Sent to Another World! - Chapter 27
I was still staying in the castle.
Because of Dean and Louise’s wishes, I remained in the capital for a while. For some reason, the castle was unusually noisy today.
When I inquired about the commotion, I learned that soldiers from the Kingdom of Roland had crossed the border and were likely headed toward Raad.
“Dean, I’m heading to Raad right away.”
“Yoshinobu, it’s dangerous for you to go alone. We’re dispatching the knight order now, so please stay calm.”
“No, I can contribute even if I go alone. Please let me go! Sarina is in that town too.”
Seeing me flustered, Dean asked.
“Does Yoshinobu have the power to fight against an army?”
“Yeah, I should be able to handle a small army.”
“I have no choice then. Feel free to go.”
“Big brother!”
Louise criticized his brother, but…
“Louise, there are things that a man must do. Yoshinobu has a determined look in his eyes. Sending him off is also the duty of a noble’s wife.”
“Yoshinobu, is it really okay?”
“Yeah, it will be fine. If things get tough, I can always fly away.”
“If that’s the case, I’m coming too. It’s my duty to ensure your safety.”
“Wait, wait, Louise, this is getting dangerous.”
“Yoshinobu, it is really okay, right? If yes, then you can protect me, too. It is my fault if something really happens. Big brother, is that okay?”
“I know she won’t listen even if I try to stop her. Yoshinobu, please take care of my sister.”
“But…”
“Yoshinobu, there is no time, right? Let’s go quickly.”
Louise was right, it was better to arrive sooner.
“Alright, but… because it is dangerous, promise me you’ll listen to what I say.”
“I understand.”
I took Louise and flew towards the town of Raad. This time, I summoned an attack helicopter, the AH-64D.
While I was en route to Raad, an envoy from the Kingdom of Roland arrived at the residence of Lord Chyse in Raad.
“Is it not impolite to suddenly arrive with troops?”
“It may seem that way, but we harbor no hostility towards your nation. What we seek is the extradition of our criminal, Yoshinobu, that was in your country.”
“A criminal?”
“Yes, he broke through the gates of the royal capital and fled. He’s a dangerous individual. We’ve brought troops to apprehend him.”
“What if I refuse?”
“We’ve been ordered to capture him, no matter the cost.”
“Are you suggesting an invasion?”
“Oh no, Count Chyse. I believe you will make a wise decision. Let’s wait until tomorrow morning. If there is no response by sunrise…”
The envoy conveyed their message and left.
Chyse was left alone in the place and turned to his subordinates.
“Can we defend ourselves?”
“… It will be difficult. This town isn’t suitable for defense, and they likely have around three thousand soldiers. With our five hundred soldiers…”
“Then should we hand him over?”
“That might be the only option. After all, if he’s a criminal, there’s no reason to protect him.”
“Hmm, there’s no other choice? Do you know where he is?”
Chyse didn’t remember Yoshinobu, but he recalled the incident with Horn.
“Isn’t he the one who defeated Horn?”
“That person, huh. Anna hid herself after that incident… Alright, send a messenger to Lucas. Inform him to demand Yoshinobu’s extradition.”
“Wait! Capturing Lucas’s guest will have far-reaching consequences for the town’s future. Moreover, yielding to threats from another country will be a lasting shame for our city. Please reconsider!”
“What are you saying? Are you suggesting that sacrificing the citizens is acceptable?”
“Lord Chyse, let’s just hand over Yoshinobu.”
“Lord Chyse, please reconsider!”
The opinions of Chyse’s retainers were divided into two, and a decision could not be reached as morning approached.
