Ore no Isekai Shimai ga Jichou Shinai!

Episode 4-3 Isolated Helpless

The next morning, we took a carriage to the King's Capital to bring Claire back. We - we mean Alice, Sophia and Liz. He is a member with a servant and escort there.

When Clary returns first, he is leaving for King's Capital in the early morning.

To be honest, Clary did some sort of sabotage work... I didn't even think it was possible, but we arrived in Liselheim the next evening without any problems.

He entered the castle with Liz's guidance and was escorted to the guest room.

"Well... what do we do now?

The last resort is to take the liberty of searching around the castle to secure Claire. Hey, but I want to make it easier if I can. So I turn to Liz and ask her what to do.

"Right...... I think it would be a good idea to try the positive-attack method first"

Quick to say, Liz waves a handbell. Soon a maid came from outside the room.

"May I call you, Miss Liz?"

"About two days ago, your sister, Claire Riddill, acting head of the Granchez family, came to the royal castle, right? Can you call me to come here?

"... I'm sorry, I can't do that"

"What do you mean you can't?

"Her Royal Highness Princess Noel ordered me not to see anyone."

"Yes, it is..."

Unfortunately, that's half what I expected. So I'm gonna give Liz a shot at getting her next move on.

"Now tell your brother Alberto I want to see him."

"His Highness Alberto is currently away"

"Are you away? Yeah... so when are you coming home?

"I'm sorry. I'm just told I'm out, so I can't answer that question."

"Yes..."

The troubled Liz just turns her gaze to see what she will do.

Claire, it's within your expectations that you won't see him, but it's unexpected that His Highness Alberto is away. Think about what you might do best.

I can't count on His Highness Alberto's help any more than I don't know when I'll be back. When that happened, the maid opened her mouth thinking that I would have to meet Her Royal Highness Princess Noel in person -.

"Lady Liz. How would you like to meet His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen?

"To your father and mother, are you?

"He knew the lady was home and he wanted her to show her face when he had time"

"Really? Then I'm going to show my face now. Your father might be able to help. Lion, is that okay with your brother?

"... Huh? Oh, yeah. That's good..."

‘When you have time' now means when you normally think about it, Your Majesty has time, doesn't it? Liz seems to have received it when she has time... are you okay?

When I thought so and asked the maid for her complexion, I just got eyes on her.

"What does His Majesty say...... drown Miss Liz - Cohon. Because you take care of it very much."

Oh, I guessed something. So did His Royal Highness Alberto, and Liz is loved by everyone. Probably in a cuter way than a handy child...

Together, it would be comforting to have the cooperation of His Majesty the King. Your Majesty won't be able to move himself, but he might be able to get the necessary clearance and information.

So I sent Liz out when I asked her in that direction.

Less than half an hour after Liz turned to her parents that way. I was waiting in the guest room.

"Not yet, is Liz still here?"

"It's been a long time since we've been together again, so I guess we're playing the story?... or I'm saying the same thing just now. Why don't you calm down a little bit?

Alice puts an unforgiving scratch on me lying on the table. Certainly Alice is right, it's been a long time since we met again. I won't be able to help but take a little while.

But, but...

"Even if I understand, Claire, I'm worried about you. I'm talking about not seeing anyone, and no matter what you think, you're trapped somewhere, right?

"Well... they must be quarantined, but it's that Claire, right? Don't you have to worry so much?

"I usually do, too."

I don't know who Her Royal Highness Princess Noel is, but I don't think she'll appeal to violence. And if it's power, Claire, hey - I don't even think the Granchez family will lose unilaterally.

But as a matter of fact, Claire, hey, he's headed out to King's Capital to make a match. I mean, to say something unexpected is happening to me. Claire, hey. So I can't say I'm relieved.

"Claire, if your sister is so important, you should have caught her tight"

"Ugh..."

I can't argue with the relentless scratch until Sophia...... too honest.

But. There's something in the world called timing or hanging up. I don't think I would have been able to assure anyone that I didn't want Claire to take it away from me without something like this one.

"Fair enough, both of you, please don't jerk Lion off like that. Even Lion, you're already ready, aren't you?

I guess I got it from a castle servant. Mother Millie's putting a set of tea in the tray in front of us.

Or... me being followed by my mother for every relationship. What a pity. I slap myself in the cheek to scold myself.

"Of course, I'm ready. I also understand what Alice and Sophia are saying. I don't know how Claire hey got your match... but this wouldn't have happened if I'd stayed firm. So, I'm Claire, and I'll tell you what I think."

What's reminiscent is how we interacted when we were just kids.

When Brother Blake tried to offend Alice, I defeated Brother Blake by showing her that Alice was already my thing.

And I found that out, Claire. Hey, I said I wanted my match to break like that, too.

Back then, I replied that I couldn't possibly do that. Because it was not possible in every sense, whether in feelings or in power.

But - not now.

Now I should be able to protect Claire, no matter who she is. And more importantly, I don't want to give Claire to anyone myself.

Of course, Claire, if you don't want it, I'm not going to force you. But if you're not, if you're trying to make a match for me, I'll take Claire hey home by force.

Even if it turns this country against the enemy.

"... because. What am I going to do, I think I burned it a little too much?

"Mm-hmm. But it's Lion. Isn't this just about right?

"Maybe, but, Lion, your brother, he runs away sometimes, doesn't he?

"Sure... too much could get you in trouble"

Something tells me Sophia and Alice are hissing.

Apparently, reading my thoughts with Sophia's grace and arguing about their content... something is wrong with their content.

... Now that I think about it, when Tina told me that Claire Hey was going to make a pageant, they were strangely quiet and just listening.

I still know that Sophia doesn't read Tina's familiar mind. But even in front of Clary, Sophia kept her quiet all the time.

There was an incident in Ayashi Village, so you didn't ask me to use my favors. But... the usual Sophia would have read Clary's mind and told me, needless to say.

Besides, Alice didn't say anything even though she called Claire hey her best friend. No panic, no anger. The two of us behaved unnaturally then, no matter what you think.

And the interaction between the two of us now. Claire, I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about me doing too much. The reason...

"Both of you, could you... Claire, did you know that hey would make a match?

Ask him if he can think of anything else. The two answers to the question were affirmative.

"Claire told me what was going on before we went out to investigate the streets. So I know why you're here."

Next to Alice, who answers all the time, Sophia and Millie's mother snort.

... Oh, I'm getting something.

Alice and Sophia knew about Claire's match beforehand. Because, Claire, you knew even Tina could be called the right arm of hey.

If you knew up front, there's no reason to mess it up so much that it gets wet under the rain.

Uh, uh.

Speaking of which, even when I said I'd take a bath, Tina reacted like she didn't know why, and Alice pointed out that her body must be cold.

I saw a wet tier in the first place and thought it looked like I was wearing a bucket of water.

Probably - or almost certainly, that wasn't hit by rain and wet. As a performance to incite my anxiety, I guess he literally watered me with a bucket or something before he greeted me.

... or maybe it's water. I wonder if you even wore it in the hot springs to say that your body wasn't cold.

Besides, Akane also said something about a double payoff. That I didn't give you the reward, but that someone already gave it to me.

Because that other guy, Claire, that's all I can think about. Maybe we don't. Everyone would be glue except me on this one.

... Oh no, except maybe Liz. That lousy lying dodgy daughter can't be able to hide anything. In other words, about my previous life, I was sprinkled with acorns.

Maybe that's why I wasn't informed.

Whatever. Why didn't you stop Claire, even though we all know it?

"Could it be Claire, the only reason you got a match was to make me stop?

A common sight in this world is a group sighting in the name of social parties. When it breaks down at first sight, it's to keep your pride, etc... Discount for details.

On the surface, it's like a concoction, and it's up to who to stick with beforehand.

And a pageant involving Her Royal Highness Princess Noel. I'm guessing those with names are in on it. I get into a venue like that and grab Claire.

In one shot, my relationship with Claire will be a fait accompli.

Perhaps that's the purpose. Claire, you're left to swing by. I just learned. I'm not gonna be fooled anymore - and that's what I thought.

"No, I'm not. Claire's going to make a pageant and stay engaged."

I can't accept Alice's words.

I don't know what that means. "... what?" and leaks the missing voice between them. I thought about it for a few plenty of seconds and finally understood what it meant.

"He said he was going to make it happen... it's a joke. It's impossible to just join, Claire, but I can't believe you're with someone else... there can't be, can there?

Even if I understand what it means, I'm not convinced. I flatly deny Alice's words.

"... you know that. Claire said she'd do anything for Lion."

"It's..."

True, Claire. That's the kind of girl you are. If Claire, hey, me, is in a situation where one of us has to sacrifice, Claire, hey, we won't hesitate to sacrifice ourselves.

I know that.

But that's why we created an environment for it not to happen. I created it - it should be. And yet, Claire, hey, attend the pageant, even get engaged?

I don't know what that means.

"... Claire, what the hell are you thinking?

"Of course, I'm only thinking about Lion."

"Don't make fun of me. Claire, what the hell is the purpose of this?

"Claire's working hard for someone she loves, isn't she? And yet you think I'll teach?

"You know how I feel, don't you? Claire, but if we're not all happy, I don't think I'm happy."

"If Lyon's happy, Claire must say she's happy, too."

"~ ~ ~ ~"

I understand that reasoning. If I'm in the opposite position, I think the same way.

But for me, Claire. Hey is about to be sacrificed. You know that, and you can't possibly back off.

If Alice doesn't work, I turn my gaze to Sophia.

"Sophia, Claire, tell me what you're thinking."

In opposite positions to Sofia, I have similar experiences.

Sophia will be fine, so I want you to tell me properly. - That's what they told me, and I revealed the secret. So I thought Sophia would know how I felt.

Yet...

"I'm sorry, Lion, brother. Sophia's on your side, Claire."

"Why, why not? Claire, are you serious about sacrificing hey and making me happy?

"Claire, your sister doesn't think you're gonna make a sacrifice."

"I know that. But... that's not the future I want."

If I'm in the opposite position, I'm sure I'll do the same. So when it comes to being selfish, maybe it's selfish. But I don't like bad stuff.

"... I'm sorry, brother Lion. But this time, no matter how much you ask. Even if your brother doesn't like you, Lion, he won't talk to you."

"How did you get so far..."

Even if it's a story, I can't believe Sophia said that much. But at the same time, I really understood what you were saying. I don't know why, but no further pursuit would be possible.

I set my sights on Mother Millie with all my desires.

"Of course, I won't tell you, either, will I?

"... what can you do?

"I really do. It's just... right. We're not going to tell the truth about this one. But I'm not going to stop Lion."

"Really?

"Yes, it is. That's why we're all here."

"Hmm..."

I don't know, Claire, but they don't have a problem breaking your match. Or are you confident that even if I interfere, we'll have a match without any problems?

I don't know... but if everyone won't get in the way, there's a chance. First let's meet Claire. Let's hear the sincerity of it.

- And when the policy came together, anxious to get ahead, Liz finally came back.
