The apron is convenient. If you walk around the city, you'll look like a commoner.
"Hey, run away from home." You're going to get angry with me, little lady. "
Lavée asked, flying fluffily around her shoulders. Looking at the market stalls, Hadith answered in a whisper.
"It's okay, I have to break it."
"No, you're going shopping, aren't you?"
"It's okay, Jill doesn't remember the number of ingredients or the stockpile." You didn't suspect anything at dinner yesterday. It's cute. I don't think I can complain because I'm eating too much. ”
”It's a framing technique... you're still deceiving me majestically, aren't you?”
"Not now. I know Jill, too."
Whether you're fine with lying or not revealing your true feelings easily, Jill will take care of you and love you. Suddenly, the area around my chest became painful.
"I-Isn 't my wife too cool...!?"
"Yes, yes, I understand, so don't forget your purpose and fall."... the price is definitely going up. "
“Yeah, depending on the season and the region, it's three times the price. The landlord told me that the Lavée Empire was fishing for the dragon's transportation cost....."
"In the first place, that's strange." Dragons can't carry that much. "
Dragons exert tremendous power in securing air control in battle, and they do not allow followers in movement or speed, allowing air transportation, but they are inferior to the payload. Air transport within the Lavée Empire does not require much volume and is not used for commercial purposes in terms of cost-effectiveness. In the first place, the Leica trade should have been using sea routes for a long time.
In other words, the price has risen, but it is rumored to be the cause of it.
Propaganda from the anti-Lavée movement, huh?
After checking the approximate price of the stall, Hadith snaps.
"I don't know. Come on, Hadith. Again.”
Lavée whispered on her shoulder, and Hadith turned to her. It was easy to understand and blackmailed the shop.
There were servicemen in Lavée. Multiple people surround a single shopkeeper.
"You're telling me to pay for it!" Who do you think is protecting this city?! "
"But if you don't pay us, we'll have a life..."
If that's the case, let's make sure we don't need to pay for it.
While the owner of the stall complained about something, one of the people who was turning around smiled and kicked the box containing the goods. Screams rose and the fruits rolled in.
Well then, it won't be a sale!
The orange that rolled vigorously stopped at the tip of Hadith's shoe. In the meantime, there was a disturbing laughter. Lavée asked with a frown.
"What do you want to do, help people before they get hurt?" It's hard to stand out, so sneakily
I don't think I'll be able to get through it.
This is not the first time I have seen the rough behavior of the Lavée Imperial Army. I just feel uncomfortable.
(I knew you weren't part of the Lavée Empire.)
The accents of the voice and the occasional pronunciation of words are different from those of the average Lavée. Probably a local person employed by the Lavée Empire. Still, it didn't change the title of a soldier in the Lavée Empire.
"Even if you just keep looking like this, you're unlikely to get any more information..."
I see.
It was with the consent of Ryujin-sama, so it was time to move. I'm sure your wife won't be angry if she can't get rid of you if you make the food worse.
Okay, and take the orange that is stopping at the tip of the shoe. Then, with magic power, the side of the soldier who was trying to reach into the store's goods threw the ball.
The orange that flew in with the fastball made a sound like it was melting in and blew up the serviceman.
"What, what!? Are you okay?!"
"Ah, ahhh..."
The blown-up soldier seems unable to get up, but he gets up and shakes his head. While waking up the blown-up companion, the rest turned their faces bright red and roared.
"Who did it! Who did it!? Come out, you coward!"
"That's him, that's the apron over there!"
One of them pointed to us. I was able to follow the signs of magic power. He seems to be a well-educated soldier.
"Oh, I'm sorry. My hand slipped."
"Your hand is slipping and the orange won't stick to your head. Don't say it with a smile."
Ignoring Lavée's insertion, Hadith picks up oranges scattered across the aisle and pushes his lap to speak to the shopkeeper as he enters the aisle.
“Are you okay? I'm sorry, I threw the product.”
"No, no... you just run away"
"Obstructing the execution of official duties!"
I was grabbed by the shoulder. Eh, and as Hadith tries to look back, the two soldiers lift their arms one by one and drag them sloppily. Oh, and the shopkeeper exclaimed sadly.
"Because you have magic power, you're getting better, you idiot. I'll take you to the army."
"Well, it was an accident. It was an accident."
"I wonder if that excuse makes sense!" Hey, get out of the way! Don't stare! "
"I'll show you what happens when I meet the Lavée Imperial Army." Don't think your family will just do it. "
"Hey Hadith, isn't this a development that will make you angry?" You, stand out. "
Lavée said worriedly as he followed. Hadith thought so. I'd like to see it in the army, but I don't think it's such a small story. The biggest problem is that we haven't heard from the Lavée Empire. All you need is a little more. Besides, there was a dragon.
I want to hide as long as I can until I can drag it out.
(Do you want to get rid of them all?)
Squeeze your strength into the soles of your shoes. The soldier turned to stop Hadith.
"Hey, hurry up and walk--"
The soldiers who shut their mouths on the way are left behind. Everything in that expression was instinctive fear, like when a human was in front of a dragon.
Excuse me. You're smiling so gently.
"- Wait! There!"
Hadith turned around, narrowing her eyes at the voice from behind. Soldiers breathe out and yell back like bluffs, as if they had been released from the golden bondage.
"Hey, what are you-- Roger?"
The soldiers seem to know the man who ran out of breath, but they don't recognize Hadith.
Yet the man came between the soldier and Hadith.
"I'm sorry, could you give me a break?"
“No, he defied us in public, we can't miss him!”
Well, well, without saying so.
That said, a man named Roger made the soldiers hold the gold in their hands. It's a bribe. The soldiers who saw it ended it and turned their heels as if nothing had happened. I guess the reason I'm so quick is because I want to get away from Hadith.
"Are you all right?"
After being called, Hadith stared back at the man again. I still don't recognize her face. Lavée entered Hadith. The reason is simple.
(It has magic power. Strong)
The man laughed stubbornly at Hadith, who was silent.
"I'm sorry. I don't want to bother you, but..."
This man must be sniffing something out of Hadith.
What's your name?
"Hadith"
Honestly answering Hadith, the man blinked and then lowered his gaze. But I laughed immediately.
"I see, that's a pretty grand pseudonym." It's the same name as the Dragon Emperor. "
……
"Well, I won't say anything innocent." You're not good at this, are you? I can't believe we're head-on against the Lavée Empire. They pulled back this time, but I got eyes on them, completely. "
"You must have helped me out with something." What can I do for you? "
"I see.... you're not just anybody." I wonder if he's the one sent by the Lavée Empire to investigate. ”
By being silent, I was able to make a judgment. However, it seemed that the opponent had misunderstood it well. A sigh returns.
“I knew it. The cadet school is a bluff.”
Officer School?
"Oh, I'm face to face, I'm a school teacher."... yes, don't you have a sister? "
Sister?
Both Natalie and Frida are in the Lavée Empire. Besides, I've never heard of such a friendly acquaintance. Roger laughs at Hadith.
"It's a girl named Jill. I knew it because you said you had an older brother...."
With a smile on his face, Hadith hardened.
"Am I your brother, your husband, your son-in-law, your lover, your fiancé?"
Roger was in a hurry to see what he thought of Hadith, who raised the corner of his mouth.
"... I'm sorry. Was it early this way?"
"Yes! I do have a sister, but it's my own country." I don't know such a girl! "
You have a small vessel! My brother is just a convenience!
Shouting, trying to hide your relationship is like cheating. I wouldn't hide it if I were you.
In my heart, Roger gave me a big sigh of relief.
"Ahh, so she's really just being replenished as an instructor." I was vigilant and lost. Well, I had a feeling I didn't know anything... but I don't know what I was thinking in my own country. If that's the case, so is Dragon Emperor. "
"Yeah, well, what do you want me to do?"
You don't have to hold back from Jill anymore. I'll do whatever I want.
Roger's face came to light as I proceeded with the story.
"Will you help me?" We need to complain about the country's plight. "
“I can't move without proof. Do you have any idea?"
“If you ask, don't you want to cooperate with us?”
Without a doubt, Hadith nodded after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, fine, I'll help you."
"Well then, let's take you to our place." We don't have much time. Recently, the Liberation Army has been very active. ― ― Before they can control the dragons and attack the Lavée Empire, we have to do something about it.
Manipulate the dragon. That's right.
Hadith smiled at Roger as he walked out with his back turned.
