Returned from Another World, Earth Turned Out to Be Quite the Fantasy Too. Also, Losing Heroines, Stop Looking This Way. - Chapter 13

Chapter 13: “If you have business with me, shouldn’t you be the one to come here?” ②

“You can’t be serious. A mere rogue psychic dares to tell the head of the Minazuki family to come to him?”

“Eh? But it’s you who needs something, right? I don’t need anything.”

“…A rogue psychic dares to defy our family? Do you know what happens to those who oppose us?”

“I don’t know, and frankly, I don’t care.”

(Well, this was expected.)

Even anticipating Miyako’s reaction, Natsuki had no intention of complying. 

He had just been told by Chief Aoyama to keep out of trouble, so he didn’t want to get involved with psychics, especially those from a troublesome family. 

Besides, he was already irritated that his former stepsister had suddenly approached him. He didn’t want to deal with someone who insisted he come to them when they were the ones with a need, only to become even more displeased.

From Natsuki’s experience, those who talk down to others are rarely good people. 

The people in the other world mostly spoke like Miyako. No, they were even worse. And their personalities and morals were irredeemably rotten.

“―Hmph, fine.”

“Heh.”

He had expected her to explode in anger, but it seemed she had some control over her emotions. 

As Natsuki genuinely admired this, she quietly increased her spiritual power.

“You might think you’re powerful as a stray, but there are always higher powers. If you don’t want to learn this the hard way, you’d better obey.”

“Whatever.”

“Don’t mock me!”

“If you want to fight, I’ll fight you. But don’t regret it later.”

It’s not a threat. Natsuki Yura is fundamentally a calm person. 

He dislikes pain and has no interest in causing pain to others.

However, he absolutely despises those who speak down to others and those who are selfish, unconcerned with anyone else’s circumstances.

In the other world, he had knocked down all the arrogant ones and subdued them by force. 

He has no intention of causing trouble in Japan, but he will not show mercy to anyone who disturbs the peace he has finally regained.

(I won’t kill… but honestly, I’m a bit excited to see what these fantasy-types here can do.)

The police officers involved with spiritual abilities in this world were terrified of Natsuki’s power. However, Miyako was not only unafraid but even seemed eager to fight. She must be very confident in her own abilities.

He couldn’t sense much power from her, but he did detect the presence of spiritual energy. 

It was different from the magical power Natsuki possessed, a more transparent and pure energy.

It’s hard to explain, but intuitively, it seems like both magic and spirit power are forms of life force, but their qualities are different. 

It’s just a vague feeling of “somewhat different.”

(Setting aside the difference between spiritual and magical power, I don’t feel much strength from this girl. Maybe at most, she’s like a court magician from the other world? But then, the people over there were incredibly weak…)

He was uncertain whether to be expectant or not. 

Meanwhile, Miyako continued to increase her power, and then something changed.

“Very well. Then, make sure you don’t complain when you get hurt.”

“Seeing your attitude, I wonder if you ever intended to have a discussion in the first place.”

“I have no business with you! I am merely following the orders of my mother, the head of the Minazuki family!”

(So her mother is the head of the Minazuki family… Should I avoid killing her then? Just to be safe. In the worst case, if we end up clashing as enemies, I can always take them all out.)

While Natsuki was pondering somewhat dangerous thoughts, Miyako drew a single sword from thin air.

It was different from Natsuki’s item box. 

It didn’t seem like she took out the sword, but more like she summoned it.

(Wow! This sword seems to have more power than the girl herself!)

“I’ll give you some friendly advice: it’s better to surrender sooner rather than later.”

“Ah, yeah. Thanks.”

“Don’t underestimate me!”

Provoked by Natsuki, Miyako kicked off the ground.

Clutching the sword in one hand, she powerfully stepped forward, clearly intending to strike from above in one swift move.

(Yeah, that’s a pretty good strike. Alright, I’ll respond with a sword too!)

Natsuki then casually took out a magic sword from his item box and, unlike Miyako’s methodical approach, simply swung the sword in his right hand without any particular form.

― In the next moment, the magic sword, charged with magical power, bisected both Miyako’s sword and her torso.
