We continued down the town road and even after entering the main road, we continued on with Chris’s guide. 

Without saying where we were heading, I was a bit skeptical about Chris’s way as he continued with the detailed guide. 

 

“Chris, how far are we going?”

“Hmm?”

“If you tell us the destination, maybe we know about shortcuts on how to get there.” 

“Is that so? Actually, it’s a place called Thunder Mountain in Induline.”

“Induline… Thunder Mountain. Jeanne, have you heard about these places?” 

 

Since I had never heard of the place’s name that Chris had told me, I turned to ask Jeanne.

Unable to understand Chris’s words, Jeanne can only have a grasp of the situation from my words. 

She tilted her head for a bit and after thinking about it for a while, she had an apologetic face. 

 

“I’m sorry. I have little knowledge of this.”

“No, it’s okay. I also don’t know.” 

 

I smiled and told Jeanne not to worry about it. 

I turned to Chris again.  

 

“That place, where is it?” 

“Hmm. After being revived by my true friend, I talked to other dragons and exchanged information.” 

“Really?”

 

I was impressed to know that Chris was doing such things.

 

“I didn’t get much. In this case, it turns out the place names that I remember are no longer being used, humans.”

“Ah..” 

 

I nodded, understanding. 

 

“What do you mean?” 

“According to Chris, the place names that she remembers are old place names that are no longer being used.” 

“So that’s it!” 

 

Jeanne understood immediately. 

 

“It’s quite common. King’s Landing also had changed names about three times as far as I know.”

“Oh really?”

 “Yes. Now it’s called Northern Dancer, the previous one was Northern Taste, and the one before was Lyphard? I think.”

“The names are very different from each other.” 

“Yes, I remember it being quite different, but the detailed name is ambiguous, I’m sorry …”

 “No, it’s usually like that.”

 

I nodded, showing that I understood. 

Human memory has such problems.

If it were similar names like Northern Dancer and Northern Taste, it would be easier to remember by association, but if it were completely different, it can’t be helped.  

Well, since that was how it is.

 

“But you gave a good example, Jeanne.” 

“Huh?”

“Like that.. Lyphard, a completely distant place name, there is no way of knowing. Isn’t that so, Chris?” 

 

I turned the conversation to Chris. 

 

“Hmm. Induline and Thunder Mountain, both are hard to associate with each other, right?”

“Yes. It must be the same for the dragons that Chris heard the story from.” 

“Yes. That’s why there is no other way than for me to remember the road to give the detailed directions.” 

“I agree.” 

 

If that was the chase, I agreed that there was indeed no other way.

Chris was entrusted with the directions. 

☆

By noon, I was slowly starting to get tired. 

Especially Jeanne, who clearly had tiredness shown on her face. 

 

It was just nice since we could see a tea house just ahead of the road. 

 

“Let’s take a rest there.” I suggested. 

 

“Ye… Yes..” With Jeanne who nodded to the idea and Chris who had a nonchalant face in tow, we headed to the tea house.

 

Although it was a tea house, it was a simple thatched-roof hut with a few wooden tables set up front. 

The making was simple but it seemed to be in business. 

 

Most of the tables had customers, and a duo of an old man and his granddaughter seemed to be running the tea house. 

 

“Let’s take that table. Jeanne, sit down and I will order.” 

“Ye. Yes..”

 

I was trying to make Jeanne sit down, at that time. 

 

“Oi, old man! Sake, sake, and meat. For four people.” 

 

While Jeanne was trying to sit down, a group of four forced their way through. 

They shoved me out of the way as they sat at the table and ordered with a loud voice.  

From their appearance, they looked like boorish men. 

 

“What should we do, my true friend?” 

“It’s okay. Let’s take that table.”

 

I said so and took Jeanne and Chris with me and we were about to head to another table. 

Compared to the first table, it was worn out and away from the roof, at the side of the road. 

 

If it were to rain, we won’t be able to take shelter from the rain and we were covered with the dust from the road so we wanted to avoid the table at first but since it was the only table that was available, it can’t be helped. 

 

“Master Cyril.” 

“Let’s go.” 

“Ye… Yes.” 

 

Jeanne was persuaded by me.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

She glanced at the men with a sullen face but she followed me as per what I said. 

 

A fight was troublesome and it was not something worth fighting. 

That was why I was trying to go to another table. 

 

That was the end of it – or it was supposed to be.

“Oh? Hey girl.” 

 

The men turned their attention towards us. 

Or,  to be precise, Jeanne kept glancing their way after reluctantly tearing herself away from the scene so they were reacting to her. 

 

“….” 

 

Jeanne halted and with a grumpy face, she glared at them. 

 

“What do you want?” 

“Why don’t you come here and join us for a drink.” 

“That’s right. Rather than being with a spineless man like that, it’s more fun to join us.”

 

The men laughed vulgarly as they said those flippant words. 

Truthfully, I didn’t want to get involved so I thought that it might be better to not take a break at the tea house at all – as I was thinking about this.

 

Snap. 

 

I thought I heard a sound like that. 

 

“….”

 

Without saying a word, as if her body was in trance, she approached the men. 

 

“Jeanne?” 

 

“Oh? So you decided to join us after all?” 

“That’s more like it. Here, sit down.” 

“Why next to you? There is an empty seat here.” 

 

“Transform.” 

 

Jeanne muttered under her breath. 

 

“!!!”

 

I was surprised. 

One moment, Jeanne’s body was enveloped by a light then her appearance had changed. 

 

“Hahaha. What an interesting appearance. You look a lot like a war goddess that humans fantasize about.” 

 

Chris laughed out loud in a good mood. 

I secretly agreed with Chris’s comment.

 

War goddess. 　

 

Her whole body was cladded in white-based dress-like clothing, with light armor-like decorations were decorated at key points. 

Not only that, she had a long spear with her and the tip was fluttering in the wind. 

 

“What is that?” 

 

The men were surprised and confused. 

 

The next moment, the surprise and confusion were overcome by fear.

Jeanne swung the spear and slashed at the men. 

The way she handled the spear and slashed the four men was not like a princess at all. 

 

The four men that were slashed stayed seated, not collapsing. 

 

Jeanne carelessly waved her hand and a light condensed in between the four men – and exploded. 

For some reason, the explosion didn’t spread out, it stayed inside something like an invisible enclosed space.  

 

The four men who took the full impact of the explosion finally collapsed in tatters. 

 

“He… Hey! What’s wrong?” The tea house girl screamed when she realized about the commotion a bit later.

On the other hand, Jeanne recovered her composure and returned to her original appearance. 

 

“Hmm… It’s okay. They were bothering me so I punished them.” 

“Huh? Ah… I see.” 

 

Jeanne’s explanation convinced the tea house girl.

“Sorry that we caused trouble.” 

“No, it happens all the time. There is no problem if customers can settle it among themselves.” 

“Really..”

“Haha. What an interesting girl.” 

 

Chris and I found that the tea house girl that unexpectedly had a nerve of steel to be interesting. 

 

We moved the men who bothered us around that area, just ordered something, and sat down at the table. 

And asked Jeanne. 

 

“What was it just now?” 

“Yes. In order to protect myself, I requested Father to bring along several items from the palace’s treasure house. 　　

“Items?” 

“This time, I used an Epsom Ring and Longchamp Pendant. Epson Ring turns into a spear and Longchamp Pendant brings substantial changes to armor and appearance.” 

“Is that so? By the way..” 

“Yes, what is it?” 

“Those items are quite expensive, aren’t they?” 

 

I asked with dread. 

 

Items from the treasure house of the royal family’s palace… It made no sense if they were not expensive.  

 

“Hmm… I heard it’s around 10 million Reals.” 

“Oh.” 

 

As expected, they were expensive. 

 

“Actually, I wanted something that would make me able to fight alongside Master Cyril. When I told Father about Master Cyril’s strength, Father said that we do not have such a thing. And I was told to obtain it, we would need the amount of a year’s national budget. 

“That..”

 

I thought it was because Jeanne overestimated me. 

 

Even so…

 

“You were strong. And also, beautiful.” 

“Really? I’m glad. I wanted to ‘transform’ like Master Cyril.” 

“Ah.”

I nodded, it made sense. 

So, this meant that in order to match my ‘transformation’, she brought items that looked like they would match?[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
