Hyvern Dukedom, Dragon Claw Highway
Heeh, it's a tranquil-looking village, isn't it.
Kazane opened the carriage window and looked down the road ahead. Three days after leaving Deer South, Jinrai's hotown Sorae Village had finally co into sight.
That's right. It's a quiet and empty place, but... it really hasn't changed at all.
Jinrai smiled fondly and spoke nostalgically. For Jinrai, it was a hocoming after a long absence. He likely had things to think about.
I've co to see granny Chloe several tis.
And inside the carriage, Emily was looking at the approaching village nostalgically. Emily and Lyle visited this village several tis as children. Cindy was also close to Jinrai's older sister, Chloe, and they visited each other at the capital and village many tis. Though Chloe often ca to the capital for shopping, so Emily and the others hadn't co to this village in the last decade.
Nee-san?
And as soon as Chloe's na ca out, Jinrai's eyes changed into sothing that was subtly different from simple nostalgia. If pushed to say, it seed more like a cold sweat. After seeing that, Louise grinned.
Jinrai-kun isn't good with Chloe.
That's right. Even though Chloe is a good woman.
Jinrai groanedMuuafter Louise and firus spoke from inside the carriage. Then Louise's gaze turned to firus.
Which reminds , firus, didn't Chloe beat the hell out of you when you made a pass at her?
Such places are also cute, though.
That was far beyond the level that could be called cute, don't you think?
Rarely, Jinrai rebutted what firus said.
Was it that bad?
Kazane asked, and Jinrai replied bitterly.
At that ti, our departure from the village was delayed by two weeks due to nursing firus-sama.
...... Yikes.
Kazane had a slightly shocked expression.
Nee-san is unusually strong. Both in physical strength and Magic Power, so if she had beco an adventurer, she probably would have been very successful.
Heeh
Kazane and Yumika beside her made surprised expressions.
Of course, even though I say she's strong, she's amateur level... hmm, yes, I'd say she's a person who would be able to kill a bear with her bare hands.
Master, I think that's not amateur level.
A girl who exterminated 200 forest animals so objected.
Well, I don't think anyone beyond Jinrai-kun will be on the receiving end of that bear killing fist, so it'll be fine.
Louise said. Jinrai saidI don't want to be on the receiving end either,but he was ignored. It seed that was a decided matter.
Sorae Village, Tinoa Inn
The party shortly thereafter arrived at Sorae Village. As usual, Hippomaru-kun and the Thunder Chariot attracted notice, and since they were called out to by an innkeeper on the way, they decided to stay at the inn. That being said, there was only one inn in this village, so if they didn't stay there, their only option would be preparing the Cottage.
(Ah, so if there's only one inn, then it was here? This is the inn where that Mabel-san person was the proprietress?)
(That's right)
In the middle of being guided to their room by the innkeeper's daughter, Kazane questioned Louise in a whisper, and Louise smiled and nodded. For no special reason, Louise had also visited this village back when the innkeeper was a baby, so she had known about him since then.
Jinrai's childhood friend Mirua, the already deceased Mabel, and Louise had spent a night with Jinrai together, and she had treated them like friends since then. They asked Louise not to tell Jinrai about that matter, so she wouldn't say anything even now.
It isn't that rare a story for a village girl to get pregnant from a passing traveler and raise the child without knowing who the father is.... when the two heard about the engagent with Cindy, they said that and locked away their feelings.
(However, even though Jinrai-kun is a man who doesn't miss when it counts, who would have thought he would do it to two people at the sa ti. As expected, right?)
Before the confession from Cindy that she was pregnant, he casually stopped by the village and casually had intimate night practice with everyone, and those single shots were hits. He was a fearso man.
Jinrai received education in good taste from Cindy after they were married, which put a stop to it, but the possibility of results sprouting from his mischief until then couldn't be denied. And Jinrai, whose modus operandi had been to never chase but to also never refuse, didn't understand that at all.
From the start, Jinrai had never approached a woman of his own accord in his life. A solitary natural Riajuu, he had no obsession with won and didn't rember who he'd had night practice with at all.
That Jinrai had a docile expression as he left the inn with Louise and firus. Jinrai was like a cat being lifted by the scruff of his neck. Kazane's group were told that they were going to et Chloe, his older sister, who was also the mayor of this village.
They said they would introduce Kazane and the others later, so the youngsters ekly waited at the inn.
So then, Jinrai-san and the others have left, but shall we decide our future plans?
So saying, Kazane spread a map of Hyvern Dukedom on the table of the inn room. This town was no more than a detour; Kazane and the other's objective was the floating island. And surrounding the map were Tatsuo, Yumika, Naoki, Lyle, Emily, and Tiara.
You an when we go to the floating island, right? I think it was called Elsta Floating Kingdom?
Kazane nodded after Yumika's question.
Yeah. It seems it's not completely unexplored territory, but you can't get there unless you're a free Dragon Knight or ride a Wyvern. There are also Griffons and Wyverns surrounding it, so even then, approaching is difficult. It seems the Dragon Knights went on an expedition there a long ti ago, but they had a painful experience, and the army hasn't tried to go there since then.
Lyle and Emily nodded after Kazane's words. Elsta Floating Kingdom was an island everyone in Hyvern knew about, so Lyle and Emily had also heard those anecdotes while they were growing up.
The story is that strong dragons are guarding the island. It's also said that the expeditionary force was destroyed by them.
Emily nodded after Lyle's words. That expedition was conducted about 200 years ago by order of the archduke at the ti. It was said that 100 Dragon Knights were sent to the island, and they ca scurrying back.
I asked Husband. There might also be strong dragons there that aren't properly known about, but more importantly, it seems there are quite a lot of Dragon Eaters.
Yumika and the others were astir after they heard that. That amazent was understandable, given the battle at the East Dragon Village. They could easily imagine that Dragon Knights in particular would have the worst compatibility against that enemy.
Is that true?
Naoki said with a frown, and Kazane repliedIt's information from Husband, so it's certain.
That's why the Dragon Knights couldn't do a thing. It seems that the island is also off limits to the dragons.
Umm, then isn't it dangerous for , you, and Tatsuo-kun?
Yumika raised her hand and asked, and Kazane repliedWe'll be fine there.
Dragon Eaters distinguish between dragons that have already been parasitized by their sa sll, so with myDragon PheromoneI can oppose it, and soone human size holding a Dragon Eater Tree like the ones we obtained from the Dragon Eaters won't be attacked. Dragons are too big, so it's impossible for them, but Dragonoids have actually tested it, and it seems from past results that it's safe.
Is that so. Honestly, the idea of becoming a plant zombie is horrifying.
Yumika rembered the parasitized dragons and spoke with a disgusted expression.
Of course, I'm not planning to let or Tatsuo go through such an experience either.
If Mother is there, nothing is scary!!
No, there are quite a lot of things you should still be afraid of even if I am there, so please properly observe and judge for yourself, Tatsuo.
Yes, Mother!!
Tatsuo imdiately replied vigorously to Kazane's rebuke. Being obedient was good, but she wanted him to reconsider properly when he should reconsider. Kazane was sowhat anxious about Tatsuo's mother absolutism.
Also, I don't know if they're still there, but Birdn might be living there, so don't thoughtlessly attack everything.
Birdn are that race that are like winged angels, right?
Kazane nodded after Yumika's words. Although they were a race on the verge of extinction within Zexiaharts, it seed they were currently still witnessed occasionally, so Kazane thought it was possible that there were survivors on the island.
That's right. If I rember correctly, they're supposed to be a race that is peerlessly superior with bows.
I've heard fairy tales about a winged race existing, but they're bow users?
Emily asked Kazane with great interest.
Yeah. They should be. It might be informative for Emily.
After those words, Emily saidI hope so.
Studying the bow from a phantom race on a floating island. Emily's expectations for the place she had longed for since she was a child grew further.

Yumika: Doesn't that innkeeper sohow resemble master?
Kazane: Well, they're from the sa village, so there might be so kind of relation, right? I saw another similar person earlier.
Yumika: Mmm, is that so?
