Ore no Osananajimi wa Joshikousei de Yuusha Chapter 31

If we do it now we still can extract the parasite from Princess’ body.

Together with Mist who is pantyle… I mean, has the Human Mist ability, aimed to escape from the underground. Which reminds me, she’s not wearing underwear on her upper half either, but I should stop thinking unnecessary things in an emergency like this. Yep.

“….. No good. Everyone’s loitering around outside”

Mist had slipped out of a gap between the basement’s large entrance doors like a ghost for reconnaissance.

“I’m beat…”

In that case I’d like Mist to go rescue Princess on her own, but that’s a no-go.

I’d like to extract the parasites from just the maids right in front but if I did that the other maids are going to notice something strange and I don’t know what they’re going to do.

As I was racking my brains Mist said that and turned into mist again.

“I don’t really know, but even though this is a basement there’s wind coming from that way”

“Somehow when I turn into this body I became sensitive to airflow”

Mist fluttered and entered another cell, she entered through a crack in the end wall.

“Yuuki! Come here! Hurry!!”
Looks like she found something.

The wall at the end was not a wall.

A passage lay beyond that.

I took out a torchlight and lit up the hallway.

“I can feel the flow of air. I think we can probably get out”

“Mist, clothes”

She somehow seems like she considers putting on clothes a pain in the rear….

“Ah! I have to tell you that I’m okay with being seen naked only by Yuu-kun, okay!”
“Yeah, yeah”

We started walking, relying on Mist’s senses.

“Don’t ask me…. I only work here, I don’t know about the jail structure or anything”

According to that nun, this place is an escape path for emergencies, so it might be reasonable if one of those emergency exits is disguised as a prison.

Speaking from experience, I told Mist to be careful.

“Well…. one reason or another”

Though Princess Rosé did slap me that time, it was to protect me from the nun.

She then cried her eyes out, feeling sorry she hurt my body.

That Princess Rosé fell into that sleazebag’s hands, what’s she going through right now.
And she’s even happy about it—damn bastard!

“……. Yuu-kun, I know you’re angry, but…”

“Yeah, I know. I’m not down anymore”

She’s fighting together with me for my sake, even to the point of becoming a monster.

I’m sure she must be frightened.
Both her and Rosé, I have to help right away.

I don’t have time to break down.

“…… Wait, Yuu-kun”

She stared at the walls and touched it.

Another room hidden with magic, huh.

“There’s somebody inside…”

Then she shouted in a panic.

As Mist demanded, I pressed the ‘Acid‘ item on the [Skills] on the E:ID phone.

[Action!!]

The wall that should’ve been stone made a metallic sound and opened outwards like a door.

The insides of the room was the spitting image of the cell we were kept in.

Those clothes, I think I saw them somewhere….

Mist shouted and ran over.

He was in the prime of health when we came here, but in Mist’s arms she looked gaunt and pale. He looked like he hadn’t eaten for quite a while.

“I don’t know”

I touched Marquis Isky’s neck, checking for a pulse.

“Who’s there, who are you?”

“….. Lady Demy…?”

“You mean Princess Rosé…!? You can’t, you mustn’t let her set foot in this residence!”

Mist soothed the struggling Marquis
“You can’t. Glenn is waiting for Princess with a nefarious plot! It’s a trap, you mustn’t let Princess Rosé get here!!”

I can guess somehow.

The real Marquis Isky sought out his son’s plot, failed somehow, and some time before we came here he was locked down in a cell. That should be the gist of it.

“Master….. Your son has already taken over the residence, Princess is also…”

“My son is dirtying Her Highness the Princess’ body…. I have no excuse to His Highness the King who granted me this peerage…”

Mist gripped his hand to cheer him up and said…

“It’s impossible. His plan is perfect. Nobody can stop him”

“Him…. that servant?”

“That man with thin arms, what can he do. Glenn is my son, rotten as he is. The difference in strength is clear”

I’m an ordinary high schooler, not even in a sports club, much less a warrior, it’s clear that I can’t win against Glenn.

I stopped Mist who was going to cover for me.

Marquis immediately showed a surprised face.

“I don’t know, but, if I give in to fear here Princess Rosé isn’t going to be saved. Also, a childhood friend of mine is cowering in the residence somewhere, I have to hurry”

“Hahaha…. So you don’t know the name Isky. You snotty servant. But you got it right… names don’t mean squat now”

A blue ring and a red ring.

” ‘Open‘,” he chanted.
A pair of metal boots appeared before me.

“This ring contains invisibility magic. It can only be used once to disappear for a few seconds. That shin guard is something used when sending a fresh recruit out to the battlefield. It increases your leg strength by just a little bit. I originally hid it intending to use it to break out but …. I’m giving it to you”

“But how about Master?”

He did that to his own father….

“Go. You don’t have time to worry about me. Impertinent but brave servant… make sure you save the Princess”

I nodded and received the two items, then left the underground passage.
