I took out a folded paper, that is like a letter of recommendation from the pocket of my pants. Soon after I accepted the request, I received a piece of paper from Edith who said "It was written on the back of the request paper, that I shall give to the person who accepts the request" and I stuffed it into my pocket.

When facing a royal palace, I thought that I should camouflage my face with my camouflage skill but with long hair, moreover, whether there is not a person who would notice instantly that my hair is completely dyed white, so I stopped thinking using camouflage.

Tifal´s reason and the atmosphere also seem quite different compared to one year ago. When the camouflage skill is used for my face, there is a strange uneasiness, so I didn't want to use it.

"Hey!! You. What do you want in the royal castle? If there you business here, then don't wander around."

When I hang around near the imperial castle where I made a grand dignified appearance, I was called out by a man who seems to be a gatekeeper with a sword hanging on his waist and seems to doubt me. Since Tifal is clinging to my arm, it is likely that she will be treated the same.

No, well. You need a good amount of courage to speak to a stranger on your own. Did he call out to me properly after he calmed down after five minutes? Really, Really.

"............"「……………」

I handed the paper that I received from Edith silently to the gatekeeper.

Ah, is it not the reason that is silent because it is hard to talk? Does a person not talking will say that there is no trust? Therefore, to raise the rating of this letter......ah, I'm sorry, I didn't open my mouth because I merely hate conversation with another person......

"What is this paper......ah, it's about the employee. You may enter inside."

The moment, the gate-keeper sees the contents of the paper he steps aside to invite us into the castle while seeming lazy.

I had a disgusted expression. There might not be many people who respond to that request like us, but would many people come here to become a servant?

We set foot into the imperial castle at the same time we get permission, but the imperial castle's entrance was a fork. When I decided the course without permission and began to advance to the right, the gatekeeper used his voice again in a hurry.

"Hey Hey, I don't care whether you're on good terms or not, but the man must leave. If you go to the location of the maid application examination, it would be a trouble."

I am persuaded by the gatekeeper and I, who knew that I got the wrong way change direction to the left pa.s.sage while Tifal is following me.

"Tifa, there is no meaning for you to follow......even if I leave it is only for several minutes. You should finish it quickly."

As for Tifal......after she also murmured something, she left my side and took the right pa.s.sage.

Tifal´s perception is awfully good today. Was there something good?

I go quickly after I see off Tifal for several seconds by looking back and I was advancing the left pa.s.sage while murmuring small.

When I walk along the left pa.s.sage for about several minutes, I arrive at the end and I looked at a signboard that was in front of a door which has written 『Servant application examination』 before I turn the doork.n.o.b and open the door.

Four old men who were sitting on a long desk and probably are the examiners asked "Eh 'cough', why did you think to receive an employee examination?" this somehow. I set foot into the room.

There was the figure of Kaede who laughs thinly there while leaning against the wall.

She was laughing with an expression of a child who isn't able to wait what will happen next.

I was standing there absentminded without being able to understand why Kaede is in this room for the servant examination.

Kaede who was in this room observed me and her eyes are moving up and down as if she is checking me out. The sound of the door closing selfishly from my hand separating from the doork.n.o.b affected the room which was wrapped in silence before.

Kaede observed me for approximately several seconds, a pendant was on her pants she was wearing, , , , , and at the same time as she took something out and throw it away she jumped into my arms.

"Aaa, Io-kuunnn......although the color and length of your hair are different my eyes won't be deceived......I wanted to meet...... I wanted to meet you Io-kun......hey Io-kun. Does Io-kun wear perfume?" (TLN: Iori run as fast as you can)

Kaede has buried her face in my chest and has rubbed her face. But her movement stopped suddenly for some reason and she asked it in a slightly low tone.

It was mysterious why I was identified immediately, but because there was no special reason, I didn't denied it and said to Kaede "I´m Yamada", and only answered her question.

"......Perfume? Is it because you pa.s.sed several maids on your way? ren't you wearing it? And......saying nothing to me...... I´m anxious."

Because I was able to understand that Kaede is worried from her current behavior, I attached an apology and returned some words.

"Maid......uuhh......well I pa.s.sed. It is true!! Did you worry very much? But you don't need to worry about it. You won't be separated anymore from me."

Kaede was convinced, though her expression seems to slightly hard to swallow it. Saying that I will never leave her......doesn't become a terrible and apologizing feeling if I think that I caused her to be anxious so much......

I must do something for Kaede, but suddenly I had a strange uneasiness for some reason when I looked around this room now after I took my eyes from Kaede who still buries her face into my chest.

A geometrical design is in the room, , , , , , , but it was drawn infinitely thin.

...........Cho, this room resembles closely the room I visit one year agooo!!!

I tried to rush and go out of the room, but my right hand was pulled by something and I was obstructed to go away from the room.

And it was also put on Kaede's left wrist.

I, who couldn't understand what had happened asked unconsciously.

"Emm......what? This is a 「Marriage bracelet」......no, but by all odds seeing it from anyway it's a 「Marriage bracelet」........."

(TLN: Too late Iori Kaede caught you:) )

Kaede still had her pleasant smile. I, who judged that it was useless asked about something different.

"Amm......this......no, this bracelet must have a keyhole......"

I was not able to endure the silent overpowering of Kaede restated it in panic. It was like a handcuff but only without a keyhole. Will this come off properly?

"What are you saying Io-kun. Is this a marriage bracelet? Is there a reason why you don't take it off somewhere? Because we're a married couple, isn't it common sense to show everything to each other and behave together? So is a marriage bracelet necessary?"

Kaede´s expression resembled Tifal´s sometimes shown expression closely. I who was troubled with an answer used the words that I read before in the book called "The best answer method to know when you are troubled with the answer of the conversation".

".........That's so."

I feel slightly awkward because Kaede changed to an expression which seems satisfactory just after I uttered my words and my answer from just now might have been quite good.

"Kaede go out of the room, quickly."

While I suffered from cluttering, when I issued my words from just now, 'uhuhuhu', Kaede repeating murmuring isn't heard. Just after having decided to give up and carrying Kaede out of the room, Kaede and I were wrapped in light.

"That's a lie!?"

My shout was useless because Kaede and I are transferred to somewhere.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

The place where we were transferred is like a Western-style building. And my face is reflected at the mirror right in front of us and a blond girl with pale skin is smirking with lowered cheeks.

".........Who?" Iori

When I mention what I think of the girl who is before us she became aware of our existence and whether my foolishness could be seen by others, she shouted while her cheeks seemed to be unhealthy red.

"......Th, This vvvoooiiccceeee!!!!" Unknown girl
