Chapter 5: The Bitter Dragon
Some people may not understand, why do you have to go to the cemetery outside the city to collect a pumpkin?
It's easy to understand that going outside the city doesn't grow pumpkins in the castle. But what is the purpose of going to the cemetery?
This is because, for a special reason that even Yagi Yukisai can't explain, the entire cemetery is now full of ghosts and skeleton soldiers with pumpkin heads.
Is this what it's called festive?
So, the so-called collection of pumpkins is actually ......
"Drink!"
With a powerful male shout, a heavy sword strike pierced the air with a sharp sound of breaking wind, followed by the sound of something smashing.
Dressed in heavy armor and holding a murder weapon worthy of what could be called a greatsword, Siegfried was wandering here.
As if because of the emphasis on the dragon's side when he was summoned, Siegfried grew a pair of dragon horns in his silver-white hair, and a pair of dragon-like wings and tails grew from his back.
When ordinary people become like this, they must have to change their clothes.
Fortunately, Siegfried couldn't wear armor behind his back because of his own curse, and his shirt was originally a backless outfit, so he didn't care about wings and tails at all.
As the monster with the pumpkin head fell on his sword in his hand, he easily cut it to pieces, and the pumpkin head rolled out with a grunt, and he hurriedly stepped forward, picked it up, and threw it into the basket not far behind him, which was crooked and already filled with seven or eight pumpkins. There are also three baskets full of pumpkins next to it, which is his recent harvest.
"Yo, Siegfried."
Yukisai Yagi greeted him.
"Oh, Yagi. Hello. ”
Siegfried bowed to him slightly, and at the same time, with a flick of his tail, he slapped the pumpkin-headed ghost that floated over and tried to sneak up on his back.
The one he respected the most in this city of Chakhedis was Yukisai Yagi.
Because...... He's the only one here who doesn't call him Mr. Long, but rather Siegfried.
Because when summoned, Elizabeth was unreasonable and said, "What a dragon slayer! Don't call it by that name! From now on, you will be the strongest demon dragon hovering over this evil castle! From then on, everyone referred to him as Mr. Long.
"What are you doing at the cemetery today?"
He asked.
is too serious and too rigid in character, making his words sound a little boring.
"Well, help our lord find a huge pumpkin that she can get out of...... But let's not talk about this for now, it's really overkill to let the big hero of the dragon slayer do this boring thing of collecting pumpkins. ”
Yukisai Yagi picked up the crimson spear he had brought with him, and since Skaha arrived, he had become accustomed to using it. With a whirl of his spear, the crimson shaft of the spear smashed the onrushing skeleton soldiers to pieces.
"Is it overkill? I think this kind of job is a good fit for me. ”
There was no taste of self-deprecation in Siegfried's words, so he probably really felt that he was very suitable.
He's not the kind of person who is clever and eloquent, nor is he the kind of person who is mentally active, and this kind of mechanical simple and repetitive work is more suitable for him than the work of using his brain, he can work seriously all day, even if it is just wielding a sword blade to annihilate the enemy and collect pumpkins, he will not feel bored. That's the kind of character he is.
Yagi Yukisai was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile:
"But, as a big hero, you really still want to do something exaggerated, right?"
"That kind of thing doesn't really matter. As long as I can help others. Someone has to do this kind of mundane work. ”
The two of them waved their weapons while chatting, don't look at Yagi Yukisai has just started using guns, but he, who often plays Musou games, is no stranger to this weapon. Swinging the gun in a similar way, the speed is not slow.
In particular, the spear that Skaha gave him was enough to be called a magic spear, and although he couldn't liberate his real name now, he only said that the attack power as a weapon was an excellent weapon that was not inferior to the Holy Sword.
Yagi Xuesai originally thought that Siegfried would be indignant, or unwilling, and he would be able to incite him to rebel at that time.
But I didn't expect it...... Isn't this completely useless?
Siegfried's humility has become a shortcoming at this moment, he is too indifferent to fame and fortune, and it is difficult to take advantage of it.
Yagi Yukisai is going to cry, what can I do?
If you don't hurry, Fujimaru Rika is coming!
Could it be that she really wants to go to this messy concert? It's going to die, right?
Yagi Yukisai can endure this auditory violence in the name of music because he will poke his ear deaf before listening to Elizabeth's concert, anyway, he is a servant, and after destroying the eardrum, he can still regenerate. As long as you can get through the current tune.
But what about Rika Fujimaru?
Alas......
Yagi Yukisai sighed, and was thinking about it in his heart, when he saw Siegfei suddenly stop his body and stretched out his hand to stop Yagi Yukisai.
"There is movement ......"
Siegfried said, guarding himself and picking up his sword with both hands.
As the two of them stopped talking, there was some sound of thin cords in the graveyard.
It was the sound of footsteps, mixed with the grinding of metal armor.
Apparently a group of people has come......
This is...... Chaldeans?!
Yagi Xuesai secretly said that it was over, it was over, and the Chaldean ones had come.
I haven't had time to lay out yet, so I can only defect on the spot!
But with the Holy Grail conditioning, it's annoying.
Who's coming?
It was Fujimaru Rika and his party.
Although I wanted to look for Yagi when I set off, I couldn't find it at all, so Fujimaru Rika came by herself.
Followed by Marda, Matthew. These two men, one a saint who could defeat the dragon by prayer alone, and the other a reliable guard with a huge shield.
Then following behind Fujimaru Rika was the silent hero Arjuna, whose blazing eyes kept staring at the depths of the cemetery, and in his eyes, distance was not a problem at all.
"Master, about fifteen miles away, I confirmed that Yagi Yukisai and Siegfried. Please instruct. ”
Like a robot, he sent a report to Rika Fujimaru.
"Ah...... Sure enough, Yagi-senpai was involved in such a thing again! ”
Rika Fujimaru sighed.
This is very spiritual, Arjunaki said:
"Has something similar happened before?"
"Well, it looks like he's under my command! Hawkers, this is also helpless! Where's the banquet compared to that? I can't wait to dance the dance! ”
Speaking was one of the most zealous people in the Chaldees, Oda Nobunaga.
"Mmmm Dare to claim to be the most shining concert or something, and the concert without Yu is simply bleak! ”
The speaker's self-confidence has completely exposed her identity, and the servant who is so confident in her singing voice is Emperor Nero.
"So, I'll go ahead and find my way. And ask Siegfried about it. ”
Medusa, who had been bowing her head to the front of the line, turned around and asked the master, and Fujimaru Rika nodded, signaling her to go and come back quickly.
