Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)
05: Machia, Noah's boat.
A few days after Thor became the knight of Princess Rubette, I was about to roll out to Castle Town to meet a certain hometown friend.
I really wanted to take Thor with me, too, but I couldn't help it. No, this might be convenient for Thor.
That was when it happened.
Lepis brought a boy in front of me.
"Dear Machia, Sir Raymond has left the escort..."
……
What Lepis brought before me was a boy in a black robe just like her.
I look like I'm 11 or 12 years old, I'm just a kid.
"Nice to meet you...... my name is Noah Twilight"
The boy said hello with a high voice that had not yet changed his voice, but without hesitation.
"Duh, what do you mean?
I dot my eyes and look down at the boy in front of me.
I knew there were other Twilight clans coming to this country besides Lepis, but they were coming and going to this country with Frezier, and they seemed very busy, and I had hardly ever met them.
Nevertheless, I didn't know there was such a child.
I have dark hair, dark eyes, shadows similar to Tor when I was little, but I feel like I want to be more luxurious and indescribable.
"Master Machia cannot use magic in public. I'm a little anxious with my own escort, so I took this Noah. He's only a child, but he looks like this, and at only ten years old, he built the Fortress of Magic, a specially gifted delicacy in the Twilight clan."
"... hey, that's awesome"
What I thought was most amazing was the compatibility of that name and the potential of this boy to read from that name.
The magic numbers aren't that different from the 6000mg's and the Lepis's, but anyway, it's the best match for the name, and it's full of talent for building space.
The boy who said Noah was staring at me. No special cowardice, no special affection.
It was just how I was observing.
"Nice to meet you, Noah.... whoever named you is amazing."
"..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
I offered my hand and shook Noah's hand.
to the hingy metal coolness at that time, haha. This kid also had a right arm as a prosthetic arm.
It breaks my heart a little that even such a small child is losing a piece of her body.
Miladreed is as vibrant as ever, even though I say it's a cold winter.
Well, I came all the way to Castle Town to meet a friend in my hometown.
Yeah, speaking of my friends from when I was in Delia Field, you know.
I'm Miss Smyrda Bigrates, also a courtier of the Twelve Nobles.
Suddenly this morning, the royal palace was contacted for a call.
She's as selfish as ever, but it's been a long time, so I also thought I'd like to see her.
I don't know, because my friend who contacts me about wanting to see me this way is about Smyrda.
"Machia!!! Here it is!!!
Smyrda greeted me on purpose at the entrance to the summoned luxury restaurant.
As always, I twin tail my brunette curly hair, and it's a flashy outfit.
"Long time no see, Smyrda."
"Phew, your birthday is coming up, so I've got a good restaurant for you. Be grateful."
………
Well, he's selfish, but he's not a bad guy.
We've known each other for a long time, so you know what the hell would please me. Because you also remembered my birthday.
Smyrda said she had come to a villa in Miradolid for the Duke of Bigrates to participate in the grand aristocratic meeting that would begin next month.
On the side, a beautifully shaped knight withholds thin beige hair cut off with his shoulders.
"This is Elliot, the new knight who serves me. Machia, where the hell is your Tor?
"... Thor is now knighting Princess Rubette."
"Oh my god, if I makia, did the princess take Tor?? Oh, oh, oh."
"What that face"
Smyrda looks kind of oddly gnarly, happy.
While I was obsessed with fine meat dishes at the restaurant, I cut back like it was nothing.
"Until next month's Great Council of Lords. I don't know why..."
"... Really?
Smyrda sipped a glass of luxury grape carbonated water and flushed her gaze sideways as if she was a little concerned.
Do you know anything about it?
But right back to my usual good look, I said.
"But for once, are you a royal palace advisor magician? You don't need a knight."
"... well. But there's always a few people on my side."
"Are you on your side?
"Yep. You may not know because you're hiding out of sight... There's always some magicians out there."
"... Mage..."
Smyrda moved her eyebrows slightly and whispered a little.
"Hey, Machia. I need a favor to fold in, but is there a store around here that sells magic amulets or something?
"... amulet? Magic?"
"Yes."
"Do I need you?
"Yes, no. I'm looking for something for your father.... Apparently the Bigrates were originally magicians' houses, but now they're just one nobleman, so I don't know much about magic. The grand aristocratic conference from next month will have a different meaning from what it has been. I'm so worried about your father... I wish I had some amulet..."
"... heh"
It was a little fresh, as Smyrda said with a twist.
Again, Smyrda can't help but worry about her own father.
"One thing, I know a good magic grocery store. It's too suspicious and dusty for you to come in."
"I don't mind. A fashionable, contemporary, magical grocery store in a shopping mall doesn't seem to work very well."
"... you know you say that"
"I don't know."
Indeed, just to say that it was a former magician's house, the face of the Bigrates family is a little higher in magic numbers than the average person.
Have I ever said that, and am I sensitive to magical fluctuations?
Finished our meal and we headed to the Magic Grocery Midgard.
I was going down the boulevard in Smyrda's prepared carriage, but along the way, the carriage stopped suddenly.
I hear some loud cheers.
"... what is it?
"Dear Smyrda, I don't think we can go any further from here. Apparently, Princess Rubette is visiting Miradolid. The princess will be visiting every region from now on."
Elliot the Great Knight explains the situation to Smyrda.
I looked out the window and checked the crowd.
"... wow, awesome"
We are all celebrating the return of the princess with the little flag of Ruskia.
I don't see a line, but I wonder if Thor is in it.
"Though I can go through the side roads and go to shops. But in that case, the carriage won't make it through."
"Fine. I'll walk."
"... Huh!?
Oh, surprise. I can't believe Smyrda said she'd walk herself.
I used to waste it on Melvis, a servant and a female knight, even if it was just a short walk.
"You're grown up, Smyrda..."
"Hey, what's that face? Makia."
I accidentally said something like a relative's aunt.
But it was a failure to get into the sidewalk.
I felt “its” unusual signs that I should be a little more cautious.
All the people go to see the princess line and there is no one on the side detailing road, very quiet.
But only signs of something watching us, all the time, are following.
"... that's not good"
This is not a good idea when Smyrda is around.
Is someone after me? Or if the Demons...
"What's wrong, Machia?"
"... Smyrda, you can't leave my side"
When I said that, I turned my gaze up and shouted, "Lepis!!," I called her. Then out of nowhere, I loosened my fluffy black robe and a repis appeared in front of me.
"Hey, what is it, that person!!
Suddenly he appeared, so surprised Smyrda in Yangtian.
But Lepis has a pale tone, as usual, to me.
"Dear Machia, we are surrounded"
"... people? Or..."
"Or, yes,"
That means the Demons are after us.
Have you been sniffing out my magic, or have you been attracted to more magic than ordinary people in Smyrda?
"I'll take care of this. In that gap, take your lady to Midgard. Go over there and you'll be safe."
"... are you okay?
"Yeah, it's a small thing."
"......... ok. Don't push me, either."
"Yes, sir."
We nodded at each other, at that moment, we were in a battle to breathe together.
I pulled Smyrda's hand and said, "Run!!".
"Nah, what is it Machia!!
"Explain later. I'm leaving this place anyway!!
"It's done, Miss Machia!!
Smyrda's Knight's Chest You have a strange face and hands on your hips sword, but I'm not clever enough to explain while running.
Anyway, I just had to ask you to follow me.
But a little later, in a bend out onto a street with Midgard, we encountered mysterious men.
Men wearing white masks, covering their faces and weaving their capes.
The look is too suspicious, but I have a sword in my hand, or a gun from another continent, standing here. It's obviously an enemy.
"Cah, thug, thug!!
Smyrda is screaming and screaming for gold. The knight Elliot pulled out his sword and slashed it against the men, "Whoa, whoa, whoa," but was stopped by his opponent's sword and knocked down by the wall by another man as it was.
"Weak!! Your knight is weak!!
"CA, Elliot!!
Is Elliot weak or are these the strong ones?
I thought I had no choice, so I put my thumb on my mouth to use magic, but at that moment, a black cloak stood down in front of us.
He was a small boy.
"... Ah, Noah... eh"
Yes, it was.
Noah followed my escort. I totally forgot.
Noah glanced up at me in a chillary manner, holding the back of his hand in front of him, forming a three-dimensional magic formation of cubes of squares, similar to Tor's.
Masked men have been shooting guns, but all of them have been intercepted by this cube.
Boulders are spatial magic. This kind of thing is also good for you.
"Master Machia, my boat will take you to Midgard. Never get off that boat."
"... boat?
When I questioned Noah's words, in an instant I was surprised by his unusual vision.
Me and Smyrda were on a small boat at some point.
The trail looked like a creek.
"Cah!! Boat, he's in the boat!!
Smyrda knelt gakun on the boat, noisy from earlier.
But I can't even do it. Because the situation changed in an instant.
"Magic Fortress…" Noah's Canoe "…"
Noah grabbed the back of the hand she was kneading, and played her index finger.
Then the boat we were on goes straight between the men. Slowly, just to where you were instructed.
"Noah's boat can't stop us from moving forward, protective space. You can't attack anyone on board."
Noah laughed niggly and was good at it.
He was right, the masked men seemed incapable of attacking the boat we were on.
The sword cannot be lowered, just as the gun cannot be fired.
"Noah!!
I called Noah's name, which kept me away, but he just nodded, and then he wouldn't look at me with an invincible grin and a stare at the masked men.
I was concerned about Noah's grin, but the boat never stopped.
We got in Noah's boat and when we got to Midgard's store safely, we ran straight into the store and shut the door.
"Whoa, whoa, what the hell are you talking about?"
"Madame Egresa... there are demons outside the store and dubious masked men... eh"
"Oh, hey, come in the back of the store anyway...... hiccup"
I pulled Smyrda's hand, unable to stand still, into the back of the store and sat her down in the bench in the room where Perselis had previously slept during his retreat hypnosis.
"It's okay, Smyrda..."
"Yeah, yeah.... but what the hell is that... E, I left Elliot!!
"It's okay, I'm sure those two will do something about it. He's a very strong magician. So don't get out of here."
"... Really..."
She looked horny and exhaled heavily.
You're such a hefty knight, but you're going to say that you're an important knight to her.
"It would be better if you didn't leave this store for a while..."
I looked up out the window, staring up at the sky.
Its colour flavour seems to have expressed any suspicious air approaching this Miradolid.
I was concerned about Lepis and Noah.
