Travel to another world and continue to be a boxer
Chapter 30: Marquis Asedgorn
"Tell me, how old is Ye Kai?"
"Sixteen, sister."
Eleanor forced Ye Kai to treat her as a sister.
She asked for almost nothing, but this was the only thing she refused to give in. She was only eighteen years old, so there was nothing wrong with calling her sister, but this was when Ye Kai was not yet able to tell her how old he was, so she might have some kind of obsession.
The name "sister" came to Ye Kai when he decided to combine the words "Eleanor" and "sister" to call her, but he accidentally said "Sister Eleanor" because his memory of the other words caught up.
"That's fine. No, this is better."
For Ye Kai, since he already knew that she was a noble lady in this world, he thought he should avoid using such intimate names, but this could not be changed. Unable to appease her unhappy "sister", Ye Kai had no other choice.
Eleanor seemed very satisfied when she heard Ye Kai asking about her age while flipping through the encyclopedia.
Although she has an elder brother, she does not have more siblings. She may be longing for someone who needs her protection. If it is just to satisfy her desire for protection, Ye Kai does not mind going along with it.
"Father wants to talk to you when he has time, is that ok? You won't be scared, will you? It would be better if I accompany you, right?"
"Well, no problem. Since the Marquis has taken so much care of me, I should express my gratitude in person. Please tell him to call me over when it is convenient."
Her cheeks puffed slightly at his cold response.
But, obviously, she couldn't be too tough in front of her father. Eleanor seemed very frustrated by the fact that she might not be able to help even if she was there.
--------------
Although the meeting with the busy Glaud had been postponed, it finally happened on a sunny afternoon.
He looked quite young, with an ambitious glow on his face, and gave people a neat impression. Ye Kai felt that he must have been very popular when he was young.
“I’m Graud Asedgorn. Are you Ye Kai?”
Although the black-haired boy in front of him looked good, he didn't have any special features.
To them, his face gave a rather plain impression, but they remembered that once when he was talking and laughing with Eleanor, it was indeed a very pleasant smile.
"Yes, my name is Ye Kai, Lord Marquis."
"Well, where are you from?"
Before the meeting, Ye Kai decided not to say that he was from another world. He gave his prepared answer: "There are some reasons that I can't tell you. Can you accept this answer?"
"oh?"
He also considered making up a lie, but with his limited knowledge, it would be quickly exposed in front of this shrewd politician. So he prepared such an answer to keep it secret.
"If that's the case, I'll have to consider you a spy and detain you. Although I don't want to upset Eleanor."
“…Indeed, this is what a normal person would think. But I did not harm the lady, nor did I intend to bring any harm to the country. I know this is difficult, but I can only say that I hope you can believe me.”
Glaud thought the boy was really brave. Although he re-evaluated the boy, his position did not allow him to give up.
"I still lack some evidence to believe you, Ye Kai. My family has already questioned you. Not only do you not understand our language, you also use a different language, right? This is impossible..."
Glaud said that there are no different languages anywhere in the world... It doesn't exist. This doesn't mean that the languages have been eliminated or unified, but that they have never existed since ancient times.
This is the result of the formation of this world, humans and magic have evolved together. It is impossible for there to be two languages as the medium of magic...
Magic that can act on the laws of the world and produce phenomena. It is impossible to talk to the world in multiple languages. In theory, magic can only be expressed through one rule.
In terms of sound, it is the language they are using now. In terms of writing, it is the so-called magic text. Only in these two ways can magic show its effects in the world.
The written script for magic words was developed later, and if used frequently, it could cause instability.
This information shocked Ye Kai. He thought he could pretend to be a foreigner because it was common sense in his world. If that was the case, Ye Kai looked very suspicious. It seemed that he had no choice but to give up.
"This... I don't know if you will believe it..."
He opened with this, and then told his story. He was born in a different world from this one. It seemed that he had mistakenly entered this world at some point. In his journey to survive, he accidentally encountered the danger of Graud's daughter. And this is where he is now.
This time, it was Glaud who was shocked.
Indeed, if this is true, everything makes sense. But is such a thing really possible? We need some convincing evidence. This is what Glaude thought.
Ye Kai responded to this request.
He took out a small board from the "warehouse" and showed it to Glaud. Then he operated it, and the pictures on the surface of the board began to change rapidly, making sounds, and the dynamic images moved like cut-out scenery.
Such a thing cannot be done by any magic tool. Ye Kai said that it was produced by the technology called "science" in his world. He said that there was no magic involved.
This was a fact that had to be acknowledged. Glaud had to accept Ye Kai's reason for wanting to keep this secret. Because it was too different from what they knew, ordinary people might not be able to understand it.
"I am showing it to you because I think you, as a distinguished Marquis, can understand it. But I think this technology is dangerous in this world. Can you keep it secret?"
Now he finally understood why Eleanor had always insisted that Ye Kai was smart.
With such a secret, Ye Kai has been trying to adapt to this world. What kind of harsh experience would this be? For ordinary people, the collapse of common sense may lead them to give up on themselves.
"...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pushed you. But I've been worried about you being around Eleanor."
“I understand how you feel. It’s natural as a parent, right? To want to monitor.”
"do you know?"
"Yes, but if this can allay the Marquis's doubts, I don't think I mind at all."
After hearing Ye Kai's mature answer, Glaud did change his mind this time and decided that he must trust him.
"I will guarantee your identity as your guarantor. You can move freely. If possible, please stay with Eleanor. She will be very happy."
"Yes, thank you for your generosity. Then, sister...can I tell Lady Eleanor that I am from another world? To repay her kindness."
"Ah, please do so. By the way, let's have dinner together tonight. We can talk about it later."
In this way, Ye Kai gained his status and freedom in this strange world.
