Monsters from the Land of the Impossible Land on the Great Yng Empire
The forced use of the magic sword Alsace seems to be gradually shortening the time it takes for my pathetic body to recover, as the number of times I’ve been “paralyzed” increases.
Because, previously, I lay there for over half a month, being taken advantage of by Kephiel every day, yet this time, after just a few days—even while Miss Saint Ikusis had her leg in a cast—I was already bouncing around.
But the following events left me far from happy. The previously agreed-upon “Saint must understand the actions of Oujilide and then use ‘prophecy’ to suggest whether to revoke the arrest warrant” had reached its deadline. However, this idiot’s recent little schemes made me feel anxious.
At this moment, at the venue of the summit of nations.
The traces of the earlier battle had been cleaned up by Queen Louise IV recently; no one would know that the spot they were sitting on had almost been demolished by Kephiel’s antics just days ago. As the queen, Louise IV only needed to preside over one matter today—how to handle the suggestion regarding the arrest warrant for Oujilide from the church’s Saint Ikusis.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the nations, during this time, our Great Yng Empire has provided all possible leads and past actions regarding Oujilide to Her Highness the Saint, based on the principles of fairness and justice.”
The queen’s lies were as nonchalant as ever, her smile hiding any trace of guilt.
“The agreed-upon time has come; I believe Her Highness the Saint has surely gleaned a suitable suggestion from the ‘prophecy.’ This suggestion has not been shared with anyone, so it is undoubtedly an unbiased recommendation. I hope you will now share your thoughts, Your Highness.”
All the prominent figures in the hall turned their gazes toward Ikusis. She might be an idiot, but her prophecies were indeed accurate, and her popularity was undeniable. Thus, her somewhat foolishly nervous behavior was interpreted as [the Saint has ulterior motives], a wild misinterpretation.
With the queen no longer willing to assist, Ikusis’s “suggestion” would almost determine whether I could clear my name. Yet, this was precisely what I worried about, because this idiot…
“Ahem, well, I’ll ‘suggest’ my judgment on Oujilide.”
Don’t be fooled by her seeming alignment with us now; in the script, she still harbored unnecessary thoughts.
[Ikusis does not intend to clear Oujilide’s name.]
[Ikusis herself wants to continue observing Oujilide in the Great Yng Empire but fears trouble from Kephiel, so she decides to distance from responsibility.]
This idiot was so poor at disguising her intentions that even before she spoke, I could see her next plans clearly from the script. To put it simply: she had her eyes on me but was afraid of being beaten up by Kephiel, so she wanted to shift the blame. Truly pure malice, utterly foolish.
I had no intention of stopping her; the script was already set. I couldn’t force Ikusis to clear my name. If she couldn’t, then so be it. I just hoped this idiot wouldn’t tarnish my reputation. After all , whether I cleared my name or not didn’t change my current situation, and I could always seek opportunities later.
So, I didn’t meet Ikusis’s gaze but stood dumbly behind the queen, watching this idiot stammer, wanting to say something but too afraid to do so.
“Your Highness! What exactly is the prophecy!?”
“Exactly! Please give us a ‘prophecy’ so we can decide. After all, we have to have a top-level wanted criminal every year, and just the investigation costs a lot!”
“Hey, church lady, if you dare say one word against it, I’ll show you why Siberia is so cold!”
Amidst the clamoring voices, a sudden threat from Russia made Ikusis even more timid.
“This, this… I…”
Come on! If you want to clear it, just say so! If you don’t want to clear it but are fixed on me, just say it! Do you want to drive Kephiel mad!?
I planned to cough to remind Ikusis, ending her torment, but the next moment…
Because of the thoughts I had seen from Ikusis, the script I had been observing suddenly changed, and at the same time, the venue of the summit was pushed open from the outside. Professor Moriarty, who should have been guarding outside, walked in with a serious expression, even more tense than when she had previously announced, “The representative from the Land of the Impossible is coming!”
This was understandable! After all, the content I saw in the script was something that left me utterly uneasy!
[Members from the Land of the Impossible are coming to attend the meeting!]
Here is the translation of the novel excerpt:
Trouble’s arrived!
Claudia, who had come to represent the unattainable place, had been solved by Kefir and disappeared, and the queen, thinking that it was not a good idea to stir up trouble, did not take any action against the members who were left behind, but instead created an opening for them to quietly leave. As for the outside world, the queen continued to claim that the representative of the unattainable place couldn’t adapt to the environment and left.
Now they’re back? The witch has returned, is she still planning to be stabbed by Kefir again?!
But I quickly realized my thinking was too simplistic, and before I could continue observing the script, Professor Moriaty had already given an answer.
“What’s wrong, Moriaty? We’re in the middle of a meeting.”
“The members of the unattainable place are coming.”
Considering that the other kingdoms believed that the unattainable place was a den of thieves, they would definitely not like to see the representative appear, Moriaty ignored their noisy discussion and came over to us.
“This time, it’s not a representative, but rather… the king of the unattainable place.”
I clenched my fist immediately, and Kefir grabbed my sleeve, as some people’s identities were not difficult to guess for the two of us. Even Ikusis’s reaction, which was closest to us, proved my guess.
“Ah… I’m going to die…”
Her voice changed instantly, and she transformed into a book lying on the table.
【Ikusis returned to her original form and pretended to be dead.】
Holy Lady, you’re being too weak, aren’t you?!
“…Please have them come over, remember, nothing has happened before.”
The queen’s smile, which had been maintained on her face, slowly disappeared, and she finally made a serious decision, turning to me with a hint of questioning in her eyes, as if she was asking for my opinion to confirm whether she had really made the decision.
I…
It’s not that I’m unclear about the situation, but rather that I thought this moment had arrived, not just for me, but also for Kefir, and even the script we were using was still in an “unexpected” state, unprepared.
The fairy who could “command” others, Jasmine; the fairy who was by the queen’s side, Ignis; the fairy that was supposed to be left for Kefir in the kingdom of Prussia, Magnus; and then… the two fairies related to the church and the unattainable place…
All of these seemed to be “treasures” left for Kefir to “upgrade” and possibly from the beginning, someone else would occupy them, or… these were not meant for Kefir, but for someone who belonged to the same “main character ” in the script, completing her “blood debt” script.
All of these pointed to one person, Kefir’s former maid, who had always been a girl I wanted to stop from “maxing out”, but still failed to do so – Nelly.
The queen stood up, and I took a step forward to her side, as in the script, the other side was about to ignore the waiting and come straight over!
“Thanks… but I think I’d rather be a cannon fodder, it’s good for me to save some trouble later, I don’t want to take on that level of trouble…”
Saying this, the queen adjusted her expression, and indeed, she didn’t let me go first, but instead gently pushed me aside, making me accompany Kefir, whose face was not very good.
Finally, she smiled and walked out of the meeting room, greeting the figure waiting outside.
“Oh my, the king of the unattainable place, you should say that you’re really opening our eyes, aren’t you? If you don’t discipline your subordinates, it will create a misunderstanding about the unattainable place… I don’t know how to address you, ‘King of the Unattainable Place’?”
