Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai Chapter 9

My eyelids twitched. 

「Nnー」 

I open my eyes slowly. 

「Already morning uh ? 」 

I sit up my body. 

A purple colored bedroom with a calm atmosphere. 

「Where...is this ? 」 

Silence fell inside the bedroom. 

I felt my eyelids are so heavy because of sleepiness. 

And then... 

「Ah, rightー」 

I started to remember the things that happened to me yesterday. 

I was teleported to another world... 

That the world in front of me is another world. 

When such a warm care was given to me,I felt my heart tightened. 

I guess she's going to somewhere after she wakes up ? 

I felt the urge to go to the toilet. 

In the first place,does the water and sewers infrastructure already been implemented. ? 

d.a.m.n. 

I have to hold on for now,I should ask about it last night. 

I brush away the blanket and immediately rush out from the bedroom. 

In here I couldn't find the figure of Makina-san either. 

I took a glance at the room entrance. 

If that the case then it won't be strange for this place to have one or two toilets. 

I don't have much time left. 

Which remind me,other than the bedroom,there's another room connected to this Headmistress office. 

Furthermore, it considerably resembles the previous world western style toilet. 

But,right now such a thing is not important. 

『We』stare at each other while our body froze 

「.......You.」 

The one who broke the silence, with a condition of the lower half exposed (It's safe,I don't see the important part from this angle) and sit on the toilet,that person is Makina-san.  

By the way,she still wore her negligee. 

「I-I-I'm very sorry ! 」 

*Slam* 

And while letting my back slide on the door,I sit down weakly. 

My heart won't stop pounding. 

「Iー」 

I've done it. 

What am I doing?!

But, it's too late to regret it now. 

When I think finally it comes,my heartbeat becomes intense.  

I'm too ashamed to meet her. 

I took a distance from the door and prepare myself to perform dogeza 

At least, let's ask for forgiveness sincerely 

*creak*, the door open. 

「......what are you doing ? 」 

「This is called dogeza, in my previous country this is the highest form to express grat.i.tude, but in these days it represents the highest form of asking apology.」 

「And ? 」 

「Though I do not mind if you didn't forgive me, this time, I really do something unpleasant to you, I'm very sorry...」 

「Aah...If it's about what happen just now, since I didn't tell nor remind you anything about it, it's fine.」 

Without making any cynical remarks regarding the incident, Makina-san said those words lightly. 

「Eh ? 」 

I've reflexly raised my face from the unexpected outcome. 

And then with her thumb, she pointed at the toilet door. 

「 For now, go ahead ? 」 

「?」 

「What's the matter ? don't you want to use it ? 」 

「Ah.」 

Oh right. 

The moment she reminds me,Iーー 

「E-Excuse me ! 」 

I've gone inside the door in a hurry. 

* 

「Now then, about your future plan」 

I who evaded the worst situation to happen somehow (Though I got caught in another worst situation in a different meaning), in the Headmistress office receptionist s.p.a.ce, I and Makina-san face each other across the table. 

I wonder, is that her everyday clothes ? 

From last night until today, I wouldn't have the time to fill all the procedures. 

「First of all, in the present stage we need to talk to decide our plan 」 

「Yes.」 

「From now on,you'll attend the sacred tree cadet training academy」 

「Emm, May I ask a question ? 」 

I raised my small hand. 

「Sure.」 

「 what is「sacred tree cadet」,can you explain it ? 」 

「Let's see, with easy to understand words then, it's similar to a knight serving the King and the Sacred Tree. a knight, do you able to understand ? 」 

「 Well,Thanks to those words,somehow I'm able to grasp the image. 」 

Because the detailed explanation will be taught early in the cla.s.sroom,it is fine to understand that much for now, thus she add. 

「So, I will attend this academy, in pursuit to study and become that sacred tree cadet, is that right ?」 

「Yes more or less. howeverー 」 

「However ? 」 

「You're a person from another world that don't know anything about this world,  and even if you said『I'm an another world being who came from another world』,as expected no one going to believe you am I right? 」 

「.......that's true.」 

I can easily understand if I were to compare it with my previous world. 

Being able to read the Forbidden spell incantation aside, Makina-san who able to believe such a thing is certainly a special case. 

「Be that as it may a『birthplace』is also necessary.」 

「a birthplace eh ?」 

「Yes. If you were to lead an academy life,you might be asked by people about your hometown. thus a provisional birthplace is essential. 」 

Fumu. 

*ahem*, Makina-san cleared her throat. 

「Therefore I have a good idea.」 

As expected of Headmistress. 

Still, being provisional aside, just what kind of birthplace would it be, I wonder ? 

Just a little bit, I break into a smile. 

How should I put this, it feels amazing to be able to feel like a protagonist.

「To feel such feeling...」 

As I strengthen myself, Makina-san begins to talk. 

「You're an eastern country citizen,who come to this country from the deep mountain where not many people come near it.」 

「I see, I see.」 

I lean myself forward while listening to the explanation with full of expectation. 

「Because of being brought up in the deep of the mountain all the time, you're able to hold a conversation, however, you're hardly know anything about the world.」 

「I see.」 

「One day, there is a person from Sacred Tree who doing special mission visited the deep mountain in the eastern country. However,he got himself an unexpected serious injury. when that sacred tree cadet who could not move because of the injury began to give up, you by some chance helped him. 」 

「...I see」 

「At that moment, the Sacred Tree cadet who was impressed by your unpolished talent who live deep in the mountain, invited you whether you want to become a Sacred Tree cadet. and then, he wrote a letter of recommendation for Sacred Tree cadet candidate for you 」 

「...unpolished talent.」 

「Then you are being accepted.  the reason why your name didn't exist in the sacred tree cadet candidate list, that's because I forgot to process the letter of recommendation, well,let's just go with that.  as for the entrance exam, it's a special case where I've personally decided your enrollment. 」 

「.....I see」 

「R-Rest a.s.sured ? the others would think because the one who asked come from a Sacred Tree cadet it can be trusted.  then we also need to explain this to the three people who also present in the time of forbidden spell incident,so that we can arrange the same alibi beforehand. and of course, we don't have to tell them the part which you're coming from another world. 」 

「....Iー..see」 

「As for collapsing near the academy gate at the same time as entrance ceremony, hmm let see...let's go with, since you have a body that easy to get hungry,you'd fainted due to being hungry」 

「Starving...」 

「How about it ? I think there's no flaw in it and it's a perfect setting  」 

.............. 

Sagara Kurohiko a starved wild child who came from another country. 

In the first place, what is eastern country? Judging from the way she said it, it's a foreign nation ? 

But, it's probably because her expression which made me unconsciously agree with it. 

Although there's no meaning to think about it again either... 

Above all, she know the detailed circ.u.mstance of this word,this academy and also myself. 

My stomach screamed, I guess unable to endure hunger anymore. ? 

「I-I'm sorry...」 

「Ara~, are you hungry ?」 

「Yes, well..that is since yesterday I haven't eat anything.」 

Since I'd came here,I haven't eaten anything at all. 

Shorthand(Hour),and Longhand(Minutes). 

I think the calculation of the time is also similar. 

That is might be just my mind mysteriously made a conversion to the previous world unit without my permission. 

Just as I watch the clock, the clock ticked exactly at『7:00』. 

In other words, is it okay to think that right now is 7 a clock in the morning?

The girl who was standing over there then bows respectfully. 

「Please excuse me.」 

Wearing a deep indigo blue one piece ap.r.o.n dress, and also a hairband with frill. 

「M-Maid-san ? 」 

A real one ? 

Huh ? 

Such sweet smile. 

「Ah, H-h.e.l.lo.」 

I answer her smile with a nod while feeling fl.u.s.tered. 

I mean, showing such a wonderful smile which can blow any ordinary man toward me. 

Is that ,the one that usually being used by a room service at hotels ,but aren't service wagon at a hotel usually a guy ?? 

A salad, sandwich and also a warm soup... 

Makina-san, show a composed expression as if saying this is a usual everyday scene. 

The Maid-san correct her posture formally. 

「She's a maid who work under me, her name is Mia」 

「Mia Posta. pleased to meet you.」 

The maid-saーーMia-san,bow slightly her head politely. 

「A-Ah,my name is Sagara Kurohiko,  emm, Makina-san...about Mia-sanー」 

「Seeing your reaction,it seems like this is your first time to see a demi-human isn't it ?」 

Reading the question from my expression, Makina-san said so after she sip some milk. 

「She's a demi-human race from Feril clan」 

「Feril clan ?」 

Once again I take a look at Mia-san 

Right. 

The ears furs have the same color as her very long violet hair. 

If I look more properly, I could see a violet tail under her skirt. 

Mia-san who seems notice me,shrink her shoulder looking embarra.s.sed. 

「I-I'm sorry. I felt curious and somehowー」 

R-Right. 

............. 

How should I say it, she's a very good person.
