Chapter 105: 105. Another Summoned Person?
Speaking of Hiiro, he was someone who didn't want to be someone's subordinate. If Avoros invited Hiiro, and Hiiro turned him down in a rude manner, there was no doubt that Avoros would kill him while he could. Hiiro possessed such versatile magic, and if he refused to join Avoros, he would definitely kill him, due to his existence that would get in his way.
"Anyway, you guys should have known Hiiro's real identity, am I right?"
Izumi crossed his arms while saying so. Liliyn, Shamoe, and Silvan glanced at each other. Liliyn felt that Izumi already knew who Hiiro was. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked that question so casually. Since Izumi seemed to know Hiiro before them, Liliyn answered.
"Yeah, I know. He told us when he visited my mansion."
Izumi wiggled his index finger left and right while saying, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. You must have forced him, right? Back then, his level was still low against you guys. The last time I saw him, his level was still around 30. If he was stronger than you, I'm sure he'd have run away first."
Liliyn stunned. She wondered if Izumi was an esper or something. "Does he have the ability to see the past? Or can he read someone's mind?" That was Liliyn's thought.
Surprisingly, Izumi replied just after Liliyn had that thought.
"I can't read your mind you know, don't think anything weird!"
From Liliyn's expression, Izumi could tell that she thought that Izumi could read her mind.
Izumi only knew that Hiiro's level when he met Silvan half a year ago had not yet reached level 100. Because Liliyn was very curious about Hiiro, Liliyn forced him to reveal his identity even though he was reluctant. Hiiro was 50 levels away from Liliyn at that time, so it was only natural that Hiiro couldn't do anything against her.
"As expected, you can read people's minds! No wonder you know everything!" Liliyn's expression darkened. And she suddenly blushed. The reason being, in her mind, Liliyn was well aware that she had feelings for Hiiro. But, because of her pride, she didn't dare to confess her feelings at all. And if Izumi could read a person's mind, then all her secrets including her interest in Hiiro were already known.
In fact, Izumi didn't understand why she was blushing. Izumi laid his back against the sofa once again. After feeling relaxed, he asked her.
"Sooner or later, Hiiro would go back to his world. What would you do after that?"
"Huh?" Liliyn was dumbfounded.
"Why are you even surprised? You like him, are you?"
"T-that's not what you think. I mean, it's just, there's no way to send people back to their world after they were summoned to this world. And more importantly, he won't go anywhere." She was flustered at first, but get back to normal after a moment.
"Is that what you think?"
"He promised me something."
"Promising you something doesn't mean he will not leave this world. There is magic to summon someone to this world. In that case, there must be a reverse." Izumi stated. Liliyn couldn't respond at all. She didn't know what to do if Hiiro intended to leave this world after helping her.
"Sigh. I'm not trying to pressure you. I just want you to decide what if Hiiro leaves this world. Are you gonna follow him, or maybe you stay? It's up to you to decide. If you want, I can help you, you know."
"Let me think about that." Liliyn couldn't decide yet. She wanted to know what was on Hiiro's mind first by asking him. Only if she already knew Hiiro's future objective would she make up her mind.
"By the way, did he say how he ended up in this world?" Izumi asked.
Liliyn raised her head. Izumi seemed to know everything. Even Hiiro, who came from another world, couldn't escape his eyes. Since Izumi already knew, Liliyn nodded.
"Yeah, he said he was from another world. I didn't believe it at first either. Truth to be told, he was accidentally summoned into this world along with the four heroes and another innocent bystander just like him."
"Wait a minute! You said, apart from Hiiro, there was an innocent bystander summoned by accident as well?" Izumi exclaimed. This was different from the original storyline. In the original storyline, Hiiro was summoned along with four heroes. But here, there is one more person who was accidentally summoned to this world.
Izumi couldn't help but think, this might be the reason why the system gave him a Transmigration Card. Although the storyline still bears similarities to the original, there are two factors that make it different. Izumi and another summoned person. With those factors in, there might be quite a significant difference when the demon lord attends the conference at Holy Oldine next week.
No wonder he felt so restless recently. This might be the reason.
Since the plot was different from what Izumi knew, it would have been better if he had two backup plans, in case Avoros himself showed up.
"You did not know?" Liliyn noticed the change in expression shown by Izumi for a moment. But his expression calmed down instantly.
"No. I never imagined anyone else being summoned alongside the heroes other than Hiiro. Do you know who that person is?" Izumi just hope that person wasn't as stupid as the heroes.
"Who knows." Liliyn just shrugged her shoulders.
Izumi couldn't help but sigh when he heard about that person's bad luck.
"You seem to care about a summoned person from another world. How strange you are." Liliyn glanced at Izumi who seemed to be siding with the summoned person.
Izumi crossed his legs. He looked up at the ceiling in his mansion while saying without turning his gaze to Liliyn.
"They have nothing to do with this world. The problems of this world must be solved by the natives. Currently, heroes are foolish enough to believe that Evila is evil. If that person who was accidentally summoned doesn't want to fight and wants to find a way to return to that person's world, then I will help that person. And I'll find out who that person is during the conference."
"The problem of this world must be solved by the natives, huh?" Liliyn murmured after she heard Izumi's words.
Their conversation stopped and made the atmosphere quite silent. If Izumi had known that someone else had been summoned to this world, he would have investigated it from the start. He didn't have time to investigate now as he wanted to devise backup plans first. So, he would do that investigation after the conference. It's a shame that ninjutsu can't be used in this world. If he could, he would definitely try using a shadow clone to find out that person.
Izumi turned to Liliyn.
"Anyway, I want to find Hiiro for a bit. Do you want to stay here while I look for him?"
However, Liliyn shook her head.
"We're going to the great library on some business."
"What's that? Don't tell me you want to get a level five permit from the great library?"
Level five permit is permission to read in the library that should only be allowed for the royal family.
"Is there anything wrong with that?"
"It's not a problem, but at a time like this, there's no way you'll get it." At a critical time like this, there was no way outsiders were allowed to just get a level five permit. The permit is divided into five. The first is for the public, the second is for merchants, the third is for the citizens who have lived in the city for ten years, the fourth is for the higher-ups in this country, and the fifth is for the royal family.
"If that's what you want, I can help you. But wait until the conference on the Humas continent is over!"
Hearing Izumi's words, Liliyn lit up her eyes and asked.
"Do you really want to help?"
Izumi just nodded. Then he stood up from his seat.
"You can stay here, you know, there are a lot of empty rooms here. And I'm going out for a bit."
Izumi walked out of the mansion while ignoring the others. Well, Izumi just thought that letting them stay in his mansion would improve security. It was as if Izumi thought of them as security guards.
"Hey wait a minute!" Liliyn called out to him, but he was further and further away from her sight. Silvan who was next to her also asked.
"What should we do young lady?"
"Since we're unlikely to get a level five permit from the grand library anytime soon, we can only wait."
And in the end, they looked for a room at Izumi's mansion, they could only wait for Izumi who had gone somewhere.
