Chapter 12: The Journey to the Imperial Capital

“Nice to meetcha! I’m Mitarai Aoi. In the exploration team, they call me the Stalwart Snow White. I hope we can get along!”

With exaggerated mannerisms, the girl smiled sweetly and bowed. She looked extremely cheerful, as if her small frame was bursting with energy.

“A-Aoi? Really...?” cried Katou, still in Mitarai’s arms. Her eyes were wide as she stared at Mitarai, who looked as if she was going to rub her cheek against Katou. “What are you doing here?”

“Isn’t it obvious? I came to see you, Mana!” Mitarai answered cheerfully, squealing in glee as she hopped up and down, still holding on to Katou all the while.

I could tell how happy she was, but nothing else made sense. I gave Iino another look, and she obliged me with an explanation.

“Before coming to this world, Aoi was apparently Katou’s close friend. I told Aoi some time back that Katou was in Aker, and she’s been thinking about Katou ever since.”

“That’s basically it!” Having finally calmed down, Mitarai joined our conversation and raised her hand, her other hand still holding Katou. “I was so worried, but Aker’s, like, super far away, so I couldn’t really come here. That’s when Yuna-senpai came back from her world tour.”

“She’s referring to when I returned to the exploration team with information about your conflict with the Maclaurin Provincial Army,” Iino supplemented. “When I reported to our leader, he decided to protest the margrave’s actions...and Aoi was his strongest supporter. And then...”

“I asked a huge favor and made them bring me along!”

“She was being unreasonable, and we ended up having to bring her along,” Shimazu said, sighing deeply. She’d been the one responsible for teleporting them with her power. “I told her it’d increase the burden on me. I swear, this girl...”

Despite saying that, Shimazu had brought Mitarai along anyway, so they were probably good friends. Honestly, I didn’t like the idea of someone being here when they weren’t part of the plan, but when Shimazu was cooperating out of good will, I couldn’t really object. Well, she was Katou’s friend too, so there was no point complaining. I came to grips with the situation.

Next, we had to get our original plan underway, so I decided to ask Iino and Shimazu about the news they’d brought back from the Empire. That said, if things weren’t going well, it would’ve shown in their attitudes, so I expected good news.

There was no reason to stand around out here, so we moved to my room to hear them out. On our way there, Mitarai joyfully talked to Katou the whole time. She was in high spirits from speaking with her friend after so long. Katou had been taken aback at first, but she also looked to be enjoying herself now. I was glad to see her like this too, and I knew now that it wasn’t simply because she was an “important companion,” thanks to my conversation with Shiran.

I had much to consider with
