This wasn’t just a matter of his physique or social status. Tachibana’s instincts informed him that something basic and primordial about this man, his very essence as a living being, was on a whole other level.

And him too...

He had witnessed Koichiro’s might during the incident in Beldzevia, but that was only one side of this man. As he pondered this, Koichiro spoke up.

“It’s been a long time, Officer Tachibana.”

“Yes. You saved my life back there.”

Koichiro stayed behind at the time to keep the Kingdom of Beldzevia from pursuing them. Tachibana had been suddenly thrown into another world and instantly cast into a scene of carnage. Usually, he’d have questioned the old man since he seemed the most knowledgeable. For the time being, he silenced his curiosity and thanked him instead—a show of his maturity.

“Ah, don’t mention it. You did help Asuka out a great deal, so thank you too,” said Koichiro.

Even if he was a police officer, no one would have faulted him for prioritizing his life here. Koichiro wasn’t so selfish as to take the fact Tachibana protected a girl who was summoned with him for granted.

The same was true of the young warlord. The intimidating air from earlier died down, and Ryoma rose from his seat.

“Yes, I ought to thank you. You have my deepest gratitude for protecting Asuka, Mr. Tachibana,” Ryoma said, bowing his head deeply to Tachibana.

Lione looked on in surprise, a faint smile on her lips, but didn’t say anything. Tachibana scratched his head, his expression awkward at seeing this young warlord bow his head to him.

I didn’t think he’d thank me so earnestly... I guess he is related to her.

Even as a police officer, he rarely saw someone thank him so earnestly. As Ryoma settled back into his seat, Tachibana got right to the point.

“I believe you already read Sir Rodney’s letter. Can you answer his suggestion?”

Ryoma looked at Koichiro briefly, then said, “I’ve read Lord Rodney’s letter, and I understand the situation.”

“Meaning?” Tachibana asked, confirming his intent.

Ryoma responded, “Yes... We must take Asuka under our wing urgently. Since this is a very selfish request on my behalf, I need your side’s help. Be aware that helping me could potentially endanger your position within the Church. It’s probably for the best if we discuss the danger involved first.”

Tachibana jerked his head in a nod. He knew full well what Ryoma was concerned about.

So it does come down to this. Like Menea thought.

Rodney initially thought it would be a simple matter of sending Asuka away, but Menea Norberg was much too jaded to believe it would be that easy. At worst, their actions could be considered treason against the Church.

When Menea gave Tachibana the horse that took him here, she had warned him about this possibility. To that end, she granted him free rein.

As such, Tachibana effortlessly said, “That’s fine. They have given me the right to decide on this matter.”

And they did so because this was the one way to save Asuka from fate’s unpredictability.
