Teacher Caught up in Class Summoning, Repairs Mechanical Girl With Unorthodox Skills

C44: A New Journey

This is the end of volume 2.

Professor Ashcroft was an android, which means that Professor Anastasia, Cassandra, and the king, Van Houten, are also suspicious. The Ostrode Kingdom has a connection with androids. I shook my head left and right and shifted my attention.

“Brünnhilde, it may be too late, but I’m going to the Magicalize Kingdom………What? I seem to have forgotten something………”

“Sensei?”

“………okay.”

“Yes, Sensei.”

“What should I do with this horse? I can’t even walk around with this thing.”

“No problem,《Vingskolnir》is treated as a sub weapon, so it can be disassembled and stored.”

And just as Brünnhilde said that, the horse disappeared.

“It’s a hell of a weapon, Brünnhilde is getting a big power boost.”

“Yes, Sensei. The data of [Legacy of the War Maiden] has been updated. I think we should secure the rest of the legacy to ensure our strength.”

“I agree. Perhaps the Ostrode Kingdom will now recognize us as their enemy…….We need the power.”

I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to free my students from the Ostrode Kingdom. I don’t care if Ashcroft is an android or not. I have a lot of things to think about, but I’m not lost anymore.

I became a little calmer.

“………The Ostrode Kingdom has taken over the Magicalize Kingdom, huh?”

In the end, the students are at the mercy of the Ostrode Kingdom. But it can’t be helped for now…….Too bad, though.

I’m not sure if it’s safe to go back to the Magicalize Kingdom, which is occupied by the Ostrode Kingdom, since Ashcroft has recognized me as an enemy.

Hmmm…….I guess I’ll just have to leave like this. It is possible that the promise made to Chancellor Nachtigal could not be fulfilled and that Lucia could have been captured. If Magicalize Kingdom is occupied, there could be an army stationed there.

“What’s going on, Sensei?”

“Hmm……some thinking. I’m not sure if it’s safe to leave like this, Brünnhilde. Should I go check on the Magicalize Kingdom?”

“I’ll make a suggestion. If what Type-Knight says is true, we should not approach it carelessly. We should continue on our way and build up our forces.”

“……..I agree.”

Chancellor Nachtigal, I’m sorry I couldn’t help you with Lucia…….And Kutone………huh?

“Oooohhhh! Sage, Brünnhilde~!”

I forgot about Kutone and Stallion.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

She stopped the carriage near us and hugged Brünnhilde.

“Oh, Brünnhilde! Thank God!”

“Kutone, please don’t stain my body. It’s filthy.”

“………”

Forcibly pulling away the crying Kutone, Brunnhilde went to Stallion. Stallion puts her face close to Brunnhilde and purrs sweetly. I check the cart. I thought it would be broken after all that hard driving, but it seems to be okay.

“Sage, the Magicalize Kingdom has been………”

“The Magicalize Kingdom……has been taken over by the Ostrode Kingdom.”

“Oh, no…….”

“Kutone, me and Brunnhilde are going to leave. I couldn’t fulfill my promise to Chancellor Nachtigal, but……I have things to do.”

“…………”

“What about you? Will you still go with me?”

“……Of course I’m coming. I’m Sage’s mentor, after all! And……I can’t tolerate the Ostrode Kingdom either!”

“Haha, let’s go then.”

“Yes!”

I went to Brunnhilde, who is still stroking Stallion.

“Brünnhilde, let’s go.”

“Yes, Sensei.”

“Brünnhilde, I look forward to working with you!”

“Yes, Kutone.”

Our journey begins here……….

“Sage……….”

“Huh……?”

The sound of rustling bushes and a voice calling out for me, when I, Brunnhilde, and Kutone looked at the bushes, there was a battered Lucia.

“Lucia……! You’re okay!”

“……Yeah. Chancellor Nachtigal sent me away.”

“Oh……thank God.”

“…………”

“I can’t believe the Order Commander is in such disarray.”

I carried Lucia into the carriage. Once again, she’s in bad shape. Her armor was shattered and her under armor was torn. She didn’t have her sword, and she looked like a defeated soldier.

I need to treat her injuries and ask her about the situation.

“Kutone, can you patch me up?”

“Yes, yes!”

“Brünnhilde, you can help her.”

“Yes, sensei.”

I got out of the carriage and waited for the treatment.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

After the treatment, I lent Lucia my shirt because I felt sorry for her in her tattered clothes. Brünnhilde doesn’t have a change of clothes, and Kutone’s clothes are…..small.

With a downcast look on her face, Lucia spoke in a voice. Gron and the other five knights are dead, Nakatsugawa and the others did it, Chancellor Nachtigal surrendered early, and she used magic to send Lucia away.

“Chancellor Nachtigal must have decided to surrender when they broke into the audience room without anyone noticing.”

“I’m sorry………Lucia. If I could have gotten to you in time, I would have……”

“That’s not true. The cheats of your students were out of the ordinary. It’s not your fault…….”

“………”

Lucia looked down and smiled.

“……Lucia, come with me.”

“What……?”

“I’m going to get the students back from the Ostrode Kingdom. Besides, it looks like they’ve found out about me, and they’re now fully aware that I’m an enemy.”

“………”

“You want to take back Magicalize from Ostrode, don’t you? So come with us……lend us a hand.”

“Sage……..are you sure?”

“Yeah. Please, Lucia.”

“………”

I held out my hand to her, and she reached for it with reluctance.

I grabbed her hand and hugged her tightly.

“We’ll get it back…..”

“Oh……”

Thus, Lucia became my traveling companion.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

I’ll have to check things out first.

“What are you going to do now, Sage?”

“First, let’s go to the Fauve Kingdom. According to Chancellor Nachtigal, there is a girl with a ring there. There’s a good chance she’s a……student of mine.”

“The Fauve Kingdom……are you sure about this? It’s a country of beasts, you know. I don’t think you can get arrested just for entering the country, but it might be dangerous.”

“But I’m going. Is that okay with Lucia?”

“Yes, but before……that, I need to update my clothes and equipment. I’m sorry…….”

“Don’t worry, I have money. Let’s go to the nearest town to get equipment and prepare for the journey. I’m sure the Kingdom of Ostrode hasn’t gotten that far, have they?”

“Besides, it is a long way to the Fauve Kingdom…….Preparations should be made carefully.”

“Good. We can make money by accepting requests in towns along the way.”

“Since we’re going through all this trouble, let’s make the Knight Commander an adventurer, too, and the four of us can form a party!　I’m starting to enjoy this!”

“That’s a good idea. And Kutone, you can call me Lucia.”

“Yes! Then, Lucia-san, let’s register as adventurers in a nearby town!”

“Okay.”

It looks like Kutone and Lucia will get along well. I looked at Brünnhilde and she was brushing Stallion with Silica, who had been there for some time, on her head. Where the hell has Silica been all this time?

I took out a map from my luggage and looked for a way to get to the Fauve Kingdom.

“Lucia, how do we get to the Fauve Kingdom?”

“The only way is to cross the Sea of Trees. First, let’s cross the border of the Magicalize Kingdom. We’ll get equipment in the town of Zido, which is just beyond the border.”

“Okay. Then let’s get going.”

“Yeah.”

“Yes!”

Kutone pulled Lucia to the carriage.

Brünnhilde, perhaps having heard the conversation, sat in the driver’s seat and took hold of the reins.

I took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.

“Yes!”

This was the beginning of my long journey.
