Chapter 76 - 65: Legend of the Holy Bird (1/2)

Several days after changing the way I address the second princess to Melty.

We have been making considerable progress in the opposite direction of Silt Welt thanks to Firo.

Setting that aside.

Recently we have been encountering a lot of wild Philo Rials.

At night their calls remind me of howling wolves in the distance, it is very annoying, especially in the middle of the night.

Is there a Philo Rial habitat around here?

I wonder while sleeping.

It was midnight when and I was sleeping when suddenly.

”””Gua~!”””

”Firo, shut up.”

”It's not Firo.”

That was fairly close to us though, if it wasn't Firo then what was it?

Are there more wild Philo Rials?

”Umm...Naofumi-sama? I heard a lot of Philo Rial cries.”

I notice another cry, and this one is quite near.

”Thanks for reminding me. Firo, do you know how many there are?”

”I don't know.”

”Are they far off?”

”Well, They are coming.”

”What?”

”Be cautious.”

”Everyone said they are coming to meet with Firo .”

”Are they speaking to you with this cry!?”

”Yep.”

She nodded. I feel uneasy at large amount of Philo Rial cries that could be heard.

The bushes all around us start shaking, and silhouettes of Philo Rials could be seen.

”What the hell is going on!?”

”Waa...There are so many Philo Rial!”

Melty's eyes start to shine as she watches the Philo Rial.

”Umm, Melty. Listen well because I'll teach you something important.”

”What is it?”

”Philo Rials eat everything. Firo and I may be alirght, but if these Philo Rial attack, you and Raphtalia will be eaten.”

”What are you saying Naofumi. Philo Rials are gentle demons. There is no way they would do something like that.”

It's hard to keep a straight face after all that.

”Shit... I can't get to the neighbouring country to meet the queen,if joke-like developments with wild demons happen.”

The Philo Rials stop hiding and surround us.

There are way too many to count.

A bunch of Philo Rial eyes glowing in the darkness too.

There are Philo Rial as far as the eye can see.

Maybe this is a territorial despite between Philo Rial.

But Firo shouldn't be able to understand the concept of territory.

Firo may be recognized as an extremely high ranked Philo Rial, did they come thinking of her as a menace?

However, since Firo didn't give us a warning cry, this may be different.

Or rather... Did they come to scout Firo into their territory?

There is a possibility that is happening.

Alright, let's go with that.

”Firo, I hope you find happiness with these guys.”

”What are you saying suddenly,Naofumi-sama!”

”Firo-chan is going to leave!?”

”We can't help it. These guys came to pick up Firo.”

”Really!?”

”Separating from Master? No~!”

Firo, don't you understand the situation?

It's already too late. If we don't give up Firo here we'll be mobbed by a large amount of Philo Rials.

”Do your best for us, for these guys. Firo.”

After this situation is solved I'll have to go buy a new Philo Rial. I hope the next one won't be so annoying.

”No~!”

While we were bantering.

”””Gua~!”””

A group of Philo Rials just to divided into two like that one scene from Moses and the Ten Commandments.

what the hell?

”Gua~!”

One Philo Rial walks leisurely towards us. It is also pulling some luxurious carriage.

... There are jewels fitted onto that carriage.

I think I've seen some of those jewels before...Where was it?

I suddenly look at the shield.

There is a jewel that looks the same as those on the carriage.

”””Gua!”””

A group of Philo Rials salute and bows towards the Philo Rial that is pulling the carriage.

Rattlerattle, the Philo Rial pulling the carriage stops before us.

”Wow... that is cool. I'm jealous!”

Firo's eyes are sparkling as she watches the carriage.

I hate it. It's such an upstart carriage.

If I had the choice, I would rather not ride something like that.

”Gua!”
