Three days later, I was alone with the princess on the outskirts of Boisroussel.

Strictly speaking, the princess’s carriage and attendants were waiting about a hundred meters away.

In such a state, the princess and I were looking at the “ruins” in front of us.

I wanted to build a base in the suburbs, and the princess wanted to help me do so, so she brought me a candidate for the land.

“How about this one?”

“What was the original place?”

“Records say it was an abandoned manor.”

“A manor, so there’s a field or something.”

“Yes. …… I’ve heard it’s a wasteland now though.”

“Looks like one.”

I nodded my head in agreement with the princess’s apologetic tone.

I nodded, walked out, and went inside.

The princess walked beside me.

As I walked inside, I realized that I was in the right place.

A manor is a kind of “village” run by royalty and nobility.

An ordinary village belongs to the villagers, but a manor belongs to the royal family.

For villagers, they own what they harvest and pay taxes to their lords.

On the other hand, in a manor, everything harvested belongs to the royalty and nobility, and they receive a salary in return.

Despite these minor differences, there is one thing in common.

That is, this is a place where crops are grown formerly.

The manor was a very convenient place for me, as my goal was to grow Galians at this base.

“The buildings are …… mostly decayed.”

“It would seem so. I’m sorry, I wanted to get you something you could use right now, but I can’t …… do that right away,” the princess said.

“No, this will be a great help,” I said.

“Oh, really?”

The princess looked at me with a startled expression.

“Yeah, most of the buildings and equipment are decaying, but you see, there’s this broken water wheel, a fallen bridge, and a warehouse. These can be used as a reference for you to put such facilities there,” I said.

“Oh, I see.”

“It’s a lot easier than building from scratch. Thank you, Princess.”

“!!! I’m honored that Cyril-sama  likes my work!”

When she thanked me, the princess was as thrilled as she could be.

“For that matter, are you sure you don’t mind if I use this place?”

“Of course! You can use it as you like, Cyril-sama!”

“I see. Well, let’s start by clearing the ground…….”

“grading, is it?” the princess asked.

“Yeah. I could ask Chris to do it, but I think I can do it myself.”

I said that and looked around.

I looked at the ruined former manor and assessed what I thought I didn’t need as a reference.

Then I thrust out my arm and pointed my finger.

The next moment, I shot out flaming bullets from nine fingers.

One after another, the flaming bullets hit the unwanted buildings and set them ablaze.

“Cyril-same? What is this ……?” the princess asked.

“It’s faster to burn what you don’t need. Fortunately, there’s no forest nearby, so it’s faster this way,” I said.

“I see!”

The princess nodded her head and agreed.

“And yet, ……”

“What?”

“The flames are really powerful……”

“It’s a skill I was able to use after I made a contract with Emma of the Zmei-type, but since I also made a contract with Chris, I feel like my flames are stronger than normal.

“Is that so?!” the princess asked.

“Maybe.”

I don’t have any proof, but I said so.

I couldn’t compare it with what it was before I made the contract with Chris, but when I was shooting the nine-fingered flames, I often felt as if my body was reacting to the contract with Chris.

If it’s more powerful than normal flames, then my contract with Chris must be a plus.

The Phoenix-type, a dragon called the Son of God that regenerates from flames.

I thought it made sense that the effect of the flames would increase in general.

One by one, I used the flaming bullets to burn down the unwanted structures from the site.

I left the place as it was, leaving behind anything that I thought should be rebuilt.

I also set fire to the previous field.

“In the planting fields, too?” the princess asked.

“Yes. This will kill weeds and pests from the seeds and eggs. It also improves the quality of the soil.”

I don’t know the details, but that’s what they say.

“I didn’t know that. …… You are very knowledgeable, Cyril-sama.”

The princess gazed at me with respect.

The ardent gaze is half comforting and half embarrassing.

As I walked with the princess, I burned what I didn’t need.

Suddenly, we pass a stream running through the manor, and I see the expression of the princess behind me, reflected in the mirror of the stream’s surface.

For some reason, the princess’s expression was dark.

I stopped and turned to the princess.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“What’s wrong, is something wrong?”

“What? No! I’m sorry! It’s nothing!”

“You didn’t look like anything, but …… you can tell me anything. Anything I can do to help you, I will,” I said.

“No, really, it’s fine. It’s just …….”

“Just?”

“I was hoping I could join you, Cyril-same.”

“Join me?”

He looked at her, wondering what she meant, and then turned his head to look back at the princess.

“Yes, as a member of Cyril-sama’s guild, …… I thought about it, but the people around me wouldn’t let me.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, you can be a patron of the …… Dragon Knights Guild, but to actually join would be to degrade your status.”

“I see…..”

Status, huh?

It’s a difficult subject.

If what you’ve just said is true, you can rest assured that the princess will support me in the future, but the loneliness and sadness she feels now will never be resolved.

That’s hard for me to watch …….

I don’t care about people like Lindworm, who ostracize me and disrespect dragons, but I do want to do something about people like the princess who treat me well.

I wondered if there was any way I could help.

“…… Oh.”

“What’s the matter, Master Cyril?

“Princess, stay where you are and don’t move, just close your eyes.”

“What?”

“It’ll all be over soon.”

“Uh, ……, yes, …….”

The princess looked around and then blushed and closed her eyes, looking extremely embarrassed.

After she closed her eyes, she turned her face upwards – towards the taller me.

For some reason, he pursed her lips at me.

“……?”

I wondered what it was, and I put my skills on the princess.

The power of contracting with the Gargoyle species of Yuey, the power to change their appearance.

I put it on the princess.

The skill that could make dragons look human also had an effect on humans.

The princess, who had been a princess until just before, took on a completely different appearance.

She was still a beautiful girl, but her face and clothes were completely different.

“Good.”

“Cyril-sama?”

“You can open your eyes now.”

“What?…… okay”

The princess opened her eyes in confusion and fear.

She looked at me with that puzzled face.

“Um, ….. Cyril-sama?”

“Check out your reflection in the river.”

“What ……?”

As I told her to, the princess looked down at the surface of the river.

The sorrowful expression she had been projecting earlier changed to a shocked expression.

“This is …….”

“It’s the power of illusion, it allows you to change your appearance into a completely different person.

“You can do this too ……, as expected of Cyril-sama.”

“Now you can join the guild as someone else, what do you say?”

“What?”

The princess huffed.

She looked at her reflection in the river and me alternately.

The face was that of a person who is happy to be presented with a new possibility.

“It’s a slightly exaggerated version of being a ninja.”

“Are you sure you want to do this?”

“Are you sure? Yes, as long as the princess is okay with it.”

“Yes! Take me in your guild! Please!”

The princess said with such force that she was hanging on to me.

“Well, that’s good. I’m glad. Well, I’m pleased to have you, Princess.”

“Yes! I look forward to working with you!”

“In that case, it’s not a good idea to call you Princess when you’re like this, you should think of another name.”

“Yes, that’s right, that’s right. It’s …….”

“Hmm?

“Why don’t you give me a name, Cyril-sama?”

While stumbling a little, the princess said while consciously changing her wording.

“Me?”

“Yes! Yes, please! I want you to give me a name, Cyril-sama!”

“I see. Then how about …… Jeanne?”

I suggested a name that was far from the original image of the princess.

“Yes! Thank you very much!”

And the princess was very happy.

And so, the princess, also now known as Jeanne, joined the guild.

“Come to think of it, ……, what was that look on your face just before?”

“What?”

“It was like a kissing face…”

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing!”

“What?”

“I had a mosquito bite on my lip. It was a little itchy.”

“Haha…..”

For some reason, Jeanne was desperately trying to explain herself.

I don’t know what’s going on, but …… it’s okay.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
