Magic Gems Gourmet

The day after Heim's departure from the port.

Ishtarika's fleet with Ain had arrived on the island one foot away.

As numerous fleets lined up, Ain disembarked from Princess Olivia had come to see how the twins were doing.

The time is just around the time when the sun rises and the morning sun shines in the sea.

"... Honey, you guys have grown up"

"Curlua......!

"Gaw! Gaw!

Twin heads floating on the water.

As always, Katima's nutritious meal. You might as well call it a magic modification.

With the effects of that diet, or the twins who grew up dull, it seems that the total length is already over 30m.

And my sister, Elle, remains the same, but my brother, Al, seems to have begun a slight vocal change.... I just don't hang up a bit.

The reason the twins came along was to provide escorts.

It was the twins who listened faithfully to their orders that brought them to this occasion with trust.

"Hey, Ain. I just heard that you were never quite like a demon until you got here."

"--... Huh? I think we had quite a distance, but never really?

Under Ain, who was the twin opponent, comes Krone.

"Yep. It's probably no joke that El and Al are the main players in this neighborhood..."

Krone crouches next to Ein and looks at Ein alternately with the twins.

"As a matter of fact, we have also heard from the fishermen. Anything, even when I went fishing, I stopped seeing small demons."

Then it was Chris who kept coming.

Chris' information has also been heard by Ain in the past. However, that seems to be a remarkable manifestation these days.

"Heh... So I guess we're on a little expedition when we hunt."

It's growing well, so there won't be a problem with the meal.

If so, you must be able to hunt for something.

Krone and Chris were soaking up the soothing air when they saw Ain playing with the twins.

Thinking that lasted for a few minutes, Ain gets up and opens his mouth.

"... and it's a really amazing sight"

Off sight of the twins, see the moored Ishtarika fleet.

Sitting in the center is the White King.

A battleship driven by King Ishtarika, it has the strength regarding defense and attacks, in addition to the largest of the battleships currently in Ishtarika.

It was a battleship loaned by Silvado when Ain headed to Euro.

Where Ain't already destroyed it has been repaired.

And to the left and right are two ships, Princess Olivia, Princess Katima.

Although inferior to the White King, it is nevertheless a battleship at the apex in Ishtarika.

Naturally, it's bigger than a regular battleship, and the way those three ships line up gives them a strong sense of intimidation.

With all the battleships gathered from many ports around the three ships, the momentum was no longer likely to destroy a small country in a matter of hours.

"Yep. In the unlikely event of an order, we will destroy Heim's" port town "immediately."

"... because you don't give orders, do you?

Haim's harbour town...... how local, Ein sighed.

Chris has doubled his feelings for Heim.

Because of that, it looks even more polished this time.

"Hey, hey... It's time to go, Grandpa and I will be waiting for you."

"Right. Shall we take a look down at the facility where we can do it?"

"I'm looking forward to seeing it for the first time too"

Thus Ein, accompanied by Krone and Chris, went towards the facility where he could.

The island's climate is warm and the waves are mild.

In more detail, the wind speed is not severe and the shape is flat.

I mean, there were all the conditions that weren't bad enough to use for the talks.

"Grandpa. We're back now."

"Oh, Ain't that right? How'd it go with the twins?

Ahn headed for the big stone conference room.

It is located in the center of the facility where it can be made, and on the left and right side, for both countries, there is a holding room, etc.

At the same time as we get to this spot, Krone goes under Warren.

And Chris headed under Olivia.

"It was always the same. Speaking of which, you didn't see a single demon."

"Um, I was surprised to hear the rest of that. Even if I miss it, it doesn't make a difference to a sea dragon. If so, I guess I can still say king of the sea plains."

Ein nods at the words, too, and looks over to the Great Conference Room.

"... you're beautifully made"

The floor is covered with a bright red carpet and the stone used is made of white material loved by Ishtarika.

Large windows, too, are covered in unspoilt glass, a space that can be understood as never cheap.

"Wherever we are, we must behave as Ishtarika. You can't imitate things like that."

Well put, proud. Would it look good, to put it badly?

Though perceived differently by the way he thinks, Ain't got no objection to that opinion.

"But you're emotional, Ain't. Anyway, it's finally a meeting with them."

"... right"

For sure, Ain's ex-family is coming too.

Especially when you think about Logus, what look do you get... I don't even know that.

I'm not willing to speak of resentment, but it could make a difference in my feelings when it comes to the earthen.

"I heard they're coming in large numbers there, too. Now, it would be a sight to see what kind of words are lined up."

Ein hears the words and laughs bitterly.

"During the talks, I just hope it doesn't come backwards"

"Ha-ha-ha! You're right!

To Ain's words, Silvard laughed in a good mood, too.

"It's Ain, by the way. Are you nervous?

"... what do you think?

What mood is Ain in right now?

The reason I asked that was because Logus and Grint are coming.

"Don't return a question with a question..."

To Ein, who replied unclearly, Silvard speaks with a bewildered look.

"As a matter of fact, I don't really get it. However, I don't think it will become mentally unstable..."

"... then fine. Ain't grown, too."

When Silvard says so, he strokes Ain's head.

Even though Ein has also grown a lot in body, Silverado is still bigger.

"Oh, Grandpa! I'm not a child anymore!

"Say what. No matter how old you are, Ain't gonna be the rest of your grandkids."

With a smile that reassures the beholder, Silvard continues his words.

"... So you're saying that even if I'm 50 or something, it's the same?

"As long as the rest is alive, it won't be any different"

Listen to that, Ain't gonna show you how you gave up.

Silvard sees it and looks at Ain with pleasure.

... and when he does so with Silvard, Katima shows up looking careless.

"Ha... why do you have to come all the way to me"

I don't have a heart or I'm less energetic at the tail angle than usual.

The footsteps also look heavy somewhere.

"Father. It's not too late. Can I go home?

I looked at Silvard with hopeful eyes and Katima said so.

But the hope will be crushed with clams.

"... I would have said it many times. I can't allow that."

"Hey, why not!? I don't think there's any point in me being here!

Yes. It certainly makes little sense.

Katima doesn't have a job to do because Warren and the others are partitioning the talks.

But still, it makes sense that Katima was brought here.

"Come on, I want you to tell me! How could you bring me to such an island...!?

Ein knew how it was.

Because Silvard seemed spicy in his mouth, Ain glanced at Silvard and gave him eyes when he spoke.

"You know, Mr. Katima.... that's why I brought you here."

"Huh!? Are you going to tell me?

—— It's more depressing to get close...

Seeing Katima clinging around her hips, Ein thinks so.

But I put up with it, and I said, "Why did you bring me here?"

"... No, because if no one stops Katima, it's dangerous."

--... Huh?

Katima looks embarrassed, but that's really why I brought her here.

Those who have come to this island this time are all those who can stop Katima.

Laralua is in the castle, ready for business. But I need a little more power to stop Katima.

... then you can't leave Katima in Ishtarika.

"He says it's dangerous if you let him go too wild... right?

"Oh, they brought me here for that reason...? It's like you're worried your pet's going to make a rough phase, so do you want to connect it to a chain...?

I have a shocking look on my face for a long time, but I have no lies in my earlier words.

Then a little bit, Katima fell to the floor to melt.

"I'm losing my strength... Please, I need you to take me to the ship."

Silvard holds his head in such a way that his queeniness cannot even feel fine dust.

"Dilu! Sorry, will you come over here?

Shout it out, Ain't calling Dill.

Then you noticed that voice, Dill came running.

"What is it?

"I'm sorry. Will you take Mr. Katima to the ship?

Dill, who hears it, notices Katima dissolving on the floor.

I looked surprised, naturally, but immediately reverted to a sober look.

"... I don't know what happened, but I understand."

"I'm sorry. Ask for my daughter..."

Silvado blushed shyly and spoke to Dill.

"I'll take care of it. --Master Katima, if you'll excuse me."

"… it's troublesome. I'm begging you."

- What are you talking about?

Ein thought so, but Dill nodded and gave her permission because she had been looking at him to see what to do.

"So, if you'll excuse me..."

The look of Katima being held by Dill and obsessed with as she says.

Katima, put on her back, just gives her a powerless look.

"Uh... it's just fine. Okay, please."

"I'm awed...... So, sire. Dear Ein, I beg your pardon."

And Dill leaves this conference room behind with Katima on his back.

A beautiful man like Dill carrying a giant cat.

But that's never going to be a picture.

"Ein. Don't you think it's a good idea to ask Dill for Katima when things happen?

Speak as if it were a good idea, but Ain't got no answer.

"Grandpa? Pushing doesn't mean doing anything."

"... you were"

By the time Ain finished checking the island's facilities, etc., the time was around past noon.

A few hours late for Ishtarika, a line of heims finally arrives.

"That's Ishtarika's fleet..."

Elena disembarked from the ship, from the fleet in front of her, no longer distracted from her sight.

A bigger battleship than I imagined...... The last time I went to Ishtarika, I couldn't see it, it was a ship dedicated to the Royal Ishtarika.

Not only that there are three of them, but the sight of many battleships lined up that were not in Magna is just a roll.

Not only was Elena confused by the sight, but the same thing happened to Logas and the others.

"Huh...! It would just be big, not a big threat!

Still, to the mighty tiggle, Elena also has respect through the shudder.

"Oh... you're right! If we had the courage of Heim, it wouldn't even be such a thing, an obstacle!

Then Grint opened his mouth.

The gaze and footprint were obscure, but only the tone showed strong.

"Cur......?

"Gaw......?

"Oh, hey! What the heck are these guys...!

You were interested in the ship coming, or the twin sea dragons dropping by nearby.

The two heads approaching in a huge figure were watching the Tiggles.

"Cu?"

"Gaw, gaw..."

When you put your face on the water, the twins raise their voices to talk about something.

The knights of Heim stand forward to defend Tiggle, with fear.

When Logus stands in front of him, he pulls out his sword and increases his vigilance.

"Your Highness, stand back."

"Ugh, um! Please, Logus!

—— but what a big demon.

In my heart, I think about two heads.

I wonder how strong they are and what kind of demon they are......

That's how when I was glued, one man raised his voice.

"El, Al! Your Highness is here for you!

Tiggle looks in the direction in which the voice speaks and asks who came.

And the man who came was a man he had seen himself too.

Anyway, he was acting as Ain's escort, because he's a man named Dill.

"Cua!?

"Gaw!"

Then he dived into the sea vigorously, and returned to those with Ain.

"Culluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

But when Elle left, he threw up water on Haim's ship.

From the Heim people, it just seemed like they threw up water, but Dill has another feeling.

Obviously, you spit on me......

"The two earlier heads are demons kept by His Royal Highness Prince Wang and do no harm to men"

At this time, I decided not to look at Elle's position.

Meanwhile, Grint also notices the Lord of his voice and sends his gaze to the man to stare.

"My name is Dill. I am the exclusive escort of His Royal Highness Prince Wang."

"Eh... Chi, Father! That man is the one who fought me in Euro......!

Grint mouthed like this with a grumpy voice as he approached Logus.

"... I see. Is that a guy named Dill?"

That said, Logus observes Dill standing.

My son, who was no enemy, is the one who has lost by no skin.

I couldn't have been uninterested.

"We will guide you to the facilities that have been built. Please, come here."

Without worrying about the agitation of Heim's line, Dill advances his legs.

Tiggle, on the other hand, was in a bad mood for Dill's failure to apologize about the twins earlier.

"Wait, your father and brother haven't come down yet."

King Heim and the first prince Rayphone were still in the boat.

Tiggle tells Dill about it.

"I'll show the two of you on the boat later --"

"If so, I would like to be guided by Heim after I finish the guide now. I'll be at your disposal for further guidance."

—— Go ahead, this way.

That's what Dill says, and continues to guide you without stopping your legs.

In the first place, I don't have the in-laws or the need to do that.

"--Ku......!

Tiggle, with his frustration on his face, tried to point that out as disrespectful.

But when I saw the dill that kept going, I decided to keep it down.

"By the way, is that disrespectful Prince Wang here?

It was just a prank.

What a reaction a man named Dill would return if he told him that.

That was just the word, but Dill, hearing the word, stops his leg.

"... yeah, of course. Our Royal Highness Prince Wang holds official duties without being flushed by personal affection. So we're still here today."

Dill was a little sarcastic about Tiggle's deeds at Euro.

That's the story of a sudden arrival without communication and an intrusion into a conference in another country.

But to this extent of irony, unfortunately, does not work on Tiggle's ears.

When Dill tells it, he immediately moves his legs forward.

"Hmm. That's okay, there was a last time. There are so many things to say."

--... what kind of nerves are you on?

Dill couldn't understand what Tiggle said, as he purposefully incited.

I doubt you understand the meaning of this meeting, even that.

Then Logus opened his mouth as he watched how things were going.

"Lord Dill or something? I want to ask you one thing."

It was surprising that he would open his mouth.

Dill stops again and now looks back and sees Logus.

"What is it?

"... um. Somehow, there's one thing."

"Go ahead. Don't hesitate."

Seeing as I'm trying to tell you, Dill urges me to continue.

"... Is Olivia here?

—— Oh, that's just not right.

Logus abandoned Olivia's name.

Hearing that, Dill tells Logus something else before answering the question.

"It's disrespectful to call it off. Her Royal Highness Princess Olivia is the second princess of my Ishtarika. I'm sorry, but I'm not the kind of person nobles can call out to."

Be resolute and tell it to Logus.

"... oh, you did. Apologize for your disrespect."

But Logus honestly apologized for betraying Dill's expectations.

Honestly, it's just a slap out.

"Okay. Then be careful next time."

If I were you, I wouldn't be able to write it off with that one-word apology.

However, given the current situation, I decided that it would be best to do so.

If Chris had been here, he would have definitely cut it. That's what Dill thought.

"-- We will answer your questions. Her Royal Highness Princess Olivia is also in need. But please note that this does not mean that we can meet."

This is how Dill pushes in case something goes wrong.

"... Can't you do something with one word"

What will I tell you now?

Look at the eating Logus, Dill thinks.

"At least, it's not something I can judge"

In the meantime, let's avoid making explicit statements.

In fact, it's also not something that can be judged by Dill alone.

"Well, if Ain't... --"

It was then, when Dill reached for the sword he lowered to his waist.

"Huh...!?

Logus also sees the motion, reaching toward the sword.

Unconsciously, Dill regretted reaching for the sword.

Had I held the sword, I would have been in trouble.

"Lord Logus. Master Ain is our King Prince. They are not opponents that the aristocrats may call aside. … distressing, but since then, I will refrain from answering Lord Logus' questions"

"... sorry"

—— Again.

How can you apologize right away, Dill wonders again.

I don't even understand the shards of what you want to tell me now.

... If this were to happen, I wanted him to be a "nasty guy" from the start.

The impression Dill had of Logus is a man I'm not sure about. That was just it.

"Lord Logus. Let's settle down for once, shall we?... because I know exactly what it feels like"

"Lord Elena...... Oh, I'm sorry. It wasn't even in the pattern, it seemed to have lost its cool."

Elena speaks up, as if defending Logus' demeanor.

—— That woman is Elena...... Lord Krone's mother?

Dill listens to the exchange between the two and turns to a woman named Elena.

What reunion will it be with Krone in the talks? Dill can't help but worry about that.

"… I will continue to guide you. Please, come here."

But the first priority is the work I've been entrusted to do.

Sometimes it disturbed my feelings, but let's stay focused and get to work.

Think so, change your mind.
