Research lab in Adventurer Guild HQ.
There were four sheaths sitting in a little break in the corner of the room, lined up with equipment that I wasn't sure what to use. At the table in front of me was the arm of the maid who took it back from Madura's Mansion.
The lab door opened, and it was Red who came in.
"Master, I'm glad you're safe!
Red raised his hand a little to the four people who stood up.
"Wow, you guys look great too. Looks like it was a shame about Madra."
"Yes, he escaped."
"I was interrupted by a weird doll, disappeared in an instant by magic, what is it?"
While listening to the words of Sheath and Elena, Red sat opposite the table between Sheath and the others. When you take out a cigarette, you think this room is non-smoking and tend to miss it.
"I think I've heard a lot about it, but let me explain it again. First of all, the original trigger....."
While briefly explaining the story, Redo observes the sheaths. As I thought, I saw in the sheath another being - possibly the blood of an ancient dragon - as stupid as I am. Well, I guess dragoons are kind of like awakeners with the same [true blood] as themselves.
Liddell's body is also getting more magic. Proof of good magic training. Ellios has as little magic as ever, but he can see that his muscle mass is increasing and that less magic is efficiently moving around his body. There was only so much magic flowing that it could really see or see, and Red once again felt uncomfortable with it. Even ordinary citizens who have not trained in magic have a little more magic.
Until now, I didn't really care, but maybe there is a reason, so Redo thought it would be remembered as a future development policy.
On the other hand, Irene found that there were three types of magic circulating in her body somehow. In other words, it generates more than twice as much magic as a typical human. But if it's just about twice as much magic... it's obviously unusual to mix three different types of magic. I also decided to remember this.
"... well, that's how it feels. Tell me your story."
After explaining, Redo prompts the sheath.
"Yes, we were invited to Madra's Mansion through the Alliance. As a result, I was invited to be a brave man and follow me... but I refused."
I see. Perhaps he wanted to bring Sheath into his own faction. "
"To defeat the Demon King, you need a hero." Brave men are not just titles. "Madra said that. I don't know what that means."
"You're a brave man...."
Reed listens to Sheath and thinks. The vast amount of knowledge given to Martell was as noisy as ever, and no matter what the brave thought, they knew nothing.
Therefore, I can only deduce from what I know.
"First of all, it is certain that the Demon King to be defeated is not Iglese, the king of the demons. The name of the true [Demon King] is [Magic Dragon Freila], probably an ancient dragon. It is said that if you wake up, it will be the greatest threat. I heard it was sealed in the end of the old world after a riot... but the place and method are unknown. Probably, but the brave are involved. Is it a generic name for those who sealed it, or is it the name of the magic or device used to seal it? I've been investigating this, too... I don't know."
"It means something different than being brave today."
I see. At present, the title of the [Blood League (Sangres)], which is the brave decision maker behind the Dylan Zar royal family, is only meaningful because it is recognized as a suitable opponent for future promising adventurers and young people to request the demon king's crusade. But considering that the chairman was Madra... don't change your mind. "
"What are the benefits of being recognized by a brave man? Can I get you something special? Is there a ritual or something like that?
Redd answers Sheath's questions.
"The benefits are, of course, better treatment and no loss. That's why I've done a lot to make Sein a brave man. Sein has bad parts, of course, but there's a lot of good parts."
"Yes, I agree."
"But when Sein became a brave man, I was banished from the party. So, I don't know what kind of procedure Sein went through to become a brave man, and nothing came out of the search. The [Sangres] virtually collapsed without Madura. The rest of them don't know anything because Madura isn't breathing. Considering that former chairman Eisen is dead, it looks like something happened."
Reed, listening to Reed, opened his mouth.
"Why don't you ask Sein directly? I hear you're still alive."
"I thought so too, but Sein has already left King's Landing as an Alliance Night. They're using me. It's rough."
That's what Red said and laughed like a prank.
"Well, why don't you ask the party? You may not know anything, but maybe you've heard something from Sein."
"That's right...."
As the tone of Redo's voice fell, Irene bent her mouth to the right.
"You don't look like that. I know it's hard to see."
"I see... I can't avoid it forever..."
"Shall I follow you?
Looking at Reed's sad face, Sheath suggested so.
"I'm not a kid, I'm fine. Thank you, Sheath."
"Mr. Reed, speaking of which, what about the case?
Helios said so, and Elene nodded next door.
"I'm going to Vail, so I'll show you around. We're going to get a request from the guild and go home again."
"Oh, I'm working on that, but I'm working on it. Leeds certainly went back to Sirius Festival country."
"Yes, the Alliance sent high-ranking adventurers everywhere, or they asked me to."
"And yet, I'm the only one who's ordered King's Landing to wait... Well, my village is just a mountain village... and there are small ruins..."
Looking at the sheath for some reason, Redd smiled.
I'm the one who put the sheath on hold.
"Huh? Master? Why?"
Redd explained to the sheath tilting his neck.
"Something bothers me. Perhaps, Sheath, you will go with me to your village of birth. Let's train each other along the way. Me and you have become a little special, so I concluded that we should act together for the time being."
"Are you with Master?!!
The sheath opened its large eyes even bigger. It's a mix of surprise and joy.
"What, you don't like it?
"I don't want to!! Wow, come on. Father will be surprised... ah, I have to buy a souvenir!
And when he saw my sheath, Red returned his words with a bitter smile.
"Calm down. It's not settled yet. I think the Alliance will be asking for you again."
"Ok!! Speaking of which, Master Dragoon? Was that what you said?
"Well, it's like that, but not exactly. Sheath, can you see the ether and the magic flow?
"No. You know what? What do you mean?
"I see... I knew it was special. I see, I'll tell you about it slowly again."
That's how Red stood up.
"Well, I'm about to go."
Ah, isn't Master here to hear the results of this analysis?
The sheath pointed to the maid's arm on the table.
"I wish you'd listened to that. I'll see my old buddies soon. Finding out about the brave is my top priority."
"I understand."
Bye. Even though you've grown stronger, don't be reckless. "
"I know. I'll see you in Vail."
Ellios nodded forcefully in agreement with Irene's words.
I'll adjust the syringe to make it easier for Mr. Reed to move.
Reed smiled.
"I'm waiting for you!
The sheath returned to Redo with a serious face.
Ah, bye.
Raising his hand like that, Red left the scene.
Next up is the Cathedral of the Jorge Cross in King's City. Waiting there was Redo's former companion, the Virgin Elena.
