Chapter 11: The Strongest Onmyouji Master, Getting Down
The dragonās ride was not so bad compared to that of the Ayakashi.
In the sky, the wind is indeed strong and it is cold even though itās summer.
But after all, itās the same with Mizuchi, and you can feel comfortable to some extent without charms.
As long as there is little shaking, thatās all that matters.
āWell, and ā¦ā
I look at the city below with a formulaic vision.
I wonder where to landā¦ā¦. I guess Iād prefer to do so outside the city walls, but itās a long walk to the Governorās official residence.
Rather, it might be better to go directly to the official residence.
Thereās a big yard there, and it wonāt frighten the livestock or wagon horses.
āCan you get down inside the walls?ā
āGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!ā
The dragon roars.
I donāt know if itās yes or no, but ā¦ā¦ probably yes. I have a feeling thatās what it is.
āOkay, over there!ā
The lighted hitogata, which had been acting as a guide, is being lowered into the city.
The dragon neatly followed it down to altitude.
At that time.
The Shikigami that I left on the mountain captured an unpleasant scene.
I frown.
Coming now ⦠I think thatās what it is.
I canāt even say Iām going home now.
Well, it looks like weāll have some time left, and itās enough to go to the official residence and then return to the mountains.
Iām tired of babysitting the egg all by myself.
The dragon lowers its left wing and circles to the left, descending into the city.
The vast official residence of the Governor gradually approaches.
Just a few feet from the ground, the dragon spread its wings wide and gripped the atmosphere.
The magic of atmospheric pressure is activated. The huge body lands boldly in the garden of the Governorās official residence, violently scattering the dense air that has been created.
I take a breath and look up.
I noticed.
āAhā¦ā¦ā
Right in front of us, on the second floor of the official residence, was a large room with an open window.
Perhaps they were at work, but several well-dressed people were looking at us with stunned expressions.
Documents and gold coins, which appeared to have been on the desk, were scattered with a flourish by the gust of wind caused by the dragon.
Wow, Iām sorry about that. ā¦ā¦
Hmm, is that a retinue of forest elf?ćThat means ā¦ā¦ that Prince Cecilio is there, too, after all.
It was just right.
Itās a little rude, but time is short and we have no choice.
āExcuse me for barging in, ladies and gentlemen!ćIām Seika!ćIām back now!ā
With the wind still blowing from the pressure difference, I raise my voice.
āIām in a hurry, so excuse me for being this way!ćWell, to make a long story short, Iāve befriended ā¦ā¦ the dragon.ā
Everyone was stunned and speechless.
I was a little anxious, but I told them what I wanted to talk about anyway.
āI found out the cause of this problem! Iād like to explain, and I apologize for the abruptness, but could someone please come with me to the top of the mountain?ćPreferably someone who can use fire magic, it would be very helpful!ā
Sure enough, there is no answer.
The prince, the forest elf, and the other humans are all frozen at a great distance from the window.
ā¦iām in trouble.
Or perhaps it was indeed a bad idea to come straight down with the dragonā¦ā¦.
I would like to get back soon, but I donāt know what I came back for if I donāt at least get someone who can help me: ā¦ā¦.
āā¦ā¦ Ah.ā
At that time.
One girlās figure caught my eye.
What!, there you are.
Then sheās fine. She can handle flames as well. I really wanted an Astilian person to come, but everyone is scared and canāt help it.
