Lunaās training was nearing the end and everyone was faintly wondering if the next expedition was near and a command was given to me, Anzeros and Aurora.
āGet on Laila and go to the royal universityā
āRoyal universityā¦ā¦?ā
āIt may be about one of the old mapsā
āAh I seeā
Come to think of it, when I went to the royal capital before, I asked the Librarians Association.
āI really want to go by myself, but Luna needs a bit more trainingā
āUnderstoodā
We salute for the first time in a long time. Since itās a lot of work, I try to recruit more people.
āKeiron, Iām going to the capital, do you want to come along?ā
āDonāt stopā
Keiron, who was sleeping on a tree, waved with his hand, looking at Goto and Lantz running.
āWhen I can rest, Iām going to rest with my bestā
āWell, I thought it was like thatā
This guy will not want to go to the capital from a laid-back Polka without care.
Goto and Lantz also declined. Soon, the hot springs will be crowded with women because of the weekend. When I went to Neia and Boyd, he was crying because he was beaten black and blue.
āIām sorry, I canāt help you if itās not tomorrow or laterā
Itās impossible to heal all his wounds in one day in the miraculous spring. And that Neia.
āItās been a long time since Iāve been moving without wearing armor, so Iām a little happyā¦ā¦ā
Embarrassingly, she showed off her three-quarter-length dress that Hilda-san bought at a town clothing store. It looks good and she is active and cute, but itās horrible because she beat Boyd into a ćHalf-dead stateć.
āIs it the royal capital? Shall I escort you?ā
āDo you want to go?ā
āYes, I want to eat a hot dog from the shopping street south of the arena againā
ā¦ā¦Sheās surprisingly ecstatic. No, it wasnāt surprising as I originally met her there. She hurries and wears her hat and cloak and Neia put her sword on her waist.
Jeanne and Selenium are out of the question. Apple declined because she didnāt want to fly too much. Hilda declined because there was no particular use. Since Maia is an emergency means of transportation, I told her to follow Dianne and wait.
āIf you look at it this way, youāll want to go to the royal capital.ā
āWell, Polka is cozyā
Because Anzeros is from the capital city, the water should be more suitable in the city than in the countryside originally, but it said so as if it were natural. Well, itās like a day trip, and Iām not so attractive to go to the royal university.
āHo, would you like to go soon?ā
āYeah, pleaseā
Laila undresses and transforms into a black dragon. And Anzeros, Aurora, Neia and I get into the carriage. When I tried to close the door, I saw Irina being caught by Dianne.
āLe-t-me-goā
āItāll be a little confusing when you goā
ā¦ā¦Yeah, Iāll take her there one of these days.
-
Laila takes off with the morning bells. And when the sun goes down, we arrived at the royal city. Naturally, the dragon body is hidden by a illusion and we landed in the suburbs.
āI wonder if the university is still openā
āTentatively, weĀ“re a Celesta special duty corps. We āre not going to pay in front of the gates even if they show a bad faceā
Thatās right. In the current Trot, the title is powerful.
āHo, then, letās goā
Laila, who has finished hiding the carriage in a illusion, transformed into her human form and wears clothes, before we enter the royal capital.
There was a strange guy at the royal university. Erik Randall. A tall, slit-eyed gentleman who canāt be mistaken.
āAh, Angelina-sama!ā
He rushed to us who had entered the university campus with Anzeros and me at the top. There were a lot of well dressed girls (possibly aristocratic or wealthy noble daughters) around, so it was a close approach. ā¦ā¦Well, if you are a handsome guy and the eldest son of the famous Marquis Randall, you can pick up any aristocrats or wealthy merchant daughter you want. Yes.
āErikā
āItās been a long time. 10-man captain Smithson, 10-man captain Auroraā
Erik bowed in front of us. From the surrounding women, a steep gaze pierces Anzeros and Aurora. Also a little to Laila and Neia.
āAhahaā¦ā¦what is this airā
āHo. As we look so good, we are under the attack of those gazes because of that handsome guyā
Laila explains to Neia.
āDonāt worry, weāre Andy Smithsonās pets. Iām not interested in that guy over thereā
The girls around Erik stiffened by Laila who proclaims so in a dignified manner.
āI, Iām different!?ā
āDonāt be a little confusing, just because of your petās behavior for a whileā
Anzeros and Aurora collectively ignored Neia and Lailaās commotion.
āErik, are you a student of this university?ā
āYeah, itās almost time to get my masterās degreeā¦ā¦Iād like to work at the university like Grants-senseiā
āWhat about the heir of the Randall family?ā
āMy father is still very strong. From my point of view, he will be active for another thirty years. During that time, just because I am a swordsman, I canāt just swing my swordā
Erik laughs hahaha. This is a conversation on the clouds. I have no connection to learning at all.
āBut what are you doing here today?ā
Erik suddenly shows a serious face.
āI donāt want to say this, but for now itās better to avoid going to the university with long ears, so if you have anything to do you should do it quicklyā
ā?ā
āThere are rumors that the Universityās President Conwart was imprisoned by the authorities on suspicion of being involved in a riot. Originally, the university was also recognized by the royal capital as a foreign law and it was all a CelestaĀ“s conspiracy. There is a group of perennial students who say that students from different races shall be knocked out from the universityā
āOh dear. Those noblesā
Anzeros shrugs. Several people in the surroundings have a slightly muggy face.
āWell, itās certainly a noble person who can be a eternity student, but that is a tough termā
āIf you have any complaints, donāt panic at university, just enter the court as soon as you can and enter the Celesta merchant. Donāt play patriots at the fort of foreign lawā
āThatās rightā
Erik smiles. However, at the next moment, everyone hears a banging sound that hits something hard and everyone is nervous. Only I was late.
āAurora!!ā
āYes!!ā
Submerge yourself for a moment, Anzeros and Aurora will disappear. An arrow passed through the space where they were. To hear the sound bounced off the cobblestone ground, it seems that it was not a strong bow or arm, but it was scary that it was shot at the university campus.
āOwner, donāt moveā
āYesā
Laila puts me behind her back and takes a full defense posture. Originally Laila with master knight-class motor nerves and human perception, wonāt let the arrow reach me.
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
And Neia is in the midst of escaping.
āThere are so many people in such a peaceful townā¦ā¦ā
Holding her hat, she whispers in a low voice.
āWhat are you doingā¦ā¦!ā
I heard the sound of someone biting on his lips.
āDonāt be silly!!ā
Neia jumps with a sound of cobblestones shaking. Then she flew away at a stretch of several tens of meters to a man who had a handmade bow on a university building.
āAre you a warrior!!ā
āHi!ā
In an incredible leap, the man is overwhelmed.
āThose who are not willing to fight donāt take weapons! If you take a sword, if you take a bow, it means that you have tolerated death! Iām a stranger! You abandoned being protected as a people!!ćYou can be prepared, but youāre not a citizen!! ā
Neia was furious. She hates those who try to harm people with half-preparedness. It is probably the flip side of her pride that she calls herself ćHeroć, covered her entire body with wounds, and still took the lead in fighting monsters.
āTo be prepared for that, Iām going to kill you!ā
āStop, Neia!ā
I cry out with a delay to Neia who pulls out her sword. And Anzeros interrupted like a black wind in response to my cry. Putting her hands together.
āHaa!!ā
Don, Neia and the bow man were blown together from the top of the school building.
ā!!ā
āGyaa!!ā
Neia lands beautifully when she turns, but a normal human being, a guy who is a university student at this university, canāt do such a cool show and is about to hit the ground.
āā¦ā¦Tsk. Thereās no second timeā
Aurora catches him in the airā¦ā¦or better said, she grabs him and throws him into the school building window. The glass window unique to the royal city shattered and made a terrible sound.
āAnzeros, sanā¦ā¦!!!ā
āNeia Grans. I donāt know your past. But people make mistakes. Make a lot of mistakes. Please understand the peace of this town in this country can be wrongā
Anzeros slowly hits Neia. Neia lowered her hat and said ćIām sorryć.
āAngelina-samaā¦ā¦again, powerfulā
Erik also whispered while keeping his self-defense sword in his pocket.
Post-processing in the university office.
āSorry, Iām sorry for the university student attacking a Celesta special duty corps, please forgive it. I handed that student over to the military police. Soā¦ā¦ā
A very kowtowing clerk.
āNo. This is too rough for that studentā
Anzeros says quietly. The university clerk was very sorry. It looks like heās angry with his expressionless face, but the other side is really scary. As Anzeros, if she goes out too badly, she might reverse Neia, so I guess sheās just holding him back.
āBy the way, I made a request to the Librarian Association in the name of 100-man commander Dianneā¦ā¦ā
āAh, the person in charge of thatā¦ā¦hey Miller-san, call someone from the Librarian Association promptly!ā
Probably because of the uproar, the story goes on.
The librarianās reply was that a map was found, but not yet finished. That will be done by tomorrow. As expected, it isnāt good to bring out the original, but it seems to be so now. ā¦ā¦It was postponed.
āThis is Neiaās recommended hot dog shopā
āā¦ā¦Yes. Buster-sama taught me a lot when he was in the royal capital with meā
Neia is not herself. Is it really a reflection? Anzeros goes to her parentsā house and Aurora eats at the inn. Laila and I were the only ones who followed Neia to her recommended shop.
āā¦ā¦N, really deliciousā
āI want a drinkā
āBe patient nowā
Speaking until Laila is satisfied, I will be penniless.
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
Neia bites into her hot dog and slowly chews it. And then she looked up while looking at the evening sky.
āā¦ā¦This country is a good place. And Anzeros-san and Andy-san are really enviableā
āThe treatment for half elves is the worstā
āā¦ā¦Still, but still Iām jealousā
After pausing a little.
āSuch delicious food is selling normally. It is impossible for a child to starve to death on the roadside. No one in my country says that they donāt want to eat monster meat. There are not a few people who know the taste of human meatā¦ā¦ā
Reduced ending. Did she think that it was something she couldnāt say loudly.
āHundreds have died to have just five heroes and everyone thinks it is natural, it may be useless, as we may be destroyed tomorrow. Everyone thinks soā¦ā¦if you are born in such a country, it is enviable that there was discrimination in this country ā
āā¦ā¦Itās a tough countryā
āSo, I couldnāt forgive it. In my country, it should never happen. It doesnāt mean that people are taking their lives. You are not allowed to point your weapons at someone else just for a small reasonā¦ā¦but this is not my country. What a country is this that can have people like thatā
āItās not okay to be like that. But itās not something that canāt be recoveredā
I tap on Neiaās hat. Just like Maia did.
āThatās why it was a relief that Anzeros stopped you while your mistakes were taken backā
āā¦ā¦Yesā
āDonāt worry about it. I forgive youā¦ā¦youāll be fineā
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
My irresponsible forgiveness may be extra care for Neia.
āā¦ā¦Thank you, very muchā
Neia thanked me.
āOkay, then this is the end of this story. ā¦ā¦Iāll tell you a good advice. Neia, when youāre eating something delicious, itās rude to food and the chef if you donāt show it is deliciousā
āYeā¦ā¦Yes!!ā
Neia finally smiles. Laila and I smiled lightly.
No, I couldnāt meet 100-man commander Grants again. I will go to the arena, where heāll always be. ā¦ā¦Iām a little worried. I hope he didnāt get sick.
