「Search. Crown Prince of the Teikoku」
『Understood….Search complete. Displaying』
A green pin fell in a corner of the Imperial Capital. Because it seems to be moving a little, it appears he survived. That’s great.
「He appears to be alive…… Where is this?」
「The Empire’s Western direction’s commander, Romelo’s residence……I see, the prince seems to be safe」
He’s safe with the army? While I was thinking that, the Emperor laughed as if reading my thoughts and answered.
「Not all of the army in the Imperial Capital serve under Bazuru. General Romelo is a general that was opposed to the plan to use demons as an army to invade. He probably read the situation and gave the Crown prince refuge」
I see. It’s not as if all the soldiers are following Bazuru blindly. There seem to be a good shelter for now, but there is not much time left, huh?
「Then tomorrow morning we will go to the Imperial Capital?」
「Wa- please wait! It may be after the fact but is it really alright!? The opponent are 10k soldiers or more and they can summon a demon army you know!? For you by yourself…..!」
The emperor panics as he tries to stop me. Well, if it’s a normal person then it wouldn’t work. But I don’t intend on losing. It was like that in Ishen, did I get used to this?
「It’ll workout somehow. Because I have companions」
I glanced at Yumina as she nodded strongly.
「……Tomorrow morning. Would you take me with you to the Imperial Capital?」
「Won’t that be dangerous? Wouldn’t it be better to wait here……」
「No, I have to see the end of this personally. That is the least I can do as Emperor」
Un, what can be done…? We can’t just go off and leave the Emperor here, but that being said we can’t have him be on the front lines either……
「Let’s have Belfast’s knight squadron be guards for the Emperor. I wish to see Touya-dono’s fighting style for myself」
The King offers, and it was accepted. If it’s that then it might be fine.
It was decided that, tomorrow morning, the Emperor along with several knights would come with us to the Imperial Capital.
I used 「Gate」to send the King back to the Royal palace, and then left the Emperor’s room afterwards.
I went out to the terrace and called out Kohaku, Kuroyou, and Sango, and tried asking them about summoning magic.
「Well the object that is summoned appears is random, but if you call and contract a higher being from a family, you are freely able to call for a lower level being of the same family?」
『Yes. As you are my contracted master, you are essentially able to summon any brute beasts』
『In my case you are able to summon any of the shelled or scaled beasts』
After listening to Kohaku and Kuroyou’s stories, So basically I can call for any 4 legged mammals or any scaled reptile-like demon beasts.
『Tentatively, it is necessary to make a contract with each race. If you give the chief a name, then that race will become your arms and legs. They aren’t demons or mysterious things』
Sango says while laughing. Well, I don’t intend on working any of them like a horse.
「Well let’s give it a try for now? Um……what is there?」
『Let me see, Ceberus has a very high fighting ability?』
Ah, I know that one. He is hell’s watchdog. A large black, three headed dog? Well let’s give him a try.
That day I called out and named many demon beasts, I wish they would forgive me for the random names I gave them towards the end. Since I don’t have a stock of them, you know….
Well, let’s go to bed in preparation for tomorrow.
