Things To Do
The fifth day. Arte and Nina played around the village together and spent their time looking genuinely happy. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
And the sixth day - the final day of the request - arrived.
After I had my breakfast, Arte came to my house, along with Stella, Nina, and Andre.
Nina and the others already know that today is the day Arte returns.
They probably came here to send her off.
「……Arte-oneechan, are you going home already?」
Nina asked Arte with a lonely look on her face.
The two of them have become completely close over the past 3 days.
This is why this kind of farewell is a sad one for her.
「I wish I could have stayed here a little longer. But I have things I must do」
Arte stroked Nina’s head with a complicated smile that looked like a happy and troubled at the same time.
While there is not that much difference in their height, Arte's interaction with Nina like this made her look like the older sister.
「……I understand. Come visit us again, okay?」
「Um, definitely ja」
Nina and Arte reluctantly held their hands together and then let go. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「I will teach you how to fish next time, so come here anytime!」
「Nina has become really close to you, and having Arte around really brightens the hous,e so I also wholeheartedly welcome you again anytime」
「Andre, Stella.....thank you, both of you. I will definitely come back to play when I have the time!」
Arte’s face lights up, deeply touched by Andre and Stella’s words.
I’ll probably have to bring her here again at that time, but Arte looked really happy playing in Howling village, so I thought to help her as much as I could.
「Should we return to the royal capital?」
I ask her after saying goodbye to Nina and the others.
「No, there’s one last place I want you to take me」
Seeing Arte’s serious expression, that place is probably the place Arte wants to visit the most.
The place she wants to go next is the true destination she wishes for me to take her to.
「Where is it?」
「Here ja」
She took out a small map from her breast pocket and pointed at a place.
That place is a plot of land west of the royal capital. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Or strictly speaking, it is a land owned by the royal family.
It was a place only members of the royal family were allowed to enter.
And by revealing this, it is no different from Arte revealing her own status.
In other words, Arte is a royalty.
「Okay. I won’t say I can take you there in an instant, but I will」
「……even if I say I want to go there, nothing will change, right?」
「Well, I mean, Arte has the qualification to enter there, right?」
「What, so you already knew huh.....」
「I realized it halfway」
I probably wouldn’t have noticed it if Emilio had not pointed it out to me.
I thought the royalties are people I will have no relation with, people who are above the clouds. I was really shaken when Emilio informed me.
「Though it’s strange coming from me, but you understood me and I could stay natural around you that way」
「But, the one who requested my service was the adventurer Arte, right? So I will just treat you like the adventurer you are」
Also, I am not a person from this world, and it might be because I have a weak image of the privileged class. And even though they are royals with great authority, to be honest, it doesn’t really feel real to me.
Although, as expected, it is impossible to come into contact with them in public and behave casually like this. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「That’s also true jana. Then, please keep things as they are for a bit longer」
「Okay」
Since Arte doesn’t seem to mind it, I decided to continue talk like this with her for a little longer.
「Nina, Stella, Andre, thank you for your hospitality! I will come again when I have the time!」
「Un! Come again!」
Nina, Andre, and Stella wave their hands at Arte’s parting words.
「Umm! Then, farewell!」
As Arte replied while waving back, I cast Teleport at the same time.
The scenery changes from Howling village to a spacious plain.
「Hm? This is a different place from what I told you, y’know?」
That’s right, this is Karts plain, west of the royal capital.
We have gotten closer to the place Arte asked for, but there is still a long way to go.
「Unfortunately, that place is somewhere I’ve never been t,o so I can’t go there in one go」
I mean, it’s a place where only the royalty can enter. There is no way a commoner like me can enter, so people there may get suspicious if I carelessly approach. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Meaning, I have never done any mapping of that area, so I can’t teleport directly there.
「Hoo, so Kureto’s magic has such a restriction jana. It was so convenient I took it for granted」
「By the way, if you could, around what time would you like to go home?」
「I want to go back by noon if possible. I won’t be able to make it in time for the evening parade if I don’t return by then and get severely scolded」
「I think you will get scolded severely even if you return now」
「Don’t say that. It’s a place I really want to go」
Arte’s eyes take on a distant look as though gazing at something far away when I raise a reasonable point.
It’s like she’s trying to escape from reality. There’s no way the people in the palace wouldn’t be angry if the Princess went missing before the parade.
「Fine. Then let’s head there as soon as possible. It’s going to be a rough ride so bear with me」
「Um, bring it on!」
For the sake of Arte and the government officials, I'd better finish our business quickly and return.
After saying that, Arte puffed out and proudly hit her chest. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Oh, so it’s fine if it gets a little rough, is it? That’s reassuring. Then I’ll do this without reservation.
「Then, let’s go flying」
「Hm? Just now――」
Unfortunately, there is no time to waste for Arte to tilt her head in confusion and ask questions as I cast multiple teleportations to the western sky. We teleported to an altitude of around 100 meters instantly.
We start the feeling of gravity pulling us down while experiencing a floating sensation after teleporting to the air.
「What the heck is thhhiiiiiiisssssssssss!?」
And finally, understanding her situation, Arte screamed.
「Ku, Kuretoo! We’re gonna fall! We’re gonna fall! We’re gonna fall! No, we’re already falling!!」
「It’s fine! We will teleport again just before we can hit the ground!」
I teleported again several kilometers ahead before we could fall and hit the ground.
Once again, teleported high to the sky, we fell to the ground and rested.
However, I repeatedly teleport and move forward in the blink of an eye before we can hit the ground, so there is no problem.
If there is any real problem, that will be the feeling of dread when falling from high up in the sky, and also the intermittent floating sensation from high up and falling, which feels unpleasant until you get used to it.
But, it’s impossible to fall and crash to the ground with my magic as I won’t let us fall close to the ground.
The thrill is probably about the same as those free-fall rides you find in the amusement park.
「Arte, it’s a little scary, but once you get used to it, the scenery is beautiful, right?」
「…………」
「Arte?」
I thought it would be boring to just keep silent so I called out to her, but Arte didn’t reply.
Rather, it’s extremely quiet.
Wondering what happened to her, I tried looking at Arte and found her floating limply in midair. I turned to look at Arte, and she was spinning unsteadily and her eyes were rolled back.
「Ah, she fainted」
It was the kind of face you should not let others see as a lady before being a princess.
I can teleport us while she is unconscious, but I can’t bear to toss the unconscious Arte in the sky while Teleporting.
I helplessly hold Arte in my hands and decide to silently use Teleport repeatedly like that.
Let’s apologize to her when we arrive at our destination. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
