Isekai Trip no Wakiyaku datta Ken Chapter 7

７

「Excuse me」

Lina-san brought in the man on standby outside of my room who was in charge of my protection due to the influence of the Priestess Princess, even though I didn't have much of a role.

I stood from the sofa to greet him.

「This is the knight Kainrott Dentavis-sama. He was chosen as Michiru-sama's guard and as a consultant.」

「Wa……」

When I saw the person who followed into the room after Lina-san, I opened my mouth vacantly.

What, what, there's an ikemen here too!?

A grand entrance!

An evident beauty, a game character is living and walking around!

Seeing he who was slim and tall in knight's attire, my cheeks loosened.

Cuz, an isekai template is finally happening.

Even though it's at me who is an extra's place, a super cool guy arrived.

「A princess named Michiru, is it. I am Kainrott. I am a member of the Chivalric Order, and as of today I've been tasked with you. Best regards.」

With a manly voice that reverberated well and a taut and masculine expression, he spoke.

Excellent, Kainrott-san!

I've already remembered your name, Kainrott Dentavis-san!

His brisk movements and sharp gaze, his aura that didn't curry favor was "oresama" 1 like and tasty. His knight's attire that fit tightly also, and his stoic air also suited him, his uniform tickling my moe heart. And of course, his physique was the slender-macho 2 that everyone loved.

And his hair!

With a cool feeling, shining in the light it was a magnificent ice blue.

His silky smooth long hair reflected the light from around his beautiful face, just looking at it made me instinctively go「ah」and I almost staggered.

Making doubly sure, his eyes were a deep sapphire-like blue.

Ahh, it's like he's the Prince of Ice! 3

It was my favorite character type, but it became real and was standing right in front of my eyes.

Uwahー, this is a beauty!

Can I worship him?

And, I who had my jaw dropped until now finally regained myself.

「Ah, um, likewise, I will be troubling you」

Putting into action the extraordinary smile I made during the goukon, I spoke.

Unfortunately, there were no men that got hooked with this, but I won't mind that.

A smile is important. I wanted the people who I would be involved with often from now on to think well of me, especially since I was thrown into a situation I couldn't make heads or tails of, strategizing with my image 4 was important.

The reason why the still young knight Kainrott-san knit his eyebrows, was it because he thought I was a shady woman who came from another world?

Or, though it's extremely regretful, to my smile that was lacking in feminine appeal, was it not powerful enough to give him a good impression of me?

Regardless of his flashy visual of ice blue hair and blue eyes, maybe because there was no sweetness in his expression, though he was handsome I couldn't feel festive. He seems to be a person who uses a sword and fights for his job, a slim ikemen with a masculine feeling.

To speak of it in nowadays' terms……he was like an idol type dancer?

Though he was a knight, there was no brawny or unrefined feeling.

Yes, he had muscles like springs, a lovely slender-macho youth.

Un, he's extremely great!

It's definite he's cool.

If that was the case, then as I suspect he should be popular in this world, so a black pupiled black haired orthodox j.a.panese beauty like me……I'm sorry, I lied, I'm a plain zashiki warashi, would be far out of his range.

I know. I won't wish for much.

As long as this plain Jane could quietly observe this ikemen while crouching in the corner of my room, that was plenty for me.

「Even within the Chivalric Order, Kainrott-san is more skilled than anyone else, and he has a position as a n.o.ble, so he possesses various knowledge on this kingdom and this world.」

Lina-san introduced.

Uwaah, to be strong even though he has a pretty face, this guy is popular without a doubt.

And he's a n.o.ble, huh.

Oresama cool type n.o.ble, it's my favorite.

I must become his friend.

I don't care if I'm the in the lowest seat.

「That is very heartening, Kainrott-san. Coming here suddenly I don't know what's what, I was actually pretty discouraged. If it's fine with you, please let me consult with you on various things, ok?」

When I spoke with a smile filled plentifully with flattery（yes, even though I'm a plain kid, my reception is important! Smile, max power!）, he said「Yes」and nodded.

「I want to become your power within the most of my capabilities」

Waa, I got unexpected gentle words!

It's likely a thing like『I will definitely accomplish my duty』, but it was something thankful for I who wanted an ally, if even one.

「While it's said I'm a n.o.ble I'm of lower rank so I don't have much information or connections, and I have limited prestige in the Chivalric Order so there is merit with my face. Lina is a veteran lady-in-waiting, she's an influential person who has even served the royalty, so if there's something you're worried about it's fine to come and ask us. It doesn't matter if you rely on us without reserve」

Saying so his strict expression from until now crumbled, and quite unexpectedly, with his mouth holding a light and gentle smile he nodded at me.

「Th-thank you」

Uwaaaahhh, he's different from his image!

I never thought that the oresama cool type knight would show me a tender smile, so feeling severely shaken, I thought（Ohhh, unlike his cold appearance, this person might be a super good person）and pressed down my chest.

Because, when he smiled he became even more cool, so he would make a naive maiden whose age = the number of years without a boyfriend's heart throb.

……Huh, am I even easier than Maki-chan?

I won't be able to speak about others at this rate.

But, because Kainrott-san is super my type, this throbbing can't be helped!

Right now, this is the first time I'm glad to have come to this world!

Without knowing my inner thoughts, without erasing his gentle smile the serious-looking knight spoke.

「Even though you're so young, it must've been hard to get entangled in crossing worlds. Even though you're at an age where you should still be receiving your parent's love」

「……? Ha?」

Looking at the ikemen with hot cheeks, my ears heard words that would make me incline my head.

Young, you say?

A parent's love?

「It's alright, there's nothing to be frightened of. So that bad guys won't get close, I will protect you. Don't worry」

「……Ha? Eh? EHH?」

The tall him approached me and stooped down to his knees, and unexpectedly his palm began to rub my head, "good girl, good girl."

「It's not scary, not scary」

「U-u-ummm……」

「It's alright, it's not scary. You're a good girl」

The knight with eyes that shined just like jewels murmured sweetly to me.

But the contents were definitely not a lover's words.

「Good good, I won't let anyone bully you so don't worry, you were admirable」

Dropping my jaw blankly once again, while the large hand stroked my head gently, I looked at Kainrott-san's well-featured face as he seemed to try and soothe me.

Yaaay, I finally got to chapter 7

Oresama-type is like a type that is self-centered and forceful. Breaking it down, it’s a gruff and masculine way to refer to yourself (Ore 俺 meaning “I”) and (sama 様), a suffix attached to the name of someone who is revered/respected/in a high position. This is just my understanding of it so hopefully I’m not wrong lol ↩ This seems to be used a lot in novels aimed at female audiences, but hoso-macho 細マッチョ is someone with a slender figure, but relatively muscular. Not overly bulky, but with just the right amount of muscles. ↩ It didn’t say Prince of Ice but I felt like it would sound better than “Young n.o.ble youth of ice.” Here is the original if anyone wants to have a go at it: ああ、まるで氷の貴公子のようではないか！ ↩ Not physical appearance, but with the impressions other people have towards her and her reputation and stuff. Things more along those lines. ↩
