68 – Let’s go on a trip abroad with my master (4)
Ael, who dragged Einer to the corner of the hall, suddenly hugged him around the waist.
“What’s going on?”
However, Ael said nothing and buried her face in Aine’s arms, squinting at her woman.
The woman looked in this direction as if somewhat surprised, but then turned her body and disappeared in the other direction.
Only after the woman had completely disappeared did Ael loosen Einor’s waist.
“I’m sorry, master…”
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing… I’m just embarrassed to be alone…”
“Ahahahaha. Was that something like that? I’m sorry.”
Einor smiled and stroked Ael’s head.
Then Ael immediately felt better again.
The woman spoke to her earlier, but the master obviously shook her head.
I don’t know what was said, but the owner clearly stated his refusal.
And now he is stroking my head like this.
“By the way, you look really pretty dressed like this. I didn’t recognize you when I first saw you.”
“hehehe. Master too… You look just like a prince…”
Ael wriggled and approached Einer again.
Ael hesitantly tries to hug his waist again.
“The medal is nice.”
Ael, who was about to be hugged by Einor while breathing heavily, fell in surprise.
Chief Wizard Brione approached and asked.
“The event is over and we should go now, right?”
When I tilted my head, not knowing where I was going, Brione explained.
“He has contributed greatly to the kingdom, but we can’t just give him a medal and send him away. By order of His Majesty, I will show you a good place.”
“Good place…?”
But instead of explaining, Brione gestured with her chin as if telling me to follow her.
“Where are you going?”
“I don’t know either. They said they were going to a tourist city, but they didn’t tell me exactly.”
“Hey…What are you trying to show me…?”
Einer and Ael went back to the reception room and changed into the clothes they came with.
As soon as he took off his formal clothes, Einer took a deep breath.
After all, a guy like me is better off in Da Da, where the sea breeze blows, rather than somewhere like this.
Einor and Ael followed Brione in the carriage and left the castle again.
The bones of monsters scattered across the plains outside the castle were truly spectacular, no matter how many times I saw them.
Although Einer flew and crawled on the Eastern Front, he has never faced something so formidable.
Because the great powers of the continent are concentrated in the northwest, it seems that all the monsters controlled by the Demon King’s army have come this way.
But no matter how powerful the Berabche is, how did it manage to prevent all that?
It’s truly amazing.
The carriage continued to run and stopped in front of the old warehouse building where it had first entered through the portal.
Inside, Brione opened the portal and spoke to us.
“If you go, someone will be waiting for you. Show me this.”
Brione handed Einer a small note.
It was a kind of pass with the royal seal guaranteeing the identity of Einer and Ael.
“Aren’t you going with me?”
“I have a lot of work to do here. You two, please go.”
Brione looked quite bothered by something.
All wizards are like that, so Einer is like that.
“Goodbye, everyone.”
“Hello, wizard!”
Ael bowed with his forehead touching the floor.
“Then let’s go, Ael.”
“Yes, master!”
Ael, who was afraid to go through the portal, clung to Einer’s arm.
Just like that, the two went through a portal that opened somewhere.
* * * * *
“Wow!”
As soon as he came out of the portal, Ael let out a scream-like exclamation with all his might.
Einer was also somewhat surprised.
It would be surprising to see a blue dragon looking down from above with its huge head.
Einer, who had been habitually grabbing his belt, felt frustrated when he realized that he had not brought his sword.
No, even if you have a sword, what can you do against a dragon?
But soon Einer realized that his actions were stupid.
The dragon looking down at them did not even blink, because it was already dead.
The neatly cut head of a dragon was hung on the outer wall above the wide entrance on the left and right, expressionlessly looking down at the people passing through the entrance.
Oh my god, it’s a dragon headdress.
“Is that real…?”
“I think so.”
Einer roughly guessed where the portal led.
There is no one on the continent who does not know about Rurtzog, the ill-fated blue dragon.
A dragon that suddenly appeared in Berabche and caused a ruckus before being decapitated by another dragon.
I heard that the head was used as a decoration at an inn in a certain city. Is that where it came from?
But an inn? Here?
Looking up at the enormous ten-story building, Einer wondered again whether what he knew was wrong.
What kind of bastard’s inn is this big?
At that time, someone shouted towards us from the other side.
“Hey, Edie! What are you doing there!”
When she turned her head, she saw a cold-looking woman with horns on her head coming towards her.
Horns on the head? Is it a demon?
“Don’t keep moving around and take care of your postpartum care… Huh?”
The woman standing in front of Ael looked at Ael and Einer in confusion.
“Oh, by any chance, Mr. Einer?”
“That’s right. I just came through a portal.”
“I see. I’m sorry. You look so much like someone I know that I was mistaken.”
Felei slightly bowed her head to Ael.
“Welcome to the Blue Dragon Tomb Hotel. My name is Felei, the hotel manager.”
“Hello, this is Einer Kafford.”
“It’s Ael!”
“I received a call from the Royal Castle. They said you have accomplished a great feat.”
“It’s no big deal. But is that head Rurtzog?”
“That’s right. It’s the head of Rurtzog, who was killed by the red dragon Atergar. It’s used as a decoration.”
“It’s amazing, really…”
Einor looked up at Rurtzog’s head in admiration again.
In addition, the panoramic view of the hotel soaring into the sky.
Ael, who had been looking at the woman’s horns from before, hesitated and spoke to her cautiously.
“Are you… A demon…?”
“That’s right. I heard they are demons too. Nice to meet you.”
“Ah, yes…”
Although she was the same demon, unlike Ael, that woman was very tall.
It was natural for Ael, who was proud of her magnificent body, to be intimidated by her.
“Come in. I’ll tell you the schedule while we eat.”
Einer and Ael entered the hotel and their eyes widened in surprise for the second time.
The lobby of the hotel was enormous.
If we were to exaggerate a little more, it would be almost equivalent to the royal castle of Berabche.
The high ceiling of the duplex structure was lined with rainbow-colored chandeliers, and the floor and walls were all a luxurious gray stone wall.
The marble pieces beneath the gently floating magical luminescence were as vivid as if they were alive.
Also, I don’t know what this means, but it was very cool inside.
Could it be that a cooling spell was cast on this large space?
But that is impossible because it is too expensive.
Anyway, although it was crowded with people, the lobby was very comfortable.
“The restaurant is this way.”
As I crossed the lobby and went inside, I saw a very luxurious restaurant with round tables lined up appropriately.
There was already a table set up there for Einer and Ael.
“hehehe?! What is all this?!”
Ael swallowed his saliva at the dinner that was so big that the table legs broke.
As soon as I sat down, short girls with red hair came running over to me, unfolding napkins, pouring wine, and chatting.
Looking at the long ears and green eyes, they all seemed to be half-elves, a mixed race with elves.
Half-elves are so severely discriminated against that they are almost never able to work in places like this. What is the situation?
The food was so delicious that I can’t describe it in words.
Pellei says that it was made by one of the kingdom’s leading chefs who graduated from the royal cooking academy.

“It’s really the best, oh my god! It’s so, so delicious!”
Ael praised Wagu Wagu while eating food despite losing face.
“Hey, I wonder if I can make a dish like this someday.”
“Cooking? Do you run a restaurant?”
Ael nodded her head in response to Felei’s question.
“I run a small restaurant in Daham. The owner opened it. The menu now is pork belly.”
“Pork belly? You mean the one used to make bacon?”
“Yes, yes. If you bake it, it’s very delicious.”
Ael was excited and showed Fellay how to make pork belly.
Felay listened carefully and nodded.
“I see. ALC seems to have a talent for cooking.”
“It’s not that I have aptitude. I worked as a corps cook, so I know how to do the bare minimum.”
“Oh, really? How many corps was it?”
“It was the 12th Legion. What about Mr. Fellay?”
“I worked in the military headquarters and secretariat of the Demon King’s Castle. I have no military experience.”
Hearing those words, Einor was slightly surprised and looked at Fellay.
Although the Demon King’s army fell, it was once a strong army that made the entire continent tremble with fear.
There is no need to explain how smart the core talents of the Demon King Castle, who run dozens of legions as if they were one body, are.
The Demon King’s military headquarters, and there was also a secretariat there?
You seem to be quite intelligent.
“You are a great person….”
Faced with a demon who was slimmer, taller, and smarter than him, Ael began to shrivel up like a sack of barley.
“But the 12th Legion is there, right? Brechtnert Kingdom.”
“Huh? Actually, I don’t know that much. I just cook at the kitchen.”
“The main force of the 12th Legion fought very fiercely against the Kingdom of Brechtnert.”
“Wait a minute!”
You waved your hand and stopped him from speaking.
“The Demon King’s 12th Corps fought Brechnert?!”
“We were on the verge of occupation, but suddenly the tide turned and we were pushed back to the eastern part.”
“The tide has turned?”
“Yes. We kept retreating to the east, but we were chased until the end and eventually collapsed. I remember vividly that we requested a lot of military supplies while retreating.”
Felay seemed a little embarrassed by Einer’s reaction as he explained.
Ael, who was equally confused, soon realized the situation and covered his mouth.
The corps I served in was the 12th Corps.
The master’s hometown is Brechtnert.
And just now, Fellay said that the 12th Corps and Brechtnert fought each other to the death.
