I Said Make My Abilities Average!

Chapter 114: That man right now is …

「Wan wan!」 (10 years old little girl)

「Eh, Elsie ee~e~e!!」 (R.O)

「That’s right, I’m Elsie, Low Breath Rider. I were sent by the lord as your reinforcement」

「Whaaat!?」(R.O)

Mile, Pauline and Dr. are applying healing magic to Low Breath’s left wing as Elsie talking about herself.

Apparently the scholar magician (whose name was forgotten) ‘s plan didn’t go as he expected.

Although he said to the lord 「I want to go to the capital」but the lord refused instantly because

Think about it, that was natural.

It’s the people and the soldiers of this territory that suffered damage.

Even if the Lord let that magician go to the capital and working for the royal palace, his territory won’t get any benefit.

More than that, it’s much better to have a wyvern and a tamer magician work for his territory.

In the first place, the lord has jurisdiction over the Wyvern and the tamer.

There’s no reason why the lord must offer them to the royal palace.

He can give whatever punishment you want in the territory. Like making the Wyvern working for the Lord and the magician tamer must give out all info about how to control the Wyvern.

That magician refused at first, but when the lords began to hint the word 「torture」

He finally confessed the truth.

But his honestly answer is「There is no training or taming method for Low Breath …」

And finally the lord made the magician working for him, and the lord telling him that his salary will be distributed to the victim villagers and soldiers.

Low Breath will also work in the Lord Army as a fighting force of a single unit and its rider will be selected by the Lord, not the magician.

However, Low Breath dislikes soldier. When an adult male wears a weapon or armor riding him, he will use magic to fly away.

With such action, there’s no soldier want to ride Low Breath.

Thus, the Lord has no choice but listen to the opinion of that magician.

「The one that Low Breath allow to ride him is: someone with light weight, don’t wear armor, don’t disobey orders, don’t hate to ride Low breath and disposable」

And a little girl with aptitude was chosen.

An orphan girl who was living in hungry and poverty in the slums.

「I didn’t have a name, I were either called「Trash」or 「Barbage」

but Booncraft gave me a lovely name 「Elsie」!

And then, Booncraft let me working with Low Breath.

I was able to live happily while doing flight training and so on.

As long as I can remember, this is the first I can have food to eat, proper bed to sleep and were given a lovely name.

Live with Booncraft and Low Breath is just like a dream…」(Elsie)

The girl is happy talking about it.

The most surprising is that this girl understand exactly the situation with that magician.

Maybe she heard the magician himself or from another person or she judged from other people’ gossip.

But in any case, as a 10-year-old girl from slum, she must have some ability in order to survive.

And she even understands that the magician isn’t a highly praised person, she still appreciates him as her benefactor. Even she knew that she was just a disposable tool.

「But somehow he demanded me to add「Wan wan!」to any greetings or at the end of any sentences

… Why did he do that

… Am I treated less than a slave, like a dog or something?

Even so Boonclift still calls me cute …」 (Elsie)

「Ha ha ha ha …」 (R.O)

The Red Oath have dry laughter.

However, 「Red oath」were a little surprised.

The lord had sent reinforcement, maybe he isn’t a bad person.

No, I wonder if it should be called 「have suspicion」instead.

Anyway, even if Low Breath and Elsie were sent as a watcher, but for an 「aristocrat」to give out his greatest trump card is really a big deal.

Also, it seems that the lord still gave enough money for the magician and Elsia to live properly. Even they are a criminal and an orphan of slum. And even if the lord only give them a minimum to live, no one complains.

Rena mutters.

「Maybe the lord here is pretty good guy?」(Rena)

「Certainly, the payment from the last time was good …」(Pauline)

Pauline’s 「good people」 criteria seemed a little different from others.

Well, no matter what, everyone seems quite happy, it was good in the end.

After done talking, Low Breath’s injury was also cured.

It is natural because Mile, Pauline and Dr. Kulereia kept healing him.

「Ah that’s right, Dr. Kulereia and Elsie, why don’t you two return to the town first by riding Low Breath?

We must report to the guild and the Lord as soon as possible, or they will dispath more soldiers and hunters」(Mile)

「E? Eee?」(Kulereia)

Dr. Kulereia is upset with Mile’s proposal.

[I want to know more about Mile.

But I also want to fly in the sky! This is an once in a lifetime chance or not…

But, even I want to fly in the sky, I am scared!

However, as I received work, I have an obligation to report as soon as possible.

Before the Lords dispath more troops or even ask the guild or the capital for more reinforcements…] (Kulereia)

She has various thoughts in her mind and she can’t decide.

「But, but Low Breath-chan may not like me to ride him…」(Kulereia)

Somehow, Dr. Kulereia thinks of a reason to not return…

「Low Breath, is that okay? Are you willing to take her along?」(Mile)

As Mile said with a smile, Low Breath kept nodding as if he were desperate like a broken toy.

***

Low Breath flew away with Elsie and Dr. Kulereia while flapping his cured wings anxiously several times.

Before departure, Red Oath have already discussed with the doctorabout 「how far we will report」

Three Ancient Dragons also silently listened to the girls from behind.

At least, they understood that Mile are trying to lower the probability of disputes with humans as much as possible.

There’s a possibility that disputes with humans, elves and dwarves will occur someday, as long as the Ancient Dragons continue to investigate the ruins in various places using beastkins and devils.

But It will be good the girl hunter party manage to do something.

Actually, the「Red oath」 doesn’t have to go through all that troubles.

Because they haven’t received orders for such work.

「Well, this time, we will really depart.「Red oath」have completed the request, let’s return to the capital!」(Rena)

「Ohhh」(Mile + Pauline + Maevis)

Because Dr. Kulereia is missing this time, there’s no-one late to reply to Rena’ s voice this time.

And「Red oath」 departed for the capital, leave three Ancient Dragons that silent looking from behind.

「Beldestes …」 (Sherara)

「…What? 」(Beldetes)

Sherala muttered with confidence.

「… Follow them isn’t good, right?」(Sherara)

「Ha! What are you saying! 」 (Beldetes)

「I know that. I’m just asking」 (Sherara)

「…Really」 (Beldetes)

But Beldetes felt that he could understand why Sherara said so.

Because he also thought like that, although it was just a little bit, yes a little bit.

Why? Well, if he can be with those girls, he felt that it would be interesting and their days won’t be boring anymore.

Yes, the Ancient Dragon isn’t live long as nanomachine, but from all the the long life race, it was a race who was spent their life with boredom.
