127 Gyptis Sphinx (2/2)

Does this mean the way to Arnac is now open?

I don't know what awaits us where we are going, but it seems we have no choice but to move on.

The One Who Defeats (Medjed) Kroki

Ride the chimera with Tona and fly through a sea of stars.

From the top of the chimera, they look down on the ground.

The lights of the city of Giptis can be seen below.

Around the Giptis Kingdom are the pyramids, the symbolic structures of the Gypsies.

Next to them is a giant statue of the Sphinx.

The pyramids are magical devices, placed in various locations to set up magical wards to protect the Gypseal nations.

The giant sphinx statue is actually a golem and sits at its side to protect the pyramid.

Normally, the Sphinx tribe has only women.

However, this sphinx-shaped golem has a male face and no wings.

I don't know why they do that, but it's interesting.

''That's the Kingdom of Giptis, isn't it?　Tona?

He nodded as he asked Totona, who was riding the chimera in front of him.

'Yes, that's Giptis. The biggest country in Gypsir.'

Giptis is the largest country in Gypsial and is also the gateway to Arnak.

Apparently, without the permission of the Pharaoh, the king of the Sphinx tribe who governs Giptis, we are not allowed to go to Arnak.

Since it seems to be the rule, myself and Totona ride the chimera to the royal palace of Giptis.

As we approach the royal palace, multiple arrows suddenly come flying in.

'Totona?　The arrows are coming!

I know. Medjed. The chimera's flying in, so it's no use.

Despite her panicked self, Totoona is calm.

She must probably think that the chimera has attacked her.

I will have to tell them that they are not the enemy somehow.

'What are we going to do?　Tona?

'It's a pain in the ass to explain. I'll just keep breaking through.

'What?!'

Tona increases the speed of the chimera.

The flying arrows are burned out by the chimera's flames before they can reach them.

It's reckless.

I'm surprised to learn a surprising side of Totoona.

The chimera flies over the top of the royal palace and descends into the courtyard.

When she descends into the courtyard of the palace, she is surrounded by dogmen with spears and bows.

'Wait!　Warriors!　I am Totoona, god of knowledge!　Bring Mert, the king (Pharaoh), to me!

The dog-man warriors look at each other as Totoona shouts.

One of the warriors may have gone to call for the king (Pharaoh), who steps back.

Shortly after, one of the winged women appears.

She has a long black okappa head with goldwork in the shape of a falcon reflecting the glow of the stars.

Her arms are covered with hair, which reminds me of a cat-like animal.

Her graceful face and brisk gait remind me of some career woman.

She is probably a pharaoh from the Sphinx tribe.

She seems to be a woman of considerable ability.

It's been a long time. It's been a long time, Tona-sama. I'm so glad to see you're here too, following Ishtia-sama: ......

'Long time no see Mart. I see that Lord Ishtia is already here in this Giptis.

After checking on Mart, Tona gets off the chimera.

She follows, followed by herself.

'Yes, I have just come and left this Giptis.

'I see, then maybe we can catch up if we go now.

This time the goal is to help Rage and the others.

As long as they don't find out who we are, we're better off staying by their side.

We might as well follow them and join them.

”Mart. I'm going to Arnac, okay?

Tona tries to get Mart's permission for a moment.

'Please wait. Master Totoona. The road to Arnac is dangerous right now.

I know something's wrong. But it's okay, Mart. I have a strong ally on my side.

Tona chuckles.

It's the first time I've seen such an expression.

''It is true that Totona-sama and the others have a brave man of light who is rumored to be strong. It would have been dangerous if he had been a little thinner: ......

Mart nods yes.

For some reason, the last word gets smaller.

'If that's okay. I'll let you go.

'No!　Not yet!　Please wait!　Master Tona!

However, Mart stops Tona from going straight to him.

'What?'　Mart?

Do you intend to take the man with you?

Mart's eyes grew steely.

'She'll be fine. He's under my control.'

Tona says, pointing to the chimera.

'No, sir. 'No, Lady Totoona. I am the one behind you.'

Mart's gaze catches his own.

'Excuse me?　What about this mysterious creature? It's too weird!

'What?!'

I am surprised when he suddenly points at me.

'I'm sensing a suspicious sign from that person!　Even for a man of the tongues!　I cannot let that one pass!

I don't know. I knew this outfit was too suspicious.

Do you want to take it off?

But it's moronic underneath. You can't take it off.

I can hide it by calling up the Dark Knight's armor, but if I do that, his true identity will be exposed in one shot.

If possible, I want to hide the fact that the dark knight is here in this land.

'This is Medjed. My guard. He is not suspicious.

Tona is quick to follow up.

Thank goodness.

I try to express that I'm not suspicious with my body language.

But Mart's expression only gets more grim.

'What is that suspicious dance? I'm sorry. I'm going to find out if it's not dangerous.

Not good!

I'm not sure about the sensibilities of the Beast Man (Beast Man), but to my sensibilities, a man with a spoonful of cloth underneath is definitely a pervert.

I can't help but sit up.

''That move is suspicious. Isn't he hiding something dangerous?

Mart comes closer to us.

A cold sweat breaks out on my back.

'Elyos beautiful boy naked image collection #13'

Suddenly, Tona mutters softly.

Then Mart stops walking.

'...... Dear Tona. What are you talking about?

Mart asks Tona in a trembling voice.

Why is that?

Sweat is running down her cheeks.

'The things you keep hidden in your bedroom. I read them in secret to comfort myself before I go to bed.

'Wow!　Wow!

Suddenly, Mart starts screaming.

The dogs under him are surprised.

I guess they're wondering what's going on.

”What? How did you know that?!

I asked Totona in a whisper as I packed up on the dash.

'Nell told me. She said you're a frail, slender, beautiful boy with no eyes.

Tona says with a cool look on her face.

''Princess~. How did you know that~. And why are you revealing it to me~'

Mart makes a tearful face.

'You see, Lady Tona. I have a position in ...... such talk in front of my subordinates, that .......

I wonder. I feel like I've gone from being a decent woman to a clunker all of a sudden.

Mart is glancing back.

The dog-man warriors are looking at us, wondering what this means.

'Don't say a word, just let me through and I'll get you the new one.

Tona whispered softly again.

She didn't miss the twitching of Mart's ears at that moment.

'Kokomoto. 'I understand. Totoona-sama. If you say so much, it must be okay.'

Mart cleared his throat and regained his composure.

'Thank you Mart,'

I don't mind. As expected of the wise god Totoona-sama. You hit on my weakness: ...... New work, please.

The rearmost is a whisper.

Totoona nodded at the words.

'All right. I'll take care of it, Mart. Let's go. Medjed.

Tona said and I nodded to myself.

I feel like I've seen a very bad exchange, but it's probably just my imagination.

Yup. It must have been!

I'll pretend I didn't see it.

With that thought in mind, I got on the back of Totoona.

The chimera roared and jumped up into the starry sky.
