The Return of the World's Destructive Hero
Chapter 41: Why Are They All Gathering Here?
After a long journey, Satoru finally reached the capital. "Haft, finally arrived. I felt bad for asking Airi-san to look after the rabbit during my departure" Satoru sighed and muttered with a bad feeling towards the girl who helped him to take care of the rabbits.
After escorting Haruna back to her inn, Satoru returned home. "I'm home" he said as he opened the door.
"Welcome back Satoru-san!" Airi immediately ran to greet the arrival of the man warmly.
"I'm sorry, well, you kept the rabbits for as long as I was gone" Satoru said unhappily.
"Eng~ It's okay, anyway I'm happy to see them" Airi smiled sweetly.
At the same time there was a knock on the door. Satoru immediately turned around and opened the door.
"Eh?" At that moment he was surprised to see the beautiful blonde-haired woman he had been with on his way to the dungeon city.
"J-So you're back well" said the girl.
"I-yes... Is there anything you need from me?" Ask Satoru curiously.
"B-Mum-It doesn't mean I'm here because I want to meet you well" he said, turning his face red.
"I-yes?" Satoru doesn't know what happened, he lets Charlotte and her friends into the house.
The atmosphere became awkward in the living room, Satoru went towards the kitchen to pick up tea and snacks that he had. "Please~" He said putting drinks and food on the table.
"Thank you" said all of Charlotte's friends.
Satoru could only smile awkwardly looking at the situation. "What are you doing in the capital? Isn't the academy in Sofya city also starting to relearn?" Ask Satoru curiously.
"Ah, about that, we've moved to the academy in the capital" said one of Charlotte's friends.
"B-so yeah..."
Satoru poured tea into his cup and drank it.
"Satoru-san has something I want to ask you" It felt like the cold was coming from Airi's question.
Charlotte also said the same thing.
"A-What is that?" Satoru asked hesitantly.
"This girl" they said to each other.
"Is he really your tunagan!? / Is he really your girlfriend?" Tell them both at the same time.
"Eh?" Satoru was shocked when he heard that.
What are they talking about?
A boyfriend? A fiancee? I don't know anything about that.
Satoru was still silent with an awkward smile on his face. Soon someone else came to his house. A white haired girl opened the door of her house and directly spoke "Satoru-sama please come to the palace. There's something I want to talk about!"
Upon seeing the white haired girl Charlotte and Airi looked at Satoru coldly. "Hey, he who are you again Satoru-san?" Airi asked with an intimidating smile.
"Wait a minute! I don't know what you're talking about!" Satoru immediately stood up and shouted awkwardly, he did not know what was going on.
"Now what else!?" Shouted Satoru who looked annoyed.
"Eh?" Seeing the look on Satoru's face that was so upset, Haruna was quite surprised and did not speak.
"Ah, I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell at you Haruna-san" Satoru said feeling bad when he saw that she was Haruna.
Suana becomes quiet and so awkward, all of Charlotte's friends go out of the house and leave Charlotte, Airi, Haruna, Reina and Satoru in the living room.
What the hell is going on? Why are they all gathered here?
"Hmm~ So not only with us, it turns out you also know the princess of this kingdom" Airi glanced at Satoru.
"What is your relationship with Satoru-sama?" Ask the princess curiously.
Satoru let out a long sigh and got up standing "Sorry, but will you guys be able to go home? I just got home from my trip, so I want to take a break. For the princess, I will come to the palace tomorrow and for Charlotte-san and Airi-san, I don't know what you guys think of me, but please don't say such a thing. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, so for today please help you go home first" Satoru said at length.
"Oh yes, Haruna-san you came to take the medicinal plants that were entrusted to me right. It's a sac filled with medicinal plants" Satoru took out a pouch containing medicinal plants that they collected on their way home.
Upon hearing that, they became moody and apologized to Satoru. They came out of the house one by one with a bad feeling because it made Satoru feel uncomfortable.
When they came out of the house, a red-haired girl was about to enter the house.
"Eh?"
"Don't you also want to meet with Satoru-san?" Airi asked with a gloomy face.
"I-yes, is he inside?" Ask the girl.
"Yes, he's inside. But, you better not see her today" Airi advised.
"Ah, it's okay. I just came here to give her a letter" said the girl showing a sealed letter from the royal family.
"Eh? That letter! Is that from my dad?" Reina asked as she looked at the letter that the girl showed.
"Eh? Princess master!? Why are you here?" The girl was shocked when she found out that the princess of her kingdom was in the house where a man lived. "Ahem, sorry I was just surprised. Yes, this letter is from your father, but more precisely this letter came from your grandfather" said the girl answered the princess's question.
"Grandfather?"
"Yes, then I will give you this letter first" said the girl about to open the door of the house.
However, Satoru went straight out and took out a letter held by the girl "This is for me right?" He said as he took the paper.
"I-Yes..."
"Then thank you" Satoru immediately closed the door of his house and went into the room.
There he opened the letter and read the contents.
"Satoru how are you? Did you have fun at the academy? Kurahap. Soon there will be a magic knight tournament in the capital, I want you to keep your security there. I will also come to the capital. Oh, right, I forgot to say that I am the former king of the Earshied kingdom. The current king is my son, he has a daughter. I thought you'd be a good match for her, what if you two got engaged? Then I'll meet you later when I get to the capital"
"Huft~ So well, so the master is the previous king. Then tell me from the beginning! What is suitable and engaged!? I'm sorry but I won't take it!" Satoru yelled in annoyance in his room as he read the letter.
