Strongest Onmyouji's Isekai Adventure ~ The Monsters are too weak compared to my Youkai Servant's~

Three months after the turbulent Teito Martial Arts Games.

Summer was also visiting this country.

Dorm's own room with open windows.

I sit on my bed and run my eyes at the letter I received.

"Is it from that mansion human? Saika."

Yuki on her shoulder looked down at the letter and asked.

They can't read this letter yet.

"Oh."

I nod.

"It's from your father."

"... it's kind of uncomfortable for Saika to call that young man my father"

"Don't say that. I owe the blades a favor."

Especially since I got a private room for nobility in the dorm.

I really appreciate being able to talk to Yuki and spread the tools of the spell.

Yuki tells me as if I've been relieved.

"And because what was it about? Show your face for the rest of the day, or what?

As Yuki said, the school was just on summer break.

Many students use this period to go home to their parents.

But I stayed in the dorm last year for a reason. Because it doesn't make sense to go home, and I didn't like the long journey in the carriage.

I'm a lot used to that shake now, but it doesn't make a difference to being tired.

However, the contents of this letter did not encourage homecoming.

I shake my head to the side and answer.

"No, he wants me to go investigate the dragon."

"Dragon, is it?

"Oh."

To Yuki, who seems surprised, I explain.

"One of the empire's kingdoms is called Astiglia, and the Old King's Capital is a city where people and dragons live together. Everything seems to be nestled in a nearby mountain with one giant dragon and the city soaked in its territory. But they never attacked the inhabitants, but in the past, with the guards, they repelled the bandits and the enemy forces."

"Ho."

Yuki answers rarely and intriguingly.

"Yuki is also a demon who lives with people, and I guess that happens. So, what's wrong with that dragon?

"Anything, he's been acting strange lately"

"Weird, what?

"They started attacking humans and occasionally cattle. They did."

"Mm..."

Do the trick like Yuki twists his neck.

"... I also feel that's normal, if that's the case. If you are hungry with a dragon, attack a fat beast near you."

"No, these monsters are a lot closer to animals, but they're still like chemistry. If the magic of the land is enough, you can live without eating like a demon."

From what I've read of the various literature, apparently so.

I go on.

"I'm sure Astilian dragons have rarely attacked a beast before. Hostility toward humans, too. I guess that's why the city's residents are confused"

"Ha..."

Yuki replies carelessly.

Most of all, it's usually common for a beast to strip his fangs of what he intends to keep.

Even if that was a dragon, it's not particularly surprising to me.

"So, why did Seika do the research?

"Simply put, I wonder if I can properly manage the beasts I keep"

I say.

"Dragons are almost the strongest monsters in this world. If such a presence is showing disturbing signs, things will not be just Astilia's problem. If you fly this way, the empire could be devastated. Investigations to identify threats by checking the site."

"... Since when did Seika become a bureaucrat?

"It's not. A favor from the blades."

I'll explain.

"In the first place, this investigation was commissioned directly, not by an imperial bureaucrat, but by an Astilian senator. I guess we decided we should get an investigative envoy from ourselves before we get followed by the Imperial Council. And it was my father who was a researcher."

"Not researchers, usually don't they call politicians?

"If we owe politicians, they could later demand heavy returns in Congress. Besides, even as a governor resident in Astilia, you won't like coming to political enemies. In that regard, Father distances himself from politics, and furthermore the report gives rise to academic persuasion. Something was convenient. I've been in Imperial City a lot at the academy, so it's easy to speak up."

"How about people's politics..."

Yuki squeaks like she's sick of it.

I've never talked about politics before in my life. [M]

Finally, if you read a little more of the Astilian side's thoughts.

The other side probably already has measures in place to solve the dragon problem.

Otherwise, a request for an investigation would just dig a grave.

Then Yuki says in a way that doesn't make any sense.

"I just don't know why Yuki still asks Seika to do this... Seika is just a student now, isn't she?

"That's... I'm sure I'm the only one who's free."

"Yes?"

"Think about it. Father himself is busy, and Luft remembers the Lord's work, so let's have a hand. Gli can't move out of the garrison, and all his relatives are busy with their own work and territorial management anyway. On the other hand, I am on summer vacation. I've been free for a month with no sign of going home."

"Yes... is that why..."

"That's why. But it should sound good to say I left it to my brilliant son. He's got the best grades in school and even the experience of winning martial arts competitions."

That's a little too good.

Come on, maybe we should keep it down a little.

"And what will you do? If you want to live inconspicuously, I know you should refuse this request."

"No, I'm coming."

I answered instantly, even though I thought I should suppress it.

"Whatever you say is fine, but the other countries wanted to see it once. Much better than being told to return to the territory. And I care about dragons."

"... isn't the last reason for all of this?

Yuki says half-eyed.

"Mr. Seika... please do the same."

"What is it?"

"I don't mind your hobbies, but I hope you keep your moderation. Please refrain from making any mistakes or making noise about being misunderstood as missing after three full days in the basement, as in the previous life."

"I know, I know,"

I wave and answer. [M]

Regardless of the study of spells, the experiments in natural sciences and biology seem to Yuki to be my hobby.

It's definitely like a hobby... but it's pretty useful.

"That's why I decided to go to the Kingdom of Astiglia during my summer vacation"

Dining room at noon.

That's what I told Efa, Amu, and Mabel, sitting at the same table.

"Yeah, it's a dragon investigation... not funny. I've never seen a dragon before. Can I follow you?

I give it back to Amu, who normally says so. [M]

"What are you talking about? You were supposed to go home tomorrow."

"In my case, it's close to Rodney, so I can go home in the spring."

"Don't say that. You should see your family when you see them."

"You say, you don't know if it's heavy or light... well I will. I already asked for a carriage."

"Yes."

And Mabel raised her hand small.

"I don't plan to. I can also hold heavy objects. I'll take care of the escort."

I give it back to Mabel, who looks like she's gone. [M]

"I have plans, you have plans"

……

"Study"

……

"Are you doing my job right? If you can't go to class from the new semester, you'll be studying again."

"Eh, digesting sharply..."

To Mabel, who does everything in her power to divert attention, I add.

"And... why don't you go home now, too? I think my parents will be waiting."

"Mmm... then I will"

I nodded and looked at Mabel, and then I looked at Efa as if she was nodding.

"Efa... you want to come with me?

"What!"

"It's gonna be a long itinerary, so it's gonna take a lot of time off, and I'm not saying I can't,"

"Yes, I'm coming! Go!... Haha, I thought they'd say no too"

"One of my servants will forgive me."

After I said it, I felt a little sorry for myself.

Even though I'm not leaving, I can't just leave Efa. [M] This kid would want to see his father too, but it was guilty to be obstructing it.

Well, Efa's father is busier than Blaze, so I don't know if I'll see him when I get home.

"So when are we leaving?

"Tomorrow or the day after."

"A lot steeper."

"It takes a while to get around. Summer break's only a month away, and we're in a hurry."

"Have you taken the carriage yet?

"No, they're supposed to arrange it over there."

"Beyond?"

"He's a great Astilian."

I'll explain.

"Looks like he was just coming to the Imperial Capital, and he's gonna stop by Rodney when he gets home. So we can get to Astilia with a convoy."

"Guards," he said.

Amu frowns.

"You exaggerate a lot. If you're going down the street, you shouldn't have to worry about burglars or monsters."

Sure Amu is right, if you're just going down the main road, even the Merchant Corps (caravan) can take a few escorts at best.

The streets of the Empire that connect distant cities are essentially military routes to move the army efficiently. Monsters are regularly eliminated to ensure safety, and the burglars are not close.

However, things were a little different this time.

"I have no choice. Because he's in a position."

……

"The great Astilian is actually..."

At that time, I heard blurring from the rear of the dining room.

The voice of someone with a big voice gets in my ear.

"- Well, this is where you are. Thanks for the guidance. But what a qualitative... Mmm, really? But if the building is old, we should rebuild it."

"Young"

"No disrespect. Don't worry about what I just said. Do?... Oh, is he? Thank you. Enough. Shall we go alone later, Lise?...... hmm? Hey, what's up? Why don't you come quick?"

I look back when I get closer to the signs. [M]

There he was, one boy in a lavish courtesy.

I was in my late teens or so. Combined with a neat appearance and an elegant standing, it conveys irrevocably that you are a noble blood-minded person.

I guess it serves as a escort. The long, pointy-eared, subracial woman holding back by her side seemed to be a considerable user.

The cause of the stirring would obviously be these two eye-catching people.

Oh, no way......

A boy smiles and opens his mouth to me.

"Hey, did you make a mistake with Sir Seika?

It hardens me a lot.

Eventually, however, when he regains his mind and stands up, he exhales a tribute for nobility with a smile.

"I don't know. I'll see you first. You arrived earlier than planned, Your Royal Highness Prince Cecilio Astiglia"

Behind you can hear the girls whispering.

"... who, that"

"Prince," he said.

I say with a grin.

"Even if nothing can come to a place like this, I even went out here. To welcome His Royal Highness the First Prince of the Kingdom of Astilia, I apologize for not being in the right place."

"Fine. I told the school people I couldn't guide them."

With that said, the prince has a pleasant grin.

"It's not that I need to rush, but I wanted to see the Imperial School of Magic once as I met you. What a historic building. The students all seem excellent, to........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

And, Prince Cecilio cut the words.

His eyes are directed at Efa, who may be sitting next to me.

"Oh dear... what's your first name?

"What!? Yes, uh... Efa, it is..."

Before Efa the bee, the prince poked his knee, and he took the girl's hand and said with his eyes like he was floating in heat.

"How beautiful... Oh my goodness, would you like to come to my rear house (Halem)?

Huh?
