Skeleton Knight, in Another World

"Well, first I'll rendezvous with Danka, who's infiltrating first in Diento. Follow me."

"That's the thing... can I suggest you one thing?

To strengthen our relationship with the Elves here, you should disclose one end of this power and accept it. Besides, covert action in this appearance is quite impossible. With the [Dimensional Walking Method (Dimension Move)] of short-range metastasis, it is not that difficult to sneak eyes and dive somewhere.

If you forcibly break through directly from the front to where the Elves are being held in captivity with all-body silver armor, there is a possibility that you will become a conspicuously more invisible interrogator and unable to move further. Then if we could use this magic to sneak in and rescue the witnesses without sending them out, we wouldn't have to worry about that either.

"Suggestions? If you're too relaxed, the sun will go down in the woods before you get to Diento."

She is a little surprised that she can't read this intent while holding onto her beautiful white hair in the wind with her hands.

"Does Lord Arian know the magic of metastasis?

"?... I know, but what's wrong with that?

I could see a little alert color seeping into her eyes. Does the story about metastatic magic conflict with anything unsavory? But there is no option to come this far and say nothing......, be prepared to continue the conversation.

"I can handle that metamagic, but with this, I can fly right to the city of Diento. It's going to be a lot easier to break into and escape the building, and this plan is going to rescue them with metamagic."

"Do the metastatic magic!? Lies?! It's a legend you can handle that one personally, isn't it?! Even the Elves are magical enough to finally activate using magic props......!!

She opened her golden eyes and hurriedly blocked her own mouth with her hands after an obviously stunned look and a quick curl.

Apparently, metamagic is known to exist among the Elves, but it is not something that can be activated by the magical abilities of individuals. But can the Elves activate metamorphosis magic by using magic props..., from the mouthpiece earlier, people don't have metamorphosis magic magic props or can't seem to handle them. From her hasty appearance, it may be top secret that the Elves can handle metastatic magic.

"Forget what I just heard! No... Prove it if you say you can handle metastatic magic. If it's true, then promise me you won't talk about it, either, because neither will we, the Elves!

Her words and actions are harsh, and she presses for a response here with force that won't let her say yes or no. If people who are never friendly know about the existence of supertechnology that says transfer magic and so on, people may wage war on the elves in search of that technology, they are probably concerned about that. That may be something I can say to myself that I can handle that super technology personally...

You're more comfortable with each other's secrets than you are.

"... I got it. I promise to keep this mouth shut when it comes to the Elves' metamorphosis magic."

Softly exchange words of promise with her.

"Fine. Shall I show you the metamorphosis and magic?"

When she flips a gray coat and puts her hand on her waist and becomes Jen Royal, Arian urges this one with her gaze.

Is the ponta aware of the situation as well, when it rings a single sound activates the magic of the wind, it rises on the spot and sticks to its usual constant position, on its helmet.

Pack your bags and carry yourself. When this one is ready to leave, give her a voice and perform a magical activation.

"I understand. Then pave the way to the side of the city of Diento. [Transfer Gate]!"

Activate the magic and a magical formation of blue and white light emerges at your feet about three meters in diameter, unfolding at your feet and hers. As the sun leans considerably and the shadows of the trees that grow in the woods are thickening, the light dyes the trees of the woods with a demonic or fantastic light, in an instant the landscape in front of you is dimmed and everything is closed to darkness.

But it was also just a moment, and when I realized it, the landscape in the woods earlier disappeared there, and the two of them stood in a completely different place.

She also stunned with a stunned look on her face as she put her arms around her and looked at the scenery around her with wide open golden eyes.

The sky is already on the brink of darkness, and the light purple dark light has dyed through the sky. Hear the gentle breeze stroking the surrounding meadow and playing the sound of a cool leaf rub.

A short distance away you can see the stone bridge of the Royal Arch, under which the Rydell river flows. Beyond it was a view of the city of Diento surrounded by city walls.

"You surprised me...... No, I can't believe someone can use metastatic magic without chanting... I still feel like I'm dreaming... This is the best way to rescue your people."

She broke her face as she looked back at the neighborhood in a way that was impressive. He seems honestly pleased with the brighter prospects for the upcoming rescue operation.

"Convenient magic, but not without difficulty. I can only fly to a place where I remember clearly once I went. You won't be able to fly very well into similar landscaped forests and caves..."

"That's enough! The Elves will consume a lot of magic when they can only transfer to places under certain conditions in the first place..."

The Elves seem to have various constraints on the transition team, but their ability still far outweighs modern transport technology.

"Well, I can't be surprised till hours. It's time to dive into the Dient."

When Ariane tells her to get back on her mind, she starts walking into the city of Diento, wearing a hood deep in her eyes, closing in front of the gray coat that was kicking her skin and covering it all up.

Her light purple crystal-like smooth dark elf skin is quite noticeable, far from ordinary elves and people. If we don't cover the whole thing like this, we'll be neglected.

Even in my own case, I can't show it to people because the body of the skeleton fits under the armor. I feel a little intimate, but in her case, the situation may be slightly different because there is no biological body.

I flip a black coat myself and walk out behind her, who stands at the head when I neatly wrap the luxurious silver armor inside.

The city of Diento is in the dark, but I can see a good number of people and carriages trying to get into the city on the bridge of the Royal Arch that crosses in front of the city to see if it's just the main point of traffic. Is there anyone who leaves the city from this hour, and the flow of people goes in one direction?

Cross the stone bridge of the Sixth Street Arch and follow the flow of men through the gates of the First Street Wall to reach the gates of the Second Street Wall. As he walks with his black coat completely armed all over his body, somehow the crowd cracks open and makes its way. There is nothing to worry about, so we quietly move forward and get to the gate of the second outer wall.

Talk to the gate soldier later by showing Arian, who completely covered his full body coat while showing the mercenary ID to the gate soldier.

"I'll take the rest. How much is the city tax?

The gate soldier sees Arian behind him momentarily, but opens his mouth unfathomably to many others trying to enter the city without any particular interest.

"One sec."

Remove one piece of silver coin from the leather bag on your hips and give it to the gatekeeper, then enter the city of Diento with Ariane.

Already the sun sets and the lights of the lamps leak from all over the city, and the lively mess is full of people's liveliness. Ask Arian behind you about the future while avoiding the many people in front of the South Gate Square.

"Now that we're in the city of Diento, what are we going to do, Lord Arian?

"Square right through the gate across the bridge...... The rendezvous point is here, so I'll wait for Dunca here. Perhaps they'll find us."

That being said. When she avoids the crowd waves and moves to the corner of the square and turns her back on the wall, she looks at the crowd silently as it is. I attached myself to it and gazed at the crowd as well as it would hang on the wall.

Danka is an elf man I've met outside this city before. He was also hooded over there to hide the long ears that characterized the Elves. Run your gaze for someone like that nearby.

After a while, someone approached us. A man wearing a hemp hooded coat walks toward us.

When Arian also notices the person, he greets the opponent with his back away from the wall he was bringing.

"Arian, why is that man here?

When he stopped in front of him, the man in the hemp coat asked Arian so in a low, well-traveled voice. A familiar voice, an elf man who used to be outside the city.

"A little bit of a accomplishment...... I hired you as a mercenary for a little help this time."

"Are you serious?!"

Danka's voice can see the colour of surprise and condemnation.

That would leave no choice, it would be incomprehensible to employ a self-proclaimed human self to rescue an elf imprisoned by a human race.

"Well, standing talkin '... let's go somewhere we can sit"

That's what she says. Just walk away from the square. You also decided that Danka had no choice but to say it here, reluctantly following behind her. This one mimics it and follows behind Dunca.

As you exit through the square and along the boulevard, a number of stalls go out into places where they are lined up for business. There's a simple table and chairs in front of the stall, like a little stall village.

He sits around the table everywhere, buying food and booze from stalls that open around him and making a scene.

When Arian sits at one of those empty tables, he asks Dunca to buy him a drink and a knob.

"Danka, I want that skewer over there! And please drink appropriately. What about Ark?

"I won't let it happen."

It smells good like meat roasting from the stall, but you can't take off your helmet in front of such a large crowd. I don't feel hungry in this body, but I usually have to put up with the desire to eat.

"Why me..."

While complaining, Dunca followed the instructions in her name to do her a favor and went in line at the stall. Looking back at it, when I get to the same table seat as her myself, the ponta that was sticking on my head comes down on the table and sits down.

Maybe he's hungry because apparently he asked me to smell good.

"Ki-yu."

When it sounded a little cut, Dunca came from the stall with a jock-like shaped wooden cup and meat skewer and a plate with peanut-like nuts. When I put that on the table, I silently took another seat.

"You were hungry because you were fighting a war with people in the woods. Ark, this is Danka Neil Maple. He's one of the Elf warriors, just like me, who was gathering information in this city this time. Danka, the armored man over here is Ark. I was joined by Donaha in the woods when he fought a battle with the crowd."

Hmm? Did you say maple earlier......, that sweet name sounded familiar. That's the same name as Ariane Glennis Maple, her deliciously cheeky skewered meat in front of her.

"Sure, I think Lord Arian also named Maple, but are you two brothers and sisters?

Dunca frowned slightly at the question, and Arian laughed ridiculously and waved the skewered meat. Ponta's gaze is moving left and right following its shaken skewers.

"The names of the Elves are a combination of basics, their own names, the names of same-sex parents, and the names of the settlements to which they belong. They're brothers and sisters who belong in the same house, but they're not family. We belong to Maple, the forest capital of Canada's Great Forest."

It's a very different way to name it than Japan.

And the Canadian Great Forest is commonly called the Elf Forest or the Lost Forest? And what is the forest capital maple... a famous place or something where you can take a lot of syrup??

"The Great Forest of Canada" means the "Elf Forest" where people say it is?

"That's what people call it. We built a big city of the Elves in that land, and we call it the Great Forest of Canada, which was named by the first chiefs. The forest capital, Maple, is also named after its chief."

... Is there ever a time in this world when people like me come here? Whatever you think, I don't think 'Maple' is just a coincidence in 'Canada'. But she said the first chief... sounds like a long time ago.

"When was that forest capital, Maple, built?

"Could it have been about 800 years ago?

Ariane tilted her little neck and pointed her gaze at Dunca as she said so, and when Dunca also coughed after a small nod, she went to switch the subject.

"You don't care about that now, do you? More than that, you're really gonna let this guy cooperate in this operation, aren't you?

Danka took the topic that was out of line to those concerned with this operation.

Arian gave instructions to Dunca to come nearby with a flickering hand, giving Dunca some ear punch when she stopped nearby.

When I take that ear punch and change the look on the back of the hood to a stunning color, he asks me with a rather clever imitation, like stuffing on this side and yelling in a small voice.

"Are you telling me you can use metastatic magic?!

"Um, well, it's somewhat constrained, but you can use it"

I don't think others will hear me because of the noise around me, but just in case I answer this one with a small voice.

Danka alternates between this one and Arian with the look of incredibility. That Ariane was giving Ponta skewered meat to play with, pulling her triangular ears, and she wasn't interested in this one...

"So? You found a base, didn't you? How's it going?

She takes off Ponta's ear, which she was pulling, and asks Danka questions about the base she found this time as she stroked her head.

Dunca finally restarted, too, and returned to the conversation with a serious face when she returned her upset look.

"Ah, oh. The base of the kidnapping is next to the pleasure district, which stretches near the city's east gate. There's still a lot of crowds over there for a while after sundown, so we wait for the middle of the night when there's less crowds to break in. There are guards outside, and I think there are quite a few inside..."

Apparently, the stronghold was on the side of the pleasure district near the East Gate, not the aristocratic district in the heart of the Lords' Castle. Ah, it's a place where I didn't get too far because it's troublesome when people get tangled up in weird people.

"Do you know how many people are being held captive or something?

"We're talking about the four of us in the story of the one who threw up the information. I was planning to be brought in again soon..."

"We crushed that extra plan today. Then the rest are the four prisoners in that stronghold. This time we have arc magic, so to be honest, the escape will be quite helpful."

"Then we'll wait around here until the hour..."
