Chapter 186
Chapter 186 - Let's Play with Mino-kun
The morning after Lyle and Emily learned about Kazane and the others' relation to Yuuko-nee and Tiara's lineage, Kazane was on her way to the bathroom and saw Lyle and Emily staring out the window with dark circles under their eyes .
Kazane was worried by that situation and said「Will they be alright?」but the two people were able to act normally when they ran into Tiara later without any awkwardness, so she was relieved . Later on she also saw Naoki, Jinrai, Lyle, Emily, and Tiara all properly talking together, so it seemed everything turned out well .
Furthermore, seeing Naoki ask the others not to treat Tiara any differently increased Tiara's favorability rating by a ridiculous amount, and Emily was, as usual, choked up with emotion by Naoki treating a comrade kindly, but there was no meaning in picking out specific times when Naoki did something they liked, so those will be omitted .
「The road between Deer South and Dolmu will be designated as an area requiring extreme caution for a while . 」
After breakfast ended, Kazane and the others were told that by Guildmaster Benzel .
As expected, it seemed the Earth Core Dragon meat and Childstone being snatched away was quite bad, and they were told the Hyvern army would soon put together a subjugation squad .
「I hope Jiraid doesn't do anything rash . 」
Jinrai had a worried expression . Kobold Blues were so dangerous that they were called certain death poison masters . Jinrai also thought Jiraid himself shouldn't make a mistake against a Kobold Blue, but his subordinate Dragon Knights and mounts were another story . If they were to challenge with a brute force approach there was the possibility of the poison causing many casualties .
Although there was nothing Kazane and the others could do now, so the topic was quickly aborted . Their return to Deer South would happen one or two weeks later, so there was a high possibility the situation would be settled in the meantime .
「So Kazane, we'll be immersed in special training the entire day, but what are you going to do?」
According to Jinrai's idea that working up a sweat was better than unnecessary brooding, it seemed the training today would be focused on strengthening Lyle and Emily .
「Yeah . I'm probably not going to use very much Magic Power today, so I'm planning to come by around evening . Jinrai-san seems to want another match against Mino-kun . 」
「Mm . Since the last time was without the Knight-sans . I would like to fight them at the same time today . 」
This grandpa was super eager .
「It looks like somebody will be coming from Minshiana, so I think I'll be in a meeting with that person and Aikis-san until the evening? I will have Naoki accompany me, so he'll join you for special training in the afternoon . Is that fine, Naoki?」
「Nn, understood . 」
Naoki nodded after Kazane's words .
「As a matter of fact, I will also be doing special training in the afternoon . 」
Following Kazane and the others' words, Tiara's chest literally bounced as she spoke .
「You'll be studying hard in the morning, though . 」
Louise chided Tiara .
It seemed Tiara had been thinking since her previous special training that she should do spear training . It seemed she thought she had reached the limit of her ability to operate the Flame Knights by relying solely on her imagination, so she was thinking she could strengthen them by actually experiencing battle training herself .
Then Kazane and Naoki went to the Shrine Magic Arms Workshop, and the person who came from Minshiana was one of Garua's (the man who once tried to assassinate Kazane) subordinate researchers . He had brought an Accumulator that incorporated a large amount of Truesilver to increase the Magic Power absorption amount, and he proposed using that in the handle of the Crystal Dragon horn sword .
However, it was necessary to insert the Crystal Dragon horn into the center of the handle . Because of that, the handle itself was extended and Muscle Clay was added to the inside . And Kazane had strongly requested『a certain thing』be installed at the end of the handle yesterday, so that was adopted as well .
Also, the Crystal Eyes, which gave the Circlet of Wisdom its remote viewing ability, would no longer be placed in the core of the handle, but would be made into earrings for Naoki instead . They would be auxiliary equipment that would allow the『Magic Sword Operator』Naoki to use remote viewing like Kazane .
Once the details of the item were thus decided, Naoki went to training while Kazane coordinated the schedule . The weapon would take nearly two weeks to complete, and after saying they would collect it on their way back from the dragon village, Kazane also headed to Jinrai and the others .
Then it was time for the match between Jinrai and Mino-kun as planned .
◎ Dolmu City, Nearby Plains
「NuuoO」
「Ah, another one was destroyed!」
The last knight model Golem Knight-san was destroyed by Jinrai's dragonfang spear .
「Grrr, Mino-kun, Hippomaru R, do it!!」
Kazane gave instructions to the Golems with a vexed expression .
Jinrai avoided the Stone Minotaur's 3 meter magic sword mincing attack with backsteps . Then he jumped to dodge the attacks from the crystal horses with horns sticking out of their chests approaching from the left and right and immediately sent one of their heads flying .
「That's it, Mino-kun!」
However, Jinrai was defenseless in the air . The Stone Minotaur swung the 3 meter magic sword again, and Jinrai crossed both spears to block and was sent flying .
「Nu」
A moan leaked from Jinrai's mouth due to that power, but he landed on the ground after about two rotations . He pushed the spear shafts into the ground to brace himself .
「Hippomaru R, attack!!」
Kazane once again sent forth the Hippomaru R .
Those crystal horses were Crystallized Golem horses made using Hippomaru-kun as a reference, and each was armed with a Black Rock Dragon horn sticking out of their chests . The R, of course, meant they were mass production models . And the headless Hippomaru R also rushed toward Jinrai .
「The head is a decoration! Such excellent」
