A Broken Story
* * *
“Broadcasting accident”?
I tilted my head at Extra-sama’s words, as I walked towards the fort’s gate.
BYUUWUUUN!!
At that mont, a particularly strong gust of wind blew, as if pushing forward.
That wind… hit the gate, rattling the large, rusty, tal doors.
And before those large doors… the phantom princess is waiting.
Waiting for to take a few more steps closer.
Ah, I see.
I think I understand.
It must have been a typical story.
That princess… was kidnapped and imprisoned by a bad guy.
And the protagonist ca to rescue her.
But… he lost.
So that’s why she wants ‘help’.
From soone who can replace the protagonist?
『Welco, brave one.』
And here—
The phantom princess, standing in front of the gate, began to speak.
Perhaps I’ve gotten close enough to the gate, eting the distance condition.
『My na is Kawayuikko Hi Yoiyattsu. The first princess of the great Yoiyattsu Kingdom. I am currently speaking to you through my special ability, 【ssage】, and cannot converse. Please understand.』
The princess calmly sends a ssage to .
Her face is still blank, as before.
Or rather, her mouth isn’t moving, even though I can hear her voice.
Perhaps her special ability, 【ssage】, isn’t very good at detailed video output.
『Now then, I’m suddenly bringing this up, but I have been turned into a doll by the special ability of the evil general of the Superbad Empire, Tekigataa, and am imprisoned in this fort.』
Tekigataa?
Doll?
Isn’t he a pervert!?
『Please defeat Tekigataa and save . I’ll give you any reward you desire. Please, please… I’m counting on you.』
And with that, the princess’s illusion vanished.
BYUUWUUUN!!
Another strong gust of wind blows.
Dust swirls violently.
The wind, hitting the gate, blew back towards , and I involuntarily narrowed my eyes and ‘turned around’ to avoid the dust.
『Huh? You’re going back after coming this far?』
『What a coward.』
『As expected of a weakling—even lower than a worm.』
And then, triggered by that action, several illusions of the princess appeared around !
“Who’s going back!! Who’s a weakling!? RAAAAAHーーー!!!”
I fired 【Infinite Pebbles】 in all directions, driven by anger!
Several of the pebbles hit the gate doors… and blew them away with a loud, crashing sound!
Gah… Gooo… GOOON!!
The blown away doors bounced off the inside of the fort’s outer wall… a training ground-like outdoor space… several tis, before… stopping.
“…Fuu…”
I took a deep breath.
Calming myself down.
…Now then, Extra-sama.
I have a question.
That princess just now… she said, ‘Defeat Tekigataa’, right?
But the princess’s story… is from five hundred years ago, isn’t it?
Shouldn’t that evil nesis or whatever be dead already?
And then Extra-sama sighed, as if she was truly exasperated.
In other words, sothing out of the ordinary is happening in this fort?
…Ah, I have a very bad feeling about this.
『Oooohーーー!? What!? The gate’s brokenーーー!?』
And then, it was at that mont—
From inside the fort, we heard a commotion… and the sound of several… suits of armor clanking!
“Eh!?”
I peeked inside the gate, drawn by that voice… and I was so surprised that I was speechless!
Because what was there…
Wasn’t a living human being wearing armor… but—
Two moving skeletons… wearing jet-black armor!
『Oh!? Ooooh!? Look, it’s a girl! It looks like a girl has co to play with usーーー!?』
『Idiot, she’s just a kid! But it doesn’t matter! It’s our first ‘challenger’ in decades!? Gyahahahaha!!』
And then, the skeletons, finding , looked incredibly happy… and laughed vulgarly—geta-geta!
