The Struggle of Returning to The Other World Chapter 25

Chapter 25
On the way back from the magic institute, I met Ordias-san by the doorway .   As I passed by him, I was surprised by his random words as he sighed . He said something along the lines of me disturbing the sleep of other people .   For a moment I didn’t understand what he said so I was prepared to leave Ordias-san . I then immediately thought back on the night that Noel appeared in my room . That night, Noel grabbed my shoulders and the bracelet I received from Ordias-san flashed like a warning . After that, nothing particular happened so I thought it was only a simple warning . It turns out it has contacted Ordias-san .   “Please wait, Ordias-san . About what happened…” (Haruka) “I know it was because of Noel . ” (Ordias) I haven’t done anything wrong since I can’t help it .   “I knew he was going to contact you sooner or later so I wasn’t surprised . ” (Ordias) “…How long have you known? Did you overhear the conversation?” (Haruka) “When I found out that the other party was Noel, I didn’t do anything troublesome like eavesdropping on the conversation . ” (Ordias)   As expected .   But that’s not all . There was also some advice about being used by Ordias-san and the Prime Minister . If Ordias-san were listening, what would happen? Will it change how I treat you?
“At any rate, I don’t know who’s listening, but it’s foolish to talk in the hallway . I don’t have anything to talk about today . You better go home for dinner . ” (Ordias)   Wow, you’re in a bad mood!   Though it seems like the way we were talking have changed .   Is it better for me to assume that the conversation has been heard by him? You were listening, weren’t you? If I’ve tried to press for an answer, Ordias-san’s mood is likely to sink into the deep abyss .   Well, even if the conversation was heard, it’s helpless .   It looks like it’s better to run off quickly . I turn to escape from the magic institute .

    ・ ・ ・ ・     Nothing is more horrifying than Ordias-san in a bad mood .   I walk down the corridor alone while praying to God to not bother . However, it may be unnecessary since no one dares to approach me here . The parting with Ordias-san might backfire .   On the way home from the institute, a completely different disaster suddenly appears .
“Wait a moment . ”   A shadow unexpected appears in the hallway stopped me .   I’m not far away from the magic institute yet . The corridor has been empty until now . I didn’t expect anyone to speak in such a place . I raised my face with a strange feeling .   It was a young lady who was about the same age as me .   She is wearing a long light blue dress with a long white jacket . The gorgeous blonde with dignified brown eye stares firmly at me . It’s clearly a young lady with high standing . Rather, this lady gives off a divinity-like feeling…   “Ah!” (Haruka)   I thought about the young lady in front of me .   She is probably the Sotini-san person Lunsan was telling me about . The female Priestess who is in love with Ordias-san . She saw me as a love rival .   Yup, no doubt about it .

Yup, no doubt about it .   I quickly turned right . It looks like she has no intention of letting me go . “You’ll have to wait!” (Sotini) She grabbed my shoulders to prevent me from escaping .   Only at times like this would the bracelet I received from Ordias-san not react .
I want you to stop choosing your opponent and activate your ability .   “Excuse me, what is it?” (Haruka) I turn to face the young lady . The young lady looked me up and down . “Are you the delivery person?” (Sotini) “That’s right . ” (Haruka) Let’s try not to refute anything . My instincts are telling me that it’s the quickest way to escape .   “Your name?” (Sotini) “I’m Haruka . ” (Haruka) “A masculine name . ” (Sotini)
“I’m often told that . ” (Haruka) “I’m Sotini . ” (Sotini) “It’s a nice name . ” (Haruka)
It is the rumored Sotini-sana after all . In order of not showing my inner thoughts, I decided my counterattack is to be as polite as possible .   “I don’t care about the name . What I want to confirm is… you’re an acquaintance of Ordias-sama, aren’t you?” (Sotini)   Unexpectedly, Sotini immediately cut the chase and brought out the main point .  

  I see…I didn’t intend to spend any time talking about this pointless topic because it’s troublesome . It’s better to quickly say something good and escape . Especially in this case where this question is a waste of time .   “Ordias-san is a benefactor whom I’ve been indebted to for a long time . However, the relationship now is just me being a delivery person for the magic institute’s bento . “How rude of you to call him Ordias-san . He is the first-class sorcerer in this country . ” (Sotini) “Oh, excuse me then . Ordias-sama . ” (Haruka) This is a game of trying to avoid the main topic . I have to be careful to not say anything bad .   Ordias-sama’s…   I can somehow read the flow of the conversation .   Although it is speculation, Ordias-san probably avoided talking to Sotini-san before he came across me earlier .   Ordias-san, who was frightened to be bothered by Sotini-san, escaped from her . Although he successfully escaped, he was still irritated and didn’t have anyone to take it out on . Until he came across me and took it out on me . The moody Ordias-san was probably because Sotini-san was chasing around Sotini-san . This might be the reason why she was standing alone in the empty corridor .   I met Sotini-san because I decided to escape from the magic institute . If you think about it, the flow of event is connecting .      Even so…   I’m surprised . I thought Sotini-san was an older woman, but she is about the same age as me . It’s a cultural shock to see a teenage girl fall head over heels in love with an uncle who is over 30 . I want to wake her up and shout into her eat, but I think it’s probably useless .   “You . You know who I am don’t you . ” (Sotini) “You’re here to ask me about Ordias-sama…Your future fiancé . ” (Haruka) “Yeah, that’s right . ” (Sotini) For a little bit, it seems like Sotini-san’s mood has improved . “How can you be his wife? After all, you’re only a waitress in a small diner . You’re not suitable for Ordias-sama . Think about that carefully . You don’t know the feeling of yearning I have for Ordias-sama, but he sees me as a nuisance . It’s unacceptable for him to keep meeting you while he ignores me . It’s not fair because I’m the one who has always cling and yearn for him . ” (Sotini)    “How can you be his wife? After all, you’re only a waitress in a small diner . You’re not suitable for Ordias-sama . Think about that carefully . You don’t know the feeling of yearning I have for Ordias-sama, but he sees me as a nuisance . It’s unacceptable for him to keep meeting you while he ignores me . It’s not fair because I’m the one who has always cling and yearn for him . ” (Sotini)     I’ve decided to just go with the flow, but that decision is starting to wavered . Should I tell her that it’s not true and that I’m not the one chasing after Ordias-san with an unfit unrequited love? I could argue with her but it’ll just make her more agitated and that’ll be more troublesome . As a result, I decided I could only put on a smile and stay silent .   “He is my future companion that is fated by God to stay by my side . This is the absolute destiny decided by God . You can’t change anything . Even if you try to change fate by controlling his stomach . ” (Sotini) “No…not at all . ” (Haruka) Ordias-san has never eaten the bento . “…Your bento seems to be quite delicious for the common people but it doesn’t fit his taste . ” (Sotini)   No matter how much I tried to change the direction of the conversation, it always ends up at this topic . Sotini-san has no intention of listening to me and have decided everything by herself .   “Hey, let me eat your bento . ” (Sotini) “Eh?” (Haruka)   I try to refuse but Sotini-san shot me a sharp look . “You’re not going to refuse my request, are you?” (Sotini) “Well, you’re a very noble person Sotini-san . ” (Haruka) “If Ordias-sama had it, me being his future wife means I should too . ” (Sotini) “Just because his men are eating it, Ordias-sama himself has never eaten it before!” (Haruka)
“You’re lying . ” (Sotini) Sotini-san’s loud voice quickly follows . “Even though I’ve prepared lunch for Ordias-sama today, he refused because he said he has a bento reserved . He won’t waste the bento he reserved but my meals are more delicious than an ordinary person’s bento!” (Sotini) Sotini-san quickly grasps my hand . “I have to know . I have to know the taste of the bento your diner has . ” (Sotini)

 

I want to go home already… On the way back from the magic institute, I met Ordias-san by the doorway .   As I passed by him, I was surprised by his random words as he sighed .
