Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita? ~ Tensei Chokugo wa Donzoko Sutāto, Demo Ban'nō Mahō de Gyakuten Jinsei o Jōshō-chū!-Chapter 23.1 - Roundtable Meeting (1)

Translator: Lady Black

There was a large roofed rest area near the lake’s log house.

Inside, stood a large round table and Charlotte raised her voice before the ‘Knights’

“I’m very grateful that you’ve gathered here amidst your busy schedules. I’m really sorry.”

Pekurito

Charlotte bowed her head, a person with dog ears raise his hands.

“It’s the round table conference. I won’t let anyone complain since it means that the situation is serious. I’ve to stop cleaning myself but if she complains later then I can’t help but let her fool around Charlotte.”

“Right, that’s a problem. Father was indulgent with me but he was afraid of me when I came at the point needed. I’ve been making excuses like ‘Frey forced me to do something’”

“Why are you using me!” 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

“It’s because the round table conference is a secret meeting. One cannot just blurt it out.”

“I know that!”

Next was the Blue Dragon Lisa that gaze vacantly at the conversation between the two.

“Haha, you two were in good terms but Charlotte-sama, let’s recall the round table rules article 7 ‘Don’t talk’ I think it’s time to focus at the subject at hand”

There’s a soft skeleton clattering.

His name was Johnny. Haruto put him in.

He’s the commander of the Night Skeleton Army, that’s one of the summoned creatures that were supposedly ruin Charlotte.

When the summon disappeared, they become dusty and unable to maintain their existence but they could still serve Haruto. Due to the influence of a pile in which Haruto plunged the magical forces.

They were unable to speak since they had no vocal cords and didn’t breathe but they could create a world in which Haruto could hear their voices thus enabling him to communicate.

“Oh, I’m sorry. Are you all ready?”

Charlotte looked around the table and popped out o the restroom.

A huge stone sat on the gym.

His name was Gigan. It’s another Giant Golem that Haruto arbitrarily named. He’s been made to be able to speak, but he hardly ever speaks thus silent.

Charlotte coughed.

“My brother will be leaving the Royal Capital next week. He’ll go to the Magic School in the Royal Capital.”

“What?! This is the first time I’m hearing this news!”

“I just heard it too, today. I think the timing was right. For instance, letting the poor wagon be unnerved and throw himself into a trap.” 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

“We’re the same since it wasn’t worth it” Frey catching her head.

“It’s heartbreaking for us…” Johnny said.

“My dearest master…” Gigan seconded

“Now, the main subject is~”

Charlotte said very clearly.

“Is it necessary for my older brother to learn more about magic at school? That’s a big no.”

“I totally agree. I can’t talk in detail but Haruto-sama won’t be able to learn more than he already knows.”

“Oh, what’s that ‘Only I know’ statement? What? Do you know Lisa and Johnny too? The Demon secret?!”

“don’t jump at the tail! Even if you’re a member of the round table, there’s the situation of the demons that they cannot talk about.”

“Uh… I want to know your secret brother…”

“Kuh. No, it’s no good even if you have your eyes sparkle.”

He couldn’t see that Frey was on the verge of falling and his teeth were stuck.

“charlotte-sama, you’re the one that is favored. For us, we’re… no, I’m in a better position. However, you’re delicate. I would like to apologize.”

“Cho, dear~… ehe~”

“You’re satisfied now… let’s continue this round table meeting.”

“hai hai, sorry.”

Charlotte coughed again.

“Your father told me that it was the King’s recommendation that he should go to school. There are reasons that he couldn’t say no. If your brother could get out of the situation, then he could’ve thought of something already.”

Johnny said as if he made up his mind.

“If something went wrong then deal with it.”

“That’s it!”

“Charlotte pointed at Johnny.

“My school said that that school was a very dangerous place.”

“What?!”

“Is that…”
