Chapter 320

In a Different World with a Smartphone Chapter 320: Primula Kingdom, and the Transferrer .

Scary Flying is scary

Unuuuu

Elka the golem engineer was squatting down on the floor while murmuring something, while Fenrir was lying down besides her without moving an inch .

Was it that scary? Its just something like riding in a high-speed aircraft made completely out of glass high above the clouds Maybe it was a bit scary? (Note: I see you havnt completely thrown away your humanity yet, Touya . )

And just when I thought were making good speed by making it to Primula Kingdom within 5 minutes, theyve been staying in that state for the past 10 without moving .

Get on with it and guide me to the castle already . Hasnt the battle already started?

Ha! Thats right . Ive gotta hurry!

Dr . Elka returned to her senses while pushing up her glasses that were falling off .

Were currently in a side alley a stones throw away from the Primula Kingdom capital, Primulet . If we start walking from here, we can reach the capital immediately .

(Note: Ive been wondering, but did Fuyuhara sensei give up on naming the cities in the Reverse World Well, cant blame him . )

When we arrived at the capital gates, for some reason, after Dr . Elka showed some kind of card to the sentries posted there, they immediately prepared a six-wheeled golem carriage for us . Apparently her statement that she was acquainted with them wasnt a lie .

We got onto the golem carriage and headed straight for the royal castle while being guided by knights belonging to Primula .

I looked out at the streets we were passing by, and as expected when theres a war happening, the people all had shadows on their faces .

When we arrived at the castle, which is bigger than the castle in Brunhild, a bearded man with a broad physique wearing expensive clothes came running towards us . The sight of him running with all his might despite his plump body shape is slightly comical .

Elka-dono!

Oh, Grand Chamberlain Evry . (Note: Ah, my nemesis . New names . )

Its been a long time .

The man being referred to as Grand Chamberlain Evry, who I estimate to be around his fifties, stopped adjusting his breath in front of us and exchanged handshakes with Elka and her companion Fenrir . Handshake it is, but to be honest all I can see is Fenrir offering his paw to the man

Thank you so much for coming . His Majesty would be happy as well . With this, the Primrage can fight with all its power .

Primrage?

A golem for the exclusive use of the royal family of Primula . Its a Legacy, see . Ive been doing maintenance on it once every few years .

Evry-san turned his eyes towards me who had interjected without much thought .

And, may I inquire as to who this person is?

A helper . If things work out well, he may be able to stop the assault of the God-Empires armies .

Wha-wha-wha-what did you say!?

Grand Chamberlain Evry solidified in a pose that would flatter any kabuki actor with his eyes wide open . This persons every movement is comical, isnt he

Can you arrange a meeting with His Majesty as soon as possible? If possible, at a private location . It might turn into a complicated story, after all .

I understand . Please wait a moment!

Grand Chamberlain Evry ran away after hitting his own chest with his fist and then coughing . That person really reminds me of that, the Humpty Dumpty from Mother Goose .

Touya-kun, do you know why I believed in your talk from earlier?

? Isnt it because I showed you guys Reginleiv The Frame Gear earlier? And also, was it the [Black Crown]? Wasnt it because you knew its abilities?

I tilted my head at Dr . Elka who suddenly said that .

Those are true, certainly . But theres one more reason: the existence of this country . This country holds the oldest history among all countries that exist in this world currently, you see . Its one of the new countries that sprouted after the devastation caused by the Ancient World War 5200 years ago, and the only one that had survived to this day .

The Ancient World War It was a war that was started by two ancient kingdoms which dragged in other countries eventually, wasnt it . If I remember correctly, it was said that the entire world was once destroyed due to the fierce fighting in which various golems were deployed .

Losing its civilization and the advanced golem-making technologies that it once had, the world was revitalized slowly by the survivors together with the few golems that remained active Or something like that?

If its 5200 years ago, that means it happened before the Surface World was destroyed by the huge Phrase invasion, huh .

Theres a legend in this country, you see . 5000 years ago, in the world that had been destroyed, a man appeared in this land which was being fought over by various tribes at that time . That man spoke the language of an unknown country, and wielded magic which was never before seen in this world . That man was welcomed in by one tribe, and steadily conquered the other tribes in the region . That was the first king of this kingdom . Apparently, he left the following words to the people he was close with before passing away: I am someone who came from a different world Or so .

Wha!

Wait, the first king of this country was from another world!? Thats

The name of this country, Primula, was the name of that tribe in the story . The kings name is different . The surname of the royal family of this country is Palerius . The name of the first king was Relios Palerius .

Did you say Palerius!?

Alerias Palerius . The Sage of Time living in the ancient Paruteno Kingdom 5000 years ago . A user of spacetime magic, and the one who made the barriers present on Palerius Island .

What is going on? The dimensional gate he was making at that time and left on Palerius Island was incomplete No, it was mostly complete, wasnt it . There was only the problem of the massive magic power required to activate it, and nothing else bars that from connecting to the Reverse World .

Or perhaps, when the [Black Crown] appeared and then left the Surface World back then, had it brought someone with it back to the Reverse World?

You have some ideas as to that name, dont you?

I know the name Palerius . Hes a spacetime magic user who lived in our world 5000 years ago . His name was Alerias though . Theres also an island over in our world named the Palerius Island, and the descendants of Alerias as well as his disciples are currently living there .

Its likely that the ancestor of this Palerius royal family is a son, or perhaps a grandson of Alerius .

If thats so, that would make them distant relatives to Mentor Central of Palerius Island, I suppose .

This It might be better to bring someone whos lived through that period here .

Eh? What do you mean?

Sorry, but do you mind waiting here for a bit? Ill be right back .

I left Dr . Elka, whos tilting her glasses with an incredulous look, and moved back to Babylon in the Surface World with [Dimensional Transfer] .

Upon transferring myself to the [Hangar], the familiar sight of the mini-robos bustling around, carrying tools and materials and performing other tasks, entered my eyes . I can see the figure of Monica whos doing maintenance on the shoulder of Elzes [Gerhilde] standing in one of the opened garages .

Sorry, Monica, but can you tell me where the professor is?

Nn? Ahh, if its the professor you want, shes over there .

The professor was there at the place Monica was pointing to with her spanner . Sleeping on the floor with a slovenly face Really

Her appearance is that of a child, so this could be a heartwarming scene if one looks at it normally, but

Munya munya Uhihi, you have some cute pantsu there, ojou-chan Just taking them off for a bit wont hurt Yes, raise your legs like that Uhihyohyo (Note: you know, Im kinda glad to see some classic Regina after a while, lmao)

Theres not a single speck of dust in this scene thats heartwarming!

Oi, wake up a little . Its an emergency .

Nn?

I shook the shoulders of the professor whos still smiling slovenly and half-dreaming to try to get her to wake up, after which she looked at me with unfocused eyes and slowly stretched her hands out towards me .

Nn-

Mugu!?

All of a sudden, she held my head with some kind of hold and overlapped our lips . Before I could peel her off, she held my torso with both of her legs in a body position that was clinging to my upper body, making it hard for me to move .

During that, her small tongue invaded my mouth and began freely rampaging within . What is this fearsome tongue technique Scary!

Nn-, stop it already!

Fugya!?

I forcefully broke her hold on me, and threw her onto the beddings on the floor . That was dangerous In lots of ways

Are? Where are my cute girls?

You were half-asleep?

The professor scratched her head while sitting up and looking around . Ill not comment on the fact that her partner in the dream had been a girl

(Note: apparently, Touya didnt notice that the professor had used plural phrasing . Well, its best for a protagonist to stay innocent, I guess?)

For now, I told her concisely whats going on, and together with the professor, returned to Primula Kingdom in the Reverse World with another [Dimensional Transfer] .

Ive kept you waiting .

Nowaaaaa!?

Elka and Fenrir werent too surprised by me to had suddenly appeared in front of them, but Grand Chamberlain Evry, who had been there as well, bent backwards with an over-the-top reaction .

Its ok . This person is capable of using transfer magic .

W-was that so . My apologies .

Even while still breathing a bit roughly, the Grand Chamberlain managed to regain his former appearance . This man should work as a reaction artist or something

And, is that child someone from the other world as well?

Yea . Professor Regina Babylon . Shes the one who had developed the Frame Gears .

This child!?

This time its Dr . Elka who looked at Professor Babylon with shocked eyes . Well, its to be expected . She has the outward appearance of a young girl wearing an oversized white coat, after all .

Ive casted [Translation] on the professor before, so conversation shouldnt be a problem . Ill introduce them to each other for now .

Professor, this here is the engineer Elka and her guard golem, Fenrir . If its regarding golem technology shes apparently one of the best in this entire world .

Hohou . That sounds promising . Im Regina Babylon, nice to meet you . Id like the chance for us to have a deep talk after this .

Elka . Im the one who wants to have that talk, see . Id love to hear all about the technologies of an ancient magic civilization .

The two of them exchanged handshakes while having similarly suspicious smiles on their faces . Wait Have I perhaps set up the meeting of two person who should never meet each other? The warning label Do not mix that is often seen on detergents and similar things floated up in my head .

In, in any case everyone is gathered now . Please come this way, the King is waiting for you .

Grand Chamberlain Evry, who still looks to be a bit shaken, guided us into the castle .

While walking along the corridors of the castle, I tried asking Professor Babylon about the first king of this country, Relios Palerius .

Relios Ah, he was the second son of Elder Palerius, I believe . He was studying the art of magic engineering like his brother and serving as an assistant to his father . I heard that he had died young

Not only did he not die, but he had flown to another world, and become a king there .

Its a weird story, but since Im also in a similar situation, I started to feel some weird sense of familiarity to him .

In front of the door at the end of the corridor were walking on, two strong-looking knights can be seen .

Grand Chamberlain Evry opened the door for us and let us into the room . Of course, we were checked to see if we were holding anything similar to a weapon, but my Brunhild was stored in [Storage] beforehand so there was no problem .

The inside of the room was furnished in a simple and yet elegant, regal and yet sturdy-looking way that also showcased a strong feeling of history .

A man who was sitting on a chair behind the table in the back of the room stood up and came towards us .

He looks to be around his forties, and while solidly built, doesnt have a very big body shape . One of those lean-types, so to speak .

With his short brown hair, magnificent moustache and beard, and his face, he falls considerably in the range of a cool older man . And on top of his brown hair is a simple-looking golden crown .

This person, then, must be His Majesty the Primula King . A descendant of the Sage of Time Alerias Palerius in other words .

Its been a long time, Dr . Elka . Im glad you came .

Its been a long time, Your Majesty .

The two talked to each other in an intimate tone and exchanged handshakes . Instead of a King, Id say he was interacting with her as a friend on equal terms .

His Majesty the Primula Kings line of sight then shifted from Dr . Elka to me .

And is this the one who you said could stop the advance of the God-Empires army?

Yes . He might also be able to decipher the stone tablet left by the first king . Hes apparently someone whos from the other side that Your Majesty once told me about .

Wha!

The Primula King swallowed his saliva upon hearing the words of Dr . Elka . The eyes looking at me changed in their intensity, and before long he slowly opened his mouth .

{htmzt/ioiuo kzttt/aeoui hkrtymn/iaioaii sstm/oieu srhnnk/oeaaia?} (Note: lifted right from the raws . )

Wha?

For an instant, the Kings eyes narrowed at me who could not understand what he was talking about at all . However, in the next moment the same kind of words came out from beside me .

{srhmh/oeaao u . } Was that the language left by the descendants of Elder Palerius? Its regrettable, but the number of people who can still speak that Ancient Magic Language in our world is basically nonexistent, you know?

The professor smiled lightly while speaking to the king . Ah, so it was the Ancient Magic Language, huh? Its not like I cant speak that language if I use translation magic though .

It was the right call bringing the professor along, huh .

I see . Ancient Magic Language, was it? It was only known as ancient language while being passed down our royal family . If we cant learn it, we cannot take over the throne, you see .

Heh . Perhaps the first king had always believed that his father, Elder Palerius would manage to complete the dimensional gate and bring everyone on Palerius Island to this world .

Even if the generations pass, someday I guess he cant help it for thinking that way .

Probably, like the people we met on Palerius Island, he had also thought that his world beyond the islands barrier was destroyed by the Phrase .

The Primula King, who was his descendant, walked before me and presented his hand . He seems like quite the frank person, this king .

I welcome you all . The King of Primula, Rudios Primula Palerius .

Brunhild Dukedom Sovereign, Mochizuki Touya . And this is Professor Regina Babylon .

I shook the outstretched hand of His Majesty the Primula King . I cant tell if the color of surprise that filled his expression was due to my title as a king, or the name of the professor, or perhaps both .
