Chapter 34.5 Sakura and Sakuya

—Sakura’s perspective—

When I have free time, I usually read a book in . It is a personal , and there’s only one room per person. By the way, newcomer slaves and recently-joined members, Lusia and Sakuya, don’t have one yet.

Since I can set this place to be soundproof, it is the best place to read books calmly. What is about my room in my former world? I don’t want to recall it.

My room is filled with books. With braids and eye gla.s.ses, I’m exactly like a book committee member, and my love for reading doesn’t go against this image. When I read a book, I can ignore the painful reality for a while. But in reality, I wasn’t a book committee member. I actually want to become one, but I feel sorry for other members who have to take care of an incompetent person like me.

I don’t need to worry anymore in this world. Besides, Jin-kun is here to protect me. Therefore, I don’t really need books, but I still have my old habit. By the time I noticed, my room was filled with a lot of books.

[Phew~]

I take a deep breath after I finish reading “Monster’s Ecology”. I’m an indiscriminate reader, but in the former world, I liked fantasy the most. Because it is the farthest from reality, it was great for escaping it. But now, I just smile awkwardly as I’m in the real fantasy world right now.

I never thought the hero who shone brightly in the story would be as disgusting as this, either. Oh, Maria is different.

*Knock*

While I was choosing the book I’m going to read next, there is a knock on the door. So I head to the door.

[Who’s there?]

[Ah, Sakura-san, I’m Sakuya.]

It seems the queen of this country is my guest.

[I’m going to open the door now.]

When I open the door, I see that Sakuya is wearing the white dress that Jin-kun gave her. I’m a little envious of her. No, I don’t envy her because she got it as a present.  Instead, I envy her because she can wear a pure and innocent, white dress so naturally.

[Sorry for disturbing you.]

[Is there something wrong?]

Since Sakuya-san and I don’t have much contact with each other, I don’t know the reason for her visit.

So I offer Sakuya-san a chair.

[Thank you. Actually, I have something to consult, Sakura-san…]

[Consult?]

Sakuya-san’s tone is less formal when she talks with Jin-kun, but it’s very formal when she talks with anybody else. It isn’t for me to say,

but I think she opened her heart to Jin-kun to a greater than ordinary degree.

[Yes. About onii-chan’s subordinate.]

[Eh? Oh… I’m the only subordinate.  All of the other people are either slaves or are following monsters.]

That is our common point.

[Yes. So, what kind of demands does onii-chan want from subordinates?]

[Are you worried?]

It would be a lie if she didn’t become worried after becoming his subordinate so suddenly. It is natural to feel reluctance when a boy of the same age has full authority over one. However, at the same time, I want some kind of bond with Jin-kun, too.

Until now… n.o.body has been willing to protect me. I still remember the impression I had when Jin-kun said that for the first time. But now that we have more companions during our trip, I still get the feeling that I might be thrown away, too. When Jin-kun’s special power was revealed, I thought it was a chance. A chance to obtain the bond that is called “subordinate”. It’s a stronger bond that just being a travel companion. That kind of warped feeling doesn’t disappear, after all.

[No, I’m not worried. How should I put it? I hope to become subordinate on my own… I can feel relief only with onii-chan’s protection.]

I understand her feelings. I don’t know if it is the effect of or not, but it gives me peace of mind when I have this bond with Jin-kun.

[I mean, I want you to teach me what onii-chan wants from a subordinate? As for me, what can I do? What should I expect?]

What Jin-kun wants? Honesty, I don’t know either. Jin-kun wants me to create magic for him, but he never forces me to do it. Besides, due to problems with my imagination, I can’t make any attack magic, at all. Jin-kun’s att.i.tude didn’t change at all after he became aware of these problems.

[I don’t know what Jin-kun wants from us, either. All I can do for him is create magic…]

[No, I think that is a great contribution.]

[Not at all. This special power is useful, but it also has a lot of flaws…]

I know a lot of flaws, so I feel that it is unpleasant. Because I need Jin-kun’s help to use it, I feel that I’m nothing but a bothersome woman…

[Honestly, I don’t think Jin-kun is troubled by that.]

First, the problem about food has been fixed by . About our fighting power right now… I could say that we can conquer a country should we want to do so.

[I don’t think anyone will help me if I’m not useful. I just do what I’m asked to do.]

I make magic. Sakuya might have her authority. He said having a country isn’t necessary, but having a lot of authority in hand is convenient.

[You are right. It is like that, after all.]

It seems she came here with the same thought as me.

[Isn’t the fact that Sakuya-san is a queen the most convenient for Jin-kun?]

[Yeah, I think so. However, the favors I return for onii-chan’s kindness seem to be so miserable…]

I couldn’t tell whether it is positive or negative, either.

[But the only thing I can do is to start becoming a queen and ruling this country properly.]

[I think that is good, especially since Jin-kun really likes this country.]

[Thank you. Your advice has lifted a lot of weight from my mind.]

[That’s great.]

After that, we have a long, enjoyable conversation. Since other people tend to see us as their superiors, she might become a friend around the same age and s.e.x. Dora-chan is more like a pet…

Unfortunately, our friendly talk couldn’t include topic of our favorite people. Well, from the sound of it, that topic will just sour the mood…

After that, I talk with Sakuya-chan about sweets that haven’t been eaten yet, an interesting book, and lots of interesting things in this country.

[See you again later, Sakura-chan.]

[Yes, please come here to talk again, Sakuya-chan.]

Since it is quite late, I will stay here for the rest of the day. I don’t need to read a book anymore today since I can spend my time much happier than before.

I never thought I would be protected and have a friend of the same s.e.x like this.

Although I hate Eludia and those heroes, I still like this world a lot, primarily because it is giving me a chance to find happiness.
