Volume 8, Chapter 113: Where the Knights are
A rainbow circle drew a vivid trajectory in the blue sky. The Levitate-ship continued on its way through the air with something that gave off a strong presence floating on top of it. Looking up, David made a face at that particular something.
“What the hell is wrong with you?”
In the center of the rainbow circle, there was something horribly strange. Even though it looked like a young girl, it looked like a duel-class demon beast with a huge body (though no gent would ever tell her that, surely?) and four eyes. Behind her was an armored creature, holding the shape of the upper body of a humanoid, covered with the shell of some strange beast, which was even more bizarre.
“The more I look at it, the more certain I am that it looks like an enemy.”
“I really agree with that.”
In Guelarinde, Dietrich also had a similar expression.
“I don’t think I’ll be able to be all that good of a person, regarding this thing.”
Piloting Guelarinde, Dietrich lowered his sword, though he didn’t sheathe it. If events started to break down, then Guelarinde would be the last line of defense.
The iridescent glow slowly approached, stirring up a lot of expectations, doubts, and even some tension. Suddenly, something small came out from inside the horror, jumping forward. It was a small figure that seems to be lost in the blue for a moment. It jumped out and did a flip, landing just a bit outside of the rainbow hued emission from the Ether Reactor.
“That’s…”
Guelarinde’s Holo Monitor certainly captured the image of the figure. Dietrich leaned forward in the cockpit, eyes practically devouring the image. Eventually, though, he exhaled slowly and smiled.
“I didn’t think we’d be able to meet again in this life, but here you are.”
In front of the boss, whom remained standing there, the figure descended with a faint sound. The wind flowing over the deck caused the purple-silver hair of the figure to sway. The boss staggered, seeming to doubt whether or not he’d been mistaken.
“……Silver…Ernesti!”
A few months ago, he challenged a herd of insect-shaped monsters and disappeared. There was an unchanging smile. Rather, nothing seemed to have changed about that impudent youth.
“Oh, I was safe after all…”
“It’s been a while, boss. Anyway, first of all, please get me some Magi-Comm gear.”
“Eh… Oh!?”
Ernesti Echeverria hasn’t stopped once. Everything began to move at once.
“Tell them to stop fighting right away. Addy’s in Kasasagi over there, not an enemy.”
“Hey, do I want a young lady, too? Oh, yeah… Hey, Di.”
“I know.”
Guelarinde was equipped with the Multi-purpose Launcher and had already began to fire. A bullet went straight up into the air and bloomed like a flower of light in the air. The color of the dazzling, shining light was blue. There was only one craft with this color in the Silver Phoenix Knights, the color indicating “Ikaruga”.
Each looking at the state of the flagship Izumo immediately grasped the situation.
Fire-fighting specification machines release the battle wait, Silhouette Arms I’m going to take it down. And, the convoy slowly regained calm. The air of the battle flows away from the sky. Looking around, Ell was singing her chest.
“I didn’t have a way to communicate, so I thought what i should do.”
“That’s why i can’t stick to it head-on.”
The boss comes to Eru a bit of what was going on. At that time, a heartbreaking voice sounded from the sky.
“Eru… It’s a little hard to put this down!?”
“Oh, my God.”
What Eru looked back on was the appearance of Kasasagi, which swayed side to side unreliably, floating with Parl looking back and behind.
“Well, Master Addy… Yo… Calm down!?”
“Maybe it’s okay. Well, is this it?”
“Oh, yeah. Magister Eru! Help, help…”
“Ikaruga’s cockpit, why is this button here at all!”
Just as Eru impatiently started to make a cramp-like movement A Gun Like Rod was drawn.
“Hey, I’ll go.”
“Oh, yeah. I’ll collect everyone.”
Shortly before stopping, Eru was returning to the empty dwellers again.
“It’s been a while, but it’s not as usual. You’re a shaved boy!” (What the fuck? Edits to come)
Contrary to the dialogue, the speaker had a huge grin on his face. The boss also returned to the ship lightly.
Knight leader, return. The news ran around the ship at an incredible speed.
“Hey, the captain is back!”
“I’m serious. He just showed up, but from where?”
“It’s that small and it’s able to fly?”
“What’s scary about it? But I’m scared because if he can break through to the ship, others can too.”
“So scary.”
The voice tube was filled with varied conversations, and they gathered in the ship’s warehouse one after another, abandoning their duties. As everyone’s attention was fixed on this new sight, the elevator began to descend, the gears creaking. Then, they saw the monstrosity that appeared on the pedestal, eyes widening in shock and awe. The elevator slowly entered the ship while the echoing creak of the gears continued.
“Oh, this is…”
Looking at the scene inside Izumo, the little magician opened all four of her eyes.
They were arranged in a narrow way, though Tuediane was near the front. In the back of each Silhouette Knight were the Silhouette Gear units were moving about in a leisurely manner.
The knights they used were comparable, in scale, to the various giant clans in size. Granted, one primary difference was the capacity for flight and the over-all weapon usage. Parl, who was beginning to understand the meaning of such a thing trembled ever so slightly.
Eru came to stand before the little mage, whom opened her eyes to eat.
“How are you, Parl? It’s my pleasure to show you the Silver Phoenix Knights, led by me.”
“…… It’s really not like the Goblin clan… In this case, even should the Cretvastia show up, you won’t get caught up in things as long as you look about properly.”
A voice came from the cockpit of Guelarinde standing behind her.
“Is that clue something about that bug-shaped monster? We met a few on the way, but two or three of them were crushed easily enough.”
“What? It’s a fierce thing! Everyone here must be Braves! Is that what you meant, back then?”
She did not doubt Dietrich’s words. The power of the flying Mystic Knight of the Goblin Clan was fully understood by even her, a young giant whom has known battle. Unknowingly, she was clenching her fist. As soon as the elevator arrived at the ship’s hold, the members who were around him rushed in. If you have time to react to something, best to be about it. They were swallowed up by the hustle and bustle of routine.
“Oh, It’s really our brave Knight Commander!”
“I mean, I was alive all this time… I’m just saying.”
“By any chance… Is this Ikaruga?”
“Hey. There’s no trace of it anywhere.”
“What is this again?! Phantom Knight? A demon beast?“
“Uhm… I have four eyes, you know…”
“Oh, there are a lot of phantom knights, so I’m calm.”
“It’s like a duel-class giant? This forest is really too scary.”
“Tsuka, what are you familiar with?”
“If you look closely, it might be surprisingly cute.”
“Oh, you…”
“Rather, why is it only half?”
“Yee-ye So you’re going to make half of it? Give me a break.”
“Oh, there are a lot of them. Are the teachers of your clan influential among the small demons?”
“Is that thing really faster than the Flying Knight?”
“The iron incense is very fragrant.”
“What do you think? Maybe it’s a little bit of a scale.”
“That’s right! The demon tribe can’t be underestimated.”
“Oh, my God!”
“What’s going on here?”
“Oh, my God, you’re a great!!!!”
At last, the place became quiet by one blackmail of the boss who was not able to gather. Involuntarily, he closes his mouth to the little magician and corrects his posture. After that, everyone’s glance did not start and it faced one place. Eru, in the center, raised his hand.
“Yes, Mr. Chairman, permission to speak!”
“I’m a leader. I’ll explain it to you. Who is the chairman?”
“I’m going to have a good time.”
The boss falls with a long sigh.
And then, Eru stood in front of the Knights the same as usual. It’d been a few months but it was his natural habit coming to the fore.
First, he turned his hand to the little magician who was nervous.
“She’s building a force to be reckoned with in this forest. I’m a part of that force. The Giants are divided into clans, and we’re technically representatives of the Kaerreus clan. Parl is definitely playing a role in that.”
“I was introduced by my master, me, a four-eyed child mage.”
When the little magician looked around and said this, an uncontrollable noise spread among the members.
“Oh, I’m not mistaken, I know what you’re saying.”
“Can you talk to such a big thing?”
“As you can see, you can communicate with the Giants. There are many circumstances in it, but…… For the time being, I was indebted to them. Specifically, the Kaerreus clan.”
“That’s fine, it’s fine, Ernesti. So you’re a teacher, huh?”
Guelarinde was fired. As you get on the aircraft, you can hear Dietrich’s voice from the loudspeaker.
“What is a teacher?”
“Me and Eru, Parl. We taught you magic!”
“Oh. I’m learning from my masters.”
“…… Really, what are you guys doing?”
Dietrich went out of his way to manipulate Guelarinde, holding his forehead and shaking his head.
“It was necessary because now there’s a battle between the giant clans here.”
“It’s a…!”
Eru’s words blew away the atmosphere that seemed to be loosely amazed, and the air was filled.
Eru began to talk to it confirming that everyone’s attention returned again. The giants are fighting for the throne, about the largest clans and small clans.
“There are two important things in that. First of all, the greatest clan, the beast as a weapon that the Rubel clan uses. They call it Cretvastia. It is what we think of as the insect-type demon beast.”
“They can use the demon beasts as weapons? Wait, that’s possible?”
“We use horses, too. From the giant’s point of view, I think they’ll be tamed as a duel class.”
“But what is that bug type?”.
A lot of confusion and the doubt swirled.
There is the relation between the Knights and the demon beasts and it was shallow. Knights of the Kingdom of Fremevira are used to fight demon beasts; the demon beasts can never be overlooked.
“One more thing. Rather, this is more important.”
Eru was slightly hesitant and the members took notice of it. They’d never imagined that the Knight Commander even knew how to hesitate. Their resolve was not in vain.
“It’s not just the giants who are here. The descendants of the first expeditionary force are living down there.”
There was no sound. It took a little time for understanding to come. As the meaning of the little commander’s words finally took hold… I wasn’t as if the Great Bocuse Forest had been completely unexplored. It was true that there were those who had fallen into the forest, ambitious people seeking to create their own kingdom. However, so many people had been spent in the forest. Because of this, and the fact that the forest cutting expedition army was annihilated, it was assumed that all whom went in had all fallen.
In addition, it is an old story for hundreds of years that the expeditionary adjure happened. It has been thought that it will be difficult to find the trace in the place where it entered the forest. It can be said that it is outside of the imagination as there is a descendant of the survivor in the much more.
Seeing each looking on in puzzlement, Eru turned around and showed off the foreign object standing behind him.
“This is Kasasagi. It was made from the remnants of Ikaruga. It is due to the help of the people who live below that made creating this possible. In other words, it is the descendants of the Forest Cutting Expeditionary Force.”
“Well… It’s going to take a lot of work to finish.”
The boss groaned with the Kasasagi beside him. It is the one that it is interested strongly as the engineer who made Ikaruga at the same time as the captain of the Blacksmith Corps of the Silver Phoenix Knights. Whether it was possible to have the sanity really even if the detail was heard was another problem.
Eru nodded back.
“This is also equipped with an Etherial Levitator, though I’ve improved on it. It’s to the point where I can fly for the time being.”
“Hey, wait a minute, what have you done this time?”
“So I just found everyone on my way… I was on my way as a messenger with Parl.”
“Let’s hear it. Where were you on your way too?”
As Eru smiled and tried to open his mouth, the sound of a loud bell echoed in the ship’s hold.
“Oh, wait a minute! Flying Knights Are Coming Home!”
“Put it in the maintenance team position.”
“Preparation for storage It’s dangerous. Everybody stay away!”
The members who heard the news began to move. The little magician was sending a curious look at the corner.
In the meantime, the back door of the ship’s hold opened.
Flying knights approach from across the sky. At the same speed Lifting heavy arm machine《Crane Arm》he grabbed the flying knight and carried it inside.
“Magister Eru. It’s interesting to see the flying ships of the goblin clan.”
“That’s right. We worked together to create these.”
While Eru is proud of her, the flying knight’s carry-in ends. After a while, we sifted through the crowd. A cavalry man.《Night Runner》We came.
“Wow, I’m really the leader of such a fine force!”
“Yee-ye He’s here. So that’s the guy who was on board? Well, I’m not gonna get caught.
“That’s right. There’s such a creepy monster in this world.”
The cavalry men of the first squadron dropped their shoulders as long as they found Eru. If you go back in a hurry to see if you missed the beast, there was something worse of nature. There is also what it is.
At the end of such cavalry, Edgar was there.
He grabbed up to Eru, who was standing in the middle of the bay. He grabbed Eru’s head, which was slightly tilted, and stirred his hair.
“Oh, Mr. Edgar, stop. Hair. It’s amazing.”
“Oh, Mr. Edgar! Wait a minute! It seems fun and I want to do too!”
In spite of Addy’s attempted restraint, Edgar had been scratching Eru’s hair for a while, but eventually he stopped, sighing.
“Can’t you come back a little more quietly, Ernesti?”
“Well, I’m sorry. There was nothing left that could be used. Would it be better to build it in the aircraft and go outside and go directly to the cockpit.”
“I’d like to ask for it by all means. At any rate.”
Edgar smiled a little, then took a step back and corrected his posture.
“Well, you’re safe, Knights Chief. Welcome home.
“Yes, I’m back.”
Thus, the chief of the knights returned to the Silver Phoenix Order.
“…… Where is this place?”
Zachariah, a knight of the Goblin Clan, looked up at the ceiling in a vague manner.
What he remembers is that he was moving on the palm of the magpie. Afterwards, there was a faint memory when the story of having encountered something was certainly heard.
But before he could see anything, he lost consciousness in the strong inertia and wind.
“Did the customer wake up? Wait, I’ll tell the Knights Chief.”
When he was confused because he couldn’t figure out the situation, the attendant called him. A little while, Eru is coming.
“Mr. Zachariah. It’s safe and above all. When I saw that the palms of the heron were dripping from all over my face, I thought it was no good.”
“Even with this… I’m training as a knight. So, what’s this place?”
“Flying ship. It is in the flying ship that we people in the west use. Do you want to stand up?”
After lightly confirming that his body was safe, Zachariah nodded and got out of bed. Eru grabbed a guide, and then they followed.
From there it was a succession of greatest surprises in his life.
A huge container machine with unknown uses that leak the glow of the rainbow color. Phantom Knight in the ship’s hold. What is also called the Flying Knight, Phantom Knight. From him who was accustomed to seeing, he had a strange, half-man half-fish figure.
Is this the power of the legendary west?
“To the legend. All the knights came here looking for me.”
The knowledge and experience in Zachariah alone cannot be estimated at all, both in the full picture of this knighthood and its power. This little boy who is the head of the knights leading it.
We didn’t underestimate him, but we had an equal relationship. Zachariah was grateful for his King’s decision now.
People were gathered in the center of the ship’s hold. Addy’s boss, and each squadron leader. Next to them, a small magician was chatting with the members. Albeit the first giant to come into contact with the members of the Silver Phoenix Knights, the little magician was relatively easily accepted. Certainly, the existence of the giant family is a threat. Nevertheless, the little magician is Eru and Addy’s disciple.
After all, it is a companion in the same standpoint from the knights. It was able to be easily solved. Eru and Zachariah were finally noticed, and the voices around them naturally died down.
Then Eru looked around and said, “The giant clan, the Kaerreus clan, Parl, and The Knight of the Goblin Clan, Zachariah. Silver Phoenix Knights, Squadron Leader Dietrich, Edgar. Captain David, the flagship Izumo. And I, Chief Of the Knights, Ernesti. It’s a gathering of representatives of each team.”
There are members of the hand-by-hand around, too. With everyone’s attention, Eru marked the beginning.
“Then, I would like to discuss our plans for the future.”
