Chapter 120.: 120.

Around the time when Dolflare’s figure disappeared beyond the horizon .

「G R R…」

Dura cried out in a small voice, and fleetingly glanced back .

He might be feeling sad to separate from his birthplace and parent .

That’s why I gently patted Dura’s neck .

「Dura . We’ll regularly go visit the dragon’s mountain range . 」

「Un . G R R」

「The dragons were all kind! Kyuru」

Rubeum seems to have taken a liking to the dragons, too .

On the way home, after about a day passed without any incident,

My Transceiver Ring rang .

『Regina, Dion, Milt . And Will, can you hear me?』

It was the voice of the president Xenovia who remained back in the academy .

『What happened?』

Regina’s voice replied from the Transceiver Ring .

『Twelve demons appeared . At the Devil’s Forest . 』

Xenovia concisely reported what happened and where it happened .

Twelve demons is not something normal .

Devil’s Forest is a forest with a lot of monsters to the southeast of the Royal Capital, that is, the southeast of the Academy of Heroes .

It is about a five hours’ walk from the academy .

I was looking at maps during my free time, so I happened to know by chance .

Geography is important in everything you do .

『What?』

Unusual for Regina, she seemed to be a little unsettled .

『Milt, Regina . How long will it take to get over here?』

『At full speed, it’ll take at least five hours . 』

It was Milt’s voice, who should have remained in the academy .

Milt seems to be away from the academy for some reason .

In other words, the only member of the Council of Sages who remained in the academy was Xenovia .

Even if it’s Xenovia, twelve demons might be a little too much .

『…We’ll do our best, but no matter how hard we try, it’ll also take five hours for us to reach . 』

Dion said calmly .

If Dion, who is very familiar with the ability of wyverns, says that, he’s probably right .

『That is still far away . Understood . I will try to buy some time . 』

「Xenovia . Don’t overdo it . 」

『I know… Master . 』

Xenovia called me “Master” .

Because I addressed her “Xenovia”, she guessed that Rosetta and the others didn’t hear me .

Right now, Rosetta and Tina were riding the wyvern where Arti is the rider .

Regina and Dion each rode their own wyverns .

「I’ll try to get there as soon as possible . Don’t die no matter what . 」

『Thank you very much . Please leave it to me . 』

And the call ended .

Dion said to Arti in a loud voice .

「It’s an emergency . We will go ahead first!」

「Arti and others follow after us later!」

At Regina’s instructions, Arti nodded with a serious expression .

「Understood . 」

「Will! No, Dura! Can you keep up with me?」

「G R R . Dura is much faster than a wyvern . 」

「I see . That’s reassuring! Then, Will, follow me on Dura . 」

「Rog…」

When I tried to reply「Roger」,

「Kyururururu!」

Rubeum, riding on my shoulder, roared .

「What is it?」

「Rubeum is also fast! Kyuru」

「Hou?」

「Watch me, Will . Kyururu」

No sooner than that, Rubeum flew further from my shoulder to the sky . And, assumed his giant-form .

A magnificent crimson dragon of ten meters in length, and three meters in height, which you wouldn’t believe is a baby dragon .

He was slightly smaller than Dura, but was large enough .

「Get on me, Will . Kyuru」

Then Regina said with a serious expression .

「Wait, Rubeum . It’s an emergency . Let’s think about who will ride who . 」

「All right . Kyuru」

We discussed while flying at high speed in the sky

A minute later, we decided on who would ride whom .

Me and Regina on the back of Rubeum .

It’s a strategy to put the lightest two on Rubeum, the fastest .

Shiro, Fluffy, and Fay, are lightweight, so they ride with me .

Dion rode alone on Dura, the next fastest .

Regina and Dion’s wyverns were in a state where no one was riding them .

But wyverns are clever, so if you tell them, they’ll follow Arti’s wyvern .

After the transfer in the air, Regina looked at the disciples tenderly .

「Children . Come back safely . 」

「「Yes!」」

「Arti . I’ll leave it to you . 」

「Please leave it to me . 」

And then, Rubeum and Dura started accelerating .

Both Rubeum and Dura were twice as fast as wyverns .

But Rubeum doesn’t seem to be serious yet .

「…Rubeum . Fly with all your might . 」

「Will, I understand, but what about Dura? Kyuru」

「Dura will fly after us at full speed . Leave it to Dion . 」

「All right . 」

Rubeum accelerated further . His speed overwhelmed Dura’s .

Dura was by no means slow . Rubeum was just too fast .

The distance kept increasing .

We can entrust Dura to Dion .

「Meeee-」「Pigi」

Both I and Regina were so nervous to the point of being silent .

On the other hand, Shiro and Fluffy were not . They probably didn’t understand the situation .

They were just excited by Rubeum’s overwhelming speed .
