- In Odette-Sray's carriage...

"I watched Yuki-Grossalia sweetly."

In the carriage of the Slay family, Odet-Slay said.

"I'm a common boy in the Baron family, so if this one holds an alliance, he'll jump at me by the welcome," he said. But I was rude to someone like him. I was too sweet. "

"That ability to fight and... grasp the situation. And the demon of use...... powerful. As a warrior and a magician… first-rate…"

"Until we defeat the other two, he will be a powerful ally."

"The... later"

"It would be the most horrible rival, wouldn't it? We need to know more about him by then."

Odette drew a crest in the air with his fingers.

One with your right finger and one with your left. Finally, write with your right hand finger.

Chanting in a low voice, I look at the tutor. Little tutors nod, "You're right."

"... come. Demons of my 'local attributes'. The Shadow Snake."

A magic formation was born on the carriage floor, from which, a black snake appeared.

Even though it's a snake, it moves unusually fast.

While Odette watches, he vanishes into the shadow of his luggage in an instant.

"Let this dive into the Yuki-Grossalia carriage. At this distance, you can maintain a magic link. You should be able to pick up your voice."

"... it's an ancient magic trick... uncle."

"Not yet."

Odette raised her golden hair.

"I will stand next to Princess Iris, a knight of escort. That's as natural as it gets."

- A few minutes later, in Yuki's carriage...

"... there's a demon in the carriage. Whose?

"... cucum"

"I see you noticed, too, Remy."

"Probably the Duke's Lady. I'm just gonna go."

"Yes. Take care"

"Put it on, Sausage."

I waved to Martha and Remy and got off the carriage.

─ ─ In Odette-Sray's carriage again ─

"Oh, yeah. I came to get you! The demon of use!! For that!!

"Really?"

"... I can't believe you noticed before the demon called... that's a great ability to detect."

"Intuition."

It's a lie, though.

There's just a little bit of my blood on all four corners of the carriage.

Blood is part of my hand and leg. If someone walks through the vicinity, I can tell by skin sensation (hifukaku).

I gave Remy my Magic Blood, too. When he bit me. He seems to be feeling sharper too.

"When it's about Odette in the Duke's house, I wonder if he calls people with the demons of 'Ancient Sorcery'. Or so I thought."

"Wow, that's awesome!! Exactly! Wow!

"You sound like a soldier outside when you shout."

"Gummy."

The Duke's Lady Odette is teasing me without swelling her cheeks (cheeks).

Why not?

"I didn't call you anything else. I wanted to see how much you wanted."

"Want?"

"You know that when you become a trainee in The Magic Guild, you become a teacher for the guild's magicians, right?

"Around there, from my brother"

"If you become an official guilder, you will be given the right to explore the 'Capital of Ancient Sorcery and Civilization (Elusion)', if you find a new 'ancient object' there, the title of the house will rise (sneeze), or you will receive a new title?

"... I didn't know that"

Is that a title?

When I find the Ancient Object, the Baron Glossaria family becomes the Viscount family.

Or maybe I can set up a new aristocratic home.

"Is a new aristocratic home for one generation only?

"Right. With his death, there will be no more titles and territories."

"What if the person didn't die?

"Who would assume that?"

That's right.

I got a title and relaxed in the territory I got for my country, but can't I?

In my case, I don't think I could die.

If you think it's a one-generation title, if that nobleman didn't die...

Probably gonna be a problem.

"I have a weird question for you."

"Go ahead."

"Isn't there an 'ancient object' somewhere that stops dying when you have it?

"How greedy is that?"

"No, you don't actually have to be immortal. It's not, 'If you have it, you can't help it if you don't die,' if it's the kind of item around you think it is."

"... maybe there is. If it's an 'ancient object'"

"I'd love to get it"

"Totally...... how big a hope do you have?

Odett-Slay said.

Is that what I want...

That's settled. "Knowing Human Beings."

And to see if Princess Iris-Leastia is a descendant of Alice.

All you have to do is find out what happened to 'Village of Fira'.

To sum up,

"My hope is to be a knight protecting Her Royal Highness."

"Is that for the Baron's house?

"There's that too. But I really want to see the consequences of what I've done. What happened as a result of my decision to live quite a bit and do this? I want to know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. That's all."

"I understand. You must have worked hard to use 'ancient magic'. As a result of that effort, Her Royal Highness was recently named a knight. Then you want to see where it goes. How far can I go?"

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

"Ah, yes. Yes, I want to know how much my magic works."

"That's a lot of you. You are."

Odette-Sray put on his cheek wand and laughed.

"You have no desire to be born, do you? I see you're a respectable competitor."

"Odette, how can you be the knight of Her Royal Highness?

Perhaps disrespectful, but I asked.

Because I was interested in what reason the general superior nobility would go for the knight of Her Royal Highness.

"I want to be a knight to protect His Highness Iris-Leastia. I am prepared to throw everything out if I am to protect Iris (...). That's all!

"Iris?"

"─ ─ Huh!?

Odette-Sray's face turned bright red.

Then she sighed, ha,

"His Highness Iris-Leastia is also my childhood friend. When we were little, we also learned magic together. I can't tell you the details, but His Highness Iris has a situation where you have to learn magic. I want to be the one who protects and supports him. That's all."

"Odette-Sray"

"... you're the first person I've told you about this"

Odette-Sray lost his sight of me.

Then sigh, "Huh,"

"I told you this because I lied to you."

"Lie to me?

"The truth is, I let the devil dive into the carriage to find out who you are. But you're more amazing than I expected, and I've found a demon."

"Huh? I was thinking about using bats to get people next time, too."

"Don't be mad at me."

"You lied."

"I apologize. I really... wanted to be an escort knight to His Highness Iris."

"Okay. That's enough."

Even I'm a human being, hiding who I am.

Besides, I know how it feels not to choose the means for what you want to protect.

"I trust you, Odette-Sray."

".................. Yuki-Grossalia"

"Next time you give me the demon, drop in so I know."

"Is that a prerequisite for contacting you with a demon?!?

That's what Odette-Sray said, laughed.

"Really... I'm no match for you"

As he sat in the carriage seat, Odette combined his hands to pray.

"May the knight of His Highness Iris be me or you"

"─ Mr. Odette. Yuki-Grossalia. I can see Wang Du!!

Unexpectedly, there was a soldier's voice outside the carriage.

Me and Odette opened the window and looked out.

Huge walls stood on the streets ahead.

"That's Milgaria, the king's capital."

Odett-Slay said.

"And it's also where the entrance to the capital of ancient magic and civilization (Erución) is located."

… "The Capital of Ancient Sorcery and Civilization (Elusion)"?

It's been 200 years since 'Sanctuary Church' found that place... but now, I wonder what's going on.

Seeing the rising walls, I was thinking about it.
