「 W-What? 」
That girl was a cute girl.
She’s about 140cm in height, I think? Her pink hair’s pulled back in long twin-tails. This cheeky girl with cat-like eyes gives me the impression that she’s an otherworld version of Kurumi.
Although, there’s one thing out of place. She has a weapon.
What’s with this girl? Despite her small stature, she carries a huge axe as tall as her. It also has some beautiful decorations that could be quite valuable as a work of art.
Or rather.
(Isn’t that heavy? That’s not something you can carry on your back, right? Even a grown-up adult would get sweaty walking around with that thing)
Yes. The girl’s carrying a heavy axe on her back without breaking a sweat.
Maybe it’s a children’s toy, but it doesn’t look like it. It has a sharp edge. It can cut someone.
「 Rude! 」
「 Suspicious 」
「 Erina-sama, what should we do with this one? 」
The men surrounding me shouted in unison. A girl named Erina approached the guy. Then.
「 Nguee!! 」
「 …………！？ 」
She released a backfist into the man’s torso.
The man who received a direct hit was blown to the wall several meters away. Then, he fell to the ground.
「 Can you not call me so casually? I don’t remember being that close to you 」
Huh? W-What? That girl just slapped and the huge guy got thrown back to the wall?
W-What’s this power? I mean… She looks like she doesn’t do any muscle training at all.
My mind can’t keep up with what’s happening in front of me. Amused by my reaction, Erina-chan narrowed her eyes and grinned.
「 So, Onii-san. What are you doing here? 」
「 Oh… 」
「 Suspicious. Suspicious, right? Why is someone with a bird on his head walking to an empty alleyway like this? How can you convince me? 」
Kuh, what’s with this brat? I guess she’s in charge of this group judging by her attitude. T-This small brat…Besides…
「 W-Well, why do I have to convince you? 」
The men made a fuss at my comment. But, Erina-chan raised her hand and they fell silent.
「 Oh. Onii-san, you don’t know who you’re facing? 」
「 No, it’s our first meeting. So of course, I don’t know you 」
Hey, just how self-conscious are you? We just met today, so why would I know you?
But, Erina-chan’s eyes opened wide in surprise, and then she sent a signal to her men. Then, the men speak in turn.
「 The development of the Kainzbern empire today is due to the great emperor and the great knights who shared the history since its foundation 」
「 It’s one that the capital citizens long for and every knight dreams of at least once 」
「 The guardian of the law and embodiment of the imperial arms. 」
「 The emperor’s sword and shield, the mightiest knight of the empire 」
「 That’s the Twelve Great Generals of the Empire 」
「 And this lady is one of the imperial history’s 12 great generals! 」
「 The fifth seat of the Earl Wonrod the Third, our sweet fairy princess! Lady Erinabelle Wonrod the Fortress Crusher 」
Dodon! The man makes such a speech with sound effects. The Erina…Erinabelle-chan in question, leans back and makes a pose.
In short, it’s one of those, a noble and a knight. And it seems like she’s a pretty great one at that.
I mean, did she go all through that trouble training her subordinates to do that? They’re all probably older than Erinabelle-chan so it makes me wonder what kind of mindset they have while shouting.
Erinabelle looks at me proudly.
「 How’s that? Even a dumb man like you should’ve at least heard of me, right? 」
「 Well… 」
No, never.
Maybe all the citizens of the empire know you, but it’s my second time coming here, I don’t even know what you mean by the Imperial History’s 12 Great Generals
「 Well then. I’ll have to ask Onii-san once again. What are you doing in this place? 」
「 What you ask? I was just walking with no objective and got lost 」
「 Hmm? You’re taking me for a fool? 」
Erina-chan, a pure girl with no breasts, moves to my front. Then, she peeks with her eyes.
「 Onii-san, you must be from the rebel army? 」
「 Huh? 」
「 A man with black hair, black eyes, and a bird. I didn’t expect to see the rebel general, Liebel the Eerie Bird to be in the middle of the city, right? 」
Oh shit, this is obvious that I’m in a dangerous situation.
This country is in the middle of a civil war right now, and it’s so bad that a proper rebel group, a rebel army has formed.
And if there’s a guy in the rebel army with black hair, black eyes, and uses birds. Of course, this girl knight would mistake me for that Liebel or whatever his name is.
「 I wonder if any other rebels besides you infiltrated the capital? Answer me or you’ll die here 」
What’s with this cold gaze? It’s as if she’s grasping me by the heart.
I speak up while sweating at my back.
「 W-W-Wait, this is a misunderstanding! I’m not from the rebel army and I don’t even know who Liebel is! 」
「 Hmm? You’re still saying that? Liebel is such a vivacious strong man who makes quick decisions…huh? 」
「 No, do I look like that?! 」
What makes me a big, bold vivacious strong man! I’m a modern dude who never did hard labor in my life!
A man raised his voice in agreement.
「 Erinabelle-sama. The eerie bird Liebel uses is famous for its distinct blue, yellow, and red feathers. Also, the size is said to be matching its eerie bird call. This man’s bird is white, and it’s a small bird 」
「 ……………… 」
That’s not close to Cui at all! Where could you find such a strange bird? Are your eyes rotten?! I fought back in my thoughts.
Then, Erinabelle moved to the side of the soldier who provided information.
「 Nbura!!! 」
She tossed another backhand and the man slammed the wall.
「 Shut it 」
T-This is absurd. This is a world where violence and power take control of everything. T-This is uncivilized.
「 Hmm, but Onii-san’s still a weirdo. And there are indeed rebel spies operating at the capital. We’ll interrogate him on the seventh. Take him 」
「 Ha! 」
「 Eeeh?! 」
Hey, hey, hey, wait, why am I being taken away?
「 I-I told you that I don’t know any of the rebel army! 」
『 Touya 』
Cui, who had been silent until now, speaks up. Cui speaks in its calm voice.
『 If you want to, we could return to Japan anytime. But, let them take you away 』
「 Huh? 」
『 We need information. If we’re going to stay in this world, this is the perfect opportunity. Besides, if anything goes wrong, we can just go back to Japan if need be 』
I see. That’s an idea. Cui already regained the strength to return to Japan.
「 What, Onii-san. Do you want the questioning to start here? 」
「 Eh, n-no, haha. I-I’ll follow 」
「 You should’ve said that from the start. You’re such a dumb one 」
Erina-chan shows a scornful laugh and looks down on me.
Guh, you were the one who jumped to the wrong conclusion…You’re nothing but a woman who’ll wheeze when I cum inside you.
With my lower half on the edge, they took me to the guardroom.
Author’s Note:
Touya’s taken by some amazing-looking tiny-knight.
