"In life there are no coincidences." A man once said.
I introduce myself, I am Rudel van- my apologies, my mistake. As I was renamed, I no longer use that middle name.
I am Rudel von Bradford, the third son of a house of country barons. And I am a plain, simple, ordinary person. Anyone can verify that by looking at my dull black hair, my black eyes together with my pupils giving a terrifying look, the false bags under my eyes and my charmingly creepy smile.
My only wish in this new life is to live in peace.
That's right, I said new life since I am a reincarnate.
I died a tragic death and then woke up in this strange and cliché fantasy world.
Right now I was in the galley of my Schwert airship, a 200-meter airship, the hull was gray and the rest red to simulate that it was a fake ship, as it is a futuristic super airship disguised in reality.
The bow had a large horn, resembling a narwhal, being the reason for its name.
My reason for being here was not to get something to eat.
"Listen up, you, useless bunch!"
It was because of these pests in front of me.
"Just because you're here free of charge, doesn't mean you're going to live here doing nothing until we arrive!"
I was yelling at a group of annoying young men.
They were in a horizontal row.
To the right, in the last place was a petite girl wearing plain clothes with shorts.
She was Erselica van Reinfield, a reincarnate. Her hair was orange with three antennas growing like a carrot, her hazel eyes gave her a trait of being an endangered animal. This girl actually told me a horrible truth.
And that is, that this is a disgusting world inspired by a grotesque RPG game.
And I, your dearest and most harmless servant, am a despicable villain in turn.
She tried to kill me a few months ago, but now we've made peace. The reason? It's because this idiot is actually my cute cousin from my previous life whom I loved dearly, and still do, but after knowing what she wanted to do to me it makes me want to hit her really hard.
"It's not like we have a choice either you know? Given our situation we should be here, we don't like the idea of having to be in the same place with you."
The person telling me such idiocy was on the other end, and he was none other than the biggest idiot I've ever met. He had shiny silver hair and intense purple eyes.
His face gave the impression that he was a good and nice kid. Sadly, he is mentally retarded.
This idiot, Liam von Altfode, was not only the prince of the kingdom we came from. He was also, to my misfortune, the protagonist of this grotesque world.
"It is as His Highness says. Count Bradford, we are only obeying orders from Her Majesty the Queen."
Who supported the prince was one of his faithful friends and another main character. A handsome boy, tall, of slim build with good muscles, long greenish hair down to his back and eyes of the same color. Frey van Nightray, was the one who answered me politely, but I could tell from his tone that he disliked the situation.
"Hah, what are you talking about?"
I was asking him annoyed since they didn't realize the situation of why they were here.
"It's not like we want to study abroad either. Actually, we'd rather be back home."
Now the one who was annoying me with his idiocies was an ape-a tall, stocky boy, eyes and hair unruly red like his aptitude at folding his sleeves. He was the last main character, Chlust van Arses.
These three idiots, let's call them the three musket-idiots. They did things they shouldn't have a few months ago and as a consequence, the royal court and their families want to kill them. I don't know if figuratively or literally they want to do it.
But the point is, after ruining it, they lost their positions as heirs to their houses and also got kicked out. That idiot Liam is the worst of all since he is just an ex-prince with no right to anything.
I fear for the future of the kingdom.
"And you think I want to study? I mean, do you think I want to study with you?"
Why was this happening to me?
I remembered my reason why my plans were ruined by these guys.
◇
What is this?
I went into my room to rest after taking care of the guests who came upstairs, and upon entering I found a large cardboard box.
On top of it was a note that said fragile.
I removed the lid expecting to find a nice gift and what I found was....
"H-Hello..."
A person, Erselica was clutching her legs inside the box, her look was the same look you get when you go to meet a friend after painting their bathroom brown.
I immediately closed the lid. A force was coming from inside wanting to remove it so I used my muscle strength while reciting a mantra I learned.
"Uwohh, get out bad spirits! Bad spirits can't enter! Buddha namu amida butsu!"
But the next moment, my strength lost and I fell backwards as she came out screaming. "What's wrong with you!". And I replied in astonishment, "That's my line! What the hell are you doing here?"
At that instant, a red-eyed gray sphere appeared.
"It's about time. I wondered how long Erselica would wait without going to the bathroom."
This thing measuring the same size as a softball was an AI from an ancient civilization I called Ixion.
"Why is she here? Explain yourself Ixion."
With those words, a floating letter appeared out of nowhere and fell into my hands.
This boy said as he read it everything became clear.
◇
"Tell me it's a joke please..."
"I'd like it to be like that for me too..."
Bottom line. The letter was a detailed report from the queen about these four idiots.
Apparently, in just one week they had destroyed the territory they were given. I don't want to know how three teenagers could spoil a place with excellent land to harvest. Besides the fact that they spent all of the one year's allowance they were given to live without problems.
To make it worse, Erselica... since she's a small nuisance I'll call her Lolica. Well, they found assassins sent after her.
Fortunately, they were able to arrest them, but how they found out where they lived and how they got in is unknown, so their situation was unsafe.
The queen had no choice but to hide them outside while they secured the country for these four. So she contacted Ixion to tell me to keep them with me studying abroad.
But this scrap never told me about it, but, being a request from the queen. It is impossible for me to refuse, it would sadden me to see her beautiful face with tears. So, I will swallow my pride and my contempt for these idiots and keep them safe with me.
By the way, His Majesty the King, told me this in another letter.
"Wahahaha, how pathetic you are! From hero you go to babysitter. Well, I appoint you the royal nanny. Take care of those nuisances since no one else wants to. From your magnificent, gallant and handsome king, Le-."
I tore the letter to shreds after reading that I am his nanny. What's worse is that if he sent this to me, does it mean that at the embassy they must have been notified as well?
This son of a bitch is definitely my greatest enemy. I will kill him one day.
The other idiots were hiding in the hangar so I'll round them up to explain the situation.
◇
Worst of all, even explaining to them they don't understand.
I was scratching my head as I don't want to spend any more time with them.
"In any case. Since you are going to live here until we get to our destination, you are going to work in cleaning, the only job you can do, don't even madly dream that I will let you touch the kitchen."
"You're going to force His Highness to clean!" Frey's voice was very loud because of what I said.
"It's like you hear, you go to work, get off your asses and grab a broom, some rags with buckets and get to cleaning this place."
"You're serious!"
"I'm so serious. Hurry up or I'll use you guys as brooms. Sorry, but you guys will have to do it too so these idiots don't complain."
My gaze and tone shifted to a certain pair of unexpected guests.
They were two boys; the one on the left was a boy with glasses, attractive, light blue eyes and hair, his hair was covering his ears and eyebrows a bit.
On the other hand, the one next to him was a boy who reluctantly looked in my direction. he was also attractive like these idiots, his eyes and hair that reached his neck was with some spiky locks.
"I understand. It wouldn't be fair to His Highness and the others for us to do nothing, by the way, will you really put him to work?"
"Obviously... What was your name again?"
The bespectacled boy politely introduced himself once again.
"I am the son and heir to a house of counts. Warren von Gravel, again, a pleasure Count Bradford."
This boy, Warren, introduced himself to his father before he left. We talked about why he wanted to see me, and it turns out that his family was interested in investing in my family's territory. I liked the idea, but that had nothing to do with me. It seems that after the war they lost a lot of fleets and had already enrolled their son to study abroad, so they asked me to take him if it was no trouble.
I was going to refuse until I saw that he was accompanied by a certain boy.
I decided to accept because I wanted to bother him.
"This one... and who were you?"
I asked playfully to the bad looking boy.
He was answering me in a low voice. He kept doing so since he wasn't listening, which was untrue.
"I am the son of a marquis, Clovis von Arkwright, don't let it slip your mind!"
"Oh yes, I remembered, nice to meet you, Clover."
"That's not my name!"
Hearing that he was annoyed at being called that, I enjoyed teasing him.
"So… what?"
I looked at him in a cold manner as my tone that was also cold.
"Don't tell me you forgot that you left Alisa, the woman who could have been your betrothed, to her fate? Or that you sold me out to enemies to save your skin?"
This guy did nasty things in the past. It seems that after that incident, his family lost prestige and then their territory. His family name was all they had left. He also seems to be a close friend of Warren's, but I don't care, I let him up just to spite him.
Watching him squirm like a frightened puppy is gratifying.
"Your pay per day will be 300 zest. I'll change it to foreign currency."
In this cliché world it was normal for currency to be the simplest thing in the world. Copper, silver, gold and white gold. But people are not going to carry hundreds of coins in their wallets, that's why they created banknotes that are worth the same.
The banknotes of the kingdom are worth the same as gold coins. The "Extalia" from Aster, on the other hand, is worth three times as much. That is to say, a copper coin of the kingdom in Aster is worth nothing, the same for silver and, unfortunately, for gold. Only white gold is worth something abroad.
It seems that the difference between a poor and small country compared to a power is abysmal thanks to inflation.
They complained that the pay was little, but these idiots don't know that by giving them money every day, which to top it off is the savings I had saved along with what my father gave me, I am giving them from my own pocket. To hate them more, I am poorer than you!
"That's fine with me, since thanks to these guys we don't have a home or food."
The rude tone was from a servant. A brat named Allen, brown hair and scarlet eyes.
Beside him a girl with cinnamon skin, black hair and eyes cheerfully dressed as a servant was preparing to clean.
"Erselica-sama, thanks to the count, we don't have to worry about what to eat tomorrow or where to sleep."
"That's right Cana, thanks to onii- Rudel-kun, we can live well and earn some money. you two, let's work hard!"
"Yes!"
Watching how these three little guys are working hard to make up for what they lost because of these idiots, I feel a sense of pity for them.
◇
After sending them off to clean up at different places, I took the opportunity to take Lolica to my room to consult on what I will be doing.
We are heading to a country called Aster Supreme Kingdom. A country that is both an energy, industrial and economic powerhouse more than anything else.
They seem to be more advanced than any country in the entire world, as they use lost objects found over the years.
My reason for being here was to look for a super weapon, steal it and thus avoid the calamity to come in the future.
Stealing a weapon is an easy thing to do, but getting it out was difficult. Until she made me make an idiotic face after hearing more details she didn't tell me before.
"Uh... did you make a mistake?"
"Not exactly... it's true that it's a weapon, but not that kind of weapon. It's actually... an ally."
My face couldn't express how bad I felt knowing that my infiltrator spy plan went down the drain.
"A-and how did we accomplish that?"
"Let me clarify in more detail since I remembered more things."
"In this bonus content, that's where a generic development occurs. That was Liam's harem plan."
My face twisted as I heard that.
"The game had romance stuff in it, but that was because in another department they were developing a game. A dating simulator, apparently the producer of Liam's game was fired and they used the guy overseeing the dating game."
That sounds pretty awful.
"The developers and programmers on both sides got along very well despite being from different genres. As a result, it came out that some of them were going to work for the opposite side as they found it interesting to make a mix."
Those guys should have been fired.
"As a result, Liam's game was a hit. In contrast, the dating simulator was much more successful thanks to the elements used in both."
"Are you kidding! Did shit like that really work?"
"Believe it or not it's true, continuing."
"Liam's game gained popularity because of its visual novel style. That's why they decided to throw in a harem. Personally, I didn't mind since I was just concentrating on buying the boys' swimsuit accessories."
I can see why the women weren't complaining.
"Here's the thing. That ally I'm telling you about is actually a member of his harem. At this stage you had the choice of falling in love with her or having her fall in love with one of the capture targets."
"Capture targets?"
"Right, I didn't tell you. Liam's game was originally going to be an otome game. Where the main character, Irisdina, was supposed to romance Liam or the four who are the ones you already know."
I'm going to puke from what I heard.
"But they changed that by reversing the roles. That's why I think the old producer was fired."
"Enough, skip those absurd details. Get to the point."
"Okay. In Aster, there is a big tree. They call it the Sacred Tree, it's as big as a mountain, it's responsible for supplying a huge magic stone called an orb."
"I heard about that, that orb produces 100 times more power than a normal magic stone. And the kingdom is importing many more after the war."
"In the past, the kingdom tried to invade them, as any country wishes to have an inexhaustible source of power. But thanks to that very thing, is that Aster was able to defeat the kingdom and all their enemies by calling themselves as 'invincible in attack and defense' being their reason for such an egocentric name."
Makes sense to me.
"Now to the heroine. According to the story, in the past there were seven aristocratic families who ruled. But one day, one of those seven betrayed the main house, which is a matriarchal house, and they became the Six Great Nobles. No one knew who did it since that was one of the mysteries to solve of this game."
It really does seem mysterious and interesting from that perspective.
"Fortunately I remember who did it. The current head of the Rosenberg Household who is also acting chairman of the nation."
Thanks for ruining my surprise!
"The heroine lives undercover as the daughter of a crumbling baronet's household. One day, Liam ran into her, this and that happened, and he ended up learning her secret."
"Wait, what the hell was Liam doing there in the first place?"
"I don't know. Rather, it was never explained exactly what Liam was planning on going there."
Truly those developers are scum.
"After the secret was discovered, that's where the story gave you a choice in whether you want to conquer it. Or, if you want to help one of the sons of the noble houses fall in love with her."
"In the case of the former, you dueled with them and recruited them since you had no allies."
"The head of Rosenberg Household has two children; a younger son and an older daughter who is in her third year, all things being equal. That daughter is the villainess, her role is similar to Alicelotte's."
"In the end, they accepted your love to her since, for her people, the heroine received the title of Priestess of the Sacred Tree. An existence that unites the people and the tree so as to achieve a life full of happiness."
"Contrast to that, if you chose the option to help them, you would equally duel since you need allies, as Rosenberg Household is your enemy in either."
"I understand. And, that Rosenberg guy is the final boss isn't he?"
"No. The final boss is the sacred tree."
"Huh? Wait, you said they need the tree. Why is it now an enemy?"
"That's because the heroine is kidnapped by the boss of the house. In the past, he was going to be the husband of the last head of the heroine's house, but apparently she left him at the altar and swore revenge."
I understand that, but it's very extreme in his desire for revenge.
"As time went by, he became ambitious and spiteful to everyone. For that reason, he uses the power of the priestess and becomes the Guardian of the Sacred Tree, the title given to the man who plays her husband. He, uses that to merge with the tree as Liam and the others were going to stop him, but he preferred to make a suicide attack and raze everything to the ground. If he is not stopped, he will advance to the kingdom and destroy it, but if we win. In the end, Liam saves the day in both versions along with the priestess, thus achieving the happy ending for Aster, making him an ally of the kingdom and preparing for the great war."
My head hurts, that's a lot of information to process. More so those cheesy crazy things about the power of love and other cliché stuff.
"I get it all, what's the heroine like?"
Lolica finished munching on a cookie and with her mouth full answered me.
"Umm, in the description they gave her they put that she was a cheerful girl, introverted, super friendly with everyone, but reserved. There were terrific reviews about how she was better than the nasty co-star who only has flowers on her head and captivates everyone with her slutty body."
I nailed the knife to the table I was cutting meat with when I heard something unforgivable.
"Don't you dare ever speak trash of Airi again, I'll kill you if you do!"
"Are you forgetting that your life is in my hands and I can kill you at any time!"
"Sorry, it was a joke, don't take it so personally!"
This bitch forgets that, thanks to her, her life is in danger and only I can save her.
I drank water to relax and empty my desire to slit her throat for badmouthing my girlfriend.
It certainly sounds good to say that. Girlfriend, and not just one, two in fact.
Two wonderful, lovely girls who are my invaluable friends and also my fiancées.
Alisa and Airi, I really love and miss them.
I totally relaxed and asked her an important detail.
"What is her appearance and name?"
Lolica was still scared, but she answered me calmly.
"S-She's our age, her hair is tied in two back pigtails, her hair is platinum blonde, and her name is Diana Algrand."
"With that information, I feel it will be a little difficult to search. There must be many girls who have that color and hairstyle, the name I don't know, but according to information from the queen. It seems that commoners use surname and go to school as well. Maybe their surname is a generic one, but in any case we have plan B."
"Plan B?"
Lolica asked very curious.
"That's right, we will destroy with Ixion's main body the tree in case something bad happens."
"Do you really want to do that?"
I looked at Ixion who was cleaning the shelf.
"What do you mean?"
"Master, analyze what she said."
Lolica shouted, then I since I understood.
I didn't realize, since I didn't take into consideration the main factor.
"I have no problem destroying the tree. But if I do, it is possible that Aster will be destroyed in passing. To be destroyed in its entirety or to be destroyed economically are your options."
It is just as he says. That country is a power, taking down a power brings consequences, and more so when the kingdom imports magic stones and innocent lives are involved.
In fact, is Ixion omitting the possibility of causing genocide? This scrap that a few months ago wanted to destroy the kingdom and incidentally the world, for not being worthy of ancient humanity.
Must he have gotten bored with having an eighth grade complex?
"Y-You're right, let's better forget that and concentrate on making Liam fall in love with her as soon as possible."
"..."
"What's wrong?"
For some reason, Lolica, looks at me in panic. I'm not upset anymore so you don't need to look like a hamster.
"Brother... I think it's better the option of her falling in love with one of those guys."
"What do you mean?"
Her mouth moved in a trembling manner, and incredible words came out of it.
"Before I came here, I asked him if he would be interested in any legal wives, considering our situation. He said it will never happen."
Liam, the stupid prince of my kingdom, was one of Lolica's lovers. She had three boyfriends, those three boyfriends were idiots who screamed they loved her.
From what she says, I think it's true.
The situation is bad.
"W-Well. I'm sure, one of those guys would be happy to be the next Acting Chairman of the country. W-We'll help them in any way we can from the shadows."
"I-I agree."
Both Erselica and I were scared. The fate of the world, hinges on a teenage romance. What a disgusting world I'd come to.
"Bradford, I have a question."
Suddenly the door opened, it was Liam walking in.
"What time is the..."
After opening it fully, Erselica and I stood in different places to pretend we were cleaning. We weren't doing anything wrong, but this idiot caused a big problem because of a mistake and I don't want to repeat it.
"What do you want?"
I was asking him in a normal way as I was cleaning the table.
He was giving me a dirty look.
"What is Erselica doing here?"
Erselica, who was awkwardly sweeping the floor at the other end of the room. She addressed him by her suspicious tone.
"Liam, we're cleaning up. If you're not finished and want to lounge around, don't bother."
He ran to her and took her hands.
"Erselica, this guy didn't do anything to you! He didn't touch you or suggest anything?"
I directed my gaze full of contempt at him.
Instead, she just looked at him with disinterest.
"Liam, this guy has fiancées."
"So what! This man shamelessly harassed my mother, the queen. So it's obvious he would do it to a beauty like you as well."
She blushed at being called a beauty.
"Don't worry, the harassment of your mother happened because she- I mean! I'm only interested in women with curves like your mother's- I mean! Breasts, I'm only interested in women with big breasts like your mother-."
Every time I opened my mouth I only made the situation worse, so in a quick manner I came out saying that I had stomach pain.
◇◇◇
Rudel hurried out of his room leaving Liam and Erselica alone.
He looked at her worriedly.
"I'm serious, I don't trust that guy at all! I don't care if he wants to touch my mother, but on the other hand if it's you, that does affect me."
Erselica face made a bad expression when she heard that Liam thought something happened or may happen between the two of them.
"Don't talk nonsense. That will never happen, and worry more about your mother, if the worst really happens. You can call him 'daddy' one day."
Liam made a disgusted face at the thought of that.
"I don't care who my mother messes with. Like my father, her privacy is none of my business. The royal family has already had problems like that from illegitimate or usurping children. But in my case it's different."
His hands clasped hers tightly.
"The only woman in my life is and always will be you. I wish no one to be my wife but you."
Instead of blushing, she became annoyed.
"Hah? Again the foolishness of abandoning the thundering with you. I would never agree to let you do that, I'm willing to be your concubine, but don't throw the crown on the floor so quickly!"
Erselica removed her hands and headed for the door.
"As punishment, tonight you will go without affection."
Liam was startled to hear that.
"Hey, please, last shift was Chlust and now it was mine!"
Liam ran out after her, but didn't find her. Who he did find was Ixion who was floating by with some cleaning robots.
Seeing him, Liam called out to him.
"Hey, your master might want to cheat on his fiancées, you should keep an eye on him."
As Ixion ignored him, Liam reached out to touch him. When his fingertips touched Ixion's cold, spherical body.
Ixion turned to look at him. His gaze was stern as his one eye was completely reddened.
The other robots also turned to look at him, and in a cold and somber tone, Ixion shouted at Liam.
"Don't you ever touch me with your filthy hands again, you, miserable life that needs oxygen to subsist!"
"If it weren't for the master, both you and the kingdom would be shattered from the start!"
Ixion glared intently at Liam. At that moment, Rudel came in rubbing his stomach.
"Ixion, I'm hungry."
He immediately turned to look at his master. His intense tone and bright red eye along with the other robots returned to normal.
"Master, it is 45 minutes until lunch time. I ask you to wait a little while."
"Huh, that long? But I'm hungry~."
"... It can't be helped. I'll start serving the dishes. Today's menu is squid dipped in green sauce."
"Oh, that sounds good."
Ixion hovered at Rudel's right shoulder as he seemed to somehow spoil a spoiled child.
Liam just stood there watching the whole thing, he was sweating.
"W-what the hell was that!!!"
◇◇◇
Altfode Kingdom's academy.
In a room for female students. There was Irisdina- Airi.
She was an ordinary girl with a secret that very few knew. That was that she possessed a healing type magic.
In the game, she was Liam's destined mate. It was also her future to become an existence known as Saint.
But now she lived happily together with the people she loved despite being of commoner origin.
Her appearance was that of a beautiful girl with short bob style light blonde hair. Her eyes were a beautiful blue that is compared to the sky and the sea.
She was in her underwear, as she was changing for class.
The academy had problems due to the war, but they have reopened normally.
"Huh, can't it be?"
She was having trouble with her bra.
"It's the third time in a month that I've bought new ones."
The reason was that her breasts were growing. She was a healthy girl, it's normal for her body to grow, from before, her breasts were already big, bigger than average. But now they were growing to a level where she wondered if she was getting fat.
"I don't want to buy more... I guess I'll have to wear it, even if it's tight."
Airi struggled to close the bra, but in an attempt to force it closed, one of the front buttons flew off.
"Kyahh!"
She screamed as she saw the button bounce off and then land on her feet.
"Airi, did you not wake up yet?"
The door was knocked on by someone, it was her friend.
"Yes."
Airi replied oblivious to her situation.
The door was opened and Airi desperately tried to cover herself with something. But she inadvertently stepped on the button and fell on the floor.
When the person who knocked on the door entered. She found a strange good morning.
Airi's butt was pointed in her face.
"Is it perhaps some kind of morning exercise?"
The girl, Alicelotte von Bismarck- Alisa, was called by her important people.
Like Airi, she was a character in the game, but her role was that of a nasty envious woman who would not stand the happiness of a commoner with the prince. But that outcome never happened and now, they are the best friends anyone would wish to have, so much so, that they call each other 'sisters' from another mother.
Alisa was a Duke's daughter, the highest cradle of high society after the royal family. Her appearance was that of a beautiful young woman with golden blonde hair. Her hair was originally long, but was tied in a braid behind her ears that went over her head in a bow and a slight ponytail.
Her eyes were fire red, giving her a stern and strong look, but at the same time a soft and pleasant charm like a rabbit. The most remarkable feature, was not that her uniform was no longer white due to the new administration of the academy, let alone that her black pantyhose was now red. Rather, that despite being a teenager, her breasts were larger than any known woman. It bothered her that they were so large since she had to buy custom-made bras. Apparently, Airi was also growing to that size as the difference in their measurements was only three cups.
"Geez~, Alisa you're cruel."
"Sorry, it's just that it's an unexpected sight."
Alisa laughed seeing her friend on the ground. Before going over to help her up, she took a moment to have a strange thought.
(Her butt is big, perhaps, bigger than mine?)
She reached out her hand to help pull her to her feet, then handed her light blue blouse with her jacket. On the jacket was embroidered near the heart a crest.
That coat of arms represented that Airi was recognized by the royal court as a knight, despite not having the lineage of one, much less being a man.
After putting on her blouse to cover her breasts, Airi noticed something floating near Alisa. It was a white colored sphere similar to Ixion, but its eye was green in color and its aptitude like its personality was more pleasant than that of its superior.
"Bell-chan, good morning."
The sphere was Bellion, but was called Bell. It floated cheerfully near Alisa's right shoulder.
"Airi, we have mail from Rudel."
Airi almost jumped for joy when she heard that.
A few months ago, they and Rudel were engaged. They had to cheat on him since he was a fearful and cowardly man, but they didn't care about that and loved him just the way he was. In fact, they preferred him that way since if he was a ladies' man. Perhaps he would have been engaged to other girls or many more.
In Alisa's left hand was a freshly printed letter. In this world there was no technology to do so, but Rudel decided to cheat at life by creating items that would benefit him both personally and financially.
"The letter doesn't look normal at all. what was this called, email?"
"That's right. there's no way we can communicate in a way by video calls or voice messages. So this is the most primitive solution possible."
"Umm, I didn't get that at all. But as always, Rudel-san and his mysterious things are amazing!"
"Certainly, the power of a lost item is amazing. But a means by which you can write letters without using your hands, and be able to send them so quickly, it's a great thing to be alive and be able to witness that."
"Hearing you two talk wonders about science is a compliment that makes me blush to the point of wanting to cover my face. Even though I don't have one since I'm not human."
They both began to read the letter with glee as Bell turned her circular body.
"My dear wonderful fiancées whom I love more than money or sleeping all day. how are they doing, are they sleeping well, is Bell not causing them any trouble, does some bastard like me want to get close to them?"
They laughed as he began with comments that reminded them that it was truly her boyfriend writing this.
Bell floated merrily and then, she noticed that the faces of both of them gave a somewhat disturbed expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Well, Rudel is complaining that His Highness and the others are causing them trouble and that he didn't know they were on board. I knew it, but I didn't want to tell him as it would be too much trouble for me to send them away as soon as I saw them."
It was a request from the queen to Alisa not to tell him, she agreed, but she did not like lying to her future husband. More because Erselica, the woman who pretended to be a saint, who almost destroyed together with a traitor her house and above all who humiliated her together with her friend, was in the same place as her betrothed.
Rudel told them that he only saved her out of pity, but both were puzzled since sacrificing their island for someone is not something that pity can achieve. In the end, they both believed him, but they didn't like the idea of the two of them being in the same place.
"The master wouldn't have sent them away if he knew their circumstances. But he certainly would have if he was told he was going to be everyone's babysitter."
They both made a bitter expression as that too was told to them. It was the only way to protect them, there is no safer place than by the side of the Hero of the Realm.
They continued reading the letter with their usual smile.
"Today Liam got on my nerves! The idiot didn't know how to clean a toilet, so I dunked his head in it. I laughed so hard, but that idiot grabbed me and placed a bucket of dirty water on my head. We both proceeded to kick each other's asses until Ixion electrocuted us."
The comments were getting weirder and weirder, Airi told Alisa her opinion on how weird it was.
"I don't think they're complaints, rather, aren't you telling us that you're having a lot of fun?"
"C-Certainly, despite saying that they make him angry, he always writes that they got to play cards or shoot at the monsters approaching the airship."
"Rudel-san, is he making friends with them?"
"I'd like to see his relationship with His Highness improve, but I don't think this is called 'friendship'. Look, it says here that he gave a laxative to one Clovis."
The letter was long and strange, at the end, he ended the message by saying something that made them both smile from the bottom of their hearts.
"I want to go home, I miss you two so much."
"We miss him too, but this is a unique opportunity for him to learn more about the world. You know Rudel never does anything willingly, so this field trip is a special opportunity."
"That's right, Rudel-san will try hard abroad! We can't lose to him!"
Airi exclaimed raising her fists while showing an intense gleam in her eyes.
"That's right. By the way, Airi, didn't you have a meeting today with the scholarship students?"
"Oh no, I'm late, I have to go now!"
"Airi."
Airi ran to the door until Alisa stopped her with her voice, turning to see her and asking what was wrong.
"You're going like that?"
She noticed that she was in her underwear. So, she covered herself in an embarrassed manner and let out an adorable "Kyah!". Which made Alisa smile and murmur. "An awkward Airi in the morning is a good way to start the day, hahaha."
Bell saw that, and mysteriously her green eye glowed.
How are you my dear readers? Once again, the author that many love is back. This time I'm back in a ghostly way since I'm busy with annoying matters so I'll upload chapters when I can.
This time it's Rudel volume 4, which tells the story of how Razel's game originated.
Welcome to the multiverse!
