TSRTOW Chapter 34.1 : The Bud of Suspicion Became a Great Tree

 Translated by Shufen

Unedited. Sorry

The day of the visit came earlier than I expected.

Ordias-san, who seems to be unmotivated, works quickly.

I was instructed to go around lunchtime so I asked for a day off from work before I made my way to the royal palace.

The place I headed for was the usual magic lab. Since I’m a commoner, I can’t directly walk into Hamuti-sama’s office. I plan to meet up with Ordias-san at the magic lab and we’ll make our way over together as we did before.

Ordias-san still seemed hesitant in going with me.

I don’t know how much information he shared with Hamuti-sama. Maybe Ordias-san really doesn’t know anything. I thought about it but it’s something I can’t help thinking of. Now I just want to focus on meeting with Hamuti-sama.

“Let’s go.” (Ordias)

While I was thinking, Ordias-san grabbed my arm before I was ready, my vision distorted.
There was no way to prepare for the sudden dizziness. The scenery before me completely changed.

-- It’s the waiting room in front of Hamuti-sama’s office.

The teleportation technique isn’t something that I can become accustomed to no matter how many times I’ve experienced it but it must be convenient to be able to teleport instantly. I thought of this with my head swaying.

“I’m not allowed to attending this meeting.” (Ordias)
Ordias-san suddenly spoke to me while I was looking around the flashy waiting room. I look at him startled.

“Do you know what that means?” (Ordias)
“Umm... “ (Haruka)
No, I don’t understand. I couldn’t wrap my head around that abrupt question. Ordias-san signed as if he was in front of a bad student.

“Hamuti-sama wants to see you without someone else there to protect you. In other words, it means your fears won’t be far off. Be careful.” (Ordias)

So that’s it.

I mean, it’s terrifying to be warned about that now.

But -- there’s no helping that now.

I can’t turn around now.

One deep breath.

Okay, I’m ready. 

I nervously lift my hand and knock on the door to the office.

“Ah, Harutia-sama! … Please come in.” (Hamuti)

After a breath, Hamuti-sama’s replied.

Ah, I remember this feeling.

The fear and tension I feel right now are similar to being called to the teacher’s office by an extremely strict teacher at school. I’m afraid to step but I know I have to.

It’s a strange feeling.

I’ve never thought of a scenario from the past to match up with my current situation here.

I finally open the frightening door.

What would be my first word? Well I should first thank him for allowing me this time. Then I will ask him to update me on what’s going on.

I look into the room with a lot of tension in my mind.

I forgot everything I was going to say before I screamed.

In the office, Hamuti-sama sits behind his large desk as usual.

And-- there is a young man behind him.

Ars-san.

Translator's Note

Sorry about the chapter being a day late. The chapter is longer than I anticipated and didn't want to cut it short in a bad place.

It's pretty funny how Haruka compared going into Hamuti's office to her time as a student going to the teacher's office.
