If You Got the Power of Flight, Invisibility, and Teleportation, What Would You Do? v3c53

Three nights passed after my fight with Matifa, I forced myself to come to the castle.

Matifa’s contract is the cause.

These are Matifa’s remodeled beastmen, with the exception of Misha, they number around 50 They’ve already in Desire’s camp and Mark Newt house should’ve been keeping it somewhere. Perhaps he threw them.

I don’t understand his aim but it would be dangerous for the current me to approach. Matifa should deal with it if there’s some movement but I’ll give up today. I went to Matifa’s research building while thinking that.

When I came to Matifa’s usual room, Matifa welcomed me in bad mood.

「Fun, You finally came. If you didn’t come I would’ve died because of the breach of contract. I don’t want to meet you though!」

Matifa faced away with tsuntsun. She used her own contract as an excuse.

「Ou, I came to meet you intentionally. Be grateful」

I asked the business while walking dizzily.

「What do you want me to do? Is it no good in your room?」

「Who requested you to bring me?」

Well, I should just run in case of emergency. Ortiz also stopped Radom at that time so I wouldn’t get killed immediately.

「Yes yes, I’ll follow you」

「That’s right. Since you did a strange contract, I wasn’t able to rest properly」

I leaned on Matifa’s back abruptly.

「W-what are you doing! Release me」

「You’re really selfish!」

Matifa invoked healing magic as she touched my hand angrily. Warm light wraps my body and energy springs in.

「How’s it? Did you feel better」

「Then walk by yourself. Also, there will be a guard soon. Be sure to use your invisibility」

Just like Matifa said, I passed through the guard invisible and we went to Ortiz’ private room.

「I’m indebt to Matifa-dono. You often came too. I welcome you」

Having no dignity as a King, he’s like an exhausted old man you can find anywhere. That’s Ortiz’ impression right now.

「I wanted to express my gratitude」

But, Ortiz replied to my words with a wry smile.

「I’ve heard about you from Matifa-dono and Christel-sama. Thanks to them, I finally was able to get the whole picture」

「Yeah, I was told about you after the incident in the audience」

It somehow turned troublesome again.

Tracing back the origin of the assassination request, it finally reached Ortiz. The number of nobles and merchants that can’t be judged by the country multiplies, that’s when Ortiz went to Master and asked for advice. Then Master planned out an assassination and I carried it out.

「Search? What’s that?」

「What the hell!?」

A-class search is isued only on the specially dangerous person. Those being searched are those who indiscriminately kills or mass murders or those who uses forbidden magic. In addition, the price for catching a Class-A fugitive is a large amount of money. Furthermore, it’s not even a question about life or death.

Seeing the troubled me, Ortiz continued the explanation.

「I think it’s bad but it’s a necessary treatment. After you ran away last time, Radom and Desire had begun to quarrel. Many of the aristocrats are looking for that form too. A villain is absolutely necessary to put order in this place」

According to him, after I ran away from the audience Desire began cornering Radom as he missed. Matifa pointlessly reenacted the situation with her clones.

『If brother1 didn’t pop-up there, Lion and Trovas would’ve caught him. But brother obstructed them We’re the royal family, are you self aware?』

『I did mind so I couldn’t be a nuisance. What about you brother?』

He wants me to take responsibility on the quarrel of the brothers.

I think Ortiz is a ally for the time being. Though he’s a king, he knows nothing2, his power is a jest.

「Saying that helps me. What, since you had a mask on your face, there won’t be problems. And since you have a magic deficiency disease, you won’t be suspected immediately. There’s no way you can escape if you’re a no magic, you would be crushed by all of the people there」

Well, that’s true. There’s no way that the me who wore the mask will be suspected. That’s why, it’s fine to be grand.

「Got it. Is that all?」

「Then I have another question」

「Shut up and just answer」

「The next king would be Radom but problems occured. Do you know the daughter of the Will Gantt House that died against the battle with Misumunto Kingdom two years ago?」

「If you know that much then you understand. If Radom becomes the next king right now, the war will be inevitable. On the other hand, if it’s Desire, it would be inevitable for Radom and Will Gantt’s rebellion. It’ll also be a war in this case. That’s why I’m desperately trying to persuade Radom right now. There’s a lot of disturbances so it doesn’t go well」

Ortiz throws up a sigh.

「You must’ve been disappointed. But please don’t be so unreasonable. There’s a limit on how much I can protect」

Then Matifa retorted.

「Don’t say that anymore. Also, you also did such things. I don’t care even if everything is exposed!」

「Yeah, please tell my regards to Christel-sama」

‘Say hello to master’? I don’t want to see her though.

「You! Don’t ignore me!」

「No! I’m not tamed by this man!」

「Ortiz! Don’t misunderstand! It’s not like I’m his ally or anything!」

「I don’t like him at all!! If you keep talking like that I’ll blow up this room!」

In the end, it took more than 10 minutes to get out of Ortiz’ room.

◆

「Oi, Matifa, fix your mood. Aren’t you overstating a bit?」

Today’s guards were two female knights. They seem to be talking about their skin getting rough, but I don’t care about it.

「Matifa-sama, what are you doing at such a time?」

「However, the princess is already asleep…」

「Sorry. I’m going in then」

I also said ‘coming in’ inside my mind and came inside.3 After confirming the door was closed, I removed my invisibility.

「Yo, it’s been three days」

「That day?」

「That’s wrong! Why can’t you understand how anxious I am when you didn’t come!? I’d be glad if menstruation come instead! I’m going to have a party with Matifa-sama!」

Seria became angry. It seems I’m wrong about her being strange. It’s the usual Seria.

「Hey, that’s not it, I want to talk to you today」

「What’s with that assumption of you refusing? You see, it’s about the town. I’m already tired of the Hikikimori lifestyle. I want to go out!」

But, I can’t go together with her, this is when I will use the convenient slave as a helping hand.

「You hear, Matifa? You’re also staying indoors right? Then you should go out together with her out of town」

There’s one woman who’s not afraid of Matifa. It’s master. Her age is unknown and it seems that she’s good friends with Matifa. To the extent that she ordered me to kill her.

「That woman is Master isn’t it?… I feel sorry about you」

「That noble is good for nothing?」

However, if Matifa says it’s no good, it would be more difficult for Seria. I can’t leave him to Lion, I can’t go with it. Going out with a man is just like a date. If I see that, I might become the incarnation of envy.

「Give it up Seria. I’ll think about it if I have no other options but it’s already impossible」

「If your safety is already guaranteed. Also, it’s no good if you’re alone with Lion」

「Guh…shut it」

It seems horrible. Certainly the small articles stinks but I don’t need to say it directly. I’m not intolerant. I’m just careful.

「Is that all? If so, I’m going back」

My fever is really painful. I feel better thanks to Matifa but still the headache and dizziness doesn’t go away. The lecher doesn’t come out as I’m feeling ill.

「No no, that’s too blunt for a sick person indeed. Also, let’s talk some more?」

「Favor? Didn’t you tell me that a while ago?」

Saying that, Seria laughed cutely.
