269 Episode 0269



You must be feeling the attention of the people around you. But Elena doesn't care about it and turns her gaze to the person who probably caused the disturbance.
 Renojis-Imagen He is the head of the next Marquis Imagen family, and although he is powerful, he tends to look down on others.
 While remembering the personality of the person in front of you in that way, you put magic into the connected sword in your hand and put it back into the sheath of your lower back.

"If you think there is any disturbance... Renojis, what are you doing to my men and guests?"

 with a start
 Renojis' body reacts involuntarily to the words muttered without even the slightest hint of emotion.
 Renojis basically thinks others are to be used by him, but he is not stupid enough to defy the daughter of the Duke of Quelebel, who is a superior aristocrat and a leading figure in the aristocracy. And in battle, Elena decides it's dangerous to make a disturbance as long as she's equal to him. Most of all, she's going to be her wife in the future.
 However, evenness in battle was determined by Renojis' high pride, but it was true that he did not have the personality he had now if he could admit it.
 Shake your head with a smile, leaving the sword cut in the middle of the blade.

"Such a stern face, Elena, will ruin your beautiful face. That's...

 As he says so, he turns his eyes to the Arras.
 I understood that Arra would make Elena uncomfortable if she said she was against her here. Because Arra has been Elena's best friend since she was a child. To Renojis, the fox that borrows the power of the tiger... or, no, the lizard that borrows the power of the dragon, nevertheless, he wished not to offend Elena, who was seeking to make her his wife in the future. The gaze then turns to Ray, who was next to Arla.

(It seems that you wear some kind of magic item, but it doesn't seem to be such a high-ranking magic item. The clothes he wears under his robe are extremely poor. That is to say, he is not a nobleman, but an adventurer in this place, which is supposed to be a battlefield.)

 He instantly turns to Ray and decides so.
 Recognizing that Ray's dragon robe was a magic item rather than a regular robe would demonstrate Renojis' ability. However, even though I knew it was a magic item, I couldn't understand how great a dragon lobe was because it was so effective in concealing it.

"Because the adventurous spirit there did not distinguish me from my station." I thought of giving him a little lesson."

 The words of Renojis slightly twist Elena's eyebrows.
 Seeing it, Arra was hurling all kinds of abuse at Renojis, who had stepped over the mine in her heart.
 Ray certainly doesn't look like a peer, Renojis. But Ray is the man whom his lord, Elena, adores. Especially after sending Yero to the city of Gilm, he insulted Ray more than anything in front of Elena, who had come to show her her face as a maiden.

(We've got to get it right here...)

 Arra was always the first to run wild, but she knew what would happen if Elena and Renojis were to make a duel here. I guess we're growing more recently than before.

"The adventurer is my acquaintance," I suppose it is of course the same for me to point my sword at that acquaintance?"
"...no, if you are an acquaintance of Mr. Elena, I will settle for it."

 He must have realized the folly of confronting Elena head on, let alone an adventurer. Renojis pulls back the broken sword in the middle of the blade.
 But I never forgot to stare at Ray with a keen eye at the end.

(I don't think I have anything to do with this case, but why are you staring at me?)

 For Ray, as I muttered to myself, the matter went on and settled in a place that had nothing to do with him. But why are you staring at me, not at the arra that caused it? I thought if I were to be entangled in a noble family because of myself, but I knew better than not to mention it here.
 The biggest reason, however, is that it would have been even more troublesome if Renojis heard it.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Elena," I've caused you unnecessary trouble."
"You don't have to worry. His actions were beyond my control, so it would have been quite advantageous to have left him alone here. ...but Ray, it's been a long time."

 Elena nods gracefully to Aarra and smiles to Ray, who approaches her.
 At the same time, those who watch a series of events all around them are shocked to see Elena's smiling face, regardless of gender.
 It's not a smile as a princess general. I knew instinctively that it was a smile as a woman named Elena Kerebel.
 Then I went on to wonder who the smile was, but the adventurer with the Gryphon couldn't stand out more than 100,000 of the army of the Kingdom of Milliana, even though the majority didn't know Ray's name. With rumors circulated by Dusker, who decided it was inevitable that Ray would stand out, that he was a covert ball from the neutral frontier Count Larcks.

"Oh, I'm glad you look well, too. I was a little nervous when I sent him back, but he seems to have arrived safely."
"Well, let me read a letter from Ray. -- well, there were many more to be had he said.

 Elena's mental image of Kenny and Lenora through the yellow for a moment came to mind, but perhaps because it was only for a moment, there was nothing particular about the atmosphere. But...

(Dear Elena...)

 Arra, who had known Elena since she was a child, could easily understand such an unusual situation.
 Still, I don't think I'll say anything special because I'm still fascinated with Elena.

"Well, I don't mind if we're talking in this kind of place like this. Why don't you come to my tent? I want to know what Ray has been doing since then."

 the tent of Elena The words stirs the people around me again. The adventurers, knights, and soldiers around the Elenas were not well understood, but in a way it was only natural to be surprised at the nobles who knew what it meant. Contrary to her good looks, Elena had no shadow of a man. Or even if you called a man into your room, it was just to call in his men and colleagues as Elena, the princess general. But no one would think that way because they saw Elena's smile only a few seconds ago.

"Well, yes. I'd certainly like to do that myself."

 muttering Ray's gaze into the sky. It's too early to call it sunset, but I can still see it coming to the end of the afternoon.

"Huh? What's wrong with you? Did you have anything to do? Then I wouldn't force you to do it."
"...no, no problem. I only have about half an hour to prepare meals, is that all right?"

 Elena looked lonely for a moment at Ray's words, but it disappeared in an instant. The next moment he returns to his usual Elena and nods that there is no problem.

"Of course I don't mind," I can't say too much to Ray, who is employed by Dus

 Say so, and follow Ray along.

"Now, my dear Ray," Let's go, too. Mr. Elena's tent is ahead."
"Well, set."
"Glu".

 Responding to Ray's call, Seto wags his tail and carries a yellow on his back, making his way through the aristocratic camp as if it were his own walking trail.Those who watched the scene looked at him in a wide variety of ways. Who gives a look of amazement to Ray, who is accompanied by a high-ranking monster called Gryphon, who envies being able to talk to a beautiful woman like Elena, and who is also caught in the eye by Yero, a small dragon on Seto's back. ...and the view of several nobles that it is unforgivable to say friendly words to General Hime, whose adventurous atmosphere is also a symbol of their aristocracy.
 With such glances on their backs, Ray and others are guided by Elena.

(Even though they were aristocrats, they were all ten different colors.)

 What lay in Ray's mind, muttering inward, was Siminal Ghapsos, whom he met on the hill. The difference between the Counts and the Marquises, but the way they treated Renojis, on second thought, had caused a great surprise in Ray. However, it was probably because the two nobles who had just met were both extremes.
 You must have found yourself thinking like that. Arra goes on without saying anything in particular... before long a tent comes into Ray's view.

"Oh, again,"

 The tent used by Ray's employer, Dusker, was also a luxury item. Ray opened his eyes in surprise at the time, but what is in front of him now is clearly a premium magic item, rather than a comparison to what Dusker used.

"It is absolutely necessary for her to act as a princess general." So do you, and so do the cabsaid he.

 a carriage and horse standing beside a tent Originally, horses such as war horses and packhorses were usually kept in the same place, but since Elena's horses were also magically modified as war horses, they were kept on the side of the tent as a guard against those who sneaked into Elena's tent at night -- including those who wanted to crawl at night and assassins of the Empire of Bestia.

"Come in and tell me over a cup of tea." Oh, of course, you don't mind letting me in."

 Elena, who knows the relationship between Ray and Seto, opens the door to the tent without particular concern.
 Even Elena saw her favorite horse, which was created as a first-class military horse, care about Seto.
 We used to go to the dungeon together, but it seems that we weren't used to the Gryphon Seto for that long. However, in this case, he is not accustomed to the existence of Seto because he is a military horse with a high ability to sense danger. In fact, in the twilight Wheat-tei stable where Ray is staying in the town of Gillum, the horse and other demons get used to the presence of Seto in a few days... or rather, the sense of crisis is paralysed and the noise is reduced. Still, the fact that it doesn't completely calm down may be indicative of Seto's presence.

"Grull".

 For Seto, too, he goes into the tent with no particular objection because he doesn't intend to frighten the horses.
 And...

"I thought it was quite a thing when I looked at it from the outside, but when I actually went inside, it was quite different from the tent we were using."

 Ray muttering in admiration, looking around the tent.
 The tent looked only about 10 tatami mats in size from the outside, but when you go inside, the room is light and over 20 tatami mats. And even the furniture in the tent is not something to be used in a battlefield. It's a much more luxurious interior than the horse-drawn carriage Ray used to go to the dungeon.

"It's a gift from my father. It's not uncommon for me to go to war, as long as I'm called a princess general. though this is the first time I have been given this tent."
"...this tent was prepared as a reward for Mr. Elena's successful succession." Originally, as a princess general, Elena can be called a symbol of the aristocracy, but now she has the power of an entrepreneur dragon. That's probably why they wanted to avoid being looked at strangely by others when they showed their power. This tent is one of the magic items possessed by the Duke and Duchess of Kelebel, but it should be inherited by the head of the family."

 You probably thought Elena's words were not enough. Arla spins words to supplement her tea as she prepares it.

"Well, I don't think this war in particular will end up as a skirmish as before. That's probably why my father gave me this tent, which had been handed down to us."
"...the Duke of Kelebel wants Elena to come back safe." That is why he has sent Mr. Filma, his right-hand man and the Knight Commander of the Knights of Quelevel. Now, I've made some tea, so please go to the sofa."

 Ray and Elena sit down on the sofa in the tent, encouraged by Arra. She then lies on the floor beside Ray.
 This reminds her of her previous trip to the dungeon, where she placed a cup of tea on the table with a faint smile.
