Magic Gems Gourmet

Upon returning to the castle, Sylvard set up a space for Ein's measure, where he received reports from Katima and Dill.

Sylvard was deeply puzzled by what seemed serious, and that Katima had set up a place for discussion - but he cheered full of joy as he chose the place for discussion.

The cheer echoed even outside between the eyes.

Ain, who had listened to the report beforehand, realized outside his eyes that the report would have passed.

Is there something wrong?and many of the people who were watching the situation outside still seemed to have no points of contact.

But with Sylvard calling out from within, everyone stays together.

While the words of celebration were being uttered in great magnanimity, Ain left the scene after a short time.

Alone, he immerses himself in memories by looking at the castle town through the window that opens out into the garden.

― ― ― When I noticed, I've done a lot of things.

Born in a faraway Heim, I've experienced a lot of abandoned and unusual things at home.

Even after I moved to Ishtarika, and since I started going to school, I have had many friends.... and my precious knight.

The knight was offered his life at his own risk.

Ein has been thinking about it ever since he heard that he had a child.

We need to make sure we don't take her around for a while.

Even if I had to go away on business, I wouldn't be taking Dill around under the circumstances.

I'm sure he'll tell you to follow him, but Ein wants Dill to be in the King's City as much as possible, and that's where he wants to be next to Katima.

I'm a little nervous, but that's better.

Ain, who had made up his mind, decided to consult with the Krones even tonight.

Oh, Ein-sama.

It was Marco who suddenly called out.

"What did you do here?"I thought you and I would be delighted... "

I thought I'd have to think about Dill's schedule.

"If that's the case, I'll take care of it."We'll check it out among the knights. "

As usual, Marco said that he could rely on it lightly, and he nodded to Ein's thoughts.

... then Dill will be by Katima's side as much as possible.

It was time to loosen her cheeks as she watched the reassuring Ein spread across the royal capital.

(What... that)

Ein felt uncomfortable with the shadows at the edge of his sight.

It's an airship.

However, I was usually supposed to stay on the outskirts of the Imperial City, but I was concerned that I stayed offshore quite a bit today.

Apparently, Marco was also concerned and looked at him with narrow eyes.

It's not normal.

"Huh. Something went wrong."

I want to go and see how it goes, if possible.

But Ein doesn't know much about airships, not even magic tools.

"...... Marco can't play with magic tools, can he?"

"Once upon a time, I learned a little under Sylvia-sama."However, I think the technology is different from that of modern times... but if there is something unusual, I can confirm it. "

"Okay, let's go."

Ein immediately said so and left the room.

Withholding half a step back, Marco realized his intention.

I'm sure he's trying to find out for himself before he gets a report to the castle.

Don't let the water splash before the celebration of the knight who serves you.

Marco didn't object because he thought so.

Always be gentle and courageous as you arrive at the master's footsteps.

On the way, he told the passing Kingsguard that he was going out for a bit.

◇◇◇◇

Ain, who came to the port with his feet on the ground, lined up with Marco and looked out at the sea.

But I came to the conclusion that I didn't have to think straight away.

Maybe we should run faster.

For the time being, we thought about boarding the ship and going offshore.

However, if you are worried about the possibility of an emergency, you should run faster while growing roots in the sea.

That's right.

The instant Marco and I laughed face to face and tried to rush out.

"Aren't you, Your Highness!"It's too early to swim. "

Mutton, who had a workshop nearby, came and called out.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mutton. Just hurry up."

"Oh... my lord, is that about the airship?"

Shearling seemed surprised to see the airship floating at sea.

Ain, who wanted to get close to the airship immediately, replied with a slightly busy voice, "Yes."

Then Mutton laughed high and laid his hand on Ein's shoulder.

Then I'll help you.

"Wait, do you want to help me?"

"Oh no, if the airship tells me, it's a big magic tool, right?"I can also play with magic tools like this. "

But if something should happen to the furnace and it becomes dangerous ─ ─ ─

"Is that what His Highness says?"― ― ― Hey, Mister, it's safer to be next to His Highness, no matter what you do.

Sheaton asked Marco, who was by his side, and he replied, "Of course."

"If that's the case, that's fine." See, if your Highness didn't understand... what would you have done if the airship had actually broken down?Your Highness, you can't play with demon tools, can you? "

That's why I brought Marco here.

Ein-sama, Lord Mutton is more skilled than I am.

Pushed by Marco, Ein decided.

"...... can I carry Mr. Mutton on my back?"

"Oh, I asked for it."

In the end, Ein decided to get help from Mutton and reached out to Mutton.

However, Marco was on his back and told Ain to run ahead.

Taking advantage of that, Ein hung the sea while producing the roots of the trees.

The sight he showed the people of King's Landing also bears witness, reaffirming the greatness of Ain, who is regarded as a hero.

While listening to a slight cheer, Ein hangs offshore in an instant.

The approaching airship is anchored several dozen meters above sea level.

From the outside, no abnormality appears to have occurred in the airship.

But Ein doesn't know what's going on inside, and that's probably why Ein doesn't know what's going on, just like Mutton said.

I prayed that there would be no problem as I ran along the wavy surface of the sea.

Eventually, Ein stops his legs.

The scent of the tide deepened even further off the coast of the capital, looking up from underneath the airship.

Are you both okay?

"I don't have a problem..."

"Oh, oh... don't worry...!"

Mutton was a little drunk.

I can't help it because I ran along the sea surface at high speed, but I'm slightly sorry even if it's an offer from Shearling.

I have to thank you very much later.

Ain smiled bitterly, and now stretched the root of the tree upward and laid it on the side of the entrance of the airship.

This time, jump up to the entrance of the airship.

The last blow dealt heavy damage to Mutton, but he was desperate not to vomit.

This plane was supposed to be headed under Fuorun Elders.

Several knights and researchers greet Ain as he steps inside.

But all of them were unconscious and lying on the floor.

"Oh, oh... this is... something happened..."

Ain and Marco touched the bodies of the fallen as they watched in amazement at Mutton.

It's okay. It's warm.

Besides, she's breathing, so she's just losing consciousness.

Ein-sama, what should we do?

"... let's evacuate Ms. Mutton and then carefully explore the inside."

"Don't worry about me!"Even so, it seems safer next to your Highness! "

It was Ein who wondered what the problem was, but since she repeatedly told Mutton not to worry about it, she decided to leave it to Marco and proceeded with the ship.

Others, including sailors, were found to have fallen.

As he continued deeper, Ain could not stop remembering the strange uncomfortable feeling.

If you compare that discomfort, it's like dripping a drop of fresh blood on pure white paper...

It seemed like an indescribable sign.

Ain, who walked towards the sign, arrived in a room located at the edge of the airship.

A metal door opened, and a knight was lying on the bed, breathing in agony.

Ein-sama, look at that.

Marco said that his gear was lined up next to the knight lying on the bed.

There is a bracelet there that the knights roughly don't wear.

The bracelet was engraved with an unfamiliar pattern, and the jewels were instantly embedded in pale.

From the bracelet, the same glowing ripples float in the air.

Ain touched the ripples, piercing her fingertips!I felt a stiff numbness.

However, when I looked back on the ship, it was slight, but I felt a feeling similar to the numbness I have now.

Behind me.

Ein shields Marco and Mutton from the ripples.

Shearling opened his mouth as he saw the rippling bracelet.

"--It's a blood tablet (,,,)"

Ein opens his eyes to the mixed voice of surprise.

Marco did the same, and he asked Mutton the true meaning of his words.

Lord Shearton, is that a Dwarf Blood Lock?

Oh, it's a magic tool with a shitty trick that was built by an old dwarf.

Mutton, who said so, leaves Marco's back and stands on his own.

Looking at Ein's face, which she wants to explain, Mutton continues by saying, "I know."

"A special ripple that destabilizes the flow of magic power flowing through the body and affects the human body."If it's been that way for a long time, of course you can die.The ones who fell just now must have been overshadowed by the ripples that had just arrived. "

After hearing the explanation, Ein knows why the airship stayed on the sea.

(The crew that felt the anomaly made them go this far so as not to cause damage to the capital.)

I can't think of any other reason.

Ein pays tribute to their courage and decides that they must be saved immediately.

Well, we need to break it down and stop it.

"Well, I'll take care of it."An ancient thing like that, it's a bit of a problem for me.If you think it's some kind of evidence, you'd better be safe, right? "

How to stop it, but first Mouton approached the bed, protected by Ein.He starts working quickly with the tools he pulled out of his pocket while taking some of the ripples emanating from his bracelet.

Beside him, Ein thought as she stared at the work.

(Who would do this?)

Also, I felt a new discomfort.

Regardless of how many researchers there were, the knights who accompanied them were usually the best knights in the capital.

It's hard to believe they've been in this situation with them.

The sound of Karan was soon heard in Ein's ear.

Shearling lightly finished his work, removing a stone similar to a jewel from his bracelet.

Then Marco, who had confirmed it, went to see what was happening to those who had fallen.

"... what the hell is this?"

Shearling continues to look at the stopped blood locks.

"'I won't let you take it away'?" I don't really understand. It's engraved like that. "

I also looked at Ain, who noticed that there were not many unfamiliar characters engraved on it.

But if you think about it carefully, the door that leads to the world where I fought with Giant God Verguk is similar to the lettering that was engraved there.

In other words, it's an old-fashioned character.

(Even if it's called robbery......, Ms. Mutton, you can read that letter......)

After a few minutes, Marco returns to the two of them with their necks hanging on the contents written in the lettering.

Apparently, there was a man who regained consciousness, and he heard the end of things from him.

"It seems that the person who was sleeping in your bed was on his way to investigate the place where the elder of Huorun lived.However, even though it was regular time, he did not return, and when others went to explore, they found him falling in the forest. "

"Thank you.... but I don't think I ever wondered why I wore such a bracelet."

"I don't think so, Your Highness."Looks like this one was set up to fit in with my armpits.By activating the effect, it was separated. "

Mutton affirmed that it was not the knight's fault or alarm.

Of course, Ein didn't doubt the Knight, so he didn't believe in strength.That's why I wanted to know why they found themselves in this situation.

(Either way)

We must free those who have fallen.

Ein confirms that there are no more suspicious signs and leaves this room later.I went underneath those who had fallen, and I was relieved that there were no dead.
