Chapter 82 – Car
“Why is that? Just like someone who’s seen something scary.”
Ozma tilted his head as he said that, but I couldn’t help but laugh.
It was because he couldn’t come up with a reason why the hero would suddenly die.
According to the original plan, he should have been alive for at least a few more months, but this will derail the original plan.
Rather than that, the appearance of a new hero has now become a definite matter.
After handing the scroll to Ozma, who was curious about its contents, I asked the soldier.
“How many people can ride on the wyvern you rode on?”
“Yes? Oh, two people is the limit.”
Then, at least one more person will be burned.
“Okay, I’ll get it. I’ll pack my things, so please wait a moment.”
While I was saying that, I was about to go to collect the things I had left at Gav’s mansion, when Ozma, who had read the contents of the scroll belatedly, hurriedly followed.
“The hero died, what do you mean? Wasn’t the hero executed?”
The fact that the hero was alive and not dead was top-secret information that only a few people knew even within the Demon King’s army.
Even Ozuma, the real daughter of the demon king, didn’t seem to know that.
“Speaking, the story is getting longer, so let’s talk as we go.”
I turned around and hurried my steps.
***
After briefly hearing the circumstances, Ozma muttered with a serious expression.
“So you mean, you intentionally kept the hero alive to prevent the next hero from appearing?”
“Yes. That’s why the current situation is even more embarrassing. Unless the hero committed suicide, it is unthinkable that there would be anyone who could break into the dungeon that was so tightly guarded and kill the hero.”
Then Ozma furrowed her brow.
“Is there a traitor inside?”
“That would be difficult. Not only is the entrance to the place where the hero is imprisoned hidden, but they say that you cannot enter at all unless accompanied by one or more guards. Not to mention, the Demon King knows the importance of the hero well, so there is no way he would have just let him die.”
The fact that the warrior party was destroyed was known a month or two earlier than expected.
From the perspective of the Demon King’s army, which is planning an invasion of the kingdom next year, a new hero will be born to oppose him, so it can only be described as bad news.
As soon as we arrived at Gav’s mansion, we were about to pack up and leave.
Then, the owner of the house, Gav, asked what was going on in bewilderment, and when he told me that he couldn’t tell me why, he said he had to go back to the castle right away, and he smiled and suggested it.
“If you’re in such a hurry, I’ll take you to the Devil’s Castle.”
This is an unexpected offer.
It was because Wyvern said that it could only carry a maximum of two people, so I was thinking about whether I should go back first and Ozma and Camilla should return to the Devil Castle separately.
When she returns to her dragon form, three people should be able to ride it easily.
“Then thank you, but are you okay? It’s not okay if the chief is away.”
Then Gav shrugged his shoulders and said.
“If that’s the case, it’s okay. The village is full of adults who are wiser than me. If something urgent happens, they’ll take care of it.”
“Then what?”
There was no reason to refuse.
No, even if it didn’t work, it was something I had to ask for.
“Wait a minute, I’ll get ready.”
Gav said, then walked up her steps with her galloping stride.
As I gazed at the back, I belatedly remembered the soldier in the plaza.
“Ah, should I go tell you there’s no need to wait?”
Then Ozma tilted her head and said.
“If we don’t come, shouldn’t we wait and go?”
***
After about 10 minutes passed, Gav, who had said he was coming to prepare, came down to the first floor again.
Looking at it now, she had three marbles in her hand.
She looked up wanting something, and as Gav handed us one, she said.
“It’s a guardian orb. It’s essential to get on top of me and go safely.”
“Ah…”
Well, if you want to ride a dragon that flies at a high speed in the sky, the wind or cold that comes to the rider will not be a joke.
It seemed to be the same principle as when I was on the back of a wyvern and wrapped the wind shield all over the body before.
So, the four of us, Ozma, Camilla, and Gav, came out to the empty lot in front of the mansion.
Stepping forward, Gav’s body, standing in the center of the clearing, was bathed in light, and her tiny body quickly swelled to a large size.
Her true form, the Heavenly Demon Dragon, whom I had seen before at a martial arts tournament.
Gav, who transformed into a flying Tyranno, cried out loudly as he looked at the blue sky.
I wondered what he was doing now, but it seems that he can’t control his wildness when he becomes a dragon.
Gav who gurgles and lowers his body so that we can ride easily.
As I, Ozma, and finally Camilla climbed onto the rugged back, Gav soared high into the sky, spreading wings that seemed relatively fragile compared to his large body.
Perhaps because of the orb Gav gave me, the ride was truly comfortable.
[Don’t open your mouth. You might bite your tongue.]
As the blue Tyrannosaurus said that, he rolled his green eyes back and forth, and soon turned to the direction of the Demon King and began to fly rapidly.
***
Originally, it took four days on foot.
However, flying on the back of a dragon, it took only three hours to cover a road that would have taken four days.
Doom Land is basically on the very rough side of the terrain, but the sky road is an exception.
And in this area, the Heavenly Demon Dragon was the loser of the sky.
It was because there were no flying monsters or winged demons that could compete with Gabu.
Thanks to this, we were able to enjoy a comfortable and safe trip and returned to the Devil’s Castle in about two weeks.
[Arrived.]
Spreading his big wings, Gav landed on the parade ground in the Demon King’s castle and blew out his snort while saying that.
Perhaps they had observed Gav’s presence even before we arrived, and people were pouring out of the parade ground.
Dyurahan, Vanessa, with a familiar face standing in front of them, approached with a startled expression.
“Ozma-sama!”
“Vanessa!”
Ozma was the first to jump off the back with a happy face, followed by me and escorted Camilla.
As all three of them get off their backs, Gav, who has been watching with bated breath, uses Polymorph again to return to his human form.
“I never imagined that the person who went to the tribal exchange meeting would come back in such a splendid way. How did he come back riding a demon dragon?”
“Huh? Ah, Gav was kind to me. Thanks to him, I was driven all the way here.”
“I see… Huh? Gav?”
Vanessa looks back at Gav, as if she heard something incredible.
Or not, Gav, at his own pace, asked as he crossed his arms under his voluptuous chest.
“What are you looking at? Dyurahan.”
Seeing that, Vanessa asked with a dubious expression.
“Is that demon dragon the Gav I know?”
“Uh.”
“How did you become a woman? It must have been a great macho.”
It was Gav who answered that.
“It is love.”
“Yes?”
“This feeling of loving Patrasche led me to a new world.”
As Gav said, he preached the beauty of love in an exaggerated pose, but at least no one was here to understand it.
Then Gav looked at Vanessa with a pitiful expression and said,
“It’s a pity that you don’t know the beauty of love.”
Then Vanessa, who always went around with a smile on her face, stiffened her face and put her hand on the hilt of her sword.
“You’re fighting right now, right?”
“Ohhh. Are you trying to attack me? Maybe it’s because I’ve been dead once, so it seems like it’s not a waste of life.”
If I left it like this, it seemed like a real sword fight would happen before I even met the Demon King, so I hurriedly intervened between the two.
“Now, now, don’t strain yourself and let’s disband for now. Disband. Vanessa is also on patrol, so it won’t be too busy.”
Then, regretfully, Gav licks her tongue, and Vanessa glances at her and turns her head with her excitement!
It is said that the master and servant look alike, and Vanessa seems to have the worst compatibility with Gav.
Anyway, after the situation was somewhat settled, I barely had time to take care of my surroundings, so I said to Gav, who was standing behind me.
“Anyway, thank you for driving me here, Mr. Gabriel. If it wasn’t for Mr. Gabriel’s help, I would have arrived much later than this.”
Then Gav smiled brightly as if she hadn’t regretted it, and wrapped her arms around me.
“Haha, what does it mean to be good friends? Ask for something like this anytime.”
While saying that, he secretly pushed her breasts, but it was truly a blatant body attack.
However, I was able to push her away because I still had a sense of rejection as I knew her manly side of her Gav.
Perhaps because Gav knew that too, he took a peek at my expression, put his hand on my waist, and said confidently.
“I’ll just step away this time, but next time we meet, there’s no way. Until then, I’ll learn to live as a woman.”
“Are you planning on not transforming into a man now?”
Then Gav nodded her head and replied.
“Before, I just transformed like that because the male body was more advantageous for fighting. But meeting you made me realize my identity, so I’ll have to live as a woman from now on.”
As he said that, Gav turned around and looked at Ozma and Camilla, and she smiled confidently.
“I’ll give you the seat next to Kaldrash for a while. But next time I come back, it won’t be easy.”
Then, wrapped in her dazzling light, she returns to her original form in an instant.
A flying tyranno covered in blue scales flew high into the sky with a whip.
Gav was indeed like the wind.
