Chapter 7
Princess Elena is
Imprisoned and crying
How the hell did this happen!?
What the hell happened? There wasnt anything wrong a while ago, but then I looked away for a little and this happened!
I put on my denim jacket and jean for a little protection then rushed to the foyer to put on my sneakers. Prepared, I immediately used Teleportation.
Sob sob
Hello, Princess.
!?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Princess Elena curled in the corner of the prison room crying. Hearing my voice, she turned around in disbelief. Her eyes were overflowing with tears that ran down her cheers.
H-Hero!
Its Seiji, remember?
Ah, yes! Seiji-sama! Didnt you go home?
I did go home, but I came back because I felt you were in trouble.
Seiji-sama!
Princess Elena suddenly ran up and hugged me.
I wanted to hug Elena back, but that wouldnt be a good idea so I held back.
Elena, how did this happen?
It O-Otou-sama
Elena tried her best to tell me, however she couldnt put together her words past her tears.
I clutched my right hand and held it out in front of Elena. I then opened my palm while retrieving aHandkerchief from Inventory.
This is the best I can do right now. I told myself and give the handkerchief to Elena. By the way, its not like Im trying to do a magic trick here.
Th-thank you very much.
Wiping her tears with my handkerchief, Elena finally calmed down and smiled at me.
Have you calmed down yet?
Yes, thank you Seiji-sama.
Then could you tell me what happened?
Yes. I went around and asked various people around the castle about theDemon Lord but I was not able to learn anything new. When I gave up and returned to my room, Otou-sama came with many soldiers.
So it was the king.
I told Otou-sama that the matter of the destroyed village might not have been the work of the Demon Army. But then Otou-sama suddenly got angry, telling the soldiers to imprison me.
Is that why you are being imprisoned?
Yes.
What a guy! This is supposed to be his daughter!
Then Otou-sama said, until the war with the Demon Army is over, I wont let you leave here.
Thats awful
I dont know what I should do anymore.
I know, let me kid-nap you!
Have Seiji-sama kidnap me?
Yep, rescuing the captive princess is the a heros duty!
But Otou-sama
Dont worry, dont worry. Oh, right! Ill leave behind a crime de-cla-ra-tion saying I kidnapped the Princess.
I pull out a notepad and a ball-point pen from my Inventory. As I tried to write the crime declaration, I stopped my hand.
Now that I think of it, I dont know the characters of this country.
PIKON!
A light bulb lit up above my head again!
Come to think of it, I have Language Acquisition from Information Magic. If I remember correctly, it was written in the description that the extent you acquire changes depending on MP consumed. By using a large amount MP, wouldnt I be able to write, too?
I immediately tried to use Language Acquisition.
Language Acquisition
You will acquire Delaidos Common Language
Please select an acquisition level
Level 1 (MP Cost: 50)
You can converse with a few words
Level 2 (MP Cost: 100)
You can converse enough for an ordinary conversation.
Level 3 (MP Cost: 200)
You can fluently converse.
You can read simple words.
Level 4 (MP Cost: 500)
You can fluently converse.
You can read and write enough for ordinary use.
Level 5 (MP Cost: 1000)
You can converse with any words.
You can read and write any word.
So its a choice between level 4 and 5. Level 5 costs 1000 MP to use. Well, even if my MP decreased a little I would still have 2000 MP left. I guess Ill go with it.
I consumed 1000 MP and acquired Level 5 Delaidos Common Language.
Dear King
I have kidnapped Princess Elena
I cannot guarantee the life of anyone pursuing me
Of course, your life included
Well then, farewell
From Hero
I write my crime declaration and tape it to the prison wall. Taking Princess Elenas hand, we escaped the prison using Teleportation.
What do you think?
