Chapter 41.2
41 . 2 Again, Sorry for the Trouble
“Ah, that’s right . ”
Ludriad-san seems to recall something and stops the carriage . He sticks his face under the cover and says, “You’ll probably be wondering about the details of this incident . Once we finish our investigation, I’ll forward the information through the temple . Well, the important details will be omitted, though . ”
“Ah, we’ll be grateful for that . ”
Even just learning a bit more of the situation might help resolve these feelings of unease . Since we’re involved with this affair, I want to know everything no matter how trivial it is .
“Wait for it without any expectations . Also,”
Ludriad-san looks over all of us .
“You make a very interesting combination . Come to the national armed forces if you’re interested . I guarantee first class treatment . ”
“Ahaha, you’re saying that again? Ludriad-san, you aren’t a member of the national armed forces, right?”
“Yeah, for now . But starting next year, I’ll be getting transferred to the national armed forces . ”
“My, my, well, well, congratulations for that, Ludriad-san . ”
So Ludriad-san is transferring from platoon leader of the patrolmen to the national armed forces . Looks like he’s moving up in life . He might come off as a slacker, but he’s an amazing guy, after all .
Ludriad-san unexpectedly gets embarrassed after we all congratulate him .
“For me, I just want to live a comfortable life from now on . Well, that’s why, come join if you feel like it . ”
“If we feel like it, rightー”
Our final farewells are spoken and the carriage starts moving . We relax and trust our bodies to the swaying carriage .
Yesterday’s unexpected incident has left me exhausted . Still, to think there are people who’d try to defame the dragon tribesmen . I can’t understand the scoundrels of this world at all . If the relationship between the human tribe and the dragon tribesmen worsens, it will become a major diplomatic issue .
That we were able to resolve this before it became a big problem is a relief .
Fuu, with a sigh, I look around and observe how everyone is relaxing within the carriage .
Ruiseine allows Priscilla-chan to sleep on her lap as she gently strokes her head . I wonder if Priscilla-chan is tired . She is already in a deep sleep . Mistral also watches over the two with warm eyes .
Mistral and Ruiseine seem to notice my gaze . They look at me in the same time .
“Ernea-kun, thank you for your hard work today . ”
Ruiseine smiles .
“Today’s battle was pretty good . I was also able to stably use dragon spirit . ”
“Dragon spirit?”
Ruiseine asks in curiosity .
I see, of course Ruiseine doesn’t know about that . How much did Mistral tell Ruiseine last night? She should’ve explained the true identities of Priscilla-chan and Nymia . There’s no way she wouldn’t have noticed anything upon entering the bath .
I look at Mistral and she understands my intentions . She, in my stead, explains it to Ruiseine, “I told you that I am the dragon tribesmen princess last night, right?”
“Yes, you did . ”
“We dragon tribesmen, just how you use magic, utilize a power called dragon spirit . Ernea can use it as well . ”
“My, my, well, well, Erna-kun is also a part of the dragon tribesmen?”
“No, it’s different . My master is a grandpa of the dragon tribe . I can use dragon spirit as a human because he taught me how . ”
Ruiseine eyes go round in surprise at my words .
“Ernea, I haven’t told Ruiseine about the venerable elder . ”
Ah, dang . Telling her my master is a dragon must have surprised her . Dragons, after all, are nothing but a menace for the human tribe .
“Eetto, grandpa is a good dragon . He is the dragon who guards the dragon forest . ”
This time, Ruiseine gets even more surprised . Her voice quivers as she says, “Awawa . ”
“Ernea, when explaining something, the information is best given by matching it with the other side’s ability to comprehend it . ”
Mumumu, looks like I overwhelmed her with too much information .
“S-sorry, I said too much . ”
Ruiseine gradually regains her calm after my apology . She takes three deep breaths before speaking .
“Th- That story from just now, is it really true?”
“Y-yeah, it’s true . ”
“Th-that’s right, I suppose . That was truly beyond what I anticipated . I was surprised . ”
“Ah, please keep this as a secret . About grandpa and about how I can use dragon spirit . ”
“Yes, I understand . ”
Ruiseine’s smile fills me with relief . Her being a good person is great . If someone else heard a secret like this, things would have really become troublesome .
“Eetto, so then, that was dragon spirit? That emerald haze that was drifting around Ernea-kun back at the ruins and during the battle that just happened?”
Ruiseine surely intended to ask a harmless question . Regardless, Mistral’s eyes pop open in surprise .
“Y-you can see the dragon spirit!?”
