Christmas (4)

I hate to admit it, but Russell was wise.

It was an excellent choice to run away without looking back as soon as he saw the dean.

Even if only one person joined. The line, which had been at risk just a little while ago, was completely stabilized.

The dean, who was hoarding his strength while others were consumed, scrambled across the battlefield, crushing his enemies.

Could a human life be so light?

It is so overwhelming that I even thought about it, who had struggled a while ago.

“Hey, how can a single human…”

“Everyone behind me!”

As the number of allies rapidly decreased, the demon knight with a large shield came forward and shouted.

He is a guy who can withstand even the fist of a rock giant.

However, when the dean’s body shakes once, the entire shield is crushed.

Only then did they drool as if they realized the true nature of the attack.

“Is that… twisting the whole space?”

“Movement spells have been modified for attack.”

Even a high-ranking Summoner would find it difficult to twist the space from a distance, so it looks like it has been merged with a mobile device.

Every time the magical light flashes, the entire space between the starting point and the ending point is warped.

A technique that combines summoning and classical magic.

“Hold on a little longer! A complex spell like that consumes a lot of mana…”

Like the demons, the leader of the rebels, who noticed the identity of the technology, encouraged his colleagues, but the dean snorted and returned to our camp.

Soon, a portal opened behind him, and the magical energy he had stored in advance poured out.

“If it’s my level, the amount of magic power doesn’t mean much.”

“Okay…”

It seems that he has always stocked up his magical powers in his own dimension.

They tried to contain the dean intensively, but it was difficult to deal with because they attack and move at the same time.

I don’t know if he was in a good state at the beginning of the battle. It’s too late to write my hand now.

In addition, from the rear of the ranks, Letty, who has transformed into a supporter-type pet, is constantly spraying reinforcement effects.

It is different from general reinforcement because it can reproduce skills that can only be used by specific summoned animals.

Reinforcement that reinforces attack power, defense, speed, and even magical abilities.

When all of the skills are turned, the A-rank pet will display the power of the S-rank level.

Of course, it’s still too early to be vigilant.

If they were simply looking for me, there were better timings and places out there.

If you think that these guys have invaded after returning to the Earl of Elcloud, it’s terrifying.

But so that my worries like that go away.

They hurriedly prepared to withdraw.

“Captain! When will they…”

“We’re being pushed back, will you come? Damn it, get ready to pull out!”

“Are you tired of losing?”

As Persia, who raised her tail in front of me, smirked, the cuts above her eyes frowned.

But now it’s useless to say goodbye.

Even the demons who were maintaining the front line, however, withdrew with atrocities.

The dean, who was sending them back with a repatriation trick, blinked his eyes.

“I don’t know when I’m coming, but when I’m going…”

“Ah!”

As the dean’s new model passed the enemy camp, the portal that he had been desperately squeezing out completely collapsed.

The space itself is warped, so there is no way to use your hands.

Eventually, when they try to escape on foot, the dimension watchdog reveals itself.

The Demon King, who judged that the battle was over, suddenly disappeared without a sound.

“Stop everyone! If you do not comply with the arrest, I will shoot you!”

“The plague. Caught and died, but escaped and died…”

“You can’t get caught twice!”

The rebels do not stop even for a moment despite a rather brutal warning.

Medusha released her fury by petrifying only the legs of those fleeing.

After the arrest, the commander of the guard approaches, and Michael gives him a straight answer.

It was the man I saw at the hearing.

“Thank you for always coming early. Thanks to you, I was able to protect the academy.”

“The dispatch was late due to the capital defense operation. I’m sorry.”

The watchman with his head bowed slightly.

Medusha did not leave him like that.

“Are you sure that Eshas takes care of the battle anyway?”

“Medusha.”

I hurriedly covered her mouth and stepped back.

The dimensional watchdog must have been busy dealing with rocks falling from the battle.

When it comes to Eshas, the aftermath of the battle is no joke.

The dimensional watchdog looked like they wanted to interrogate everyone as it was, but we hurriedly left the place before we were deeply entangled.

I’m a little worried about showing the demon king this time, but…

After all, it won’t matter much because he’s obtained Eshas’ acquiescence anyway.

‘But what about the professors?’

As I was thinking about it late, one of the professors in question jumped in front of me.

For some reason, the cat, which had been scattering radiation until a while ago, welcomes it and rubs it.

“Hey, El Cloud. You say you’re building a castle on your estate? Can I go play?”

“Where is this stray cat…”

Ersa, who had just narrowed the distance, pushed Eolin away, but Professor Cat persisted.

It seems that winter in the capital is not very warm.

The Count of El Cloud is relatively south, so things are a little better.

“But even in my neighborhood, when it snows outside, we can’t do anything…”

“If it snows outside, of course you should roll around in a warm house. Perfect! I want to go too. Is that okay?”

Eolin spins around me thinking about spending a warm and full winter in the newly built Yeongju Castle.

Ersa also tried to follow, but was thwarted by a shout from behind.

“Professor Ersa. Here’s an injured person!”

“Just go to the hospital! El Cloud. Can I go a little late?”

“What if you don’t have a job during winter break…”

I couldn’t afford to refuse their request.

In fact, it’s not like they got caught up in a fight because of me.

no. It’s not just them.

Returning to the villa as it was, I naturally encountered Christine and Maria.

The two of them didn’t know about the Demon King, so they looked very confused.

“Hey, Louise. The demonic summons were targeting you earlier, right?

“Ah, that’s…”

Christine struggles to speak out in an atmosphere of awkwardness.

Another Westwall article came to mind and he hesitated to answer.

Suddenly, Maria shook her head.

“Hey, if it’s hard to explain, you can delay it. Everyone must be tired, so let’s rest.”

“What? Maria. But…”

When Christine protests, Maria gives a rare stern look.

The quick-witted woman must have noticed roughly how things were going.

As I was about to confess the truth, thinking I could not delay it any longer, the handmaiden who suddenly interrupted me stopped it with a brief applause.

“Mary-sama is right. It’s already late, so it’s good to rest. If you have any injuries, please tell me.”

“…”

In the end, I had no choice but to leave with a sense of uneasiness.

Even though it was winter, he took off his sweaty clothes, washed himself, and then went to the bedroom.

Persia, who took on a humanoid for a while, was talking to relieve my mood, but I picked the wrong topic.

“Master. But why did they have to work in the capital earlier?”

“Persia. Don’t talk nonsense and put out your tail.”

Seeing my face harden, Medusha dried him.

Medusha has a rough personality, but she’s pretty quick to notice.

Perhaps she was also aware of the situation.

It was Persia who tried to return to the form of a fox, crying at the familiar rebuke, but…

I dried such a guy and laid his fluffy tail as a pillow on the bed.

Persia’s tail, which took on a humanoid form, became much larger and more beautiful than when it was a fox.

Normally, it only serves as a scarf, but now it can also be used as a pillow and duvet.

“Ah! There must be a lot of hair…”

While saying that, Persia meekly gave out her tail, and while trying to lick my face habitually, she was hit with Medusha’s honey chestnut.

It seems that Laurie, who usually showed a desire for monopoly, read the atmosphere. for some reason it’s quiet

Of course, the grateful silence lasted just until midnight.

Eventually, when the clock shows midnight, Ethel, who has regained her body, rolls sideways and goes down the bed.

“Okay. I’ll come wearing the present you gave me, so wait!”

“It’s like this ignorant spirit.”

“No. I picked that one, but it’s not like Laurier wears it first. Isn’t it?”

Thanks to Ethel’s loud consolation, I spent the night and the next morning.

There is still some time left until the completion of the Yeongju Castle… but we decided to go home first.

If you stay in the capital, you may get into trouble again, and it is not easy to completely hand over the move to the vassals.

However, we hurriedly packed our bags and headed to the train station, but had to come back because of an unexpected guest.

A dedicated march that is slowly getting used to.

Then, as the familiar introduction resounded, Eshas, who had fought a fierce battle last night, hurriedly walked into someone else’s villa.

“The ruler of the kingdom of Dracor! The first and last white dragon! The Golden Lord…”

“Didn’t the owner of gold tell you to take it out? Oh, that’s right. I just stopped by because I had something to see for a while.”

Having dried off her hurriedly ceremonial appearance, she moved to the drawing room after being bitten by the servants who supported her long hair.

Did you come here because you used the power of the Demon King?

As I had such anxiety, Baekryong denied the allegations at once.

“Elena. Come back to me.”

“… yes, yes?”

It was a short remark, but the reaction was not light.

When do you leave without a proper explanation, and why do you suddenly have to come back?

Elena, who had such thoughts on the surface, quickly noticed the flow of the story.

Eshas, who was appreciating her expression, suddenly let out a deep sigh.

“I wanted to entrust you with a more heavy duty, but unfortunately, there is no good heir besides you. Even if you lack the ability, you will join hands with the rebels.”

“Kek…”

Only then did Persia realize what was going on and let out a suffocating sound next to her.

I bit my tongue hard and cleared my desire to say something.

There was a situation where Russell and other rebels allied with the royal family, but…

hopefully that was true

Perhaps he got the evidence from the prisoners he caught yesterday.

Perhaps the reason the rebels dared to work in the capital was because they were allied with them.

Eshas, who paused for a while for our reasoning, continues the story with a dissatisfied expression.

“It’s a sin to be ambitious on a subject that you don’t have the ability to be ambitious about. Edwin is all right, but he couldn’t help but raise his children. Elena. You must be the next king.”

“That, that…”

Elena does not know what to do with an unexpected opportunity.

Eshas greeted me as if he had already heard her answer.

“Earl of El Cloud. Thank you for taking care of Elena until now. Then we will…”

“Come on, wait a minute!”

We froze at the hurried voice.

An unprecedented situation that cuts off the kingdom’s guardian dragon in the middle.

When Eshas, who was involved, also turned his face with a bewildered expression, Elena squeezed all the courage inside her body and said.

“I will not return to the palace.”

“what?”

It was as if I had never dreamed of such a reaction. Eshas stutters heavily.

I wasn’t so surprised when the floating city appeared last night.

The astonishment that filled White Dragon’s face soon turned into anger.

“Are you… going to disobey my orders?”

I was taken aback by Eshas’s words, which made me angry with the red flag.

When is she going to get Elena out of her side, and she comes out like this because she needs it later.

Eshas’ actions showed a calmness as if he was recovering the things he had left for a while.

That arrogant attitude must have moved Elena.

No wonder she wants to get away from Esshas’ parrot role.

I stepped forward in fear that Essha might harm her.

“I will protect Her Majesty Elena for the time being. There may still be spies in the palace…”

“I’ve dealt with all those stupid traitors! Who dare you to discuss the safety of the royal family before?”

The vertically torn pupil moved toward me.

As I recalled the attempted assassination of Elena, I was instantly furious.

“Then, who were the guys I fought at Elena’s coming-of-age ceremony? Did Eshas play a joke?”

“What?”

Beaten by the sharp truth, Eshas lost his voice for a long time.

I honestly have nothing to say.

When I saw her reaction, it felt like the blood all over her body was frozen, but now I can’t turn it back.

As I was belatedly worried, the maid quietly got up from her seat.

Even the demon king who has settled in his heart is ready to run away at any time.

Eshas put me and Elena in sight and widened their eyes as if quietly appreciating them.

The moment when even time seems to have frozen passed. She finally regained her voice and nodded very slowly.

“You were doing a better job than I expected. It’s good. It’s been like this, I’m telling Edwin to have a few more babies. There’s still time…”

Everyone’s expressions brightened at the words of allowing Elena to choose.

Persia, who wiped her chest from the seat next to me, adds useless sentiments as she always did.

“Master. I think I can see why the other royals sided with the rebels! The king, whatever, just a stallion…”

“Please shut up.”

“yes.”

I hurriedly shut Persia’s mouth and saw Eshas off, and I was only able to board the train at lunchtime.

Elena, who for some reason gave up the seat opposite me, smiles softly in the carriage that has left the capital.

The brightest face I’ve ever seen.

Medusha, who was muttering for nothing, squeezed Persia hard.

A small, regular swaying train heading home.

Lying down next to Elena, yawning Eolin moved her seat onto my lap and fell asleep.
