BXBX NOVEL Chapter 405.1: Irregular ②
Surrounded on either side by strong knights, I smile while kneeling.
It is easy to get to Nora-san’s place. I just summoned a Spider, told it my destination, and it took me there. As expected of the city system. The only miscalculation is that I was arrested as an assailant.
The building where Nora Code is based is incomparably larger in both width and height than the building where Ohii-sama is imprisoned. The place around me is surrounded by the same knights that I have seen in the prison, making the atmosphere very ominous. As soon as the Spider arrived, I was captured by the surrounding knights. Well, if you think about it rationally, it is only natural. If you suddenly go to meet Royalty in the outside world, you would probably get captured. I am lucky that I was brought to Nora-san’s place without being attacked.
Nora-san sits proudly on a huge steel throne with her legs crossed. When they brought me in, she looked at me as if I were a dung beetle. If I had never been looked at like a dung beetle before, even I would have been stunned.
Nora-san trembles when she hears my purpose and speaks in a high-pitched, threatening voice.
“You, and I, are not friends, okay? Know your place!” (Nora)
“Un, un, that’s right. But…… Out of all the people I know, Nora-san is the one who seems to know the most about the system, you know……” (Cry)
“………… Haaaah. Seriously, haaaah! Ignorance is really the worst. In the first place, let alone being friends, you, the Spare’s Royal Guard, have a hostile relationship with us! Do you understand that!?” (Nora)“No, but our side has no intention of being hostile against you…………” (Cry)
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});If you want you can even use the Empire Treasure, the lies-detector, 『True Tears』 on me. I am basically harmless. I am just a little unlucky.
Hearing what I said, Nora-san loudly clicks her tongue.
“………… Tsk. You overall rating of 4. If it weren’t for the fact that you risked your life to rescue the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》, I would have just thrown you in the trash.” (Nora)
………… As you can imagine, even I have never been thrown in the trash either.
But now that I am here at Nora-san’s home, I once again think about it but, isn’t Nora-san not being held captive at all? It is completely different from what I heard at the Exploration Association.
Well, it is not uncommon for there to be discrepancies between the request and the current situation, so there is nothing I can do even if I complain now…… but perhaps she was imprisoned, but managed to fight back against the nobles before we arrived? It is totally possible with this Ojou-sama. She is very different from Ohii-sama.
The strong knight standing next to Nora-san asks her.
“Nora-sama, shall I take care of him?” (Knight)
“Hh…… You can’t. This guy is a Royal Guard, so if we attack him, it might be considered going against the king’s will.” (Nora)
“B-But, we can’t just leave him alone――” (Knight)
“………… Right. I can’t believe that there is such a foolish move as sending a Royal Guard to the enemy camp alone…… Well, it is a foolish move because there is no point in doing it. And this might also incur the king’s wrath……” (Nora)
How should I say, I am sorry if I confused you all. But it is true that I have no intention of being hostile towards you.
“Okay, I’m sorry. Next time I will bring Kryhi with me.” (Cry)
The moment I mention his name, Nora-san’s eyebrows *pikuri
* twitch, and her expression twists. As I am momentarily intimidated by the fierce energy radiating from her body, Nora-san speaks in a voice that seems to resonate from the depths of the earth.“Are you…… Trying to negotiate with me? Don’t fuck with me! Never mention that name again. There is a limit to how much of a fool you are that you think someone like you can try to negotiate with this Nora Code. If you try that again, I don’t care if you are a Royal Guard――I’ll tear you to pieces.” (Nora)
“I am sorry.” (Cry)
I immediately prostrate on the spot at her force. This is the second time today. Nora-san is serious. The best thing to do when dealing with an angry person is to kneel down and do a Dogeza.
As I prostrate, staring at the ground, I hear a loud sigh from above my head.
“Enough, it’s unsightly. Just lift your head.” (Nora)
See, Olivia-san, if you apologize properly, it will work.
“…………. I am really sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you. Actually, if you think about it, Kryhi was attacked by the defense system and went somewhere, so I couldn’t bring him here.” (Cry)
“!? Haa!? What are you doing!!” (Nora)
He wasn’t outside the building, so he must be in another building. Kool and the others are with him, so they will contact me if anything happens.
Let’s leave Nora-san’s protection to Kryhi. She is a bit too much for me to handle.
But what do I do if I cannot rely on Nora-san…… As I frown and groan, Nora-san takes a deep breath as if to hold back her anger, glares at me, and says.
“……………… Now, quickly bring out that chocolate thing. I’ll check it with the city system. Then, quickly go back and find the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》.” (Nora)
“Eh? Is that okay!? ………… Ah………… I don’t have it with me.” (Cry)
“!? Y-You bastard………… Are you making fun of me? What am I supposed to do without the actual item!! Haah?” (Nora)
Nora-san stands up from her throne and stomps her feet. It is as you said…… But it is okay, I can just ask Ohii-sama to send it to me. I gave her so much and told her to eat it carefully, so there should still be some left……
Thanks for reading! Oooh Nora really is a tsundere. But Cry just storm through Nora’s castle just to ask her to make chocolate. Sasuga Cry!
