North □■End City Winter Orb

While the kingdom's masters were preparing for each of them in the Winter Orb, the escorted Azure Dragon and Elizabeth visited the mayor's residence accompanied by their escort, Hayato.

The mayor's daughter was scheduled to board the Laputa because Elizabeth said she wanted to pick her up.

Tsang Rong also wanted to thank the Mayor for his permission to dock, so the two of them and Suwa were here.

Motivation itself is childlike favor and action, but this is one diplomacy.

Winter Orbs are not cities where mayors are elected in civic elections. Even though the city has been transformed into a "city of Cardina", the Rogue family who ruled the city since the time of the city state have inherited the mayor.

Therefore, this meeting was said to be a diplomatic meeting between the Yellow River royalty, Alter royalty, and the Rogue family.

"We would like to welcome you to our city. Her Royal Highness the Blue Dragon, Her Royal Highness the Elizabeth."

"Welcome. Thank you for allowing us to dock. Mayor Rogue."

Fluffy Kanchan's madness.

The Spectral Rogue welcomed Tsang Rong and others to the mayor's residence, which was the setting for diplomatic talks.

He is the head of the Rogue family and the mayor of this city.

(Is this the mayor who has a deal with the First Prince? Hiccup.....)

Tsang Rong and Xu Yu who stood behind Elizabeth, but the face hidden in the talisman gave the mayor a slightly dubious look.

Mayor Rogue should have been in the mid-30s according to the documents.

However, by wrinkled skin and gray hair, it is even thirty years above the actual age.

Best of all, my eyes. There are neighborhoods that can't be hidden by makeup, and even in the midst of so much dark fatigue, there is a strange force in the shining eyes.

The thick black gloves fitted on both hands are also useful for the appearance of pressure.

I took off my gloves and shook hands with Tsang Rong, but for some reason, I opened my eyes at that moment, so I was even more scared.

(... a normal child will cry when he sees it)

In addition, the three children present here (including Xuanyu) did not cry.

[Dragon Emperor] and [Super], and an elizabeth whose liver was too strong for her age.

Even when my father's avenger, Franklin, kidnapped me, he spoke to me without telling me anything, and even before the suicide bombing of [King Flaming] in the previous capital, Peter was the girl who supported Tsang Rong. It is the spirit of steel.

(... I'll leave the security outside to Carbine and the city guards, but I'll take care of the inside.)

As an escort, Suwa couldn't ignore the mayor's peculiarity.

Be alert while paying attention to each and every one of your hands.

(This mayor doesn't look normal. It's not normal, but... it's not crazy except for my face, and I don't think there's anything malicious about Tsang and the others... Above all, it is unlikely to become a threat (...))

The atmosphere was strange, but the kinds of hostility and malice did not depend on the skill or Kubu's perception.

Although it can be seen that it is obviously not in a calm mental state, at least in the current situation, the mayor judged that it is "not an enemy".

Even so, the two of them and Mayor Rogue continue their conversation in a gentle manner as Kubu vigilantly warns them to move immediately if anything happens.

Their conversation presupposes the use of words as diplomacy, which is, to put it bluntly, a little longer, more circular, and more distance-measuring conversation.

I can't grasp it even if I am more adult than my age.

In other words, it is difficult to grasp the diplomacy of royalty and royalty, even if it is an empire and a city state, and even if it is a gifted person, it is difficult to grasp the details of the elementary school students' rapid feathers in detail.

(However, Tsang and Elizabeth seem to respond appropriately in such situations.)

Although I usually talked casually as friends, I was impressed that the two were princes and princesses who were educated by royalty and royalty.

That time lasted for a while, and while the three of them were talking, the diplomatic qualification gradually dropped.

By the time it became a public conversation, Kunihane could understand the contents.

Specifically, it was around the time that Tsang Loong and Mayor Rogue got to know each other about the First Prince.

First Prince Silver Dragon (Inlon).

The emperor gradually took over the government from his father, the emperor White Dragon (Pylon), and the next emperor, who is not designated as the "Crown Prince", currently handles much of the Yellow River.

He was Tsang Rong's older brother, and he had arranged for his return this time.

It seems that he and this Rogue mayor have been friends for ten years.

For the record, Xuwa was also benefiting from the relationship between the two of them.

The Silver Dragon and the Mayor of Rogue also have a thriving trade in Winter Orbs and the Yellow River.

The high-quality rare ore mined around the Winter Orb is a coveted item for Yellow River's magic artisans, and Xuanyu is one of the only ones to handle it.

Many high-performance talismans melt ore and paint it.

Anyway, the exchange with Mayor Rogue so far has been very friendly from the perspective of Xuanyu.

Is it because he is my friend's brother, or for some other reason?

Apart from his appearance, Mayor Rogue seems to have a natural preference.

“So it was the son of Mayor Rogue who boarded the Laputa.”

After diplomatic talks and public discussions, Tsang Loong gets the point out.

“Yes, my daughter Eileen is ten years old this year, but from an early age she was fascinated by the history and culture of your country and wanted to study in the Yellow River. His Highness the Silver Dragon has invited you to come and make arrangements like this."

"What is there to study in this world?" For a moment, Kusuwa thought, but in the first place, she remembered that Princess Altimia, Elizabeth's sister, had also studied in the Empire.

"I once had a friendly relationship with His Highness the Silver Dragon, but his studying abroad at Cardina was also important. In the same way, I hope my daughter can spread the word in other countries and gain friends for the rest of her life...”

Xuanyu said, "Was the First Prince also studying abroad? Even in Dendro, it's normal among the upper classes."

Umuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"Thank you for your generosity." My daughter will be delighted. ”

It is an elizabeth that is strong to push and full of action.

Kunihane was sure that she would become a friend as well.

In addition, at the beginning of the meeting, the Mayor of Rogue thanked Lady Eileen for her delay, as she seemed to be struggling with a little preparation.

◇

By the time the talks had progressed calmly and the whole story had been finished.

The Mayor of Rogue cut out a matter for us.

I'd like to speak to you, the prince of the Yellow River.

“What is it?”

"The bead of the treasure beast... One of the hidden treasures stolen from your country is in this city." I would like to return it (...) "



It was Xuanyu who was surprised by the statement.

I knew that the treasure stolen from the Yellow River was causing various incidents in Cardina.

Above all, in exchange for the Yellow River relinquishing its ownership, the Raputa, which is escorting Tsang Rong and the others, has been granted permission to fly within Cardina.

“There is no need to return them. The decision to relinquish ownership was made by your brother."

“It's not something we need to do. I thought I should do that.”

Mayor Rogue stares straight into Tsang Rong's eyes.

The expression was horrible, but serious and sincere.

(What do you want me to return?)

Xuanyu couldn't read the mayor's intentions and was creepy.

Like the “tournament” in the Kingdom, the value of the beads is very high.

There seemed to be no reason to let it go.

"... to be honest, I'm afraid that it's going to be the pull of some kind of incident."

It was unclear whether he had understood such an inner feeling, but that was what the Mayor of Rogue said.

“In Cortana, [UBM] was freed, causing a lot of damage. We were unsure whether we would be able to keep the pearls under control forever, and we thought we should return the pearls to the Yellow River, where they had been kept for hundreds of years before the incident.”

The explanation convinced Hayato as well.

Xuanyu looked at UBM from the perspective of being a master.

It has unique abilities and can be defeated to obtain perk weaponry.

I could use some of my abilities without having to defeat Pearl.

Therefore, I focused only on its benefits, but for the weak...... Tian is a dangerous being whose liberation is directly linked to death.

I'm trying to let go not to give in, but to pay back the disadvantages.

You can't say no to the Yellow River, the country where the pearls were originally stored and stolen.

"... I apologize on behalf of my father and brother for the inconvenience caused to your country by the theft of our pearls."

"Please raise your head." No need to apologize. ”

Tsang Rong says that and tries to bow his head, but Mayor Rogue stops.

“Fortunately, there are no problems in our city. In many cases, the lives of people in the city have been interrupted by the treatment of seriously injured people.”

In this Winter Orb is the Recovery Bead. He is a recovery skill at the senior level and above, and saves lives of those who were at risk in accidents and fighting monsters.

Therefore, the mayor of Rogue told that he did not necessarily send only calamities to Cardina.

"If you say so, you'll be saved..."

"Yes, but it's something that shouldn't be in this city anymore. I'll get it back to you."

At the request of Mayor Rogue, Tsang Rong also nodded.

"Okay, I'll take care of it." So, where are the pearls? "

"I'm currently using it in my clinic in town."

(... hey. It's a hidden treasure, isn't it? Can I put it out there?)

Xuanyu was stunned by the unexpected location of the beads.

It seemed that Tsang Rong and Elizabeth thought the same thing, and a surprise appeared on their faces.

Is it okay to stay in such a situation?

“We had to put it in the clinic for the seriously injured. Of course, I have a guard at the clinic. And by its very nature, this city is strictly vigilant to anyone who comes from outside. It hasn't been stolen to this day.”

I was caught by the phrase "by nature", but Xuanyu was convinced that it was also a mining area for rare ore.

“I'll be in touch to give it to you.”

I see. Master Suwa, can you pick it up later?

As he waved his tongue, Xu Yu nodded.

"Ahh. I'll send you guys to Laputa and then I'll go get it." If it looks like me, it won't even happen to the wrong person, right? "

I understand. I'll let you know that you're going to pick it up.

Since it was a response from Kaoru, Xuanyu spoke in the same tone as usual, but the Mayor of Rogue didn't seem to mind either. Master, you might already be convinced of that.

(I'm sorry about the face, but you're the mayor....)

When the whole story was over, Suwa had such an impression.

The door to the quadruple room was knocked on.

Father, we're ready.

"Eileen, come in. Say hello to the three of you."

The girl who seemed a little older than Elizabeth... was Eileen, the daughter of Mayor Rogue.

She was a beautiful girl with a thin thread.

However, my current outfit seems to move quite easily.

Raputa... I'm sure you're thinking of embarking on an exotic trip to the sky.

However, if there's only one oddity in appearance... both hands.

She also wears thick gloves similar to her father's on both hands.

The colour is white, but other than that, it is very similar.

Or perhaps it was the custom of the Rogue family.

“My name is Aileen Rogue, and I'm the daughter of the mayor of Winter Orb, Spectral Rogue. Thanking His Highness the Silver Dragon for his generosity, we have decided to join His Highness the Azure Dragon on their journey to study abroad. Thank you very much."

"I'm the Third Prince of the Yellow River Empire, Azure Dragon." We welcome you to study in Japan. ”

Elizabeth S (Sufain) Alter, Second Princess of the Alter Kingdom. Nice to meet you.

Tsang Rong and Elizabeth greeted Eileen graciously.

Kubuwa was watching the three of them, but inside she had one concern.

(What the hell is he paying attention to?)

Eileen greets naturally on the surface.

But with a little physical tensor, Rapunzel suspected.

It was before you, but it wasn't nervous.

It was a sign that "the young man is nervous before doing some big work".

(I didn't mean to assassinate Tsang and the others... bye-bye. As far as I can see, (...) like my father, I'm not following Job. So, did the First Prince have anything to do with using Grey for his study abroad legs?)

The mayor's own daughter had nothing against Tsang Rong and the others.

However, it is not an equation for "no plan".

(There are many things I can't read anyway... well, I can only do what I can.)

Few things can be done by a single combatant and only a friend of Tsang Rong and the others with regard to some kind of plot on their heads.

Still, what I can do... First I sent them to Raputa, then I thought I'd get this Winter Orb bead back.
