The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs - Volume 10 - Chapter 4.1

CHAPTER 4 - THE CUSTOM OF KINGDOM NOBLES

1

Airship Einhorn. 

The airship I built when I went to study abroad in the Republic is now fully recognized as my ship. 

Einhorn, with its distinctive single horn at the bow, moves through the blue sky. 

When I go out on the deck, Livia, who receives a strong wind, talks to me with her hand in her hair. 

“Leon-san, what kind of magic did you use?” 

“Magic?” 

“It’s Ange, Ange! Not long ago, she was depressed that Leon-san would hate her, but yesterday she couldn’t sleep because she was so excited about our departure.” As I recall, the same thing happened when we went out to the elven village. 

Since that time, Ange has always had a strong yearning for adventurers. 

No, is it the adventure itself? 

Stepping into uncharted lands and acquiring treasures ―― such adventurers are admired by the nobles. 

“I didn’t use magic or sleight of hand. I just wanted to have adventures with Ange.” 

Livia looks unconvinced, but seems to forgive me because Ange was actually pleased. 

“Are there really treasures?” 

“There are ―― it has to be. Unless no one has found it.” 

“As for me, I’m more interested in the ruins.” 

Livia, coming from a commoner background, had a strong image of adventurers as people who mined for magic stones. Therefore, she is looking forward to investigating the ruins rather than the treasures on this trip. 

“Don’t worry about that. You’ll see an ancient castle.” 

“You say that as if you’ve seen it all.” 

I touch my own chest with my right hand as Livia gives me a skeptical look. 

“Actually, when I found Luxion, I looked around in many places. This treasure hunt is one of the floating islands I found during that time.” 

“Really?” 

Livia looks to Luxion, who is by my side, for confirmation. 

Luxion speaks, adjusting the conversation to me. 

[Yes. We have created a map based on the data from that time. We don’t know what the treasure is, but we think there is a good chance that it is still there.] 

“I’m looking forward to it. It looks like Ange won’t be disappointed.” Seeing Livia’s concern for Ange makes me wonder what is going on. 

They were supposed to be enemies in that otome game. 

Now that they are best friends, you never know what will happen in the world. 

Livia looks up into my face. 

“Leon-san, thank you” 

“What?” 

“It’s about Ange. I couldn’t have cheered her up that much. After all, Ange needs Leon.” 

Livia looks away from me and grabs onto the railing to look at the sky visible from the deck. 

“I wonder? I don’t think Ange needs me.” 

“Eh?” 

“It means I am the one who needs her. Ange ―― and Livia, too.” 

Livia looked like she was going to ask me something, but I was aware that I had uttered an embarrassing line, so I decided to leave. 

“Luxion, it’s getting cold, let’s go inside.” 

[Yes, Master] 

“Livia also better get inside sooner.” 

As I leave the place to escape, I hear Livia’s voice at my back. 

“Leon-san, repeat those lines once again!” 

“I can’t because it’s embarrassing!”
