Return of the second person

***---***

The morning after my meeting with Count Gleisner, I visited Oda-sensei at the garrison's temporary quarters.

The purpose was to have Camilla's apology video that was shot last night checked.

If all my classmates could see me, they would beg me to return them to Japan as soon as possible, so I visited the teacher's room in person.

"Good morning, Oda-sensei."

"Oh, Kokubu, good morning."

"Sensei, there's something I would like you to check."

"Check? Is it something to bring back to Japan?"

"Yes, it's Camilla's apology video ..."

"Camilla ... Is that the blonde Princess?"

"Yes, that's right, but ..."

"Is it true that the Princess apologized?"

"Ah ... That's right, you've only met her in Lastock, haven't you."

Come to think of it, I'm the only one who's met Camilla since she changed her attitude, and everyone else's impression of her is the same as when they were treated as monkeys.

So, I told him about Camilla's current situation, and the situation in Resenburg, and then asked him to watch the apology video.

[ I am the Third Princess of the Kingdom of Resenburg, Camilla Resenburg.

With the activation of this summoning ceremony, we would like to offer our condolences to the victims, relatives, and all who were affected, we sincerely apologize to everyone involved for the inconvenience.

I'm very sorry. ]

"Hmm ..."

Oda-sensei, who saw Camilla deeply bowing her head on the video camera monitor, let out a voice without thinking.

For those who only knew the arrogant and proud appearance of Camilla when we were summoned, it would have been impossible to imagine her bowing her head with a solemn look on her face.

In the video, Camilla explained that the reason for the summoning was the progression of desertification in the western part of Resenburg, and that it was to replenish the force for the development of the Devil's Forest, and that the summoned beings transformed into Maous based on past summoning cases. She talked about how they used the slave bracelets to prevent it, and how the summoned people were treated like slaves because of that.

On top of that, even though the struggle for succession to the throne did not free up the military potential, the judgment of relying on an outside source for replenishment, being caught in a past case and using the slave bracelets, she acknowledged mistakes such as the treatment of the summoned people, and deeply bowed her head again.

Also, regarding the fact that the school building collapsed due to the summoning and even though it was completely unexpected that there were many casualties, Resenburg was fully responsible and promised to compensate as much as possible.

Finally, she said that she would hand over 20 Minotaur horns and 200 Orc magic stones as compensation for the time being, while showing the actual items lined up, after more words of apology and a comment wishing for improved relations between Japan and Resenburg, the video ended with Camilla bowing deeply.

"How is it, Sensei. Is there any problem?"

"Well ... She has fully acknowledged her responsibility, apologized, and offered to pay compensation ... She's stressing the point of apologizing. After that, in the case of ordinary crimes and accidents, criminal responsibility would probably be questioned, but, this time it will be difficult to sue because it was caused by summoning magic."

"Is it difficult to fight in court if it's caused by magic?"

"If the cause-and-effect relationship between magic and incidents or accidents cannot be proven, it will be difficult to accuse them. Besides, if the other party is a foreigner, or a royal family from another world, the hurdles will rise even more."

"Honestly, I don't know anything about legal issues, so it's better to leave everything to the government or the police, right?"

"Yes, we have no choice but to let Japan decide."

"So, I've been entrusted with Camilla's personal letter, but can I ask Sensei to translate the contents? Um, the way of using words would be quite suspicious if it's me ..."

"I don't mind doing that, but I can't open the seal of the personal letter."

"Ah, that's fine. I have written the same content."

"Okay, is it better to do it now?"

"Yes, if possible ..."

When I was asking Oda-sensei to translate Camilla's personal letter, Katou-sensei knocked on the door.

"Good morning, Oda-sensei ... Kokubu, you haven't shown your face at all ..."

"I'm sorry, I"m busy with various things ..."

"Katou-sensei, what's wrong?"

"No, I was wondering if you were going to work on the ramparts today ..."

"Right now, I'm translating Princess Camilla's private letter at the request of Kokubu, so when that is done ..."

"A personal letter from Princess Camilla!"

"Shh ... Sensei, your voice is loud."

"Oh, I"m sorry. But, Kokubu, what's going on?"

"Actually, it's ..."

I explained the situation to Katou-sensei and asked him to watch the video.

"Hmm ... That impertinent Princess ... I can't believe it."

"As expected, that's the reaction, isn't it."

"Kokubu, who is this old dog?"

"Ah, that person is called Count Gleisner, and was the leader of the Second Prince's faction."

"Was ...?"

"Yes, the Second and Third Princes died, and Camilla is taking over the faction from now on, so he's like a heavyweight of the Third Princess faction."

Katou-sensei frowned and shook his head when I told him about the power struggle between the First and Second Prince factions, and how the Second Prince and the others were killed.

"Is the royal family and the nobility of Resenburg such a troublesome thing?"

"We were on the receiving end of that."

"The parents who lost their children might not be convinced even if they were shown a video like this, but even so, it might be better than nothing ..."

"I hope I can be of some help, but ..."

"By the way Kokubu, about the return method. Since then, we've been thinking about it as well."

THere were two major points that Katou-sensei and his colleagues thought about.

The first was that the burden on my body seemed to occur when I sucked out magical power and attributes, so they chose people with weak magical power and had them use magic until their magical power was depleted. The idea was that if I gradually got used to it, it would be less of a burden.

"I see, if the amount of magic power is less, it will take less time to suck it out, and it may be possible to reduce the nausea and headaches."

"If we have them use the practice field and use magic until they collapse from magic depletion, the burden will be lightened, and if they do that, the interval can be shortened, right?"

The other was about methods other than kissing to steal magical power and attributes.

I think that the reason why we had to kiss instead of shaking hands and hugging was because we needed to make contact with mucous membranes.

Therefore, he thought that it would be possible to steal magical powers and attributes by making a small cut and touching bloody fingertips.(TN:Because all that power going out a small hole in a small finger is a great idea ... yeah.)

"Considering infection and hygiene, it's not a highly praised method, but isn't it better than kissing between guys?"

"Yes, if you ask me which one to choose, I would choose the wound contact method without hesitation."

"So, Kokubu, the second one to return, how about it?"

"Yes, I was planning to show up at the Investigation Headquarters once Oda-sensei finished translating, so, I can do it any time from now."

"I see, do you know Sekiguchi Shiori from Class 4?"

"No, I don't know her."

"About Sekiguchi, she seems to be quite depressed, so if possible, I want to send her home as soon as possible."

Sekiguchi-san was originally an introvert, so she couldn't get used to living in Volzard and had a bit of a nervous breakdown.

Perhaps, the chairman was talking about Sekiguchi-san.

"Then, I'll go ahead and have Sekiguchi prepare, so please come after Oda-sensei's work is finished."

"Understood. Is the training ground fine?"

Katou-sensei probably intended to bring Sekiguchi-san out ahead of time and make her consume her magic power.

After reviewing the content and completing the clean copy, I asked Oda-sensei to sign it as a translator and put it in an envelope.

"Kokubu, I feel sorry for the fact that I continue to rely on you. Don't overdo it."

"Yes, I will try to find time to rest."

"Is that so, let's go."

"Yes."

Oda-sensei would also accompany me to the training grounds to see if the return of the second person went well.

When I left the teacher's room, the boys who found me gathered.

"Kokubu, what happened to our return."

"Don't say girls are the priority, bring the boys back."

"Hey, if you're giving priority to the girls, then finish the girls as soon as possible."

"I don't mind anytime, do you want me to do buchu?"(TN:buchu is sfx for kissing)

"Isn't there any way other than kissing ..."

"Look, you guys are in the way! Open the way!"

Oda-sensei brushed off the boys who were rushing towards me, and I followed behind him.

Hey, why are you in the dorm at this time ... Everyone should go to work.

Priority to girls will not change, so it will still take a few days for everyone to go home.

The boys who gathered complained about it, but I'll use the teacher as a shield and ignore them.

When we moved to the training grounds, there were about a dozen girls who seemed to have heard the story, along with Senzaki-sensei, Ayako-sensei, and the chairman.

"Good morning, Kento, are you okay?"

"Good morning, yeah, I was so busy that I forgot."

"Don't overdo it."

"Yeah, I know."

The chairman leaned in with a flowing naturalness and entwined our arms.

"Kokubu, I'm sorry to interrupt your enjoyment, but is it okay if we start now?"

"Ah, yes, I understand."

Sekiguchi-san, who was the target person, was standing behind the large Katou-sensei.

She had bobbed hair, was a little overweight, and was much shorter than me, probably the shortest in the class.

Due to lack of sleep, she had dark circles under her eyes, and her complexion also wasn't good.

"Sekiguchi, just in case, use magic again."

"One more time ... I understand ..."

If she smiled a little more, her face would look more charming, but her sullen wrinkled brows made her look gloomy.

"Mana, oh mana, oh mana that governs the world ... gather, gather, gather in my hands and become the wind ... dance, dance, dance oh wind, dance, and become a blade! Yaa ..."

The wind blade was invisible, so I don't know if the magic had been activated, but Sekiguchi-san was breathing heavily right after she swung down her right arm.

"Haa, haa, haa ... Hurry up ... Hurry up, so I can go back to Japan!"

Sekiguchi-san's eyes, which were looking down, certainly looked a little dangerous.

"Sensei, I'm going to start, but what should I do ..."

"Then, can you come over here?"

Chizaki-sensei, not Katou-sensei, started the explanation.

It seemed that Senzaki-sensei came up with the idea of trying to suck out magical power and attributes by aligning the wounds.

We wiped our fingertips with the high-strength distilled alcohol we prepared for disinfection.

"Then, let's hold each other's hands, put our fingertips together and make a contract ... No, it's nothing. Kokubu-kun, try it."

"Yes, I will try."

Just now, I was about to say something about the contract, but if I pursue it deeply, I think I'll see the darkness of Senzaki-sensei, so I'll stop.

Sekiguchi-san's hands were small, plump and girlish, and I had to slightly shift my palms to meet her fingertips.

Our wounds touched each other, and a sharp pain ran through us, and we frowned at the same time.

Focusing my attention on my fingertips, I can certainly feel the magic.

"Okay, let's start."

"Yes ..."

The moment I saw Sekiguchi-san nod and tried to suck out Sekiguchi-san's magical power from her fingertips.

"Guu!" "Ouch!"

Shock and pain that seemed to be dozens of times stronger than static electricity ran through us, and we involuntarily let go of our held hands and fingertips.

"What happened? What happened?"

"No way, the contract failed ..."

The chairman and Senzaki-sensei hurriedly approached.

"Yuika, I'm fine, so please treat Sekiguchi-san."

"I understand ... Sekiguchi-san, I'll heal you, so give me your fingers. Mana, oh mana, oh mana that governs the world, gather, gather, gather in my hands and heal!"

The fingertips where the impact ran were split open and blood was overflowing.

What looked white might be bones.

I tried my best to heal myself and close the wounds.

"Sensei, this is no good. I thought my fingertips were blown off."

"I'm sorry. I didn't think it could end up in such a terrible situation ... I wonder if it's the compatibility of your souls ..."

Yeah, it seemed like I should be a little more careful with Senzaki-sensei's ideas.

"Why! Why am I the only one who has to go through something like this!"

Surprised by the sudden hysterical voice, I turned around and saw Sekiguchi-san screaming with her hair disheveled.(TN:Always try new things with mentally unstable people ... GJ!)

"Why do I have to go through such a painful experience! Even if I can use magic, it's only useful as a fan, why am I the only one ... No more, what about Resen. What about Volzard. This whole world should just perish."

"Sekiguchi-san, calm down."

"It's fine! Asakawa-san received amazing magic, was called a Saint, and what she wore and ate was very different from us!"

"No way ... I was ..."

"It's fine! You can stick with Kokubu-kun, who got cheats, flirt, be sticky, defeat lots of monsters, make a lot of money, and live without any inconvenience. You don't understand the feelings of a person like me who has no merit!"

Of course, the chairman and I haven't just been having fun, so if you listen to it normally, it's probably an angry line, but the appearance of screaming while scratching your hair like a mountain witch feels more dangerous than uncomfortable.

"Sekiguchi-san, calm down."

Sekiguchi-san snaps even when Senzaki-sensei tries to calm her down on behalf of the chairman.

"Shut up! Don't pretend to be a teacher when you can't do anything! What, with this method, you don't have to kiss. Don't say inappropriate things. You can't imagine how much that hurt? Try it yourself!"

"I'm sorry. We also tried it with good intentions, so there was no malice."

"Don't screw with me! In the end, didn't you just want to use me as a test subject."

"Sekiguchi-san ..."

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! I can't trust you guys, even though you said Kizawa-san has been sent back to Japan, but you really must have thrown her away somewhere. Die, die, you guys should all die!"

"Sekiguchi-san!"

After screaming, Sekiguchi-san ran away from the training grounds, and was chased by Senzaki-sensei, Ayako-sensei, and several girls who seemed to be Sekiguchi-san's friends.

"Umm ... What should I do?"

Both Oda-sensei and Katou-sensei were overwhelmed by the sudden situation.

No matter how you look at it, it would be difficult for Sekiguchi-san to return today.

"It can't be helped, someone else ..."

As soon as Oda-sensei said that, my classmates who had gathered around us rushed in.

"Me! Send me back to Japan!"

"What are you talking about! Men are later!"

"Don't screw with me! This happened because you gave the girls priority!"

"Don't mix me in with the crazy Sekiguchi!"

"I, I'm prepared to do it!"

That's why, I want you to know that I wasn't prepared for that.

In the end, I chose the girls with the least amount of magical power, and finally chose one by rock-paper-scissors.

Mizuho Kubo-san had a weak amount of earth attribute magic, and she seemed to have had a hard time in Lastock.

In the midst of that food situation, how exactly did she secure her nutrition, or did she quickly store up after coming to Volzard, she has a fairly plump body.

Since I came to this world, I realize I've trained quite a bit, but I don't have the confidence to hold Kubo-san like a princess.

She fires hardening magic repeatedly, and when she's used up all her mana, I try to steal the attribute.

It's dangerous if we fall over, so we sat down on a sheet spread out on the ground and faced each other.

"Well then, can we start?"

"yes, please, Prince."

"Eh, Prince?"

"Ufufufu, because the Prince that Asakawa-san was talking about all the time at the Lastock clinic was Kokubu-kun, right?"

"Umm ... That's right, it looks like it."

"For me, too, Kokubu-kun is a prince ..."

Kubo-san spread her arms and closed her eyes.

Is it practice taking a sumo wrestler stance ... and, it's a secret that I thought such.

I gently put my lips on top of hers and her arms tightly hugged me.

When I broadened my awareness, I certainly felt that the amount of magical power felt form within Kubo-san's body was considerably less than when it was Kizawa-san.

However, since the magical power spread to every corner of the body, it seemed that it would take some time to absorb it.

And, after all, when a foreign magical power flowed into my body, I was attacked by a headache and nausea of refusal.

"Kuh ... Uuun ..."

I'm the one who absorbs the mana, so I don't know what it feels like to have it sucked out, but it seemed like she was feeling quite a bit of pain.

Even if I thought it would be better to hurry up a bit, the magical power scattered in every nook and cranny of her body didn't gather as I expected.

"Uuuun ... Kuuu ..."

Even Kubo-san, who I felt her complexion was too good before I started taking the attribute, after all, it seemed that her body temperature had decreased and was turning pale.

At the time with Kizawa-san, it took over 10 minutes to suck out the magical power, but this time I was able to absorb more than 80% of the magical power in about 5 minutes.

Just when I thought it was just a little longer, Kubo-san's arms got stronger.

Gueeeee, hey ... I'm going to return the magical power I sucked out ...

But, I couldn't stop here, so I desperately continued to suck it out.

When I pulled out and sucked up all the magical power that was circulating in every corner of her body, Kubo-san's body suddenly felt weak.

"Nhaa ... Ugh ... Gee, I can't do this, I'm going to diiiie ..."

"Prince ... Hug ..."

Kubo-san, what are you talking about with that ecstatic face ... I can't do that even when I'm in good physical condition.

"Uhh ... Reinhardt, please ..."

[ Buhahaha, it can't be helped. ]

"I'm going for a while ..."

I put out a shield of darkness, had Reinhardt hold Kubo-san in his arms, and headed to the Investigation Headquarters.

When I was sucking out the magical power, I thought it wouldn't be as bad as last time, but when I finished stealing the attribute and gave her my magical power, I was suffering from severe nausea and headache.

I put out a shield of darkness next to Sudou-san's desk in the Investigation Headquarters and asked Reinhardt to take Kubo-san out.

"Uhh ... Sudou-san, here's the second person."

"Kokubu-kun, oh, is she the second person."

"I have magic stones, but gee ... Hey, I'll come back later ... Ueee."

"Ah, Prince ..."

"Kokubu-kun ..."

Kubo-san and Sudou-san seemed to want to say something, but I didn't have time to spare.

[ Are you okay, Kent-sama? ]

"No ... I can't do it, gee ... I'm going to the Devil's Forest ..."

I wondered if I was no good because I was hungry last time, but this time I returned everything that was left in my stomach, and asked Nero again to use it as a bed, and surrounded by Mart and the others, I fainted.
