第８６３堀：海の技術者と面会 (Part2)
"Ah, as expected, you're still tired from yesterday's battle? If so, don't push yourself..."
But that's not the point right now.
Yuki said he'd escort me, so I have to do my best!
If I don't try hard here, the path to becoming a bride will be a long one!
"I'm fine. Yuki, leave it to me. This is important work, after all."
"Hmm."
As I said that, Yuki stared at me intently for some reason, then suddenly leaned his face closer.
Huh? Did he finally notice my charm?
"W-what are you doing leaning so close, Yuki-sensei!?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry, sorry."
W-what?! This Mikos!! Are you trying to interfere with Yuki and my love!?
"No, you see, you collapsed from overexertion before, remember? I was worried you might be pushing yourself again."
"Ah, you're right, that happened."
"Indeed. Kagura might do something like that."
"Senpai, are you alright?"
"Kagura-dono. Overexerting yourself will only inconvenience those around you, so it's better to be honest about it."
"Ah, um. I'm fine. I'm completely fine."
Tch, they all started worrying too, so I can't even get angry at Mikos.
"...Yeah, well, for now, it seems you're okay. We're not going to see any corpses this time, after all."
"Ahaha..."
If we were really going to see corpses, I would definitely refuse to accompany them.
I still have nightmares about that church, and I wasn't prepared for the scene of Shila-chan's comrades being dismembered.
"Well then, let's move. They're coming all the way to our house, so we need to give them a proper welcome. Give me some advice on that."
"Understood. Let's go right away. Everyone else, are you ready?"
When I asked, everyone nodded in unison.
Enola and Princess Stasia were also with us.
Well, it's only natural that these two would want to identify the person who created the weapons Yuki and the others are wary of.
And so, we returned to SeaSiphon...
"Master, it appears the target has entered the town."
"Is that so? They seem to be in a hurry."
"Wha—!? That was faster than I expected. And they don't have any servants, so no welcoming party...?"
"You don't need to worry about that, Kagura-sama. I'll have my subordinates handle it."
As Kirika said that, her subordinates, dressed in server and butler uniforms, suddenly appeared and bowed deeply.
I see, now that I think about it, Kirika manages this mansion, so it's not strange for them to be here.
"However, the problem is the developer who is heading this way."
"Eh? Ah, right, they're already within our surveillance range. Yuki, do you know anything about the developer's background?"
All eyes turned to Yuki at my words, but...
"Kirika. Are you ready to move at any time?"
"Yes. As always."
"I see. Now, it's a matter of how they'll act. Still, this is troublesome. It's my first time meeting a reincarnator."
" " "Reincarnator?" " "
"Reincarnator!?"
We all tilted our heads at Yuki's words, but only Taiki exclaimed in surprise.
"W-where are they from?"
"It's not specified. I'm not even sure if they're from the same Japan. After all, they're a reincarnator. It's not necessarily Earth, and it's a complicated story. But I can understand the pseudo-gun. They probably weren't able to create it themselves, but tried to replicate weapons from their original world."
"That... would make sense."
"They're 34 years old this year, so it was long before Luna's summoning restrictions. There are so many summoners now, it's not strange for there to be reincarnators."
"Ah, that's right. A reincarnator, huh? That's troublesome."
Yuki and Taiki continued their conversation, completely ignoring us, but we couldn't follow their discussion at all.
"Um, Yuki. Could you tell me about this 'reincarnator' thing?"
"Ah, isn't reincarnation a Buddhist concept?"
"No, it's just that the major one is Eastern, but religiously, it's quite a common concept on Earth. Well, you might not understand what a reincarnator is. This is another world, so it's understandable that you wouldn't know. Alright, I'll explain what a reincarnator is in simple terms."
And so, before we could even meet the pseudo-gun developer from SeaSiphon, we ended up receiving a lecture from Yuki.
It's not the ideal situation where I'm being relied upon and my favorability is increasing, but this is fine too, isn't it?
The background of SeaSiphon's engineer or developer has been revealed!
Their true identity is a reincarnator.
Now then, is this reincarnator an ally or an enemy?
What is the reason for their immediate request for an audience?
The greatest battle in the Kingdom of SeaSiphon may be about to begin!
