Chapter 334: The Newbie Master Can Be Relieved
Shien obviously had no way of knowing about the things that happened elsewhere.
At this moment, Shien was still riding on Yulin along with the girls with him, currently flying in midair toward the direction of Cosmos.
He didn’t need to know the exact locations of Cosmos either. He just needed to know that it’s over in the north, so he just had Yulin fly north.
Since he knows the general direction, it wouldn’t be too hard to locate a city from high up in the air on Yulin.
There’s also the fact that Shien has the [Magic Detection] skill. Any location that is a gathering of a great quantity of magic energy sources are basically human cities, so here’s no need to worry about not being able to find their target, and they can simply fly north without much thought.
Of course, Shien not having detected anything doesn’t mean that no one else detected anything either.
Beatrice, who Lasha pulled into her lap, had raised her gaze at that moment. She returned to normal and returned her gaze back onto Shien afterwards though.
Since setting out from Jiltry, Beatrice’s gaze was locked onto Shien just like that the entire time. No one knew why though.
Lasha seemed to have noticed this, but she didn’t do anything about it either. She just continued to calmly and peacefully hold onto Beatrice.
As for Airi, she stopped nodding off and opened her eyes.
“Hmph.”
“What is it?”
Shien heard Airi’s humph and looked at her with a questioning gaze.
“It’s nothing.” Airi spoke without showing any emotion, “It’s just someone who doesn’t know their place doing something.”
“Someone who doesn’t know their place?” Shien didn’t understand what Airi meant and spoke with some dissatisfaction, “Can’t you speak a bit clearer? I seriously hate you big shots acting all vague and knowing just to scare us n00bs.”
Airi rolled her eyes at that.
Although she didn’t know exactly what a n00b is, Airi did know that it’s definitely not something that has any relation with Shien.
Thus, Airi didn’t want to bother explaining it at all.
“Don’t mind those insignificant matters. Just hurry up and dig out those Old Demon Faction pieces of shits and butcher them already. Then we can go back and have a nice nap.”
Airi looked annoyed. She obviously didn’t want to spend too much time on other matters.
“You’re a super cute li- beautiful lady, so can you not talk about killing all the time?”
Shien originally wanted to say “super cute little girl”, but then Airi glared at him, so he immediately changed his wording.
“Then what should I be saying?”
Airi looked annoyed with him.
Yet, Shien gave the following reply.
“Of course, what you should have said instead was to quickly pull all those cockroaches that only knows how to hid in the sewers out and then stomp them to death. Then we can go back and have a nice nap.”
Shien proper tone as he said that completely burst Airi’s bubble of anger.
“… Isn’t your way of putting it even more extreme?”
Airi had no words.
“What?” Shien instead objected, “For girls, they should let out a scream or two when they see a cockroach and then grab a slipper to smash them to death. That’s only normal. Stuff like rip apart or butcher aren’t words that girls should be using.”
Fine, your logic is impeccable.
Either way, Airi doesn’t want to debate this anymore.
“I’m going to sleep. Wake me when we’ve arrived.”
Airi thus lied down right on the dragon’s back, hugged her pillow to her, and got ready to go to sleep.
“You seriously got guts. To sleep on a dragon’s back.”
This time, Shien’s the one speechless.
To try to sleep at such a high altitude and while the mount is currently flying at high speeds at that. The chances of falling off are basically 100% here.
Although Yulin did use her magic power as a shield against the air, which made it so that the fierce wind during her flight won’t end up hitting her back, as well as the fact that she’s flying quite stably, this still isn’t a proper place to sleep.
Anyone else would definitely not dare to so something so suicidal.
Airi likely dared because she really was confident that she wouldn’t fall off the dragon’s back. It’s either that or the fact that she’d be completely fine even if she did fall off.
“Seriously.”
Shien resignedly reached out his hand and pulled Airi into his lap, allowing this little girl to sleep against him.
Airi opened her eyes, gave Shien a glance, and immediately shut her eyes against. She didn’t seem to dislike this.
No, rather, from the fact that the little girl in question had completely relaxed her body, it’s obvious she was instead actually quite satisfied with Shien’s action, right?
“Damned tsundere…”
Shien muttered those words in his head, but he didn’t dare to push things any further.
Otherwise, his own chances of getting tossed off the dragon’s back would also end up being 100%.
Just as Shien was thinking that, suddenly, another small figure also dove into his lap.
“Beatrice?”
Shien looked down in his lap with surprise.
Beatrice had dived right in for some unknown reason. She rubbed against Shien chest a few times before then closing her eyes and falling deeply asleep just like Airi.
Airi seemed to have noticed as well. Her pretty brows bunched up in a frown as if dissatisfied. However, she also seemed to have found it too troublesome to bother with, so she didn’t say anything and just continued to sleep peacefully.
“Seriously…”
Looking at the two little girls currently lying in his lap, Shien could only show a difficult smile as he looked over to Lasha beside him.
Lasha did not react much the entire time. She was still completely the same even when Beatrice suddenly struggled out of her grasp and ran over to dive into Shien’s lap.
However, when she noticed Shien’s gaze, Lasha did calmly say one thing.
“You already have two in your lap.”
Those words made Shien twitch.
Likely, only Shien would know the real meaning behind those words.
After all, just now, the thought that popped up in Shien’s mind was – [Should I give Lasha a hug too?]
Even when his lap was already filled up by two warm and soft little girls, Shien still would have preferred to instead hug this beautiful and well figured maid.
Who would have thought that Lasha would kill this ambition with a single sentence before it could even take root.
“… Are you really not able to read minds?”
“I do not have that kind of skill.”
“Then how did you know what I was thinking?”
“That is a meaningless question. Only one who an understand what her master wants at any time can be a proper maid.”
“…”
Alright, I shouldn’t asked that question.
Yeah, the big sis is as mighty as always. The newbie master can be relived.
…
At the same time, in a nameless graveyard within Jiltry, the group of beastmen had finally managed to heal their holy maiden back up.
“Cough, cough…!”
After the holy maiden got a bottle of high grade potion poured down her throat, she seemed to have recovered quite a bit. She was still coughing and her face was still somewhat pale though.
“Alright, I’m fine now. There’s no need to waste any more valuable potions.”
When she saw that the beastmen were still planing on pulling out more potions, the foxgirl holy maiden waved her hand and stopped them.
This was despite the fact that she was still somewhat weak. After all, beastmen aren’t like humans, and their development when it comes to potions aren’t nearly at the same level. They lacked the dexterity that humans and elves have, nor did they have the great intelligence required for the work. Thus, for them, every single bottle of potion was extremely valuable for them, all of them needing to be used conservatively and carefully preserved.
“Are you really fine? Holy maiden?”
The catgirl was still somewhat worried, and the beastmen around her were no different. The wolfman was even looking anxious to the point where it looked like he was about to start biting.
“I really am fine now.” The foxgirl holy maiden shook her head as she bit her lips, “Rather than that, I must first tell you something. This incident may very well be far more troublesome than we had thought, to a dangerous degree.”
When they heard those words, the beastmen stopped for a moment.
In response, the foxgirl holy maiden told everyone what she just saw from her [Prayer].
And when they heard the foxgirl holy maiden’s words, the beastmen were indeed shocked.
“They actually resisted the power of [Prayer]?”
“And there are even super scary people around the target?”
“Dragon?”
“How could there be a dragon?”
The beastmen realized that things seemed to have gone beyond their control, and a couple of them had even started panicking somewhat.
Even the wolfman was shocked.
Although he didn’t know just what kind of person this “very scary person” that the foxgirl holy maiden spoke of was, or just how scary that person really is, but just the existence of a dragon was already more than enough to strike fear into his heart.
After all, dragons are the strongest demonic beasts. Even the beastmen, who are born with powerful bodies and senses are but ants before a dragon. There was no way that they could be a match for it when it comes to power.
Although the wolfman was quite confident in his own strength, to the point where he even believes that there’s none among the humans who can surpass him in strength. However even so, he’s not quite delusional enough to think that he could compare to a dragon.
Yet, this dragon seems to have been tamed by that “very scary person”. That was enough to show just how scary that person is.
The catgirl’s heart sank also sank, but she also remembered something.
“Speaking of, when we came to Jiltry, I seemed to have heard some news about that.” The catgirl spoke thoughtfully, “Supposedly, a viscount who tamed a dragon had come here from the Capital.”
“A viscount from the Capital?” The foxgirl holy maiden immediately turned to the catgirl and hurriedly asked, “Do you know who it is?”
“It seems to be an adventurer who had only recently been bestowed with the viscount rank.” The catgirl tried to remember with all her might. In the end, she finally manged to dig out the relevant information from her memories, and her eyes flashed as she spoke, “He had destroyed one of the branches of the Old Demon Faction and even revealed a group of nobles from the Capital who were working with another branch of the Old Demon Faction. That was why he was directly granted a viscount rank. Plus, he had not only tamed a dragon, he also seemed to have a lot of connections with the Treasure of the Kingdom.”
When she brought up the phrase “Treasure of the Kingdom”, the catgirl’s eyes unconsciously showed a hint of respect.
It was the same with the other beastmen as well. They all more or less showed some expression of respect on their faces.
The Treasure of the Kingdom. The Hero of the modern age. This princess’s name had long since been famous even among the beastmen race. Adding in the fact of her special status, connections to the gods, the fact that she is deeply beloved by the gods, and even gained the blessing of one of the Three Great Goddesses, it’s only natural that they would fear and respect Lucy.
The foxgirl holy maiden on the other hand frowned.
“A noble with close connections to the Treasure of the Kingdom.”
That wasn’t good news for them.
It was because they’re currently near the Ragna Empire, and the Ragna Empire also had a friend of the foxgirl holy maiden who had also come to this territory. It was because she was also investigating the recent strange incidents within this territory.
And said friend did not get along with that Treasure of the Kingdom at all.
That noble had her group’s target with him, so his chances of encountering her friend were quite high.
When that happens, sparks were sure to fly, and at that point, the mastermind behind it or the Old Demon Faction terrorists may get a chance that they’d take advantage of.
“No, I have to hurry over there.”
The foxgirl holy maiden made her decision.
As for where she needs to go, the foxgirl holy maiden knew that as well.
“That dragon was flying toward the north.”
In that direction is a city that had a lot of attention on it. It was also where everything had started.
“We’re going to Cosmos.”
