Otherworld TRPG Game Master Chapter 17

EP.17

2nd Prince Irid gathered all the manpower he could summon. To some it is authority, to others it is money, to others it is recognition. He did not choose any means possible.

It’s been a long time since I shed a single shred of pride. In order to rescue Sentra, he also reached out to 1st Princess Elaine, with whom he had not been on good terms.

Considering their usual relationship, it was unlikely that she would grant Irid’s request with her bare mouth. So Irid was even prepared to suffer some losses in the competition to succeed to the throne…

but surprisingly, the first princess willingly accepted the invitation. With the words that, as a sister, she would listen to her poor younger brother’s request. Irid interpreted this as meaning that he would erase political debt.

On the way into the conference room, Irid encountered 1st princess Elaine.

A gorgeous dress and a shawl around the neck. Two hands with eye-catching beauty and stitch marks that look like rags. Even though three years had passed since he met Elaine, it was still the same as Irid remembered.

Despite being of imperial blood, her hair was the color of platinum. However, no one doubted her lineage and legitimacy. Because the 1st princess has proven her abilities.

And he smashed the heads of those who talked carelessly with both hands.

The 1st princess did not bring an attendant. She had the confidence of a woman who had entered the demon world on her own. She always acted as if there was nothing in the world that could harm her.

Irid swallowed dry saliva.

“Irid? It’s been a while. Would you like to be held by your sister like you were when you were little?”

The 1st princess spread her arms. Although it was a universal friendly gesture, in Irid’s eyes, it looked like the mouth of a lion waiting with its mouth open.

The 1st princess has been like that since long ago. She enjoyed subduing Irid. When Irid held a banquet to celebrate her fourteenth birthday, the event hall where all nobles gathered spread their arms like this.

Hold it as if you were handling a child── and lift it up. Didn’t it spin in a circle three times? Even if I tried to protest against being treated like a child, I couldn’t open my mouth after feeling the strength of a dragon’s claws.

If it had been Irid before, she would have submitted and been held in the arms of the first princess.

The 1st princess would have grabbed the back of Irid’s head and buried his face into her deep cleavage, and the nobles would have lowered their evaluation of Irid when they saw that. They say that the first princess is, after all, worthy of the throne.

But the current Irid was different.

As long as he recalled his memories, he was able to gain courage even in the face of storms.

“I will decline. My arms already have another owner.”

“It’s a shame… But she’s happy because she seems to have become a little more manly. Has our prince met a woman before he knows it?”

“We met.”

“…Well, we only met for a short time?!”

Perhaps embarrassed by Irid not being as submissive as before, the 1st princess let out a voice of confusion. It was a small rebellion, but it was a hit anyway.

Irid turned his back, feeling proud deep in his heart. He has grown up. Now, with this grown-up mindset… it was time to start the meeting to save Sentra.

“What do you mean, you met him? Can you explain in more detail? Huh?”

================================================================================= =============

“First of all, I would like to say thank you for accepting my sudden request for support. The purpose of this meeting is to simulate lifesaving in emergency situations and responding to small-scale rebellions. Complex “As the task was given, we gathered a variety of experts. Let’s start with introductions.”

When the 2nd Prince spoke at the head table, he stood up in the order in which he sat at the table and introduced his status.

A woman in a neat suit stood up and bowed.

“This is Analyst C of the Imperial Defense and Defense Bureau.”

Next, an old man wearing a gray robe bowed his head from his seat.

“Elder of the Red Magic Tower… Pearl Sun. I guess you’ve gathered some interesting aspects?”

The 1st princess sitting across from me folded her hands together and spoke.

“This is Elaine, the 1st princess. I’m glad you came together to help my younger brother. I will remember your dedication.”

Second Prince Irid ran the political language translator in his head.

Tiririk.

I’m Elaine, the 1st princess => I’m the 1st princess and a strong candidate for the emperor.

I’m glad you came together to help my brother. => It’s uncomfortable.

I will remember that dedication. => I remembered your faces.

Irid was appalled at the sight of the 1st princess starting to play politics like a sword. The elder of the Red Magic Tower, who had participated purely because it seemed fun, looked like he was wondering whether he should leave even now.

Irid began an emergency response.

“I invited them, and the same goes for you. If you are here to help, I hope you will behave appropriately for the situation.”

=> Shut up.

“Oh, that’s right… This is my younger brother’s meeting, so it would be appropriate for him to lead the meeting. I was embarrassed because it was my first time experiencing this. Will you forgive this sister?”

=> Yes, this mite.

Irid’s stomach boiled over the one-sided deal. However, the First Princess is definitely helpful to this meeting. Because she was a master of all physical activities. Irid indicated the next order with a gesture of his chin.

The crazy wizard who noticed this got up and bent his back to 90 degrees.

“I am the wizard of the Purple Magic Tower.”

“…You don’t even reveal your name?”

“Because it’s not a name worth revealing. There are other names like that.”

The crazy wizard broke all manners and laws from the start and pointed with both hands at the girl sitting next to him. It was frozen as if a freezing spell had been applied.

“This is Yuna Yurensto Violet Iris, the lord of the Purple Magic Tower.”

“…Ah, I’m half gone….”

“‘It’s an honor for you to invite me, Prince. I’m Yuna Violet Iris, the Purple Magic Tower Lord. I’ll do my best to contribute even if it’s only a small amount of my strength.'”

“I thought it was a doll because it didn’t move a thing since I entered the conference room, but it turned out to be a person?”

“…I’m so rude… I’m sorry…”

“I’m asking for an apology for the 1st princess’s rude words… billion!”

Sigh!

A wonderful one-inch punch exploded into the crazy wizard’s side.

The purple magic tower owner, whose survival instinct was maxed out due to the crime of insulting the imperial family, introduced himself in a rapid-fire manner. In order to survive, I had to speak out somehow.

“This is Magic Tower Juyuna Violet Iris. Please take care of me. That’s what I was trying to say!”

Irid, who was looking with pity on the purple magic tower that was desperately trying to avoid insulting the imperial family, provided support fire from the side.

“That male wizard is not of sound mind. It’s a side effect of magic research. I hope you understand.”

“For some reason, my eyes felt cloudy.”

“Cluck… I heard it’s easy to go crazy if you study illusion magic.”

“…That kind of slander is troubling…”

Amidst the commotion, the priest who was last in line quietly raised his hand to introduce himself.

Like a lie, no one cared.

The last member of the meeting, Military Priest Julius, muttered timidly.

“Please take care of me… I am Julius, the former cardinal and current military priest.”

“Then why did you take away the archmage’s lumber, Purple Magic Tower lord? Our tower lord was so excited that he could complete the ‘Solar Explosion’ spell…” “

That’s just… illusion magic. ” “I’m interested in…!”

“Isn’t it the established theory that you were made to choose the Purple Magic Tower through hypnotic brainwashing?”

“…Ugh…!!”

“This is Julius Yu… Hey…?”

As the self-introduction ended, Irid clapped twice to attract attention.

“Let’s start the meeting.”

================================================================================= =============

Irid drew a visible structural diagram of the inn room on a large piece of drawing paper. Detailed information on the width and height of the structure up to the point where the incident occurred.

“You can think of it as a strategy simulation wargame. This is what I’d like help with: How to achieve my desired goal in this situation.”

“Are you late into playing?”

“sister.”

Irid’s eyes were burning.

“I’m serious.”

First Princess Elaine opened her eyes wide and then smiled softly.

“…It doesn’t look like it’s a game. You have such a firm expression. You’re old enough to make that kind of expression. Okay, I’ll listen to you seriously.”

“Okay. I am positioned sitting on the bed in this bedroom. The explosion site is at the end of the left hallway. The rescue target was most likely attacked at this point.”

“Oh, so you called the Red Magic Tower? Please tell me in detail the shape of the explosion, the shape of the dislodged debris, the size of the vibration, and the shape of the aftereffects.”

The elder of the Red Magic Tower, whose eyes were shining, carefully listened to the second prince’s testimony and came to a conclusion.

“The spell appears to be 『Fire Spirit’s Strong Breath』 or 『Ecomic’s Lament』. They are spells that focus on the fire element rather than the physical shock wave of the secondary explosion… There are quite a few variables. Do you have any other clues? ?”

“I don’t think it was a wizard’s casting. There were no wizards among the people gathered at the inn. It’s too early to jump to conclusions, but I think it’s highly likely that it was a scroll.”

“Then it’s easy to calculate! I see… I see. If you’re a magical user, you have to be extremely unlucky to die. In the first place, the two spells are spells that focus on neutralization rather than lethality. The flame itself only causes burns.”

Crunchy.

Hearing those words, War Priest Julius’ eyes lit up.

“…Aha, Prince. You need emergency treatment. I will teach you a trick to dissipate the mana that has infiltrated your body. It will be helpful if you have been hit by fire magic… and for your recovery afterwards.”

Analyst C of the Imperial Defense Bureau, who was looking closely at the map of the building, tapped the table with his index finger to make a sound and said:

“The internal structure of this inn looks familiar. It is a building that was famous as the Changgwan ‘Rosaria’. It is currently one of the secret bases acquired by the Imperial Protection and Defense Bureau and used by agents as a meeting point.”

“…Was it a base for the Defense Bureau? That’s why.”

There was a reason why it was used as a base for the resistance.

Irid thought that Sentra’s father might have been a member of the Defense Bureau.

“There is a secret passage nearby that you can use. If the hostile forces are not aware of the passage, you can use it. Draw the following magic door on the wall of the second floor and it will open.”

“I’ll take note.”

Crunchy.

Lastly, 1st princess Elaine came forward.

“It would be a good idea to practice a few moves. My little brother is physically challenged, right?”

“…Didn’t you tell the knight commander to take care of himself too?”

“It hurts when you can’t move as you want. Tell me information about someone who is likely to appear as an enemy. It might be helpful.”

“This is a female mercenary from Ronya. She has a scar on her face and is armed with leather armor. She wears a palm-length dagger on her waist, and the handle of the dagger is very worn. Her main weapon appears to be a long sword. From what I heard, she also seems to know how to use a crossbow. army.”

“I guess their main weapon isn’t a long sword? Mercenaries and other uneducated people… are so stupid that they can’t use a long sword. Even if they learned it, they can’t use it properly. There are tricks that can’t be learned on a dirty battlefield. Ah, the dagger is all the way down. “Don’t let go. If you get frustrated, the last move will be a dagger.”

“Can I kill you?”

“Sure. Know this movement. Longsword swordsmanship is like chess, so you only have to change your posture accurately according to the pattern. When you come to the top, it’s like this… No, after the meeting, let’s go to the training hall together. The military priest as well.”

The war priest was stunned when his name was suddenly called after being dazed.

“…Yes?”

“Because I’m going to make it rough.”

Crunchy.

“…What are you writing down like that from earlier?”

“Oh, since I have nothing else to do, I’m going to try to be a secretary.”

The wizard of the Purple Magic Tower diligently wrote down the contents of the meeting in his notebook. The meeting lasted until late at night, and the sound of the wizard writing down continued until the end of the meeting. When the meeting ended,

the wizard was really Izzy was smiling brightly.

“I finished the session.”

It was because I had skimmed through all of the material.

I included a few

words from the author (author review) .

It would be great if you enjoyed it today as well.

I love you, readers.

Good news. Have a nice day, My Friends!
