Jikuu Mahou de Isekai to Chikyuu wo Ittarikitari Chapter 314-315

––

After madly searching in the northern forest on Saturday and Sunday, the [Devil race’s town] wasn’t found in the end.

On Monday, the next day, while searching the Devil race’s town with remote-controlled tracking beacons, I went to work as per usual.

「Maruyama-kun, sorry to make you do this first thing in the morning, but you’ve been called by the Nancy Jewelry.」
「Ah, yes.」

Immediately after coming to work, I’ve been told about this by the director.
Even though I’m an SE, don’t I seem like a sales person?

When I rushed over, the vicinity of the Nancy Jewelry was crowded with press corps.

「Are you a staff of Nancy Jewelry?」

A strong-willed-looking female reporter suddenly thrust out a microphone.

What on Earth is this!?
Does the news coverage of the terrorism incident that happened last week still continuing?

「Arc Gold had transferred money to the terrorist organization in order to harass Nancy Jewelry, do you know anything about it?」

I see, that sort of [new information] has come out, huh.
Did some weekly magazines write a scoop article or something?

「I’m sorry, I don’t know a thing.」

I pretended to not know anything and after pushing my way through the press corps, I somehow managed to get inside the Nancy Jewelry.

「Ah, Seiji, welcome.」

「Nancy, I came since you called me, but what can I help you with? No matter how many I am, I can’t make the press corps disperse.」

「Well, it’s mama, who has business with you.」

I was shown into the inner part of the room where mama-san is.

「Hello, mama-san. I’ve come, but is there anything you need?」

「Actually, I’m leaving Japan so I’m entrusting Nancy to you, alright?」
「Eh? It’s so sudden, where are you going?」

「I’m going to [Bhutan] for a short time.」

「Ah, it’s about the [Nullpo Stone], huh.」

「Eh? How did you know?」
「I saw it on the documents you left behind some time ago. I apologize for looking at it without permission, but it’s not good to leave behind important documents, you know?」

Well, their information management is so huge, though, so they will occasionally need outsiders to help with filing documents.

「It’s not like that, but you can read that?」
「That?? Ahh, [Dzongkha] was it? Yes, I can read it.」

[Dzongkha] is the official language of [Bhutan] and the documents I saw a while back were written in [Dzongkha].

「Perhaps……Seiji, you can speak Dzongkha?」
「Eh? Yes, I can speak Dzongkha, but……」

The flow of the conversation……
I have a bad feeling about this.

「Seiji, can’t you go with me as an interpreter?」

So it came, as expected!

「It’s impossible since I have work.」

「Don’t say such a thing, come~. I’m troubled because there’s no interpreter~.」
「I’m not an interpreter!」

「Then, it doesn’t have to be as an interpreter, does it?」

「Hn?? What do you mean by that?」

I have a bad feeling about this course of events.

「Ah, Maruyama-kun, I’m sorry it’s sudden, but you need go on a business trip to Bhutan.」
「Huh?」

When I returned to the company, I was told about something unthinkable by the director.
Darn it, that fucker mama-san had made preparations in secret!

「What is it all of a sudden!? I don’t want to.」

「Don’t say such a thing, I’m asking this of you. We may be able to receive an order for an inventory control system of a gem mine in Bhutan. Even the president said that he’s definitely counting on you. My success in life depends on it, too!」

「Your success in life, it doesn’t have anything do with me, does it?」

「Because it said that a special bonus will be given, too!」

B-, Bonus, huh……

If it’s the company’s directive, I have no choice, but to follow.

I was a bit interested in going to Bhutan before……
Well, I can easily go there by myself with [Teleportation].

「Uhh, what about visa formalities and the like?」
「About that, you can feel relieved because it’s said that it will be taken care of on Jewelry Nancy’s side.」

How finesse.

Thus, I’ll be going on a business trip for the duration of the lantern festival1.

However, what will Nancy’s mom do going to Bhutan hurriedly like this?
I wonder if there’s something in Bhutan?

Although I can still go to the other world from the destination of the business trip, I’d like to settle the matter regarding the Devil race before that.

With that said, because of the passport formalities and the like, I was moving around in various places.

「I’m hungry……」

I went inside a gyūdon shop and ate a gyūdon in solitude.
Sometimes, you just feel like eating a gyūdon, right~?

「Ah! Found it!」

I unconsciously stood up from my seat at the counter in the gyūdon shop and shouted while holding a gyūdon in one hand.
Thus, I garnered the attention of the onii-sans and oji-sans, who were in the gyūdon shop.

「S-, Sorry……」

I timidly sat back in my seat.

So,

what did I find, you ask?

I found that there are [Devils] reflected in one of the [Tracking Beacons] I sent out to search in the northern forest.

It’s a group of about twenty [Devils] heading northwards.

Those Devils are taking approximately three humans along.
The three people are being led along with their hands tied behind their backs, a rope tied around their necks and soulless-looking eyes.

It’s the Devil race!
They’re still doing such a thing, huh……

I’d like to help, but…… what the hell, it’s still my working hours~.

I got out of work at the appointed time and returned home,

「Onii-chan, wait up, are you going to help the people caught by the Devil race?」
「Yeah.」

Being informed, too, about it earlier via email, Aya, Elena and Hilda have completely prepared.

「Onii-san, I will also participate this time.」

For the first time in a while, the , loli karate practitioner, Mai-san, had also come.

「Alright! Well then, let’s go suppress the Devil race!」
「「Ohhh!!」」

The five of us flew to the other world with [Teleportation].

Lasts for 3 days, but the start date varies within different regions of Japan. ↩

Yaa, yaa, I’m Aya1~. You devils! Surrender obediently~.

Aya called out to the Devils from behind.

「What? What is it?」
「It’s a [hornless] female2! The [hornless] female is speaking our language!」

The Devils, who were traveling northwards, stopped and turned around, wondering what it was.

By the way, the [hornless] that the Devils are referring to is the Human race.

「I was wondering what it was, turns out to be four hornless female. For them to be speaking our language despite being [hornless], they’re audacious. Let’s use this opportunity to catch these fellows, too, and turn them into slaves.」
「「Ohh!」」

When the most-important-looking guy gave the order, instead of being vigilant, the Devils approached Aya and the others nonchalantly.

「Even if you bring along such a [kid], she’s very unlikely to be of any help.」

Ah, if you call that person a [kid] or something like that……

「Who’s a kid!?」

Bam!

Mai-san, who had been called a [kid], struck that devil with all her might and the struck devil was blown away, slamming into a slightly far-off, large tree and fainted.

「My gawd! T-, This fellow is strong!」

The Devils took three steps backwards and took a vigilant stance.

I mean, they underestimated them too much.

There are probably some people, too, who are wondering how Aya and the others can speak the Devil language.
That’s because I made a [Language Acquisition Magic Stone] from which a level 2 [Devil Language] can be acquired and had everyone to acquire it.

And then, as for me……

Turning myself invisible, I lurk.
I’m a ninja!

「You heinous Devils! You were frightened by this pretty Aya-sama, huh! You cowards!」

「Riled up, hornless female, you get cocky when I let you say whatever you want, huh!!」

Oh, the Devils has fallen into the provocation.

With this chance, I……

「You cowardly Devils! You there, if you’re scared, get lost!」

「Shit, since things turn out like this, use those hornless slaves as a shield!」
「Yes!」

「I-, It’s not good!!」
「What happened!!?」

「The hornless slaves…are gone!」
「W-, What!!!?」

Well, I rescued them while those fellows had their guards up against only Aya.

「Aya, I rescued them so that’s enough.」
「Roger~.」

I hid the people I’ve rescued in the forest and joined Aya and the others.

「Crap, a hornless male3 has appeared! That fellow looks strong, he’s dressed in head-to-toe black.」

I’m certainly the strongest among us here~, but is their standard of whether one looks strong or not whether one is black or not?4
I don’t understand the Devil race’s commonsense.

「You guys, don’t get scared! Attack that fellow with an all-out attack!」

When the leader-like guy ordered so, the devils attacked simultaneously.

30 seconds later……

All the 20 or so Devils except for the leader were beaten by us and were knocked out.

「Hii! You monsters5!」

The Devil leader escaped at full speed.

「Ahh, he escaped~.」
「It’s fine since I’ve quickly put a [Tracking Beacon] on him.」

With this, we will be able to find the Devil race’s town in a while…supposedly.
That fellow must’ve gotten exhausted while running away, right?

Now, what should we do about the beaten Devils and the rescued hostages~?

At first, the rescued hostages had soulless-looking eyes and didn’t talk at all, but when we took the [Slave’s Collar] off with [Curse-removing medicine], they immediately became energetic and began to talk.

Since all of them seem to be from Shinju town, I escorted them to Shinju town.

While I’m at it, I should hand over the Devils to Lella.

「Lella, sorry to bother you this late at night.」

「Se-, Seiji! What’s the matter? At such an hour, perhaps, to me……」

「Lella, what are you going to do to onii-chan?」

Aya shows up from behind me.

「Eck! Aya, so you’re here, too, huh!」

Good grief, no matter how much time passes, Lella and Aya just won’t get along with each other, huh.

「We caught Devils today, so we came here to hand them over to you.」
「Devils…you say! They’ve been quiet these days!」

I explained the situation to Lella.

「I see, I will also let the other towns know, but Seiji, do you really plan to attack the Devil race’s town with only you guys?」

「It’s not like we’re going to attack, but the possibility for us to end up doing so is high.」

When I answered so, Lella had been lost in her thoughts.

And then,

「Seiji, when you attack the Devil race’s town……I’m coming, too!」

「Huh!? Lella, what are you saying? You’re entrusted to be the feudal lord of Shinju town, right? What about going to the front line?」
「B-, But……」

Even though she was afraid and trembling during the war against the Goblin Prince……
Lella has grown up, too, huh.

「Well, let’s talk about it after the Devil race’s town is found.」
「Un.」

We entrusted the Devils that we caught to Lella and returned to Japan.

She’s imitating how Satania from Gabriel dropout introduce herself. ↩ commonly used for animals to mean female. ↩ commonly used for animals to mean male. ↩ Probably too much of a mouthful, so any help in rephrasing this? ↩ bakemono ↩
