2023-02-05 23:54:52We’ve earned around 1000 Credits just by selling the jewelry and dresses Chloe has with her. Since we don’t need such lavish ornaments around Chloe’s body, it is best to sell those things and make them our own pocket money. The two of us have no idea how the adventurer’s guild, the town, or the inn works.
I also ask if Chloe is good with money, to which she replies to me with…. “Yes! My parents and I buy stuff from these lavish shops and then…” the story continues. I stop Chloe from resuming any further and ask if she has visited her hometown, far from the interior sides of her own castle.
“Hmmmm. Not really. My parents said there were a lot of bad people who wanted us gone, so it was best to help those villagers from afar. So we never get the gist of what is happening in the market unless it is time to deal with the merchant’s guild.”
Bingo! The main problem lies there. Chloe’s parents assume that the villagers never really care about them, but in fact, they need to have faith in them. They are the ones the king and queens should focus on, not anything else. As long as the people prove their loyalty to the Kingdom, I think that’s all that matters.
As a Japanese guy who lives in a peaceful and democratic country, I know a thing or two about what a prime minister or a leader must do.
So I tell Chloe that she needs to fix that attitude, but I won’t be the one who should tell her. Maybe if we could visit the adventurer’s guild and the people living there, Chloe, the princess, should know.
“I’ll be handling the money and the expenses. Besides, every time you kill monsters or finish quests, we could gain Credits. Sometime soon, I may open up the bank and let you share the Credits. Until then, I’m in charge, okay?”
“You are such a stingy person, Kuro,” Chloe mutters, and pouts in front of me.
“But if you and I want to survive, you have to follow me.”
“I know….”
Anyway, the clothes could’ve cost more if we were in a proper shop. But since we are dealing with the merchant, there’s nothing else we can do but accept his offer, despite losing a bunch of Credits with it. “Make the most out of everything,” I say. And just move on from the problem.
There is only one piece of jewelry Princess Chloe refuses to sell: the earrings her parents, the king and queen, have bought for her. Although we couldn’t have that showing around her ears, I suggest Chloe to place it inside my inventory. She reluctantly agrees, but… it is what it is.
Princess Chloe and I arrive at the adventurer’s guild around evening. Unfortunately, our journey took two days before we could arrive at the village. And once we have settled in, we enter the town with a new pair of clothing that Chloe has sported. She now looks like a villager and an adventurer of the place. Nobody should suspect that Chloe is the princess of the Winfort Kingdom.
But I also have to be sure. Chloe and I stop by at the apex of the mountain before entering the town. The princess looks at me and sends me dozens of question marks, unsure what this is all about.
“Can you turn around for a second? Like twirl very, very slowly. And then, afterward, pick up the pace,” I instruct Chloe, while resting my chin on my finger, looking like the thinking man sculpture or the Le pension.
“Why?” Chloe asks, and tilts her head to the side.
“Just… Just do it for me.”
Chloe spins around slowly at first, then picks up the face after a few rounds. As soon as her entire head spins, even after she stops, Chloe almost falls on the ground if I have not intervened.
“G-Get a hold of yourself, Chloe!” I roar, trying desperately to push back a human while I am still in my gun form.
“You have told me to spin, so I spun! Thankfully, the world stopped moving around right now.”
“I can see that….” A lengthy pause cuts my thoughts for a few seconds. Afterward, I finally have an idea of the ultimate touch so we could avoid getting into trouble by getting noticed by others.
I have noticed that the villagers, merchants, and adventurers we have seen thus far usually have black and white hair. Chloe is a noble, a princess, to top it off, so her hair is extraordinary. Meaning, no matter how hard we try to change her clothing, Chloe’s appearance would still reveal her identity.
So I have made up my mind.
“We need to cut your hair and change its colour… Maybe to white? That’s the last thing we should do, and I think nobody would notice you.”
“EEEEH?! But I love my hair!!! My mother always brushes my hair before I sleep and praises me for having long and silky hair!”
“But we need to survive, Chloe… It’s for the best. I’m sorry, but we need to do this to survive.”
Chloe doesn’t have a choice, so she forcefully nods, goes to a nearby lake, and shortens her hair. Thankfully, there is some sort of magic that changes the hair’s colour. The princess does that and swiftly turns into a different look, but with the same personality.
“H-How do I look?” Chloe asks, but I am too stunned to answer.
Chloe morphs her length and bouncy blonde hair into a white pixie cut hair. It suits her. Not a single word escape from my mouth as I keep looking at Chloe, charmed by her appearance.
And then, her voice, ironically, snaps me back into reality. Chloe literally grips me tightly in her hand and shakes the hell out of me.
“C-CHLOE! W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” I ask, uncertain of what is happening.
Chloe responds, “YOU ARE THE ONE WHO MADE ME DO THIS, AND YET YOU REFUSE TO GIVE ANY COMMENTS! HOW CRUEL CAN YOU BE, KURO! YOU LET A LADY CUT HER HAIR AND… YOU SAY NOTHING!?”
“A-Ah… I forgot to say this, but you look like a star from the night sky.”
I…. I don’t know what has gotten into me, but those are the words that I could think of. I am not a poetic guy… But since I have come into this world, I might as well describe Chloe as something alluring.
I never see Chloe as a partner, and even Chloe doesn’t see me as such. Even so, I have complimented her. So whatever I have mentioned flatters the young princess.
“Thank you…”
………
Just like the merchant has disclosed, by the time we enter the town, hundreds of posters are already nailed on the board. Chloe’s face is in the middle of it, with a whopping amount of Credits beside her name. The mercenaries have their eyes glaring at Chloe’s picture. Thankfully,
Even though the adventurers have nothing against vigilantes and criminals on the loose, which Chloe isn’t, they could still earn the reward if they just take Chloe’s head or present her to brother, Flynn Winfort, the current king of the Kingdom.

Reincarnated as a Gun in Another World with a System! Chapter 8 - The Adventurer's Guild
Regardless, we resume our stride and end the topic right there as soon as we stop by in front of the adventurer’s guild. It is unlike any other. The only difference from the adventurer’s guild among its contenders of the building is that… this place has an inn, diner, and is closely built in the middle of the plaza, where anyone could see compared to other stores and businesses. Right next to the adventurer’s guild is the merchant’s firm, which controls the market and anything else revolving around money. When Chloe nuzzles the wooden slide and enters the adventurer’s guild, she is immediately welcomed by a woman - a staff from the guild; I guess - and is quickly taken to the reception bar. The place is filled with adventurers, I assume, sitting on the table and chugging their beers overflowing from their mugs. When we pass by, these adventurers steal a glance. I believe they are mesmerised by Chloe’s beauty, especially when she has cut her hair and painted it silver. But when these

Bonus Chapter Third-Person Point of View ___________________________ Two peculiar individuals enter the radar of the adventurer’s guild, and that catches the attention of the Bounty Hunter’s leader. One is a woman with short hair painted in silver, and the other is unknown to the people living in Kepler. At first glance, the building is nothing more different from the ones stationed in every other village and town. But there is something cooking underground… literally. By the time these two individuals leave the adventurer’s guild in a hurry, a poster hovers near the entrance, reminding the receptionist about her task. The picture from the poster resembles quite closely the woman who has hurriedly exited the building. Anne A****n, who is currently working as a staff in Honeywood town and a roaming adventurer, is paid by someone from the higher-up for a specific job. She couldn’t say who hired her to kill someone. But the person behind the murderous intention belongs to none other t

Back to Princess Chloe’s Perspective____________________At once, Chloe exited the place and ran as far away as her little legs could, gripping me tightly in her hands. We have no idea about the time. But we know we’ve created a fair distance between the village and our origin, thinking we would be safe away from the town. I am the one who has suggested that, and I know someone or something would come after for us if we idle for more.The next thing we know, nighttime arrives, and the environment becomes pitch black. Multiple stars shine above our heads, and the moon, shaped like a square, hovers around us. It is odd but calming. Back in my world, moons, stars, and other planets are in the form of a sphere and others… figures. And none of them are shaped like a square.We are inside a forest yet again. Thankfully, no monsters reside in the area. Normally, these horrible forests like what we are in right now are the epitome of woe or death. As luck would have it, Chloe is still in one

“BAAH! DAMNED THIS ETERNAL REGRET! I will practise! Come, Kuro! Let’s go and practice! I’ll use those trees as my target dummies and hit them using my bullets!”“Uh…. Chloe? Did you just…?”“DID I WHAT NOW, KURO?” Chloe narrows her eyes and growls at me.“N-Nothing. I’m aboard whatever you have in mind, princess.”And here, I think Chloe will sleep after our conversation ends. But I have thought wrong. Chloe picks herself from the ground, drags me out of my place, and rushes towards the trees. She then gapes at the plants for a few seconds before gazing back at me.“Tell me where to train, Kuro. The pain inside my chest continues to consume me, and I want to do something about it.”“Trust the gun… and respect the gun. And for that, you should-...”“I know!” Chloe says, as she encases her hand around the trigger... Around me. She then stares at the tree as if it is a creature heading toward her... It is as if this situation is a life-or-death situation for her. “I know… It’s just that,

The [Forest Cerberus] finds an opening and slashes Chloe’s left arm. Her non-dominant arm. Chloe recognises that she has messed up, so she darts away. But she couldn’t sprint for more. As soon as the princess glances at her back, the same [Forest Cerberus] catches up and plans to pierce her with its horns. Those four [Forest Cerberus] are also tailing behind, waiting for the perfect opportunity to gang up on her.If Chloe still wishes to improve, now’s the time. She aims the gun again at the creature, but her confidence diminishes. The princess isn’t sure if the bullets will hit her enemies… or if it will repeat the same mistake she did earlier. “I… I don’t know, Kuro… I can’t hit the enemy…” Chloe murmurs, and plans on accepting death as she slowly closes her eyes. Her hand shivers again. She is still trying, and Chloe would pull the trigger somehow or in some way. However, she already knows the conclusion. Some bullets would miss the [Forest Cerberus], or they would only hit their

“Did you just say ‘Game Over?’” I ask, trying to make sure I have heard the correct word. Chloe hardly bobs her head, avoids my gaze, and replies, “Y-Yes, Kuro… Because that is what you always say… And I want to mimic your way of speaking… You are somewhat having fun with it, and I also find it amusing to my ears. Hence, I said the word. I apologise if it does not suit me-...” “No, no, no, no, no, no.” I shake my head and continue. “As a matter of fact, that’s actually pretty dope, princess! You can copy whatever I’m saying, and I don’t mind a bit! It’s just refreshing, which took me by surprise to hear you say something out of the blue. And nice shot, by the way! We finally killed the [Forest Cerberus]!” “There you again, saying words that I do not know. What is a ‘Dope?’... Nevermind. I will learn it sometime soon. The terminologies you say always remind me that you do not come from this world but from another. Which is why I feel at ease when I’m with you…” “Anyhow, thank you fo

I leave the decision to Chloe. I have already made up my mind, but I am not alone in this fight. Chloe is with me, and it would be rude to decide whether to take the mission, although it would benefit the two of us. If there’s a decision to make, it is best to survey Chloe to see if she is willing to do it. And if she isn’t, we’d figure something out.Thankfully, the princess is up for the task. When she first hears my thoughts, Chloe contemplates for a second and agrees. But she looks at me with a worried look in her eyes. After a moment, she voices her concerns. “Are you sure we can win this fight, despite the fact that [Goblin Shaman[ is way above our level, Kuro?”Again, for the umpteenth time, I would’ve already shaken it from left to right if only I had a head. “To be honest, I don’t want to give you false hope, so… I don’t know. The best thing we can do is to try. And besides, your aim is becoming better than usual. That’s a start.”“The [Forest Cerberus] needs four bullets to

Kuro’s Perspective__________________Even back in my world, the blaring sound of a horn just like that means that something is happening. And that something is most likely a war of some sort. And Chloe deduces the same thing.Just like what we have expected, that sound comes from starting a battle. And when I check my system, it appears that… dozens of red balls are blinking in the middle of the woods, telling us that there are multiple enemies heading in the Eastern Republic’s direction. Dozens of blue markings, indicating neutral individuals, are eliminated as soon as that happens. It just means that these scarlet hues are barbarians, bandits, or even monsters.But it seems it is the latter.Since we’re already here, we go to the highest cliff and witness what is happening. From where we are, hundreds… if not, thousands of beasts have already infiltrated the gates of the Eastern Republic, killing almost a dozen elven and demi-human guards protecting the post.

I don’t even know who to side with anymore.But even though I have promised Chloe that I will not help her, since my parents have different ideas compared to Chloe, I… I still ask them a question.“Father… Mother, why did you reject Chloe’s offer when an alliance can be beneficial for both parties? Why? Why did you reject such a wonderful offer that can help not only our people but also others? I thought that’s the reason why the Eastern Republic has been the lead country to develop dozens of things unrelated to military weapons… Chloe has said it herself! We are not going to kill or provide anything besides our word, and that should be enough to scare the Western Country and the So
Chapter 98 - All on Her Own
Chloe also doesn’t beat the bush and tells exactly what she needs to say. She wants an alliance. And the only thing she can do is to beg on her knees, which… Chloe surprisingly does. Even I have been caught off guard about it, and I have not even begged for someone or go down on my knees.“Please… I’m not doing this for myself… but for our people… If we can somehow make an alliance, my brother will have to fall back and retreat. You won’t have to fight or anything. I just want your name listed on the alliance. I know, for a fact, that the Eastern Republic refuses to kill any individuals. Hence, your neutral state. But I can assure you that the only need is your word of alliance. Nothing more, nothing less… I’ll do anything you want. Just… I want my Kingdom back.”King Edwyrd pauses for a second as he scrutinise Chloe’s eyes. Now everyone knows this person right here is the princess of the Winfort, begging for an alliance with the Eastern Republic. I know that this is the last draw Chl
Chapter 97 - Alliance
Once the gate has been shut and the people remaining in the place are just the five of us, the King and Queen finally rise from their seats and head towards us. They don’t have any malice in their eyes. But their glares are enough to judge whether someone is a traitor, a spy, or even an individual who wishes to wreak havoc against their Republic. But after a few seconds of scrutinising the hell out of Chloe, King Edwyrd and Queen Verrona finally give in and accept Chloe as a guest with hidden intentions. “I see you’re telling the truth, Zoe Sunstone… But it seems there is more than meets the eye…” the elf who has said that is the King. His eyes glues at Chloe. KLing Edwyrd desperately tries to see through the facial feature of Chloe from the hole of her hood, but… the ebony environment hinders his eyesight from peeking any further. These rulers of the Eastern Land do not have any abilities to check whether someone is lying or telling the truth. Their leers have just come from their
Chapter 96 - It is Time
We don’t go through any meetings with Prince Faelar’s parents. Prince Faelar already knows Chloe has met dozens of nobles and leaders during her young age, so she shouldn’t be nervous at all. And if she is, Chloe is anxious not from the rulers but for what they are going to say.Prince Faelar also knows that I will be here with Chloe, suggesting the right thing to say. And even without my help, I too know Chloe. And she will not say anything rash, not unless the rulers of the Republic wish to provoke Chloe. This is the time we have been waiting for. The moment of truth is now in front of us. And the only thing for us to do right now is to let the guards know Prince Faelar and his guests, Chloe and I, would like to speak with the King and Queen. Usually, we need an appointment to meet the leaders of the Republic or Kingdom. But since we know Prince Faelar, we don’t have to go through that process.The only people standing before us are the pair of elven soldiers guarding their post. B
Chapter 95 - Behind the Throne Room
Throughout the meal, Dilya has striked a conversation with Prince Faelar and Chloe, asking about random things such as where he has been and what kind of event he has done. It’s not because Dilya is curious and worried about Prince Faelar. It’s about gauging and putting up the pieces if she trusts us or makes a mistake where our stories don't collide.But there’s nothing for us to hide besides me and the conversation Chloe has to do to build an alliance. Besides that, we disclose everything. Much to Dilya’s surprise, she believes it at the end of the day. However, she isn’t happy about it. As soon as Dilya is finished with her meal, she stands up, lets the servant take her plates, and leaves the room without a single word. But before she leaves the place, Dilya turns around and meets Chloe’s eyes. And then to Prince Faelar.“After what my brother has explained, I do not apologise for attacking you… since you’ve eaten our food and I believe you can stay for tonight… It’s not like ever
Chapter 94 - Preparation
We are invited inside the castle. There are guards standing on their post, watching Chloe’s every move. They still suspect Chloe as someone else besides being a guest with Prince Faelar. These elven soldiers thought that Chloe is some kind of individual who would take advantage of the situation… or end up killing the royal family.“Why is Prince Faelar friends with… such a total stranger?”“Maybe he’s under a spell? That is likely the case… I think.”“Or maybe it has something to do with a bribe or forced deal that Prince Faelar had made… Maybe he has fucked up? I don’t know.”Those are the baseless rumours the soldiers have presented. But none of them are real. In fact, Prince Faelar is the one who made the request. And Chloe right here just accepted it. If it weren’t for Prince Faelar wanting to visit the Sanctum of Ugmjir, he wouldn’t be with the topic.But these royal members of the Elven Republic do not know a thing. And besides, Prince Faelar had a blast with us. Between Prince

As soon as the two show off their accessories, the three of us continue talking to each other, find a restaurant, fill our stomachs, and… end the journey right here.We continue the conversation until the three of us have reached the castle’s gates. It is a long walk. Fortunately, the sun is still out, and we still have a few minutes before the moon can rise again. There is a debate where we can meet with Prince Faelar’s parents tomorrow, but… we’re already here. Our group might as well talk to the King and Queen and get this over with.Besides, Chloe already knows what she wants to say. And so does Prince Faelar. Prince Faelar’s only request is that… he doesn’t want to be involved with this. And even if he does, he knows that this will just anger his parents. Chloe and I understand his circumstances, since in the beginning of this mission, we just asked Prince Faelar if we could meet his parents. And that’s going to be taken care of a few minutes later…“I guess… this is it, huh?” Pr
