Chapter 50 (1/2)

Chapter 50

Pure white petals fell down in the white city

It looked like angels’ feathers were falling down and fluttering about

In the sky above the city, dozens of dragons and dragon knights were taking turns in circling and scattering the petals

It was one of the ie as if angels were swooping down upon the city

Under the sky which atched over by the angels, this year too, people were ratitude towards the angels

It seeood at what he does

The wound on my cheek disappeared in about an hour without a trace

After finishi+ng the treatment, I went out to the city where it became a festive mood

A fewover me

I had used up the , so it was reasonable

Rather, I should thank hi happened to me

I wanted to look around freely, but I would keep quiet so as not to worry him

『Even so, to stop the ard for injuries

Having such a courageous friend, I am proud』

『What are you saying

Erica is a woman, so her face is very important

Rather, it is good because there is no trace left……』

At

I guessed Otou-sama didn’t hear them thanks to the bustle, but I didn’t want to risk it

The current Tirnanog’s equipment was made with several sheets of are

I re-used the alcheinally carved and reconstructed hi the medical treatment

Since the tied to inal armor

The two fellow beasts who had becoth decreased drastically

I had no choice but to pray that nothing happens until we returned to Aurelia territory

『GRRAAH! Shut up, cat!

What’s wrong with giving praise for le!』

『Ahahaha! Such a slow punch will never hit me!

Such a slow serpent, youof the Beasts!』

Circling aroundeach other

Tirnanog swung his claw and Palug dodged it when it ithin a hair’s breadth distance

Although I was sure that it didn’t hit her, when I saw she kept provoking him, I felt anxious

His current armor was small, but if it hit the body of a kitten, it would be a deadly

“Both of you, Otou-sama is nearby, so please be quiet”

『Umu I understand』

『Ye~s I will be careful not to be found out』

With reluctant looks, the two stopped their battle completely

Their breaths were synchronized

Yup, I guessed they were on good terms with each other

I put both of theain

Drinks such as alcohol and fruit juice were distributed around the city

Together with the words ‘Thank the Angel’, people knocked their cups together

Adults, children, nobles, and commoners as well

Everyone smiled and made a toast

Unlike the aristocratic feast held in the royal castle, the difference in status see to do with the banquet of the day

It was a festival that seeap between nobles and commoners thinner

In this country, funda under God which was stained

I also received a cup of fruit juice and decided to participate in the event

In the cup that I had received, a piece of petal lightly floated

(Ah, how beautiful)

I was fascinated by the beautiful in of luck

Someone knocked my cup in a surprise toast

“Thank the Angel It seelad, Erica”

“Hyah!? O……Onii-sama, when did you–!?”

“Just now, I saw you playing with the cat and golem”

Dangerous

If I was late in stopping the phantoht by Onii-sama

Onii-sama seemed to make eye contact with Otou-sama

Otou-sama nodded and left with some escort alchemists

That was the way to the square in front of the cathedral

“The report to His Majesty has finally been completed

Finally, I can walk around the festival slowly together with my cute Erica”

“What about Otou-sama?”

“Father seems to have some business with His Majesty From here on, I will be the one to escort you”

“Thank you very much”

In contrast to Otou-sama who had the tendency to leavee

I had to bewouldn’t be exposed

Especially the cat whose eyes were hearts

“When you say ‘reporting’, it was about the investigation with Klaus-saht?”

“That’s right With the exception when they were explaining the situation, Louis’ faction was dramatic in various places

Along with the report, I handed hinitia royal family”

“Aah, I see”

“Even after this, the investigation of Ignitia’s territory in Karkinos is waiting for Louis’ escorts

It really hurts my head

I need a fresh air for a while, or the frailto collapse”

“That is……thank you for your hard work”

When I looked at hiy turned around and smiled sweetly at me

Even though he hiation was serious

I would like for hi this short break

“Speaking of which, why did Onii-saation?”

“Aah, it was by chance, that’s right……do you remember the collapse accident of the Ruins of Visitor two o?

After that, I asked for an esti rocks

Then, even if we estimate the minimum, it seems that it will take ten times as much as my pocket money”

“I-it takes that much money, huh……”

It was a fact that e

I put a smile on my face hurriedly so that my upset didn’t appear on my expression

“It was impossible to continue the investment alone

I have just gotten the cooperation agreeic Academy, so it was a shame”

“That’s truly regrettable”

“But at such time, His Majesty Henry talked to me about the top secret audit

Under the condition that His Majesty will become a sponsor of the excavation project,

I undertook the audit”

“I see……if the King joins, other Ignitia aristocrats are likely to contribute together”

“That’s right”

As expected of Onii-sama It was a wonderful work

He turned anything into profit

If I thought about it, unless the case at the Ruins of Visitor happened, the events on the Island of Messenger would have been different

Eduart-oniisama wouldn’t audit Louis and continued the ruins excavation

Tirnanog/Zaratan as sealed at the deepest part of the ruins and fused with Ann, who died, would be kept unknown

Klaus as in a shock after losing his sister, wouldn’t reoccur for a while Naturally, he wouldn’t be a part of the audit

No uste’s contract ritual without their power, nor could I clear the suspicion that was held against Auguste

The fact that I stepped over the trap of the ruins was going around and solving the problenitia

It was said that fortune was unpredictable and changeable, and that disaster and happiness were two sides of a rope

“Good grief, for the ti, it seeation

When this work is over, I’d like to think about eidolons in leisure”

“It would be nice if you could enter the Ruins of Visitor”

“That’s absolutely right

But instead of that, I’d like to investigate about the beloved cat of the Founder King, Cath Palug”

“Ehh!? Palug!?”

I was surprised when the name of the phantom beast came out from unexpected person

I almost dropped my cup in surprise

Palug herself as on my shoulder also moved her ears with a twitch and watched Onii-sama intently

“The truth is, I heard interesting stories between the audit of Louis”

“What kind of stories?”

“It seenitia

Variation are rich with lions, leopards, and cats, but they all seem to be monsters with the appearance of a feline”

“H-heeh……”

“For some reason I was interested and searched for the reation on one hand Then, I found so”

“So?”

“The group of ures and names may actually be one eidolon”

“No way……”

“A young King and an eidolon who guides the Hero always appeared in the turning point of Ignitia’s history……thinking from an outsider’s point of view, they see

Aah, perhaps the powerful awakening of His Highness Auguste’s ability was also because that eidolon was involved”

“Onii-sama’s ideas never fail to surprise me”

It roughly matched

What an incredible reasoning power

It was understandable that Louis who should have been doing the collusion for a long time couldn’t escape

“It’s not a bad idea to have a track record of investigating Ignitia’s eidolon first

Fund procure smoothly from the royal aristocracy as well, and researchers who understand about eidolons also can be increased

It’s a good thing”

“About the cat uste-sama knows about the details”

“Oya, His Highness Auguste?

I see, then I have to talk to him about this

—Also, about the reason Erica very familiar with him”

“Eh?”

I see, it was certainly a concerning point

Fro too quickly and that was very surprising

Frouardian, it would be very worrisome

My contact with Auguste in the public place hen I said the poeel the day before yesterday

“Don’t worry There is nothing to be guilty about

Auguste-sama is a friend of mine

When I happened to be in the cathedral, we hit it off ere talking about the old paintings”

“……Friend? Are you just friends?”

“Of course—”

“Of course, we’re not just friends!”

“Wah!?”

Suddenly soht my arm, and my heart was about to jump out

When I turned around, my eyes met with familiar purple eyes

Ah, that was surprising So it was Auguste, huh

He changed his clothes fro outfit to the formal wear of a prince in the middle of the incident

But this prince, to suddenly appear and cut in our conversation

“Heeh……Your Highness, if you’re not ‘just friends’, then what is your relationshi+p with Erica?”

“Uuste-sama?”

“Yes, yes, Erica and I, we are good friends

Only for the h, Onii-sama”

“Is that so That’s good

By all ood friends with Erica forever”

Onii-sauste smiled sweetly at each other

Both of the, but the at

And Auguste too, ould he said so that could be misunderstood?

Combined with Onii-sama’s siscon tendency, it became an explosive situation

For a while, the two of the at each other silently

In the end, Auguste seemed to have lost and took his hand off of me

“You are a shrewd person, Sir Eduart”

“I’ll accept it as a couste”

After saying such words, the tense athtly loosened

Goldberry appeared souste’s shoulder

She threw the piece of ht above her, snapped into it and filled her mouth with it

“Yosh, yosh, you already ate enough, Goldberry”

“Kyurururu?”

“Yeah, it can’t be helped Today is special but froain weight”

“Kuaa”

Goldberry rubbed her cheek on Auguste’s, narrowing her eyes and swishi+ng her tail back and forth

Tirnanog was also cute, but the dragons of Ignitia were also cute with their cat-like gestures

When I was thinking about such things, Goldberry caughtaround

Palug as on my shoulder stiffened

Apparently, Goldberry seemed to stare at her kitten form

『Oh no……I forgot to delete the memory of that child……』

Palug muttered in a quiet voice that could only be heard by me

She juround and hid behind ht

『Cat……what a foolish guy』

“Kyu……? Kyurururu!”

Tirnanog ed his shoulders

Goldberry was staring at Tirnanog this time

So when she encountered handsome men

She quickly flew over to

Speaking of which, this child was curious about the content of Tirnanog since the start

“Kyuaah……?”

『Stop it! I, I a inside!』

Tirnanog whose face armor was almost opened, twisted himself away and clambered down to escape

When Tirnanog reached the ground, Goldberry iround and followed him

As they started chasing each other, soon Palug also joined in

The

in

The three of the around

“Oi~, don’t tease them, Goldberry”

“Don’t go too far, alright?”

When we called out to them, those small beasts had already disappeared

Oh well

Goldberry was strong, and she was clever even if Tirnanog and Palug were also weakened

Or rather, it wasto be exposed to Auguste through the sense of Goldberry

I hoped that it would work out fine

“That girl, she really likes Erica’s golem”

“It looks like it”

“I’olem”

“No way, it’s e to show the internal structure to Onii-sama”

“I see, that’s too bad”

This was troubling……Onii-sama became interested

But, if Onii-sama observed it carefully, it would surely be exposed that the content was a living being

In addition, it could also be said that Tirnanog was a homunculus

It would be difficult, but I had to gloss over it somehow

“Huh? That’s Eduart, right? Ooi~”

While I was suffering, I heard a familiar voice

Onii-sama turned towards where the voice came from

I stroked my chest in relief at the lifeboat that had fall down

The person approaching was a student of Leandez Magic Acade bundle held under his arm

Messy silver hair, the uniforentle and naïve smile

It was Actorius-sensei

What should I do, his glasses were crooked again

While I ondering whether I should point it out or not, Onii-salasses position in a moment

It was a quick work that only took a blink of time

“You haven’t change, Elric”

“Oya, I didn’t notice My glasses have been crooked all this ti you, Eduart”

Both of them felt somewhat accustomed with this

I wondered if this kind of exchange had been repeated froo

“Aah, excuse me, Ericsama is also here, huh

Uum……do I know the other boy too?

Ah that’s right, you’re the rider of Blackcurrant

Congratulation for your win”

“I auste

Thank you for taking care ofthe tournament”

“Eehh~~!? You are the prince?

I also thank you, I apologize for not recognizing you……I am a person named Elric Actorius

I am Eduart’s school friend”

Actorius-sensei hurriedly bowed towards Auguste

As expected, Auguste seemed to be the winner of the tournament

I guessed that was natural

Louis who did wrongdoing using the eney couldn’t be treated as the winner forever

“You recognized him as Blackcurrant’s rider, but you didn’t notice that he was His Highness Auguste, Elric”

“I was busy with the investigation of the violation that Louis did, so I didn’t hear the name of the winner~”

“I’m sorry Because of what my family member did, the school people faced some hardshi+ps”

“No, no, don’t mind it

This is the extension of our original work
