Chapter 352: Bird Attack!
While everyone was busy preparing for a full-scale search, I consulted with Dianne for the time being.
“I want to visit various places before I get completely busy. Like the royal capital or the cat beast colony”
“……Hmm”
Dianne thinks for a moment.
“You should show up to Polka and the elf territory once. It is also worthwhile to get acquainted with the situation in Trot´s capital and as for the cat beast colony, it is a kind of promise to visit there regularly……”
“May I?”
“……No, first go around to Rennesto to pick up the package. The amount is quite large and we can’t send any dragons to Rennesto other than Maia and Laila. After that, we can make adjustments”
“I understand”
“We’ll also put on Becker and Keiron in case we run into the hero again. If Laila is there, I don’t think there will be any shortage……”
“Thank you”
Now we are ready to look for the hero in Rennesto. Keiron is unusually responsive to personal danger and with 100-man commander Becker, he can hold his own against Sir Bonaparte. Laila is a mature dragon and is said to be one of the fiercest of the black dragons, so she should be safe even in the event of a dragon battle.
“However, it is not necessary to take any chances, considering that they will encounter each other sooner or later. Just be prepared for it”
“Y, Yes”
Ultimately, if we just pull Neia into the fort, there’s no way we’ll have any problems. It’s worth it to take her with you, even at some risk, so that you can gather information if the need arises. ……And it seems like it’s stressful for Neia to be taken care of and not do anything.
So the first step is to reorganize the Rennesto expedition team. 100-man commander Becker, Keiron, Laila and Maia are confirmed.
“Neia will be there too. Tetes and Naris are going……”
“Of course I’ll go”
Tetes readily announced her participation. Naris was captured by Almeida.
“I, I’m not sure if I should be treated as one set with Tetes-chan”
“Aside from Tetes, you seem to be running away because you don’t want to do hard physical labor”
“Th, That’s prejudice!? I mean, if I don’t hold the reins of Tetes-chan, 10-man captain Smithson will be in a lot of trouble”
Sharon smiles at Naris trying to make an excuse.
“I’ll go. I want to visit my brother”
“Uh……”
If Sharon was going, the chaperone’s cause would be weakened. Naris deflated as if she had given up. ……After that,
“Right, can I borrow Hilda-san?”
I checked with Dianne.
“What about my older sister?”
“Yeah☆ Andy-kun wants to kill time with Sensei’s mouth because he’s free on the move……dont master☆”
“No, please do that at night”
I want you to think that my limit is not to deny it. ……Because it is an undeniable fact that the beds will be enriched when Hilda-san starts teaching.
“I’m sure General Kingfisher is curing himself at Rennesto and could use a helping hand with his beak treatment”
“Ah, by the way……”
“Well, that kind of restoration could be done with a little work! However, it’s a delicate matter whether the beak is still useless”
“If you don’t need it there, I’ll just call you a sex worker……”
I was a little disgusted with myself when I realized that I had made a crazy comment after I had said it so plainly. But even so, Hilda’s ears perked up and she was happy.
“If you say so, hey Andy-kun……? Can’t you go a little further and say, 『If you have nothing to do, suck my cock?』”
“In the meantime, please don’t talk nonsense while we’re talking about work”
“Eh. That’s not good”
It’s not good at all.
-
So, we returned to the Celeste mansion in Rennesto with a fuller team than last time.
“I’m supposed to pick it up tomorrow, right? Do you want me to go and urge them?”
“That doesn’t feel good either, does it?”
Keiron was reluctant to accept Tetes’ proposal. The first thing to do is to get the cargo that is ready to be delivered first, so that there will be more time to plan the transportation.
“I’m going to check around town a little bit. Maybe I’ll pick up some strange traces. ……Laila-san and Knight Chief Sharon, I’m counting on you here”
Becker threw his winter cloak on the bench in the garden and disappeared as if he was disappearing. The particular 100-man commander jumped on top of a nearby fence, jumped again without a sound and disappeared beyond it.
“Ho. He’s a restless man”
“Shrewd and dynamic. Isn’t he a dependable man”
Sharon defends 100-man commander Becker. ……Well, from a military point of view, he who is independent, aggressive and good at retreating is certainly the most dependable person you could ask for.
“Sharon, don’t flirt with 100-man commander Becker. You’re mine”
I felt a little ugly myself, but I had to say it. Sharon looked at me for a moment, then smiled and hugged my arm.
“Of course, Master?”
She seemed to be somewhat happy.
“Ah, you sly knight chief”
“I’m not allowed to make out outside in the daytime☆ You have to wait until nighttime too”
Tetes and Hilda were the first to give out wild comments. I mean, you are strangely disciplined, Hilda-san.
“Andy-sama, do you want me to do something?”
Maia has the mobile carriage lined up at the end of the yard, then returns to her human body and comes running toward us.
“Get Laila dressed, then we’ll go out for lunch”
I suggested and Keiron, who had been quiet, suddenly became very energetic.
“I want some meat! That’s not dried! Not dried, not tough!”
“Ho. If he wants meat so badly, why didn’t he just say so at the fort? I’ll hunt you a deer or a buffalo for fun”
“Meat that has been properly processed by a butcher and a chef is different from that kind of meat”
Keiron argued passionately. It’s true that dried meat and amateur cooking don’t have the same taste.
“Then we can go to a food stall and grill it on skewers”
And, after all, Neia gets well when it comes to food. It seemed that she was cautious about the matter of Rainer Exceliza, but did she realize that she didn’t have to waste her time alone because she had backups such as Sharon and Laila?
“Thick steaks are hard to throw away, right?”
“Hilda-san is surprisingly a carnivore, isn’t she?”
“What is it? Dark elves don’t eat as much as white elves and dwarves”
“I don’t remember dwarves having such a picky eater”
“Dark elves are not as picky eaters as the white elves and dwarves. But even so, they have a very strong body structure”
Without any water in their eyes, they all headed for the street of food stalls.
And then, on the street, we met an unexpected person.
“KuaKuaKua! Yummy! As expected of a master, you know our tastes!”
“Uhuhuhuhu”
Terribly shiny blue wings. And that distinctive squeak.
“Oh. Kingfisher-kun”
“……Kua! C, Captain Dianne’s older sister!?”
When Hilda-san called out his name, General Tori turned his head to look at us almost directly behind him and was surprised.
“I see your beak has healed”
“Yes, it is”
Tetes and Sharon nodded at each other. His beak was so shiny that it was hard to believe it had been destroyed once.
“What are you doing? In Catalina, there are the ace knight corps and reverse hair working hard”
“I’m sure you’re just a small fry in the captain’s office! What are you doing with a bunch of women in tow!?”
“……I’m on a mission”
“I’m on duty, too! Rest is an important mission for military personnel! Kua!”
General Kingfisher is angry as he twists his head right back. Please don’t do that, it’s very unnatural. Then, a woman, who was opposite the general in the blue seat of the barrel chair, comes out from behind her wing. She looks pretty with glasses.
“Cray-san? Who are those people over there?”
“Kua, e, emm, colleagues, subordinates, or not at all…emm, what a pain in the ass…introduce yourselves, you small fry”
“Hohou. Treat me as a small fish, this bird”
“I’ll freeze your feathers so they don’t move”
The two dragons twisted fire and ice in their hands and General Kingfisher apparently realized that they were dragons.
“Awawawa, stop the time-time fighting scene and return to your home country!”
……And before the impatience that insulted a dragon, he may be a warrior when the concern about the position comes.
“Oh. I thought you’d be a bit more naughty than I’d heard”
When Hilda-san said so, General Kingfisher turned his body toward us and clasped his hands together.
“I, I’ll ask, it’s true that I tend to be a little too violent, but I’m in trouble if I just get home this time!”
“……?”
Hilda looks strange. I don’t even know why. No, I don’t want to see this person and Laila fighting each other, but I wonder if he was such a bad person for us who are not psychologically powerful like Dianne.
“Hahaah?”
Tetes seemed to notice something there. She grinned.
“What do you mean?”
When asked for an explanation, Tetes held up a finger in a gesture that said, 「Please wait a moment」.
“Hello? I’m Tetes Murray of Gauntlet Knights, I’m indebted to the General?”
“Oh……Red Arm at such a young age”
“Ehehe, I’m embarrassed”
And then she signals us with her eyes. Does she mean to imitate her?
“Emm, I’m 10-man captain Andy Smithson of the Celesta Army”
“I´m 10-man captain Edgar Keiron of the Celestan Army”
“Civilian employed doctor, Hilda-san☆”
We introduced ourselves to each other slowly. Laila and Maia properly deceived and the woman stood up and put her hand on her chest.
“I am Lucia Arts from the Race Taxonomy Laboratory at West Valerie Academy”
“This is the person who cured me of my injuries”
“I’ve been looking at birdman treatment material as a hobby……”
……Surprisingly, the treating physician was found rather easily, apparently. Then General Kingfisher surrounded me and Keiron with his wings and whispered in a whisper.
“Please, you know what I mean?”
“What is it……”
“I don’t understand unless you go through the steps”
“I’m working well with such a cute girl, so please watch over me warmly, huh? Na? You guys don’t seem to be very popular, so you know how I feel”
……Oh? Does this guy not know that I have a lot of female slaves? No, he simply forgot. He’s a bird head. I mean.
“Success……are you going?”
I think the bird hobby is pretty niche.
“Of course I’m on the verge of success. After all, she invited me to dinner with her. I’ve already won”
“…………”
“That’s the speed of your brain strategy……”
“Kukukua. I know, don’t I?
Keiron’s wry sarcasm didn’t seem to get through.
It’s bad to get in the way, so we go through the shops around that area and set up at a skewer stall a little further away.
“What do you think, Keiron?”
“I think it’s difficult……because it’s that General Bird. Even for a human and a beastman, there is a lot of conflict”
The most important thing to remember is that, in addition to lifestyle issues, birdmen, lizardmen, mermen and other beast-like creatures are generally not considered sexual objects by people outside of their own species.
“And I’m pretty sure that bird is older than 100-man special duty commander Becker. That girl looks younger than me”
“Yes. I’d say she’s about 22 or 23. Well, she’s in a academy, so she’s not too young”
“……If one is unlucky girl……well”
“It seems impossible……”
We mumble the skewered pork while talking in a low voice. At the table next door, Neia and Maia are showing plenty of food without hesitation. However, the cuteness of eating innocently was so topical that it became irresistible in the love of the bird. However,
“……She doesn’t seem too happy about it”
“Hilda-san”
“When I heard about it, it was like that. It seems that Birdman has something to do with the race. She said, 『I love Birdmen……why don’t they live in the Valerie area?』”
“……Hou”
“W, Well, the age difference is……hard to tell from the looks of it, so it’s an ant……?”
We try to revise our opinions.
“But she said something maniac, like, 『Especially the shape of the bones around the base of the wing is irresistible, isn’t it?』”
Hilda twists her head.
“Just a bone fetishist……?”
“C, Can I go……?”
“Think of it like a man’s fetish for big tits or something”
“It’s a little different, isn’t it?”
A bird and a human develop love? We were seriously discussing it, forgetting about the threat of the mysterious hero.
