The GM Has Logged Into A Different World - Chapter 44.1

Isekai GM Extra Episode 3. Each of Their Motives

Saint Drag Kingdom, a few days after Victory Celebration.

Inside the Royal Office.

The room was decorated luxuriously, with a flag representing Sky God Bahamut, which the Saint Drag royal family had faith in, hung on the wall. Inside the room was the current king, King Roland, the first prince, Prince Leon, the King’s personal guard and spy, Jirou, and the prime minister, Albert.

Leon. I have especially troubled you in this war. It was a shame of what happened to Aldebaran. Who expected that the Empire would do such things...

Without Masaki, not only me, but the whole continent, including the Empire, would have been in a serious crisis

I see......Then we ought to thank the gods that Masaki-dono had relied on our Kingdom... Though I can't say the same for the other countries

King Roland knew for the fact that the other surrounding countries and kingdoms really want an otherworlder in their arsenal. If they did, a war would be unavoidable.

There was even a tale of a foolish Kingdom which put more than half of its military budget on tools to summon otherworlders. In the end, majority of its soldiers were demolished by 2 otherworlders they summoned. Those 2 otherworlders are Tatsuma and Hayato.

Saint Drag Kingdom was one of a few kingdoms who could stand against the Empire, putting it at the forefront of the war and fought while keeping the surrounding countries together. For that reason, he sent out Jirou and Hayato as reinforcements several times and managed to dominate land battles.

When Masaki decided to rely on the Kingdom, he never expected him to fight, so when he heard that Masaki had overthrown the Empire by his own volition, King Roland was elated to have such a strong ally. When Albert heard the story from Prince Leon, he almost couldn’t believe his ears until he remembered about what happened during the fight with Leviathan.

Just how strong Masaki-dono truly is? I knew for a fact that he had fought the Leviathan and survived without a single scratch. However, how do you feel witnessing his abilities firsthand, Prince Leon, Jirou-sama?

According to our reports, he has an ability to disappear without a trace, an ability to fly, an ability to easily fight hundreds of men without injuries, an ability to control a spell so powerful that could easily incinerate a whole castle into nothing, and an ability to track each and every soldiers in an area regardless of the terrain and weather.

We don’t know how much he still hide, but even with our current knowledge,
he is incredibly powerful

Albert desperately contained his composure while listing Masaki’s absurdly powerful abilities. Even though Masaki was still an ally, the fact that he had fighting capabilities and espionage capabilities that could easily surpass Hayato and Jirou really instilled fear inside him.

Is... Is that so... Masaki-dono had personally asked me to not be involved in politics as one of his rewards. Truthf ully, I am so glad that he asked this. Otherwise the nobles of military faction would not leave him alone. Also, if we declared it officially, the other country can’t move so carelessly as well

According to my subordinates’ investigation, several nobles who had seen Masaki-dono’s abilities during the war had moved their hands. Apart from those people, there are also nobles who seemed jealous of Masaki-dono's achievements and tried ruining his reputation. In both cases, we had arrested and thoroughly interrogated them to look for the masterminds. For now we would continue our investigation and monitor the situation for more developments

Jirou worked as a shadow, spying not only on their enemies, but also their allies.

Corrupt nobles could be found easily in any world and any era. Although he refrained from questioning them for causing troubles during the war, now after the war had ended, they would be punished (or disposed) as soon as they had evidence against them.

That would be fine. Truly, it is fortunate that Masaki-dono is not good with a position of power and yet still puts the people under utmost importance. We may have to rely on his power again in the future. However, we must make sure not to turn him into an enemy. We still have to deal with other minor issues, but the time of peace is finally approaching. We are going to rely on everyone’s support to defend against more reckless disputes in the future. Not only for the sake of the royalties and the nobles, but also for the sake of our people

Everyone present nodded at the Kings declaration as they moved into solving domestic problems that might arise in the future.

Rewinding the time back to when the victory celebration had just ended, a behemoth was pulling a blackened carriage towards the demon territory. The indigo-dressed woman inside, Asta, was watching the starry night and enjoying her trip. The carriage itself was escorted by a squadron of soldiers riding dark unicorns.

Good grief, to send this much escorts even though I am perfectly fine alone
That would be impossible, princess. His majesty is so worried about your reckless departure to the point that he couldn't eat properly

I’m pretty sure I properly left a letter about this, didn't I?

Gluing a letter on the forehead of a commander who was tied in a bondage position is NOT the proper way to leave a letter, princess

Yes yes. My bad. By the way, old man, I found a Genuine among the summoned otherworlders

What!? Is that true? Which one?

The one who they call Hero. Masaki. I confirmed it with my Devil's Lips. Even so, I couldn't get all of the information

Asta traced her thin red lips with her finger.

Devil's Lips

It was one of Asta's unique skills which allowed her to know every abilities, memories, and physical capabilities of anyone she kissed on the lips. However, Masaki's Invincibility and Status Effect Immunity! seemed to have prevented that.

For even princess' unique skill to fail......Even so, does that mean he is the Genuine one?

Most probably, yes. Speaking of which, My Devil's LipsJ can’t read any skills or magic from him, but I at least know that one of his abilities is interfering. If I have to guess, it was probably [Status Effect Immunity] . Even so, it was a bit mixed, but it had a taste of a Genuine

Mixed, I see. Umuu... this is unprecedented

I might be able to get the bottom of this if I kiss him more, but I won’t be able to do that with his fiancfe, Adelhide, around him

So Masaki-dono is Miss Adelhide’s fiancee? Then it wouldn’t be good to push any further. We owe a lot of favor towards the Bernstein family. Not to mention our long history of relationship with that party. We must not do any harm to anyone related to them

Putting that aside, Masaki asked us for help regarding a matter. He was investigating the name [PavariaJ . It seemed related to the name of whoever manipulated the Empire behind the scenes. I don’t care if it’s a place's name, a person's name, or an organization’s name. Find out
everything about this name

It shall be done. As soon as we reached our territory, I shall have the intelligence services to look into this matter

With her finger still on her lips, Asta thought about Masaki while watching the night sky.

Such an interesting human. An otherworlder who not only helped a vampire, but also ended a war rather than extend it. If this is the case, I should tell that person too. Fufu, if only he isn’t Adelle’s fiancee......

Even after days had passed since that kiss, Asta could still taste the lingering sensation during her trip back home.

A man walked down a steel-walled corridor.

His expression was unreadable because of the black cloth that wrapped his face. His black suit was covered in dusts and various stains. The Imitator's footsteps against the steel floor echoed throughout the corridor.

The corridor itself dimly lighted, not by magic, but by something entirely else. When he opened the steel door at the end of the corridor, there was a boy in a navy uniform sitting in a leather chair with a glass of liquid in his hand.

Welcome~I So how’s my ship? Amazing, right?

The boy puffed his chest proudly, to which Imitator only replied with a sigh. He remembered the sights before he entered this place. An enormous warship, surrounded by countless small and medium sized warships to defend it. Not to mention cargo ships around them.

......I admit it’s amazing, but how many monsters and countries are you planning to destroy? Wasn’t it only a heavy cruiser the last time I came here? You said it would take a while until it became a battleship, Great Admiral"

Most of them are monsters, you know? It was like when Leviathan was being manipulated, tons of sea monsters were attacking me. I earned quite a lot from crushing them all, so it’s all good in the end

The Great Admiral drank the liquid in one gulp.lt wasn’t alcohol of any
sort, but a nice cold glass of ramune. The scent of sweet juice drifted into the air and spread throughout the room.

Have you finished that thing on your end? Anyway, you want some?

......I refuse. Actually no. Give me one 

Ara, how rare of you. Ah well-

I can only get this drink on this ship. So just every once in a while

The Great Admiral took a bottle of ramune from the nearby refrigerator and tossed it to Imitator . He caught the bottle without even looking at it and drank more than half of it in one sitting.

Ah yes, that guy is on his way, you know? We’re ready to move to the next plan. Also, I need to take this thing to my country. It’s probably whatever left from that Iro-guy

He picked up a small bundle on the table by pinching its cloth-wrapper. The bundle seemed to be moving on its own, like a long slithery object trapped in a cloth container. One could judge by its wriggling that the contents were still alive.

Creepy. Get that disgusting thing out of my sight

Can’t agree more- I’ll toss it into the safe then

It will spell trouble if it suddenly acts violent when on-board. Good grief, for a bastard who keeps asking me to brew him a tea, he’s quick on his feet

Tea? You? So you're going to make him one?

Hell no. Especially for that bastard

Ahaha. Looks like you really hate that guy that much. Me too, actually. Let's assign someone else to execute that guy’s plan. I’ll be back to my own country, kay?

Yeah.

The boy then grabbed a tube from the wall and put it close to his mouth. That tube was a magic artifact that allowed voices to be heard in large areas. It was an especially useful magic artifact to have for communication among an army.

Ahem... Attention, all officers on board

Prepare for departure

The destination is—

Under the Great Admiral's command, the battleship Raging Dragon dragon and its entire armada set sails to cross the otherworld sea.

Meanwhile, right at the bottom of the sea lies the corpses of countless monsters who dared to challenge the Great Admiral.

Strong or weak, all of them reduced into mere fish food.
