Chapter 804: Intermission: The Path the Red Dragon Took - Part 2 (1/2)
On that day, the night of the biggest battle since the creation of Trinia, a petite, red-haired girl was standing on a rocky mountain in the southern part of the Demon Realm…… It was Nidzveld, in her humanoid form.
Nidzveld was drinking a cup of sake by herself, watching the moon in the sky.
”……How unusual. For you to be drinking sake……”
[……Want to hang out with me, Eingana? Today will be my treat.]
”Fumu.”
With the sudden appearance of the huge Sea Dragon, Eingana, one of the Four Great Demon Dragons, Nidzveld invited her to drink, to which Eingana thought about it for a moment before her body flashed.
Thereupon, the huge shadow disappeared in an instant and landing next to Nidzveld was a beautiful woman with long indigo hair blowing in the wind, sitting down next to her.
[Well then, I'll take you up for your word then.]
[Yeah.]
Nidzveld then took out a new sake cup and handed it to Eingana, and holding the bottle in her hand, Eingana poured some sake into it.
[……This is quite a good sake, isn't it?]
[It's one of my treasures. I'm unable to acquire that much of this sake, and if I drink it in my Dragon form, I will end up immediately drinking all of it…… However, this will be a toast to my comrade. A sake as good as this would be fitting for this event.]
[Comrade?]
[I'm talking about him who would be the star of this battle.]
[……Fumu. Do you know him?]
Hearing Eingana's words as she elegantly drank, Nidzveld lightly shook her head, and after taking out her kiseru pipe from the holder on her waist, she sucked on it before speaking.
[No, we have never directly spoken. But albeit briefly, we have fought together in the same direction.]
[That's why, he's your comrade huh? That's the first time I've heard you refer to someone like that.]
[I certainly never called anyone that before.]
[……It seems like you like him a lot huh.]
As the tip of the kiseru pipe in her mouth lit up, Nidzveld lightly exhaled purpose smoke from her mouth and calmly looking at Eingana, she answered.
[……I've been wanting to meet him for a while now.]
[Fumu.]
[When Magnawell-sama first told us that he owed him, we didn't know the details of the situation. However, that next incident…… that matter with the Demon King has reached my ears. I thought it was quite a big deal…… Challenging the world's taboo that even we couldn't touch, he overcame it.]
She, Freabell Nidzveld, is very fond of those who challenge and treats them with respect. Therefore, this is why she has been interested in Kaito for a long time, as he cut into the matter of the world's taboo, the Demon King.
[……The first time I saw him in person was at the Six Kings Festival. Sitting on the spectators' seats, I was able to watch his battle with War King-sama.]
[I had also watched that battle myself. I see…… Now that you mentioned it, he certainly would be the kind of person you'd like.]
[Yeah, it was great, especially at that moment before the goal. How could I not like a man with such a passionate goal?]
[Is that why…… you are celebrating his victory?]
Listening to Nidzveld, Eingana looked a little unconvinced. She can certainly understand why Nidzveld, who likes those who challenge, likes Kaito. However, she felt that this was not enough for Nidzveld to be in such a good mood, calling Kaito, whom she had never met in person, her comrade.
Seeing such an Eingana, Nidzveld slightly smiled and was about to continue her explanation. However, at that moment, a shadow came over them and a new voice was heard.
[What an unusual sight.]
[In～deed～ it～ is～.]
[Would you two like to join us too? As expected though, you would have to get your own alcohol, Grandiereus.]
Hearing Nidzveld invite Fanfir and Grandiereus, also members of the Four Demon Dragons, to join in, the two of them looked at each other, before Fafnir turned into a humanoid form while Grandiereus just slightly bent over.
After making a small pile of alcohol barrels appear for Grandiereus, who had a huge body, Nidzveld drank from the sake cup in her hand.
