172 Episode 172 "After" Rookie Training "and" White Wings "that Connect Master and Slave".txt (2/2)

”Even now, ...... it is wobbling and shaking.

I wonder why they wanted to hold the workshop in that place.

'Whatever it was, they were trying to create a suspension bridge effect by increasing the sense of urgency. Master.

But hey. Is it really a coincidence that the snakes are here?

Well.

Well, you know.

Iris and Raphilia looked at each other.

''...... I heard that the 'training coordinator' who set up this plan came from King's Landing.

...... has already disappeared.

Whether it was an accident or a conspiracy is still unknown at this time.

What should I do──Iris thinks about it.

It's not difficult to defeat the demons. It's a good idea to have a few arrows in the air. The rest of the time, all of the regular soldiers will be able to defeat the enemies who attacked back.

But in the tower is the next lord, Royeld. To Iris, he is a boy with whom she is related, and he is about to take over the port city. He's still young and I don't want him to die for this. Besides, losing Reuerd here would disrupt the homeland that had settled down so well.

For Iris, being a priestess of the port city of Irgafa had always been a burden.

But now Irgafa is home to someone Iris cares about.

Anyway, I want the town to be at peace. Otherwise, Iris herself will have to work to govern the town. If that happens, you can go to .......

”──I won't have time to flirt with my brother.

I'm afraid you have a big problem.

Iris and Raphilia nodded seriously.

'We'll settle this promptly. And then they would follow their master.

We've decided what we need to do. The only thing left to do was to find a way to do it.

''With Master's 'Bad Luck Annihilation' and 'Torrential Rain Archery', can you take a critical hit ...... on all the snakes?''

It's a good idea to aim at the eyeballs. After that, I'll use 'Ryuushuu Senpuu' to blow them away and leave the rest to the regulars.

Whispering and whispering.

Iris and Raphilia squatted down and put their foreheads together to discuss the matter.

'The problem is the damage to the tower when the snakes run amok. This will be hard to predict: ......

I'd love to have a way to neutralize them in an instant, without the other side having time to lash out: ......

Iris and Raphilia looked at each other.

They knew what they wanted to say to each other without having to put into words.

''If you have ...... big brother (master), you can go to .......''

I'm not afraid of anything.

I'm not afraid of succeeding, or failing, or even if it cost me my life .......

But I was also afraid to ask for help.

If they said they were in trouble──and their masters would surely come to their aid. If that happened, they would be the slaves themselves who would cause trouble. In truth, they should have been able to join Nagi and the others ...... without any problems.

It would be a disqualification for a ...... slave(Doroi) to do this. ......

I can't face the master, sir.

”Fumuumu, fumuumu, funi

Pomp, pomp, pomp.

The next thing I knew, there was a pure white stuffed animal standing between Iris and Rafilia.

'Huh?　Who are you?

”Woof, woof, woof.

Oh, I'm sensing a familiar spell.

Raphilia stroked the surface of the plush toy with her white fingers.

'A white dragon golem?　But it's soft. Soft and fluffy: ...... What the hell is this?

”Funniest, funniest.

The white dragon golem tapped a teary-eyed Iris on the shoulder with its wings.

It was as if he was trying to placate her.

'Where did you get ......?　No, you can make something like this: ......?

Iris hugged the dragon golem.

'And it's kind of warm and nostalgic, isn't it? This is your brother and ...... another one. Could it be - this is.

”It's Dengon. Iris Okaasan.

There was a voice.

A pretty voice that Iris knew came from the mouth of the pure white golem.

The voice said, ”Otou-san has unlocked the consciousness transfer function. That's why I was able to fly like this.

I knew it, White!

Mr. White!　You're already born?!

”No! Raphilia-onee-san.

When I looked closely, I saw that the dragon shaped golem had a silver bracelet around its neck.

It's a world item that should be on Nagi's arm, 'Armband of the Heavenly Dragon (White)'.

'This is ...... eh. I'm not going to be the only one who has a golem made by the coolest Seijosama. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future. And you know what? I think Dad decided to make this into White's temporary body. So that he could fly quickly to Iris-kaasan.

Why ......?

Iris asked with a pompous look on her face.

'Why is your brother here?　Besides, White's bracelet is a very important item, isn't it?　Why?

”You're doing great, Iris.

'Ritogon' with White rubbed his face against Iris' cheek.

''She thought she was crying because she was in trouble and had to put up with it.

...... My brother is a big brother... ......

Iris couldn't help but cover her face.

She didn't want White, who had come all this way, to see her crying.

''Otou-san is right around the corner, too.

White whispered in Iris's ear.

''White came one step ahead of you to tell Iris Okaasan and Rafilia-san about it.''

Thank you for ...... yes ...... thank you. Dear White.

I don't know why my voice shook, I couldn't say anything else.

You're right, big brother.

You're going to save Iris, you're going to make her cry, what are you going to do?

Iris, it's just a little thing, but it's a work in progress and I promise you my soul.

I'm not going to beg you for anything.　Even if you don't like it, we'll still be connected in spirit. Big brother.

That means the master is near, isn't it?

'Yeah. White was one of the first to arrive. He's here to tell you the mission!

I hear Raphilia and White's voices.

Iris wipes her face with the sleeve of her clothes and clenches her fists.

Then, please tell us your plan. Mr. White.

Then I take a deep breath and tell him.

The White in front of me is a dragon-shaped golem, but he looks like he's smiling, somehow.

Iris presses her chest. It's throbbing. But this isn't from anxiety.

”I'm as good as winning already, right?

I mumbled and looked up at the tower on top of the mountain.

The number of giant land snakes surrounding the tower has not changed.

The tower is creaking and the stones that make up the walls are slowly peeling away.

You can't understand why they're holding a training session for new recruits of the next Lord Royeld in a place like this. Dangerous, tiring, and forcibly slipping in the cooperation of the people... It's really absurd.

Iris spat in her mind.

Because there is no need for such things for Iris.

There's no need to improve the cooperation with each other. Because...

Even if there is no such thing, this is how Iris and the others are connected.

Iris took out a short cord (string) from her clothing pocket.

'Master. Please.

Yes, sir!　It's a transformation!

Shuru, Rafilia's fingers tie up Iris's hair.

The hair style is a fluffy ponytail. And if you tie a bandana to it...

From now on, you will be your brother's slave!　'Mystery Thief, Melody' will be a hit!

”Another mystery elf, Raffy!　I'm doing it!

Raphilia, with her hair tied into a ponytail, raises her fist in the air.

'Then I thought White was a mystery dragon!

Then let's wear matching ribbons!

Iris tied a pink ribbon to the tail of 'Ritogon' with White.

''Operation begins!

Shh.

Iris, Raphilia and Shiro (Ritogon) pointed at the tower at the same time.

You have to wait. This incident is just a foolishness or a conspiracy of some sort...

The master's slaves will find a solution to your problem.

So this is your strategy, then?

Then White tells Iris and Rafilia about Nagi's plan...

The Nagi Party's ”Operation Cleanup for New Employees' Workshop” had begun.
