180 The dream city of Arsedia (2/2)

''Um?　What?

I can feel Hulas's confusion.

'Hey, you. Look into Reno's eyes.

That was the moment Reno said that, and Hulas's eyes turn into a state of scowl.

''Wait!　What are you doing?　Reno!

I rush over to Hulas.

Perhaps Reno has cast a mental spell on Hulas.

What is he doing?

No, Chiyuki. She was under someone's mental control. I've broken it.

Reno's explanation surprised everyone present.

'Spiritual control!　Are you saying that Hulas was under a spell!　No way a dwarf!　That's ridiculous!

Tamriel shakes her head in disbelief.

Dwarves are good at earthy magic and granting magic, but they're not supposed to be able to use spirit magic.

''What do you mean?　Could it be that something other than dwarves have gotten in?

Syrone says uneasily.

'Perhaps someone who thinks of good things for the elves has tricked the dwarves into thinking that they are intruding.

''No way!　Oh no!　In this Alseidia!　But I can't think of anything else: ....... Dwarves sometimes bring in catwomen as wives, but I'm sure they couldn't use spirit magic either: ......

We look at each other.

I have a bad feeling about this.

It may not be the dwarves or their companions who are in this hall now.

Hey, shouldn't you go check on him?

Everyone nodded at Nao's suggestion.

It would be best to confirm who the visitors to this pavilion are.

We proceed through the mansion with Tamriel in the lead.

It's a spacious and tasteful interior.

It doesn't look particularly vandalized.

At the end of the hall, we come to a magnificent door.

This is the finest room in the house. May I?　I'll open it.

We nodded and Tamriel opened the door, and we found ourselves in a banquet hall.

There was a dwarf and a cat woman, and a few human women mixed in with the party.

The beautiful boys were busy moving among them.

The boys must be the ones working in this pavilion.

'Wow~. It looks like they're having fun. It's not just the dwarves, though. What's going on here?

”They are the wives of dwarves. Our princesses do not take kindly to them.

Tamriel explains.

'Our princesses are the elves, right?

Well, it seems that elves look down on human daughters and cat people's daughters, so Tamriel and the others must treat them lower.

He is basically a gentleman to the women, but he must be in trouble too.

''So that means that some of these women can use spirit magic.

From the looks of it, the dwarves are real. It doesn't feel like someone or something has magically turned into a dwarf.

I've been thinking about this for a while now.

As I was thinking about this, one of the dwarves noticed us and came over to us.

'Oh, isn't that Tamriel?　I didn't expect to find such fine rooms in the house. I thought the elves were poor, as they were usually so shabby and cramped.

The dwarf with the bottle swears under his boozy breath.

''You're Beregar, I'm sorry, but your treatment of the princesses has been ordered by them. I'm sorry, but you must leave this room immediately.

It's a little difficult to know if that girl will agree to the ......?　Who's the little girl behind you?　Not a bunch of evil elves, it seems?

Beregirl looks at us.

They are the companions of the brave Lady Raige, who was recognized by Goddess Raina. They have come to this city for a reason.

What?　A brave fellow!　No, this is ....... It may not taste good.

The last part of Beregar's words gets smaller.

What could possibly be tasteless?

As I was thinking about this, Shirone suddenly stepped forward.

''What?　What's the matter, Shirone?

But Cyrone doesn't respond to my voice.

She's looking straight at the back of the room.

Caught in the act, I follow her gaze.

In the middle of a large room, where a silver-haired girl is sitting on the most luxurious chair in the room.

She is a ridiculously beautiful girl.

She has black cat ears on her head, but I don't think she's a cat person.

It is a decoration to see.

The boys are waiting around the girl with silver hair.

It's as if they are waiting for their master's orders.

The girl was sitting on a large chair, lying down, like she was the master of the room.

'Hey!　I know that girl from somewhere!

'I sure do!　I've seen it before in the Republic of Ariadia!

Reno and Nao sound surprised.

Nao is right, I've met her too.

A beautiful girl like that can't be mistaken for anything else. I met her in the Republic of Ariadia.

Kuna, the silver witch.

That should be her name.

Why is she here?

Cyrone starts walking and heads towards her.

Why?　I wonder if you're here?

Cyrone asks in an angry tone.

'Sirone?'　That's our line. Why are you the ones who are here?　They're a total pain in the ass.

The silver-haired girl looks at Syrone with a troublesome look.

Syrone and the silver-haired girl glare at each other.

They had a feeling that something serious was about to happen.
