「 It’s this room 」
The knight brought me in front of Mirai’s room.
He stands at the door, knocks a few times, and waited.
After some time, I felt some presence inside the room as the door slowly opens.
「 Mirai-dono, you have a visitor. Kotori-dono has come 」
「 Kotori? Who’s that? 」
Woah, her voice seems loathsome.
I don’t know what kind of expression she has on her face because the knight is hiding her, but I sense overwhelming disbelief and grumpiness in her voice.
The knight turned with a troubled look on his face, turned to urge me to step closer, and I saw a girl peeking between the door.
「 Hey. It’s been a while. Although, we haven’t known each other for that long 」
「 …Oh, you’re that guy from back then? 」
「 Yeah, that’s me. The one they kicked out. It’s Kotori Daiki. And you’re Ose Mirai-chan, right? 」
「 What do you need? 」
Hmm, I sense a lot of caution.
「 I’d like to talk to you for now, can I? 」
「 You can’t persuade me 」
「 No, I’m not here for that. I don’t care about that. I’m here to tell you something better, are you not interested? I’m not here trying to do anything detrimental to you 」
Mirai-chan seem to be at a loss from what I said.
We make eye contact, then she looked away and took a step back.
「 If it’s just you 」
Oh, she’s willing to talk at least.
I turned to the knight and he nodded.
I opened the door and went inside, and it was a spacious guest room.
The beds and sofa are arranged with a table and beyond the door at the back of the room seems to be a toilet and bathroom.
All of this stuff looks first class, and the décor on the walls is magnificent
You’re living in a good place.
After getting inside, I finally see her figure.
She looked so confused and alert at that time that I couldn’t see her face wearing her uniform, but she was quite cute.
She has a well-defined face and she might be top-class in her school year.
Her almond-shaped eyes show off a strong will, but the large pupils don’t give off that tough impression.
Her black hair stretching down to her chest looks a bit disheveled as if she hadn’t had a haircut.
However, her bangs are trimmed enough to keep her eyes visible, so she must’ve done it herself.
Her figure is much more developed than Euphy’s.
Her arms, legs, and shoulders are thin, but the good parts appear, and her thighs extending out of her skirt has the softness of a woman.
Hmm, this is charming on its own.
「 Uhm, what is it that you want to talk about 」
Mirai’s expression turned strong as I entered the room without saying anything.
I took out my phone from my magic bag and typed something, then showed it to her.
『 Are there any listeners in this room? 』
「 No, I don’t think so. They had one before but Seijin got angry and they stopped 」
I went “Who’s Seijin?” for a moment, but thinking about it, it’s one of the guys summoned here.
She’s speaking, but I should still use my phone as a precaution.
It’s scary knowing that they’ve done it in the past.
That aside, she’s much more lively than I expected.
I thought that we might not even be able to hold a conversation.
This seems like a good time to proceed without hesitation.
「 Hey, why is Kotori-san’s smartphone still alive? 」
Even when asked that, I just smiled and said nothing.
This made her somewhat cautious, but she nodded when she saw the text I showed on my phone.
『 I’m going to tell you things that I don’t want anyone in the castle to hear, so just play along for now 』
「 I’m glad that you haven’t changed, Mirai-chan. You seem healthy 」
「 Eh? Ah, yes 」
「 We have things to talk about, but can we sit down first? 」
「 O-Okay 」
Mirai responds to me with half doubt and half confusion.
Maybe she sensed that I had nothing to do with the people at the castle, her expression softened slightly.
Sitting down on the sofa, she took some distance from me, but I beckoned her to look at the screen, so she came closer.
『 I’ll write here the stuff I don’t want anyone to hear. We’re still going to have a conversation, so please respond accordingly 』
「 You seem to have a nice room, at least you’re not living in discomfort 」
「 Y-yes, it helps 」
『 First, I want to see you. Don’t raise your voice in surprise, okay? 』
I typed on my phone and took a sheet of paper out of my bag.
I showed it to her, she looked up at me, then she took the phone I was holding.
Mirai flicks them at incredible speed.
She’s faster than me.
She finished typing, and she held the phone in front of me.
『 Why do you have my Father’s business card? Tell me 』
「 You see… 」
I stopped myself from speaking further and picked up the phone to type them instead.
This method of conversation is much more troublesome than I expected.
I guess we’ll keep talking on my phone.
『 I don’t mind. But write your name here first. You know the language of the other world, don’t you? 』
I type that into my phone and show her a sheet of paper.
This is an otherworld version of an NDA.
The contents state that the signee will not divulge each other’s secrets without permission.
It’s the old blood seal.
I’m about to be frank with my secret to her.
Under this situation, she’ll likely be cooperative, but if it fails, I’m just giving away information.
I don’t know if she would mention it to others, but I thought of taking some precautions at least.
It’s also a test if it actually works.
It’s a contract, but in this world, it’s in firm effect.
As far as I’ve heard, they can’t get the words out of their mouths when what they try to speak is a secret.
It’s ridiculous as it’s only valid when both parties agree to disclose the secret to another.
It’s commonly used in business or situations like this, so I hurried to get it after freeing Euphy because I knew I would need it for this
Because of that, I’m using it without testing
We don’t have time, and one of these costs a single gold coin.
However, this is a written contract, of course, people in this world won’t write their names that easily.
Most people know that it’s a highly restrictive object
『 I won’t tell you why I have this business card until you write your name here. This is linked to a secret of mine If you don’t like it, that’s fine, I won’t bother 』
I show her the screen of my phone and Mirai-chan grits her teeth.
It’s not a harmful contract to her, but I guess she hasn’t seen that…
I said that I won’t bother, but the truth is it’s a problem if she says no
I’ll likely end up fighting the Yakuza.
After a while, she wrote her name using the ballpen I prepared for her.
As soon as the two names were lined up, the contract paper disappeared in a flash of light.
I never got told that it would go that way.
Oh well, as long as it keeps my secret intact.
『 Now tell me!!! 』
She took my phone and typed it, and she added a lot of exclamation marks.
I don’t mean to be self-important, so I told her what happened so far.
I type on my phone and Mirai peeks.
She hasn’t noticed it but her breasts are touching
Damn, she’s quite meaty for a high-school girl.
This as to be C, no, it might be D-cup
When I finished explaining to Mirai, she took my phone
『 Please, take me back to Mother and Father!!! I want to go back. 』
『 I mentioned this earlier, I can’t take anyone back yet Once my skill goes up, I should be able to bring more than one person, so you have to wait until then. But you know, there’s also the question of how to take you out. I can’t just take you out forcibly, so you have to think about that. Also, you’ll have to agree to my conditions before you can return… I’m not going to tell you yet, but be ready for it 』
『 Why?! You can return to Japan, can’t you?! 』
『 I have girls I treasure in this world. If I push myself too hard, it’ll be a bad influence on them, so I won’t do it 』
『 Then, I’m running away from the castle!! Then, send me back!! 』
『 Then they’ll suspect me first. Look, I’m already dealing with your parents who are a pain in the ass. If you’re putting me at a disadvantage, then I’m never showing up in front of you again It’s unfortunate, but you’ll have to live the rest of your life in this world 』
She’s somewhat excited that he pulled me in and the words I typed were a little bit stronger.
Looking at her, reflecting on how similar it was with her dad, tears started spilling out of her eyes.
「 Haa…my bad, don’t cry. I’ll try to help you out as much as I can 」
「 Ugu….uwaaaaa 」
I tried to comfort her with words, then Mirai covered her face and began to cry.
Hmm, this is my fault.
I went too far.
I apologized in my thoughts and continued typing.
I waited for her to stop crying, then show her my phone screen.
『 Sorry for making you cry. Let’s send your father a video. Tell her that you’re doing well. Also, that “Kotori-san isn’t responsible” Also tell them to do as I say 』
Mirai read it and glared at me, but I didn’t care
Now, wipe off your tears and tell them that I’m not the culprit.
I know that this is already a mess, but do that at least
Oh? Try to keep your voice low too.
For now, I have confirmed that she’s doing well.
At first contact, I was able to communicate that it was so-so, and I had some idea of her situation.
What’s left is for me to raise my skill and negotiate how to deal with her.
It was about time for me to leave, but then I remembered one thing.
『 I’m about to go home now, but I forgot one thing. I’m sorry to ask but can you share a secret with me. What’s your bra size? 』
Mirai’s expression turned grim when she saw the screen.
『 You got it wrong. This is to try and see if the contract works properly, there’s a deeper meaning to this. This isn’t for some obscene purpose. So tell me… 』
She was angry, so I gave her a proper explanation, she stared at me for a while, then snatched my phone away, and gave it back to me.
I see. It’s C.
Then, let’s go back now for real.
Oh right, I still have to tell her another thing.
『 A parting note, the reason I explained to the prime minister for coming here was to make you, a same hometown lady, my woman, play along will you? Make sure you tell them that you love me and that you want to be with Kotori-san 』
「 Haa?! 」
Seeing what I had written on the screen, her eyes opened wide, and got angry.
I left her behind and immediately left the room.
