Ore no Isekai Shimai ga Jichou Shinai!

Episode 4-5 Sophia's Benefit

That's how I got to Sophia's front bedroom. In front of the door, Alice explored the signs in the room to make sure there was only one little child.

"That's Sophia. Then I'll go in first, so Alice can keep coming in."

"Yeah. Once inside, ask the Spirit to keep your voice from leaking outside."

"Please, let's go."

We slip into the room. Moments later, a surprised Sophia rose out of her chair, wrapped around the hem of her skirt and took out her dagger.

"Wait, wait! It's me, Sophia."

"... Lion, brother?

Sophia turns her eyes to surprise when she finds out the intruder is me. As soon as I saw it, I distanced myself.

"Brother Lion, what's up? - Muggle."

Block Sophia's mouth with a loud voice. Alice's spiritual witchcraft is unique because she doesn't know how long to block her voice.

"Sorry, Sophia, don't shout at me"

I almost panic if I get my mouth blocked all of a sudden, but you know Sophia, who has the benefit of reading their emotions, has no hostility towards me.

He snorted his eyes black and white, and now turned his gaze to Alice.

"Nice to meet you, Sophia. Don't worry, I'm not gonna do you any harm, okay?

"Don't worry, she's one of us. You know Sophia's not a bad guy, right?

Sophia snorts. I saw that. I slowly let go of my hand.

"... Lion, brother, why are you here?

Sophia wraps around the hem of her skirt to remove the dagger she pulled out earlier. Look... not why you have such a thing.

... With that said, you said you were only getting a little sword clue from Regis or something. Wasn't it good for the operation of unplugging?

I can't believe you're better at swords than I am... I think it's going to be possible to see how they worked earlier.

"Lion, brother?

"Oh, uh... Claire, I'm here to bring you back. Do you have any idea where he is?

"Claire, your sister would be in the deepest room on the south side... but is your brother Lion better than that? I heard you went missing when they raided the mansion, and you were worried?

"Is that how you're being asked..."

That's not a lie in a way either. I guess that's why Sophia believed it. You don't know anything about Sophia.

"... Lion, brother? Are you trying to hide something from Sophia?

"-"

I notice a breakdown and try to think of something else.

But...

"... hastily trying to delude me. But I feel like I care about Sophia. Are you trying to hide something for Sophia?

It was too late for Sophia to read their emotions. If this happens, I can't help it. Well, I was expecting this to happen to some extent.

"... I'll be honest with you. Sure, I'm hiding something from Sophia. But Sophia knows who it's for, right? So don't ask me."

Gaze at Sophia with emotion that she doesn't want to hurt her.

"If you say it like that, you'll want to know extra."

"Right. But I'm sorry. I can't teach Sophia."

Sophia's father may have killed my family. There's no way I can say that. So this choice shouldn't have gone wrong.

But Sophia swelled her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"... Mmm, that's good. Lion, if your brother won't tell me, I'll read it myself."

He shook my hand as Sophia said it in a stubborn tone.

"What?

"-Lion, get away from that child!

"... Huh?

"Good, come on!

The collar is grabbed and forcefully pulled apart.

"What's the sudden matter with you?

"You said that favors can adjust forces, right? Maybe Sophia usually holds back the power of grace!

"Oh no!?

I turn my gaze to Sophia in a hurry.

Sophia kept her eyes open just because she couldn't believe it.

"No, no, no, no, it's a lie! I can't believe your father would do that!

"Sophia, calm down!

"No, no, no, no, no, no!?

"Come on, Alice!

"- Yeah, spirits."

Alice calls to the Spirit. Sophia fell asleep like a thread had broken.

"Is that... because you saw my memory?

"I don't know how capable her favor is... but if I just know my memory, I don't think I'd be disturbed so far"

"What if I just know my memory?

"I'm only anticipating... I think I've experienced the memories I read from Lion"

"The chase experience... everything I saw and felt that day in just a few seconds?

I fear knowing what happened to Sofia.

I have memories and experiences of my previous life, and Alice was on my side. Sadness and anger experienced several times apart on top of it. Sophia experienced that in just a few seconds.

If that's true, I can't imagine how shocked Sofia was.

"... sorry if I had noticed a little earlier"

"No, it's my fault."

Now that I think about it, Sophia had a habit of holding my hand sometimes.

That's also true when we talked about making her my sister-in-law. At that time, I thought it was a sign of anxiety, but I guess it really read my mind. I should have noticed sooner.

"Is Sophia okay?

"... I don't know. But I can't stop thinking about it.

Stare at the door like Alice was bounced.

"... a lookout?

"In the hallway, one, two... all four. Looks like he's being ambushed."

"- Oh, my God. Are you finding out about our existence?

"Probably. I'm guessing this room was alerted beforehand."

"... Damn, was it a trap to watch less"

If we're going to stop the intrusion, we need to put a lot of lookout around. But if the goal is to capture the intruder, the odds of letting him get away are lower if you pull him into the back.

Since the beginning, I guess the room where Sophia and Claire hey are was marked.

"... What about the windows?

This is the third floor, but with Alice's spiritual magic, it's not impossible to jump. Though I thought so and ran to the window, it was killing me.

"No, the windows over here are blocked. Looks like you predicted it all. What do we do, pop up all at once? I might surprise you a little bit."

"I don't know..."

The people out there don't think we're aware of the ambush. But they're waiting for us to come out.

I don't think I'd surprise you because of how much you jumped out.

"... let's ask them what their purpose is. Negotiate in some cases."

"So, what if I can't? What if Master Claire was taken hostage?

"In that case..."

"You're not just gonna tell me to run, are you?

I sigh one sigh at Alice for hitting the lead.

"When the negotiations are broken, disable me with spiritual witchcraft. Later, I'll go help Claire by eating through the siege in the mood. Claire, it's the same if you're taken hostage."

"That's right. Help Claire and let's all get out of here."

"... right"

Claire, if hey was taken hostage, it wouldn't work, as you say with your mouth. In that case, I may have to choose the ultimate two options again.

Drive that idea to the corner of your head and confirm the sword hung on your hips.

It's not the sword I picked up at the Granchez house, it's the short sword my mom gave me. It's not like a magic item, but it's the size of my body and it's easy to use.

I haven't raised my swordsmanship arm... because I can only use Spirit Magic now because it's preliminary. It'll be like buying time for chanting.

I took one deep breath and put my hand on the door knob.
