[Frick, Keep the Wyvern]
The day has begun to set by the time we returned to Gawain’s workshop after collecting materials in the Demon Forest.
When we got home, Gawain carried the bag containing the materials.
“Frick, I’m going to work in the workshop right away. Can you take care of the Wyverns?”
Apart from Dimol, the Wyvern caught by Gawain was also obediently resting in front of the house.
I was asked to take care of that Wyvern.
I also brought back a lot of Madness Boars to feed them, so I was going to feed them the meat after peeling off the pelts.
“Yes, I’ll feed them properly. If you need any help, please let me know.”
“Ou, I also haven’t taught you all Body Strengthening magic yet. While I’m making the sword, we’ll also continue the training, so prepare yourself.”
“Understood.”
After saying that, Gawain disappeared into the workshop.
In his place, Noelia, who was house-sitting, came out of the main building.
“Frick-sama
!? Etto, this huge Wyvern and this many Madness Boar bodies are
”
Looking at the Wyvern, Noelia stood still.
“Etto, this is Dimol. For the time being, this child will become my partner, I guess. He listens properly to what I said, and he won’t attack you, so it’s okay, you know.”
“Haa
I’ve learned Wyvern’s training method from Gawain-shishou, but this the first time I’ve seen someone other than Shishou succeeded to do it. Moreover, this child has a fairly better physique even among the Wyverns. To subdue such a child
”
“Kueee~!”
Perhaps he was happy because his big body was praised by Noelia, Dimol flapped his wings lightly and let out a cry.
“Is that so? I just followed Gawain-sama’s example
I used a bit of magic though.”
“As expected of
Frick-sama. So, what will you do with this Wyvern?”
A confused expression appeared on Noelia’s face.
Etto
now that I think about it, I’ve never seen an adventurer riding a Wyvern.
However, it’s quite convenient to ride one, and I also became fond of Dimol, so I’d like to take care of him.
It would be fine as long as I don’t get down inside the city, right.
“I wonder if it’s okay to keep Dimol? Look, I’ll feed him properly, and tell him to not attack people, and surprisingly, not only he is strong, but Dimole is also smart.”
“Kueee!”
From what I’ve heard from Gawain, it seems that Wyverns were instinctively engraved to absolutely obey the opponent who managed to get on their back and admitted them to be stronger than themselves.
So, Dimol faithfully carried out my instructions.
“I think if I take him to Youg Hannotes as it is, he will be shot down immediately though
”
“
Right. I wonder if there is no choice but to secure a place to raise him in the outskrits.”
I have to secure a place to raise Dimol somewhere in the outskirts where people’s eyes can’t reach, huh.
I have to prevent him from accidentally getting rid of the stray adventurers.
As I was thinking about what to do about the place to keep Dimol, Noelia pulled my sleeve a little.
“No, there is way so that he will not get attacked by the guards and the knights. Moreover, I think you can also secure a place to keep him.”
“Such a way exists!?”
Keeping Dimol would likely cause various problems, but Noelia seems to have thought up a solution.
“If you draw my family’s crest on a large piece of cloth and hang it from Dimol’s neck, you wouldn’t be attacked suddenly at least. About the place to raise it, I think you can use a part of the meadow that was used for horse-riding at the backyard of my residence.”
“The crest of the Henestrosa family? That would meant
Dimol is owned by the Henestrosa family?”
Listening to my words, Noelia suddenly started to be flustered.
“Ah, no. That’s not what I meant
I just thought maybe I can help Frick-sama to keep Dimol even in the city without any problems. But, that’s it. P-please rest assured as I don’t have any hidden intention.”
Her face flushed, Noelia shook her hands quickly, denying the intention to own Dimol.
I see
surprisingly, Noelia also liked Dimol.
That’s why she tried to help in various ways.
Certainly, if it’s a Wyvern with the crest of the Henestrosa family, it wouldn’t be attacked suddenly, and there was a meadow behind that fortress-like mansion, huh.
If it’s there it won’t be too far from the inn, so it’s convenient.
Then, let’s ask Noelia to mediate it with Llyod.
“In that case, when the sword was made and we return to Youg Hannotes, it would be helpful if Noelia can request it to Frontier Count-sama.”
“Y-yes! I’ll do it.”
That said, Noelia, who was fidgety touching her clothes with her finger, had her face brightened and replied with an unusual high-pitched tone.
“Dimol, it’s great right. It seems that Noelia will help to keep you in Youg Hannotes. You should thank her, okay.”
“Kueee!”
“!?”
The pleased Dimol grabbed Noelia with his beak and put her on his back and fly up.
I also get on together to prevent Dimol from dropping Noelia.
Then, we decided to take scenic flight around the Yasuba’s hunting ground where nightfall is approaching.
During that time, I decided to grab on to Noelia so she wouldn’t fall to the ground. Perhaps she wasn’t good with high places as she seemed to be nervous, her face bright red, sweated a lot, and was silent from beginning to end.
When we returned to the ground, she had a rough breath and was staggering.
“I’m sorry, were you not good with high place?”
“Hie!? Ah, no, you’re wrong! It’s nothing, I’m fine!”
I felt that today’s Noelia seems strange.
And unlike her usual monotonous voice, her voice is kinda high-pitched.
Perhaps she caught a cold?
She said she hadn’t slept yesterday, and she slept all day today, maybe she is sick.
“Perhaps you have a fever? Even your face is red after all.”
“N-, it’s differ――”
When I put my hand on Noah’s forehead, I felt that her body temperature went up at once.
This might be serious

It’s better for her to take some rest.
“Your forehead is hot, let’s have you lie on the bed. I’ll cook the meals, so you can have some more sleep. Well, shall we go?”
“Ah, n-n-n-no
it’s different――”
“It’s okay, even an adventurer can catch a cold.”
I decided to carry Noelia in my arms, brought her to the bed in the main building, made preparation for dinner, and prepared food for Dimol and co.
