Chapter 113.2
Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem
Chapter 113.2. Summer Vacation Is The Season For Adventure!
[This mess is just what we need to expand our power. Right, how about some financial aid for the poor lamb aristocracy thatâs on the street?]
[No. The Marquis of Teijo is Takano Miuâs guardian. If he loses power here, it will be troublesome. Mashiron wasnât exactly in charge, was he?]
[Yes, heâs been appointed as a vice-admiral as a foil. Even so, Teijo Ouga organized the warriors to be sent to Tokyo. It seems that he sent his own protégéâs elite. The warriors have suffered a lot.]
[Resignation of responsibility and losing the elite of the progeny⦠Troubling, huh.]
Mii-chan is going to be in trouble. It wonât be the downfall, but my power must be greatly decreased.
[Missing means attacked? Was the culprit a druid?â]
[Hmmm â¦â¦ Thatâs a fine line. Tokyo is dangerous. The culprits are monsters and druids, and there seems to be a hired force of illegal slavers who have come to capture the druids. Well, the hired slavers wonât mess with the warriors, so itâs probably monsters or druids.]
[The deeper you go into Tokyo, the more powerful monsters appear. â¦â¦ And the terrain effects are more severe in some places.]
The culprit was unknown. But I think he was attacked by a human, as in revenge. Oh well.
[Thanks, Frigg-oneesan. Iâll head to Tokyo, so get ready, okay?]
[I canât. Because I want to move things around during the current chaos, okay?]
There is confusion, even if only for a short period. Sheâs the spy goddess who sees that opening as an opportunity to move.
[Iâll ask Grandpa for reinforcements. Well, then, take care of them.]
[All right, young lady.]
With a nod, Frigg-oneesanâs hologram disappeared, and she soon arrived at the office. A thud and a heavy-looking wooden door are in front of me. Ah, Iâm tired. Itâs too big, this mansion.
âFather! Iâm heading to Tokyo now!â
âIâm going too! Iâll explain to the Magic Tower that itâs really importantâ
âThen Tamamo will go too! We have to protect Yamiyo-chan~â
And then, the desperate voices of the girls were heard through the door.
See~ I knew I skipped the event. I wonder if they remember Mii-chan.
I sneakily open the door and peek at the intimidating, warrior-like Ouga, Yamiyo, and the girls confronting each other. The story is over, and we have moved on to the next scene.
Now, the first half of the story is over, and the second part has begun.
âFather is on his way, isnât he?â
âNo, I cannot leave the Imperial City now. I have to settle this mess. I plan to send reinforcements to people I trust.â
He was worried about Mashiro and wanted to head there, but his position would not allow it. Ouga replies, his face like a rock turning bitter.
âThen please include me in those reinforcements. Iâm already 10 years old. Iâve already finished my first year of school.â
âNo, you must not! Tokyo is dangerous. There are many especially poisonous and nasty monsters. The druid magicians are also extremely dangerous.â
âThat is why. I will still be as good as the warriors in this.â
âIâll ask papa for some additional anti-poison warding magical equipment. Lend me a powerful one~.â
Yamiyo is confident. She can beat the instructor with ease, and her confidence is justified. Tamamo is the daughter of a famous magic tool user, so she can prepare many magic tools to prevent abnormalities.
Both are huffing and puffing, and theyâre arguing with Ouga.
âThe story of Tokyo that was destroyed has been the subject of research at the Magic Tower, and the thesis has been mentioned several times. I can help you, too, since I remember all the different kinds of monsters!â
Ninny is full of confidence. She believes that her experience on the desk will be useful in practice.
As if by some expediency, the girls are ready to go to Tokyo.
Thatâs all the talent they have. Ouga nods and reluctantly agrees.
âNo! We canât take the girls to the warriors weâre officially dispatching! Itâs too much of a mixture of public and private matters! Besides, reinforcements are already on their way. They will find us soon enough.â
Ouga says to the three of them in a sharp, angry voice that makes them straighten their posture involuntarily.
They didnât agree. Right, this is how it is in reality. Well, you donât take civilians to the military. The only people you can take are newcomers or genetically engineered children.
âThen there are a lot of injured people! Please formally ask the Takano family for assistance! Iâm heading to Tokyo!â
Itâs the recovery magicianâs turn. I declare as I open the door with a bang and get everyoneâs attention.
Boom.
This door is heavy. Itâs a little heavy. I canât open it with a bang. 10 years old girl canât open this door with a bang. Is there a strong spring in this door? I can only open it with a thin slit.
So, I changed my strategy.
Mii-chan opened the door narrowly and made a small peek into her face. I havenât decided yet.
âMuuâ¦â¦â¦â
âThis is my statement as the head of the Takano family. I will also present this to the Emperor. Iâm sorry, but this is an opportunity for the Takano family to expand its position.â
Nice idea. Mii-chan tells him with a serious expression, peeking out from behind the door. Mii-chan is an ace pitcher. So she can step into the ruthless world of politics.
Itâs a nice idea, Yamiyo says, and her eyes light up as I insist Iâll go with her.
ââ¦â¦ Miu-kun, youâre smart. I understand. If itâs officially approved. Iâll have to ask you to do it. No, perhaps this story will pass. I hear that many of the expeditionary team are wounded. Miu-kun, I look forward to working with you.â
Ouga bows his head, thinking that even the Emperor would not be able to ignore the request if the head of the family herself presented it.
Itâs only natural since it would be a great achievement if I could help the royal family, the heirs of the Teijo family, and the expeditionary force. Itâs not easy being an emperor.
Itâs Mii-chanâs big Tokyo adventure. Donât worry. Iâll convince my parents.
And so, it became a hurried performance, and I decided to head to Tokyo.
It was two days after I received the report. In the meantime, there was no word that Mashiro had been found.
Mashiron, I beg you, please be alive.
