Chapter 189 Ghost Troup

Part 1

And then, we made it to Vettant, one of the five largest cities in Zebrudia, without any major deviation from our schedule.

It is a city that won’t lose against the Imperial Capital. The outer walls were thick and the inside of the city was hygienic, and the people who passed by looked somewhat sophisticated.

I didn’t know this, but apparently, Vettant is the home of the state-of-the-art airship depot where only the most important people of the Empire are allowed to board.

Airship. As the name implies it is a ship that flies in the sky. I don’t know how it can fly when it isn’t even a Relic, but it seems it was created thanks to the fusion of science and magic technology. Its shape seems to be based on a flying ship Relic that was once discovered, and I am personally very interested in it.

But first I have to take all the precautions possible.

I *pekopeko* bowed to Franz-san, who was relieved that we had arrived in Vettant on time, and told him that I needed some time.

.

I understand that it isn’t exactly the norm for the escort to ask the client for something like that, but this is for the Emperor’s protection.

If the airship falls, I will only be able to somehow pick up the Emperor and fly away. Kruz and the others will probably fly on their own anyway. Because they are Magi. And I am sure Franz-san and the others will do their best somehow. Because they are the Imperial Guards.

The change in Franz-san’s expression was obvious as I spoke about this in a rather vague manner.

For a moment he was stunned, then turned red, and then raised his voice to yell at me. I just kept lowering my head in response to the screaming, which made my head hurt. I am not proud of it, but I am very used to being angry at.

When I insisted that I needed some time to prepare without giving any particular reason, Franz-san showed no signs of relenting. In the meantime, the one who interjected was His Majesty the Emperor.

“Franz, it is alright. We have plenty of time. Murina is also a little tired from the long journey.” (Radrick)

“But, Your Majesty. It is dangerous to stay in one place. The “Fox (Kitsune)” could attack at any momen――” (Franz)

“Eh? Why?” (Cry)

“Why you say...... Yowaningen, I am sure there are at least a few tricks that you don’t want to be seen, desu. Because practice sessions also give a massive amount of information, desu.” (Kruz)

Kruz is really a good girl...... But it’s alright. There is nothing that will pose a problem even if it was seen! And in the first place, who would put Magic into the carpet, shirt, and Barrier Rings if not Kruz?

I might show some of my pathetic sides but that is what practice is all about. With just her neck, Kruz pointed behind her. Over there was a man wearing all black and “Kekeke” smiling suspiciously.

“I don’t know why he followed you, but I think it would be better if Kecha leaves too, desu.” (Kruz)

“No, I don’t mind if both of you are here. Well, I am sure it is not the most interesting thing to watch, but...... It is going to be dangerous, so you should stay back a little bit. Today, I will be――A little bit more serious!” (Cry)

“!?” (Kruz)

Even I can do it when I want to. I adjust my breathing and stretch my arms and legs. (Although it didn’t have a face) The rebellious carpet looks like he had leeway.

Just know that you will only be able to afford to be like that now. Just know that I managed to ride the 『Dark Wings of the Night Sky』 that was able to kill Hunters. I would have died if I didn’t have my Barrier Rings though.

The 『Rebellious Carpet』 provoked me by moving his right hand a little bit as if it was telling me “Come and get me”. I strongly clenched my fist.

Could it be that this carpet...... Is more valuable than a mere 『Flying Carpet』 because of its violence?

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!” (Cry)

I let out a roar that even I thought was quite weak and jumped on the carpet.

The moment my right hand grabbed the right corner of the carpet, the carpet flew up into the air with great force, and I hit my head on the ceiling with great force and died.
