Chapter 1 – The Encounter with the Princess.

 

 

「Are you sure with that skill」

「Yeah」

 

I nodded.

The result of turning the lottery machine a few hundred times, and with its content.

There would be no better choice than choosing this.

 

「I understand. Well then, the teleportation starts now. And there’s one last thing that I have to explain」

「What?」

「It is possible to return to this world anytime if you really wish to return, but when you return once, you can never go back there again, so be careful」

「I got it」

「Well then」

 

When the staff said that, a light flashed below my feet, and a magic circle appeared.

Like the man a while ago, it was the same scene with the man who hit the first prize.

Light wraps me around, and the scene before my eyes becomes pure-white.

 

☆

 

When my sight returned, I was outdoors, in a place I had never seen before.

Sunlight leaks from the trees, in the middle of the forest.

 

「Uhm……Is this already the fantasy world?」

 

I looked around. It was suddenly outdoors so I was surprised, but if I was asked if this is the fantasy world, I wouldn’t know.

It looked the same as the picnic course of the sightseeing spot I saw in the past when I went on an excursion.

 

「Right, by the way, the skill. wasn’t it All Abilities 777 Times」

 

I wonder what went up. Because it says All Abilities, probably everything has gone up.

I decided to try it for the time being.

Squatting down, I charged power to my feet and then jumped.

 

「Whoa!!」

 

Instinctively, I let out a voice. Even though I jumped lightly, I flew like I was launched by something.

The top of my head hit the trees, went through it, and flew up.

The ground is that far. I probably at least flew by 20 meters.

 

「The power really isーーMu!」

 

From far away, I noticed something. （I noticed later on that even my eyesight improved）

Outside the forest, I saw a carriage.

Surrounding the carriage was knight-like men that are protecting it, and a group who wore different clothes was attacking them.

There were three people on the defending side, but two had already been knocked down.

They were lying on the ground, so it’s hard to tell, but, beneath their bodies was a sea of blood.

The attacking side has at least more than ten people.

 

「Are they being attacked, Ku!」

 

When I landed, I ran in the direction of the carriage that was being attacked.

My legs, too, became faster. The feeling of the wind being cut exceeds that of a bicycle, it’s just as fast as I was riding a motorcycle.

I dashed through the forest and ran to the carriage that was being attacked.

 

「Give up already. In such a place, there ain’t anyone who’s gonna help you」

 

The attacking side said.

Un, it’s decided. The way he talked and what he was saying, too, was a very villain-like line.

I did not hesitate, I decided to help.

 

（Wait……What do I have to do?）

 

After I decided to help, I realized.

What should I do with that?

My abilities went up, but only that. Honestly, I played baseball a little as a child, but that’s all. I don’t have experience in martial arts.

I don’t have a clue how to attack another person at all.

 

（Whatever! I’ll just do it even if I fail!）

 

The one I saw on television, I recalled the appearance of the assistant player who rushed to the home ground and tackled the guy who spoke villain-like lines.

 

「What the hell are yooooooou!」

 

The guy’s voice sounded like it had the Doppler effect.

And that guy, he just flew away just like that.

It was a surprising way to fly away. My tackle made him fly, as it was shown in gag mangas.

 

It was different from gag mangas though, he flew tens of meters and landed,  after bouncing a few times, he didn’t flinch even a little, and never moved forever.

 

「W-What are you」

「You……what on earth」

 

Both the attacking side and the side being attacked were surprised.

Well, suddenly coming out like this, it is natural to be surprised like that.

But anyways, it’s the right choice to come to help after all.

The attacking side is foul-mouthed and looks like bandits, but the defending side wears armor carved with a crest, and the way they speak is that of a knight.

Un, it was right to help them.

Therefore, I faced the bandits.

 

「W-What the hell are you……」

 

To the frightened bandits, in the meantime, I……although holding back a little……tackled everyone and made them fly.

 

「I am saved」

 

The knight’s leader-like man sheathed his sword and gave thanks.

 

「My name is Fortis」

「Ah……Uhm, I’m Yuuki Kakeru.  If Kanji is difficult, it’s fine to call me Kakeru」

「Kan……ji?」

「A-Ah.   No, it’s nothing. Just call me Kakeru normally」

 

Based on Fortis’ reaction, I learned that there is no Kanji in this world.

Because it was possible to talk normally suddenly, I said Kanji as usual.

 

「Is that so? To Kakeru-dono’s help, I express my gratitude. If it continued like that, who knows what would’ve happened」

 

Fortis said heartily.

The person who is currently standing here right now is Fortis and me only.

Before I showed up, Fortis’ comrade-like two were knocked down, and over 10 enemies were remaining.

The knocked-down knights got up and are given treatment right now but don’t seem to be able to fight right away.

If it continued that way, certainly, “who knows what would’ve happened,” you’d say.

 

「Fortis」

 

A voice was heard from inside the carriage.

A beautiful, young girl’s voice.

 

「Ha!」

「Take off the hood」

「As you wish」

 

Fortis exaggeratedly bowed and then removed the carriage’s hood.

From inside, a girl appeared.

 

「Uwa……」

 

I let out a voice instinctively. The girl who came out was just so beautiful.

Wearing a white dress, wearing a shining tiara.

With golden long hair and pointed ears.

And a demeanor where elegance overflows.

She took Fortis’ hand, get’s off the carriage, and stood in front of me.

 

「My name is Helene Teresia Mercouri. The third princess of the Mercouri Kingdom」

 

 

「A-Ah……I’m Kakeru……Wait, I already said that earlier, huh」

 

I was stunned by her beauty, and although I’m sure that I could be heard inside the carriage, I named myself once again.

 

「Thank you very much, Kakeru-sama」

 

Princess Helene said her gratitude with a serious look.

 

「No, Uhmm, un. I-It’s nothing」

 

I became incoherent.

Until now, among all the women that I have seen, I’m sure that Helene is the most beautiful.

I was, mesmerized by Helene.

 

「Normally, Kakeru-sama should be invited to go to the royal palace and be given gratitude heartily. That is what I wanted to do, but. I am on the way to the front lines to do a consolation」

「U-Un……」

「However, I will make sure to return this gratitude」

 

Helene put out her hand slowly.

The thing she holds in her palm, she hands it to me.

I received and looked at it.

A fan where a splendid crest is drawn.

As soon as I had it in my hand, I felt warmth and smelled a good fragrance.

 

「When you go to the king’s castle, please stop by」

「I will make it so that if you show it to the castle soldiers, they would know what to do」

 

Fortis did further explanation.

 

「Y-Yeah……I got it」

 

While I was mesmerized and couldn’t react properly, Helene once again went inside the carriage, and departed with Fortis and the two knights, who finally managed to move.

Afterward, being left behind, I was stupefied.

 

「What a beautiful person……」

 

I muttered, but it was still too soon to make it as a past form. After she was completely gone, my head which started to work again, finally understood that.
