"I'm going to be honest, I wasn't expect any of this when I start my adventure."
I smiled in amusement as we continue to walk, idly enjoying what nature has provide us. Ever since the revelation, it seems that all of us feel more comfortable to talk with each other, like a huge weight lift off our shoulders.
"Yes, I expect fightning wild monsters, capturing bandits, and even explore an unknown land, not meeting an otherworlder." I rubs the fur on my head sheepishly.
"May I ask....more about the otherworlders?" I asked curiously.
"Oh, trust me, you don't want to meet them." I was taken aback from Liza's deadpan reply. "Dad once meet one from his visit to Supreme Kingdom a year ago, and ever since that day, Supreme Kingdom is a sensitive topic. None of us willing to say that name out loud in front of him."
"T-that bad!?" I asked in disbelief.
"He's willing to prepare armies just to wage war on the kingdom, completely out of character for his majesty." Eric stated but I can hear a tired sigh from under his breath.
I get Isekai'd people will get arrogant from getting to fulfill their power fantasy self-insert shits, especially when they get cheat powers, but I wasn't expecting someone to describe them to be that bad.
I guess my expectations were very high for only reading isekai light novels with overly compassionate main character. Then again, light novels tends to be overly unrealistic, believing that because it's a fantasy story, all common senses were tossed out of the windows.
"That....is bad..." It's the only thing I could say. Deep down, I could feel nothing but shame from the rest of otherworlders. My current question is, what did those idiots do to made king wanting to declare war without hesitation!?
"It's very bad. Dad is a very docile person, so hearing him wanting to declare war on a kingdom because of someone is so out of character." Liza mutters.
"I am glad that we meet you instead. If it was someone like the one his majesty met, I don't know what I might've done..." Eric mutters as he held the hilt of his sword tightly.
"Let's.....talk about something....else..." I said while sweatdropping. "How....are we going....to attack the kingdom?....even if they're arrogant....they're not....stupid enough to....leave them defenseless."
".....we're hoping you could've help us making one." Eric admits sheepishly as my jaw drops. Seriously!? I look at Liza who simply looks away.
"...why me...?" I ask as my eyes twitch.
"Well.....you are familiar with this world...." Eric mutters. "And we have no idea how the kingdom is."
"Neither....do I." I admit, causing an awkward silence around us.
"Well.....how about this? I use my spell 'Information' on a wide scale area on the kingdom?" Liza propose.
"Won't....that took.....majority of your...
mana?" I ask as Liza nods.
"Yes, and thankfully I was manage to gather some mana recovery medicines when we're in Holy Town." We all groan the moment we mention the name of the town. "My bad...."
"Indeed, milady." Eric said while nodding sagely as Liza pouts.
"Oh, shut it, Eric." Liza said as I chuckles a little. "Not you too, Darren."
"Sorry...sorry..." I said in amused tone as Liza smiles. "...did you guys.....ever know how strong.....is the otherworlder.....in 'there'?"
".....father said he has more mana than average humans, even rivals the royal family." Liza said with a frown. "He also said that he's a swordsman, using a longsword but he uses it like an axe. Don't ask me why, dad says that's how he sees it."
".....so, he's....a sucky swordsman....got it." I said in deadpan manner as they both look at me before snorts.
"A-anyways, father said that he also capable of using earth magic. Which is weird since earth magic and longsword didn't go well at all." Liza said as more and more sweatdrops appears at the back of my forehead as she keeps talking.
".....so, he's bad?" I asked.
"Dad says he.....is powerful.....but have no skills...." Liza mutters.
".....and he acts...arrogant?" I asked in disbelief.
"Dad hears him says 'I have the greatest earth magic in this world!'. Not sure if it's true or not." I pinch the bridge of my nose while sighing.
"...so, we deal....with cocky person.....who possibly has....powerful earth magic....and has no....skills...." I sums up as they nods. ".....I'm knocking him out....before he could cast shit...."
".....what's shit?" Liza asks as I froze before looking at Liza, cold sweats start to pour out of my body like rains. I forgot one thing, this world knows nothing abour curse words and I just casually uses it in front of them. To make it worse, I did it to one of the most innocent girl ever existed.
"...'shit' is.....a curse word.....used in my world....usually adults....use it when....hearing bad news....or bad things just happens...don't ever use it." I said before ending it with a warning.
".....why?" Liza asked.
"Please....don't ask....and don't use it...." I begs. "In fact....forget that I ever....say it."
"But why?" Liza, I like you as a character, hut this moment made me slowly hate you.
"Liza....please?" I beg as Liza narrows her eyes while looking at me. More sweats pour out of me as I shift my eyes around nervously.
".....fine, but only because you're my friend." Liza said before looking away as I let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, I felt a hand touching my shoulder as a shiver ran through my spine. I turn around and pale when I saw Eric stares right at my soul, dark aura emits from his back.
"Darren....I would appreciate that next time, don't use a curse word in front of milady, understood?" I nod in fear as Eric lets go of his hand and walks past me. I sigh as my ears drop and I felt my tail touches my leg. I continue to follow them.
That was a very close call....
