    You and My Secret. (2)



    “What the… Hey, are you guys joking?”

    “””… … “””

    I look at the man who let out a pitiful voice as if he was dumbfounded by the sight of his escorts suddenly collapsing in my arms.

    ‘Andrewin Royal Labyrinth… The villain who caused a mess in the Imperial Ranking Battle storyline [Princess Coti Royal Labyrinth]… Did that bastard kidnap the princess after all?’

    Blonde hair that was completely different from the princess’s, and blood-red eyes that looked and felt like hers, but were not like her at all.

    As I had expected, and as the Crown Prince had told me in the conversation, it was her ‘real older brother’ who had kidnapped her, following the same flow as the novel.

    “Ah, uh… roo, dis… ?”

    “Please close your eyes and wait a moment. I will take you to His Highness the Crown Prince right away.”

    “That’s not it…!”

    She now forgot the concept she had been maintaining and grabbed my arm tightly, shaking her head like a wet puppy.

    Her face was covered in dirt, her silver hair, which had been neatly arranged like silk, was now disheveled as if struck by lightning, and the white dress that had suited her so well had turned completely brown.

    -Cracked.

    “Hic… !”

    “I’m sorry. I’m not mad at you, Princess, but I’ll apologize later anyway, so just wait a moment… “

    “Hey! You’re a total lunatic, you know who I am and you’re having a romantic relationship with your little sister in front of me… “

    “Shut your mouth.”

    “What…?”

    -Kkaang!

    When he threateningly strikes the floor with the club he holds in one hand, the guards except for him flinch and distance themselves.

    But I know that the kid doesn’t react because he’s brave or stronger than the other guards, but because he’s convinced that I can’t hit him.

    “Phuhat…!! Wow, I’m really dumbfounded? Hey, didn’t I just tell you? I’m his older brother… “

    -fault!

    Before he could finish speaking, I kicked the ground and swung my sword with the intention of splitting the guy’s skull apart.

    -Kaaaang!!

    “”!!””

    “Huh… ?”

    But this time, my attack was stopped by the swords of the two guards who had drawn their swords and were taking a stance.

    The two guys who had blocked me felt themselves being pushed back by the sword I swung with one hand, which only increased the tension.

    But that’s just too late and too much tension. Moreover, you don’t dare come when I’m the opponent?

    This is something that has a price to pay.

    “Those fucking kids.”

    -Bam!!

    “Cough!”

    I kicked one of the guys blocking my sword in the stomach.

    “You bastard… !!”

    “To a weak woman.”

    -Bam!!

    “Kkw?!”

    He broke another guy’s arm with a club.

    “Die…!!”

    “And then I thrust my teeth at my master who trusted me.”

    -Kkaang!

    “?!”

    After lightly blocking the remaining attack that rushed towards my back.

    “You don’t think you want to go home alive, do you?”

    -Snap!!

    “Ouch… !”

    I hit the bastard’s chin with my fist and turned his balls around.

    In an instant, three escorts rode the Jordan River Express in a Paru, and the Second Prince Andrew looked at me with bewildered eyes as if he couldn’t believe it.

    “What the fuck… Didn’t you say Martial Arts Level 2 and Swordsmanship Level 2? The weakest of these guys is Level 4? “

    “I guess you guys were mistaken.”

    And finally, when I raised the hammer to split the guy’s head open, the guy finally asked me, “What the hell, no…?” and asked if I was really going to hit him.

    “Of course.”

    And then I immediately dropped the ball on the guy’s head.

    -Whoa!

    -Stop.

    Before the blow reaches his forehead, the princess’s movements, which hold my clothes tightly, stop the attack.

    “Oh, no.”

    “… Won’t His Highness the Crown Prince do something about it?”

    “But that won’t do. Hey… If you touch this kid, you’ll be in real trouble.”

    Seeing her call him “this brat” without hesitation even though he’s the prince, it seems like he really is her real older brother.

    And I don’t care if the Crown Prince can’t sort this out.

    Recently, I have resolved my awkward relationship with my master, and so my back has returned as one of the only two magicians in the world.

    In other words, if you kill this bastard and the mastermind behind him is acting up, you can tell the master to do something about it.

    “Please… no.”

    But the princess desperately shook her crimson eyes and told me not to hit her, that I shouldn’t kill that brat here.

    If you look at me like that, I can’t possibly hit that little brat’s head.

    “… Sigh.”

    -Kkaang.

    “Keep going! Right, right? Koti, even if you act like a fool, you’re not a bitch who doesn’t think straight… “

    -Tsk!!

    “Evil?!”

    As soon as I threw the Paru on the floor, the guy got so proud that he started to open his mouth, so I slapped his cheek with my palm, and his lip split and blood came out of his nose.

    “Did you think I wouldn’t beat you just because the princess told me not to?”

    “Hey, you piece of shit…! You little shit, do you know who I really am… !!”

    -Tsk!!

    “Huh?!”

    ” It’s a dog -like cub, you know who I am? ◦ ◦ ◦

    “Okay, let’s go to sleep… “

    -Tsk!!

    “Fuck, I’m the terrorist who detonated the bomb at the central magic stone of the Royal Academy of Frisia.”

    -Tsk!!

    “Wait, wait…?!”

    -Tsk!!

    “But do you think I can’t kill Nakaori, who didn’t even enter the academy among the royal family?”

    “Wait, wait… I, I’m really dying… “

    -Tsk!!

    “Cough… !!”

    “If you get slapped and run away, you’re just a piece of trash.”

    The villain, Andrew, who had been repeatedly slapped in the face and eventually fell backwards, blocked the swollen slap in the face with both arms and swept the ground with his butt. I saw the guy like that and immediately kicked him in the face with a soccer kick, breaking his face.

    “Sigh… Since it’s a request from the princess, I’ll let it slide to this extent.”

    “… Aren’t you dead?”

    “I’m not dead.”

    The princess, who looked back and forth between me and the guy who had hung up with a foamy mouth, shook her eyes as if she was anxious, but I know who this little bastard Baek is, and I also know how to deal with him.

    Originally, the protagonist Raoul was supposed to destroy her, but the princess and Coty’s story started to progress based on me, so I’m not an irresponsible idiot who would back down saying that this is what the protagonist should do.

    “So, don’t worry about me and just get treatment first.”

    “… Yes.”

    She completely forgot her self-concept and answered with her lips pursed and head bowed as if she had committed a crime.

    Tch. Because of that kid, our supposedly fun date at the amusement park was completely ruined.

    Looking at the crown of the princess’ head, which would have had its tail and ears hanging down if it were a puppy, I felt like beating that unconscious bastard some more, but I suppressed my feelings and moved both arms because I thought that if I beat him any more, I would ignore her request and end up killing him.

    “Huh?!”

    “Ugh. What kind of scream is that?”

    “Cow, can the girl walk?!”

    When I grabbed her knees and waist and lifted her into a princess hug, she looked at me with a flustered look and her pupils widened, but I thought it was cute to see her like that, so I pretended to adjust my posture and slightly moved to surprise her, and then spoke softly.

    “Someone said that it’s always the prince’s job to save the princess. I’m not a prince, I’m a commoner, but if you look at it, you’re a princess, so just hug me and go.”

    “… Yes.”

    “And, your speech has changed.”

    “… ? … !”

    As I spoke with a sly smile, her face turned red, and she lowered her head and grabbed my chest as if she had heard something incredibly embarrassing… She really looked like a small animal that made me madly want to protect her.

    ‘I’m screwed. I can’t suppress it even with self-hypnosis.’

    I guess I’m a bit of a douche. If she really likes me and has been flirting with me all this time, then I honestly don’t feel so bad about it. To be honest, I think it would be really great.

    But if this is just an illusion between the crown prince and me, and she replies, “No, I didn’t. I just thought you were close friends. What are you mistaken about?”, I’m sure I’ll go home and cry.

    If that really happens, I don’t think I’ll be able to go to the academy.

    Thinking about that, she came out of the corner of the amusement park where she had been locked up and spread her magic to check for any signs of life around her. Finally, the crown prince and his men were running towards her with great enthusiasm.

    And, ‘the person who told me about this place’ was also detected.

    ‘I’ll have to thank you later.’

    Judging from the silhouette of her magic sense, she must have noticed that I had sensed her, so she slowly backed away from my detection area, her fluffy tail raised high. I suppressed the laughter that threatened to burst out of my mouth and sat the princess down on an old chair nearby.

    “… I’m sorry.”

    “Oh, your tone changed again.”

    “That’s not the point…! The girl is apologizing…!!”

    “What is there to apologize for, Princess? Those guys who interrupted our date… They are the bad guys, and it is not right to blame the weak princess who was kidnapped.”

    “But! Because of the girl, Rudisap…?!”

    I gave her a sincere smile, telling her that she didn’t need to feel sorry, and covered her mouth lightly. With my other hand, I carefully wiped her dirty face with the handkerchief I had in my pocket.

    ‘You must have been in a lot of pain…’

    Looking closely, her bangs were a mess, so that bastard Andrew must have grabbed her hair too, and looking at her stomach, it didn’t just look like she had fallen over and gotten dirt on it; it looked like some bastard had kicked her in the stomach.

    While my reason, which said that I should have just killed them all, and my reason, which said that she would stop me if I went back and tried to kill them, were arguing for a moment, I cleaned her dirty face and lightly straightened her hair with the comb in her handbag.

    “… Why, are you so skilled?”

    “I had a little sister. When I first met her, she didn’t wash well, so I forced myself to wash her.”

    “Like a younger sister…? Have you ever seen a woman’s naked body?”

    “This is a story from when I was really young. When I was around 11, I was so embarrassed that I washed myself before I dragged her away.”

    “… It’s a close call.”

    “Don’t they usually say it’s safe there?”

    “Oh no. If you’re 11 years old, you’re out. That’s when girls become feminine!”

    Seeing her acting as if nothing had happened and not wanting to talk about the current situation, I smiled and continued the conversation, pretending not to know anything.

    But that atmosphere was short-lived. The crown prince, her older brother who cherished her, and his party appeared before us, covered in sweat and breathing heavily.

    “Gasp! Gasp…! Nose, Koti! Are you okay!!”

    “Orabeoni!”

    “I’m sorry! I didn’t know that among my escorts there would be guys who were touched by Andrew’s breath… !!”

    While the Crown Prince immediately hugged her and checked her condition as if he was really worried, I pointed to the inside of the warehouse and explained the situation to the guard who followed him.

    “There are seven people inside, including the mastermind. The mastermind is still alive, and the rest of them were beaten to death, but if you treat them now, they probably won’t die. “

    “… Go in and check, don’t let a single one die. Don’t let this be repaid with death.”

    “””Yes.”””

    The man who seemed to be the leader of the escorts heard my story and immediately sent all of his men into the warehouse, while he approached the princess and began using light-attribute healing magic.

    “How is it! I hope Coty’s health is okay?!”

    “You have minor injuries on your abdomen and forehead, but if you treat them now and rest today, you will be completely healed. Of course, there may be injuries that my magic did not find, so it would be better to get a thorough examination right away. “

    Your Highness, I will gladly accept any punishment for this disgrace.

    The captain of the guard, who had been talking like that, treated her as if he was really ashamed and distorted his face as if he was sick. Seeing that, the princess began to receive the treatment indifferently, showing no interest.

    “How did you get here first? And I clearly told you to wait.”

    “Shouldn’t the part where you say “Thank you for saving my little sister” come first?”

    “That’s right. Thank you so much for saving Coty. If you have any wishes, I will give you a reward at my discretion.”

    “Okay. What kind of award is this for a retard who can’t even keep his own date?”

    “I see, then I guess I’ll just buy you a meal later.”

    What is this?

    As I blinked at the crown prince who brushed it off as if it were just empty words, he started to talk about what he wanted to say as if he was not interested and was protesting to me by saying that I was the princess’s older brother.

    “Then let me ask you again. How did you get here first? And… “

    The crown prince, who was watching the betrayed escorts being dragged out half-dead, narrowed his eyes and looked at me again, saying:

    “Their swordsmanship level was 5, except for one. They were even capable of using the power. But how did they defeat them all by themselves?”

    “It’s a corporate secret.”

    “Then there’s nothing I can do.”

    No, what the heck? Why are you so cool?

    Of course, it goes without saying that I, a mere level 2 swordsman and level 2 martial arts expert, was able to defeat those guys with my cheat [Gabul].

    If I were to use black magic to increase my magical power, someone with high sensing abilities or someone else (especially Clark Theodore) might notice my presence, so I used [Taijutsu] to crush them.

    Of course, I had no intention of explaining that to the Crown Prince, so I had prepared a little less than 50 excuses.

    This guy just let it slide so coolly.

    “Orabeoni girl… “

    “Oh, Koti. Are you done with the treatment?”

    “Net. And more than that… “

    “Then, let’s go back with Oppa today. Rudis. I’ll explain what happened today properly later. First of all… I’m sorry. I tried my best to keep you and Koti from getting involved, but it ended up being the worst… “

    “Orabeoni!!”

    “?”

    The princess, who was shouting at the crown prince who was trying to end the situation by continuing to say what she wanted to say, slowly approached me and shook her head while moving her cherry-like lips roughly.

    “Today is the day the girl goes on a date with… Rudis. Since the situation was ruined because of the girl, the girl will explain everything.”

    “… Oh, really? Then, I’ll take your seat later… “

    “I’m going to do it today.”

    “What?”

    “Huh?”

    -Keep going.

    Unlike before, this time the princess, who was timid and weak, only grabbed my sleeve, continued to say what she wanted to say, not caring about the surprised looks on the crown prince and me.

    “Girl, I’ll tell Rudis everything. That’s the responsibility of the person who got involved.”

    “”… … “”

    The princess, who was looking anxiously at the crown prince and me, who were speechless at her words, and at me, who was more flustered than my brother, shook her crimson eyes and spoke softly.

    “Listen… What’s the plot?”

    “… Yes.”

    I was already entering the yellow zone.
