Lynne holds the cylinder and runs out toward the burning city where the dragon stands.
"- One, go on!
A moment late Mr. Yumika's voice sounds, holding a big bag and following Lynne.
But most of the crew couldn't even get up on the ground, and only four men and three elves followed the two captains.
Against the shadow of a giant dragon that is illuminated by a burning flame, the figure of the six mixed units of humans and elves standing up is too small.
Other than Mr. Yumika, just one human crew member joined the assault. The flag of the troops that the man who says he is Yumika's lover is flying is enough to look like a single petal.
That flag was conceived of by my sister and Rhina, and it was a stitched (no) up force by my sister over about 10 days, and it's pretty big.
Inspired by the sun and moon that symbolize man and elf, it is designed to shine side by side in the sky to illuminate the earth.
I'm not sure why humans are the sun and elves are the moon, but I think the flag itself is a good design, and it's cherished as given to the troops by Eina, the king of humans, and me, the king of elves.
The six men, with their flags and weapons for the anti-dragon, rush to the city with all their might.
It's a stunning disease to say that the fast track training that was scattered along the road was for this time of day.
"The dragon takes a while to spit the flame once, so that's a good opportunity to attack (broom)," he tells me, "but even so, even if he knows in his head, the 51 remaining troops can't move into the ground or into front of the dragon that showed overwhelming power.
Incidentally, the flame story was a bright red lie, and according to Shella, 'If you're about four or five times, you can keep throwing up'.
Well, that's where Shella should take care of it, so it won't be a problem.
... Me and Rhina, Eina and Nina. As the pharmacist and his sister, who came next to me (to be) resting their working hands, stood and sent their gaze to the bravery (yushi) of Lynne and the others, eventually the six figures would melt into the flaming light and become invisible, then after a while they would hear a 'pong' and a sound.
And almost at the same time, a blue-green fireball exploded near Shella's face, a few seconds late and said, 'Don!' And the explosion sounded.
- That's a launch fireworks in what the original world calls a weapon for the dragon. It's powdered with copper powder.
Knowledge of gunpowder is a policy of keeping it as secret as possible, but I can't help but think of this as the only thing I could come up with when they say it's a flashy performance that repels dragons and shows them off.
It's a weapon for nominal vs. dragon, but it's actually a fireworks for peaceful use, so I think it's within the limits of what's critically acceptable.
I have no complaints about how flashy it is.
We only teach pharmacists how to make gunpowder, too, so when the pharmacists die, we plan to wipe them out together. I trust the pharmacists around here.
Linne and the others are shooting fireworks from outside the city walls, apparently with good aim.
Shella, who suffered an explosion of fireworks directly next to her face, makes a reluctant squeal, and when she continues and the other explodes in her neck, she spreads her wings wide like she couldn't stand it, winging hard and raising her body.
With that breeze, the city of Malattle burst up like a red tornado, blowing up a burning building to unfold a terrible sight.
Shella then flies at low altitude toward the Daphra Royal Army on the other side of the river as planned, jumping over its head and disappearing into the eastern sky.
... Honestly. The series of sights was so horrible that even I knew Shella was a companion and an actor that my body was so horrible.
Only Lynne knows what's going on in the anti-Dragon unit, but it would still have taken tremendous courage to storm that scene. And the rest of the crew, including Yumika, followed suit.
... I can say that for once everything was carried as planned, though.
As she waited for Shella's figure to disappear, Eina, who remained caught in her sister's arms, opened her mouth feeling terrified.
"Yoichi, what is that... that fireball that repelled the dragon?
... Yeah, I knew you cared.
"Uh, I say fireworks because they look like fireflowers in the sky. The ingredients imparted the magic of the fire attribute to the crushed demon stone, and I mixed it all together to make it look like that. It would be easier to see them in color, wouldn't it?
In fact, even though it was daytime, I could see clearly. I think it would have been pretty (beautiful) if it had been the night sky.
But Eina doesn't seem to be interested in it.
"Is that fireworks really powerful enough to get rid of dragons?
"No way, that was Shella running away from me because she hated me for acting. It's not really very powerful."
Shella actually saw the test shot, but she said, 'I don't care if it bursts in my mouth.'
Nevertheless, gunpowder is gunpowder, so of course I take full care in handling it. Fire is strictly prohibited.
To my explanation, Eina keeps asking questions with a pale complexion.
"... but that can be a special weapon against balloons and gliders, right?
- Yeah, maybe if you ask me. Because it sprinkles sparks, it will do a lot of damage to balloons and gliders made of thin vinyl bark.
"That's... maybe it is. I don't make a lot of money launching heights, so it's going to be hard to hit."
"But it's enough for base defense, and we can load it into balloons and gliders and shoot it?
Whoa, Mr. Eina, you're still spinning your head fast.
"Maybe, but it's also dangerous because it sprays sparks when you shoot it. Besides, it's not that much of a pompous shooter because the material is so valuable and the production is so limited."
I manage to run to delusion, but Mr. Eina doesn't seem very convinced.
"... Was this what you used to say that even if your knowledge of balloons and gliders crossed over to your enemies, you had the technique (even) to counter them?
"Uh... yes... is that right?
Mr. Eina is only talking about when he set up the kingdom of Pharos as his ally by ousting the army of the Kingdom of Siddhar and the army of the Idra Empire.
What I assumed then was a cannon and not a launch fireworks, but it would be similar in terms of using gunpowder.
... that? Did I reply then that I had the skill to fight it?
I just remember denying it. Eina seemed strongly suspicious when she saw my reaction... but was this camouflaged?
He's still a man who can't be alarmed. And maybe my reaction now also seems to reveal that the launch fireworks were not the countermeasure I had envisaged at that time.
But Eina will not pursue it any further. On the contrary, with a contemplative expression, he utters words with a complexion that even dwells somewhere in fear.
"- Yoichi. Again, I swear I will never turn my back on your intentions, so please. May I and your sister have mercy and deep leadership..."
... Eina lowered her head in a more threatening manner than I was threatening Eina, and she could now kneel (kneel first).
... Oh well. That would be such a reaction if they showed us in front of us the tools that would render the balloons and gliders they had ever considered an absolute advantage over other countries powerless in an instant.
"Yes, no. It's okay. I'm counting on Eina, and I always get help from Reina. So keep your head up."
Though I hide my identity as a king for once, this is not a good idea where others are.
Although I have managed to get my head up, I will accompany my sister and Rhina to retrieve Shella so that she can escape Ayna, who is still turning her gaze on me.
... This isn't very good, to be honest.
As much as I'm somewhat afraid, it's easy and helpful to ask for things. That could lead to rebellion. In fact, I know a few people in history who were murdered that way by their men.
I thought your relationship with Eina was good here, but it's starting to feel a little disturbing again.
As long as my perception of Eina is a demon king with an incomprehensible knowledge of being your sister's employer, I guess I can't escape mistrust.
What can I do to get you to trust me? Is that really the only way you're gonna have a hand in marrying the two of us or something?
I remember when I talked to Eina about this plan, she said, 'If you succeed without a single victim, make your sister and I your wife'.
Perhaps that's the safest way for Eina.
I'm ready for once because it's a promise, Mr. Reina. Mr. Eina, marry your sisters...... how will your sister react?
It worries me a lot when I think of the reaction I showed when I supplied Shella with magic.
They'll bless you ostensibly, but what do you look like back there?
It may really bless you, but if it's going to make you sad, it's an option I would never want to take.
And maybe it's my fault, but when I look at my sister these days, I don't even feel like I'm going to be more scared than turning Aina on my enemies if I'm bad.
I haven't asked Kaori's heart yet, but by the end of this battle, I have to give her an answer.
I haunted my head and grabbed it on Rhina's back, which is also her trump card against Eina.
And then he flickered to see his sister running next door and headed to the woods to rendezvous with Shella...
