Heavenly Castle

Breathe quietly as you watch the sight reflected on the screen.

Inside the screen was a robot that blew up the soldiers around him instantly, showing Maire and Trane's back running well in the back.

Surrounded by soldiers, the flames with a discharge or some kind of spark covered the screen, but the robot quickly eliminated the enemy, and the Maires were not injured, apparently.

Nevertheless, the Maires, who leave their robots behind and run away, are clearly dangerous. The robot will be chasing us soon, but until then, we just have to pray that the two of us don't get impotent.

And, thinking about it, Eira, standing next to me, opened her mouth.

"... now, at least within two weeks, in the ears of the emperor..."

"Yeah. Because you said that city was an early horse and you'd be in Empire City in a week. The emperor might even reach the kingdom of the sky."

Answering that, Eira nods with a difficult face.

Anyway, two mysterious cat beasts with a golem of unusual strength kidnap an elf. Whatever you think, you'll decide there's someone behind it.

Do you see it as an individual or organization contrary to the Empire, or as an insurrection in Aifa?

No, the emperor must have even thought of the kingdom of the sky just by listening to that golem.

Now the plan has come up with a great need to bring it forward.

I turn my face to Ella and exhale briefly.

"I don't have a choice. I've been thinking about the possibility of this happening, and let's hurry up and hold down the elves' place in the Empire. In the meantime, if we can help that city's elves, why don't the Maires come back here?"

When she said that and smiled bitterly, Eira nodded slowly.

"Mr. Trane seems fine, but I don't think Maire's very good for covert behavior. Mair left it here, and now I..."

"No, you can't do that"

That's what I told Eira, who talks to me like she's ready, and Eira's eyes turned round.

And I smile bitterly again, shaking my neck left and right.

"In Eira's case, someone might know her face. Although it's imperial territory, Maires who lived secluded to the border are better suited to infiltrate."

With that said, Eira nodded at me with disapproval.

To be honest, there were also concerns that if we found Eira, who was the princess of the Atul kingdom because of her ties to the Empire, the Atul kingdom might also face the spearhead of the Empire.

And most importantly, I can't imagine that kind of sight where a little pee-pee Eira infiltrates the Empire City and successfully helps out the elves.

I turned a troubled grin on Eira with such disrespect.

The number of passers-by gradually increased. The soldiers with the elves are in sight, but are unlikely to catch up soon.

"Get him!"

"I don't mind slashing you!

I hear murderous voices coming from all directions. The soldiers with the elves are running away and voicing themselves and gathering the soldiers around.

You can't deal with them all at once, but well-reacted soldiers and others are pulling out their swords and hanging them up. I put out a knife and bounced back that sword, scratching my arm trying to catch me and running.

You hear a sword striking at each other right behind you, and the next moment a creeping man's voice sounds. It's your mother. She's hunting me down to the soldier who played the sword.

Thanks to you, it hasn't been like being chased from behind by another soldier.

Mother always does. He doesn't say anything, he wipes my ass of failure. And make my mistake right so I can tell you gently later.

Regrettably.

I seemed to think I could do anything without knowing it.

She was praised for her chores, taught to cook to Eira, the princess, and Yuri praised her for her magical talents.

And this time, Master Tyki has asked me to participate in an elf rescue play. I owe Lord Tyke his golem, too.

On my own, I was complacent about being alone.

I'm embarrassed and tearful.

I ran with my expensive emotions caged in my legs as they were. Avoid the sword coming toward you, play it with a knife, and jump up and shout at the flying soldier.

It gradually followed the elves and the soldiers surrounding them.

"I would never miss it!

That's what I scream for and accelerate even further. The soldier's back is already in front of him.

"Mair! Be careful!

I heard your mother screaming from the rear.

Reflectively, I roll sideways in one foot. Shortly after rolling over the hard ground from his shoulders and regaining his position and raising his face, a large fire column rose right in front of him.

Unexpectedly distracted by the blazing flames.

And I noticed. That flame is a magic trick used to attack the Golem earlier.

Apparently one of the fleeing soldiers threw it without me noticing either. Are those soldiers exceptionally elite?

"You're in danger."

Turning to the words, there was your mother. Mother looks to the soldiers fleeing with a harsh look on her face.

"I rang because I saw signs they were going to do something, but I'm glad they made it"

That's how she muttered, and your mother laughed gently at me.

"... mother, me, the..."

I tried to apologize, but I don't have a good voice. Then my mother, who was looking at me like that, narrowed her eyes sharply and raised her face.

"You won't have time to talk, Maire? Now it's time to catch them."

When her mother said so, as she had predicted, Lady Tyke's golem stood next to her.

"... yeah. Now I'm gonna chase you."

I stood up and said so.
