Ore no Isekai Shimai ga Jichou Shinai!

Episode 3-6 Little Devil Sophia

"So, your brother will take responsibility? Or will they take responsibility?

Repeated again are two irrational choices that will be taken responsibility either way. But I have no objection to the fact that I peeked into Sophia's change of clothes when it came to accidents.

"Mm-hmm... I say responsibility, but what is Sophia going to do to me?

"I wonder if you want Sophia to be your wife?

"No, no matter what you ask me..."

"... no, what is it?

Sophia's face distorts into sorrow. All of a sudden I get upset about Sophia.

"For your brother Lion, is Sophia a a child you don't need?

"You can't be the kid you don't need."

"It's a lie."

I'm not lying.

"Then, Claire, what are you going to do with your sister and your brother, Lion, if they tell you to give me one of Sophia's?

... Oh, I knew you'd heard that one. Were you anxious that they might turn you in with that?

"Because that is the Aya of the Word. There's no way I'm offering you one."

It is true that if we are compelled to make two choices, there is nothing we can do about it. But that means there's no room for negotiation, and it never means handing one over.

There can be no choice in offering Sophia.

"Really?

"Oh, really."

"Then why don't you hand Sophia over?

"Oh, I'm not handing it over"

"Then will you make Sophia your daughter-in-law?

"Oh, be your daughter-in-law - Whoa"

"... Mmm, too bad. I wish I was almost there."

Hey, ma'am. Something's making Sophia sound like a little devil, huh? Who is it, I taught this little trick to innocent Sophia... Ah.

"Hey Sophia. Didn't I tell you I was learning a lot from Alice?

"Yeah, you're telling me, aren't you?

"Maybe... some kind of interaction like just now?

"Yeah, I am. If Sophia works hard, Alice, she'll be happy for you."

"Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

Call me back in the school building later!

... is that it? So what was Sophia depressed about earlier was acting? Wasn't it depressing or anxious to hear me and Claire talk?

"Hey Sophia, are you okay?

"It's not okay, because you were so embarrassed, right?

"Forget that already, please!

"Mmm... then what are you talking about?

"It's a series of stories about Patrick. You've said things like your own before, haven't you? I thought you might be depressed this time."

"Could you have been worried about me?

"I will. 'Cause earlier, you heard me in front of the room and you ran away, didn't you?

"That's... yeah. It's true that I was surprised to hear it by chance."

"Then..."

I knew you were depressed. I kept trying, but Sophia shook her neck to the side and blocked my line.

"I was definitely surprised, and I was shocked. And if it bothered you enough because of Sophia, I might as well erase Mr. Patrick."

Ah, I knew it! Good to see you in a hurry...... is that it?

"Did you even think about it? You don't think now?

"Alice, tell your sister, 'Sophia, if you can. That's not it. You can't do what Lion doesn't want.'"

Huh. Alice's guy, you were also taking good mental care of him.

Let's forgive him behind the school building.

"What Sophia needs to do is cage your brother Lion as a sister-in-law."

I knew it was behind the school building!

Alice's guy is not at all. I've been having too much trouble lately. I know it's the result of worrying about Sophia, but there's going to be something more about how to do it.

"Brother Lion. Take Sophia with you to the Marquis Gramp house?

"Oh, why are you doing that all of a sudden?

"Lion, your sister said it would be the best way to cage your brother, Lion."

"Ugh, uhh..."

It's like you're wrong, like you're not wrong. Well, it's a good thing Sophia tries so I don't dare deny it.

"So. Lion, I wondered what I could do to help your brother."

"That's going to see the Marquis Gramp with you, is it? No way, you're still trying to sacrifice yourself, aren't you?

If that's the reason, I'll see Sophia with the willingness to never take her. But Sophia shook her head sideways as she sifted.

"Sophia. There's just one more stunt that I thought would benefit me."

"... the benefit of reading people's minds"

Indeed, with that, we can definitely move the negotiations forward in our favour. Because you know all about what they're thinking and how far they can concede.

But...

"Sophia can't read people's minds anymore, can she?

"Only a little lately, I've been able to see people's emotions. I'm still too scared to read their minds."

"Yes, it was."

It would be very helpful if Sophia benefited... but I'm going to see the Marquis Gramp to protect Sophia and everyone. I can't burden Sofia.

"I'm happy for you, but you don't have to, okay?

"Ugh. Sophia wants to work hard. Lion, if it's for your brother, I think you can get over the trauma of not being able to read people's minds."

... Oh well, Sophia's trying too.

Uh-huh. This is an official visit. I don't think the Marquis Gramp is coming out to use force, and if it's some rough stuff, I can protect him... but I wonder if it's okay in a spiritual sense.

"Mm-hmm... right. If Alice gives you permission, I'll take you."

"Really?

"Yeah. If Alice gave me permission, right?

I can think of a round throw for Alice, but she should be able to make a calmer decision than I am. If Alice says she's okay, I can believe she's fine with taking Sophia.

"Okay! Then I'll get your permission!

Say it quickly, or Sophia tries to pop out of the room. So I grabbed that arm in a hurry.

"Wait, wait. You don't have to hurry because I'm not going anytime soon."

"Really?

"The due date is in two months. So I'm going to gather information by then. And more importantly, there's a problem in Granchez territory. So first of all, I guess we'll have to work something out."

"What's the problem... what's going on? Hunger is calming down thanks to food aid, isn't it?

"Yeah. I'm fine over there. It sounds like Patrick's spreading some bad rumors about me in our territory."

"... not a good rumor? What kind of rumors are you spreading?

"I gathered the children, didn't I? It seems to me that teaching at school is an excuse, and in fact, it feels like the little girls I've gathered..."

"... that guy really doesn't do a lot of things"

Wow, Sophia's scornful eyes are amazing. Maybe if Sophia looked at me like this, Patrick wouldn't be able to collapse and get back on his feet.

"Well, that's why I was worried about the parents who heard the rumors. I'm asking you to give me back my child."

"Oh, but... everyone's parents misunderstood that your brother Lion collected them for the purpose of saying that, didn't they?

"Well, it is. At least I taught you to study. Doesn't it feel like you've been told there's really a back there, and you can't forgive me anymore?

- And I explained it to Sophia, but it's really a little different.

I just said it the way I wrapped it in Oblate, but the rumors are pretty awful. At least if I were you, I'd choose to sell it to a slave trader if it was enough to keep it in such a noble house.

"Can't you explain the situation? Lion, your brother hasn't done anything wrong, and I was wondering if you'd understand if we talked properly?

"That's it. It's like the people who spread the rumors are stirring up the people, and they don't believe me to the extent explained by the knights on the patrol."

Rather, reports indicate that some villages have developed to the point of being stoned or thrown. Good because the knights put up with me, but if I did poorly, I would have been in a riot.

"Well, then, can't we just catch those stirring people?

"I wish I could. If it's from the people, the lord wants to hide it. He told me the truth. You're on the side of justice, right?

"Well... from the people in the village, your brother's going to be the bad guy."

"That's what you say"

The knights are continuing to persuade me into the tunnel, too, but they haven't achieved much. It won't be a good result as it is.

In the worst case scenario, we may have to return the students to the village before it becomes a riot. At least that would solve the parents' misunderstandings.

It's a means I don't really want to take because I'm significantly late for class.

"Ugh. That's hard. I wish everyone would come to this city instead of just complaining. Then you'll soon know your brother's not bad."

"... Huh? Oh, oh, oh! That's it! That's it! Sophia, you're great!

"Huh? What's that?

"So, yeah. All you have to do is ask your students' parents to come."

Show this city to meet the students.

I excluded Patrick from nature and choice because he doesn't believe me at all, but if you ask me, you're right, usually if he comes to us, you'll know.

Farmers won't be able to afford to travel for a week or two, but that's fine if we follow up on travel expenses and other issues there. All right, I can go! We can go!

"- Invite the parents of your students!
