Jikuu Mahou chapter 407: Gossip

Laila. Sorry for this so late at night

Se, Seiji. What happened? Didnt you return?

No, I wasnt supposed to let those 10 girls stay in my house, but they fell asleep, so I have no place to sleep now

Th, Therefore, you come to me?

Well, thats about it

Se, Seiji will go to bed late at night. With me to, together!? My first time is finally Seiji

Laila started to murmur something. Its so late, did she fall asleep and is sleep talking?

Laila, who is sleeping while standing, lets let her be.

I moved to the large room where the residents were evacuated in.

Im sorry, can I use this place?

Ah, yes

I took a small place inside the room and decided to sleep there.

However, although it is a fairly large room, I am a displaced man. I can hear other peoples speech.

Laila-sama is a very kind person. Opening her house, for us

More than that, a magic wall is wrapped around the house. Theres no rain or wind coming in

Residents are talking about Laila. It seems that the approval rating from residents is quite high.

Well, I was the one who put the barrier on, though.

If Laila-sama becomes the queen, will this country be more livable?

Laila becoming queen ~. King, the people are thinking of replacing you.

Laila-sama is great, but Princess Elena is also great

Oh, theyre also talking about Elena.

Princess Elena seems to be healing the wounded people everywhere

Ah, what kindness

Princess Elena has a perfect status and is very likely to be the next queen

Queen Elena. She is going to be a gentle queen

Thats good! Shall I quietly kill the king who is useless so as not to be noticed by Elena, and then put Elena on the throne.

What! I wont do that. I have wanted to lie for some reason, and its not on April 1st. Why??

Besides, it seems that the adventurer of Princess Elena is also amazing

Hmm? Maybe something about me? Even though I acted as stealthy as possible. Im troubled.

She uses fire magic, though she is younger than Elena-sama

What? Its about Hilda. Well, Hilda has been working hard recently. It cant be ruled out that it is a rumor.

Speaking of which, Ive only seen them occasionally, but there is also a black hair

Oh, is this about me now? Im troubled.

Oh yes, a woman with dark hair and an unseen dagger

Eh? Now its about Aya!

Only women are active

Speaking of being active, a man

This time is it me?

Rondo-sama

Yes, only Rondo-sama

It seems so

Stop making noises. I decided to sleep.

Doson!

Midnight. A loud noise rang, and my eyes opened.

Wh, Whats wrong!

I heard something awful!

The evacuated people are also waking up and are beginning to make a fuss.

Doson!

Ah, Again!

Whats going on?

The sound I dont understand well is repeating again and again. What exactly is happening?

Sounds and vibrations seem to be coming from quite far. However, it is neither lightning nor an earthquake, so I really dont know what it is.

A soldier broke through the evacuated people and was approaching me.

Seiji-dono, Laila-sama needs you

Did Lailas men come to call me?

I moved to Lailas room in a hurry.

Laila, Im coming in

What? When I entered the room Laila was crouching in the middle of the room.

Laila what are you doing?

When I call out again.

Se, Seiji!

Laila finally noticed that I was here and rushed to hug me.

Hey, Laila, what happened?

Seiji! No more! Im scared! I want to return home

Hmmm, it seems like she is acting like a child out of fear.

Hey, Laila. Calm down

However, Laila is swaying while hugging me.

I cant help it, but this late at night I need to call Elena

The moment I stumbled so much. The shaking of Laila stopped.

Why, Elena-sama?

Hmm? Because, here, there is a [Twin Magic Stone String Telephone] for the communication relay with each town. If Laila cant move, they wont be able to communicate with each other. Its just Elena that can replace you, right?

Iya!

I dont even know what she dislikes.

Ill keep in touch!

I see, Laila is great

I guess she hasnt been able to get rid of her childish behavior. Even so, it is great that she tries to complete her work. I stroke Lailas head.

Then, I will go to check the true nature of that sound

Se, Seiji! Are you going?

Yes. Im just looking at it. Well, you dont need to worry, Ill come back as soon as I see it

I took off the arm of Laila who is holding me to start the action.

Se, Seiji. Dont go

There is nothing to worry about. Indeed, Laila is afraid.
