2-11: The Border Between Justified and Excessive (2/5)

Fua, nbu!

Shinichis nose was itchy.

All this time he has been pushing his nose on his shoulders to prevent himself from sneezing.

As for why he was doing this, one reason was because there were a lot of people around him. Another reason was because both of his hands were currently occupied.

Whats more is that whats occupying his hands is a precious baby.

Aaa, kyauu?

Is everything okay, Shinichi-kun?

His younger brother, whom he held in his arms, made a surprised face because of his actions.

Meanwhile, his small-statured mother, Rinko, worriedly wiped Shinichis shoulders with tissue.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Thank you very much.

Dont worry. Shinji didnt get any on him.

Shinichi said with a glum face as he thanked his mother. It seems he missed the point, though.

Actually, I was asking about you. Do you feel like youre about to come down with a cold?

Huh? Oh Umm, Ill be fine. Theres probably just someone somewhere talking about me.

He tried to smooth things over by laughing, albeit it was a bitter laugh. He really didnt have a cold, but for some reason, the faces of a certain princess and her maids appeared in his mind.

Though perhaps that was only because he couldnt think of anyone else who might be gossiping about him.

Well, alright. Where should we go next?

Lets see

As Shinichi moved the conversation along, he felt sorry for the people he knew back in that world.

In the end, he didnt explain anything to them and just left them to clean things up on their own.

Unfortunately, even though he had the method to travel between worlds, as well as the necessary mana (the Pupils of the Demon King), he didnt have the time.

With only one night of free time, if he were to travel between worlds and a time lag were to occur again, he wouldnt be able to explain himself. Even if statistically speaking the chance of any shifts happening was at most a month or less.

Yes.

Ahh, Uu.

For some reason, even Shinji joined them.

Only dad was left again?

Nobuhiko felt alienated and dropped his shoulders, but the situation has already started to move.

Rinko and Shinichi were quicker than anyone else to notice the two shadows moving.

Tch. Get out of the way!

The blond man running at the front brandished his knife while carrying a small feminine bag with him.

As the knife was brandished madly without any intentions of hitting anyone, screams resounded and a path was opened.

Ah, thats dangerous!

Please dont push!

The thieves were clearly headed this way, so without any opening, the crowd of people pushed toward the Nakamura Family in an attempt to get away.

Shinichi already had his hands full just trying to protect Shinji, so he couldnt move either.

But when he noticed the stun gun in the hands of the second thief, he clicked his tongue.

If you dont want to get hurt, then move!

Fortunately or unfortunately, without paying heed to whom that is exactly referring to, thanks to the threats of the man running ahead, the path was cleared enough for the Nakamura Family to free themselves from the crowd.

Move, woman!

The blonde man thrust out his knife toward Rinko to get her to move.

Youre in the way, brat!

While the man that was a few steps behind struck out with his stun gun toward Shinichi.

With a weapon in one hand and their spoils in the other, it was evident who these people were.

Yes. These people were none other than the thieves (the cause of this commotion).
