Chapter 3 - Veronica and Silvia
Part 1
As the airship Silvanus arrived at Ansarivan-
The Necromacia’s summoner- Milgauss’s right-hand man Anya was stranded in Danebury, a commercial city west of Ansarivan. This time, she was alone in one the many building thinking deeply
Despite the words "Rosetta’s Buisness Firm” hanging on the door, this is actually the name of a fictional industry. In other words, this is a secret base operated by Milgauss and the Zepharos Empire’s Intelligence.
Basically, the interior had the taste of a business firm, the tables, chairs and bookcase being very neat and organized.
But presently there was only Anya in the room.
“<Silver Knight> ...? "
Browsing the data on her hand, Anya murmured and muttered.
Recently she has been diligently investigating the hero called <Silver Knight>.
For Milgauss and Anya, the hero who defeat the Necromancia may be turned into treat to them.
The problem is that, surprisingly there is only a few sightings and reports which cause the investigations run into a bottleneck.
So far, the information related with the true identity of the <Silver Knights> is still not yet known. After all, the people who happen to be there are in chaos, such a result is not surprising.
The one who has the most precise grasp of the situation, perhaps are non-other than Milgauss and Anya who are looking at the scene of the incident.
As a result, what is widely said now may just be rumours, thus they could not find any valuable clues.
No, in Anya’s memories there is a valuable information.
That guy ...... since he participate in the riding a dragon festival, which means that he is a student right? "
It happens that because of some difficulties, Anya was afraid to inform this to Milgauss.
If she to him, it is like admitting her own mistakes.
The guy whom she didn’t kill turned out to be the <Silver Knights>....... This incident no matter what, Anya will never tell anyone. Anya step towards the window, staring blankly at the sky.
"Milgauss-sama..."
A Few days before, Milgauss received a confidential letter issued by the Ministry of Empire’s Intelligence.
Recorded in the letters is ordering him to return Empure. The Intelligence Department should be very interested in the Necromancia.
"Oh ya, I have to finish the report before Migauss-sama comes back ......"
"It is not good something was very wrong, Shamara!"
One of the men suddenly broke into the room.
He has a wheat-colored skin and dark hair.
He is a typical the Tantalos guy.
"How many times do you want me to remind you? Now I’m called Anya! Do not use that name to call me!"
“S-Sorry ...... Anya.”
"It is Anya-sama."
"Yes... Anya-sama."
The teenager knee for quite a while. On matter what happened in the past, Anya is the leader of the Tantalos tribe. No matter how familiar he is to her, there is still hierarchy, otherwise it is impossible to rule the others.
"And then happened is no wrong?"
"Th-That is the <Ironblood Valkyrie> just came to visit Ansarivan, which also caused quite a stir."
"What!"
Anya’s eyes widened.
<Ironblood Valkyrie> - The Lautreamont Knight Country’s first Princess, Princess Veronica. Her reputation has shoke the whole continent.
Veronica intervene in many ethnic strife around the continent, thus increasing in number of loss of those guerrilla forces.
This also includes many Tantalos’s fighters.
It is not exaggerating to say she is an enemy to all Tantalos.
"How long does Veronica is expected to stay?"
"According to official sources, five days ......"
If she rush there non-stop, in three days arrive at Ansarivan. For Anya who trained in the mountainous areas, it is but a slight distance. It has long been investigated that the defence of Ansarivan is very weak and vulnerable. If you took a gamble, you even have the opportunity to assassinate Veronica- But Anya quickly dispelled such idea.
Because she remember Milgauss command before he return to the Empire.
- During this period when I left, you are to investigate clearly the ins and outs of the Ark-Dragner who defeated the Necromancia.
Not just Anya, for Tantalos tribe too is also the same, Milgauss command is supreme and not to be defy.
Milgauss only order them to spy. Even if it is a godsend, Anya must not recklessly attack Veronica.
“Uh ... that ... "
"What happened?"
Looking at the hesitant look of the teenager, Anya sense something bad.
"The thing is ...... uh ...... after hearing the name <Ironblood Valkyrie>, the rest have leave for Ansarivan.”
"What did you say!"
Anya swing her long hair, and the chair is knock down.
"The rest" that the guy said are the Tantalos who followed Anya down from the mountains to assist Milgauss, they are also Anya’s subordinate.
"I, I have tried to stop them! But Valery, Micha, Sergi ...... they didn’t listen to my advice."
"They just too reckless!"
Since Milgauss returned to the Empire, Anya let Valery rest. This is because, she knows that they who are always careless, do not fit in spying activities.
The rest since they have heard the name of Veronica they get carried away by their emotions, Anya understand this.
The problem is blindly provoking the Knight country is not a wise move.
The Zepharos Empire over the past 50 years, with their leading Mechanical engineering non-stop expending their armies, but the strength is still not on an equal footing with the Dragons. They still have bear with it.
At least before the Necromancia had officially come in handy -
"I will immediately leave for Ansarivan!"
"Ehhh??? Anya...- sama also want to join the assassination?"
"It is just the opposite I have to stop those guys!"
Anya raised her head resolutely and she rushed out of the room.
Part 2
"It is not suitable for me ...... with I should say that, fortunately it does not suit me."
Ash, who was forcibly taken to the airship Silvanus, for the first time in his life put on the attire of a butler.
His black tuxedo gives out an extra formal feeling, and there is a white bow tie at his neckline.
With the exception of is left hand is wrapped up in bandages like usual. It is better to say that he uses it as a small protest against Veronica, rather than to cover his <Seikoku>.
“Ash-kun, have you finished changing?"
A cheerful voice emerged from behind the door.
When Ash who froze in front of the mirror turned around, the owner of the voice opened the door and walked into the dressing room.
She is dressed in maid attire. Right after Veronica returned to the airship, she is given the responsible to take care of Ash.
Once he saw the maid’s cheerful smile, Ash suddenly get an unbelievable feeling of Deja Vu.
"Ah yeah! Ash-kun! This attire suits you very well!"
"Even with such praise, I don’t know what’s so happy about it."
"Hu ~? Why? You are really handsome!"
The maid somehow her foot slipped and she fell.
"Careful!"
Ash rushed to stretch out of his hand, but the helpless maid lunged forward with a greater force than expected, even Ash also loses his balance.
"Ouch!"
While being stimulated by the maid’s soft body parts until he blush, the two of them fell to the ground together.
"It hurts...... It hurts....."
Ash who is trying to get up from the ground, found out that his left hand is grabbing the maid's breast. Not only was he shocked, because her breast is not only soft, but it is also too big for as to hold it with one hand.
At the same time, a fragrance fruity smell entered his nose, Ash's cheeks suddenly became hot.
"S-Sorry!"
"No, no ... It is my entire fault ..."
Ash quickly recovers from the ground, reach out his hand to give the maid a lift. The maid somehow blushed and held his hand.
Only then, again Ash faces the maid.
Uhh, may I ask your name...? "
"I am Primrose Shelley. The servant of Silvanus. Please call me Prim, it sounds cuter.
The surname Shelley sounds familiar to Ash.
"I would like to ask ......are you relative with Cosette Shirley-san?"
"Ah!"
Prim suddenly exposed a cheerful smile. The two huge lump of meat with a "plop, plop" shoke twice.
"Do you know Cosette? She is my younger sister!"
"I see ... you really looked alike."
No wonder previously he had the feeling of Deja Vu.
The only thing is Prim give a more matured feeling than Cosette. Especially her body, when he remembers the feeling in his palm just now, Ash’s mood became impetuous.
"Ya, everybody say that, but ...... I am not like Cosette with a good working ability, I’m always culmsy."
After Prim blew her nose, with the hem of her apron, she wiped her tears.
"However, Ash-kun, you are my first kohai!"[1]I will make every effort to teach you!"
Seeing Prim’s fists are full of fighting spirit, Ash awkwardly explains:
"You have misunderstood. I did not come here to work!"
"Err, is that so?"
Prim is surprised for a moment.
"I am a student of the Dragon Riding Academy! It is just that the rude and unreasonable Princess with force brought me here. ......
"So to say, are you by any chance...... a breeder?"
"Uuh ... basically I’m."
As an irregular, Ash did not dare to admit loudly.
"My God! I’ve been calling you 'Ash-kun' ...... this is unforgivable! Please allow me to address you as 'Ash-sama' in the future! If you refuse my apologize I will immediately commit suicide! "
"Ehhhhh!!! Just call me whatever you want! Just don’t die!"
Ash is desperately trying to appease her mood.
"... I had made a laughing stock of myself in front of you. Anyway, why does Ash-sama became a butler in this airship?"
Prim’s simple question made Ash cannot help but sighed.
"I would also like to ask why ..."
“- If you want to know, then I'll generously tell you? "
The owner of the solemn voice from the doorway is none other than Veronica the culprit.
As usual she is with her suit of armour, majestically standing in the doorway.
"Her Royal Highness Princess!"
Prim is shocked, but she still respectfully bows.
In contrast, Ash cannot help but burst into roaring:
"Not bad, I really wish that you will immediately tell me!"
"I'll tell you why- Because of the fun."
Ash doubts his ears.
"I remember that I heard the word 'fun' ...?"
“Otherwise I can also replace by ' to pass time' if you don’t like it.”
Ash collapsed.
"B-Because of this reason ......the situation had turned out this way?"
"Exactly."
After replying coldly, Veronica looked at Prim.
“Prim, for the time being, make this kid your subordinate and educate him well, understood?”
"Yes Princess!"
Turing her back against Prim, purposely create some clashing sounds with her armour, Veronica left without even looking back.
“Wh-What is going to happen?”
While ignoring Ash feelings, Prim held his hand-
"Alright, Ash-sama, let’s get to work!"
Triumphantly put on a pose and run ahead of him –
"Hold on! That side has a wall!"
"Huh?"
Ash’s warning is turned a deaf ear, Prim knocked into the wall.
Part 3
Sweeping, cleaning, cooking...... Ash follow Prim the whole time, reluctantly helped with the various chores within the ship.
Only that Prim is a lot more clumsier than Ash thought, for example, she would fall in a space without any obstacle, break a pile of plates, tipped a bucket of water in one of the corridors...... and many other embarrassing things.
Unconsciously, whenever Prim wanted to do anything -
"I’ll do it!"
Ash will complete it on her behalf.
They confused many people regarding who is the true senpai[2].
Works that need to be done is like a huge mountain. Until the sky had turned dark, Ash only then realized that it is already nightfall.
According to Prim, the ship is now in its rest state, strictly speaking, there has been less work. The workload during flight will increase drastically.
This gigantic machine can actually carry dozens of crew and cargo during the flight - until now it is still difficult for Ash to believe it.
Part 4
Only until after Veronica finish her dinner, Ash is allowed to rest.
After receiving his meal in the kitchen, he entered the servant’s lounge. The empty room surprise Ash a little bit.
"Well, it's also alright this way."
Ash find a place to sit down, the start his meal.
The dishes tonight are walnut bread, vegetable stewed duck, cabbage and corn salad. There is not much difference from eating this compare to the students’ restaurant.
The taste not bad, but it is not good until someone will appreciate it will tears.
Ash suddenly remembered an image of Veronica dining.
The dishes that Veronica ate are similar to his. It seems that, rather than the taste, she pay more attention to nutritional balance.
-The thought of eating made Ash miss Eco.
"Did Eco obediently eat ...?"
Dragons basically eat five meals per day.
Even though Eco is born in the form of a delicate and charming girl, but she is no exception. Now, Ash didn’t have any spare energy to take care of Eco, he can only look forward to Cosette’s and Rebecca’s help.
After eating, Ash looks around the lounge.
The bookshelf placed beside the wall has novels and manual books. Anyway, there is still time to rest, Ash walked towards the bookshelf to look for books that he is interested in. In the end he found a title that excites his curiosity.
"This is ... ' The Sky Dragon Knight Chronicles'?"
The bookshelf has one to nine episodes of the series, the book seem to be very popular. The size of these books can be put into a bag and carry them all over, the cover illustration is the preferred choice girls who are in their teens.
So, the handsome Dragon Knight on the illustration of the cover of is that famous <Silver Knight>.
"Damn, it is all because of this novel."
Even though he is angry and complained, but since he couldn’t find any other books, Ash read this book since it is better than none.
The protagonist Kane an ordinary humble student in school, but after nightfall, he became the Silver Knight to fight off evil. Alisha the heroine, on the other hand is Kane's childhood friend, she usually thinks that the useless Kane is a good for nothing.
In the beginning of the story, the unfortunate Alisha caught in a kidnapping case, later the heroic <Silver Knight> appear and successfully saved her out of the woods, and captivated her mind.
Of course, she did not know that Kane is actually the same person with the <Silver Knight>-
"Hmm ... I didn’t expect it to be quite interesting."
In the story, Kane, in order to avoid his true identity from being revealed, the efforts that he put in, will make people cry, this made Ash think about himself.
On the second half of the story, Kane is in a bitter struggle with a mysterious dragon. The results are shocking, it seems that the dragon is modify to a mechanical dragon from its physical body with the Empire’s technological.
Facing such abnormally strong enemy, how is Kane going to fight against it – Ash is attracted with the exciting plot and quickly flip the page. Later, Kane use ice magic to freeze the dragon control device to reduce the temperature to a low temperature until the power the cease, forcing the device to stop.
Therefore, the story is ends happily.
"Well ......it is also good to read some books occasionally."
When Ash intend to continue reading the second episode- "Ash-sama! It turned out that you are here!"
The badly bruised Prim rushed into the lounge.
"Prim-san? Anything? Why are you panicking like that?"
"T-T-The .....Her Royal Highness Princess asks for you!"
Ash with a surprised face stood up.
"I just thought that I’m finally free! So ... Where shall I go to?"
"That......"
"That......?"
“The location is the bathroom! I'll lead you there! "
"Hold on!...... What’s the current situation?"
Why did he need to go to the bathroom? Ash senses something bad.
"Come on, Ash-sama. The princess command is not to be defied! Let’s depart!"
Prim pulled Ash’s arm and ran.
"Wait a minute, there is a wall!"
"Uwa ......"
A sound of "Bang" is heard, there is now an addition wound on Prim’s body.
Part 5
"Come in, Ash."
Veronica’s grim voice came from the other side of the frosted glass.
"Her Royal Highness Princess already said so, just walked in boldly."
Even though Prim gives him a nudge while smiling, but Ash no matter what stood still.
Veronica is in the bathroom. With her armour off her body, the outline of her body is shown is on the frosted glass that is separating the bathroom and dressing room.
Needless to say, that the outline is obviously naked.
"But ... I'm a guy ..."
"What are you procrastinating for? Do you want to be beheaded?"
Veronica’s voice is sounded behind the frosted glass. It is no joke if he was arrested and beheaded in a place like this.
"Come this way, please."
There is already four maids waiting in the changing room.
"Hurry, hurry, Ash-sama! Quickly take off your clothes!"
Prim said to Ash from behind.
"Slightly, wait for a moment! I'm not mentally prepared ..."
“Ash- sama you are too naive! Once I resorted to the art of stripping, anyone will instantly become naked! Now-! "
"Uwaa! Prim-san why do you take off your clothes!"
With a busty breast in front, Ash’s body cannot help but stiffen.
"Ah, I made a mistake ... tee hee."
"How do you mistake your own clothes with the others?"
Even when Ash moves his sight away, he still could not help but commented.
"Hey! Prim, could you please not intervene! "
The four maids push Prim aside and surround Ash.
“Sorry, Ash-sama, we are merely acting upon Her Royal Highness Princess’s orders!"
"Err ... Can I take it off myself ...?"
"Please obediently submit!"
Hands from all directions stretched out to seize Ash’s clothes. Because they are all women, even if Ash tried to resist, he cannot do it too rough ...Before Ash could make up his mind, his tuxedo and shirt are stripped off, and even his pants is cast aside.
"Wuu ..." [3]
Until the bandage on his left hand is also removed mercilessly by the maids, Ash completely naked is taken into the bathroom.
