Chapter 26 – Havamar’s True Identity

I asked Havamar about his true identity, but there was no response.

“In the first place, who is Havamar? Or rather, Alfred, why does it feel like you two know each other?”

“I, I’m sorry, Young Master. There’s a reason for this that’s deeper than the ocean.”

“A deeper reason?”

“Yes, but now is not the time to talk about it… Please forgive me.”

Even when I asked again, Alfred remained silent. Wait a minute, I haven’t asked the crucial part yet. Darn it, if I leave it like this, nothing will be solved.

“Hey, Havamar! Show yourself already!”

“……”

“You’re probably watching me anyway. Listen, Havamar! The owner of this uninhabited island is now me. So, from now on, you’ll have to follow my instructions.”

Anyway, I just wanted to know Havamar’s true identity. What does he look like and what is his personality like? If we could live together on this uninhabited island, I will ask him to do so.

“It can’t be helped.”

“… Eh?”

I was seriously surprised. Before my eyes, a silver-haired girl was standing there as if she had appeared out of nowhere. For some reason, she has cat ears and odd-colored eyes, one blue and one red. She was a delicate, ridiculously beautiful girl dressed in a miniskirt maid outfit.

“Are you ‘Havamar’?”

“Yes. I am Havamar. Your sister-in-law.”

“I see. I didn’t think you’d be such a beautiful girl– Huh!?”

Wait a minute.

Just now, this girl said something outrageous!

“What, did I not tell you the truth?”

“Havamar is my sister-in-law?”

“That’s right. The name ‘Havamal’ is a divine name that has been passed down from generation to generation. I have another real name. And you are the descendant of such a hidden clan.”

“Such nonsense!”

“Alfred already told you, there’s a reason deeper than the ocean. I can’t tell you right now, but I’ve shown myself to you. That should be enough, I’m going back.”

Don’t mess around. I can’t let her leave! I won’t allow her to return to being just a spectator. Whether she’s my sister-in-law or whatever, I need her to cooperate with me. It’s so that I can know my true identity and understand the state of the world. Besides, my instincts were telling me that I can’t just let her off easy.

“Ugh! Let go of me…”

“Let you go? Giving me power on a whim and talking about various things on your own… and then leaving. Is there such an irresponsible story? Havamar, from now on, you will be working with me to develop this uninhabited island.”

“…W-why?”

“Because I am the owner of this island.”

“Haah… Jeez. But you’re right. This uninhabited island is Rasty’s property and territory. This was decided from the moment you were given the ‘Uninhabited Island Development Skill’. Therefore, Ra     sty is the king and absolute… I shall obey.”

Havamar, who claimed to be my sister-in-law, obediently bowed her head and showed respect. It looks like we will be working together in the future. No, we are companions now.

“I’ll have you tell me more details, Havamar.”

“I understand. I’ll gradually tell you. Is that okay with Alfred too?”

Alfred, who had been watching silently, responded with a “Yes” and agreed. This should be a big step forward in regard to my situation. But for today, this is enough. I can say that I was able to obtain a considerable amount of information.

Now comes the important part.

“Havamar, tell me. The Empire and neighboring countries are looking for me, right?”

“That’s right.”

“In that case, what is the possibility that this uninhabited island will be discovered and attacked?”

“It’s fifty-fifty. There is no sign that this island has been discovered so far. However, the Empire has the strongest knight order. Alfred knows that well, as he was a member.”

Alfred nodded deeply in agreement.

“That’s right. The ‘Leopold Knight Order’ of the Dvorak Empire is the elite of the elite. Their level of skill is the highest in the world. Each and every one of them is of the Holy Knight class, and there are some who have even destroyed a country alone.”

Oh, I know that person.

I don’t remember his name, but he’s said to be an outrageous swordsman. He’s feared by many warriors because he’s too strong.

With that in mind, we need to increase our defense facilities… If they attack, we’ll be destroyed in an instant. For that reason, I will make a “house” today.
