Another World Escape Ninja - Another World Escape Ninja chapter 80

80 – Episode 80. Transdimensional Runaway Ninja (5) [完]

On the sports field of Siliburn Boarding School, famous for its prestigious reputation, two girls sat on a mat and engaged in conversation.

One had blue eyes and hair, while the other was a blonde girl.

“I feel like we’re on a picnic. It’s so nice.”

“I’m glad.”

“Oh, Orphe Unni, try this!”

The blonde girl, Diana, opened a bag and held up a small cookie with a rabbit drawing on it.

“It’s pretty. Did you learn this from the new teacher too?”

Orphe, a woman with blue eyes, raised the cookie slightly after receiving it.

“Yes! You really know a lot. I’m learning to make candy too, and it’s really fun. I hope I can make bread, cookies, and candies all beautifully.”

Orphe put the cookie that Diana, who was excited, had stroked on her head into her mouth.

After savoring the taste for a short time, she opened her mouth again.

“Mm, it’s delicious. I could be a baker now.”

“Really? What score would you give it?”

Orphe smiled at the sight of the young girl’s shining eyes.

“100 points.”

The divine Ma Tapju died, and the Red Whale Ma Tap crumbled.

All the nobles of the Irugal Kingdom were captured, and the forces that joined hands with the Red Whale Ma Tap faced severe punishment.

The streetlights that could expel the overseers remained as they were, with their brainwashing ultrasound function removed.

It was a time when children could smile without shadows.

“Wow, you’re not lying, right?”

“You know. I’m not good at lying.”

There was a man who believed that everyone should have dreams.

Because he believed that people should have big and clear goals, he dreamed of becoming the strongest on Earth.

But it was an unclear dream. The man himself didn’t know what it meant to be the strongest on Earth.

By chance, he came across an amateur comic and realized what it meant to be the strongest on Earth.

The strongest on Earth in that comic was a good person who protected the weak and kind-hearted, despite having powerful strength.

A man who climbed the ninja village.

Not a lord, but a servant of the people.

The embodiment of silence and the symbol of fear.

The man was called the runaway ninja, the strongest being on earth.

“It’s getting dark. Shall we go in?”

“Yes!”

Orphe held Diana’s hand and walked towards the school dormitory.

It had been two years since the day the man called the runaway ninja fell into a deep sleep.

A mansion deep in the mountains.

“Oh, miss, you’ve arrived.”

A middle-aged maid welcomed Orphe, who had entered the place.

“You didn’t have to come all the way here to greet me.”

“Oh, no, it’s the least I can do. I have to keep my dignity.”

Orphe nodded at the maid, who smiled kindly, and entered the house.

A quiet mansion that was inconspicuous in the eyes of the world, hidden in a place where people’s gaze couldn’t reach.

It was the house Orphe personally chose, rejecting the proposals of those who wanted to make her a queen.

There wasn’t much reason for refusing the throne.

She simply didn’t enjoy making important decisions standing above others.

She believed that someone better should take on that role.

“You’ve worked hard. Now take a rest.”

“I’ve heated up the bathwater, so feel free to take a dip whenever you have time.”

“Thank you.”

Orphe expressed his gratitude to the maid briefly and entered the corridor.

In the middle of the corridor, there was a large wolf head hanging.

It wasn’t an ordinary wolf, but a stuffed decoration made from killing monsters.

To be more precise, it was the head of Veldegard Samucheo, a hybrid of the underworld and monsters, and a royal assassin.

Although it had been overshadowed by Robin’s adventures and insane actions, Orphe was also an incredibly cruel person to his enemies.

According to Veldegard, who was treated as a stuffed decoration like a beast, Orphe’s revenge was the best he could give, which included killing his five-year-old sister and his family and shamelessly laughing about it.

“I’m here.”

Orphe, dressed lightly, opened the black door and entered.

On the right side of the room, there was a bookshelf with several books, and on the left side, there were well-maintained equipment that Robin used to use.

“Robin.”

A man was lying on the bed located in the center.

The bed on which the man lay was covered in various magic circles, and vials filled with nutrients were stacked in the corner, ready to be injected into his veins.

The man’s name was Robin.

He was known in the world as the runaway ninja, and he was the person Orphe loved.

“How was your day today?”

Orphe approached cautiously and placed his hand on Robin’s forehead.

It was a daily check-up.

“It’s okay.”

Orphe lowered his hand and sat on the chair in front of the bed.

“I met Diana today. She’s doing well. She seems to be getting prettier as time goes by. She’s receiving a lot of love.”

…”

Of course, there was no response.

“The newly appointed teacher seems to be very skilled. Not only bread, but also candies and cookies. Diana really likes them. Other students think highly of the teacher too. It seems like they have a good reputation.”

…”

“…Can I talk about Trebor after a long time? I didn’t do it because I thought you wouldn’t like it, but we’re friends after all. He helped a lot in protecting you when you were fighting with the overseers and in the spiritual world. We don’t have to be close, but it would be nice to treat him a little more gently.”

…”

“I mentioned it briefly before, do you remember? Trebor left to break the curse of the overseers. We haven’t been in touch since then.”

…”

“At that time, Trebor asked me to go with him, but I refused. Yes, it’s because of you.”

…”

“A few months ago, I received a message. Yes, this is it.”

Orphe raised the necklace of Raminah, which also served as a communication device for the Gogmagog.

“He said he found other Gogmagogs in the Kingdom of Koremgald. He said he was in an unstable state of memory, just like Trebor when we first met. He said it’s because too much time has passed.”

…”

“Gogmagogs of the same kind are gathering there and interpreting the curse-breaking method that the Red Whale Matapju was researching. Once the interpretation is complete, we should call Ork, Heiner, and Babylusa not monsters, but beings from another dimension.”

…”

“Adventurers like Bonita, Gina, and Saiten may lose their jobs. Saiten recently became the director in the city of artists, Lenghel. If I tell him this news, he might faint.”

“…”

“I suppose Bonita doesn’t think highly of me either. After all, she lost her family because of the monsters. She probably can’t accept the fact that the monsters are beings from another realm.”

“…”

Orpheus, who had been observing Robin, suddenly burst out laughing.

“Come to think of it, I’m half a being from another realm too. Did you know that? I genuinely had no idea. I heard the story that the first king of Irigal Kingdom married an ancient warrior, but I just thought it was a tale made up to legitimize the royal family. I never thought it could actually be true.”

“…”

“Yeah. I know. You probably don’t care. You still don’t know if I’m of royal blood or not. I just stayed quiet because you didn’t seem curious. I thought it would create distance between us.”

“…”

“Robin.”

“…”

“Robin, can you hear my voice?”

Orpheus gently clenched Robin’s hand.

“…”

“You’re listening, right? Right?”

“…”

“…You know, I won’t give up. I’ve done everything I set my mind to. I escaped from Sagal’s grasp, I learned how to fight from you, and I even killed my enemy, Veldegard, with my own hands.”

Her eyes welled up with tears.

“…”

“So don’t you give up either. You’ve come this far, haven’t you?”

Orpheus, wiping away her tears, stood up from her seat.

“I’ll read you a novel tomorrow. I’m not sure if you’ll like it, but it’s one that I found interesting recently.”

After tidying up the room, she turned off the lights and grabbed the doorknob.

“…”

That strange feeling came over her at that moment.

The regular sound of breathing seemed to have stopped.

Orphe slowly turned his body and checked the bed where Robin was lying.

“Orphe.”

He was looking at her, half sitting up.

“I don’t like novels.”

“Ah…!”

It was true that when you’re too startled, you can’t speak.

Orphe’s mouth, once opened, remained shut.

“And.”

Robin looked at her with indifferent eyes.

“You talk too much, too.”

“Robin!”

Orphe, who had returned, pulled Robin tightly.

Robin, who had become frail, couldn’t even resist and ended up lying down again.

“Nouvelle-Pierre.”

“…Hmm?”

Strange words came out of his mouth.

“These are the last remaining great Five Spirits. I absorbed the Thousand Demon Monica Soberin and found out where he is.”

“Oh, really?”

Robin slowly examined Orphe’s face.

“You seem different. How much time has passed?”

“…Two years.”

“What? That f*cking Monica…!”

Robin suddenly burst into anger and coughed before speaking again.

“Nouvelle-Pierre, that guy is hiding in the Watcher’s Gorge, gathering strength. It’s been two years, so he must have gotten stronger. Let’s loosen up a bit and go catch him.”

“Is that so?”

“Do you want to go together?”

Orphe’s round eyes met Robin’s indifferent eyes.

Even after two years, Robin was still the same.

“Of course.”

Orphe smiled beautifully.
