Chapter 2: 2
Guided by Lilia-san, we left the dark underground room and arrived at a large hall with gorgeous interior decorations . It looks like the explanation for the Hero, Mitsunaga-kun, will be done here, making him stay behind here together with religious-looking white-robed people . I was guided to a different room with the two high school girls .
The room was about half as big compared to the large hall before, sufficiently wide and decorated in a middle-age theme . There is a long table and chairsーーthough there wasn’t an air of a different world on it, so I really can’t feel like I’m in another world .
“Please take a seat . Luna, give our three guests something to drink . ”
“Understood . ”
Lilia-san sat across us and gave an order to Luna-san who took off her robe who knows when revealing a maid uniform underneath it . I couldn’t see well in the dark room earlier and she was also wearing the hood of her robe, so I didn’t notice that Luna-san’s well-trimmed, shoulder-long hair was light blue in color… there it exists, the so-called air of a different world .
After seeing Luna-san bow and leave the room, we timidly took a seat . First, I sat facing Lilia-sanーーa chair to the right from the chair directly facing her, and Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san sat two chairs away from me .
“Firstly, please let us apologize once again for suddenly calling you to a different world, as well as taking so long to explain the situation to you due to our side’s circumstances . ”
“Ah, please don’t mind us……”
“Uhm, what are we…… what is going to happen to us from now on?”
It was Kusunoki-san who asked the thing that I’m the most curious of . Her expression that suits the words Yamato Nadeshiko1 together with her long, shiny black hair and slender figure, looks a little calmer compared to me . I’m sure that she’s a strong woman in her core, yes, that comparison doesn’t have anything to do with me being a coward or anything .

“First, as a major premise, I shall take an oath that in the name of my “House of Duke Albert” that we shall not do harm to the four of you including Mitsunaga-sama . ”
“……House of…… Duke Albert?”
“Oh . Please excuse me . I should have explained my status first . Once again, my name is Lilia Albert . I am…… a noble of Symphonia Kingdom, holding the noble title of a Duke . ”
“My Lady Lilia is the His Majesty the King’s half-blooded sister, having a noble title as well as possessing the fourth in succession rights to the throne . That is why, the words that My Lady swore in the name of her household can be taken as the Kingdom’s consensus . ”
Duke?! Succession to the throne?! Although I’ve expected this, she was an absurdly noble person .
“By the way, she is currently 22 this year, and in this Symphonia Kingdom where one would usually marry in the age of 15 to 19, she is a rare case of being single as a noble Duke . ”
“……Luna? Why are you spouting out such information? Those things, they’re absolutely not needed right?”
“Please forgive me My Lady, I just thought that it is already shameful for you to be called “My Lady” recently……”
“……I think that we need to have a proper talk later, Luna . ”
This, what is this? Why do I feel pity… although she looks like a very noble beauty and her manners and the tone of her voice were kind, it’s like…… well, Luna-san is also pretty ruthless .

“……I-I’m going to continue . I am going to continue to answer Kusunoki-sama’s question earlier . I believe that the thing that you are most worried about is whether you can return to your previous world, but please be assured of that point . ”
“W-We…… can return?”
The one who asked back with a slightly frightened voice is Yuzuki-san who has a short brown hair and looks as cute as a small critter . Seeing Kusunoki-san gently hold the frightened Yuzuki-san’s hand, adding Yuzuki-san’s small stature to that, one could easily see that they’re in a senpai-kouhai relationship . But, Yuzuki-san’s chest is moreーーstop, what am I thinking?!
“Yes…… it’s just, uhm……”
Lilia-san who heard Yuzuki-san’s words showed an expression of having difficulties on how to say it . This, is it really like that? There’s a Demon Lord-like being, and we can’t go back until we defeat it .
If that’s the case, then trusting Lilia-san will be difficultーー
“It will take…… a year before the summoning magic circle can be reused . ”
“A-A year?!”
Hm? This is a little different from what I expected . The two girls were probably surprised about it being as long as a year, but I was surprised in a different sense . That’s right . The clear condition feels a little, loose…
Normally, in this kind of development, shouldn’t we be unable to go back until the Demon Lord’s defeated? Oh yeah, maybe that’s the case with Mitsunaga-kun . That might be the reason why he’s receiving an explanation by himself .

And although I called it loose, to be missing for a whole year, one won’t be easily convinced considering the influence it would have when we go back .
“……no way, the competition’s so near too…”
“Hina-chan, that’s not the problem, it’s……”
Is Yuzuki-san a natural air-head? I’m rather impressed that she’s able to worry about her competition in this situation .
