In a Different World with a Smartphone Chapter 343: Test Results, and some Family Planning.

For the conclusion: that boy isnt the biological child of this couple-desu no.

[Alchemy Building]s Flora told me the test results concisely. As usual, her twin bulges were threatening to break loose from her nurse uniform. Poison for my eyes.

As if seeing through my thoughts, she took out a small container with a strand of hair inside it from her chest pocket. Thats the hair left by the late Lowe king which Colonel passed over to me afterwards. Well, its actually a strand of hair with its hair roots still attached which was used for golem registration, so its a bit different from hair left by the deceased.

On the other hand, it matched with this hair from the late king-desu no. Theres no mistake that the two of them are father and son-desu no.

Ah ah

When I heard her report, I looked up at the sky. The white ceiling of the [Alchemy Building] is so bright

So, the imperial prince of Garudio Empire is actually not the son of the emperor and empress, but the prince of the Lowe Kingdom which was destroyed by that very empire in the past.

What do I do with this

I cant begin to imagine how this turn of events had occurred. The most important question here would be whether the Garudio emperor and empress knew of this.

At least the empress must know, right? Since its a child she had given birth to. Wait, no she didnt give birth to him Or did she?

So does that mean the emperor is the only one who doesnt know Is it? Thats kinda sad too I dont know if its fortunate or not, but the Garudio emperor and the prince actually look similar to each other. Their hair colors were the same, and although the emperor had blue eyes, the empress had the same brown eyes as the prince. Anyone who looked at the three would conclude theyre a family. They have good relationships as well.

If they knew that that boy isnt actually their child

What do I do This is way too complicated a story. Ugh, its too heavy for me!

So, I want to listen to everyones opinions on this but

At night, I gathered everyone in my room and explained the circumstances. Suu, whos staying here today as well, was sitting on top of my legs as I sat cross-legged while wearing yellow pajamas.

On top of the uselessly large bed that ten people can sleep on easily (I use a different one when I sleep alone), everyone was sitting as they like while wearing matching pajamas of different colors.

Everyone would sleep together on this bed only when Suu stays over. That sort of unspoken rule was set in place somehow before I realized it. Of course, I didnt lay my hands on anyone Im a coward after all. Lets leave that aside for the moment.

Umumu. Isnt the key here whether the Garudio emperor knows that that boy is his actual child or not-gozaran ka?

I think he doesnt know. They looked to be really close, too.

When Yae, whos sitting cross-legged with her hair down and wearing a pair of lavender- colored pajamas, said that, Hilda, whos next to her and wearing a pair of orange-colored pajamas, replied.

Im not too sure of the details, but the point should be how the prince of Lowe Kingdom ended up as the imperial prince of Garudio Empire, shouldnt it. If we knew that part, everything should become clear.

Luu, whos wearing bright green-colored pajamas, pondered while holding her cheeks with both hands. Yeah, thats right isnt it Just how did the prince of the fallen kingdom, who escaped with the help of his wet-nurse, become the imperial prince of a different country; knowing the details surrounding that would become the critical piece we need to solve all the mysteries.

Besides that, should we honestly tell the results to Colonel-san and the others?

Linze, wearing sky blue pajamas, turned to look at me. Yeah, Im not sure about that either

For now, I plan on telling them. Theres the part of their concern for the princes safety too. Since hes living a fulfilled life in the imperial palace, I guess they can be relieved for the moment?

Its a complicated talk for the people of Lowe, isnt it? For their own prince to become the imperial prince of one of the countries that destroyed their own. If I was them, I wouldnt know whether to be happy or be sad at that, to be honest.

While lying on the bed, Elze, wearing red pajamas, said that as she munched on some small snacks in a wooden plate. Dont eat stuff on the bed, oi.

In this case, the one most likely to know the truth would be the empress, wouldnt it. Should we just ask her directly?

No, well, you know. Theres the possibility the child had been swapped somewhere without her knowing, right? The empress mightve been raising a child she thought was her own but actually was not in that case.

Its true that thats a possibility.

To my words, Leen whos wearing black pajamas nodded with a *fumu*. Next to her, Kohakus group of five divine beasts were sleeping together with Pola. I wonder about it every time, but why does a stuffed toy need to sleep

King-sama, darkness magic. Fine if you use hypnosis on her.

Hypnosis magic? Oh right, I couldve done that!

Upon hearing the statement of Sakura whos lying down on the bed with sakura-colored pajamas, I snapped my fingers. With hypnosis, I can find out whether the other side knows about this without worry.

I just need to put them under hypnosis, then ask Is the imperial prince your actual son? If they answered in the affirmative, they dont know the truth; if they answered in the negative, then they know the truth.

However, Touya-san. Is there really a need for us to go that far? It may be a heartless view, but what they requested of Touya-san was until the end confirming the princes safety and current location, and nothing else. If we tell the three of them the truth, whatever happen afterwards would no longer be our concern, no?

Yumina, wearing white pajamas, spoke up while hesitating somewhat. I know. If we mess up one step, it could mean destroying a happy family. Thus, itd be best for us to leave it untouched.

Still, what about Colonel and the others? I dont think theyll fully accept it if we do not tell them everything. I think those three will be fine, but on the off chance some other former retainers of Lowe knew of this, they might do something stupid.

I dont think therell be any people who would believe someone that randomly popped up and started clamoring that the imperial prince of Garudio is actually the prince of Lowe. However, what if that rumor makes its way into the ears of the prince? He probably wouldnt believe it either, but it would still leave its small mark on his heart. He might be hurt by the negative words of the heartless retainers. It may damage his relationship with his parents as well I dont want that to happen.

I want Colonel and the others to learn the truth properly, and accept it.

Suu, who had been listening to our conversation, leaned her head back on my chest.

Quite the difficult talk-ja no.

Thats right, huh. Was it boring for you?

I understood that Touya is as nosy as ever.

Thats harsh. But well, its the truth, so I cant say anything back.

Still, thats exactly our Touya-ja. And if that Touya is troubled, its our job to lend our strengths-ja. Dont hold back, ok? Im already glad just by being together like this, after all.

Suu took my hands and brought them before herself. Our pose had become something like me hugging Suu from behind. Wait, Suu-san? Its a bit embarrassing

Suu. Bad to monopolize King-sama.

Oo?

Sakura who stood up lightly carried Suu off my lap while holding her by her armpits. After that, she sat down on my lap directly facing me (Im still sitting cross-legged), and hugged me tightly. Wait a, Sakura-san! This is even more embarrassing!

Aah! Sakura-san, thats not fair! Me too!

Uoh?

This time, Luu peeled Sakura off and clung onto me the same way. Uh, girls!? Calm down for a bit!

Guess well have to join the fray as well, Hilda-dono.

Yes. Let us advance, Yae-san.

O-onee-chan, us too.

Eh!? Ah, right! Yeah, lets go!

Wai-, hold on!

A game of tag had begun out of nowhere with everyone else chasing after me around the room. Making so much noise this late at night, if this was a multi-storied building wed be causing quite a lot of inconvenience

In the end, I was caught by a tackle from Elze using [Boost], pushed down onto the bed before everyone else piled up on top of me. Its heavy! Is not something I will say. No matter what. Thats a death flag.

Also, various things are being pressed up against various places! If this continues, itll be bad in various ways, so its time to escape! [Teleport]!

Fuguh!? H, heavy-degozaru!

Heavy!

Yae and Sakura who were directly above me became the bottom layer and let out voices of anguish. Ah, sorry.

Alright alright, dont make so much fuss just because you girls are excited about staying over. You all will become the queens of this country in the future, so itd be good to learn some modesty, you know?

While clapping her hands lightly with a *pan*, Leen admonished everyone. Im saved. Gotta leave it to the oldest one here. Even though shes the next youngest to Suu going by appearances.

After calming down thanks to Leen, everyone started talking about recent happenings. Since its basically girls talk, I dont speak up on most of the topics, but when theres something Im interested in I make sure to join the conversation. I want to know things about everyone properly after all.

That reminds me, hows your training going, Elze? Youve been receiving guidance from Takeru ojii after that, right?

Yeah. Shishou is amazing, you know! A while ago, we went to the foot of the Merishia mountains, and he smashed a huge rock around the size of a Frame Gear with one hit. We

were taught [Toukihou] there as well.

[Toukihou]?

Err, instill magic power within a part of your body and change its attributes depending on the situation I think? The [Hakkei] used by the dragon clans Sonia-san also seemed to be a form of that. If you master it, you can let loose blocks of [Ki] like fireball magic, apparently. Shishou used that to strike down a flying wyvern.

What is that Martial God-sama doing I just hope he doesnt get too heated up and blow away a mountain or something.

For Elze who usually devotes herself to training from morning to night every day, tomorrow has been allotted as a rare break day. According to her shishou, a warrior needs rest too, or something like that.

Is Ende alright?

Ah Well, hes alright. I think. Hes better at me in terms of manipulating [Ki] anyway. He was being forced to have practice matches against Shishou every day and was beaten up every time, but he would get all better after going to [Alchemy Building] and having Flora hit him up with a quick injection.

Thats not alright, you know.

Linze who was listening beside us had a forced smile on her face. Im a bit scared to ask what kind of injection hes getting, but it should be fine. I think.

But the both of us are definitely getting stronger. If I keep training a bit longer, I think I can defeat an intermediate-class with my own body in one hit. (Note: ah, Elze is steadily developing into a bugged character too. How bright her growth is)

Just the other day the [Red Cats] group had to use three Frame Gears to defeat one, you know.

Well, Ende was defeating an intermediate-class with his own body when we first met him, so. Elze also has the trump card known as [Boost], and she should get even stronger if her dependant link with me is strengthened.

That reminds me, is Ende now something like a dependant of Takeru ojii?

As I was thinking about stuff like that, Suu came to me again and hugged me from behind. Suus a little bit fond of skinship, isnt she. Its still fine now, but once she starts growing various things will become problematic

Oh yeah, is your mother healthy, Suu? It should be soon right?

Umu. I wonder if she wont be giving birth soon-no. I would prefer it if I get a little brother, but a little sister would be fine too. As long as mother gives birth safely-no ja.

For the Ortlinde ducal house, they would probably want a boy as successor. Since the boy would be in the same age group as Prince Yamato, they should become good companions. The child would become Yuminas cousin, and a brother- or sister-in-law to me I think?

Children-degozaru ka Us too, one day

To Yaes spontaneous muttering, everyone besides Suu went a little red and started fidgeting while letting their eyes
