Unedited. Sorry

A few days later, I finally succeeded in catching Ordias-san at the magic lab.

Every time I went to the lab to deliver bentos, I’ve asked Cory-san and Luna-san to tell Ordias-sama I’ve asked for him. Ordias-sama finally decided to show his face.

“So what’s the matter?” (Ordias)
As expected, Ordias-sama, who was forcefully called, is in a bad mood.

“I’d like to speak to you for a moment.” (Haruka)
“Well… “ (Haruka)
I scratch my head with an awkward smile.

If you look closely, Ordias-sama is slightly off because he is slightly tanned since he usually has a pale face. I feel a bit tired. I realized that this topic is something that is really pushing me so I tighten my expression.

“Can you arrange a meeting with Hamuti-sama?” (Haruka)
I ask Ordias-san in a straightforward manner.

As expected, Ordias-san’s facial expression distorted at once. That’s right, nobody would be happy if another person cause them troubles when they’re already busy. I’m very aware that I’m being disliked.

“Of course, it’s not right now. I don’t mind if it’s in a week or two.” (Haruka)
I added in a hurry when I saw the deep wrinkles in Ordias-san’s brows.

“Why do you want a meeting?” (Ordias)
“Eh?” (Haruka)
It was an unexpected question so I looked back to Ordias-san’s face.

“Why do you want to meet Hamuti-sama?” (Ordias)
“I want him to tell me the progress of the search for the summoner.” (Haruka)
“There shouldn’t be any significant progress. If there’s any movement, there’ll be news.” (Ordias)
While answering, I became anxious as I sensed Ordias-san’s strong rejection.

Why are you reluctant in me meeting Hamuti-sama?

 

What’s the reason why you don’t want me to see you?

After all, Hamuti-sama lying would be inconvenient for me.

For a while, there was a subtle air between us.

Just as I interpret Ordias-san’s intentions, Ordias-san must have seen my doubts. We couldn’t find the next word to say.

“I’m not going to say anything. You have to stay calm.” (Ordias)
Ordias-sama broke the silence.

It seems like we should continue the current direction without touching upon the topic. If I just nod and withdraw, I will continue to come to this place. As if nothing had happened, I will return to the days of going back and forth between the diner and the royal palace.

It doesn’t cause any problems, but…

“Ordias-san, I’m not convinced.” (Haruka)

I dared to speak out.

“Isn’t there something wrong because Prime Minister Hamuti-sama can’t find the culprit after all this time? If you really can’t find it, then there’s a problem with the royal system because a criminal used the forbidden summoning technique. It summons a person from a different world. If the person who did such a big thing isn’t identified, then anyone can just summon people from different worlds.” (Haruka)

“Harutia.” (Ordias)
“I would like Hamuti-sama to explain it. I… I think Hamuti-sama really knows the culprit.” (Haruka)
“Harutia, shut your mouth.” (Ordias)
Ordias-sama ordered in a strong tone.

I unintentionally closed my mouth as told. It’s unusual for Ordias-san to speak in such a clear commanding tone when he’s not in class.

“I’m telling you, I’m not informed about the circumstances of the investigation. I don’t know if your concern is irrelevant or not.” (Ordias)
Ordias-san relaxes against the chair.

“In any case, you better not stick your neck into it. There’s nothing you can do, don’t bite Hamuti-sama in vain.” (Ordias)
When I heard those words, Ordias-san stopped my momentum of standing up from the sofa.

“But I’m afraid I can’t go home anymore if I don’t do anything. Certainly, I can’t solve anything but, I have to raise my voice.” (Haruka) 


It’s so frustrating.

I know that I’m trying to make my move without any plan. I’m still worried so I can’t help it.

Ordias-san looks over at me with interest so I could only nod at him.

“Aren’t you good at being swept around by principle?”
When I was a Priestess, I was cynical because I was at the mercy of the people around me.


“I dropped that cute act around a year ago when I return back to my original world.” (Haruka)

“... I see.” (Haruka)
He sighs. He’s being really rude.

“Alright.” (Ordias)
“Eh?” (Haruka)
Ordias-san gave me a quick response while I try to think up a rebuttal.

“I’ll make an appointment with Hamuti-sama to see me. I don’t know what the outcome will be like. You have better take responsibility for the rest.” (Ordias)
“Yes, I understand.” (Haruka)
“Certainly-- nothing will change if it stays this way.” (Ordias)
The last word was whispered like a monologue.

“I will contact you at a later time. Be quiet until then.” (Ordias)
