69. Day 3, Silfia Andres (1)
1.
“Would you like some more?”
“It’s not even grandma on some holiday, but she’s trying to feed me something. She’s already full?”
“No, it’s because I’m full just by watching them eat.”
Smile.
Rasil, who had been sitting on her chin and watching me eat without even touching her portion of the meal, sneakily held out her own plate. And I returned the plate back in its original state.
Who do you know as a pig?
Like the grandmother I met in the countryside on holiday, I was anxious because I couldn’t keep feeding, but unfortunately, my stomach capacity was already at its limit to eat it all.
From the beginning, I thought that even a mixed chicken was impossible. How can a person eat a chicken all by himself?
“You really don’t have to eat more? The chef at my house cooks well. It won’t be bad. I thought he did better than the chef at Weiss Mansion.”
“Me?”
“Once upon a time.”
“That’s true, but… Somehow, I don’t remember saying that.”
“Before, you came to my house after some time had passed. It didn’t come this soon. A few years later?”
Yes. This is the right conversation.
A conversation in which no one is deceived and only one is deceived, although he did not show it on the outside, there was no sense of frustration.
That’s why I went and openly knew that you returned anyway, right? You can’t say
How frustrated have you been?
“Well, if you want to stop eating, you can stop eating.”
“If you say that, it’s like I’m just not in the mood for food. I’m really full.”
“It’s a pity.”
I rolled my eyes at Rasil, who responded succinctly.
I can’t suddenly increase the amount of food I usually eat just because I say that.
“Do you really want to wake up after you finish eating?”
“Are you going to the capital?”
“Yeah, that’s right. There’s probably someone who’s been waiting for this since morning by now. Oops, technically speaking, it’s not a person.”
“Is it Sylphia’s turn today…?”
“Perhaps.”
He shrugged his shoulders as he roughly shoved the last slice of bread into his mouth.
I didn’t particularly like the idea of arranging the order of people as if they were using things, but since it’s a special issue right now, I decided to make some exceptions.
I don’t like it here? You don’t have to put up a fight field saying “Ebebeb”. In a way, it’s a situation where I can’t be in the imperial palace anyway while the birthday party is going on, and if I change my point of view a little bit, I wonder if it can be regarded as playing around with me.
“It’s not even nine o’clock in the morning yet. I can’t believe I’m already waiting.”
“Yes?”
Rasil’s expression changed strangely after hearing my words, and he took out a magic artifact commonly used for communication from her arms.
I wondered if he was skillfully manipulating the artifact, and then Rashil muttered.
“It’s seven forty in the morning.”
“What is it?”
“The time when this contact came. I didn’t even respond, but seeing as I even left a message like this, it seems like you’re waiting anxiously?”
Racel’s unknown words were barely finished, and I wondered if Rasil was manipulating the artifact again, and a shrill voice leaked out.
– When are you coming! What time is it now! Keep your promise!
Clear shouting from the artifact.
I asked with a puzzled expression.
“Are you in touch now?”
“No, the call came at 7:40 in the morning. Did I tell you? I’ll be waiting anxiously.”
“…Sylfia definitely didn’t have that kind of image at first.”
“You haven’t been through it yet. That’s all pretense. Anyway, let’s get going.”
“Okay.”
Rashil, exhausted, raised her body, throwing her livery coat over her shoulders.
Um.
Anyway, I feel that coat every time I see it, but I think it would look really good if the word justice was written in Chinese characters on the back of the coat.
People think the same everywhere.
2.
“It’s late.”
As soon as I stepped on top of the moving magic circle, the light flashed.
A naval admiral in overall command of the Imperial Southern Fleet. At least in the Ezeland Empire, there were few proofs of identity that were more than that, so he could have skipped all the complicated procedures and flew straight into the magic circle.
Before the lights could even go out, Sylphia, with her arms crossed, looked at us with a dissatisfied expression, at Rasil to be exact, and muttered crookedly.
“Isn’t it too urgent? It’s not even 10 am yet. Take some time to live. Anyway, life span is the longest of the two.”
“Compared to Nosferatu, I don’t know who lives longer. Could you please stop talking like it’s confirmed?”
“Anyway, from there to there. Non-humans are the same as you and Arwen.”
“I really don’t want to lose a word to the end. I don’t like it.”
“As if I liked something.”
In contrast to Sylphia, who has a very crooked face, Rashil responds with a smirk.
As if I didn’t get tired of it, I sighed as I looked at the two of them exchanging refreshing sarcastic remarks in the morning saying that it was nice to meet them as soon as they met.
When the hell are you going to grow up?
I gave up because I felt like if I tried to stop fighting, it would only cut my life span. It was at this point that I began to seriously consider that there was a possibility.
What are the possibilities?
Inference that the reason I died in my previous life was not because of my natural constitution, but because I was stressed and died from a vase.
I wonder if that also makes sense.
“Then I have something to look for. Have fun, Rudrick.”
“Oh.”
A hand pushed me from behind, and I was stunned.
When I turned around, Rasil, who was standing there with a smile on his face, waved her hand lightly and winked her eyes at me.
“Did I tell you, Rudric? What should I say if that dragon with no conscience tries to do something strange?”
“Don’t treat people like that weird!”
Sylphia, who suddenly became a dragon with no conscience, screamed loudly, but Rasil, who didn’t care, quickly disappeared, wrapped in the light of the moving magic circle that was activated again.
The capital came back in one day.
Her Sylpia, who was glaring at the place where her Rasil disappeared, chewed on her.
“To be rude.”
“……What’s so mean?”
“It’s obvious, Rudric. Seeing how you keep reminding me that I’m not human. I’ve been using that way since the old days. I’m not a human, but a dragon. What can I say?”
Silpia grumbled and naturally held out her hand.
The feeling of holding a woman’s hand every day was quite strange, but I couldn’t embarrass myself by slashing her outstretched hand.
Sylphia asked as soon as I grabbed her hand.
“So what shall we do today?”
“Isn’t that the line I usually have to ask?”
“That’s right.”
Kick.
Sylpia let out a short laugh and shrugged her shoulders.
Then, her mana began to gather around her within seconds. In an instant, magical power with enough cohesion to be discernible with the naked eye was tangible.
The eyes of the wizards who manage her movement magic circle widened wide, and I was able to recognize that her magical energy gathered around her was a precursor to a phenomenon.
“……Space teleportation magic?”
“I didn’t just sit and play for two days. I made some hypotheses to test in the early stages of my symptoms, but let’s start with those.”
Sylphia smiled.
And at the same time as the mana that had been gathered to the full exploded, a white halo instantly filled the field of view.
By the time the light that obscured the view disappeared, it had been a long time since the surrounding scenery had changed to a place other than the capital.
“……Where is this place?”
The surrounding area was a place I had never been to in my life.
In a dense forest where it is difficult to find human traces. Rather, when I went out to subdue monsters, it felt similar to the forest where I wandered in search of monsters.
Sylphia immediately answered, terrifyingly asking with a puzzled face.
“It’s near my rare.”
“Is it rare…?”
Rare of dragons.
In many legends and tales handed down in this world, it was a known place where a greedy dragon hid the treasures it had accumulated over its lifetime, and drove intruders to death with numerous traps and monsters.
Simply put, the dragon’s house.
Perhaps she misunderstood my question with a different meaning, Sylphia kindly added an additional explanation.
“My lair has variable coordinate magic so I can’t move right away. The coordinates on the dimension axis are constantly changing in real time, so I can’t move at once with magic. But I can walk for about 15 minutes to come out. It’s okay, Rudrick?”
“……Is this a dragon?”
It was a simple explanation, but now I, who had the qualities of a great wizard in my own way, was a high level magic gun that could not be imitated.
I was able to bet on my left hand. Master wouldn’t be able to follow that too?
In the first place, the magic Master showed me the other day had a level of difficulty similar to this one. Opening the door to the source to explore the truth is, in a way, magic that opens a passage to a dimension…….
The fact that they casually cast such magic on their own rarity for security purposes made me realize how much the Dragon race is capable of magic.
“It’s such a simple magic that even a hatchling can use it.”
“……Then I’ll be less than a hatchling.”
“……I didn’t mean that. Still, with Rudrick’s talent, it shouldn’t take long. A year or so?”
“Not comforting at all.”
“…….”
Sylphia made a puzzled expression. An expression that doesn’t know what to say.
Seeing that expression, I reflexively picked and laughed.
Sylphea, realizing that it was just a prank, cleared her throat with a reddened face.
“……Hmmm, anyway, the reason I brought Rudrick to Rare is simple.”
“Didn’t you say you had something to experiment with?”
“That’s right. Rudrick seems to think lightly that he has a lot of time, but I’m not.”
Sylfia’s expression became quite serious.
“The dragon race doesn’t immerse itself that deeply in entertainment in the first place. But do you know why being so deeply immersed in entertainment is treated as a taboo for the species?”
“Because it’s a dragon.”
“That’s right.”
It was an easy question to answer.
For simple crime prevention, they are a race that can use magic at a level that human archmages will spend their entire lives researching. I don’t know, but it’s obvious that if you start getting involved in the human world in earnest, it will bring a big wave.
I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but Sylpia’s expression made me feel a bit frightened.
“I made up my mind to break the taboo and try my hand at it, but I failed… It was a rare experience.”
“……Ah.”
“So don’t take Rudrick too lightly.”
Sylphia resolutely drew a line.
“I didn’t mean to worry. I’ll find a way somehow, so don’t worry. Just keep in mind that I, a dragon, have already failed once.”
…… Saying this makes me a bit uneasy.
In an instant, they gave a lot of scares, gave them sickness, and gave them medicine.
“So before the symptoms get worse in earnest, I’m going to experiment with several methods today.”
“……If you say that, it’s like I’ve become a lab mouse.”
“It’s different. I’ve been thinking of a plausible way for two days.”
The corners of Sylphia’s mouth went up.
…… I’m really anxious.
I prayed that I didn’t have the qualities of a mad scientist who was next to me that I didn’t know about, and I shook my brain as if giving up.
“Please don’t hurt me.”
