Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 319

dragon knight. As an air force in another world, it is one of the few types of troops that can take responsibility for air supremacy.

However, due to the heinous condition of polishing mana and aura at the same time, they are not in the limelight. Thanks to that, I also had no chance to see the flying dragon knight in person until now. Delt was more like someone who knew how to ride a dragon rather than a dragon knight, so it would be correct to see it as out of the question.

But more than anything, what made me look forward to it was that those who were called flying dragon knights in the royal family were definitely recognized for their skills as first-class. Although the standard is limited to war, other tactical factors may be mixed in addition to individual armed forces, but it will not be negligible.

“Have you ever personally seen the flying dragon knight?”

“I’ve seen them from afar at kingdom events, but this is the first time I’ve seen them actually fight.”

Visquente was also expecting a lot from the fact that the flying dragon knight was coming. He had the temperament of an excellent storyteller unlike a nobleman, and he was excited like a child, telling anecdotes about the flying dragon knight he knew while warming the campfire. Well, in a way, they are the ones who serve the royal family closest to them, so it’s quite understandable that a nobleman like Visquente would admire them.

“Come to think of it, I heard that even one of Princess Messina’s aides has been assigned a flying dragon knight. He is said to be very talented and is expected to be the next leader.”

Huh, you seem to have quite a bit of power for a leech that doesn’t notice. I was deeply admiring the completely unexpected story, but Visquente recalled and brought up a more specific story.

“His name was… Ah, Lord Heyri. Originally from the Eastern Baron Hibish family, he became a flying dragon knight. Even before that, he had a reputation for being invulnerable by nature.”

The flying dragon knights, which can only be placed in the royal family, are literally like the bodyguards. So, under the pretext of not being swept away by family affection and making judgments that harm the royal family, they abandon their castles and do not start a family until they retire.

If you look closely, they are more than the temple knights. Religion in another world has no restrictions on priests getting married and starting a family. However, it is not a world where the retirement age is set, so I know that most flying dragon knights die without leaving a successor.

“Princess Messina put her hands on it herself, so maybe she’s among those dispatched this time.”

“Haha, that would probably be difficult. Sir Heyri is the closest aide to Princess Messina and also serves as a butler. However, as Sir Ega said, if Sir Heyri comes here, it must mean that the princess wants to look into this case carefully. ”

butler? At that moment, the female butler who accompanied the sudden appearance of the leech princess passed by.

“Is Lord Heyri a woman by any chance?”

“Yes. That’s right. If you’ve met the princess, you’ve probably met with a high probability. Because she’s always by my side.”

Huh… I guess that’s right. That person was such a great person, right? It’s a little disappointing that I couldn’t feel anything even though we faced each other at such close range.

I wondered if I should try to find a way to feel the aura, since too often there is a landmine right in front of me and I don’t know it, but after thinking a little deeper, I came to the conclusion that it was not necessary.

Anyway, the other person’s strength is meaningless in terms of my standard of judgment in life, so why would I use it on my own?

Sitting by the bonfire, listening to the heroic tales of the legendary dragon knights, he began to see flying dragons flying in formation from the distant sky.

“Finally… you’re here.”

“…It’s more spectacular than I thought.”

At my short impression, Visquente also nodded in agreement. Even though there was a considerable distance, there was a clear difference between them to the extent that it was not difficult to tell that Gis was at the head of the flight, and that those following were flying dragon knights.

It could be said to be the difference between an ordinary horse and a warhorse.

“That’s enough to break the necks of enemies just by flying low.”

Visquente’s analogy was correct. Starting from the length of the tail and wings, the drake-specific armor worn on the body was combined to make it look 1.5 times larger than the drakes for transportation. It’s like looking at a modern fighter, so even four of them are enough menace.

“……!”

When the distance is close enough, the one in the lead waves his arm and sends a signal to the back. There was no way to recognize the face because he was wearing all sorts of cold-weather gear and goggles, but somehow the flying dragon looked familiar. Just like Giess said, it must be true that they all look different, like dogs and cats. I’m just very used to it.

“Eldmia-sama! It’s been a while!”

Sure enough, the waving bundle of clothes while slowly lowering the dragon gave Gieth’s voice, and I smiled and waved. In the meantime, the flying dragon that had landed quickly fell to the side and began to cry as if giving a parking signal to the flying dragons descending after them. Then, the speed of the dragon, which seemed to descend a little faster, decreased significantly, and only after all four dragons had safely landed, Gis, who got off the dragon, approached with the knights.

However, apart from pretending to know him for a while while descending, he was now a guide, so he couldn’t talk to him first. I had no intention of embarrassing him by talking to him, so I shifted my attention to the knights in suits that looked like they had hair sticking all over their joints.

Because they had to endure the cold by flying in the sky, their armor was prepared for cold weather to a level that could be called fur armor. Unlike general helmets, the helmet also covered the face with something like a visor of a motorcycle helmet, but the wearer’s face could not be identified regardless of what material it was made of.

Just when I was wondering how my voice would come out if I said it that way, the one standing slightly ahead of the other knights slowly took off his helmet.

What came out from below was Princess Messina’s butler. Apparently, the princess did not take this incident lightly. She looked at me with a sullen face, then finished her eyes with a light nod and asked Visquente.

“Knight Visquente, right?”

“Yes. I am Visquente, Raviel’s average knight. It is an honor to meet the flying dragon knight who protects the royal family.”

It wasn’t just words, but Visquente was about to kneel right away, but Heyri moved his hand first to stop him, as if he had already expected it.

“It’s an urgent situation, so let’s move on informally. Following the order of the princess, I came to subdue the orcs and check the gate that is expected to be the cause of their sudden appearance. Are the orcs attacking yet?”

“Actually, there was already one raid yesterday.”

“What size?”

“I’m guessing there were just over 200 tens of thousands mobilized for the raid.”

“You defended well.”

Instead of acknowledging the efforts of the adventurers and mercenaries, Visquente just nodded.

Bisquente is on the unusual side. Among the elusive knights, there were not a few cases where those who were engaged in both professions were regarded as mistresses and dishonorable ones. It was clear that this choice was made to prevent ten words of ridicule.

“I can’t let your efforts go in vain. After warming up for a while, I’ll go straight to the Orc settlement.”

Fortunately, Heyri, the flying dragon knight, seemed to have a normal mindset. With a light gesture, she ordered the other knights to follow Visquente, and he led them to an empty house prepared for them in advance.

And Heyri started talking to me as if it were natural.

“It’s been a while, Sir Ega.”

“The word…”

“Since Princess Messina did not reap the title of honor towards you, please understand that I cannot do the same.”

She’s like a leech-haired princess. I couldn’t help but nod my head in front of Heyri, who cut off my words in an instant with her princess butler-like notice, so she continued talking, expressing her intention to walk together with a light gesture.

“Lord Visquente’s report was of great help in not taking it lightly. The princess said she wanted to express her gratitude for this.”

“…I haven’t done anything in particular.”

“Aren’t you an experienced person? Twice.”

Well… The abandoned dungeon was originally a secret request from the royal family, so it wouldn’t be strange if someone at her level knew about it. Again, he responded with a nod of his head.

“The Marquis of Levien, the abandoned dungeon gate, the traitor Envelde, the Holy Cross of the Holy Cross, the demon subjugation that followed, and the remnants of the rebellion, of course… should I call it the Oak Gate? He is deeply saddened that he has not been able to properly repay the Lord for his great help.”

It was said that the leech had not yet given up, but this time it was good. Anyway, the work up to Envelde has been officially completed and even the compensation has been received, and there are ways to organize the work afterward in an appropriate way, unlike the princess’s wish to feed her grandly somehow.

“Looks like you need to correct it with demons and dragons.”

That’s why I was able to show enough leeway to correct mistakes without overreacting to her words.

“I see. I must have been mistaken for a moment.”

“If you’re busy, that might be the case. Isn’t it a world where people forgot or misunderstood even in the process of buying ingredients to feed themselves and live?”

“Thank you for understanding…”

“Personally, I hope that the princess, who is probably busier than anyone else, will misunderstand and forget things about me.”

But it’s another matter to keep tying it up with things that can become annoying in the future. What and how much are you going to pamper yourself by feeding it grandly? It’s ridiculous that you’re simply trying to congratulate me on my achievements. Then what will the soldiers on the front line be like right now?

This time, Heyri didn’t stop or flinch. But after a little delay, he spoke with confidence.

“…The princess is intelligent and doesn’t seem to forget easily.”

“I also don’t doubt the princess’s firearms. But people say that people forget thousands of things a day. There’s no law telling the princess not to do that.”

It was still not clear whether this was an arbitrary decision from Heyri’s loyalty or an order from the princess, so I drew a line in the hope that my answer would reach the princess.

Fortunately, Heyri stopped talking about the princess while following Visquente.
