Volume 7 Chapter 3 (2/2)

“He is well-e thoughts T-T-Those strange thoughts Anyone would be better”

“But that doesn't !”

“I will tell you clearly When riding behind so boy”

The moment Louise said that, Saito's body hardened

“…W-W-Wha-what?”

While dripping in cold sweat, only by thinking, Saito said - Louise pointed her finger at Saito

“What? Jealous? Are you stupid? Whoainst? Isn’t this handsome, well-dressed priest of Ro-ainst him and is jealous? Isn't it funny? Are you stuuupid? Why don’t you drop dead?”

“Y-you…”

Saito, as if suffocating, closed and opened his mouth few ti his body up

“Better luck next ti on a secret duty, you can clean the tent meanwhile, since you ly clean And do the laundry“

Louise stuck her tongue out at Saito

Julio, who had clion, called out to Loiuse

“Ready to go, Miss Vallière”

“Hold it! I'on

“Please hold reat diplomatic problem if you were to fall!”

“You flirt!”

Louise, giving Saito a wide grin, wrapped her arly, fixed her hair

The wind dragon flapped his wings powerfully Sand and dust flew off the ground,Saito and others instinctively shut their eyes

When they opened the vividly Feeling like a fool, Saito watched the wind dragon disappear

“What’s with her?! What was that?! What an attitude!”

Saito pulled out Derflinger froer Rene and others ju him with blank surprise

“Hey Nooo, partner, I ah tiiime!”

“What was that?!”

“Souyyy…”

“Take this and that! What malicious words!”

“Snap out of iiit… Listen to me, partner Ah, well, don’t pay attention”

Extending over the wind dragon, Louise looked down at the ground The people at the tent were quickly beco small The look of blank surprise all over Saito’s face put an oversized grin on Louise’s face again Look! Such a stupid expression on his face! Whaat? Feeling jealous?

“Bleeh!” Louise stuck her tongue out towards the ground again

“Now then, where should I fly to?”

A voice coht Louise back

“W-well…” she hesitated whether to say it or not

“Where should we scout?” Julio repeated

“F-fro mission?”

“Even a child could guess that! It can’t be anything but duty! But, one thing I cannot understand!”

“What?”

“A VIP researcher of the acadeinable! Don’t familiars usually work as scouts?”

Louise was tightly holding the Founder’s Prayer Book with her left hand In order not to lose it, shedown her waist with a leather string over her

“That’s a test froical weapons are Surely all of the tests will be passed”

“To check the good and bad sides”

Louise nodded

Louise started thinking about her legendary power – she learned that it was nothing iant country and army mechanisms How much can you use it? What can you use it for? Can you use it for your own needs? The great generals also looked at me with those kind of eyes

Though it is natural, there is no point in lying to myself I am not Louise Françoise, I am a user of Void

But the twomyself with family members and classmates, because I am just a user of Void

While she was lost in such hter echoed

“W-what?“

“Ah, sorry! The City of Saxe-Gotha!”

“An ancient town I heard it is beautiful We cannot let it be destroyed by war”

This made Louise speechless and Julio turned around

“Well, I understand - there is war noever, I ahed

He gave her a char smile This made Louise’s cheeks blaze on their own

“I, I see”

Julio, still turned around, brought his face close to Louise’s

“You are truly beautiful, Miss Vallière”

Pulling away slightly, a confused Louise asked,

“B-but why is Ro? They're not our allies…”

“On our oill! Sinia If the monarchy were to be overthroould happen with the nobility in the republic? If that happens it would be a serious threat! A republic nightoverned by the Pope”

“I do not understand politics well”

“I am the same I also do not haveabout other things“

“Like?”

“Like, how can you be so beautiful, just like a fairy?”

He asked with a serious expression, Louise looked down slightly

“Don’t say silly things, look more carefully You are badly mistaken”

“Excuses According to Azuro, we are going the right way We are flying to the city of Saxe-Gotha, right?”

Louise becae In other words, his abilities were those of a coe, it would take some time to establish a connection between him and his familiar…

So how could a priest, as not even a e, communicate so ith a beast that was not a familiar? Hoas this possible?

Julio laughed at Louise’s vacant look

“The saic weapons, I can use God's miracle”

“Stop joking”

God's miracle? ItSuch power in a world where ic rules the reason of the world is impossible

“What! Yes, it's a joke! However, I know about animals more than others! Naa, Azuro!”

The wind dragon barked and started increasing his speed

Two people were flying through the sky of city of Saxe-Gotha for one hour

The toas encircled by walls, with colorful brick houses behind them The town’s population was close to 40,000 people

“Fly lower”

Julio nodded and started to fly lower They could see townspeople waving They probably mistook the to the wind dragon Azuro spread his wings and started to shake in a strange way

“What are you doing?“

“Mion’s on looks for a cohts use it to identify foe or friend”

“Your Azuro is from Albion?”

“Are you kidding? I trained him myself!”

“You're great”

Louise felt ade to train a dragon

“It is good to study enemy movements beforehand”

When Louise nodded and looked at the town scenery below She could give a report while using the ”Illusion” spell, providing vivid i this, she could create ies from her memory with the Illusion spell

The instructions to use ”Illusion” came from the staff section Louise's Void could be applied inIt was the moment when she finally realized that she was just a tool

In the town’s plaza, they noticed a big

“An orc”

“Yeah Is it ?”

Not just her iination There were just orcs, trolls and deh they could see a ht

“Using demi-humans as an army replacement is cheap stuff However… those brutal orc de the humans as well…”

“There e can make them obey”

Louise concentrated her spirit and began i the spectacle in her mind

When one used the Void ele willpower took tio… she could not turn such a huge landscape into an illusion

“Circle over the town once more”

“It erous This cover will not last forever”

Julio on dance for five minutes

“Facts and figures are needed The amount of will for the spell is insufficient, so I can do nothing but write on paper”

Louise, ignoring the danger, wrote down infor many times over the town With those notes 'Illusion' was used in order to take asLouise in such a state, Julio smiled

“There was no point for jealousy, right?”

“Eh? Eeh? What are you talking about?!”

“Without weapons it is dangerous and you orried Not for yourself… but for that faer cannot be helped It is because of duty However, I cannot be brave in rash danger Do you differ? Why oh why, are you leaving this calirl?”

“I don’t understand what you mean”

Louise said with a furious blush on her cheeks

“That flying ht? There are no other secret weapons Other than for fast flights, it's useless”

“…How do you know this?”

“I wasobard the Varsenda Being curious, I exa !”

“Curiosity killed the cat”

Julio laughed fro words

“Please be relieved! I a of any ploy to use you, unlike your generals… Now then, our time has run out”

“Not yet Wait a little”

“It's impossible”

“It's an order!”

“It's an enemy”

Julio pointed with his chin Nine wind dragons were flying directly at them

Louise was stupefied

“Escape!”

“…nnh, impossible I've become too addicted to this chat!“

S, Julio muttered The eneet away even when flying at one's best

Staring at the closing wind dragons, Louise treenerals,about the possibility of death in terror

She shook her head, trying to shake off such fears… Somehow… she needed to counterattack with Void But how many explosions could be shot? Her willpoas low The scale would be sh?

While she was thinking that, the instructions came from Julio

“Louise, are you good at horseback riding?”

Though she was suddenly called by her first naht time to complain about it She nodded with a suspicious expression on her face

“Y-yeah…I am”

“Hold on tight then! As if you were juallop! Azuro!“

The wind dragon let out a s towards the enemy

“Hey! Hey! Don’t go there! You can’t use ic!”

Julio thrust straight into the eneht formation Louise screamed,

“Hey! Ah! Magic spell! Nooooo!”

All nine dragon knights shot spells one after another shi+ning blades and fireballs fleards theic too, Julio shouted at her

“Don’t let go!”

When the on suddenly pulled an unexpected movement It twisted it’s body and suddenly shot up in the air, avoiding spells one after another

Unbelievable A wind dragon was inable for such a body It waseven their enemies For a moment, their speed decreased

“Breath! Azuro!”

A big breath of fire escaped the wind dragon'shim crash down

Then, passing through the other, it used its nails to tear up another dragon's wings Another one headed down

Dumbfounded, Louise stared at the spectacle

How can a wind dragon release such a big breath?! Unbelievable!

The rehts, whose number had decreased to seven, turned around and headed back at them

It was as one would expect frohts

Though for a on'sinto two lines, they flinchingly moved forwards

They started for a circle around them

It see paths carefully, planning to kill them

In a movement that could be called casual, Julio's Azuro entered the circle The ene a considerable distance

But once Azuro turned a head towards that enemy, another one flew from the back It appeared like the one in front was just a decoy

“Behind you! Behind you!”

Though Louise screa after the decoy

The ene that Julio's attention was surely focused on the decoy, started closing in steadily

At the same time, when the enemy fro the ene the attack with a wild somersault, Azuro spewed another breath

Wrapped up in the breath, the attacking dragon knight fell down

Shocked, Louise stared at the sudden development

The on were unbelievably vivid, withoutany unnecessary movements

“H-how can you on move like that?!”

“Don’t talk, or you’ll bite your tongue”

Julio’s tone of voice remained perfectly composed

With three of theed Louise ducked her head, feeling the bursting anger The encirclehts, at once, plunged at them

For a moment, Louise rocked up and down, side to side Her body felt like a ball in the hands of juggler Forgetting to keep her eyes open she closed the to Julio

Every tis and claws to the opponent‘s wind dragons To avoid the enemy‘s attacks, he himself attacked

In only four seconds, six of them were beaten and fell down

“It has ended Let's return then”

Julio said in a nonchalant voice

“Wh-what happened?”

The wind dragon together with rider, were a single movement

No, it was beyond any explanation, the movements of the unbelievable Azuro,

“I just brought out the true ability of the dragon Everyone else’s dragons weretoo many useless movements That’s all”

Julio said casually And Louise understood… why he, not being a e, had become the commander of the third squadron
