I Became a Crazy Swordsmanship Instructor in the Game

* * *

“The scenery is nice. Isn’t it?”

Philip walked through Elpenia Forest with Privia.

Sunlight came through the thick leaves and tickled my cheeks, and the wind blew pleasantly.

“Anyway, what kind of spirit stone is this all of a sudden? What are you going to use it for?”

Philip answered Privia’s question with a grin.

“I want to give it to my sister. There’s nothing better than a spirit stone to get close to a spirit. There are also some things I need to get from this forest.”

Freevia glared at Philip with a suspicious look.

“I can’t understand you. What do you know so much about the subject of a kid who only lived a little more than 20 years? It would have been impossible to drive out that divine beast earlier unless you were completely aware of the existence of a divine beast.”

“Actually, that doesn’t matter, does it?”

“no. It is important. You know too much for a human being. The way you handle magic has a corner that even I, a dragon, can’t understand. That cannot be explained by the fact that you are a genius.”

“… It is.”

There was no way that someone like her wouldn’t know that Philip was weird. If she wanted to dig in, she could have, but she chose to pretend she didn’t know.

“Let’s move first. There are many things to find. With Freevia-sama here, it looks like it will be over sooner than I thought.”

Philip started to walk first, and Privia followed him as if to see what he was about to do.

Philip soon arrived at the griffon’s habitat on the outskirts of Elpenia Forest.

‘Originally, it’s a place where you have to hide so you don’t get noticed by the griffons, but there’s a dragon so there won’t be any attack.’

“Why are you here?”

The owners of sensitive senses, Griffons, recognized Privia’s energy early on and were staring at the ground like mild sparrows.

Originally, it was a powerful creature with the body of a lion, the head of an eagle, and large wings, but in front of the dragon, the most powerful creature under the sky, it was nothing more than a flying insect.

“Ki-ing… .”

Among them, one of the griffons who met Privia’s eyes trembled and peed.

“I’m sorry I came to you so suddenly, but let’s go find something. huh?”

Griffins with high intelligence did not attack people. In addition, the individuals living in the Elpenia Forest are omnivores, so they were usually docile and ate things like fruit from trees or beehives.

Since I was friends with the elves, it was like I scared them for nothing.

Philip climbed the hill past several griffon nests. His target was the nest of the royal griffon ‘Deffle’, the chief of this griffon habitat.

“This guy looks kind of cute.”

A griffon several times faster and stronger than a normal griffon, ‘Deffle’ enthusiastically entertained guests who came to his nest.

Despite being larger than a lion, he quickly rolled on the ground as Privia approached and showed her his stomach. As with any animal, it was a sign of submission.

“… You say you look cute?”

Philip tilted his head and searched his nest.

“okay. By the way, what are you looking for here? They say you have a habit of asking Gryphon for things you like, but I don’t think you need anything.”

The feathers that Dapple picked out, the shells of eggs that he might have collected as a souvenir after peeling off the chicks, and the leftover apples were in his hands, and as soon as he picked them up, several bright red berries that looked like cherries appeared.

Gryphon Dapple, who had been watching Philip take what he took, let out a sigh of relief.

“I’ll only take this, okay?”

Griffon, who was highly intelligent, could understand human speech to some extent. As the Royal Griffon nodded, Philip turned to Privia.

“Let’s go somewhere else now.”

“Where are you planning to go, and what is that?”

“I’m going to the fairy fountain. This… … You could call it a tonic. Maybe that friend also ate this wrong and stayed up all night.”

Freevia narrowed her eyes.

“… tonic? You bastard, you’re trying to ruin that merchant girl.”

“yes? no!”

Philip exclaimed, upset. However, not even the seeds were eaten by Freevia.

“If not him, who are you? You’re not the type to be seduced by your looks, so you’re not going to be the first elf I met today, and you’re probably not the type to target a married woman, so you’re not even that swordswoman… .”

“Oh, I’m not going to use it in that kind of place.”

As Philip raised his hands as if he was unfair, there was a kick and a mocking sound from somewhere. The protagonist of the sound was none other than Gryphon Defle.

“Smile?”

As Philip glared at him, the griffon turned his head away and looked away. Philip had no intention of taking his anger out on Griffon, so Philip could only sigh.

Gryphon Daple took me to the Fairy’s Fountain. Bigger than a bull, its back had enough room for Philip and Privia to ride.

“Look over there. It’s a griffon!”

“Who got off? But I am not an elf.”

The ‘Fairy Spring’ was a place that could be called a home for hundreds of fairies flying around Elpenia Forest. Most of them were small fairies the size of a palm, and there was only one big fairy.

As Philip and Privia approached the spring, the fairy, the owner of the fountain, hurriedly formed a body and appeared in front of them.

“… What’s going on with dragons and humans here? This is where the little fairies live. If you stopped by by chance, please go home.”

At the wary fairy’s attitude, Philip spread his palms out as if not to worry.

“I was just looking for something for a while. I don’t mean any harm, so don’t worry.”

The fairy looked at Philip with suspicious eyes, then glanced sideways at Privia. Dragons and humans came together, but it was strange for humans to step up and speak.

“What are you looking for?”

“I want to collect the nectar of a flower that grows near a fairy’s spring, is sky blue, and has six petals.”

Hearing the information Philip said, the fairy tilted her head.

“Fettura flower nectar? Will you go back once you find it?”

As she spoke, little fairies lost their curiosity and flew towards Philip and Privia, burrowing into their clothes or grabbing their hair.

Philip smiled and let the fairies do what they wanted, and Privia frowned a little, but didn’t kick or drive the little fairies away.

“These little things don’t know how scary dragons are.”

As Privia muttered, the fairies flew around her laughing.

“Your sister is a dragon? But what is a dragon?”

“This older sister is a dragon!”

The big fairy’s face turned white like porcelain.

“Hey, guys, don’t do that!”

As if feeling the limit of her patience, Privia closed her eyes tightly and instructed with a sigh.

“If you can’t dry it, bring me the honey from the fetura flower or something. You’re starting to get annoyed.”

“Ah, I get it. Please wait.”

The big fairy disappeared in an instant, and after drinking only a glass of water, she came back in a cold sweat.

“Hee, Hee. Here, here it is.”

More than ten fetura flowers were tucked into the soft piece of cloth. Philip accepted it and bowed his head in gratitude.

“thank you. Let’s go now. Freevia.”

“So then… Ha, I followed you while avoiding the little girls.”

In fact, she had been following Philip, avoiding Lua and Janice, who had been bothering her.

With the Fettura flower in his bosom, Philip escaped the fairy fountain.

“What are you planning to use them for?”

If it was hard to hold back her curiosity, Privia asked Philip directly. The things Philip collected were plants that even dragons didn’t know about.

“I don’t think Privia-sama doesn’t know about these either?”

Privia grumbled, twisting her eyes as if her pride had been scratched a little.

“Just because I am, I don’t know everything in the world.”

Philip nodded. If she knew everything about the world, there was no way she would be messing around with a human body right now.

“Do you know what the best cure for Pribia is?”

When Philip asked back, Pribia answered right away as if asking something obvious.

“You mean Elixir?”

“Usually you know that. Then, do you know the recipe for the elixir?”

“… I do not know.”

The elixir was a legendary medicine that even revived corpses that had not long since died.

As far as Philip knew, there was only one country in the world that had the potion, and even if the king’s life was in danger, it was not used.

‘I know that the Church of Ellaha has one.’

Ordinary people knew that dragons make elixirs, but the reality was different. The recipe for the elixir had already been lost in ancient times, so even dragons had no way of knowing it.

Besides, since the elixir is usually sealed deep inside ancient ruins, it was a long process for a dragon to find it unless they made up their mind to find it.

As Philip smiled strangely, Privia looked at Philip with suspicious eyes.

“… Surely this isn’t an ingredient for an elixir? If you’re trying to make fun of me, I won’t let you go.”

“Why not? This is the right ingredient for the elixir. These are things that can only be obtained here in Elpenia Forest. It is for these reasons that I have come all the way here. To be honest, I was able to get at least the leaves of the World Tree somehow.”

“What is it? Let’s say it’s an elixir ingredient. But why do you need an elixir? Are there people with fatal diseases? It’s not something you need when you’re young and healthy.”

Philip looked straight at Privia. Feeling a strange power in that gaze, Privia twitched her eyebrows.

“The reason is simple. It’s because if it’s not a cure like an elixir, it won’t work on dragons.”

When Philip finished speaking, Privia’s expression changed.

She didn’t know it, but she had never made such a face in her thousands of years of life.

From noble mtl dot com

Consternation, shock, and anger.

Overwhelmed by the mixture of all of that, Privia raised her hand.

Phillip felt the magic enveloping his body, but he did not resist. Soon, a ring created by Privia’s magic encircled Philip’s neck and began to compress it.

“… you guys Speak straight. What do you know?”

There was sincerity in Freevia’s eyes. Phillip realized that if he got caught, he could indeed be killed by her, but he wasn’t too worried.

“Ugh… What, stars… it’s not Calm down for a moment. You have to make it easier for me to speak. .”

Privia glared at Philip with a fearful expression.

“It’s not a situation where I can tolerate you slacking off. I need to know what you know.”

“what… Not a big deal. That Privia-sama isn’t her body right now, and that her body isn’t normal?”

Freevia moved her hand. Then Philip’s body rose high and then slammed hard into the floor.

“Huh!”

Philip screamed in pain.

“How do you guys know that?”

The information about the main body was a secret that Privia had to hide even from the same dragon. It was unacceptable for Phillip, who was only human, to know that.

Philip cried out as if he was unfair, bleeding from the corners of his mouth.

“Dragon words! I heard the word and knew it. Originally, it was a language I couldn’t hear, so why did I hear it? Isn’t it because Privia-sama is not able to fully use dragon words? And now, that body, isn’t it the body that was originally made of dragon soldiers? Did you think you wouldn’t be noticed when you were next to me like that?”

“… what?”

At that, Privia was startled and broke the spell she had cast on Philip. Having regained his freedom, Philip coughed up dead blood.

“… Now, Kellogg, are you curious?”

It wasn’t that Philip knew anything.

Philip was just quick to notice.

Realizing that she had been wrong for a long time, cold sweat began to flow on her forehead.
