#763 Thank you for your cooperation.

When did you meet her?
Where was the first time you saw it?
I didn’t remember clearly.
His consciousness at the time was quite blurry, probably because he had neglected sleep and food and ran away in order to avoid being pursued.
But in the meantime.
I knew it as soon as I saw it.
how strong she is
And…
…that Maia, Princess of the Green Dragon, is a fierce enemy and nemesis who can never be compatible with herself.
why is she the enemy
why should i hate you
I didn’t even know why.
Just the resentment that soared from the depths of my heart, the hatred, the disgust, the hostility.
Because it naturally made me hate her.
That’s why she couldn’t hold back that deep and dull anger, and in the end…
* * *
Crackle.
in a sweet scent.
Charlotte opened her eyes.
What you see is a scenery that passes by quickly.
The wasteland, where only dry weeds sparsely grow on the dry brown ground, is so desolate that it makes you feel desolate just by looking at it.
But she didn’t feel that desolation.
It was because there was something that caught my eye faster and clearer than the scenery outside the window.
Macaroni with Cheese.
Pie with chicken soup.
Even bread topped with bacon and poached eggs.
Compared to the relatively simple appearance, it is strangely eye-catching and heart-wrenching.
It was when Charlotte blinked involuntarily while looking at the dish that made her feel like she was still dreaming.
“You’re disqualified as a maid for falling asleep on duty.”
“…What’s this?”
“What? I was hungry, but there was no maid to cook for me, so I just saved myself.”
“This is all the main…you made it yourself?”
“Since I’ve been eating out every day these days, I’ve been missing home-cooked meals a little.”
Compared to the past, armored trains these days have a pretty good kitchen, so it wasn’t too difficult.
Looking at Limon, a man with gray hair, talking in a wheelchair.
Charlotte was silent.
That Limon cooked it himself.
That he was asleep until this uproar.
And even the nasty look of Limon, who is leisurely eating food alone in front of himself.
Everything left Charlotte at a loss for words.
Did you feel her gaze?
Limon, who stopped the moving fork, said casually.
“If it’s okay, why don’t we eat together?”
‘Can I really eat it, Master?!’
say…
It was with superhuman endurance that he was able to swallow the voice that almost jumped out of his throat.
This man is not his master, but a traitor and a swindler.
Charlotte, who had calmed down to some extent after thinking about it over and over again, turned her head and
said as if chewing… no, actually biting her lips.
“I do not need.”
“Hmm yes? It turned out pretty tasty.”
“Note… I guess the food you cooked was delicious.”
“I’m sorry you have no idea.”
‘If I’m really sorry, I’ll have to ask for more, you heartless master!’
Contrary to his regretful words, it was a while to stare at Limon, who continues to eat alone, like a cold-blooded man who is second to none in the world.
Forcing her eyes to return to the food, she said coldly.
“It’s really nice to be able to sell it to cook in this yard.”
“After all, there is nothing else to do until we reach the fairy kingdom.”
“If you have a lot of free time, why don’t you at least play the violin? The master who is at least one of the best violinists in the world.”
“There’s nothing I can’t do if you want it.”
“…Hey, who wants to hear the master play?”
I even said something sarcastic at best.
Far from being offended, Limon smiled as if he were watching a playful puppy.
Charlotte, who was only hurt by his relaxed attitude, frowned.
And after a short silence, he opened his mouth again.
“I won’t ask why you… are you helping the Seven Dragons. Just tell me one thing instead.”
whether it’s for money
Or maybe it’s because of the power.
A renowned hero and defender of mankind has many reasons to help an evil organization like the Seven Dragons.
I didn’t bother to ask about it.
but only one.
must know
The fact that I want to hear the answer.
Charlotte asked softly.
“What’s your relationship with the green dragon princess, Swordsman?”
Listening to the question that came with a particularly heavy voice.
Limon, who had been calmly eating the food until now, stopped and slowly raised his head.
Then he looked into Charlotte’s eyes and said.
“She is my bride.”
“…Oh yeah?”
unexpected.
But, of course, to hear the answer you should have expected.
After remaining silent for a long time, she finally muttered with a cold snort.
“I can see why you became the dog of the Seven Dragons.”
‘pup.’
Turning her head away from the man bewitched by the mere beauty world, Charlotte bit her lip.
In fact, if you think about it objectively.
Obsessed with money and power.
Are you obsessed with women?
It was there.
No, it could have been rather sublime if they had truly fallen in love with each other and sorted out their old grudge.
But Charlotte ruled out that possibility.
To the subject who had seduced herself by pretending to do this or that favour.
In fact, the thought of another woman, and even a married man who had been engaged to the green dragon princess, made my stomach boil and I couldn’t stand it.
So it was.
Hearing the sound that followed, her eyes lit up.
Weiying.
[Emergency emergency.]
[Warning. Corruption spirits approaching this train have been detected, and from now on, all vehicles are switched to an emergency response posture.] [All
passengers, please sit in your seats, fasten your seatbelts, and prepare for impact.]
Machine sounds.
Iron plate covering the windows.
A turret that rotates sideways.
It is indeed EK’s armored train.
Even though it was lacking compared to the transcontinental train, the response was extremely quick and accurate.
It was enough to shake off or repulse one or two fallen spirits.
Despite knowing that fact, Charlotte took up the case.
It was rather luck that the target plates appeared that I could destroy as much as I wanted when I wanted to vent this seething anger.
At least she thought so.
Koo Goo Goo Palace.
“…?”
…until I heard a vibration that was a little different from the vibration of the train.
What does this mean?
She frowned and looked out the window inadvertently.
And muttered like a moan.
“This crazy.”
“Hmm, more than I thought.”
“Is it going to end with just saying that there are more than I thought? The fallen spirits are forming the sea!”
A building spirit resembling a rock giant.
A bombardment spirit resembling a beetle.
A transport spirit resembling a dolphin.
In addition, the weather spirit, the sand spirit, the planting spirit, and so on.
Looking at the dust clouds created by hundreds or thousands of spirits that are difficult to count individually, Charlotte exclaimed.
Of course, not all of those spirits are high-ranking.
But numbers are violence.
In front of that steel army that would swallow up any country in an instant, the armed train was like a leaf in front of a typhoon.
However, Limon was not nervous even in front of such an army of fallen spirits.
I just spoke calmly.
“Nothing to worry about. It will be resolved soon.”
“…what does that mean?”
“I know when I see it.”
I would have understood if he had said he would rather solve it himself.
He is the Sword Master.
As if it wiped out dozens of armored vehicles.
It was because he was a superhuman who could deal with dozens or hundreds of fallen spirits.
However, I couldn’t understand how he was eating calmly without moving from his wheelchair, as if he didn’t even need to step out.
That was the moment.
what sound was heard.
[Anyway, aren’t you treating your pet too harshly?
]
[You’ve already worked hard, right? It’s because of who the team leader’s train hasn’t met a single spirit!]
“Even if you block 99 bullets, if you can’t block 1 bullet, escorting is meaningless.”
[Oh, he really doesn’t have a conscience.]
Confused as to where this sound was coming from, Charlotte immediately opened her eyes wide.
getting food
After hearing the light flapping of wings.
It was because I saw a blue shadow passing in front of the window.
“…Bluebell?”
Jenny came to pick it up.
I grew up in the store.
brought on this trip.
And the blue bird, which I thought Limon had put in the luggage compartment in a cage, because it had been invisible for a while.
When Charlotte blinks as she sees Bluebell flying towards the fallen spirits.
sound rang again.
[Ah mic test. Microphone test.]
“….”
[Spirits. Attention everyone!]
Only then did Charlotte realize.
That the owner of this voice was that blue bird.
But that’s why I couldn’t understand it any more.
Putting aside the fact that there were talking birds, he proudly stood in the way of the fallen spirits.
[This train is not a target. So please refrain from all hostilities. I’ll say it again. This train is not a target.]
‘Nonsense. There’s no way the spirits would back down if I said something like that…’
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gung.
“…?!”
[Thank you for your cooperation.]
Charlotte opened her mouth.
And after several times of purring, he let out a trembling voice.
“Could it be the spirit water?”
“That is correct.”
“…Master, are you crazy? Growing a spirit tree isn’t enough, so I’m sending my aunt to keep an eye on me!”
Charlotte questioned Limón, who so readily expressed her affirmation to his unexpected words even while he was talking.
“Nothing to worry about. Our blue guy is not a bad spirit beast.”
“Is that a problem now?!”
“That’s the problem. In fact, it’s so convenient because there’s a good spirit beast, right?”
It seems like when did you rush to live?
Legions of fallen spirits opened the way wide while retreating to the left and right of the railroad.
The armored train passing between them without shelling, even though it was judged to have escaped the emergency situation.
And even the blue bird that pops up on the table and eats Limon’s food.
Seeing the sight that in many ways made it feel unrealistic, Charlotte finally touched her temple.
‘Why was such a human being called the protector of mankind…?’
He joins hands with the Demonic Cult, the Seven Dragons,
hiding his identity and playing with women’s hearts.
He even kept the spirit beast that caused the spirit uprising as a pet.
No matter how you look at it, she fiercely glanced at a man who, let alone a protector of mankind, was more suitable for a great villain or final boss who would destroy the world.
Limon quietly opened his mouth.
“Finally, you can see it slowly.”
“What do you see?”
“What is it? It is our destination.”
[uh? Really?]
Upon hearing that, Charlotte suddenly came to her senses.
Only then did he realize.
There was a reason why the fallen spirits who couldn’t even peep their noses while passing through the wilderness were crowded here.
That’s why she clung to the window and looked at the blue bird that came up on top of her head before she knew it.
A wasteland that had been stretched out until now.
The green town that suddenly appeared at the end.
No, to be exact, the brilliant light that can be seen beyond the thick forest.
“That place…”
“Yes. That place is the best kingdom in history and the starting point of human civilization.”
As an immortal sword master, it is a place where even you, who have lived a long time among humans, feel a sense of eternity.
Looking at the magnificent and antique city that is dyeing the forest that should have been originally green in golden light.
Limon quietly finished his speech.
“This is El Dorado, the fairy kingdom.”
