I Got a Cheat Ability in a Different World, and Became Extraordinary Even in the Real World (LN)

Book 4: Chapter 2

Another chapter today thanks to the Patreon, enjoy~We returned to the castle after finishing our request to collect medicinal herbs, but something about the situation had changed a bit from earlier, and we felt a different rush than before we left the castle.

What happened?

No idea

As both Luna and I tilted our heads, not quite sure what had happened, one of the soldiers who noticed us rushed over, and whispered in Owen-sans ear. Then Owen-san frowned for a moment, let out a sigh, and turned to Lexia-san.

Lexia-sama. Apparently, weve found out the whereabouts of His Highness.

I see.

Lexia-sans expression darkened as they apparently found out the location of the prince who had escaped. Owen-san, who was looking at Lexia-san with concern, turns his gaze to me.

Um Yuuya-dono

Yes?

If you dont mind, I would appreciate it if you could help us.

Eh?

Although its disappointing, we were not immediately aware of it when they attacked His Majesty, and furthermore, the assassins items exposed us to a situation where we couldnt use our magic. Moreover, the assassins were all skilled professionals. Thats why, in securing His Highnesss custody, if an unforeseen situation arose, we might not be able to deal with it ourselves. I want to avoid at all costs letting His Highness escape as a result. That is why I am asking you. Would you be willing to help us?

D-dont be so formal like that! I dont mind helping if I can!

Thank you very much.

Owen-san said and bowed deeply to me.

Then the soldiers led us to the place where the said prince was hiding. At that time, Lexia-san had decided to stay at the castle in case something happened. Of course, Lexia-sans bodyguard, Luna, is also staying with her.

The place the soldiers brought us to was not inside the castle, but a small house on the outskirts of the royal capital.

This place is

When I was surprised at the unexpected place, the soldier who was showing us around told us.

We were unaware of it, but it seems to be the pavilion that His Majesty had prepared for His Highness.

Eh?

In fact, His Highness seems to have been isolated, and weve never heard of this place before His Majesty said that there would be no other place for His Highness than this place, and after looking into it, it seems to have been the right one.

Uhm first of all, the prince was isolated? Thats surprising but more than that, is that okay for me to know such information?

Normally, it wouldnt be allowed, but this time, things are different. And its something that we have to inform as well

I see

Since its called isolated, there are only a few people around, and its quiet. Probably no one lives in the area. Or rather, why is he isolated? Hes a prince, right?

When I walked in with my doubts, I saw that other soldiers had already entered and surrounded one man. The man was dressed in very high-quality clothing even from my ignorant perspective, and what was most distinctive was the mask he wore on his face.

I think the man in front of me in the situation is the prince but Im surprised by his unexpected appearance.

Your Highness, its over. Please surrender peacefully.

Shut up, shut up, shut uuuuup! Who the fuck do you think I am?

Your Highness

Stay the hell away from me!

Huh!

The soldiers were gradually surrounding the prince and cornering him, but they couldnt seem to get close enough because the prince was wielding a knife in his hand.

If you get any closer, I will kill myself right here!

Thats

Who cares what happens to me anyway? Who cares if I end up dead at this point?

I was surprised that such words came out of the mouth of a prince.

Eh, hes a prince, right? So why did he say no one would be sad to see him die? At least, Lexia-san and the others were looking sad When I looked around unintentionally, everyone, including Owen-san, had a complicated expression on their faces for some reason. Why?

The prince then scoffed, as if he knew such a reaction from his surroundings.

See, you cant say anything, can you? You think it would be better for a nuisance like me to be gone! Then Ill die here, as you wish!

Your Highness!

At that moment, the prince tried to swing the knife down at his neck. Hey is he seriously trying to die?

Night! Bite that mans arm and stop him from moving!

Woof!

Receiving my words, Night fleshed out the prince with lightning speed and bit down on the princes knife-wielding arm directly.

Hyii!

Nights jump & bites momentum not only deviated the trajectory of his arm, but the prince dropped his knife from the pain.

Now!

Owen-san didnt miss the opportunity and immediately flew instructions to the other soldiers, and the soldiers all went to restrain the prince at once. The prince hurriedly tried to grab his knife, but was hindered by Night and was stopped in his tracks by a soldier who was originally near him and restrained him on the spot.

Then, Night, who has finished his job, comes back with his chest stretched out proudly.

Woof.

Thank you, Night! Thanks for your help!

Woof~.

Fugofugo~.

I stroked Night many times, and for some reason, Akatsuki stroked Night with his hooves while acting like a big guy. Hey, you didnt do anything, so why are you so high and mighty? Well, I havent done anything either.

But Night doesnt seem particularly bothered by it and seems happy to be petted by Akatsuki and me. Yeah, hes cute.

L-let me go! Who the fuck do you think I am?

Your Highness, just give up.

Its Your Majestys orders.

We had forgotten that the prince was in custody, and there was only a relaxed air between us, but Owen-san approached us with a bitter smile.

Yuuya-dono.

Eh? A-ah! Excuse me! It was

No, thats all right. Youre very close to each other.

Yes because theyre my precious family.

Woof.

Fugo.

Night and Akatsuki also nodded in agreement with my words. Owen-san also nodded at us, smiling gently, but his expression quickly changed to serious.

Thanks to Yuuya-dono and the others, we were able to detain Your Highness successfully. Thank you.

N-no! Im glad we were able to be of help, too!

Thank you. Now, Your Highness.

That was the moment Owen-san was about to say something.

Grr!? Woof!

Night interrupted Owen-sans words with a panicked look and barked.

And then.

Wha-!?

Guaaaah!

Ugh!

Suddenly, something flew through the window of this hideout. It instantly collided between the prince and the soldiers, and a tremendous impact spread around them. The soldiers were slammed into the wall by the impact.

O-oh! Youre finally here!

For some reason, the prince smiled happily as me, Owen-san, and the others hurriedly positioned ourselves for the sudden and mysterious attack. Then, a person broke in through the broken window.

Checking the situation done. You, failure.

Wha-!?

The one who broke in through the window was a girl with white skin and white hair. And it was a slightly inhuman-looking girl with mysterious gray eyes. I was surprised at the intrusion itself, but what surprised me even more was the girls appearance.

She was a beautiful girl, so beautiful that it was as if she was a work of art.

What the are you!

Owen-san drew his sword and held it up to the girl, but the girl didnt even look at him; she just looked at the prince.

A failure. Therefore, I dont need you anymore.

W-what? You cant just leave me here! This originally happened because you guys from the dark guild were weak!

Negative. Simply, your lack of planning. And bad luck. Thats all.

W-what? I have promised you a higher position by making me the new king!

The prince is indignant at the girls words, but the girl does not change her attitude.

Wrong. Its a lie to make you move. The real plan. Making you the king of this country, and using you as a puppet. And to wage war on many fronts, killing many people in the process.

Wha wh!

The result is a failure. And youre now unnecessary. You are not a sufficient pawn for me. You are now decommissioned.

The prince looked for words to return to the girl, but apparently, nothing came out; he just opened and closed his mouth.

Or rather, listening to their current conversation, is the girl in front of me related to the dark guild? I thought I heard something else that sounded like a lot of stuff was it my imagination? I cant hear very well from here

Theres also the fact that the girls identity is unknown, but the most alarming factor is that Night was unable to notice the girls presence until just before. When it comes to Nights ability to detect a presence, he completely surpasses me, so when it comes to escaping that

It cant be helped. Temporary return. Goodbye.

Wha-!? You dont think you can just leave this place

Reserve. Thats enough.

Then, after the girls words, an arrow flew at Owen-san, who was about to chase her. Moreover, the arrows rained down so as not to allow the girl to be chased, so I and Night and Akatsuki couldnt bypass them either.

Didnt you run out of arrows!

Silly question. All sorts of situations are expected. This time, return. Goodbye.

As a result, the girl put her foot on the first window she entered and ran out of the house. After preventing the arrow, we immediately followed after her, but the girl was already gone, and even Night couldnt follow any more signs of her.

Kuh we let her get away

Who is that girl?

I dont know but that strength its not normal. Besides, based on her conversation with His Highness, Im sure shes related to the dark guild, but I didnt expect her to be that powerful. This needs to change my perception of the dark guild. Shit. This is another way to get rid of the dark guild. Because with such a powerful person, we cant bypass them.

Its true, with an existence like that, we have to act cautiously. Rather, this time, the opponent is out of arrows? The reason seems to be because of that, but that was a statement that was made after completely skipping out on it. In the first place, she didnt even have a bow in her hand. Maybe, but if that girl had come with a bow and arrow in her hand, it wouldnt have happened like this. Thank God for her fancy in a way.

I thought Master Usagi was powerful too, but shes pretty much the same. This is like Master Usagi said, if you dont train, you wont be able to protect what you want to protect.

I thought of her, the attacker, this time, and I was reminded again that I needed to become strong.

Well, lets go back for now.

Thus, we secured the princes custody as planned after the mysterious girls attack and returned to the castle.
