Chapter 46: Return To The Princess (Part 1)
After mourning and saluting the soldiers' graves in the Second World War, we got back to our previous place, I saw that Hatano had now done crying but she kept whispering some words in her mouth but we cannot hear.
Maybe I should let her alone for a while, Hatano's eyes were now a bit tired, she didn't sleep much. Maybe I should tell her to rest when we returned to Yura's house.
After going outside of the hidden room, King Ralla finally turned the wall up, all of us going outside of the warehouse.
While going out, I targeted my eyes at two ammo crates, maybe I should call two of my subordinates to do the reloading...or I will do that myself.
Hatano now needed to sleep and also to calm her mind, order her to reload my M4's ammo was quite rough for her. Maybe I would order Sarah.
"Sarah, take my rifle to the ammo crates for the rearm."
"Eh!" - Sarah was very surprised to hear
"Commander...you used...up...your rifle's ammo...?" - Hatano asked me while keeping her usual way of talking
"That's a long story, Sarah, you do the reloading. Hatano, about you, go get some sleep, you are very tired now."
"I...will stay...with...Sarah..." - If that was Hatano's wish, okay! But I should remind Sarah to tell her big sister to sleep
"Sarah, remember to tell Hatano to sleep! Only you do the reloading."
Then Sarah made a sigh then took my M4, King Ralla cast the Keep magic on two ammo crates then Sarah went toward the crates to do the reloading for my rifle.
About Hatano, she was also helping Sarah with the reloading though I told her to sleep, maybe my orders to Hatano were nothing but trash through her ears.
"Sis, please sleep! Commander said you are sleepy." - Sarah had now asked Hatano to sleep, she may now notice that Hatano had behaved to have one eye close, one eye open and repeatedly yawning
"Sis, you can sleep between my thighs, let me do the reload."
Then Hatano slept on Sarah's thighs, that was the wish of every boy, but maybe I should not disturb these girls at this time, just let them be.
I was thinking about going to Warsaw Kingdom, I wanted to meet Shera and Reimi as soon as possible now, to send them the letters that Mentor Lerer gave me.
And also, I wanted to meet Hoster, that guy wouldn't survive for long, like I said to Shera, I spared him that time, but not this time. If he showed me hostility next time, I would kill him right away, I didn't care if Shera begged me to spare her brother or not.
"Hero, what's wrong?" - King Ralla asked me when he saw I was thinking too much
"Oh, nothing, King Ralla! I was just thinking about going to Warsaw Kingdom."
"You need to do something important there, hero?"
"Yes, I want to head to its Capital City, I want to go there because there are things I need to do there."
"If you Hero said that then I would prepare for you the way to go there as fast as possible."
"You Hero, do you want me to get three of you thereby Teleport Magic?" - King Ralla suddenly said that to me, but what was the price for using that magic, he wanted us to pay something?
"What's the price for the three of us to use that magic, King Ralla?"
"Nothing, Hero!" - King Ralla said that but I felt very odd
"Why, King Ralla?"
"Because the three of you are the Heroes from other world."
"Maybe you lack information, Hero, let me explain."
"Every human's Kingdom has a ceremony every ten years they will choose a Kingdom by voting to let that country hold the ceremony to summon a hero from another world."
"But there will be some exceptions, like the two Heroes that appeared here 500 years ago. They appeared when this world was in danger so the appearance of the three of you must be a signal of something like that" - Okay! King Ralla must have misunderstood
But if our appearances here were not coincidences then there would be like what he said, what should I do now?
But why do I feel something that odd, Princess Shera told me that this world had only a continent, she lied to me? Why?
King Ralla while explaining to us the chronicles of those two WW2 Heroes, he mentioned more than one continent.
"King Ralla, please tell me how many continents and many countries this world has, I want to know more fully."
"Yes, Hero! At present, this world has a total of 5 continents, Human continent, Eft - Beastman continent because we and the beastmen joint living together. Dwarf continent, Ashura continent and Demonic continents."
About the countries, there are a total of 24 countries if we according to all five continents, would you like me to tell you all the countries' names, Hero?"
"No, King Ralla! It's enough, thanks for your information."
For some reason, Shera had made an excuse to me by mixing these continents into one, what was her purpose?
But Shera was not a bad person according to me, she doubted me, I also doubted her, we were all the same.
"Just tell me when, King Ralla! I will tell my subordinates to leave when you are ready to teleport us out of here."
"Yes, Hero! I will prepare for you right now, please wait outside of the warehouse and I will lead the three of you to go." - At least I could use this King for my purpose...or he was using us
"I will prepare now, King Ralla! I will get back here in minutes."
Then I ran outside of the warehouse, Yura should be here but for some reason, she had gone away when I got out. King Ralla's royal guards were still guarding here, they might know something.
When I was going toward a guard, the other guards targeted their attention at me.
"You human, how cou-, Ah! Sorry, you Hero! What do you need from us?" - That guard shouted loud to me then slowly polite to me, what was wrong with these elves?
"Where is Yura, I don't see her anywhere?"
"Ah, Hero! The prophet said to us that she was feeling unwell so she just got back home a few minutes ago." - That guard said to me
Yura felt unwell? Frank Jonathan, her ancestor, mentioned that he married an Elf woman who he considered a prophet who could see the future.
If Yura could see the future then was that "unwell" a symptom to know she saw the future? Or maybe...it was just a normal illness.
Then I immediately ran back to Yura's house, when I got to the house, Yura was now inside the kitchen, she was holding her head, sitting on the chair near the dinner table.
"Yura, what's wrong?" - I immediately ran to Yura
Yura while holding her head, she pointed her hand to a cloth nearby and a wooden water tank, as if to tell me to dip the cloth, this girl was now in fever?
Then I ran to the cloth and opened the cover of the water tank and dipped the cloth until it was wet, I ran back to Yura, using my hand language to tell her to take her hand out to let me examine her head.
"Yura, what's wrong? Your head is very hot!" - She was in fever?
Then Yura snatched the wet cloth in my hand and put it on her forehead, she looked at me as if to beg me something.
"John! Hear, hear me." - Yura's voice was quite unwell
"I saw the future, I saw a big explosion will be happening in a human's kingdom."
"Where, Yura? Tell me where!"
"Kingdom, of, of Warsaw! Right in their, capital, city!"
"I don't know how long until the day that incident occurs, maybe less than a week." - So Shera and Reimi were in danger now, must save two of them
Then suddenly Yura's head stopped heating, Yura was now fine but she kept looking at my face.
"What's wrong, John?" - Yura seemed to be fine now but she was now worried about me
"I was about to go there, Yura!"
"That's quite complicated now, I heard from His Majesty that the ceremony to summon the hero will be held in Warsaw Kingdom's capital city."
"The ceremony will be held tomorrow or in the next few days, the explosion may be happening during the ceremony."
"I only saw the explosion but I don't know what caused it." - Yura said there would be an explosion
Shera was a Princess, was it alright for me to tell her to alarm her father to stop the ceremony?
But if I didn't do anything then nothing would happen, must get to them right now. But this was very odd, wasn't Shera's homeland had been in a coup recently?
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
But their government kept insisting to hold the ceremony, maybe the explosion that Yura told me would be kind of a secret attack from the rebels or another hostile factor.
"I know this is sudden, Yura but all three of us will have to go now, to the capital city."
"What?" - Yura seemed very shocked
"I know this is suddenly, Yura! We will go now, goodbye Yura, stay safe, I will send your goodbye to Hatano and Sarah."
I immediately grabbed my stuff and my subordinates' stuff, their Alrotz bags were a bit heavy when I had to carry two in my hands, one in my back but I managed to run out of Yura's house to run to the warehouse.
"Wait! John! Wait!" - Yura kept calling me while chasing after me, sorry, Yura! But I was in rush right now
Then I ran a straight line to the warehouse, King Ralla had waited for me outside, also Hatano and Sarah, they had now done reloading my M4's magazines. Sarah had now very surprised because I suddenly came here with their stuff without notification.
"Commander, what's this about?" - I was in rush, that's all!
"We will head to Warsaw Kingdom's capital city now, I know this is sudden, Sarah, Hatano!"
"But I'm your Commander so you two must obey my order."
"Why do we have to get there, Commander?" - Can you stop asking me, Sarah?
"I will tell you when I get there."
Sarah had very disagreed with my order but she later went silent to follow me, about Hatano, she comforted Sarah a bit then also went silent to follow me.
Seemed like when Sarah was still with me, Hatano wouldn't anything against me, at least that was good news and bad news.
Then I put down my bag and took out two other clothes for my subordinates, they were hood clothes with green features.
I didn't want these girls to wear our US uniforms and run around Shera's homeland, we would have been arrested or sliced some if the guards there misunderstood we were the remaining rebels.
"We have to change our clothes here, Commander? Hentai, you Hentai!" - Can you stop covering your breasts, Sarah? The elves' guards were now staring at you
"Just wear the clothes while wearing our uniforms to cover them, and talk in English, even if you scold me, Sarah!"
"Hmmph!" - Sarah snatched the hood clothes from my hands then gave them to Hatano, the girls began to wear them
After the girls changed clothes, suddenly from behind, Yura ran after me, she kept running toward us even though I said goodbye to her.
"Sarah, Shizu, haah! Haah! Wait for me a bit!" - Yura stopped in front of us, trying to take her breath
"Sarah, Shizu!" - After taking her breath, Yura hugged Hatano and Sarah, she seemed to want to spend her last moments with them
"Ah, Yura! You hugged us so tight! I'm sorry, Yura! We want to spend our time with you longer but we cannot, that's my Commander's order, sorry!" - Sarah and Hatano were now hugging Yura tighter
After the hug, the three of them said goodbye to each other, I would return to this place when I had time, but at first, I must save Shera and Reimi.
"It's time, Hero! This way!" - King Ralla told us to follow him
Then we had to go down the hidden room again, King Ralla went with us to the deepest tunnel, I wondered why he lead us there, there must be a reason for him to do that.
After going to the deepest tunnel, King Ralla turned on the crystal lights, when the lights were on, they exposed to us a white circle on the ground, which seemed to be the perimeter of something.
"Please the three of you Heroes get inside the circle!" - King Ralla asked us to get in the circle
"What's this circle, King Ralla?"
"It's also a gift from Damon the Demon Lord sent to us, this thing is called "Teleport machine", which is created not long after Yura's ancestor passed away."
"Before passing away, that Hero had gone to all continents with his purpose was to upgrade the "science-technology" and the lives of the people there."
"The thing he called "Teleport machine" only created on his thoughts when he saw us performed a magic that has the same feature as this "machine"."
"The Hero saw that and he said his idea to Damon, she later doing his wish but when the machine had been done, the hero died before he could see the result." - Wait! Wasn't the soldier Frank quite friendly to the Demon Lord?
So the electric lights were also his idea, maybe I should ask King Ralla for more info.
"King Ralla, why did Yura's ancestor was so friendly to Damon like that?"
"Sniff! Sniff! Why do I feel the scent of Harem?" - Yeah! Sarah, I also had that idea too!
"Me...too...We sniffed...the same...smell...Commander..." - Okay, so you too, Hatano!
"Ahahaha! Ahem! Sorry, Demon Lord Damon had fallen in love with Yura's ancestor when he spared her life, Heroes!" - King Ralla finally answered, seemed like I was right
"I don't want to make a big mouth, Heroes! But, let's consider this as our secret!" - King Ralla stepped closer to us, he was about to say some words
"These are just rumors but many people even the Demon citizens believed that Dark, the present Demon Lord is the daughter of Yura's ancestor and Damon the Demon Lord when he traveled to Demon Kingdom to visit her when she was ill."
This guy, Frank! Not bad at all! You just had made a harem for yourself.
"Just like you, John!" - How could you talk to me when you were always silent, Advisor? Wanted to wait for dramas to sniff? Okay, I would send you to hell!
"Ah!" - Sarah was shocked when I turned off Advisor immediately after it said that word, I even put it in my bag
You're lucky, Advisor! This time I spared you but next time I would throw you somewhere.
"Stare!" - What was wrong with you, Sarah? Wanted to join my harem or what?
About Hatano, uh oh! She was now staring at me but I felt so bad about this.
"Commander!" - What, Sarah? Want to confess or what?
"Commander, you forgot to...tight you belt...your pants...are now on...the ground..." - Hatano, you said what?
"Hentai! Hentai! Hentai!" - Stop scolding me, Sarah!
How did my belt not being tightened? Who did this? How long this thing had happened? And about you, King Ralla, stop smiling, you enjoyed that so much?
Then I immediately grabbed my pants on the ground to wear them then tightened my belt very tight, who did this to me, exactly?
Then I looked back and saw Sarah and Hatano were now opening two mocking smiles at me, Sarah, not so special, but about Hatano, this was the first time I saw her smile. Hatano's smile was still not natural but at least it gave me chills though she was opening her mocking smile at me.
"Sis, high five!" - Sarah and Hatano made high five while staring at each other, these girls must be the people who caused this
"Hey Sarah, Hatano!"
"Commander, sometimes at least we have to prank each other, you know?" - How did you can open a pure smile after doing that to me, Sarah?
About Hatano, she went back to her emotionless face, I hoped she would keep that face forever, that face gave me felt peaceful.
"You Heroes, it's time."
"Please stand still, the teleport process only takes seconds so please make sure that all of you stay in the perimeter of the circle." - King Ralla said to me then he went on a thing that looked to be a machine nearby
I didn't think this fantasy world would have some modern things, but as King Ralla words, these things were created in Kingdom of Demon, which meant the other Kingdoms weren't capable of that.
I was now wondering if the Kingdom of Demon was capable to create firearms or not, if Yura's ancestor gave them the idea to create this teleport machine and the electricity crystals, there would be a high chance that he had given the idea of guns to them.
But I wouldn't know until I got there, this time I must find Shera and Reimi to warn them the bad incident is about to happen. If things got worse, I must have saved these girls, maybe I would get back to this village when I saved them.
Then we stared at King Ralla, he was now pushing some buttons in the machine, after he had done pushing, he grabbed the handbrake that was down the machine and lifted it.
"Teleportation process will be countdown, Destination: Keris, Capital City of Kingdom of Warsaw in 10, 9, 8, 7,..." - A voice looked to be an AI voice said to countdown the process
How developed was Demon Kingdom? They even developed the teleport machine that our world didn't have, this fantasy world was now very interesting to me.
"Ah, we are about to teleport!" - Sarah seemed a bit excited when she knows we were about to be teleported
"..." - Hatano as always, didn't react at all
"Heroes, I have set the destination three of you will go is an alley in the Capital, it's very annoying if all of you appear in front of the streets with the witnesses of people." - King Ralla said back to us when we were about to teleport
"Thank you, King Ralla!"
"All of you will be always welcome here, Heroes!" - King Ralla said to us
"3, 2, 1, 0."
A white light that came from above surrounded us by shooting it down the ground, we didn't see anything.
The light was so bright so all of us had to close our eyes, at the time I opened my eyes, in front of me was not King Ralla or the room of the teleport machine anymore, we were now in an empty alley.
"Waah!" - Sarah, can you stop?
We were now in the alley, I saw a few people for some reason going on the street forward, seemed to be very less. Maybe the Kingdom had gone out of the coup but the security here was still very tight.
"Commander, now can you answer me the reason why you get here?" - Sarah asked me, okay! I didn't have anything to hide her
"Okay, Sarah! I get here because I want to meet again Shera and Reimi, the girls that I had followed when I newly got into this world."
"Eh! You are here in a rush because you want to see girls? Hmmph!" - For some reason, Sarah seemed to be very frustrated, what was wrong with her? She was on her period or what?
"But anyway, how can you meet them, Commander? You know where they live?" - Oh shook! Sarah was always dumb but today she had behaved very wise
Maybe I had buried myself, I knew that Shera and Reimi were now living in their Imperial Palace but if we standing in front of the Palace then the guards would notice us, they would think that we were very suspicious.
This Kingdom just had got out of the coup, if we wandering around and the guards saw us then we would be dead for sure.
I would be stabbed some before I could reach Shera, she would be very sad if I got stabbed.
Wait! Did Sarah and Hatano know how to speak Englis language? If they got a language barrier with the people here then...
"Sarah, Hatano! Can you two speak Englis?"
"Hmmph! I'm the best learner here, Commander! Yura taught me that language every day." - Sarah confidently tapped her chest, it's good that Sarah had learned the language
"Me...too..." - Okay, also Hatano
"Sarah, do you have a sword?"
Then Sarah stood dazed for a while then she crawled her hair.
"Ah! I forgot to return it to King Ralla!" - Good Sarah, sometimes when we forget something that would lead us the good way
"But forget it, Commander, you forgot something." - Sarah pulled out her pistol from her pistol holster
"Commander, why don't you take your pistol? I want to return it to you." - Sarah gave me the M1911 pistol that I dropped for her while we were inside the sword cave
Then I took my pistol from Sarah's hand then I noticed, I knew that we were now exposing our rifles by bringing them on our shoulders, if we stuff them into our bags then it would be okay.
But about our Alrotz bags, if we went on the streets while bringing them, the guards would be chasing us when they saw us were so suspicious.
"Commander, you know where those girls live?" - Okay, Sarah! Thank you that I had reconsidered my plan many times
Okay! Forward the streets were people and guards, if we got their attention and they chased us, let's shoot them one to one and run as fast as possible to somewhere safe.
"Hatano, Sarah, you two are allowed to open fire do that when we got exposed."
"Eh? What do you mean, Commander?" - Sarah, we had made buried ourselves
"I don't know where these girls live and this Kingdom has just got out of the coup, so if we got attention from the guards here when they think we are the rebels, shoot them."
"Commander." - Sarah called me with a cute voice
"Wh-" - Sarah suddenly kicked my butt from behind, I was about to fall but I managed to stand
"Hmmph! Let's go, sis!" - Sarah held Hatano's hands then went away from me while keeping their hoods up
"Wait! Sarah, wait!"
"Commander...we just need...to walk..." - Hatano was quite calm
Then I got into the girls to go with them, I got the lead, I was the leader of the team I must be the most responsible.
When we got out of the alley, we saw that many guards were guarding the streets, people were going on the streets too but they were now staring at our rifles and our bags.
I heard the guards whispering something, they notice us or what?
"Commander!" - Sarah called me with a trembling voice
"Did the way we wear the hoods made us get more attention from the guards, Commander?" - Sarah, why did you think about that?
But maybe Sarah was right, I saw that the guards were looking at us, some of them were talking to each other like they were considering whether to follow us or not.
Then I noticed that in front of the pavement we were going was a figure of a person wearing black hood clothes with the hood on.
That person kept looking around the street, sometimes going a few steps around the pavement as if to stalk someone.
Then that black hood person looked at us, that person stared at me, as if wanted to see my face precisely though I was now wearing the hood.
That black hood person slowly stepped toward me and my subordinates while keeping the straight face to stare at me.
Suddenly that person ran toward me, I didn't expect that situation so I was a bit shocked. Sarah didn't notice but Hatano had held her right hand to Katana's hilt, about to draw her sword out if that person had any hostility toward us.
I kept looking at that black hood person until the person came near me.
"Sir Rigen, do you remember me?" - A woman's voice called me while removing her hood out for me to see her face
When her hood had been removed, that was a woman with a smooth long red-haired that was now flying then fastly landed on her left shoulder. Her slight purple eyes were now opened wide and her expression looked very excited to see me.
That person was Reimi, but the way she called me so loud made the people on the street and the guards stared at me.
Well! This reunion was very memorable but it would be more memorable if I met Shera but not this muscle brain.
Maybe I should grab Reimi to some alley before talking to her, some of the guards were now walking toward me.
