159 9. Silf and gnome

"Ha, Keith-sama is really cool... I'm so jealous of Lucia Rose, who loves you so much."

Silf looks at the view from the window of Emerald's room. The Lord of the room is still dreaming.

Whether it's your usual expression, when you're angry, or when you're upset, it's all very well dressed... but the best part is the gentle smile I showed Lucia Arrows.

Sylf thinks he wants to be turned around like that.

"Ah, but... I brought Lucia Rose back, so I'm going back to the Marine Forest."

Sylf is depressed when he misses it.

"... am I going to follow Marine Forest?

I wonder if that's a pretty good idea, how dare Silf laugh. It's fun to have such a moment while you live for a long time.

The Philadelphia wind is very pleasant. I wonder how Marine Forest is blowing. "

When you think about it, you can see your chest bouncing.

Oh, what should I do?

Are you sure you want to leave Philadelphia and go to Marine Forest? The more you think about it, the faster Silver's chest sounds.

But at the next moment, the thought was obscured by a quiet voice.

"... Silf"

As soon as Silf opened his eyes to the voice he heard from behind, he turned around.

Gnome!! Do you know what you've done!?

Uuu......!

The sudden appearance of the gnome is a step back from the power of Silf.

And while I was teasing my hand, I said the excuse "I can't help it".

"Without her power, the fire of the flame spirit will go out...."

That's why there's something you shouldn't do.

"... it's okay, I'll return it as soon as I'm done."

Sylf sighs heavily in reply to Norm.

I don't think that's the problem.

"It's like a drawstring... ahh"

……

Silf walks in front of the gnome and takes the leaves that reach his hair.

Happy birthday. I can't believe I didn't notice this at all... "

Turn the leaves around and throw them out the window. In the wind, the leaves flew away.

"Ah, thank you...."

"You're welcome."

"... I knew I had to have a silf."

That's what Norm laughs at.

"If it weren't for Sylf, the Ellie Kingdom would be gone by now. Sylf has come between us and the Kingdom of Philadelphia, so we can get food. The silf is amazing...!

I am a spirit of earth and there is a people named Dwarf… Norm says nothing can be done without the help of Silf.

It's you......

Not so loud, before Sylf tried to say so - Norm made a bomb statement.

So, Sylf... I want you to resonate with Lucian Rose's magic!

Haaaa!?

Sylf can't hold his mouth open, just like Norm can't. If you resonate magically with Lucia Rose in her current state, she will run wild.

Sylf stares at the gnome, wondering if he knows that.

You can't do that!

"I really need the magic of Lucian Rose's fire."

"... strengthening the fire of the flame spirit with a runaway magic? Don't be ridiculous."

Silf truncated the rejection without listening.

Good judgment.

― Dear Keith!

The wind blows and Keith turns up in the room.

I cut the conversation with Craig because I felt the magic of earth in the venue. And I came to find a place.

Keith stares at the gnome with his cold eyes.

"Nice to finally meet you. How dare you grab my princess? Hey, Norm?

─!!

Dear Keith!

Surprised by Keith's sudden appearance, Norm backs away.

Who is it...?! No way... Lucia Rose's father!? "

Well, it's similar.

Because I am the daughter of Tiararose and Aquastead, who give blessings, so is my daughter.

"Ugh... I was just going to meet Sylf in secret."

I can't believe I ran into Lucia Arrows' guardian. As a result of the gnome falling, the back hits the wall of the room.

Now we can't distance ourselves from Keith. The Sylf next to Keith is also happening, and he won't let us out of the rescue ship.

"Don't think Lucia will forgive you."

Keith narrows his distance from the gnome and says, "What's going on? The door opened.

――

The door next to Norm's back was the door leading to the bedroom where Emerald was sleeping. What a bad timing, Keith whispers.

"Um, what does this mean?

For some reason, Emerald is confused by things like the Shura Hall in his room. And one of them is a gnome I've never even met.

Norm moved faster than everyone thought.

Ore Prison!

Kiaaaahh

Gnome used his magic and trapped Emerald in an ore cage. I didn't think it would be hard, and Silf opened his eyes.

Gnome, don't play games!! Let go of the emerald!!

I hate it! If Sylph had a magical resonance with Lucian Rose, he would let go. "

What are you doing......

Sylph grips his hand on an outrageous exchange condition.

"... you're kidding me. Get out of my way, Sylf."

Dear Keith......

Norm, let him go now.

The air in the field becomes heavier with Keith's voice without restraint. Tingling tightly, Sylf felt her body stopped moving.

Oh, I'm really angry.

Keith slowly goes to Gnome and uses his fans to use his Attack Magic. The impact blew the gnome and broke the wall - not a single scratch on the ore jail.

"You're not scared of my attack?"

Keith thinks it's just superior to defensive magic.

I thought I'd think about my next move, but before that, the knights who heard the noise came.

"Dear Emerald!?"

"What the hell is going on!?"

The knights look indoors and immediately hold their swords.

Emerald seems to have passed out in the cage, unconscious. But the knights don't know Silf and Norm, so Silf doesn't have the power to do anything about them.

The knights will know as much as Keith, a guest.

"Ugh... Sylf, until you hear my request... I'll keep this kid."

The gnome rose in staggering motion, scratching away every prison of ore as it melted into the ground.

Hearing a series of stories from Keith, Tiararose held his head. It's the same with the Aqua Steed next door, and I wonder what happened.

"... if Sylf doesn't resonate with Lucia, Norm won't let Emerald go..."

"That's what I'm talking about."

The fact that Emerald is not here is a serious problem. Because Emerald was the only royal man who knew the existence of the Spirit Silf.

The King had difficulty explaining because he thought that the silvers and spirits were ghosts.

The Tiararoses are all together, but Silf is under house arrest in a separate room.

"Princess Emerald needs help, but we can't put Lucia in danger. I wish there was some way..."

"Is it quick to solve the root cause?"

"Is it the fire of a burning spirit?

Ah.

Aquastead will give you a solution to Tiararose's words... but that's not easy.

The magic of Luciarose is the solution Norm thought of, so I don't think it's that easy to come up with a better way.

Uhhhh, when everyone bothered, Keith opened his mouth "for now."

"Tiara, go back to Marine Forest first. Or... is Rapis Lazuli safe? Better than being here."

"Sure, that's better. If we leave this problem alone and Lucia gets targeted again....."

Aquastead immediately agrees to Keith's proposal.

"But... I can't believe I'm going home first."

I was worried about Tiararose - when I tried to put it in my mouth, Aquastead's index finger touched my lips.

"I know how you feel, but I can't. Lucia's safety is our top priority right now."

"Ah...."

Happy with Aquastead's words.

The Emerald taken by the Gnome, the state of the Sylf, the future of the dwarves... there are too many things to worry about... the smallest lives we have to protect.

"Tiara, can you leave this to me and go back a step?

"I see. I will protect Lucia."

Reliable.

Aquastead smiled and hugged Tiararose.

Well then, let's decide what to do next. I'm staying here and clearing things up with Norm. Talmo continues to escort Tiara. Elliot remains my assistant. "

But then Aquastead shuts his mouth.

Elliot wanted to be his assistant and Keith to be with Tiararose... but Keith's face said Norm would never forgive him.

I wouldn't nod if I told you to go back with Tiararose.

Aquastead has no choice but to modify the maneuver.

"Talmo, Elliot and Tiara are waiting for you in Lapis Lazuli. However, the power of the gnome is unknown. Will you get in touch with Miss Acari and stay with me until I get back?

"Sure, it would be nice to have Akari-sama. I'm in touch with your father and waiting for Aqua at home."

"Oh, I'll catch up with you soon, so don't worry."

"Yes"

By the time we arrive at Lapis Lazuli's parents' house, we will be able to join Philline. Good timing.

"... instead of Aquastead, Tiararose will always protect you."

"As a guard knight, I won't let you touch a finger."

Elliot and Talmo nodded to Aquastead's conclusion and immediately agreed.

Tiararose Side doesn't seem to be a problem now.

"Now, about the central gnome... this is between me and Keith. Is everything all right?

"Oh, of course. They took our princess, and they have to pay for it."

Looking at Keith smiling, Tiararose took a breath.

Not that I can forgive the gnome who took Lucia Rose, but when I think of these two as opponents... I feel a little sympathetic.
