After a while of chatting more than I expected, as we may have been too excited, I walked off the coffee shop with Frea-san.
As we were chatting with each other while walking, Frea-san seed to have suddenly thought of sothing and spoke.
[……Ahh, that’s right, my comrade. If it is possible, I have a favor I’d like to ask of you.]
[A favor? Yes, if I can be of help……]
[If it’s possible, would you introduce to Duchess Lilia Albert?]
[Lilia-san?]
I couldn’t help but tilt my head as I hadn’t expected what Frea-san had asked for, but looking like she imdiately understood my question from my expression, she explained.
[As I’m sure comrade is aware of, Magnawell-sama is currently dispatching subordinates to the Flying Dragon Flight of Representative Mary. And just today, the mbers of my Crimson Fang have been transferred to the Flying Dragon Flight, so if possible, I would like to say a few words.]
[Fumu…… Errr, I’m sorry for my lack of knowledge, but who are these Crimson Fang fellows?]
[There are four troops under the command of Magnawell-sama, commanded by us, the Four Great Demon Dragons. The “Tempest Wings”, led by Fafnir, the “Ocean Scales”, led by Eingana, the “Earthen Tail”, led by Grandiereus, and my “Crimson Fang”.]
(Note: I was originally going for colors, but I couldn’t find any color for Tail, but I also couldn’t do elents. There’s no way I’m going to na Fafnir’s team as Black Wind Wings.)
[I see.]
[Our four troops have been dispatching Flying Dragons to Representative Mary’s Flying Dragon Flight on a regular rotation, and today, I co to the royal capital to see off my subordinates.]
Hearing what Frea-san said, I understood. She seed to be a very caring person and took good care of her subordinates, so the reason why she ca to see them off was very fitting.
[Fafnir had already greeted them when they signed the contract, so strictly speaking, there was no need for to go and greet them myself. But since my subordinates will be in their care, I think it would be polite to say a few words. I have already greeted Representative Mary a few days ago…… but the Flying Dragon Flight’s owner, Duchess Lilia Albert, had a sowhat special position, so I’m hesitating.]
Speaking of which, I think I heard sowhere in passing that Lilia-san is the owner of Mary’s Flying Dragon Flight.
[What do you an with a special position?]
[There are various kinds of business owners. So of them just lease the land, while others invest a lot and have a say in the managent…… As an outsider, I have no idea to what extent Duchess Albert is involved in the Flying Dragon Flight.]
[Fumufumu.]
[Since she’s a Duchess, she must be very busy and if I go through the normal procedure of asking for a visit, it will take a certain amount of ti.So, I was wondering whether I should greet her or just send her a written ssage…… but I heard that my comrade is close to Duchess Lilia Albert, so I figured that if I could have you directly introduce , it would save a lot of trouble.]
[I see……]
I don’t know if I should say that she really possesses a strong sense of duty, but although it hasn’t been that long since we t, I think I’ve gotten a pretty good idea of what kind of person Frea-san is.
[Of course, I understand that this was an impolite request of mine, so I have no problem at all if you refuse. However, what do you think?]
[It’s alright. Then, let’s go to my house. Since it’s Lilia-san, she will probably make so ti for soon, but I’ll check with her just in case.]
[Yeah, thank you.]
I haven’t heard anything about Lilia-san going out today, so I’m sure she’ll be at the mansion, and given her personality, I’m sure she’ll make so ti if I told her the details.
However, I’m not completely sure about this, so I decided to ask her to co to my house instead of Lilia-san’s mansion for the ti being. That way, even if Lilia-san wasn’t available today, I could still entertain Frea-san at my place.
After coming back to my ho with Frea-san and leading her to the guest room, I walked to Lilia-san’s mansion through the corridor connecting our hos.
I did ask one of the maids I saw on the way, and she told that Lilia-san was in her office. That should an that she must be working on paperwork or dealing with letters.
Finally arriving at her office, Lilia-san welcod with open arms.
[Excuse , Lilia-san. I’m sorry for bothering your work.]
[No, no, it’s alright. So, do you need sothing?]
[Yes, there’s soone who would like to greet Lilia-san so…… Unnn?]
[……………………]
As I tried to explain what had happened, Lilia-san’s expression changed to a serious one, and with a fluid motion, she took out a small bottle and drank the dicine that was in it.
[……My Lady? You do know that drinking stomach dicine first wouldn’t prevent you from getting stomachaches, right?]
[I know but…… I’m already feeling my stomach aching. After all, Kaito-san got acquainted with so unbelievably outrageous person again, isn’t it…… I already know what’s happening next! How many tis did you think I’ve experienced this!?]
[……Errr……]
I don’t know if I should say that soone who has accumulated experience is really on a different level or not…… but seriously, I’m sorry for everything, Lilia-san.
[……So, Kaito-san. Who did you et this ti?]
[Ah, errr…… Frea-san…… Freabell Nidzveld-san.]
[……………………]
I was scared of Lilia-san, who was supposed to be smiling, but gives off an intimidating aura around her, but when I told her about Frea-san, Lilia-san stiffened, as if ti had stopped.
Did she faint? No, the atmosphere around her was kinda different than usual……
[……Nidzveld-sama? One of the Four Great Demon Dragons, known as the “Sky Dragon of the Extinction Flas”, Freabell Nidzveld-sama?]
[Y- Yes.]
[The first Wyvern in history that beca a Special Individual, and the strongest Flying Dragon with scales as red as blazing flas. It was also said that she was the origin of the Wyvern’s Special Individual’s na “Nidhogg”. The commander of the Crimson Fang and is trusted by her subordinates, and it is said that those who adore her raise the emblem of the three red claws, which is her symbol…… That Nidzveld-sama!?]
[E- Errr, I don’t really know that much…… but it’s probably the sa person.]
When I nodded in response to Lilia-san’s body, her body shook before she grabbed my hand with both of her hands.
[Kaito-san! Thank you very much!!!]
[……Yes?]
[It’s not a problem for us to et, so of course, let’s et right away…… Ahh. No, please wait a mont. I’m just going to make myself presentable for a few minutes!!!]
How should I say this…… With a look of excitent on her face, Lilia-san ran out of the office. She probably went to freshen up her appearance.
After seeing her off in a daze, I turned to Luna-san who was still in the room and asked.
[……Umm, Luna-san? What’s with Lilia-san’s reaction just now?]
[Ahh~~ Well, My Lady…… she’s a big fan of Nidzveld-sama. In other words, she’s like the hero that she admires. The pen that My Lady usually uses…… Ahh, I’m talking about that pen on the desk. That is a limited edition Sky Dragon-model pen made by a certain Trading Company.]
Ahh~~ Speaking of which, that really was the case, wasn’t it? Lilia-san did like Dragons…… That’s why, this ti, she wasn’t angry at , and was happy instead……
With that in mind, I looked at the desk. I see…… It was just as Luna-san said, the pen that Lilia-san had left behind had a familiar red claw-like mark on it.
I an, collab products like this exist huh…… It seems like there are still lots of things I don’t know about this world…… F- For the ti being…… I’m glad that she wasn’t mad at .
