　I arrived at the capital of the Blau Empire or something like that, so I activated my camera. I selected the farsighted camera to get a closer look at it anyway.

　A screen split into screens appears and the images on the ground gradually get closer and closer.

　I looked at one of them and tilted my head.
　
'Hmm? People?

　The figure in the picture was a human being floating in the sky with his robes flapping. His long blonde hair caught my attention.

'Oh, it's flying! Oh, are your ears long? An ear chief?

　As she was excited about the mysterious figure on the screen, Eira, looking at another screen, froze with a raised eyebrow.

''........no way, Emperor.......?''
　
'The Emperor? The emperor is that emperor?

　I couldn't help but look at Eira's muttering as I asked her that.

　There were a few flying people on the screen, and in the middle was an old man sitting in a large chair.

　He wasn't wearing anything like a crown, but you could tell by the atmosphere that he was a great man.

　The skinny old man was looking at the camera, laughing innocently, like a child. The others holding the chair were flustered, but they didn't care if the chair rocked.

　And then the blonde with long ears from earlier came down under the old man and they all started to descend.

''Well, there's no doubt...''

　I nodded to Eira, who was looking at the old man as if she was frightened, and I understood.

　Indeed, he was an old man who seemed to be crazy. The way he laughed was like a child, but maybe that means he was honest in his desires.

　If the head of the invaders was such an old man, then it was understandable that Eira would be afraid of him.

　He must be innocent and relentless, taking everything he wants.

'Good. Then, so that Eira wouldn't be afraid, the Atul Kingdom, right? Let's go over there.

　Then he places his finger on the touch screen.

'Eh, ah, to the kingdom, sir?'

Yeah. I'd better get home soon, or your parents will be worried about you, you know?

　Oh, I said. I couldn't help but say it when I saw the anxious look on Eira's face.

　When Eira leaves, I'll be alone again. I might die of loneliness.

　But it would be the same for Eira's family.

　I force a smile and open my mouth.

'Come on, let's go.'

　I muttered to myself and chose a direction of southeast. I'll increase my speed from twenty kilometers per hour to a hundred.

'We'll be there tomorrow.

　Saying that, I get up and head for the elevator, and Eira follows me with a mysterious look on her face.

　Eira gets on the elevator silently and turns over, and A1 and I look at each other.

　No, A1 is looking at Eira. What a guy. What a troubled gentleman he is.

　I head to the dining room and get ready to cook, and somewhat awkwardly, I talk to him.

'Do you want to try some cooking?'

　When I asked her that, Eira, who was unconsciously sitting in a chair, stood up hurriedly.

　When she came next to me with an embarrassed face, she looked up at me and nodded.

''Ah, ha, yes! Please!

So, let's start with the knife.

　And with that, we got in line and started cooking.






[Koenigs]

"A city, a castle... a flying island...! Oh, my God. I haven't been this agitated in a long time.

　Aifa nodded at the excited Koenigs with a stern expression.

'The civilization was advanced, and the lower part of the island where that black object appeared had equipment that was difficult to determine.

　At Aifa's report, Riggan, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, snorted while stroking his chin.

''Unimaginable advanced magic technology.......In any case, nothing can be done from here at that height. Furthermore, they were moving away from us at a considerable speed. We can't even investigate it.

Don't be a fool. Aifa has a chance of reaching the island. I'll get you a letter and a horse right away. Oh, no, no, take this.

　Koenigs quickly rolled up and removed one of the rings from his own right hand. It is a ring on the middle finger. It is a white ring with a texture that looks as if it has been carved out of bone.

''It's the ring of a grand dragon.

The Grand Dragon...

It's a national treasure, isn't it?

　Aifa rolled her eyes as she received the ring, and Riggan looked at it with a reluctant look.

''Mm. I'm sure you'll find that this is the most fearsome and powerful opponent that this empire has ever defeated. In the end, they were unable to defeat it and stopped short of defeating it. It is a ring made from the materials from that time. I'm sure it's a top-notch item that can improve your magical and physical abilities.

　Looking at Aifa's astonished face, Koenigs laughs as he says, "I really wanted to make something with a grand dragon heart or eyeballs, but...

''Well I'll leave you to it.''

　In response, Aifa quickly put the ring on the middle finger of her right hand.

'You may wear an offering. Would you prefer a knight accustomed to riding a horse so as not to be late?

Then I'll need two strong young men, please.

'All right. With my letter, you'll get all the support you want within the Empire. But consider the rest of the world differently.

Ha!

　Koenigs finished his instructions in the nick of time and narrowed his eyes sharply.

'As you know, this is a major role that must take precedence over everything else. If I could make it to the island, not just your family, but all the elves would be first class citizens.

　With that announcement, Koenigs tapped Aifa's arm lightly from the side.

''And I promise to make you a senior nobleman as well as a sorcerer of nobility.

　There was a murmur around Koenigs' words, and Aifa's expression tightened and she pulled her jaw.

''...........Accepted.

　As Aifa said this, Koenigs cleared his throat, laughed, and ordered Riggan to prepare the letter.
