Princess In Another World: New Story
36
Morning, and the sun has not yet risen.
I woke up from my sleep. “After morning, yes.” Iona was still asleep next to me. I got up from the bed and went straight to the bathroom.
“Haaaa, there is something strange in this kingdom.” My first impression of this kingdom did look like an ordinary kingdom, but there was something that astonished me. “What is their destination?” The killers, who told them, what they wanted, killed or captured. If I don't find out who's behind this, I can't leave Iona here quietly.
“Ari, yes.”
“Iona, are you awake?”
“Yes, I want to wash my face, if you?”
“I'm done, then I go out first.”
“A-Ari, can you accompany me to buy something?”
“Bby, buy what?”
“I-it, t-wait later only.”
“Ya already.”
Still in the morning, the sun had risen perfectly.
“Clothing store?”
“You know, my clothes are on a horse-drawn carriage, so I don't have a change of clothes other than this.”
“So, yes. It must be a girl who has difficulty if she has to wear the same clothes, let alone the problem of underwear. You want to buy it too?”
“Y-ya.”
“Hmmm, so. Then choose what you like. I'll leave for a while, if you're done just wait I'll be right back.”
“Where are you going?”
“There's something I have to do, just take it easy it's only a moment I'll finish as soon as possible.”
“Once, yes.”
“Then, I go.”

I moved to the place where the grandfather I met yesterday was. “Woohooo, teleportation magic, I haven't seen him in a long time. Ahh, young man yesterday, where's your lover?”
“She is shopping at the moment, so I left her for a while.”
“Haaaa, the joy of youth. I used to get rejected a lot of times, probably because I was a little weird.”
“Slightly weird?”
“I spent a lot of time just to practice and develop a lot of magic, and because of that when I tried to get close to a girl the result always failed.”
“B-so.” Uh, why am I listening to the story, I'm here because I have something to ask. “Grandfather, I'm here because there's something I want to ask you.”
“Hoohoo, just ask. As long as I can answer, I will answer all your questions.” I told him about what happened yesterday, about those hit men. “So, most likely it is the royal special forces.”
“Government special forces?”
“Yes, sometimes his majesty the king tells him to eliminate people who can be a problem for this kingdom.”
“Trouble for this kingdom, yes. Grandfather, Thorwn kingdom in the eyes of the king about what?”
“Kingdom Thorwn, yes. I've heard a lot of amazing news from the small kingdom, at this time maybe the kingdom has grown.”
“Grandpa has been there?”
“Haaa, it reminds me of the past. I have been there several times, a peaceful and quiet place the population is also very friendly.”
“So.”
“In my opinion, right now his majesty the king is wary of anything coming from the kingdom of Thorwn. The kingdom has grown so rapidly in recent years, reportedly a few months ago 3 kingdoms attacked the kingdom and 3 kingdoms retreated. The troops they used were not many, but being able to defeat many warriors was obvious it made other kingdoms wary of it. Great power will only bring destruction, you should have understood it.”
“Ya, I understand.”
“But, yes. If used correctly, that great power would be a blessing. Arguably, a sharp sword with 2 eyes. If you wrongly pick it up, then your own hand will be hurt, but if you hold it properly you can kill many enemies at once. For now you just need to be careful, I think the king's army will not dare to do anything bad to you either. Even if it happens, you can protect yourself well, true’an.”
“Iya, if only protecting yourself is easy.”
“Then it's good. You'd better come back soon, I'm sure your girl is currently waiting for you.”
“Truely too, then I'll go.”
“Yes, if you have anything to ask again. Come to my place.”
“Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate it.”
“She's gone, yes. He's an interesting kid, I can't wait to see what he can do in the future. I wish I could see it before I go back to the land.”
---
“Ari, you're back. Is your business done?”
“Iya.”
“Oh yes, how do I look? Does this suit me?”
“I'm not good at judging people, you're beautiful anyway, so any outfit you wear will suit you.
“B-so?”
“Iya, then I will pay it first.”
“Cantics, yes. Thanks.”
A while after that.
“Hmmm, is there anything else you want again?”
“Nothing. I also already have enough clothes and a few other things.”
“Hmmm, is that it?”
“Oh yes, I want to visit the place I will stay.”
“You mean magic academy?’
“Iya.”
“Then, alright.” We returned to the inn, after putting our groceries immediately headed to the magic academy in this kingdom.
Long enough after that.
“Wahh, so this is a magic academy, yes. Looks really big, this place is gonna be a place for me to study, yeah. Ari, what do you think?”
This magic academy does look amazing, I believe the security of this academy is also quite strict. “As long as the head of the academy is good, I won't mind it.” I had a bad experience with the head of that academy.
“So. Oh yeah, how about we go inside?”
“What can?”
“Let's calm down, after all this place will be a place for me to learn later. So, want later or now it makes no difference.”
“Then, I'll see you.”
Long enough after that.
Inside that.
“Waaah, look they're practicing magic.”
“Iya.” The magic training in this academy is different from what I did. “Hmm, looks like I made a mistake.”
“Ari what's wrong?”
“Nothing. But luckily the guard allowed us to enter here.”
“Yes, I thought we were going to be banned, but after explaining that I would sign up they allowed it.”
“I'm curious, about what kind of training I will get if I train here, yes?”
“Maybe it will be the same as them.”
“How about we go around, maybe we can see something different.”
“Good.”
A few minutes later.
We arrived at a training ground.
“Wah, they practice fighting using magic.”
“It looks like it's magic for advanced students.”
“They look really great.” He saw it with great pleasure. “Can I be like that, huh?”
“Can, if you train harder.” (??) Someone slowly approached.
“Who?”
“Ahh, sorry. I'm a middle student at this academy my name is Kuiji. Are you two new students who are going to enroll next week?”
“Iya.” (Lion)
“Ahhh, sorry I didn't. My education at the academy is still not finished.”
“So, very unfortunate. Even so, you two have the potential.”
“Yes, many have said such a thing.”
“What are you guys coming to look around?”
“Iya.” (Lion)
“Then, allow me to be your guide.”
“Eh? May? Does that not trouble you?”
“No problem, I have no activities now so I am empty.”
“Then please help.”
We walked around with a guide who had met for the first time. “You two are close, yes. Are you two lovers?”
“Eh?! I-it..” Iona looked at me, but I just kept quiet. “Y-ya.”
“Thorwn.” When I said that, her footsteps stopped.
“Kuiji, what's the weird one?”
“T-no, I was just a little surprised to hear you guys are from the kingdom of Thorwn.”
“What's the reason?”
“Yes, the traders spread some bad rumors about the kingdom of Thorwn. Therefore I was a little surprised.”
“Bad rumors, what kind of rumors?”
“Yes, like the kingdom of Thorwn has a dragon assigned to eradicate all the approaching enemy forces, then about the special forces of their very great kingdom. They could even defeat an army that was a lot more than their numbers. Such are the rumors that circulated.”
“What happened to that?”
“You know, if you can control the dragon race it is something very extraordinary.”
“Isn't there any magic that can control dragons?”
“It is a forbidden magic, if the person using it is unable they will die from running out of mana or die from being eaten by the dragon they control themselves. But, all this time I have never heard that there is a great magician living in the kingdom of Thorwn, therefore I was quite surprised to hear such rumors.”
“So.” The news turned out to have reached this kingdom, yes even though it was old news but the incident could be something different for other kingdoms.
“Oh yes, I would like to ask you about the entrance exam. What should I prepare to enter this magic academy?”
“Hmmm, if not mistaken there are 3 stages of testing.”
“3 testing stages?”
“Yes, general knowledge. Magic capacity, and magic use.”
“So.”
“Then if not wrong, every time at the end there will be a test of fighting practice.”
“Workout fight? You mean fight like that?”
“Iya.”
“Iona's body is weak, can she not take that exam?”
“If it is like that, it seems like it can. Later when you are called to do battle training, just tell me about your body condition. The officers will definitely understand your condition, and you can pass the practice exam.”
“So, thanks for the suggestion.”
“It doesn't matter, after all if it's the state of your body like that how else. But, you should be able to pass all the early exams with good grades.”
“Once, I'll try.”
“In this way, you can calmly’.” Kuiji looked at me.
“Iya.”
“Oh yes, I don't know your names yet. If you can tell, your name?”
“Ahh, true also sorry. My name is Iona L. Thorwn, and he's Ari.”
“A princess?”
He said it again. ‘Already, I don't care.’
“Iya.”
“I did not expect to see the princess of Thorwn kingdom directly here.”
“This is just a coincidence.”
“Ahh, and sorry for the words I said earlier about Thorwn kingdom.”
“No problem, after all it's just a rumor the truth has not been proven.”
“Oh yes princess.”
“Call Iona only.”
“Ehh, I feel uncomfortable. How about princess Iona only.”
“I don't think it's a problem.”
“Then, princess Iona. Why do you want to study at the magic academy in this kingdom?”
“Ari advised me to come here, she said this is the best place if I want to develop my magic skills.”
“Yes, that's not wrong anyway. But as far as I know, the information about the existence of a magic academy in this kingdom is very limited. I wonder who told you that?”
“Prince Lucy advised me to bring Iona here.”
“Prince Lucy? Prince Lucy of the Groem kingdom?”
“Iya.”
“Once, if such is only natural. I've also met him here before.”
“Huh? Meet up? He's been here?”
“She took the entrance exam, but somehow when it was accepted she stopped right then and there. I think he has great talent, but I don't think he likes magic. Therefore he stopped.”
“So.” Yeah, that's right, he told me himself that he wasn't interested in magic. But, he once signed up here is something I don't know.
“If there is anything you want to ask about this academy please just ask me, I will answer as much as I know.”
“Good.”
This 2nd day, we toured the magic academy. Seeing things that are foreign all this time, become ordinary here.
Tomorrow.
Daytime.
“Ari, let's hurry!! Today they should have arrived.”
“Haaaa, yes wait.” We were on our way to the main gate, today the horse carriage carrying all Iona's necessities has arrived.
At the main gate.
“Ari, look at them there. I'll go there first.”
“Yes, I'll also go see them. You stay there until I get back.”
“Good.”
Outside the kingdom.
Forest area.
“Vice commander.” (Dirk)
I came to see the squad leaders.
“Dirk, Famus, Laren, and Grild. You guys okay?”
“We're all fine.” (Grild)
“How? On the way here did anyone stop your trip?”
“Tida is there, everything is fine during this trip.”
“So. Can you enter the kingdom?”
“The guard is very tight, I think going inside without knowing will be very difficult.”
“So.” So the guarding within this kingdom can only be done by me. “Then, you can watch from the outside. I'll be home after Iona's done all the exams, for a while you can do whatever you want. But remember, stay alert.”
“Good.” I went back into the kingdom.
“Ari, are you done?”
“Yes, how about your luggage? Did you check everything? Is nothing left behind?”
“Yes, everything is up and no one is left behind. I've had the bodyguard bring her stuff to the inn.”
“So.”
“Ari, what's wrong with you? Why do you look worried?”
“I just thought of something, you don't have to worry.”
“Seeing you like that where might I not be worried, if I could help just say.”
“Thank you, but I'm really okay. Haaa, okay. Do you want to take a walk today?”
“Walk? Where, all the places we visited yesterday.”
“Hehe, I have the exact secret.”
“Confidential place?”
“Ayo.” I held Iona's hand, and used teleportation.
---
“D-where is this?”
“We are in the highest place in this kingdom. Safety tower, if not wrong.”
“Safety tower?”
“This place is a place that is rarely visited, so very rarely anyone comes here. Then, how, do you like it? Here we can almost see the whole kingdom.”
“I like it, the view is very beautiful fromini.”
“Once, I'm glad if you like it.”
The atmosphere is so calm here and the wind is very soothing.
“Ari, thanks.”
“For what?”
“No, I just want to thank you. You always make my life better, thank you very much.”
“If it's just like that, there's no need for you to think.”
“Despite that, thanks.” The remaining time is 4 days.
