There was definitely something fishy about this … nobody said that.
It was difficult for everyone to immediately come to a conclusion about what the blonde curly-haired prince said.
"We should ask about that sword," Summer Night spoke up.
Seiji nodded as he showed the golden-hilted longsword that he had obtained from the restaurant owner.
"Do you recognize this sword?"
Adnan took a look at it.
"This is a sword from the armory … why is it in your possession?"
Seiji explained the situation to Adnan.
"I didn't do it. I wanted all of you to come here as soon as possible, not to stop you from coming here. It's impossible for someone to do such a thing. "Adnan furrowed his eyebrows." Someone stole this sword and used it to attack your companions.
I previously had a faint feeling that someone was spying on me, but I couldn't find out who it was, nor did I discover any signs of it. Now, I'm certain that it wasn't a misconception on my part. There really is someone hiding here!
Now, that feeling of being spied on has disappeared. I'm guessing that when this person went to attack your companions, he was counterattacked and was injured, which is why he left.
Of course, it's also possible that he's still here. We need to remain vigilant. " A sharp glint flashed in the blonde curly-haired prince's eyes. "It's highly likely that this person is the main culprit behind all of this! I wonder what his intentions are and what else he wants to do … "
"I swear in the name of Arlors that if this person who fooled me appears before me again, I shall do everything in my power to kill him!!"
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines when they heard the cold tone of his voice.
Then, Adnan suddenly seemed to notice something. He looked past everyone towards the black mist in front of him.
"They're here."
Seiji and the others followed his gaze and saw white skeletons!
They started walking out of the black mist one after another. Soon, there was a dense crowd of skeletons.
"The collapse is near, and Chaos has appeared … Come! Let's go to the palace! "Adnan indicated to everyone before he turned around and returned to the palace.
Editor Yoshizawa and the others followed him.
Everyone looked at Seiji Mukai. Seiji nodded and led the way.
A large group of skeletons chased after them!
The group quickly entered the palace. Then, with a wave of the blond curly-haired prince's hand, the heavy palace door automatically closed and locked.
"The closer the collapse is, the smaller the scope of order that can be maintained. I can still block them outside the palace for now, but soon I won't be able to." Adnan faced everyone. "As you can see, this is the situation … Please believe me! I need your help. "
Everyone looked at Seiji Mukai again.
Seiji sensed his companions' gazes and knew that he had to make a choice.
He believed that by agreeing to help, he would be risking his life to protect the other party.
If he refused to help, it would be no different from declaring war on the other party.
After some consideration, he slowly opened his mouth —
"Alright."
Seiji decided to believe him.
…
In the palace banquet hall.
This place was dazzling with gold and jade, extraordinarily luxurious, decorated with exquisite works of art. The carvings and paintings on the walls and dome were all worth looking at. It was a pity that he didn't have the time to appreciate them in detail.
Editor Yoshizawa, Head Editor Hattori, and all the other attendants were gathered here.
Seiji had Nomura, Adnan, and Linpu Kotaro place their hands on his body. Then, he grasped the golden longsword in his hand and focused on sensing the surroundings.
The rune on his right hand started glowing white. Then, the longsword started glowing as well. The glow gradually became stronger.
About ten seconds later, the longsword became so blinding that it seemed to transform into a beam of light. A faint mystical spell formation appeared around it.
"Open!"
Seiji shouted loudly and forcefully swung his sword, leaving a pure white mark in the air!
This mark gradually expanded and formed a large white hole in the void.
The blond curly-haired prince instructed everyone to enter the hole and return to reality.
Then, he erected a few walls, surrounding and sealing the big hole.
After he left, these walls would disappear. At that time, Seiji and the others would be able to return to reality.
Before that, they had to protect His Royal Highness.
The first layer of protection was for Nomura, Miyabi, Yuuko, Maishi, and Yoshida.
According to Adnan, they were the auxiliary creators of the World of Illusions. They were capable of using the power of order to resist chaos.
After the collapse began, Adnan would hand over the remaining power of order to Nomura and the others so that they could maintain the banquet hall.
As for the chaos creatures that forcefully entered the banquet hall, the second layer of protection — Seiji, Summer Night, Little Shi, Hitaka, Rona, and Matsutani — would be responsible for dealing with the chaos creatures that forcefully entered the banquet hall.
If everything went smoothly, nobody would be injured. But if things didn't go smoothly …
In the final moments before the collapse, Adnan did his best to teach Nomura and the others how to use the power of order.
Seiji, Summer Night, and the others silently watched from the side.
"Do you really believe that he's someone from another world?" Summer Night asked in a soft voice.
"I believe that to be the case, although I don't have any concrete evidence," Seiji replied. "What about you?"
"I find it hard to believe, but it doesn't seem like he's lying …"
"It's hard to accept, right?"
"That's right." Summer Night nodded slightly.
Seiji chuckled.
"Someone from another world? This is indeed inconceivable. It's normal to find it hard to accept."
"Personally, I'm more likely to accept it since I'm an otaku. I've already seen so many different worlds and whatnot! "Seiji flashed a sparkling expression.
Summer Night was rendered speechless.
"If he really is someone from another world, then the spell that summoned him here … is quite scary," she sighed.
Summoning someone from another world? Such a spell would mean that the summoner had transmigrated to another world!
Transmigrating to another world was an incredibly cliche in light novels and anime. But, it was similar to resurrecting the dead. Anyone who seriously thought about it would realize just how serious it was.
"Indeed, there's a scary side to it," Seiji agreed.
"But, let's not think about the bad side and think about the good side. This spell …" Seiji paused for a moment. "I think it's quite romantic."
"Romantic?"
"Yeah. Being able to meet someone from another world by chance is quite romantic, isn't it?"
Summer Night tilted her head slightly as something flashed in her eyes.
"For example, if I … used this spell to summon the main character or heroine from Brother Monogatari, I'd think it would be wonderful to meet and talk to them," Seiji told her.
Then, he looked towards his adopted younger sister. "What do you think, Little Shi?"
"I think it would be wonderful as well." Shika Kagura nodded.
Seiji smiled.
Actually, that wasn't what he really wanted to say. However, his true feelings were a little too much. 'I'm someone from another world, and I think it's quite romantic that I've transmigrated to another world to meet all of you.'
Summer Night blinked upon hearing this.
"If I don't think about the bad side … indeed …"
"If I could summon someone from another world, I'd summon an elven beauty who would fall in love with me at first sight!" a serious voice spoke up.
It was Matsutani.
"I don't think that any elven beauty would fall in love with you at first sight, Senpai," Seiji retorted.
"Shut up! That's my romance. " The pudgy middle-aged man waved his hand. "Even if it's not an elven beauty, a beauty from another species would be fine as long as she falls in love with me at first sight."
"I think that it'll be quite difficult to achieve such a special ability … By the way, if it's only love at first sight, wouldn't it be fine if it wasn't a beauty from another world?" Seiji didn't shut up and retorted yet again.
"There's no beauty in this cruel world that would fall in love with me at first sight. I've long since seen through this." The pudgy middle-aged man looked off into the distance.
Seiji fell silent for a moment.
"I apologize … Senpai." He sincerely apologized.
