Jobless Chapter 52 State of Emergency, and the Maiden who Predicts the Future
After that, Erinabelle’s servant lessons continued. But, all this input is making my head hurt.
「Bored?」
「Not really. But it’s my first time hearing all this stuff so my brain getting tired I guess」
「Very well. We’re just in time. Let’s go on a tour. Follow me…」
「Erinabelle-sama!」
While Erinabelle was talking, someone knocked on the door loudly. Erinabelle looked suspicious, but there was a hint of impatience calling out her name?
「What? Come in」
「Excuse me!」
A soldier entered the room. The soldier continued speaking impatiently.
「Emergency news from the castle. Alchrom has invaded the castle and taken Filmeria-sama away」
「Wha?!」
「Here are the details! Erinabelle-sama’s told to find Alchrom as soon as possible and try to take Filmeria-sama back!」
Erinabelle took the piece of paper from the soldier. She began to look at the contents.
「!! Gather those who can cast rank 2 magic! Right away!」
「Y-Yes!」
The soldier replied and left the room. Then, a whistle was blown.
On the other hand, Erinabelle quickly puts on her wrist covers.
「H-Hey. Erinabelle…」
「This is an emergency. I’ll run to the capital with those who can reach a certain level of physical enhancement. You probably won’t be able to follow so wait here」
「Huh?」
The air around Erinabelle changed in an instant. She’s getting ready and went out of the room as we speak.
「Meet at the front, hurry!」
Erinabelle said and soldiers began to gather.
「We have the situation confirmed, right? Those who can’t move, check what’s happening! Split into six groups and start on your patrol route」
Erinabelle’s instructions were dignified. The soldiers divided into teams and received instructions on how to respond when they found Alchrom.
「Let’s go!」
「Yes!」
Then, they went out of the office at a speed that not even an Olympic athlete could follow.
「Woah. That was just a moment」
『Hmm. Seems like there’s an emergency』
「Seems like Alchrom has kidnapped Filmeria」
『That name. Wasn’t that the girl who could predict the future?』
Yeah. Erinabelle did mention that. I heard that her predictions never went wrong before.
『Based on Erinabelle’s actions, her foresight must be valuable. Or maybe, Filmeria herself has a noble status』
「Maybe it’s both. Besides, Alchrom is involved, so Erinabelle needs to take back the noble taken away and also catch Alchrom」
Erinabelle asked for those who can cast rank 2 magic or something. Perhaps those rank can increase their physical abilities higher than the standard.
Unlike regular patrols, they run around the capital at an enhanced speed.
「This is a world without security cameras after all」
『Perhaps Anberta’s also making a move. But I have my concerns』
「Hmm? Concerns?」
『Do you remember, Alchrom is as strong as Erinabelle. Or maybe even stronger. And he also has a hostage. We’re assuming that she’s out to capture Alchrom. Would Erinabelle be able to win without any injuries?』
「………………」
I can’t say that she’ll be fine. This is different from the peaceful Japan. There are enemies and allies. Once you fight the enemy. It usually ends with death.
And Alchrom pushed Erinabelle back before. Both of them have experience in murder, so they’re real warriors. Perhaps they’ll fight to death again when they meet.
Erinabelle. Our encounter was a bad one, but now she’s my guarantor and a female knight who granted me a job as her servant. Also, a woman I want to have sex in the future as well.
Thinking about that. I noticed that I was leaving the office.
『Didn’t she tell you to wait here?』
「Did she say that?」
I don’t think I can find Alchrom if I just run around the capital. Even if I find him, I don’t know what to do.
But, if Alchrom starts fighting Erinabelle. I might be able to help again, just as I did before.
「Haa. This isn’t the easy fantasy sex life in another world I was expecting」
『Hmm. I guess you can’t get enough of the woman you had fun with』
「Phrasing」
『It would be regrettable to lose a woman that you can impregnate casually』
「I told you, phrasing」
I can think of many reasons, saying that I can’t lose my backer, or I want to maintain my foundation for my life in the other world.
But Cui’s right. I don’t want to lose the woman I had impregnation sex with. I don’t want to lose Erinabelle. After having that much sex with her, I’m now attached.
『That’s very heroic of you. It makes me happy』
「So that’s your preferred Hero?」
『Yes. And so, My contractor, I’ll look for Alchrom in the skies』
「You mean?」
Cui, who has great information-gathering skills will search for Alchrom in the skies.
『It may be a big place, but this isn’t as populated as Tokyo. I should be able to find him soon』
■
Filmeria Fimirun She’s one of the nobles of the capital and was called the “Mourning Shrine Maiden” by her peers.
The Fimirun’s house has a long history. To date them back, one of the first of the 12 generals was the ancestor of the Fimirun house. And they’ve kept producing a member of the 12 generals since then, truly the noble among nobles.
In addition to the current head of the Fimirun house being the Royal Family’s wife, welcomed as the Queen by the past blood tribes, they also received the status of the second class count.
Filmeria’s born in that clan, but she’s not the successor. And so, she didn’t receive the second rank but became a third rank, a step-down.
In addition, she may have some intense mana, but the way she can use them is limited.
(I’m defective)
She can’t use her mana to enhance her physical abilities or invoke magic. All she does is exist with a big mana pool.
Truly a wasted talent. Due to such circumstances, she’s been told that she has no use apart from her lineage since she was a child.
But the environment had changed when she was 10. By consuming her massive mana during sleep, she was able to gain foresight.
Furthermore, her intuition has become sharp in her daily life.
Her intuition ranges from telling that there will be visitors coming after lunch, or the sudden rain afternoon.
Magic powers rarely show their talent in this direction. Filmeria was one of those rarities.
It’s said that the first of the Fimirun house left a prophecy of the future empire. Originally, it was a family that conveyed such mystery.
Filmeria woke up with her foresight powers, and her surroundings gushed forth. Many thought that her powers were the same as the first of the clan.
But, the dreams Filmeria sees are always terrible fates.
Disasters. Murder. She never receives peaceful dreams. It was all on point, and no matter how much the dream was in detail, they were never able to avoid such an unfortunate future.
Then, one day. She had a dream of a certain noble dying. The nobles in her dream were in despair. 「I can’t believe I was included in Filmeria’s dream」 they say.
Ten days later. That noble was poisoned, struggled just like in the dream, and died.
From then on, rumors about Filmeria came in. In the end, they say that she’s “Intentionally seeing the nobles who she wants to suffer”
Filmeria has mismatched eye colors.
Although they never mentioned it when she first awakened the power of foresight, they now speak behind her back calling her feature creepy. Thus, she was given the name Mourning Shrine Maiden.
(I don’t even want to dream. Why do I have this power?)
Filmeria doesn’t like the dreams of people dying. For a 10-year-old girl of that time, it was nothing but a nightmare.
She sees nightmares and yet people spread unfounded rumors about her. Filmeria’s spirit was wearing quick.
Nowadays, she finds it troublesome to meet and talk to people, and in the noble town, she lives in a quiet land where people don’t come.
Even so, some would come and ask her if she had a dream.
Some wish for their political enemies to face misfortune. Some are worried about the misfortune falling on themselves.
Living her life in such a mansion, two knights gave her a visit. They were the two members of the 12 generals, the 8th and 5th seats.
『Recently, there have been soldiers in the capital whose bodies were cut right in the torso. Have you seen them in your dreams?』
They were thinking about dealing before the next incident as they were in charge of the security of the capital.
If she had dreamt of them, they only needed to be there in advance. They could catch the culprit with that.
But, seeing the pink-haired knight, Filmeria was surprised and couldn’t speak. Just a few days ago, she had a dream of the girl having her torso cut into two.
(Erinabelle Wonrod. A third-rank noble like me)
But, if she talks about the contents of her dream, she doesn’t know what the girl in front of her would say. She may show despair or she might curse her. And so…
『T-The Imperial Knights. It seems like. I saw them』
『R-Really?』
Filmeria lied. immediately.
No. Erinabelle was also an imperial knight so it’s not a lie.
And she knows when the prediction will happen, even the approximate date and time. But, the location is unknown.
Filmeria therefore described what she saw at that time in as much detail as possible. Thinking that they’ll never meet again.
But, something unexpected happened. Erinabelle survived the predicted date and time.
The dark-haired man with a bird on his head, had approached and asked Alchrom. It was said that the imperial soldiers didn’t die.
(It’s my first time…I’m happy that my prediction was wrong)
The foresight she had wasn’t absolute. It can also be avoided. Filmeria found hope. However.
(But, my dream only missed once. There might not be another one)
The girl’s heart had long worn out clinging to small hope. It’s a matter of probability.
Only once the unfortunate future was avoided. The probability of it coming true is still near 100.
And the dream Filmeria saw recently was her own death.
「Filmeria Fimirun? Could you come with me?」
A man has entered Filmeria’s room. And when she saw the man. She realized that the time for her foresight had come.
