chapter 240.3 - the chosen trio
souma-kun looked at everyone and bowed in apology.
though he expressed his selfish opinion in this regard, no one cursed at him seeing he was truly sincere with his apology.
「please allow sakura to escape from this dungeon. instead, i'll bet my life to protect you all.」
i wonder what would happen if at this point i were to say that souma-kun was the 3rd person.
i kinda wanted to say it, but i had to endure it since i might be killed for real if i spout such joke at this kind of time.
「there, there, since souma-kun's going as far as saying that, it should be fine, right?」
「 yeah.」
「yup.」
since the biggest troublemaker, totem pole trio forgave him, no one particularly complained about this.
「this is also my request. i believe that these two are the right people in this situation, and we can rely on souma-kun's protection during our lengthy escape.」
「i also agree.」
「m-me too!」
「i feel at ease since souma is left behind. i have no opposition in this regard.」
「kotori agrees with this.」
even the members of souma's harem voiced their agreement one after another.
uhm, i guess this situation is also convenient for them since their strongest rival, sakura-chan will be gone with this.
「what are you grinning about, momokawa?」
「well, i just feel happy that everyone is agreeing to my suggestion.」
that's just how delightful this situation is, randou-san. there was no way i wouldn't feel elated when everyone was agreeing with me.
「then, since sakura filled the second slot... who is the last person?」
「shimokawa-kun.」
「shimokawa!」
「this traitor!」
「wa-wait a second, i'm like the worst possible choice ri~ght!?」
woops, the last chosen one got backstabbed by ueda and nakai immediately. what a good friend they are!
「oi, it's shimokawa you know?」
「are you sure that this guy is the right choice?」
even jurymary were complaining about this.
and i understand souma-kun's worry about being only able to send three people.
the other also expressed their worry, albeit not as vocal as souma-kun.
「rest assured everyone. i'll accompany them as the fourth person.」
it was already proven that my 『twin shadow』 could ride teleportation magic and could still be controlled by me.
this was a proof that the communication wouldn't be interrupted regardless of the distance thanks to the 『twin shadow』.
thus, i would include my offshoot into the 『heavenly gate』 as the phantom 4th member.
it was a loophole in the rule since skill didn't count as human. it was recognized as something like magic.
teleportation magic was definitely not a method to send a killing machine from the future to the past that only sent them naked. we will also sent the necessary equipment with them and something like rem along as well.
there was plenty enough possibility since there was no problem in sending my offshoot.
and then, as long as my 『twin shadow』 was in astria kingdom, i myself could know the real-time situation outside this dungeon.
at this point, i had no problem with moving my real body and shadow at the same time. as long as it wasn't during the battle, i could see, hear, and talk as much as i wanted.
in fact, this was the loophole in the rule to send in the 4th person that shouldn't be possible according to the ruler and to communicate with each other... yes, it's something only possible using the 『twin shadow』.
「i see... well, if momokawa is coming along.」
「yes, it'll be more reassuring if momokawa is coming along.」
「if it's momokawa, then we have no problem.」
「wait a second, i am getting a bad feeling if momokawa is coming along――」
「give it up sakura. that guy will stick with us even if he has to crawl.」
most of my classmates nodded in understanding when i told them that i was coming along.
「kotaro-kun, you have to explain properly to everyone you know?」
「of course, mei-chan.」
i decided on this plan last night after consulting with mei-chan, and since she gave her stamp of approval, i decided to push it.
i was really happy that everyone showed their consent and understanding.
all that was left was to enjoy tomorrow's victory celebration to the fullest!
