I left "Village of Fira" and went back to Torrias Castle Town, the next day.

Odette and Ophelia, a line from Count Torrias, returned to town.

Around noon, a queue walks down the main street of town, along with the sound of a bell.

At the beginning there is a carriage ridden by Count Torrias and Ophelia.

Beyond the window is the Count and Ophelia, waving at the gathered crowds.

It's Odette sitting in the opposite seat. You look embarrassed for some reason, but you're shrinking.

Soldiers continued behind the carriage.

In the middle of the queue was a luggage car pulled by a horse.

The carrier is covered with a large cloth.

I saw red armor (like that) from the gap in the cloth.

The one on the carrier is probably, "Beast King (Lord = of =) Ride (Beast)".

People's legs also stick out from the edge of the cloth.

Is that the guy who was on The Beast King's Ride? Tied up in chains, they seem to be restrained.

There are a lot of people down the road.

I'm confused there, too, but... it's hard to see before.

This body is only thirteen years old. I haven't grown any taller.

With all this crowd, it's hard to see the front with the head of the previous person in the way.

Sneak jump, 'cause I'm reducing my fall speed with' Flight Skills', but if I wasn't, I'd almost see nothing. Dangerous.

"─ You know what, brother? Talk about the northern town being attacked by a giant demon."

When I was called out, I put my heel down to the ground.

Looking to the side, an old woman looked at me with an excited face.

"Looks like the Northern Empire was up to something bad. The Count and Princess Ophelia went to see how the soldiers were in the north town. That's where the demon showed up."

"Yes, I've heard rumors."

"But hey, it wasn't just a demon that showed up, it was King's Ride (Road), which appears in ancient legends. He was manipulating demons with a bark like a beast!

"Ho."

"So that's where I rushed to freshen up, the black armor with wings! He flew through the sky like a flying dragon (Wyburn) and cleaned up the red 'King's Ride'!

"Did that happen?"

"Oh, even more so, the Duke's lady covered the black armor with the bat. I've been alive a long time, too, but hey. I've never heard that before!!

The woman is talking nasally.

I've lived a long time, but have you ever talked about this before?

That's all, now is the time for peace. Wow. Iris' father's royal family.

I'd be relieved if times like this continued.

"And besides... this is still a rumor."

"Yes?"

The story of a woman was still going on.

Because of the louder voices, the women around us and even the children are coming together.

"Actually, the baron's magician was the one who manipulated the bat!

... Is that it?

"I hear you personally couldn't move because of the power you gave the bats. Thanks to the magician at the Baron's house, the bats were able to use powerful magic. I hear the Count said it!

"I know that story! He's a soldier. You said so. The sorcerer said he owed his life!!

"Wow. Where are you? The person."

"You know what, kid? You must be close enough to keep an eye on us."

"That's right. Ohh!

It was a big buzz.

I missed the time to walk away. Running away now would be too conspicuous.

Until we're done talking about the people in town, it looks like you should just stand quietly.

"... excuse me. Are you Yuki-Grossalia?

If that's what you think, someone accidentally called out from behind me.

Looking back, there stood the town guard.

"Black eyes on dark hair. My age is in my early teens. The food is a black robe… as the Count said."

The guard has looked at the parchment on hand and checked my appearance many times.

"I'm home again. Are you from the Baron family belonging to the 'Sorcery Guild' and are you sure it's even Yuki-Grossalia?

"" "" Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, ""

"... yes"

I nodded in a hurry as people's voices sounded.

"What can I do for you? No, whatever you need, come here."

I walk out of the crowd.

Behind you, people's bragging. That keeps spreading.

"No way, that's the Lord of Bats who fought the red 'King's Ride' …"

"It was true that he was resting, giving the demon all his magic..."

"If it weren't for that one, we wouldn't have been able to defeat the red 'King's Ride'..."

Looking back, I even looked at the soldiers along the way.

Well, okay.

Me and Odette will be back in King's Capital soon.

Without him, rumors will disappear.

Besides, if I was giving magic to the demon of use away... it would be proof that someone else was manipulating the black 'King's Ride'. No problem.

"So, what can I do for you?

I spoke to the guards.

"Count Torrias said. Yuki and Odette, thank you very much."

The female guard, for some reason, saluted me and said that.

"And I have a message for you from Odette-Sray, the Duke's maid."

"From Odette?

"Yes. I couldn't deceive you. I'm sorry,"

..................... Oh well.

Then, can't you help it?

I decided to follow the guard.

"............ I see. I mean, Yuki, which injected all the magic into those bats and adjusted them so that they could use the same sorcery as themselves. But you couldn't use your magic to move..."

This is the reception room at Torrias Castle.

The guards called me in. I was talking to Count Torrias.

"Exactly. Ophelia, the user demon I left with told the princess that the danger was imminent, so I did it for help. I don't know about that armor with the wings of pitch black. However, since we were able to fight together today, I don't think we are enemies..."

"Right. It was a terrible incident."

Count Torrias sighed like tired.

"It is also unclear whether the Beast King (Lord of) Ride (Beast) is really the legendary King's Ride (Lord). That will now be examined with the help of the 'Sorcery Guild' …"

"Did anyone who was using that tell you anything?

"Only information about the base. Nothing else."

"Base... did you find out where his Ajit was..."

"Later, the soldiers are going to investigate. If you don't mind, would you mind accompanying Yuki?

"Right. Let me accompany you."

It's a suggestion I don't even wish for.

That user of the Beast King (Lord = of =) Ride (Beast) described himself as the descendant of the "Kingdom of Guerrasts" (Mamae).

"The Kingdom of Guerrust" is the name of a country that perished with the "Church of the Sanctuary", taking part in the Eight Kings War.

If they're in Azito, they might have a clue what the post-war 'Sanctuary Church' did.

"Nevertheless... I wonder who that 'armor of pitch black' was"

Leaving his body behind the chair, Count Torrias sighed.

"Is that also 'King's Ride (Road)'? If so, the users of 'King's Ride' may be arguing with each other. If so... the 'Eight Kings War' may come back..."

"No, I don't think so"

"... Really?

"If the 'Eight Kings War' were to return, the Lord of Black Armor would also be giving his name to which royal descendants he is. each other, as representatives of the royal family. But it wasn't, was it?

"Sure...... The only one who spoke of the old royal name was the Beast King Ride."

"Then the black armor (okay) must have appeared for another purpose. Apart from what it's all about, I don't think it means the 'Eight Kings War' is coming back."

"Right."

Count Torrias felt relieved, pulling out his shoulder strength.

You seem convinced.

I'd rather not use that black "King's Ride (Road)" until it's almost cold.

That's not for combat in the first place, I'm going to use it for research.

It would be a waste to break (wrinkle) a battle or something. Let's take care of it.

"I would like to thank Yuki for that."

Count Torrias got his hands on the table and stepped up to me.

"Yuki and Odette saved my daughter's life. Say anything."

"That being said, I don't have anything in particular I want..."

If I insist, enough to get the site of 'Village of Fira' off-limits...... you'd be suspicious if I mentioned that.

Besides, there's no way to follow that place now.

Unless you can fly in the sky, it's impossible to get there. Because the Bat Corps also protects me.

The "Magic Guild" would appreciate it, as the bats of the user demons have found out that they have cooperated in the "Beast King's Ride" exorcism. That's enough.

So... right.

"Can I have some sweet ingredients? And lend me the kitchen."

I said.

I found "Vanilla Flowers" on the mountain.

Long time no see, let's make snacks for kids.

- And then, after a while...

"You're annoying me. Yuki, your conversation with the Count is over.

An hour later.

In the guest room, Odette and Ofelia were just having tea.

Ophelia took a seat when she looked at me and knelt in front of her.

"Dear True Lord... Thank you for saving my father and my life. I will never forget this grace."

"Gyoshi Jun. There's Garm too.

Next to it, Garm, the user demon, rang his throat.

Ophelia nodded, as if she understood the word,

"Right. Mr. Garm was at my side, so I could also calm down and wait for True Road. Cliff the bat... I can't thank you enough for True Lord and the devil."

"Cliff and Garm, keep Ophelia looking after him."

I had a former puppy, Garm, and a bat cliff on the back.

Garm is getting pretty strong after eating the 'Armed Auga' crystal.

Perfect for an Ophelia escort.

Let Cliff stay in touch with me.

"Then he also tells the bat corps in 'Village of Fira' to contact Ophelia if anything happens. I don't think the site of the village has been vandalized... but do you mind if I leave it to you to manage?

"Of course! That place is where my mother and I have been singing... so..."

Ofelia looked at me in the light.

"I would love to make this True Road event a song..."

"If that's about as good as pointing a bat army at you. Hopefully, it helps to make personal information feel blurry"

"Wow, I get it. As you wish."

"Thank you. Then, try this. And Odette."

I put a plate on the table.

What's on the plate is the baked sweets I just made in the kitchen.

It's a thin baked treat, with 'vanilla lala' seeds inside.

It's a mixture of honey and 'vanilla' honey.

"That's a rare treat. I'll have it."

"Others...... I don't know about this treat either."

Odette and Ophelia reach for baked confectionery.

They took a bite of it and...

"Oh. That's sweet. I like the texture of the seeds in there. It's delicious, this!

"It's delicious. And... it tastes familiar."

"This was a treat I used to make when I was Dean-Nosferatu in my last life."

"Really?

"True Road treats......"

Odette looks like she's having fun and Ofelia's eyes are round as touched.

But it's not that much.

This is made for children by combining ingredients that can be picked near the village.

I don't have a name, and I'm the only one who knows the recipe.

It's the only advantage of being able to do it quickly and tummy. Kids in the village, we're gonna move around. We have to feed them snacks at 10: 00 and 15: 00, or they won't last till night.

"'Vanilla Lala Flowers' is a must. There are only a few places to pick them, so I couldn't make them in the Baron Territory. I haven't made it in a long time, so I'm not sure about the flavor..."

I took my share and tried it.

... That tastes just like old times. Isn't that bad?

"Is this a treat that nobody knew about 200 years ago? I feel like I'm having a valuable experience."

"It's not that big of a deal. Odette."

"You'd be flattered if Iris asked."

"Please don't tell me around."

"Right. If Iris had arrived a little faster, we could have eaten together."

Odette mouthed the treat and then made him laugh mischievously.

"Iris should be on his way with the Sorcery Guild now."

"Really?

I saw Ophelia.

Ofelia nodded.

"Speaking of which, you said Natasha was going to Wang Du for help. But isn't it too soon?

"They found out the Empire was involved in the attack on Sister Natasha by 'Armed Auga'."

"So they decided that Princess Iris would come as the representative of the 'Magic Guild'. My father said."

Odette's words, Ofelia took over.

"Arriving?

"It's going to be the day after tomorrow."

"Okay. Hey, I'm gonna go get some 'Vanilla Lala Flowers' now."

"How far are you overprotective? Yuki."

Odette laughed bitterly.

"Iris is the eighth princess of the Kingdom of Liestia, isn't she? I wouldn't be in a bad mood if I missed a treat."

"Really?

"Yes. If anything happens, I'll tell you."

Odette strained his chest.

"And tomorrow, Yuki and I will have something to do, right?

"The Beast King (Lord = of =) Riding (Beast)"... his exploration of Azit, or "

Sure, you should clean that up first.

I made sure there weren't any friends lurking in Ajito.

Besides, if he and The Sanctuary Church were working together... there might be a lead on Lyle and Remilia in the place.

Lyle, who was called "Sage of Betrayal," and his wife Remilia, and Alice's sister Meer.

Suppose we can get word of them...... we should check before Iris gets here.

"... If possible, I'd like to help too..."

"Ophelia will wait here for me. When Princess Iris arrives, give her an explanation for The Beast King's Ride. I'll have Garm help me with the investigation instead of Ophelia."

"Okay. True Lord."

'I'll follow you -. Oshi-jun.'

Garm, my ex-pupple, flattened my hand.

Odette is scratching Garm's back. Though Odette looks more comfortable than Garm.

Well, let's take a day off and go explore tomorrow with the soldiers.

What information does Ajito have left... though I don't know yet.
