Returning From The Magic World



Arthur didn't answer Yukiko's question, he focused on the cell phone.

It didn't take long before his video call was received.

Maybe it was because the recipient thought it was Yukiko calling her.

The screen changed, showing a beautiful woman who was probably Amanda's age.

She had her black hair in a neat bun, wearing a black kimono dress with only the top part visible.

Her skin was not as white as Yukiko's, it was slightly tanned, like she had been exposed to the sun a lot.

Her face had an inverted diamond shape while her lips were quite medium, not small but not too wide either.

At a glance, she looked more like a Japanese woman of the ancient era compared to the modern era.

Currently, she is in a bedroom made entirely of wood, and she is probably standing in front of the window.

Her eyebrows shot up when all she saw appearing on camera was a male figure while her sister was sitting at the back, looking messy, which she could immediately deduce that she had just lost a fight.

Yukiko only dared to stare at the phone screen for a moment, she hastily averted her gaze when she saw her sister's gaze on her.

"You made trouble again and now you've met an enemy you can't handle, wait for me to finish talking, and I'll give you your punishment." The woman said.

When she heard about the punishment, Yukiko couldn't help but tremble.

The first princess, Ayumi, although rarely seen in public, but she would be the next ruler of the Japanese Empire. Even now she has great authority.

Coupled with her influence, there was practically no one who could refuse her words among the Japanese officials.

When she talks about punishment, Yukiko will definitely have to undergo it unless she wants to be considered a traitor.

However, despite her various shortcomings, Yukiko was still a princess of Japan. Everyone knows that it's a country where people are not afraid of punishment. And in fact, there are quite a few people there who punish themselves for their mistakes.

Yukiko would naturally not resist the punishment given to her.

She chose to remain silent.

Ayumi then looked at Arthur.

Her eyes glowed for a moment, and despite only seeing her through the screen of a cell phone, Arthur couldn't help but feel some kind of great power. This shouldn't happen unless the person in question is so powerful that its image seems to have an influence of its own.

"Senior Knight huh, interesting, finally there is a strong figure," he said in a low voice.

Ayumi was surprised to hear that, she didn't expect Arthur to be able to immediately estimate her strength.

Plus, he had knowledge of the actual name of her power stage because their circles usually referred to that stage as King.

This made her immediately conclude that Arthur was indeed someone dangerous, no wonder her sister lost.

Then, she replied with a gentle but as if hiding momentum, "I'm actually a Samurai, so it's more suitable if you call me Senior Samurai."

"What's the difference with Knight, it's its real name," Arthur replied.

"No, it's different, Knight is Knight while Samurai is Samurai, same for Ninja. Both are specialized paths created by our ancestors in a distant ancient era."

It was actually just a kind of nonsense for people who wanted to be regarded as the creators of a new path.

Of course, it was not wrong to have such a desire, but on average most were just making slight changes to an existing path. Although different, the basics are still the same.

Arthur wasn't interested in talking about it to a woman who had only inherited ancient remnants, he said, "I called to tell you that your sister tried to kidnap a woman in order to obtain the secrets of the products sold by that woman's company. I happened to be with her when your sister launched the attack. If I hadn't been here, I'm afraid something bad would have happened to that woman."

When Ayumi heard all that, her eyebrows shot up again.

And she immediately looked at Yukiko once again.

"I've told you many times that you shouldn't think of everyone the same. The west is indeed our enemy, but don't consider all westerners as enemies. Do you still not understand that simple logic?" Her tone was a bit cold this time so Yukiko had to press her lips together.

"Your punishment will be more severe," Ayumi added.

After that, she said to Arthur, "Please forgive us! We are ready to take responsibility for the damage. You can submit a request to compensate for your losses."

Arthur was a little surprised that she would go that far.

He had only expected someone more mature to speak up, but it seemed that this first princess also had high morality.

"I didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to, yeah, I think Japan can really rise again when you're at the helm. Well, I'm not going to be polite, I want the gold paper with the ancient inscription in your imperial palace. Just take a picture of it and send the picture to me."

"You know about it? Can you read it?" Ayumi was surprised by Arthur's request.

eαgles`c,om Arthur only smiled in response.

"It doesn't matter, does it, if I ask for it?" he asked.

"No problem, it's just a dusty piece of paper, I don't feel comfortable if this is considered our compensation, you can ask for something else."

"I don't really have a desire for anything other than that, but well, I'm quite interested in the history of your country, like why your ninjas and samurai disappeared during the Second World War?"

Arthur's answer made Ayumi's face freeze.

At the same time, Arthur added, "It just so happens that the God Eye Organization is also in conflict with me, and it keeps widening, I was thinking I could learn more about them from your country's history."

"So you are also in conflict with them? Mmnn, no wonder, you're a westerner, after all. There's no way they'd let another tiger in their territory. By the way, may I know your name first, and ask for your phone number, I'm sure we can communicate more easily after that."

From her expression, she seemed to be getting more and more interested and curious about Arthur.

The latter smiled as he replied, "Arthur!"

He then told her his phone number.

It was probably just like he had told Yukiko that he and Japan could be friends as long as there was a reason.

This did not mean he was worried about moving alone, but when fighting an enemy whose strength was unknown, it was better to know more information.

After saving Arthur's cell phone number in her cell phone, Ayumi said, "I actually received an invitation to visit an arms exhibition that will be held in Paris. I wasn't interested before, but I think it's better if we meet in person, how about we meet there."

"Oh!" Arthur smiled strangely at that.

"Sure, that's not bad, I just happen to want to go there too," he replied.

"Great, we'll talk there!"

Ayumi looked pleased. Obviously she was also considering various things but it would be difficult for her to make a decision without meeting Arthur in person.

First of course to find out how strong he was, and then to find out what kind of person he was.

That would determine how their relationship would go afterward.

Of course, if we talk about strength, Arthur is currently weaker than Ayumi. He would lose in no time unless he relied on some things that would adversely affect him himself.

However, that didn't worry Arthur.

Tonight, he planned to start the breakthrough to the next stage by relying on the bird feather he got from those mafia, so the day when he met Ayumi, he might be stronger than her.

After that, Ayumi looked at Yukiko again.

"I've decided on your punishment, from this moment on, you must follow Arthur, and become his servant for one month," she told her.

Yukiko who was ready to accept any punishment opened her mouth because of that punishment.

However, before she could complain or ask for another punishment, Ayumi added, "do what you need to do for your country. Remember what you were born for and given the gifts for!"

Ayumi's tone was so firm that Yukiko immediately bowed her head.

"I accept this punishment," she said.

She looked at Arthur and said, "Sir, please forgive my previous mistake, I will repay it by helping you."

How quickly her demeanor changed made Arthur blink his eyes. He actually found seriousness whether it was from Yukiko's words or expression, as if she fully recognized her mistake and even accepted the punishment without complaint.

He wondered what exactly was hidden in the genetics of the Japanese that they had some traits that were so unique.

For the sake of country and rules, even a Yukiko could change.

The video call ended there, and after that, Arthur's cell phone rang, signaling an incoming message.

Arthur checked it and found a message from an unfamiliar number, obviously Ayumi's.

The message contained a picture and a sentence.

(I look forward to our meeting, greetings from Yamato Ayumi!)

Her kind words made Arthur smile.

He felt quite impressed with the woman.

Overall, she gave the impression of a virtuous princess.
