Legend

I guess you feel your surrounding gaze gathering on you. But Elaine doesn't stop worrying about that, and turns her gaze to the target who must have caused this commotion.
Renozis Immerhen. He is the next head of the Marquis Immerhen family, and he has strength but a strong tendency to look down on others.
Reminds me of the character of the person in front of me like that, while exerting magic on the jointed sword I had in my hand and returning it to its normal state and into the sheath of my hips.
"If you think there's some commotion going on... Renojis, what are you doing to my men and my guests?
Vikri.
Renodis' body reacts unintentionally to that word, whining without even being able to include a shard of emotion.
Basically, Renogis, who thinks others are used by him, but just not foolish enough to defy the courtier of the Duke of Keller, who is a superior nobleman and central figure of the aristocracy than he is. And even in battle, Elaine decides it's more dangerous to keep making a commotion like this than being opponents of herself and each other. Above all, he's the one who's going to be his wife in the future.
Most importantly, we judge each other in battle only because of the high pride of Renodis, but it was also true that if we could admit it, we would not have the same personality as we have today.
Shake your head small with a grin, keeping the sword cut in the middle of your torso.
"Dear Elaine, your beautiful face will be ruined if you look so harsh. What's that..."
With that said, turn your gaze toward Ara and the others.
I understood that saying Ara turned against herself on this occasion would make Elaine uncomfortable. Anyway, Ara is Elaine's best friend from a very young age. A fox that borrows the authority of a tiger if you try it Renodis... No, it only looks like a lizard that borrows the authority of a dragon, but I still wanted to avoid damaging Elaine's mood that I'm after to make her my own wife in the future. And that gaze is directed to Ray, who was next to Ara.
(It seems that it is some kind of magic item that is wrapped around me, but it doesn't seem to be a high-ranking magic item. The outfit worn under the robe is also extremely poor. I mean, he's not a nobleman... when he's in this place that would be a battlefield, he's probably an adventurer)
Instantly turn your gaze to Ray and decide so.
Ray's ability to see the dragon robe he's wearing as a magic item rather than a regular robe would be a manifestation of Renodis prowess. However, even if I could tell it was a magic item, I couldn't understand how much of a delicacy the dragon robe was because it was highly concealed?
"Because the adventurer style there didn't speak for itself. I thought I'd do a little trick."
To Renodis' words, Elaine's eyebrows slightly distort.
When she saw it, Ara was throwing an all-out cursing murmur at Renodis, who had stepped through the mines with no more in her heart.
Indeed, Ray looks incomparable with Renodis, a nobleman in appearance. But Ray is the one that Elaine, her own master, admires. Especially since I dispatched Yellow to the city of Gilm, I didn't know it would insult Ray more than it did in front of Elaine, who began to show her face as a maiden.
(We need to somehow put this place away...)
It's always Ara who runs first, but I knew exactly what would happen if Elaine and Renozis were to make a duel noise on this occasion. I guess it's growing more around here than before.
"The adventurer is my acquaintance. I take it that pointing a sword at that acquaintance naturally means the same to me?
"… no, if you are an acquaintance of Elaine, let me put this place to rest."
Whatever the adventurer, he must have realized the foolishness of cutting head-to-head with Elaine. Renodis pulls the broken sword back into his sheath mid-way through his body.
However, I didn't forget to stare at Ray with a sharp eye at the end.
(Me, isn't this totally irrelevant? Why are you staring at me?
As for Ray, as I whined inside, this is an event that went on and resolved somewhere completely unrelated to me. But why can you see yourself instead of Ara who caused it? Although I still think that if I was to be entangled in aristocracy because of the cause... I could just tell the difference between not saying it on this occasion.
But if it sounds like Renodis, it's going to be even more troublesome, which is the biggest cause I can't say.
"I'm sorry, Master Elaine. I've caused unwanted trouble."
"You don't have to worry about it. That guy's behavior was just beyond my sight, so it would have been convenient to reject him for stabbing the nail here.... it's been longer than that, Ray."
Elaine snorted at Arla for eagle fried, grinning and voicing at Ray, who approached her.
Those who watched a series of events around them at the same time were unintentionally shocked to see Elaine's floating smile, both male and female.
It's not a laugh as a princess general. Because I instinctively understood that it was a grin as one woman named Elaine Kelevel.
In doing so, I continue to wonder who was turned on that grin, but even if the majority of those who did not know Ray's name were adventurers with Griffon, it was a topic that was known to more than 100,000 Mireana Royal Army members in order to stand out. Along with rumors that Ray is the hidden ball of the neutral, Larks Borderline Uncle, which Dusker decided was inevitable to stand out.
"Oh. You look fine there, above all. I was a little nervous about sending back the yellow, but I see you've arrived safely."
"Right. I also read a letter from Ray.... Well, there's been a lot of other gains."
I thought of Kenny and Lenora, who I saw through the porn only for a moment in Elaine's brain, but it was only for a moment, so I didn't have anything in the atmosphere. But...
(Dear Elaine......)
Try Ara, who has been dating Elaine since childhood, and I quickly understood how that was different.
Still, I guess I won't say anything in particular because I'm still Arla, who's heartbroken with Elaine.
"Well, whatever you're talking about in a place like this anyway. Why don't you come to my tent? I'd like to know what Ray's been up to since then."
Elaine's tent. Once again, the surroundings shrug at the words. The adventurers, knights and soldiers around Elaine and the others are not quite sure, but it was only natural in some ways that surprises would run to the nobles who knew what that meant. Anyway, that beauty has never been Elaine without a man's shadow on her back. Or even if I ever called a man into my room, that was only meant to bring in my men and colleagues as Elaine the Princess General. But no one is going to think of Elaine like that because they're looking at Elaine's smile a few seconds ago.
"Right, right. I do want to do that even with me..."
Ray turns his gaze to the sky as he whines. It's still early to call it a sunset, but I can still see it coming in at dusk in the afternoon.
"Hmm? What's up? You had some business to attend to? I'm not saying I can't."
"... no, no problem. However, I only have about half an hour because I have to prepare a meal or something, but do you mind?
I was Elaine, who seemed to miss that word of Ray for just a moment, but it disappears in an instant. At the next moment we go back to our usual Elaine and nod when there is no problem.
"Of course I don't mind. Even this one, Ray, hired by Lord Dusker, can't say I can't."
That's what I said, keep trying to guide Ray forward.
"Come on, Lord Ray. Let's go too. Elaine's tent lies ahead of us."
"Right. Seto."
"Gru."
Answering Ray's call, Seto also waves his tail and puts a yellow on his back, proceeding inside the aristocratic camp as though it were his walkway.
There were a wide variety of sights that the people who would drop off. Those who turn a startling look at Ray for following a high-ranking monster named Griffon, those who envy being able to converse with beauties like Elaine, and those who are blinded by Yellow, who is also a small dragon on Seto's back.... and the gaze of multiple nobles that adventurers cannot be allowed to hang a cheerful word against the princess general, who is also a symbol of their own aristocracy.
With that gaze on her back, Ray and the others are led by Elaine to move on.
(Ten colors for nobility, huh?)
It was Ciminar Gupsos we met on the hill that was past Ray's brain whining inside. Whatever the difference between the Counts and the Marquis, the way they had treated each other so amicably that they were not comparable to Renojis had given rise to a strong surprise in the lay once again. Most of all, that would still be because the two nobles we had encountered just before were at both extremes.
I guess I found myself thinking that way. Ara also goes on to remain silent without saying anything in particular...... Eventually, one tent comes into Ray's sight.
"Heh, this again"
The tent used by Dusker, Ray's employer, was also a luxurious creation and a type of magic item. Even then it was Ray who opened his eyes to surprise, but what is now in front of him is clearly a magic item on the grid rather than a disgusting color compared to what Dusker was using...
"Because I really need this kind of glory, even more than working as a princess general. And so do the carriages you know."
Carriages and horses standing by the tent. It is normal for horses like military horses and luggage horses to be collected in the same place, but Elaine's horses were connected to the side of the tent as a special case because they have a side as military horses with varietal improvements using magic, and a watchful role for those who sneak into Elaine's tent at night - including those who crawl at night and assassins of the Vestian Empire.
"Come on in. Let me talk to you for a cup of tea. Oh, of course, I don't mind if Seto comes in."
Only Elaine, who knows the relationship between Ray and Seto, opens the entrance to the tent without any particular concern.
Even for Elaine, it was her behavior to see that her beloved horse, created as a first-class military horse, cared about Seto.
I was with him when I went to the dungeon before, but he wasn't used to Seto, who is still a griffon for some time. Besides, in this case, I am not used to Seto's existence because he is a military horse with a high ability to detect danger. In the stables of the wheat pavilion at dusk, where Ray is now staying in the city of Gilm, the horses and other submissive demons get used to the presence of Seto in a few days at first anyway... rather than the sense of crisis paralyzes and makes no noise. I guess the fact that it's still not completely calm shows Seto's presence.
"Grrrrrrrr"
Even for Seto, he enters the tent with his throat rattling just because he has no particular objection because he has no intention of scaring the military horse.
And...
"I thought it was pretty good from the outside, but when we actually go inside, it's like it's different from the tent we're using."
Ray squeaks like he was impressed as he looks around in the tent.
From the outside, it only looked like a tent about 10 tatami in size, but once inside, the room is lightly over 20 tatami. And even for the furniture in the tent, it's not very much like using it in the battlefield. Compared to the carriage on the table of this tent, which Ray used before when heading out to the dungeon, it can be described as quite a sumptuous interior.
"It's a gift from your father. Anyway, it's not uncommon for me to head out to the battlefield beyond what I'm called a princess general or something. That said, this is the first time I've been given this tent."
"... because this tent was prepared as a reward for Master Elaine's successful ritual of inheritance. Originally Elaine was also a symbol of the aristocracy as a princess general, but now she has the power of an enchanted dragon. So I suppose there was some thought that when they used that power, they wouldn't let the others see it with weird eyes. Because this tent is one of the magic items that the Duke of Kelp has, and if it is, it is one of the things that the Lord should inherit."
I guess you thought Elaine's words weren't enough. Spin words as Ara prepares her tea to supplement it.
"Right. Especially since I don't think this war will end in a skirmish like before. I guess that's why Father gave me this tent that was passed down to our house, too."
"... The Duke of Kelevel wants Elaine to come back safely. That is why I have sent Master Filma, who is also your right arm and the Knight Commander of the Knights of the Duke of Kelp. Come on, I made you some tea, so come on over to the couch."
Ray and Elaine sit back on the couch in the tent as Ara prompts them. And Seto, who rolls to the floor on Ray's side.
I remember when she used to go to the dungeon, and Ara put a cup of tea on the table with a slight smile on her face.
