42 Episode 42 "Meeting between the King of Frontiers ... (2/2)

Lysette and Garunga must have understood what I was saying. They closed their mouths and listened carefully.

Princess Sylvia and the soldiers were puzzled.

But their faces gradually stiffened. They must have heard what I heard.

”...... guh. I'm sure the demons of the ...... frontier have been wiped out. ......? ”It's hard ......, this goblin is .......

The screams of the soldiers could be heard from the riverbanks and the forest.

”Demons!　Why?

If you're the daughter of the Grand Patriarch of Kittle, you know that the frontier is full of demons, don't you?

Basically, demons don't target groups that are stronger than themselves, unless they're being controlled by someone else.

Their habits are no different from those of wild animals.

That's why Princess Sylvia, surrounded by nearly 20 soldiers, was not targeted.

The only reason we weren't targeted was because we flew too close.

But soldiers isolated in the woods or in the grass are different.

A group of three is a small number. Demons usually attack.

And the soldiers are under orders not to move. They can't even speak. They're easy prey for demons.

If the soldiers are dispersed and placed in a remote area where demons are present, they will be attacked.

”...... Aren't you the 'King of the Frontier'?

So?

You said it yourself. You said you destroyed the demons of the frontier. Then how can there be demons in a place like this!

You're the one who asked for a meeting at a neutral place, right?

What?

That's why I lifted the perimeter. This is not my territory now. That's why the demons showed up. That's all there is to it.

That's why I worked with Haruka yesterday to adjust the wards.

The wards are deployed using the magic of the earth. It's a great way to make sure you don't end up in a situation where you can't get out of the house. Demons will not enter either.

However, Princess Sylvia demanded that the meeting be held in a neutral place.

If there is a ward, it will be treated as my territory. That's why I tried to change the warding of Hazama Village so that only this area was missing. And I got it.

The wards of the abandoned castle and the fortress remain intact, so there are no demons in the Harpy and Mawari Village. I've told the people of Hazama Village not to go outside. I asked Harpy and the others to check if there were any caravans moving along the road.

All that was left to do was to finish the meeting and quickly set the wards back to maximum.

The King of the Frontier kept his word. The demon's return is just a consequence. If you hadn't kept your soldiers in the dark, nothing would have happened.

”Ahhhh!

When I said that, there was a scream.

Several soldiers rushed out from the riverbank. My body is spindly. Their eyes are rolling around.

”It's the Kuro Centipede's poison!

Lysette shouted.

The riverbank is home to the Kuro Centipede, a large centipede with a poisonous hallucinogenic effect!　It's not a good idea.

That's not good. That's not good. We'll end up fighting each other!

I shouted to the princess.

Soldiers!　Hold those soldiers!　The rest of you go to the riverbank and forest!　The rest of you, go to the riverbanks and the forest to rescue those under attack!

”No, half of you stay behind to guard the Princess!

”No, half of you stay behind and guard the princess!” Princess Sylvia and her old attendant gave the order.

Princess Silvia and her attendant give the order. The soldiers take their weapons and begin to move immediately.

The soldiers begin to move immediately, weapons in hand. ...... This can't be ...... happening. ......

”This is the frontier, Princess Sylvia. Princess Sylvia.

”This is the frontier, Princess Sylvia,” said Lisette to the trembling Princess Sylvia.

It's just that Brother Shoma is using his power to keep the peace. Normally, this place is infested with demons and it's dangerous to travel the streets. That's what this place is. Can't you see that?　Princess Sylvia.

”............ Ah, ah, ah.

If Lord Keeper Kittle wanted to make the frontier his own, Lysette and the others would flee to any extent.

Of course, you can't give your brother's blessings to invaders. The Lord Keeper's army will have to make its way through a horde of demons.

They will pitch their tents in the forest where goblins roam and sleep in the midst of the man-eating Kurohounds. Do you really think you can wage war in such conditions?

”............

Princess Sylvia is at a loss for words.

”...... Brother. Lisette is angry. The human princess is lying.

Lisette looked at me with a strong gaze.

Brother Shoma kept his promise and came here with only Lisette and Garunga. But Princess Sylvia brought a lot of soldiers with her. I could forgive that. But she had soldiers lie low to shoot her brother. In the name of righteous Lisette-Louge, I can't let this lie go unpunished.

You insist?

I insist.

...... All right. But you can only show it to me.

I said, and Lisette nodded seriously.

What are you doing? Subhuman girl!

I'm not going to do anything. It's just that I'd rather you didn't point that 'defense field' at me.

Princess Sylvia nodded at Lisette's words.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'd like to know what you think.

...... Huh.

The soldier holding the parasol was laughing.

You think a subhuman can do anything about this?　You can try.

”I'll tell you something. I'll tell you one thing: If you had aimed an arrow at Brother Shoma, ...... you would have been the only ones hurt.

Lysette said, picking up a branch at her feet.

She said, picking up a branch at her feet, ”As long as I have my brother's new name, no magic can penetrate Lysette!

Wake up. Wake up. Lysette's other name - her name is Lysette-Luge.

Lysette swung the twig down.

I'm sure you'll agree.

It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find anything you like.

I'm not sure what to say.

I'm not sure what to do.　I'm not sure what to do.

I'm sure he saw it from a distance and misunderstood.

A soldier in a robe, probably thinking that Princess Sylvia was being attacked, shot a small fireball at Lisette.

It won't work.

Lysette swatted it away with a twig in her hand.

One after another.

One after the other, as if in a noble dance, she dispelled the flying magic.

This is the power of the Naming Breath that I cast on Lisette.

I gave the name Lisette-Luge a new attribute.

I thought about it a lot, but ...... the name I gave her was ”Lysette = Luge” according to her wishes.

He looks like a bit of a midget, but he's very capable.

After all, she has gained the power to make all reason cease and spells flow away.

This will nullify any magic that Lisette touches.

Defensive magic, offensive magic.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

...... But we've banned it because of the risk.

No!　It's our fault, sir. Stop it!

Princess Sylvia shouted.

”The King of the Frontier!

Boom.

It was sudden.

Princess Sylvia bowed her head in front of me.

”I was wrong, sir!　The frontier was not a place I could touch!

At the sound of her voice, the soldiers stopped moving.

The soldiers stopped moving. They all stared at the trembling princess in silence.

The soldiers all stopped moving. I will persuade my father. Please go to .......

”Of course. We're the ones who wanted the alliance.

Me, Lisette and Garunga exchanged glances.

We don't want to antagonize the Kittle Patrol.

It's a good thing that you understand that I'm not trying to antagonize you.

”Dragon Seed Awakening... Dragon Roar!

A pillar of flame appeared on the street.

The soldiers and even the demons stopped moving for a moment.

The maximum-powered ”Breath” that I unleashed right above me became a huge smoke signal...

At the same time, Hazama Village...

”Haruka-san!　Leroy the Harpy, who was out on patrol, called!　He confirmed the flame of Shoma's dragon roar!

”Good. Then, I'll deploy the magic circle's warding at maximum power!

At the same time, in the plains near the frontier...

”Ooooooooooooooh! I can't believe it!

The demons' screams went up.

Particles of light were dancing around us. Haruka redeployed the wards.

The light quickly disappeared, and the surroundings regained their original appearance.

And the demons that were inside the wards...

”...... Gua”, ”...... Kyu”, and ”Shun”.

Every last one of them disappeared.

They were all low-level demons. I don't blame you.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on with .......

The soldiers are breathing heavily.

Those who have been poisoned by the illusion are being seized by the soldiers around them. No problem.

”Well then, Princess. We're done here.

I said.

We'll be waiting for the letter of alliance. Thank you for traveling so far today. There should be no demons on the way back, but please, be careful.

Soldiers, I apologize for earlier. Please forgive my rudeness. Goodbye.

Excuse me.

With that, we walked away...

Lisette, are you all right?

No, I'm fine. ...... Brother. If possible, I would like to return to the village as soon as possible. ......

Lysette is leaning against me with a red face.

Her steps are awkward. I can barely walk with my hand on my chest.

I'll run back. ”I'll run back. The king, take Lysette by air, please.

Garunga of the demon tribe raised his hand and started running.

I'll take your word for it. Lysette doesn't have much time. At any rate...

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

As an after-effect of this, the fibers of the clothes she wears will be cut off.

All clothes that come in contact with Lysette's skin will be affected.

Every piece of fabric will unravel into thread and every knot will be untied.

So...

”Please ....... Brother Shoma, more ...... slowly.

Lisette is clinging to my arm.

I'm jumping up and down with my ”Shoushu Kakusei” and heading straight to Hazama Village. It takes less than an hour by air. But in the meantime, Lisette's clothes are coming undone.

I told her not to use that power because of .......

It's for the sake of righteousness!　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. ...... The skirt is coming undone at the edges!　It's a trifle ...... to be by your brother's side like this .......

The next time you do this, don't use it until I say it's okay.

It depends!

You've got some nerve, Lisette.

It's for your honor and your brother's. I'm not afraid of this. ...... Oh, my brother is in trouble!

What's the matter now?

What's wrong now?　What's wrong now? - My underwear is coming undone! What is it this time?　I'm sorry, Dragon Lord!

I'm not sure what to do.

As a working adult in Alaska, I choose not to watch ...... the untied white cloth fluttering to the ground.

I headed for Hazama Village at full speed.

I need to do some more research on naming breaths for people.

And so, Princess Sylvia and the others left behind...

”Do not touch the ...... frontier.

Princess Sylvia said as she got into the carriage.

We must not make enemies of the King of the Frontier. Do not make enemies of the King of the Frontier. He is as powerful as or more powerful than ...... my father's nemesis. Listen. Don't mess with the frontier, that's the motto of the Kittle family!

And so, all the way back to the castle, the princess continued to repeat the same words to her soldiers.
