150 Episode 150 "Two Blessed Towns and Their Guardians (with Information Warfare)".txt (1/2)

Will you listen to me? My lord.

The next day.

I was meeting with the Ilgafa lord through Iris' mediation.

The place was the parlor of the lord's house.

The rooms on the left and right have been cleared out and only the lord's butler and Rafilia are waiting at the end of the corridor.

''First of all, I would like to give you information about the gargoyle that attacked the town yesterday and its wielder.

I said.

The lord is listening to me with a nervous look on his face.

Soldiers have already begun to investigate the abandoned village where 'Veil' and the others were located.

I decided to give them information that cannot be obtained from what is there alone.

I'm going to be able to get the best out of it.

I'm not going to be able to get it right.

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

Lastly, if I magically analyze the mask that the Veil uses as evidence, I might be able to find out its connection to the princess.

I summarized up to that point briefly and told the lord.

''............So, that's what I thought.

The lord's voice was trembling.

It's understandable, isn't it? I was just about to welcome my successor and be at peace when the trouble with the royal family suddenly came in.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

The Baroness admitted that she had manipulated the gargoyles But for more information about her involvement with the royal family, see ...... its

You didn't tell him?

Yes, sir. And that it was an accident. That the gargoyle they were using to protect themselves just went out of control. He said that the Barons will compensate the Ilgaffa lordship family - that they are willing to give up part of their estate. So they asked me to release them.

Hmm. You're just going to push it through as an 'accident'?

The ”Vale” has completely lost his memory. The ”Ice Skill Pollution Skill” that he was using paralyzes even the thought processes. It seems that when he ate the ice, he lost his memory as well.

Even if he had his memories, it's impossible for him to speak honestly.

”...... Why does this only happen in our town ......

The lord held his head in his hands.

''With a new successor and finally settling in, how could this happen ...... I wish the sea dragon Kelkator would protect the ground as well.

The dragon that guards the earth: ......

I touched the 'Armband of Tenryu (White)' on my right arm.

...... White, it's just as it should be. Can I borrow your name?

”Good morning.

I put my mouth close to the bracelet and exchange a few words so that the lord can't hear me.

I've already talked to White and Iris yesterday, but just in case.

This is where the negotiations begin.

''Then, I would like to ask you to do me a favor. Would you be willing to unilaterally give this town ...... the blessing of a flying dragon in the sky?

............ Yes?

This is the Tenryu, to tell you the truth.

”Yes, yes, yes!

The lord widened his eyes and shouted.

''The Heavenly Dragon's! No, I have indeed heard rumors that the Tenryu has been revived and ...... that the wings of the Tenryu in the neighboring town have begun to collapse. ......

'In fact, the priestess, Iris, heard the words of the Heavenly Dragon in a dream. 'Tenryu,' 'by my side,' and 'I've been with you all along.' ......

............ Oh.

I'm not lying.

Me and Iris have heard the words of the dragon's residual thoughts in White's dreams.

For those of us in the town who are reeling from the gargoyle attack, it's welcome news that the town has received the blessing of the second dragon.

'Ta, indeed. It would be a blessing to the new lord, you know.

I don't think we'll be able to afford to let anyone who tries to ruin our town.

There have been nobles who have tried to ravage their dragon related heritage.

But they haven't touched the dragons themselves.

Eterina-Harsburg, who tried to destroy the Festival of the Sea Dragons, also tried to interfere with the rituals, but they didn't take any measures against the sea dragons themselves. They could have done it if they sent people and tried to attack it.

The Wings of the Heavenly Dragon, which was in Sharka's town, was revered as a good luck charm for the journey. Anyone who attempted to break or shatter it was guilty of a felony.

Carmina-san, whom we met in Foggy Valley, also attacked us in front of the celestial dragon in Illusionary Space, but she didn't attack the vision of the celestial dragon itself.

Probably because she knows ...... that she can't win.

So if this port city of Ilgafa can call itself 'I don't know what it is, but it's a town that received the blessing of the Heavenly Dragon and Sea Dragon', it should be a deterrent to the royal family and unseen enemies.

''To be precise, the Heavenly Dragon seemed to care about this town with a dragon's edge, the winged city of Sharka, and the area around the recreational area Mishlila, widely and shallowly. Iris felt that kind of feeling. ''My lord has heard rumors about the Tenryu, hasn't he?''

Indeed, ...... I have heard of the collapse of the 'Wings of the Celestial Dragon' in the neighboring town, and of the appearance of a celestial dragon in the resort town of Mishlila and the defeat of the hydra.

''We saw it with our own eyes. At that time, the Heavenly Dragon was only a head - the great Heavenly Dragon, so he must have resurrected that much and saved the town. His Holiness also said that. She said that the wrath of the Heavenly Dragon would come upon those who deceive and manipulate people. Isn't the Heavenly Dragon already resurrecting and watching over us? ......

...... Oh.

I think that's why Iris was able to hear the voice of the celestial dragon, too.

Let's make use of everything we've left behind in The Legend of the Heavenly Dragon.

Let's make use of all the 'Legend of the Heavenly Dragon' we've left behind.

How can you share such valuable information with me at ......?

Because we have a home in this town.

I said.

'This is where my best friend gave me a home for us and where I met my new friends. It's a place where I accepted being a 'Sea Dragon Hero' with the blessing of Kerkator, and decided to live here. I don't want it to be ruined by strange people. It's the same for you, isn't it? My lord.

'Yes, sir. It certainly is.

''I do not wish for much. Just like the Sea Dragon, this town has received the blessing of the Heavenly Dragon as well. Can you promise me that you will spread those rumors and that the lord family will accept those rumors with a 'Well, I don't know...' or 'I can't say for sure'?

Just in my town, I guess.

'I'm sure you know many people in the winged city of Charka and in the resort town of Mishlila. If you spread the word to them as well, I'm sure they won't be the only ones who will be interested in this town.

The lord seemed to think a bit at my words.

I wonder what will happen. I don't think there's any disadvantage to the lord-san.

It's not just the port city of Irgafa, but also the winged town of Sharka and even the recreational area of Mishlila, which is somehow the target of the 'Heavenly Dragon's Blessing', so this town is not the only one that gets attention. Even if the enemy considers dragons to be dangerous, their target should be spread over a wide area.

All that's left is for the person with authority - the lord family to 'somewhat' acknowledge their existence.

''It's enough to spread rumors that the nobles are afraid of the Tenryu coming if they do something bad.

............ Our town is a town that originally despises dragons.

The lord said, and nodded slowly.

''It's fine. I won't deny the rumor - I won't deny it - I'll spread it to the neighboring towns. If that's all you want to do.

We have a deal.

At the Sanctuary of the Sea Dragon.

''Just in time, but I've heard from ...... sea dragon Kelkator. The town recognizes the blessings of the celestial dragon, they have no problem with it.

Iris said after they left the sacred cave.

Rita drapes a cloth over the small body sitting on the rocky ground. Cecil magically makes a bonfire and begins to boil water.

'One more thing, I've also been given permission to borrow your name.

''Sea dragons and celestial dragons will punish those who wreck this town, right?''

That's the point of this operation, isn't it?

Iris, Rita and Cecil looked at each other as they hit the bonfire.

Then they looked towards the land. Although it's too far away from here, the Ilgafa lord's house is right in front of the girls' gaze. There, the three masters should be negotiating with the lord's house. We just had a hard time yesterday, so we all really want to take it easy.

But we don't know what the enemy will do.

The three of them think - if possible, they should stay still. As long as Princess Claudia and the royal family and all that stuff doesn't matter at all. Everything the Veil said is a lie, and she's the sole culprit in all of this. The family has nothing to do with it. The story is over.

If that were the case, then Nagi and ourselves would be able to relax at home.

In fact, ...... I wanted to tell you how worried we were when Nagi was gone, but ......

Absolutely, Cecil. Even Iris couldn't stop shaking after she heard that her brother had been taken.

This time, I was reminded again.

How much we need and care for our master.

...... And you never know when an incident will happen.

...... Even if you could sleep with your brother today, doesn't mean you'll be able to tomorrow?

”...... Do you understand, Mr. Iris?

...... Of course, Mr. Cecil.

Kudos. Mm-hm.

The two little guys look at each other and nod their heads.

...... Nagi-sama said you were going on a company trip again, right?

...... You'll be 'blinging' during the company trip, right?

'...... good. 'Blayko'.

...... We will definitely do it this time, 'blayko'.

'Um ......, Cecil, Iris?'

While Cecil and Iris talk with serious faces, Rita just wanders around them.

I can't interrupt them because I know how they feel. It's a good idea to have a good time with them, but it's also a good idea to have a good time with them.

─ I hugged Nagi naked .......

There was some kind of ward-like thing, so I broke it, and then something undead-like appeared, so I kicked every single one of them away, and after I noticed Nagi's presence and scent, I went in a straight line.

I ran through at full speed and hugged my master as it was. That's it.

Every time I remember it, I turn red. My heart feels like it's going to burst.

But because of that, Rita's resolve is hardened and she can't say anything about Cecil and Iris' readiness for the 'company trip'. Because you can never say it's crazy. Such feelings are something that even Rita has as a matter of course. ......

The only time you'll hear from Cecil and Iris is after this mission is over.

So Rita had no choice but to say that in a big sisterly tone.

''If you don't get carried away, you'll get tripped up, you know. Now we have to focus on the plan!

Okay.

'I'm sorry. Dear Rita.

Cecil and Iris are now in a very careful posture.
