《The One Who Knows the Truth of This World》
I’d decided to call her that.
Someone who knew that this was the world of the web novel that was popular in Japan, where I used to live—[The Rise of the Weakest Holy Swordsman].
Was she an enemy? Or an ally?
Depending on what she was… things could become very troublesome.
With anxiety filling up my heart, I kept on running.
The only clues I got were her waist-length black hair and her voice… well, I had to hear her voice to confirm that, so the only real clue I got was her long black hair.
That wasn’t going to be enough to find her… I couldn’t possibly blindly scour the whole capital and call out to every black-haired girl I see, could I?
However, she certainly didn’t resemble any characters I knew.
Just… who was she?
As I stopped, at a loss, at one corner in the main street…
“Barrett!”
I heard Tayte’s voice.
I turned around and found Tayte and Kleine desperately running towards me.
“Haa, haa, found you, finally…”
“You’re really… why did you just suddenly took off after saying you found a suspicious person?!”
“I… I’m sorry…”
I’d done it this time. I could only apologize.
Sure, if there was another person who knew the truth of this world, it was vital I understood them, their motive, and their goal.
But… I was now Barrett Albers.
The president of the Astor Academy student council and the first leader of the Knights of the Academy.
I shouldn’t forget my priorities and neglect the one truly precious to me.
“I’m sorry, Tayte… I…”
“I-it’s okay, never mind me! More importantly, did you find the suspicious person you mentioned earlier?”
“W-well… I lost sight of her.”
“You did? That’s rare of you.”
Could I take Kleine’s remark as her acknowledging my ability?
If I asked, she’d definitely deny, so I’d just keep it in my mind for now.
“Sorry I made you search around for me. Anyway, how about we head to the meeting place with the others? It’s about time.”
Before I knew it, it was fast approaching the meeting time.
–Or should I say, I’d forgotten the passage of time while trying to find the girl. Looking at the time, we might end up being late.
I should have thought a bit more before chasing after her.
Of course, I wouldn’t change my mind about finding out who she really was. This was a must.
In the end, although there were a series of troubles such as fights between drunkards and purse snatching, nothing serious happened thanks to the Knights of the Academy and the Royal Knights, and the birthday festival ended up without any notable incident.
“It’s a shame we didn’t get to enjoy the festival.”
“But I had fun.”
“Hey, we were there for security, not for fun—I had fun too, though.”
On the way back, Jarvis, Raul, and Andrei were looking back on the day happily.
“We have the ball coming up next, right?”
“Yeah. But I think there we can have fun with other students, not so busy like today.”
“I’m looking forward to it!”
Madeline, Kleine, and Tayte had already turned their attention to the next school ball.
…All of them had joyful looks on their faces.
That was a sight you couldn’t see in the original story.
If that girl who knew the truth of this world was intending to destroy all this… When that thought surfaced in my mind, I reached out and held the hilt of the Holy Sword on my waist.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
