CH 68

Chapter 68 – Battleship of the Dvorak Empire

Before I knew it, I fell asleep and woke up to the morning.

Come to think of it, I feel like I slept with Skor last night… Yeah, it wasn’t a dream. Skor is next to me. She seemed to have already been awake, staring at me intently.

“G-Good morning, Skor.”

“Good morning, Rasty-san.”

“Were you staring at me the whole time?”

“Y-yes… I mean, Rasty-san’s sleeping face is cute.”

It was the first time someone said something like that to me.

I’m kind of embarrassed.

This is not good, my head is spinning and I can’t keep up with the processing. At this rate, I’m afraid I’m going to become a useless person.

“For now, let’s have breakfast. And then… hmm”

“Why do you have such a scary expression?”

No, I felt a sense of unease. This is the presence of an intruder.

“Huh…”

I’ve felt this before.

That was when Johannes came to this island. According to Havamar, I seem to have that kind of sensing ability. That much is certain.

I hurriedly left the room, and Alfred was standing there with a grim expression.

“Good morning, Rasty-sama. I have something to inform you right away. There’s a sense of unease in the air. It’s probably an intruder.”

It must be Alfred’s intuition as a Holy Knight. If that’s the case, then it must be true.

“Alfred, if something happens, I’ll entrust Skor to you.”

“Understood. However, protecting Rasty-sama is also my duty. Please keep that in mind.”

I know.

We’ve been together for over ten years, and I understand what Alfred wants to say. But I must always be prepared for the unexpected. As the owner of the island.

I went downstairs and meet Havamar.

I held her against my chest.

“Nya!? Big Brother, what are you doing all of a sudden…!”

“This place might be dangerous.”

“Ah… an intruder, huh? It’s probably the previous Holy Knight. He seems to come back every now and then. Or rather, didn’t big brother repel him last night?”

“Huh? I repel him?”

What is she talking about? Speaking of last night, all I did was test out “Thunder Break” and “Golden Broom Goltblum”. I don’t remember anything like that.

“Well, whatever. We’re heading to the beach, right?”

“Yeah, we’re all going together… Ah, Strelka is on the ship, I wonder if she will be okay.”

“If you’re worried, shall I go check?”

As I was pondering what to do, the front door opened.

“I apologize for the intrusion!”

“S-Strelka! What happened?”

“It’s terrible! A battleship of the ‘Dvorak Empire’ has attacked this island… It’s probably the ‘Leopold Knights’.”

They’ve finally come, the Leopold Knights. The one on the ship is probably the Knight Commander. Or maybe the Vice Commander. Either way, they’re nothing but a threat.

If we don’t do anything and just stay here, we’ll be done for… If we’re not careful, our life on this uninhabited island will be over. So I have to make up my minds.

“Strelka, I have a request.”

“Yes, what is it?”

“I’ll rely on you for Skor and Havamar. Alfred and I will face them.”

Upon hearing this, both of them refused.

“No, I won’t allow it. I will fight too.”

“I also agree with Skor. Turning our backs to the enemy is synonymous with defeat. We must all work together to protect this island.”

Their serious gaze instantly changed my timid feelings. That’s right, that’s how it should be. Now is the time to unite our strength.

I believe in my Uninhabited Island Development Skill and my companions――
