Heavenly Castle

Chapter 36



Imperial Country of Fleida】

A week since the black object attacked the Eastern Fortress, the rumors about it became well-known among the masses.

Imperial Country of Fleida, a powerful force that even Blau Empire, which was expanding its influence with great vigor, hesitated to attack. No matter what the facts were, because there was that conceit, people didn’t feel particularly threatened with the talks about the new kind of golem, the drone.

However, despite it being a mysterious flying object, it appeared so frequently that even that small sense of a threat that existed was on the verge of disappearing.

And when the drone descended from the sky, as usual, taking it as a signal, around ten soldiers and a man in a turban and black outfit rushed over there.

「It came today as well.」

「Aah, so we will have to watch this thing for the whole day again…」

The soldiers had lost most of their motivation during the week and were now grumbling and only the man in black is observing the black object while floating in the air.

「Hmm, how mysterious. It seems to be flying by using four wing-like parts, but their movements look nothing like those of a wing.」

As the black object and the man in black clothes were peacefully flying through the sky, there were children chasing after them on the ground.

「They seem to be going for the outer wall today!」

「The first one to get there wins!」

The children, who took the mysterious flying object to be their plaything, are running around happily and the majority of the adults are looking at them with smiles.

Although some residents and soldiers still had a sense of danger, they couldn’t appeal to it for long amid such an unconcerned atmosphere.

Even the practitioner, who keeps monitoring the drone, tried various approaches for the first two days, but eventually gave up on it.

All that they can do is poke it with a stick because of the translucent sphere protecting the drone.

「…How strange. It moves as if has a will, but no matter how you look at it, this is not a living creature. Is this a new golem after all?」

Mumbled the greatly puzzled practitioner.

And then, came two very luxurious horse carriages. Surrounding them were soldiers on horseback.

「Halt!」

As a horseman with a cloak, who was riding at the front, issued a command the carriages and the horses stopped.

At that sight, the people in the surroundings dropped to their knees in hurry and lowered their heads, the soldiers, who were observing the drone, also dropped to one knee.

As silence descended upon the surroundings in the blink of an eye, one of the soldiers opened the door of the carriage. Then, everyone with the exception for one person turned their eyes to the ground.

「You are in the presence of His Imperial Highness the Prince! Lower your heads!」

When a horseman, who got off the horse, raised his voice, a man showed up from the carriage.

A man in his twenties with distinct facial features. A bit of black hair stuck out from the hat that looked like a cloth wrapped around the head. Clothing of rich orange color and white leather shoes without a single speck of dirt gave a striking impression.

When the man got off the carriage and turned his head to the sky he noticed the drone floating in the air.

「Heeh! So that is the tiny flying golem!」

Exclaimed the man in admiration and then discovered another dark shadow flying behind the drone.

「Ditzen!」

When the man said that, the practitioner floating behind the drone waved with one hand. Seeing the practitioner’s indifferent attitude, the man folded his arms in displeasure.

「Ditzen! You are unfair! I cannot fly in the sky! Let me see that thing up close!」

His shout was almost child-like in its content, but hearing those words one of the soldiers raised his head in panic and looked at the man called Ditzen.

「Pra-Practitioner-dono!」

Ditzen, who was called by two people, narrowed his eyes like the whole thing was very tiresome to him, and looking at the ground sighed.

「Your Highness… You shouldn’t do something so dangerous… Approaching such a strange object is the same as throwing one’s life away… Therefore, if someone is ought to become sacrifice then I alone am enough.」

「Such a blatant lie! I’ve heard that you’ve been doing this for a week?! Weren’t you just hogging it to yourself?!」

「No, it’s just that using a levitation spell for two people is exhausting.」

「What a man! Such insolence!」

The man’s face showed his astonishment by Ditzen’s excessively honest reply.

But he soon changed his expression to a broad smile.

「Ooh, I thought up a great idea! Can’t you just fly carrying me?! This way it will be enough to use levitation magic on only one person! Isn’t that a marvelous idea?」

When the man said that in a good spirit, Ditzen shook his head horizontally with a displeased face.

「No.」

「Why!」

The man was shocked to be denied with just one word. Looking down, Ditzen clicked his tongue.

「Did you just click your tongue at me?!」

「No, that’s absurd.」

「Shit, getting all cocky because you can fly… Mm, that’s right!」

Saying so, the man looked back at the carriage lined up behind.

「Yuri!」

When the man called the name, the door of another carriage opened and a woman with long black hair appeared from inside. She wore a vermilion dress with delicate embroidery and had a sash wrapped around her waist. A beautiful woman with a feminine body of proportions that were clearly recognizable even through the clothes, however, her expression had a serene air to it.

「Did you want something, Yanual-niisama?」

A woman called Yuri says in a gentle tone. Residents and soldiers, who were bowing down, tried trying to steal a glance at Yuri with her gentle aura and appearance filled with charm.

For some reason, even the drone has stopped moving.

「Yuri. Fly me over there. I want to see it up close.」

When Yanual answered, Yuri, looked at the direction he pointed.

「To that black object? Oh, there is Ditzen-sama in such a place… I didn’t notice him because of the same black color. Ditzel-sama, how are you?」

Looking at carefree Yuri, Yanual snorted with a sour look.

「Hmpf. Ignore that insolent fellow. I will kick his shin later. Come on, rather than that, get me into the sky.」

「Oh, kicking his shin, how cruel… Ah, you requested for a flight, right. Well then excuse me.」

Yuri, who was doing things at her own pace, closed her eyes after saying that. And after murmuring something quietly opened them.

「Yes, please fly.」

「Oh, Oh…」

With a nonchalant sign from her, Yanual rose up into the sky.

However, contrary to Yuri’s soft atmosphere, Yanual was flying around the drone at bullet-like speed.

「Mgh, Mummmmm…! How is this, Ditzen! Isn’t my little sister amazing?!」

With Yanual flying around him and the drone, Ditzen sighed with half closed eyes.

「…Airhead siblings.」

【Taiki】

The scene shown on the screen made me, Ayla and Mea, who by accident was around for cleaning, stop moving from amazement.

「…Imperial Country of Fleida is a strange country.」

When I expressed my impression, Mea shortly agreed.

「Strange.」

As I made a wry smile hearing Mea’s one-word reply, Ayla tilted her head in puzzlement.

「…I don’t know much about Imperial Country of Fleida because we didn’t have much contact with it, but maybe not getting involved with it was the right thing to do.」

Ayla blurted out an unexpected mockery, making Mea turn away with round eyes.

Looking at the black-haired men on the screen, who gradually were turning blue, I slightly pull my jaw.

「It appears to be a peaceful country. I especially would like to talk with those siblings.」

When I said that, Ayla and Mea narrowed their eyes.

「She had a very feminine figure.」

「Her tits were huge」

Apparently, I have created a big misunderstanding.

Covered in cold sweat I sought help from A1. However, A1 did not even try to look this way.
