Third Prince Elmer Volume 2 Chapter 7

[Elmer]

“Uooooo! We’re flying! We’re flying!”

Moving against the wind, we advanced in the utterly dark sky.

I was so overjoyed that I wasn’t interested that I was repeatedly hitting Kioran.

I wonder why I haven’t thought about it earlier. Even though we keep walking silently in the darkness, the end can’t be seen. Incidentally when I felt all my physical strength disappear, I came to realize it.

If we can’t go on foot, then we just need to fly.

When I summoned Kioran, he showed a displeased appearance, but when I persuaded him that there was an injured person, he reluctantly consented.

It has been decided that the unconscious Matthais-san will be transported while being carried gently (here, I have to remind him) by Kioran’s mouth, then I turned around to tell Alois-san to get on but he suddenly fell unconscious on top of Matthias-san.

In that short interval I took my eyes off him, I was so surprised that I thought there was a surprise attack in the dark, but he seemed to be just asleep for some reason so I tied him to Kioran’s body so we can proceed.

Holding on to Kioran’s back tightly, I turned around to confirm that Alois-san has not fallen.

Aa, I’m extremely tired.

I’m really very tired. I’m sure when I walked with Alois-san, I had a terrible expression.

The wind feels good.

Thereupon, I suddenly noticed. At that time, I wasn’t able to talk to Matthias-san about it when we flew off, but now that I think about it, where are we heading, I wonder? This is bad. What do I do?

“Kioran~ sorry. You see… I forgot to ask where we’re going.”

I called out to Kioran, and he let out a ‘hmmph!’ as he breathed from his nose, an unpleasant cold air was breathed out.

“Could it be that… you are aiming for somewhere?”

This time he answered with a low growl.

“Oi, don’t bite on him!”

Kioran, who forgot about Matthias-san, seemed to roar.

“Ah…”

After a while pa.s.sed since we began flying in the air, a voice who belonged to neither of us was heard from the back.

Alois-san woke up.

“This place… where on earth, what is…”

Those words were murmured by a small voice and no sooner than that, as he looked down below, his head immediately dropped once more.

Even as I sidled up to him to ask if he was okay, a response didn’t come back.

Surely, he’s just sleeping for a second time so there’s no problem. This sensation is just like my situation when I go to school in the morning.

Since I do not have anyone to talk to, it can’t be help so I started thinking.

Regarding the words said by Alois.

What did he mean by “Princess”?

It was said so spontaeniously that I was stunned. Though I did not understand what he meant by that, I was not able to decline his earnest face. And his eyes had become bloodshot.

Alois-san is an unusual person, isn’t he? Even though he seemed to be a good person… let’s be careful for the time being. If he sees me as a girl, then I won’t say that I’m actually a guy.

After a while, Kioran began to lower the alt.i.tude towards the place where light gathered in the utterly dark ground.

The air resistance became stronger that I shut my eyes unconsciously. There was a floating sensation as if my internal organs are going to come out. It’s similar to the feeling when a roller coaster drops, I feel sick.

As I desperately endured it, Kioran stopped gently.

When I opened my eyes, it was dark, but the landscape seemed familiar.

This place, where did I see it? I felt like I know this very well.

It’s the garden I can see from my room!

I recognized it after looking once again, I saw a flower that bloomed this year in the same place as last year.

Jumping off Kioran, I lowered Alois-san who was sleeping, since Matthias-san was already laid down, too. His complexion seemeed to not change that much from a little while ago.

“Thank you, Kioran.”

“Heave-ho!”

I laid those two in the bed and let out a sigh.

How did I enter the locked room?

Of course, I smashed through the window.

Even though I kicked it down, the gla.s.s wasn’t broken and only my foot became painful, the ice I used to stab it disappeared and I entered.

I’ll surely be scol~~ded.

But, because of Matthias-san I wanted to enter quickly so it can’t be helped.

I’m so sorry. I’ll immediately call someone and tell them to come. I said this to Matthias-san who was lying down, and then I left.

This house, isn’t the ceiling too high!?

Moreover, it’s huge!

It’s too s.p.a.cious, and there are no people around.

As I thought about this, I ran. House? While I do so, there were torches in places, and they were quite bright.
It was when I turned at the hallway of my room, ran through a longer hallway recklessly, and tried to turn at a corner.

“Who–!?”

With that snarl, something cold was suddenly applied at the back of my neck.

The person who shouted just now was heard by others, and several men gathered. The thing placed at the back of my neck wasn’t removed yet.

“Um…”

“This fellow! He’s b.l.o.o.d.y–!?”

Eh? I slowly lowered my head, and certainly my clothes and my body were surely b.l.o.o.d.y. Whose is it?
Ah, its from Matthias-san and the monsters.

How splendidly gory.

I wasn’t able to notice it because I was frantic.

“It’s different! I…”

For the sake of explaining the situation, I tried to look back. If I can’t deny this properly…

“Are you opposing me!?”

Wait a minute! OI! Listen when a person is talking.

Something crashed to my nape with a thud, and I was deprived with my field of vision. I didn’t understand what was happening as I was dragged somewhere.
