After one round with Mirai, we hurriedly took a bath together to cover our tracks.
After all, we were flirting around and hugging after we were done then I got a call from her dad that he was coming soon.
Man, time flies away when you’re spending it with a cute girl.
Mirai finished drying her hair then I heard the shutters open.
That was close.
A few minutes earlier we’d be facing a wet-haired girl in front of her dad.
After getting dressed in a hurry, I exit the living room to the parking lot, where I find the dad and several gang members leaving the luxury car.
「Mirai’s safe」
「Yeah. Kotori-san saved me again」
「Seems like it. You saved us again Lad」
「No, don’t mind it. I’m partly responsible for this too」
The Dad’s not so shaken because Mirai told him beforehand that nothing happened.
Still, he’s relieved to see his daughter safe and he lets out a sigh of relief.
Behind him, I see Ryo with a red swollen cheek, as if he had been punched.
It was hard to protect her under those circumstances, so the result is that Mirai got kidnapped, but at least a punch for punishment was in order.
I returned my gaze from Ryo to the father, and his eyes were looking at the people lying on the ground.
「You even brought Ito and Matsuo with you. You’re one hell of a man, to think that you went in alone and did all this. It’s too late to think of it, but I’m glad I didn’t make an enemy out of you. Just to be clear, you’re fine with us handling these men, aren’t you?」
「Of course. If it were up to me, they’d disappear somewhere, so I’ll leave them up to you」
「I see. Got it. Their head house has also given permission to do whatever, so I’ll take them. Load them up」
The father speaks and the members move.
It’s been more than two hours since then, so the two seem to have recovered, so when the gang members touched them, they went wild.
But the duct tape was so strong that there was no escape, and they became hostile after a few punches and then loaded into the car.
Goodbye, Ito, Matsuo.
I don’t know what’s going to happen to you guys but I think it’s over for you.
As I was waving goodbyes to them in my mind, the father opened his mouth.
「As soon as we got your call, we sent our people to the Naito office. I couldn’t catch all of them so I kidnapped a few and sent the rest away after giving up some information about where they lived and their families, so they’ll never come near my territory again」
「That’s reassuring. I don’t want a repeat of this incident after all」
I’m happy to hear that the neighborhood is free of scary people.
「Also, you look like you’ve been shot, are you not hurt?」
「Oh yeah, they did shoot some guns. Well, they were bad at it so I was lucky」
「I’ll keep it at that then」
He knows about the gun.
He also noticed that I was lying based on his reaction.
But, he probably doesn’t expect me to parry a bullet.
I was in the mood to brag a little, but I held it back since Mirai, who was standing next to me, looked surprised.
「I knew it, that was a gun. But, to think that you weren’t hurt. There are no gunshot wounds on the body」
「R-Right? You can see from the clothes if there’s any blood after all!」
「Y-Yeah! That’s right!」
Hey, be careful now!
You almost told them you saw me naked.
I looked at Mirai’s father while making a statement in panic, he was staring silently, but he gave another loud sigh and turned at me with a grim expression.
「Geez, you two… Sorry, but we’ll talk later. We have a lot of work to do and we need it done right away. Lad, I’ll be asking you a few questions then, so spare me some time, will you?」
「Sure thing」
Ah, he definitely knew.
Well, he knows that Mirai’s been coming to my place a lot of times so I’m sure he suspected it.
The mood was heavy as I wondered what he was going to say the next time we met, but Mirai seemed to have sparkling eyes unlike me.
Perhaps she thinks that the relationship is validated because she wasn’t scolded.
Geez, you’re grinning hard.
Cute.
The father and the group left early and the discussion will be for later.
Silence fell over the large warehouse as I watched Mirai get into the car and she waved her small hand then the shutter closed.
Well then, time to go back to that world.
There was not much to prepare, but still, after checking my belongings and locking the door, I used my long-distance teleport and landed near the Duke’s mansion.
It was late at night here, and as I walked through the pitch-dark gate of the mansion, greeting the knights and guard, I returned to the room lent to me and found Euphy and Nia standing near the door.
「D-Daiki-sama!!」
Euphy, still in her uniform, jumped into my chest as soon as she saw my face.
「Come on now, I was just a few hours late, why are you so worried?」
「Eh? That’s…ah, no! I’m worried for you Daiki-sama! But something serious has happened!」
「What happened?」
I thought she jumped out of worry.
「Daiki-sama, this! Watch this! Hurry !」
Nia, in her maid outfit, pushes the action cam on me.
Nia climbed my body, manipulating the screen to play the most recent video.
The screen shows the courtyard in the school I’ve seen before.
Euphy and Silka-chan were standing side-by-side, and in the line of sight was the second prince, and the ringlets elven girl standing with a fan in her hand, they were having a standoff.
As I was watching the video wondering what would happen, the second prince stepped forward extended his arm towards Silka-chan, and pointed at her.
『Duke Carlitz’ daughter, Silka, there’s no other reason why I summoned you. Today, I’m calling off our engagement!』
「Eeeeeh?! What’s going on?」
That sudden statement made me yell.
No, no, no, what do you mean you’re calling it off?
It’s over before we mediate between the two.
I looked at them to see what was going on and they were also puzzled.
「This seems impossible now?」
「Yes…」
「I see. What to do now」
「What to do indeed.」
Hey, out of the frying pan and into the fire now.
Euphy’s also throwing her hands already.
After rescuing Mirai and returning, I now have a bigger problem in the other world.
I wonder how this broken engagement will affect us.
I pressed my forehead and let out a loud sigh as I looked up.
