Wow!
Aren’t those Lesser Dragons?
Their Attributes seem somewhat diverse.
Their appearances, coloration, and majestic presence all seem different as well.
And it’s not just those three.
There are people riding them.
It’s them.
The same three from this morning.
The Dragoons and Dragon Knights.
Are those jousting spears in their hands?
But theirs are surprisingly long.
They’re definitely twice as long as the Lion Sage’s Knight Spear that I currently have.
The Dragon Knight Laufen points down.
Below me I can see the flat area where we had taken off yesterday.
Master’s Roc Bird swoops down.
I decided to follow suit as well.
「I never thought I’d have a chance to see a Pegasus with my own eyes.」
「So this is the Divine Horse, Pegasus?」
The Dragon Knight Laufen and the Dragoon Guriel are staring at Aotsuki side by side.
Dragoon Sabine, no, Princess Sabine is acting a little strange.
She’s getting closer.
She has a dazed expression on her face.
I’m getting a bad feeling about this…
「Pardon my rudeness, but… Do you mind if I pet her? Please?」
「Sure, go ahead.」
Aotsuki still has her wings spread out.
If you don’t like it, you can run away into the sky, okay?
However…
Aotsuki is allowing the princess to pet her.
Princess Sabine has taken off her gauntlets in order to pet her.
It seems like she didn’t have time to take off his armor, but I get the feeling that if she had done so, she might have even tried to hug Aotsuki.
「I believe that’s enough for now, yes?」
The princess seemed to want to enjoy this dreamy experience a little longer, but Master interrupted her.
The expression on his face was a wry smile.
Isn’t that disrespectful to the princess?
「I apologize for the inconvenience, Master Aurnier, Lady Juna.」
「We’re not in the royal castle anymore, so I there’s no need for you to humble yourself so much.」
The princess bows gracefully, with a humility that seems incompatible with her royal status.
Master remains in a relaxed atmosphere.
Juna, too, is in her usual spirits.
「Did they ask you to take me back there?」
「Yes.」
「I suppose it does look bad if you guys keep letting me escape like always, huh?」
「Our own prestige is of no concern.」
「Aren’t Dragon Knights being made light of as of late? I wonder if the Privy Council and the Elders are aware of this?」
「If you think of it as training, it won’t feel like it is hard work.」
Juna pats the princess on the head.
Princess Sabine’s hair is short.
It seems to be cut into a simple, evenly short haircut.
「You’ve got such beautiful hair, and yet you continue to hide it like this?」
「Such is the royal command.」
「No prince or princess of the royal family should be treated as if they were worthless! You were the one recognized by that Dragon as its rider!」
「Such is the fate of those of the royal family.」
「But, Pegasus Knights are better, right?」
After saying that, Juna turns her gaze towards Aotsuki.
The princess follows suit.
Well, Aotsuki seems to not be concerned with such things.
By the way…
All three of these Dragon Knights seem to have a good relationship with Juna and Master.
Were they just pretending to be distant at the royal castle?
Master recalls his Roc Bird.
Then he heads into the valley.
We follow behind him.
And it seems that the three Lesser Dragons will be coming with us as well.
But…
Too close!
Their faces are too close!
Why are they coming towards me?
They’re not planning to eat me, right?
I’m not Dragon food!
What about Obsidian, Sputter, Setsui, and Ignis?
They’ve taken refuge on top of the Aotsuki’s saddle.
Nice, you guys.
I’ll just be here, scared for my life all by myself!
We’re greeted by one of the Cloud Dragons and the Golden Red Dragon.
It seems that the other Cloud Dragon isn’t here right now.
And the three Lesser Dragons go towards the Cloud Dragon.
It feels almost as if they had gotten together for an idle chat.
Come to think of it, Dragons are intelligent creatures, right?
「Well, I guess this is as far as we’ll come to see you off.」
「Understood. But is that really okay?」
「We’ve ve already caused enough trouble for you all.」
「No. I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to help you defeat the Majins.」
「Why, it’s only because of the protection of the royal castle that we can move about freely.」
「And we’ve got this young one with us as well!」
Juna strokes the Golden Red Dragon’s fangs while saying this.
That’s amazing.
It doesn’t seem to be something that just anyone would be capable of imitating.
At any rate, what’s that about defeating Majins?
Master sometimes disappears as well… could it be?
No.
It’s quite possible, actually.
We parted ways with the dragon knights in the hall where the Golden Red Dragon is enshrined.
The princess seemed reluctant to part with Aotsuki.
Despite her being dressed as a man, she still behaves like a young girl.
We then descend into the valley.
When we first came here, I didn’t notice this, but there’s a part of the wall that is colored differently than the rest of it.
And what happens when Master touches it?
My field of vision flips upside down.
We’re being teleported away.
What’s the landscape we see next?
It’s that huge rock that was on that one island.
I see…
This mechanism seems to be able to take anyone both ways.
That’s very convenient!
「Have you been able to see how to use this place?」
「Yes.」
「I have made it so that it can only be used by a limited number of people to prevent its misuse. However, I will also make it so that even you can use it.」
「Is that really okay?」
「Well, I might ask you to take care of some things in the royal castle.」
Right.
It would be naive of me to think that I would be able to use this unconditionally, right?
I understand.
Let’s make a quick calculation…
Doesn’t this allow me to skip a distance of ten squares on the map?
That’s very convenient indeed.
And how would I gain access to this convenient teleportation mechanism?
I simply touched the huge rock together with Master.
It’s not like I’m disappointed, but that’s it? That’s all it took?
「Well then, take care.」
「See you later, Keith!」
This is where I part ways with Master and Juna.
Juna chanted a spell, and then both of them disappeared right before my eyes.
It’s Spacetime Magic.
According to Juna, with her abilities, she can easily teleport to the castle…
But she simply refrains from doing so.
It seems she’s hiding various things about her in order to avoid unnecessary commotion.
Should I try to imitate her?
No, it’s different for me.
There are many things that I simply forget.
Alright.
This is the E4 map.
It would be nice to explore the surrounding area, but let’s have lunch first.
I recall Setsui and summon Bunraku.
What will I do after my meal?
The sea is right there.
There’s something I want to do.
Finally, it’s Apnea’s turn.
The difficulty level of the monsters in this Map may be high, but so be it.
With the help of the surroundings, there should be no problem.
