Chapter Seven: Dragon's Raiment[]
Saito’s eyes went round at the sight of the “Dragon’s Raiment” They were in the temple built close to Tarbes, Siesta’s hoon’s Raiment” lay Actually it would be more correct to say that the teon’s Rairandfather had built the teic The temple was built in the corner of a field Its door was ether, and its walls were made from planks and mortar instead of stone On top of an area of the wooden floor that was painted dark green, lay the Dragon’s Raiment Perhaps it was due to the per It was as if it had just been made
Kirche and Guiche looked at the Dragon’s Raiment, dispirited As if struck by curiosity, Tabitha looked at it with interest Aon’s Raiment
“Saito, are you ok? If I showed you anything to make you feel bad…” said Siesta in a worried voice
Saito didn’t reply He continued to gaze at the Dragon’s Raih he were deeply moved
“Of course this thing can’t fly,” said Kirche
Guiche nodded
“This is sos, they can't evenNot to ons are the size of these wings Dragons and wyverns can only fly because they can flap their wings So on’s Raiment’”
Guiche pointed at the Dragon’s Raiht
“Saito… Are you really alright?”
Saito grasped Siesta’s shoulders as she was peering into his face Saito spoke feverishly
“Siesta”
“Y-Yes?”
“Did your grandfather leave behind anything else?”
“Urave and a few of his belongings”
“Show them to me”
The grave of Siesta’s grandfather was located in the village cee white stones A the a clear contrast with the others
Words were inscribed on the tombstone
“My grandfather e from a different country, so no one has been able to read it I wonder what it says…” said Siesta
Saito read it out loud
“Navy ensign Sasaki Takeo, rests in another world”
“What?”
Siesta’s eyes widened at Saito, who read it fluently
Saito looked at Siesta feverishly, causing her to blush
“Stop… If you look at me like that…”
Black hair, black pupils… This nostalgic feeling… So that’s why, Saito thought, realizing why he was feeling nostalgic
“Siesta, you were told that your hair and eyes were siht?” Said Saito much to Siesta’s surprise
“Y-Yes! How did you know that?”
Returning to the teon’s Raiment” When he did, the runes on the back of his left hand started to shi+ne I see, so this ht as he looked at the s As the runes shone, the construction and the controls of the ”Dragon's Raiment” caht
Saito found the fuel tank and opened it Just as he expected, it was empty No matter hoell it was preserved, it still couldn’t fly without gasoline I wonder how he had wandered into Halkeginia with this plane… Saito wanted to trace the trail, no matter what answer it would lead to
Siesta returned from her parent’s home
“Everyone was really surprised since I’m teeks earlier than I said I would be”
Siesta excitedly handed over the iteles, probably the ones her grandfather wore as a navy ensign He was like the owner of the staff of destruction which Saito had used to defeat Fouquet’s golener, like Saito
“Grandfather only left this behind He didn’t keep a diary or anything like that But father said he left behind a will”
“A will?”
“Yes ‘If soive hion’s Raiment’”
“Meaning it’s mine now?”
“Yes Father said it was alright to give it to you It was a bother to take care of anyway… It’s big and there are so dust in this village”
“Well, I won’t hesitate then,” said Saito
“Father also wanted ”
“What did he say?”
“He said he wants you to return the Dragon’s Rai he randfather is from…”
“He’s from my country,” said Saito
“Really? So that’s why you could read the words on the torandfather was from the same country as Saito It seems like fate” Siesta said absentmindedly
“Then grandfather really did coon’s Raiment”
“This isn’t called the Dragon’s Raiment”
“What is it called in Saito’s country?”
Looking at the “Dragon’s Raiether when he was son's Raiment”? Perhaps it was just easier to understand that way The same way it ith the “staff of destruction”
