Going Back and Forth Between Earth and The Other World with Space Time Magic

Seiji-sama, I have to talk to my otousama about this. Oh well, lets go?

We went to the audience hall usingTeleportation.

Y-, You are!Ah, Elena!How wonderful, youve come back safely. Hurry, come over here!

In the audience hall, other than the King and the magician who summoned me, there was only a small number of soldiers.

I didnt come back. Elena, what do you mean?

I went to theScab villagewith the Hero. What did you say!?

TheScab villagewas ruled by the goblin army led by the goblin prince. The people who were abducted were forced to work. Forced to work?What do you mean?

The people were threatened by the goblins and were forced to makeMagic stone of Human transformation. Magic stone of human transformation?What is it?

Look here, this is theMagic stone of Human transformation.

I showed theMagic stone of Human transformationto the King, the King ordered the magician to usedAppraisalon it.

Its certainly aMagic stone of Human transformation. ItsA magic stone that can transform the appearance of the user to Human.. What did you say!?

We also found out that the orcs have snuck into theSlumsofShinju townusing thisMagic stone of Human transformation. Speaking ofShinju townsSlums

Thats right. As for the merchant from the slums who reported that theScab villagehad been attacked by the demon lords army, I think it was a goblin or an orc disguised as a human usingMagic stone of Human transformation. Thats ridiculous.

Otousama, youve been deceived by the goblins and orcs!Please stop this war immediately.

Otousama! No, its different. What do you mean by its different?

The start of the war against the demon lords army wasnt because of theScab village. Huh!?Then, what exactly was the cause?

In addition to that, a demon snuck into this castle and tried to abduct you, Elena. N!?I havent heard such a story. I thought it would scare you so we remained silent.

B-, But, was it really a demon? Oh, Im sure. The demon snuck in but as soon as it was discovered, it ran away. There were 3 maids and a gardener who saw its appearance.

King, just a moment. What is it, Hero.

Youre still calling me Hero? Oh well.

The maids and the gardener, can you call them here? I-, I understand. Oi, somebody go and call them.

After a while, one of the soldiers brought the 3 maids and the male gardener But. This gardener smells like something.

All of you, tell us about the time when you saw the demon. Yes.

One of the maids began to answer.

There was a report that someone invaded the castle so we went to confirm the princess safety. When we arrived in front of the princess room,somethingsuddenly appeared, it was many times larger than a Human. When we screamed, it ran away. Thats all.

What? The gardener began to answer next.

When, I went to, check, the garden. There was, demon. Demon, escaped.

The witnesses testimonies are over and its my turn to interrogate.

First, let me ask the maids. The one you had seen, was it really a demon? Etowe werent sure because it was dark. Do the 3 of you have the same answer? Yes. But, its certainly not a human.

Then, the next question is for the gardener. You, what is your objective? dont understand, the question.

Well then, Ill say it again clearly. An orc sneaking into a human castle, what is your objective? !? What are you talking about, Hero!? How should I put it, it smells like a rotten fish!

The gardener who had its smell pointed out suddenly ran away.

Electric shock! Gyaa!

The gardener was paralyzed by the electric shock and collapsed on the ground. For the time being, it seems that its still breathing. I approached the gardener and searched its body. I found acertain thing. When I took away thecertain thingfrom the gardener *Buwatsu!* The gardeners body grew blurry and its appearance suddenly turned into a black orc.

An orc!?H-, Hero, what is the meaning of this!? Isnt it like what Elena said? Its theMagic stone of Human transformation. C-, Could it be

That something not human that the maids had seen, was it this fellow? I-, I dont knowprobably.

King, what are you going to do?The demons have been falsely accused. Otousama, since you now know that it wasnt a demons work, please stop the war immediately.

The King fell silent. Well, if you suddenly learned such a thing, its only natural to be confused.

Otousama!Please, do it quickly! ElenaIts already too late, the war can no longer be stopped Why!?

Mobilizing this kind of large-scale army, the demon lords army wont stay silent too. That

The audience hall was wrapped in a heavy atmosphere.

Well then, shall we stop the war? S-, Seiji-sama! S-, Stupid, its impossible to do such a thing! Such a thing, you wont know if you dont try.

I-, I understand. But, leave Elena behind! Otousama! King, do you know?~Elena is strong, she even defeated the goblin prince, you know? W-, what

Look here. Yes.

Butits possible that Elena is their target. We wont know what will happen if she get dragged into the war. Target?What do you mean?

The demonNo, when this orc invaded, it was aiming for Elenas room. Its purpose was probably to abduct Elena. Youre the one to talk, even though you trapped Elena in prison.

Thats different. Whats different about that?

Thatsthe safest place in this castle, is that prison. N!?

There were several layers of locks and also, a large amount of soldiers were deployed to guard it. But, you, Hero, managed to abduct Elena from there.

Well, locks didnt have any effect againstTeleportation.

Since then, we conducted a large-scale search. Though we finally found a trace, we tried to take her back using an underhanded method. But it was easily seen through, after that, we could no longer find any trace.

Well, there were times when we had to return to Japan and because we were usingTeleportation, it wasnt easy to be discovered.

As it is, if we mobilize a large-scale troops to take her back, there would be a possibility of being discovered by the enemy. More importantly, its definitely safer under the Heros protection than inside the castle. After my discussion with Lyle Gewalt, I decided to let the Hero protect Elena as is. I see, so that was why there was no one who came after us.

Still, otousama, Ill go and stop the war with the Hero. This is myObligationwho was born as a Royalty. E-, Elena

Well, with such a reason, please give it up. I-, I understand. But Hero, you must protect Elena at all cost. Oh, I know.

This fellow is seriously caring for Elena. But he is hopeless as a King

Now then, let me do some things before we go and stop the war. What do you need to do, oniichan? First, its this fellow!

I approached the unconscious black orc, ripped its clothes open and shoved theMagic stone of Human transformationinto the breast pocket. Its appearance returned to that of the gardener. And then, I tied its hands behind its back and forcefully wake it up by splashing water over its face using water magic. Because it seemed it couldnt speak words while in orc form.

Oi!Wake up! *Bumotsu*

Orcy-sama, tell us everything! What are the goblins and orcs up to? Uguat, failureinformation, speak, no good.

If you dont talk, Ill make your eyes horrible. Failure, death*gutsu!**gugetsu!!*

The gardener suddenly started to groan and instantly ceased to breathe. Its appearance also reverted back to being a black orc.

I-, Its no use. Its already dead. Why did it become suddenly like this!? It might be under a curse.

We werent able to get any information and left a bad taste in our mouths.
