Chapter 7 Trouble(1/2)
"Then, Reinhardt, report!"
"yes"
The Master Chief stepped aside and vacated the center of the stage. Reinhardt, who stepped forward, turned to the Sage Association with an expression on his face under the attention of the audience.
"Masters of the Council of Sages, please allow me, Reinhard Van Astrea, a member of the Knight Guards, to report on the completion of the mission."
"Then, let everyone hear it."
After hearing the instructions from the Sage Association representative, Reinhardt turned around and looked at everyone in Hiroma.
"The Dragon Miko, the candidate for the king, the final fifth person, has been found."
The commotion began to spread among the standing knights, and the expressions of the candidates also responded to the strong expressions, including fighting spirit, joy, boredom, and confusion.
The temporarily suspended king's election was about to start again. The door beside Yuexing slowly opened. Feeling that something was wrong, Yuexing hurriedly pulled Youmeng to lower his head and left from behind. While everyone's attention was on the door, he got in.
Subaru's side
"Yuexing? Why did you come in too?" Subaru looked at Yuexing in surprise and found that there was another person with white hair next to Yuexing.
"This is..." Subaru asked doubtfully
"Tokisaki Yumu" Youmu said calmly, looking at Yuexing
"Who is this little brother? Natsuki Subaru, why don't you introduce me?" The one-armed knight leaned over and said curiously.
"This is my brother, he is also a time traveler. This one-armed knight is called Al, and he is the follower of that arrogant girl," Subaru said excitedly
"In this case, all four time travelers present are here," Yuexing said calmly.
"What, it turns out you are too..." The three people stared at each other, Yuexing shrugged.
"Tokisaki Yumu? That Tokisaki Yumu from the Dragon Clan?" Julius said in surprise.
"Julius, do you know him?" Yuexing looked at Julius in confusion.
"Yes, this guy's reputation has spread throughout the upper class, Yuexing, you'd better stay away from him," Julius said seriously
"I understand." Yuexing nodded. Julius didn't say much when he saw this, and turned his eyes to the door.
Wearing a light yellow dress, stepping on the carpet with high heels, shining golden hair, and strong-willed red eyes, the distinctive tiger-toothed girl slowly walked out of the door under the leadership of the maid.
"The fifth dragon miko——named Felt"
During Reinhardt's declaration, Felt, who was accompanied by the maid, walked quietly between the thrones, on the red carpet, like a noble lady.
"I was shocked. At that time, I vaguely felt that Felt was not simple. I didn't expect that it would transform like an ugly duckling into a swan." Yuexing said while looking at Subaru.
"This is not a swan next to an ugly duckling. This is a completely fallen princess." Subaru opened his mouth in surprise.
"Isn't this kind of uncertainty what the different world we are pursuing has?" Yue Xing said
Felt slowly stood in front of Reinhardt, who smiled and nodded.
"Sir Felt, thank you very much for your hard work moving."
Reinhard saluted, and Felt raised his head and called out
"——Reinhardt"
"yes"
"——You bastard, you just dragged me here without any explanation. What on earth do you want to do?!"
Lifting up the hem of the dress, his long feet swung directly into Reinhardt's chin, and then was caught by Reinhardt's hands.
"I'm letting you eat chicken. What are you going to do all of a sudden?"
"Don't just take it lightly and act like nothing's wrong! Hey! This! Clothes! These people! You! What are all of them! I've almost reached the limit of my patience!"
Maintaining balance on one foot, Felt said angrily
"I didn't expect it, such a turn of events." Yuexing smiled and patted Subaru on the shoulder. Subaru was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"This world is quite interesting," Youmeng said lightly.
"From what you say, your last world didn't mean anything." Yuexing looked at Youmeng and said doubtfully.
"Indeed, I basically live on the road of killing and being killed. It's rare to be so leisurely." Youmeng shrugged.
"What are you talking about? What is the last world?" Subaru looked confused and had no idea what the two men were talking about.
"It's nothing. I'll tell you when I get back... Felute has come over, I'll hide for a while." After Yuexing finished speaking, he stood behind Youmeng.
"Brother, why are you here too?" Felt walked towards Subaru, who was at the forefront of the knights.
"Hey, long time no see. How are you?" As soon as he said the polite words, he was attacked in the abdomen.
Looking at Subaru who was moaning, Felt, who kept raising one foot, held up his arm and nodded.
"If you feel like this, the wound on your abdomen should be fine. What about the other guy? Didn't he come with you?"
"If you're worried, I'd like to offer my condolences. What's this sudden kick? That guy didn't come with us." Subaru endured the pain and said.
"Lord Felt, although it's nice to reconnect with old friends, please come this way."
The Master Chief, who looked kind and amiable and looked calmly, gestured to the stage with his hand.
With a serious expression, Felt wrinkled her face and walked forward with an expression that seemed to be reluctant.
"So, what do you want me to do?"
"I want to say, behave like a lady, but please hold on to this first."
Felt, who looked disgusted at Reinhardt's joke, held the Dragon Emblem that Reinhardt had taken out of his arms, and the gem immediately emitted white light in his palm.
"So this thing doesn't glow based on its attributes," Yuexing muttered softly.
"That's what I was thinking when I stole it. It's really rare and wonderful. It also glows and stuff."
"Stolen?"
"This is because Felt-sama's qualifications have been recognized by the dragon."
Felt accidentally let slip something terrible. The Master Chief noticed her careless remarks, but Reinhardt was immediately fooled by her.
"Just like this, Dragon Ball has indeed recognized Felt-sama as a miko. After her participation is recognized, it can be considered that this king election has begun in a real sense."
Marcos put his hand on his chest and bent down. After Reinhardt did the same, all the knights of the guard also did the same.
Suddenly, there was a quarrel among the group from the civil service area.
"Excuse me, may I excuse you?" A man walked out from the civil service group. The dark circles under his eyes were very conspicuous. He was a hunchbacked middle-aged man, stroking his gorgeous beard nervously.
"Regarding the ceremony of choosing the king this time, starting from the Knights of the Guards, the dedication to the Knights of the Kingdom cannot be expressed in words. Without the power of all the kings, it would be impossible to rectify the situation in such a short time."
"It's true."
"However, although I don't want to say this, although we should follow the instructions of the Dragon Calendar Stone, don't you think there are some problems with the selection?"
"So, what do you mean?"
"What I want to say is that the qualifications to be the Dragon Miko have attracted too much attention. The most important thing is the qualifications to hold the crown of the kingdom on your head. Don't you be too dismissive?"
For the hunchbacked man who spoke out with an arrogant attitude, a voice of approval came from the civil service group.
"The covenant with the dragon is above all else. Since Luknica will continue to exist as a pro-dragon kingdom, the kingdom cannot be established without the covenant. But putting too much emphasis on the covenant and underestimating the people is putting the cart before the horse."
"Does it mean that we, the knights, put too much effort into finding the dragon witch, and mistakenly looked at the person who is suitable for the king who should swear loyalty?"
"Yes, there are some discrepancies in the description, but that's it."
Over a long period of time, everyone in the Knights worked hard to achieve a result for this almost impossible task, but the result was criticized like this by this person.
"There's a burning smell. It's better to say that the air has become sinister..." Subaru whispered from the side.
"This is the common problem among literati. They always don't care about the process but the so-called results. In the end, they are not the ones who suffer." Yuexing shrugged.
At this moment, the civil service group began to express their dissatisfaction one after another.
"As a miko, you are also a king. In other words, you don't have enough consciousness to be a king."
"Even if you dress up on the outside, your true nature and attitude will be revealed."
"Even if you don't have enough taste and education, can you still say that you are respected as a king?"
"Just shut up, Sir!"
The civil servant group was probably criticizing Felt, who had a bad attitude just now, but the other candidates were also shot while lying down.
"Quiet!"
The words of the representative of the Wise Men Association made everyone return to silence. After a period of silence, the old man sighed.
"It is true that there is a slight disrespect in the behavior, but first, it is better to start by simply understanding the experiences of the candidates."
"...It makes sense, whether it's appropriate or not, we have to start from there first."
Seeing the seriousness of the elders of the Sage Association, the man with a civilized temperament - the man called Likelute stepped back.
"Knight Reinhardt, first of all, can you let everyone hear how you found her?"
Reinhardt stepped forward, knelt down and gave the most solemn salute, saying
To be continued...
