6-Year Old Sage Wants to Tread in The Shadows ~Becoming the Ruler of Darkness and Training My Retainers I’ll Build the Strongest Country~
Episode 16 Reinforcement: Princess Clarisse
The footsteps are approaching with great momentum.
I don't have time to investigate using detection magic.
"Eddie, behind me!
Face to face, taking the form of being sheltered by the princess, I looked subtly. [M]
In the worst case scenario, keep magic active immediately.
Shortly thereafter the LORD of sounds appeared from beyond the trees.
"= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =" (Oh? Why are humans here?)
It was the Dragon language that was spinned.
I understand.
But the princesses won't know.
"Hih...! Ri, Dragon Man...!?
The guards trembled in front of the demon tribes that looked down from the horse.
There are about ten enemies.
They were all riding and surrounded us with the familiar strings.
"Princess, please stand back!
"No, I will fight too!
The guard and the princess formed a circular formation to protect my child.
Stay with your backs together in one place and arms up.
"= = = = = = =" (Whoa, stop it.... ahh, you can't speak dragon language either)
One snorted and started using a different language.
"Hey, who knows the official magic language?"
"... so... Soledekhar, I'm talking mass"
The princess responded and began to speak the official magic language slightly later.
But the princesses won't know.
I'm glad we got through this.
The Dragon Man distorted his face to the bottom of his chin.
When it comes to dragonmen, their appearance is not so different from that of humans.
The sharp ears and the silver scales that would cover the whole body, two metres tall, are about the size of a tail that would destroy everything around it with a single swing.
No, not really, is it?
But I'm walking on two legs and the conversation is over in the official demonic language.
It would be good if there was no big difference.
--Even so, these dragonmen.
It's probably a werewolf chaser, but it's not fully armed.
He wears more armor from the top of the scale and holds a large sword at his waist.
What was written in that secret book is finally becoming realistic.
"What are humans doing here? I'll kill you as soon as I answer."
"Ku, Clara, please run away...!
Clara is a fake name for a princess.
I decided in advance not to be seen as a princess in the unlikely event.
"... calm down. These people are just asking questions."
The princess took a deep breath and said slowly.
We are the soldiers of Mary Land. Nenn came to visit us near the border. You're not going to fight, Aramasen.
It's not a good place to follow.
It's okay because it goes through.
The problem now is this situation.
Why are the Demons in human territory?
The Alliance strictly forbids treading without permission.
Perhaps the princess would also like to pursue it, but if she offends the opponent badly under the circumstances, she knows it's a snake.
For now, it was just a faint explanation that there was no hostility.
But the dragonmen still seem suspicious.
Looks like we're gonna need another push.
Seeing the timing, I raised my voice. [M]
"Oneechan, I'm scared...! Didn't you just come here for a walk today...!?
"... ahh? With a kid?
"Hmm... it seems true that I didn't mean to be bad. There's nothing to fight for."
The dragonmen looked at us with their worthy eyes, but they seemed convinced.
"Hmm. Well, get out of the way, human. We need your dog."
I'm not a dog, I'm already dead. Call him a rag. "
Kuhaha, is that so?
It seems that we didn't see it from the beginning.
I don't try to hide the feelings that look down on us.
"Come on, run and run. I wish I didn't want to be killed."
"Hee, hee...!
The guards are trembling.
Even if he didn't understand the words, he must have learned his intentions with a rough attitude pretending to swing the sword.
The Dragon Man is a species that is located in the strongest category of the Demon race, which is said to be the "last one to turn to the enemy".
I can't help being stared at by such opponents, and the guards' frightened attitude.
"Let's go, everyone...." Dragonmen. Thank you. "
I nodded at the princess's actions. [M]
Yes. In this situation, it is above all the right thing to do.
The Dragon Man alone is said to destroy a human army, but this number can't help it.
No matter what you do in the future, you can't judge it now.
This is a one-time cut.
When we tried to ride the horse...
"Hey, he doesn't have anything like a secret book anywhere."
What is it...?
The dragonmen are throwing their voices at us.
"Hey, humans. Did you guys touch this guy's body?
"... yeah"
That's strange. You smell human? Even if we're not as good as dogs, we're better than you guys. "
"... I just stopped by to see if she was alive or dead, Dace."
"At that time, did you take anything from this guy's pocket? For example, yes, a letter."
The dragonmen who got off the horse approached us.
One of the guards starts to tremble.
He is the one with the secret book.
"Hey guys. Turn them all down and make sure."
...... Wait a minute, Nane!
Princess Clarisse glanced back at the dragon man desperately with her pale face.
We are the Knight Death of the Royal Army! Don't be so rude, Kudasai. "
"Ahhn? Rude?
Did you hear that, Buhaha! Humans tell us to keep our manners up!!
I see, I see. Then let's do exactly as I say. "
The dragon leader stretched out his arm all the way with a stupid smile.
The thick finger pointed to Princess Clarisse.
Were you a lady first? Woman, I'll see what you can do first. "
"We're polite gentlemen."
The dragonmen approached the princess, moving their hands lewdly.
It was clear what he was trying to do.
"Clara!! Please run!!
I whispered inside. [M]
I thought it would be a lot easier, but I can't keep up.
This is the situation.
It's hard to escape anymore.
Among them, you can fight...
The guards are trying to protect the princess, but they don't seem to be able to fight properly.
Princess Clarisse was the only one who trembled but stubbornly tore her lips together and didn't lose her will.
"Eddie, run away....."
"Hey, princess. How confident are you with your sword?
Huh?
Looking back at me in surprise, the princess answered my question, even though she looked ridiculous. [M]
My voice must have conveyed the seriousness.
I don't want to let go of the life I've gotten until I'm reborn.
That's why I want the princess to get out of this mess.
"I... can't beat a woman's sword. That father admitted it too. But the only thing I don't know about losing is when I'm a human opponent...."
"If that king has the strength he admits, that's enough."
I approached the princess and whispered quickly. [M]
"I'll cover you with magic, and the princess will fight him with a sword."
"Dear Eddie, but...."
"It's okay. I won't let you die. Trust me."
"Yes, it is. Now, Eddie's desire not to be noticed by anyone....."
"Ah... well, of course."
Jesus Christ.
Will you keep your promise to me until now? [M]
The princess who was trying to fight by herself instead of relying on my magic because she was shaking blue. [M]
I thought she was a favorite. [M]
"Thank you, princess, for your concern. I'm fine. Instead, the guards will let you sleep."
The truth is, the Dragon Man is quick if his sleeping magic works.
However, I knew that this kind of status-abnormal magic rarely works for the demons.
My MP can't afford to try and shoot. [M]
"Me and Princess, let's fight together."
…… ... okay. I will sift the sword for you!
"First of all, can you show me a little bit of the situation you're fighting alone?
"Hey, how long have we been talking in private? Hurry up..."
The sound of humans falling to the ground stopped the dragonmen.
Seeing our guards fall down one after the other by sleeping magic, the dragonmen leaned their heads suspiciously.
"What?
"... I'm going, Eddie!
When the princess held her sword and kicked the ground, she slightly penetrated into the dragonmen.
Oh, that's fast!
The princess's swordsmanship was light, and I was purely surprised.
"Yaah!
"Hmm... human time!
The Dragon Man pulls out the Great Sword and swings it down towards the Princess.
A heavy blow hits the princess with the sound of the wind.
The princess flew backwards in a supple motion to avoid it and threw away her slender sword at the dragon man who was born in the gap.
The princess moves overwhelmingly faster.
But...
"What is it? It's just ticklish.
"That's not true....."
This way next!
The dragon man beat the princess with his armoured hand and shook his arm down.
"... ahh!?
A princess with a heavy blow is blown behind her.
I managed to take over, but I slipped on the ground and hit the trunk of the tree.
"Nh, uhh...!
"Princess, are you okay?!
Rushing in a hurry, he peeks into the princess's face.
The cut lips are bleeding and painful.
"I'm sorry, Eddie....! I can't stand my teeth at all....."
The princess, breathing on her shoulders, frowned in regret.
I shook my neck and gently touched her arm.
The Dragon Man was not instantly killed by the opponent.
That's a big deal.
That's the only thing that kept the Oak Kings alone until the end.
"Sorry, princess. Do you think we should just do it again?
"Yeah, no problem....!
"I understand the princess's movements in general. I'll work with you from here on out."
"Eh... is that all...!?
"Yeah, trust me."
Yes!
Covering the Swordsman with magic is a common method of combat.
It's like having a party for that.
But what I'm trying to do this time is not a simple collaboration.
I don't want these dragonmen to notice that I can use magic. [M]
Then you need to make it look like the princess is fighting alone.
I've never tried this method in my previous life.
I am certain that I will never fail, technically or theoretically.
The reason I've never used it is because I've never partied with anyone in the first place.
I thought I could put it into practice whenever I had the opportunity.
"I'm going. --Haaaaahh!
As the princess kicked the ground again, I chanted fire magic in my mouth.
However, it does not trigger immediately.
Transfer magic from your right hand to the ground and wrap it around the princess's sword.
It's as if a pigeon is entangled in a blade.
Something like an invisible aura envelopes the princess's sword.
So far, so planned.
Activates Magic from a distance, not from your body.
There is considerable control technology, but it is a field that I was very good at in my previous life.
My skin knows that the feeling hasn't faded yet.
"Princess! Attack!
"Ah, yes!
With my signal, the princess holds off the sword. [M]
Along with that, I activated my magic.
At that moment.
The blade of the sword in the princess's hand sparkled red and a powerful flame was blown.
The dragonmen opened their eyes to the burning sword.
"Oh, what is that!?
"Shit!! Hey, run away...."
"Princess, don't put your sword on the dragon men and blow it with the hot wind! Do your best!
"Yes! - Hey!
The vortex of hot air swept from the blade, and the princess shouted and waved the sword, blowing the dragon men together.
"Gwaaaaaaaaa!!
Iron armor heats up.
The dragonmen in them would have done a lot of damage.
He's not dead, but he can't get up when he falls to the ground.
The dragonmen are vulnerable to heat.
It doesn't matter how hard the scales are.
"Hmm... this is..."
The princess stood stunned at the blow she fired.
"Wow. You're so strong, princess!
I went to the princess who was blinking repeatedly and laughed with a smile. [M]
