Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

The capital was a long distance from Bright Water City, so it would take several days of traveling to reach there.

During this trip, Shaka had at least planned out all the stops for us, so that we wouldn't be sleeping out in the open. Though this was more of a concern that I would escape more than a concern of comfort.

After all, in each town that we stopped in, the inn was already prepared for us. We didn't even need to check in or anything, we were allowed to head to the inn right away as if everything had been prepared ahead of time.

As for leaving the inn…other than to get some food, there were no outside trips.

It was just like being trapped in a prison.

Still, I had already expected this after seeing how he had gotten me to come on this trip in the first place.

It was clear that he had received some kind of separate order to bring me to the capital.

This just made me even more fearful of what would happen…

Just like this, we traveled over the course of several days, getting closer and closer to the capital.

But the closer that we came, the more nervous I felt because…I hadn't been able to think of a way to reject whatever was coming to me. The other side was the king, so there was nothing that I could say that would give me an excuse to reject whatever he wanted to give me.

The only possibility that I could think of was to accept it and then get involved in politics…

As I was feeling despair and we were getting closer to the capital, something happened before we reached the capital.

At the town right before reaching the capital, we met someone.

It wasn't anyone random, but rather someone that I knew quite well.

After all, this was the person that had dragged me into Shadow Garden in the first place.

It was our supervisor, Scar.

When we arrived at the inn for the night, he was waiting there with a big smile on his face. Seeing us coming over, he waved his hand at me, but I had different plans.

Without hesitation, I ran right at Scar and then jumped.

As I jumped, my knee came up so that I was flying at Scar with my knee out.

In my previous world, this move was called the flying knee!

But it was just too bad that there was a difference in physiques.

While I had been slowly training, Scar was someone who had been in Shadow Garden for a long time. He was someone who lived his life in danger, so of course he was skilled in avoiding said danger.

With a simple step, he moved out of the way of my flying knee and I landed on the ground.

Then he came up behind me and said with a smile while also reaching his hand out towards me, "What are you doing?"

I glared at him, but I still took the hand offered to me.

When I stood up, I patted the dust off my body before finally saying, "Why are you doing this to me? Didn't you say that you wouldn't interfere with my life?"

Scar gave a helpless smile as he spread his hands before saying, "It's not my fault. Even if I don't want to do this, I can't go against the order of his majesty."

I immediately knitted my brows when I heard this as he had just confirmed what I had suspected.

The only ones that could give this kind of order to bring me to the capital were the royal family. Based on what Scar had said, it was the king that gave the order to bring me here.

But why would the king be interested in someone like me?

For once, I didn't keep my thoughts in and asked Scar, "Why? Why would someone as important as the king be interested in someone like me?"

Scar raised one brow and asked, "Someone like you?" Then he looked at Shaka and the two of them broke out in laughter at the same time.

I couldn't help looking at both of them with a strange look as I couldn't understand what was happening.

Why would they suddenly laugh at something like this?

I didn't feel like I had said anything strange.

But I had to wait for the two of them to stop laughing before getting my answer.

As for the answer they gave me, it was more shocking than I thought.

After a while, the two of them stopped laughing. Scar wiped the tears from his eyes as he said, "Sorry, sorry, I wasn't laughing at you. I just found it funny that you weren't aware of your own importance."

I couldn't help feeling even more confused when I heard this.

After all, I didn't feel like I was that important.

When Scar saw the confused look on my face, he couldn't help feeling surprised. He kept looking at me with that strange surprised look as he said, "Do you really not know how important you are?"

I just slowly shook my head.

Scar once again burst into laughter when he saw this.

After a while, he calmed down and said, "You're someone that has already had four different encounters with demons since joining us, this is definitely a new record."

I couldn't help revealing a surprised look as I said, "But isn't that normal? Shadow Garden is an organization that protects the kingdom, so they should be encountering plenty of things like this. I feel that I'm quite normal."

Scar looked at me first before turning to look at Shaka, but Shaka just gave a helpless shake of his head like he was exasperated.

Then Scar turned back to look at me as he said, "Are you serious? Do you really think this?"

I just gave a simple nod before looking even more confused.
