Taking down Wyburn and the Lesser Dragon, Akechi and the others through the valley of the Feilongs camped at night shortly afterwards and ate the meat of the dragon into the ingredients.

Unlike demonic meat, dragon meat can also be used for consumption. On the contrary, they are traded as luxury ingredients in the market.

Dragon species are used for meat, skins and wings are used for protective equipment, clothing and other materials, and nails and fangs are used for weapons. Bones are a material for magic props, and guts and blood are treasured as medicines, so there is no place to waste them.

However, meat is quite difficult when it comes to cooking as is. Dragon flesh continues to circulate magic even when it dies. This, on the other hand, is a factor that deepens the flavour, but if you cut it the wrong way and put the force into it, the magic will disturb the taste of the meat and it will become hard.

But Akechi brought out the flavor of dragon meat to nearly 90 percent thanks to his skills. The preparation of dragon meat is regarded as a professional cook if it can bring out as much as 60 percent of the flavor, and if you think about it that way, Akechi's arm, which brings out 90 percent of the flavor of the ingredients, is remarkable.

Classmates who were naturally on the journey, including knights, were also tongue-in-cheek. Mai, who keeps thinking all the time, also honestly said it's delicious when it comes to this dragon meat dish.

It's just that she still can't seem to help but feel comfortable about Earth's work. It is also likely that Cicio will be depressed to follow him all the time when he finally says it.

I guess you don't like the type of guy like Cicio. Even though I think that fewer women would particularly like this kind of man.

The knight took turns watching that night, and Akechi and Classmate were able to sleep slowly. The Akechis are treated like brave men in the Empire, so this kind of treatment seems natural.

And tomorrow morning - just before I left, one eagle came down and stopped on the shoulder of the Black Knight woman.

Not as much as crow manipulated birds, but those manipulating these birds for emergency contact exist in the Empire as well.

Because birds transmit faster than horses. The legs of the hawk that came are bracketed with something like a letter.

The Black Knight solved it, spread it out and checked the contents. Meanwhile, the eagle rings up and flies off the shoulders of the Black Knight.

"What did it say?

Akechi asked the woman. When I look at it, the woman's well-shaped eyebrow roots are raised and peeking at her difficult face. Maybe the contents of the letter are not very good news for her.

"That's - apparently Sir Kathua hasn't been returned to the territory yet..."

That's what I say and cage my mouth. She was watching Akechi with her eyes like she saw how it was going. Acknowledging that, Akechi also shows a strange face.

"I see - when it came to Lord Kathua, the three Inuzuki, Himexi and Hanamed were on the escort. And yet? All three of them were certain of their abilities among the women."

"I know what they're capable of, too. So I was wondering if it would be okay, but I don't respect and publicize the will of Mr. Akechi."

It's still hard to say. I peek at Akechi for his complexion. But what she wanted to say was understandable to Akechi.

Either way, three of Akechi's classmates are already missing: Akiba, Nakano, Oomiya, Dray, Nishijima, Komori, Momojima and the one she's told us about now.

Especially when it comes to the commune. It hasn't even stopped me from caring - the other members are the ones with that much power.

One by one that disappears over a short period of time would be a case that should not be left alone, even as an empire.

Especially now, the power of Akechi prevents the emperors and executives from turning against him.

Therefore, Akechi has ordered the search to proceed to the point of dispatching a small number of people without taking too much care of it or informing his classmates (except for the sharks).

But say unto the boulder the fifth princess: she is the princess of the empire. That's what's missing, but I can't tell you not to do anything.

Besides - Akechi slightly spilled a grin like he came up with something and told her.

"I wonder if it is possible that His Majesty Kathua was just involved to see the trends so far"

"Involved...?

"Yes, it was all my classmates who suddenly went missing. This time again, the escort was accompanied by three of us. When this happens, it seems natural to think that Lord Kathua was just involved."

"... but why?

"The only person I can think of is someone who knows about a summoned like us. And our destiny to aim for."

Black Knight's girlfriend showed a slight face to Akechi's reasoning.

"But the matter of the brave is also kept secret within the Empire. And yet..."

"Perfection doesn't exist in the world."

Akechi said that in his heart, besides me.

Then she gives a troubled look.

"But you have no idea. Now..."

"No, I think I can grasp some footing even if I don't have it around my heart"

Huh? and the woman's sliced long eyes were opened.

"It's not even that surprising. The mysterious killer is after us. Then what's next?"

"!? No way! Just like us?

"That's a good chance. If I'm right, I'm likely to be getting information from my classmates."

Akechi answers with one nod. Then she thinks narrowly.

"Then you have to be especially careful on the road. Anyway, I'm harder to protect than I am now."

"That's good too, but I'll set it up from here anyway"

To Akechi's suggestion, huh? and she rounded her eyes.

"If they're after us for the same ancient labyrinth, it's possible to narrow down the route somewhat. Besides, I'm good at this kind of reasoning."

That's what I say, laughing, asking her to spread the map.

"Yeah, I think this mountain range definitely passes as expected. So if we get out now, we'll be able to intercept them."

"Huh? No, but this is a place where many dangerous demons also avoid passing by. That's why there's no decent road."

"That's why. The opponent has never shown any tail before. I mean, I'm moving around avoiding people. Those opponents should go through this mountain range, even if it's dangerous. Not to mention if you've been defeating a skilled classmate."

Akechi's face seemed strangely delightful for some reason, discussing, talking and making him listen.

"So, yeah, let's ask the empire's elite black knight here. Five, but let's get three of them on their way to exorcising this killer."

And Akechi asked the five black knights to gather together, in which he sorted three of his arms.

"... these three?"

"Yeah? Did you have any anxiety?

"... no, it's okay"

One of the three black knights chosen was eyeballing her. It seemed like I was saying it was okay.

"Do you know their faces, etc?

"That's unknown, but no one steps into this mountain range first. So if anyone walks through this mountain range, that's definitely the enemy."

That's how Akechi smiled.
