54 [45] On the way back.txt




About ten days have passed since the disclosure of information about the Humane Kingdom that caused an uproar both at home and abroad, and when the people finally began to calm down, a not-so-little crowd of people had gathered in front of the gate that surrounded the royal capital.

At the end of the group's gaze, Princess Lumeria and the leader of the knights, Lieselotte, were in conversation with Virum and the others.

''Princess, you've taken care of us for a long time.

'No, we were indebted to you. We are indebted to the Knights of the Order of Liselotte and the Royal Army for training us and providing us with knowledge that we didn't know...no, we didn't want to know. Furthermore, he saved our kingdom from an existential crisis. I can't thank you enough, Wyrm-san.

Lumeria, who tends to look down, adds in a whisper, "And that includes Listy.

The people who have gathered are 60 percent of those who want to catch a glimpse of the abomination (Vilm) who saved the kingdom from crisis, and 40 percent of those who are interested in the royal princess Lumelia, the head of the knights, Lieselotte, and High Sierra, which is becoming famous as a flying dragon that does not attack humans.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for, but it's not a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it's not a good idea to have a plan, but for now, we're going back to Farren. If anything happens, I'll ask High Sierra to help you, just be prepared to accept it.

'Of course. I will not allow you to attack the lovely High Sierra.

The misconception that Heishela's master is Rumelia has already been cleared up by her own confession.

Although the people and soldiers were slightly disappointed by her declaration that her real master was Vilm and that she was only a friend, it can be said that the trust of Heishela and Vilm's people has risen.

''Krulul.''

Hi Sierra...

Lumeria's expression almost collapses when she sees High Sierra rubbing her face as if to say goodbye, but she desperately holds back her tears, saying that she can't expose her ineptitude in front of the public.

''...Kokomoto. I am grateful to you for saving my life as well, Wilm-dono. I will train myself so that I won't be blindsided again, so I would like you to practice again on my next visit.

'Yeah. I was only able to get rid of my habits this time. You should thoroughly repeat the basics we taught you, and then use that as a basis for constructing a fighting style that suits you. The next time you come back, you'll be a good competitor for Kounaria.

'Yes! Mr. Lieselotte, I'll be glad to see you then!

Lieselotte, sensing that Rumelia's tear glands were nearing their breaking point, spoke to her casually and told her what she wanted, which drew a response from Vilm and attracted the people's attention.

After the suppression of the coup, Vilm was asked by Liselotte to become her apprentice, but she flatly refused, stating that she could not take responsibility for her actions since she was unable to leave the Humane Kingdom.

However, Lieselotte was not ready to give up, but she was able to settle down by learning the basics and how to train.

''It's time to leave. Meldina, Cunaria, let's go.

Prompting them both, Vilm leaps lightly and leaps onto High Sierra's back.

'Yes! Thank you all!

'All right. Thank you for your help, Lady Lumeria and Ms. Lieselotte.

Meldina's hand was withdrawn, and Cunaria followed Virum into position behind him.

''Bye. I'll stop by when you're in the vicinity.''

Yeah, you're welcome to join me then. I'll see you soon.

"Kruaam!

As Wyrm and the others exchanged their goodbyes, the high shera that roared loudly flapped its wings in a grand manner and flew off into the sky.

From this day onwards, giant flying dragons could be seen in the area around the Humaneon Kingdom, although they were not regular.

The Humane Kingdom has decreed that the flying dragons are not to be trifled with at all, and if they are tampered with they will be punished with the maximum penalty.

Whenever the flying dragon appeared, the Third Princess herself would come out to greet him, and he would be seen happily playing with it.

Vilm and his friends relax on the back of the High Shearer in the sky above.

They are far away from the Humane Kingdom, and the foreign enemies are not coming near them, perhaps because they are afraid of Heishela.

In the meantime, Meldina, who had been restless and fidgety since Heishela's flight, decided to speak to me.

You're not going to be able to get your hands on any of them. I'd like to ask you something, if that's okay?

Hmm? What's the matter with you again?

''I couldn't ask because I didn't know who would hear me in the kingdom, but the fusion with Hinori-sama? I needed you to tell me what that was.

'What? Can Master and Master Hinori fuse? I'd love to see it too!

'I see. Kuna wasn't there then. It was so cool. Wyrm's hair turned red, and he went skyward on wings like a hinoline... pewter!''

It's natural for the curious Meldina to be interested in descent (advent) fusion (fusion), rather than the fact that she's been putting up with it well until now.

Coonaria, too, is interested in Meldina's words, and her eyes light up as she peeks at him.

Miselio seemed to be slightly excited, and was trying to tell Coonaria with his gestures how Virum was doing during the descent fusion.

''Sorry Coonaria. I'm sorry, Coonaria, but the descent fusion is not something that can be done easily. It is a fusion technique that summons a spirit inside of you, inside of your soul, to gain its abilities, magic and technology. It's a powerful technique, but it has high risks. You take a spirit's soul into you, even if it is only for a short time. The burden on the spirits that are taken in is extremely large, and if it is done poorly, their souls could be absorbed with them. Even a spirit beast like sister Hinori and the others are dangerous to fuse for a long time.

That's not very selfish of you.

Was that really such a dangerous trick...? But then the summoners who were trying to gain power would try to force them to fuse together, right? Could it be that there are other limitations...?

Informed of the unexpected danger, Cunaria's face fell, and Meldina put one hand to her chin as she contemplated the descending fusion.

''That's right. What kind of spirit would want to be taken in willingly? The spirit that took it in could take over the body of the surgeon. Unless there's absolute trust on both sides, it's not a jutsu that can be done.

Virum replied nonchalantly, but when he implied that the trust between him and Hinori was absolute, you could see his love for his family (spirit love).

''Huh...? So, could Virum be able to fuse with something other than Hinolin?''

I don't know.

Unusually for Wyrm, he slurred his words and swam his eyes.

His agitation told the answer to Miserio's question, but neither Meldina nor Cunaria said it.

'Anyway, keep this story to yourself. There are a lot of people who try to capture the spirits for free. I can see those power-seeking idiots starting to overhunt them.

'Yes! I won't talk to anyone!

Of course!

Yeah. I wouldn't tell you about it even if it meant I had to be tortured.

The flip side of Wyrm's words was that he spoke because he trusted the three of them.

Coonaria and Miselio didn't seem to notice that, but Meldina seemed to have noticed and nodded with a happy smile.










''Speaking of which, is it safe for us to continue on to Farren? Isn't there going to be another fuss?

Uh...
