Chapter 10: The War Ahead
With Vivien's help, no treasure was found, and Ariel and her party, who had only been given a whistle that could summon a Saint Seiya as a souvenir, were successfully teleported back to the beach.
However, the matter of stealing food at night was solved perfectly.
So, Ariel, who didn't want to go to school, dragged everyone to live in the mansion of Hagen's good friend Darth for a few days before embarking on the road back to the imperial capital.
However, when Ariel arrived in the imperial capital, she found that something was wrong with the whole world.
Not to mention the fact that the soldiers were fully armed and ready to go, and more importantly, there was no one left in the two academies of the empire.
Neither the student nor the tutor nor the two single deans were there.
"Anyway, let's go to the palace first, and I'll ask my father. Chris suggested.
―――――――――――――――― cutting ――――――――――――――――――--
To everyone's surprise, the old emperor of the empire, Jack, was no longer in the imperial capital, and it was Louise who greeted them in the living room.
"Mother, what's going on? Why isn't there a single one in the academy, and the soldiers?"
Chris is a little unsettled.
"Chris who is in a hurry is also quite cute. Louise just pursed her lips and smiled.
"Mother, this is not the time to discuss this. ”
"Okay, I got it. Louise waved her hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then made a big announcement.
"In fact, the Orcs went to war with the Empire the other day. ”
"How is that possible?" Chris stood up in surprise: "Didn't the empire sign a long truce agreement with the orcs, why did it ...... during the truce?"
"We don't know about this either, but according to the spies at the Orcs, the chiefs of several of their tribes were killed by our human assassins, so ...... Chris. Did you do it?"
"How could it be me. I've never used this before. ”
"It's supposed to be a blame. Ariel spoke: "Obviously, someone is trying to provoke a war between the orcs and humans. ”
"It's my Ariel-chan, so smart. Louise hugged Ariel, rubbing her head hard against the pair of boobs.
"Mom, Ariel is mine!" said Anne, dissatisfied.
When is it time for you to still quarrel about this kind of thing?
"Well, we've considered that possibility, too. Louise let go of Ariel, who was about to suffocate to death: "So we also suspect that it may be the undead's movements." ”
"What about Father? He's on the front?" asked Chris.
"Yes. Because you weren't there these days, he went in person. ”
"......" blamed himself for wanting to go there to rest on a whim, and now he actually let his father go instead of him......
"Don't blame yourself, Chris, we had time to inform you, but you are so tired that you can finally relax, and we don't want to bother you. ”
"But I ......"
"Alright, alright, if that's what you really think, set off for the Savage Land now. Louise smiled: "And Hagen-chan, your territory is outside, please go to General Robert in the Burial Land when you go back this time." Remind him once again to keep an eye on the movements of the undead. ”
"I see, Your Highness Louise. Although he did not want to be separated from Ariel, Hagen understood that the interests of the country were now paramount.
"As for the academy, because this is a rare opportunity for students to come into contact with the war, the deans of the two academies and the tutors have brought all the students with them, and Ariel-chan, you should also rush over, just in time to help Chris. Ariel-chan is very smart, isn't she?"
"There is nothing. Ariel was stunned: "That's it, just a little bit." ”
"Then let's hurry and go, I saw a large group of guards preparing to go for the battle. We can follow them. Chris looked very anxious. It's as if the empire is about to fall.
Hawkers, battles on the front line. It shouldn't be as intense as he thought. bar.
―――――――――――――― ――――――――――――――――――――
So the group decided to pack their bags and set off.
Ahri's luggage was supposed to be in the palace like Maria, but she found an excuse to run out alone.
It seems that my brother's action has begun, but I still have ...... here.
Just as Ahri pulled out the parchment and was about to write a letter, and then called the owl to bring it to her brother, two familiar figures appeared in her distance.
Wolves and dogs.
As the four orcs sent by the Tiger King on a spy mission. One of the wolves, dogs, cats, and foxes, Ahri naturally doesn't mistake the two guys in front of him.
It's strange that my brother didn't get rid of them. It seems that this time the action brother is not completely prepared.
Luckily, I met it. Otherwise, you will suffer.
"The fox is there!" said the wolf king, though momentarily surprised, dragged his wounded body and dog to Ahri.
"It's you, what's the matter, it's all wounded, what about the cat?" Ahri said, looking surprised.
"We, we've been attacked. The wolf gasped and said, "The cat's words have already returned to the beast clan first, and the wolf king has no way but to escape back with the dog." Do you have any safe places here?"
Sure enough, did my brother fail to assassinate him, maybe because he couldn't do it.
"Let me help the dog. Ahri said and took the dog, and the wolf swayed after Ahri.
"Fox, do you know where to sell ...... here"
The wolf stopped before he could finish his words.
He clearly saw a blade protruding from the back of the dog in front of him, and then the dog slowly fell from Ahri.
"Fox, you're ......"
"Well, even I can't do anything to your stupid wolf, but this dog with rabies is different. ”
Ahri slowly pulled the knife out of the dog's chest.
"You, what are you doing? Are you crazy fox?"
"I'm glad I met you here, otherwise my brother's plan would have failed. ”
"The plan?" the wolf thought for a few seconds with wide eyes, "Could it be that the assassination...... It turns out that the assassination of the beast clan patriarch in the mouths of those humans was done by Bai Yu?No wonder I think the person who killed me is so much like him. I didn't expect it to be you foxes. ”
"Well, I'm sorry stupid wolf, although I won't kill you, but don't try to stop the war. ”
"Is it just you who have only one tail?" the wolf ran away with all his might. "Even if I hurt you badly, you can't stop ......"
At the moment when the wolf turned around, a white-haired fox girl appeared in front of him, and seven snow-white tails behind him were slowly swinging.
"I've never said that I only have a tail, huh? stupid wolf. ”
(Today's second shift, I'm tired, and I'm going to climb the mountain or something today.) (To be continued......)
