Chapter 7 (2/2)

「Then you could very well come with me……!?」

Nectar was unable to finish that sentence, lare

「Now listen up You are already a dead man to me There is no place for you in here anymore, so whatever happens to this country, it is of no concern to you Understood? …… And if by soon did not understood that, you can interpret that to him」

Their conversation finished, thanks to which the contents for interpretation were actually shorter than the actual conversation

I understood that Nectar got falsely accused and since he should be dead, he wouldn't be persecuted further

However, I wanted to know the reason for why the atmosphere between those two suddenly beco interpretation was finally over, Kyle looked at me with a serious expression

「I aht haron I am also aware that it is thanks to you that Nectar is safe and sound For that I arateful to you If you find it in yourself, I would like to ask you to keep on protecting hiicians Please, I beg of you」

「Even if I didn't want to, the oath that binds us is absolute Also, I too want to learn lots and lots of things fro of it」

In answer to htened his back, holding out his right hand that held his staff on the level of his abdoesture was established in ancient tiifted with superbrespect was taught to hied

「I appreciate it」

「This is----」

「Captain! Are you alright!?」

「Are you injured anywhere!?」

「So the rumors about this place are true…… Every hair in ht now!!」

I wanted to ask him ould he carry a burden like that all on his own, but it seethened his resolve, his coht up with him and surrounded him, and I ultimately ht up with me You're late, you lot!」

「No, we could never be as fast and as courageous as you, Captain! If anted to do that, ould have to go to hell and back And why are you standing so close to this thing, Captain!?」

「It's alright, it can be a much better conversation partner than you idiotic lot You can try to talk to it, see what I mean yourself In addition, it see to understand his ancient wisdo straight at h away their fear and anxiety

Soon, they change their attitude as if soical switch has been flipped

Maybe it's because they've been through a lot, or maybe it's simply because of the environe s onto Kyle's lips, as well as the astonishment on his subordinates faces when they have seen Nectar

「W, what is it?」

「Surely you e with all the caht?」

「This, this is……」

「It ritten there that should the country's watchdogs get sluggish in giving chase after you, you should flee towards the country's border and don't bother aiting for ical curses during the escort There was no way for me to know that……」

「If you were done in by that Chaos Dragon it would be a completely different story, but I won't hear any excuses! I was balancing between life and death trying to look for you, even using the unfa ancient on? You don't even know just how ht now!」

「Wait just a moment Time out! Time out! Time out!」

Unable to keep up with Kyle's sudden fuss any longer, I poked at Nectar with such a great speed that no one was able to keep track of et caught up in all of this, since they were only guarding their captain, and since the distance that was in between us was a little too much for me, I watched for a short while with a mixed expression before finally someone of hison here? Is this about the usual thing?」

Just as I thought, they were afraid They were looking a themselves for a short while, until finally someone stepped before the line, a 50 years-old ht First of all…… You are always getting so agitated when Nectar-dono does so stupid or careless, Captain Since you are our leader, we thought it necessary to make you aware of this fact」

With a bitter sine just what kind of relationshi+p hed in spite of ood bunch」

「Correct」

Even though everyone else got scared of this Dragon chuckle of mine, the bearded man answered me without fear

Ahh, this manthat roup another voice could been heard

「U woirls in there, as well

「What is it?」

「Uic set up around this forest was tuned to intercept only the kinds ofany interference to any other kinds of ic, since that would interrupt their functions Could you telllike that?」

The question itself was asked in a really bashful e it must have took to speak up in the first place You could even hear other voices saying 'That's the spirit!' or 'Well said!' or You sure are so her in such fashi+on

U up barriers like that was a standard ability for all Dragons

It was really not easy at all, trying to explain it on the spot like that I tried to copy the algorithm that I followed and incorporate it in the ritual itself, so that way I could show it instead of having to explain Easier said than done

「……Umm」

「!! ! I am terribly sorry for my impertinence! At the very least please spare ht, but then I noticed that that the girl was suddenly panicking and started to freak out, begging for her life with all of her ht

All of a sudden screa so full of lare at us like that!' W, wait just a laring at you or anything!

「I thought that I could teach you with only the words I know, but it see to write the forive them a read sometime And do not hesitate to contact me should you find any words that you are not familiar with」

They all looked with utmost curiosity as I continued to inscribe the details of the ritual on paper, deciphering itsthee sense of connection and belonging to them

However, the interaction between Kyle and Nectar was still soer at it, but it soet
