It's finally here.

　Lasse murmurs languidly.
　They have been searching for the magical treasures of the sealer, and they have finally reached the royal capital.

I'm sure the enemy must be able to use transitional magic if they've made it this far.

　The dryad looks around, and then, wary of the culprit, says in a hushed voice, "I was chasing the culprit with the information I got from the plants.

I have been chasing the culprit based on the information I got from the plants, but the information was cut off because he passed through a place where there are no plants. I believe that the attacker has some kind of special means to deceive our eyes.

　Lamia can see the information seen by distant plants as if it were her own eyes.
　But it is impossible for her to relive the information she saw in the past because she is attuned to what she is seeing in the present.
　That is why it was very difficult to re-trace the person you had lost track of once.

(And the fact that we went to such lengths means that the enemy is someone who knows us very well.

　Lasse was beginning to think that this was not simply a case of targeting the magical treasures of the seal.

(Is this a challenge to me?　(No, I think too much or ......)

　Lasse feels vaguely uneasy, unable to grasp the killer's intentions.

The problem is that we don't have much firepower. We've been chasing a fast group on the ground, so there are not many guys with good fighting skills. Just to be safe, I asked the Harpy to have the dragons bring our people to me before coming to King's Landing, but she won't be in Dexter's town for a week from now, right?　(Would it take three days to get there from there if the dragon was just in town and before the dragon carriage job came in?

　Considering the current strength, Lasse takes contingency plans.

(At any rate, should we refrain from flaunting it until reinforcements arrive?

"For now, I'm going to turn myself in to the Order and tell them what happened. "For now, I'm going to present myself to the Knights of the Round Table and tell them what happened.

　After saying this, Letty, who had accompanied them, left the group and headed in the direction of the Order.

"Come to think of it, Letty is a resident of King's Landing, isn't she?

Oh, good heavens, the little girl, she just had to come along because she has to watch over a demon hunter who can use dragons. He's a very responsible guy.

"......

　The dryad is stunned by Lasse's misunderstanding.

(That's why I can't recognize her thoughts. (That's why I can't recognize her thoughts: ......

Then we will go to the temple first to explain what happened.

　The holy knight Jinra tells Lasse that he should explain how the magical treasure was stolen.

Well. I suppose I'll need to enlist the help of the Church to find the culprit.

　Lasse decided to accept Jinra's proposal and head to the church.

"Huh?　Isn't that Mr. Lasse, by any chance?

　And then a young man who seems to know about Lasse points to them.

You're right. The dryads are here!

"I thought you left King's Landing!

I'm back!

　In the blink of an eye, the Lassees are surrounded by the people of the city.

"That's the Lasse of the thousand beasts?　The hero who flew with his dragons in the war against our neighbors?

"Where's Lamia-san?

　Lasse rolls his eyes when he sees more and more people coming in.

What's that?

　But Lasse doesn't understand what's happening and is just confused.
　But then the townspeople suddenly split off to the left and right, like a receding wave.

What now?

　Lasse looked in the direction of the people and saw the knights in their magnificent armor, riding their horses.

"You must be Lasse-Tamer.

　Young knights call to Lasse on horseback.

(I don't know these knights.) And the young. Were you recruited after I was gone?

　Lasse becomes wary of a knight he doesn't remember from his time in the military.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're talking about. Let's deal with it quietly here.

Yes, we do, but who are you?

"My apologies for this. "We belong to the Second Squadron of the Royal Capital Defense Force of King Tendo.

(Royal City Defense?　(I don't know such a unit)

　At the name of a unit he's never heard of, Lasse senses a change in the royal city while he was away.

"Vice-Commander Merck would like to see you. Will you come with me?

Merck ...... Deputy Commander!

　Lasse was surprised to hear his friend's big promotion.
