Symphony for the Insect Princess

"..."

"suck."

"……Hey."

"Shh, what's wrong, Sedraon?"

“…I’m really unhappy right now.”

"why?"

"I'm still asking why, why are you drinking tea in the bar?"

"Did you make any noise? Sorry, I always make noises when I eat or drink. I'll be careful..."

"That's not the problem! Why should I carry you on my back?"

Now the two of them form a wonderful composition.

Sedroon lowered his body, maintaining a surfing-like posture as he flew forward at a height of about five meters above the ground, at a speed of around 300km/h. Wherever he passed, the air waves raised long dust tails.

Charlotte sat on her left shoulder, maintaining the upright posture of a lady, her right hand hooked around Sedroon's neck to maintain balance, and in her left hand she held a small cup of tea and drank it with slurps.

Just like a lady on an outing in the fields, leaning out of the window of her carriage to drink tea - such an elegant temperament.

Although the carriage here is replaced by Sedroon.

Because one shoulder couldn't accommodate Charlotte's plump buttocks, Cedroon had to stretch out his left arm. Half of Charlotte's buttocks rested on his left shoulder, and the other half rested on his upper arm, a very scientific and reasonable distribution.

"What the hell is that?! Get down here!"

"But I'm really lacking in high-speed movement. If I dawdle, I'll only hold you back."

"Is that why you're using me as a fucking vehicle?"

"Stop talking dirty... I'm not using you as a vehicle, I'm just sitting on you."

"What's the difference!?"

"To defeat the Great Mage and the Great War Spirit, we are now in a partnership, right? Cooperation means complementing each other's strengths. You do what I'm not good at, and I do what you're not good at."

"Can't you summon something cooler to sit on? Like a bone dragon or something? Can you summon it?"

"Yes, it's possible, but it's too conspicuous. The death aura released by powerful undead creatures is too strong and can be detected from a long distance."

"Then what kind of tea do you drink?"

"Be careful with your words... You're fast and steady, and there's nothing much to do sitting on you, so why not relax for a while?"

"Fuck you!"

"I told you not to swear... or are you thirsty? Do you want me to feed you?"

"Throw you down."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just mean well."

"Tsk..."

Although he was extremely unhappy, Sedroang endured it for the time being.

There are more important things now. It would be troublesome if I delayed my trip because of arguing with her.

In her free right hand, she clutched a bone fragment, half the size of a palm, glistening white and covered in intricate inscriptions. Crafted from the bones of an ancient species that perished in the distant past, it was a highly advanced wind-based protection. While primarily intended for combat, it was also quite effective for travel.

By this calculation, we will reach Kasol City in about five minutes.

"I hope the prey won't be snatched away by others..."

five minutes later,

In Kasolu City, 18:25——

"Kasolu City, I didn't expect you to be back after just one day away."

"I haven't been to town in a while."

"Forget it, stop talking nonsense and clear out the eyesores first..."

The gate of Kasol City was crowded with people, most of them were guards, but there were also mercenaries, adventurers, thugs and all kinds of other guys.

It's like a garbage dump.

Now Kasolu has become a jar that you can only enter but not exit. It is easy to enter but difficult to exit, but now it seems that even entering is difficult.

"Kill the one in the way, Blade Wheel—"

"Wait! There's no need to make such a big noise!"

"Why can't we make a big noise? I'd rather make the noise as loud as possible, ideally enough to attract the Great Magician and the Great War Spirit directly, saving us from having to search for them one by one."

"Do you want to fight the Great Mage and the Great War Spirit head-on?"

"What else can we do? A sneak attack? That's too boring, right?"

"Even in this situation, you prioritize happiness and excitement..."

"I'm just best at frontal combat. Stealth operations may seem safe, but they're actually not suitable for me at all."

"But……"

"No buts! Why are you so annoying? Dance, Blade of the Blade—eh?"

After talking to Charlotte, he turned around and was about to attack.

It's no longer necessary.

The darkness of death eroded the ground, forming a large dark area. All those trapped in it at the city gate fell limply to the ground, rolled their eyes and fainted, and some even foamed at the mouth.

While they were chatting about this and that, Charlotte had already quietly solved the problem.

“…You.”

"(Smile)"

"Are you mocking me?"

"(Smile smile)"

"You're just a widow in your thirties, don't smile so cutely and playfully, I'll want to fuck you."

“(Smile smile smile)”

"Give me some reaction?"

"I have no obligation to respond to your dirty jokes."

"Ahhh you~ ..."

No matter how you mock her, tease her, or insult her, it's like punching cotton. It doesn't make any difference.

"Hey, look over there."

"Ok?"

On a block not far away, magical lights flashed one after another, accompanied by rumbling sounds.

"It looks like someone is playing a game of chase."

Sedroon jumped up, easily crossed several streets, and landed on the roof of a tall building (Charlotte was sitting on her shoulders again), using the light of the street lamp to check the situation below.

"Oh oh oh..."

"Someone seems to be in trouble?"

The two boys and two girls rushed forward while chattering loudly, followed closely by a group of people wearing the uniforms of the Investigation Corps. Judging from the style of the uniforms, people from the Tower of Babel, the Pantheon, and the Knights were all present.

"Three groups of people chasing a few little kids at the same time?"

"That is to say..."

"Oh, there's a way! The clues will appear as soon as they are mentioned!"

"Looks like I have no choice but to go and help those kids while I'm at it."

"The premise is that they are 'obedient' enough... hehehe..."

"Looks like I have no choice but to go and help those kids while I'm at it."

"The premise is that they are 'obedient' enough... hehehe..."

"Your smile is really weird. You won't be able to make friends this way."

"Are you my mom? You're so noisy!"

"Wait... where did they go?"

While they were talking, the four children suddenly disappeared, as if they had used some magic to conceal their whereabouts.

The guys who cast the magic were quite skilled, and it was impossible to see their traces with just the naked eyes and ears.

but--

"Ah, I found it. It's there."

"A wind-based magic barrier... How boring."

——The two of them saw through it instantly.

"You see it pretty clearly, don't you?"

"As a necromancer, I can see the 'life' of living things. There's no point in hiding myself. What about you?"

"There's no reason, I just can see through this little trick...ah! That woman!"

A woman walked out of the crowd. Although she was dressed in black like Charlotte, she was wearing a black tights, which was completely different from the mourning suit.

"Looks like a wizard."

"He's just a wizard."

"She seems to be looking for them. Can she find them?"

"As long as they're not retarded...ah, we finally caught them."

The wind barrier was easily broken, and the black shadows on the ground swept up the four boys and girls. They struggled hard but it was of no use, and the woman in black made a death declaration with a cold face.

"It's a standard plot."

"Let's save people first... Yeah?"

Just as Charlotte was about to take action, the star map above her head suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a beam of light fell from the sky and headed straight for the woman in black!

"Astrological magic!?"

Sedroon frowned. She recognized this magic. She remembered that it seemed to be from a magician named Stella in the Tower of Babel!

where?

She looked around, but despite her magically enhanced vision, she couldn't find her target. Astral magic was an ultra-long-range bombardment, and a wizard-level astral magician could easily strike a target from thousands of meters away.

(In that case...)

Close your eyes, abandon your vision, and directly feel the flow of magic power to conduct counter-tracking.

"...There is."

Sedroon looked up at the other side of the city. There was an extremely tall tower with the crescent moon as the background, which gave it a sense of solemnity.

"A shadow magician and an astrology magician, what do you think?" she asked Charlotte.

"You mean we each take charge of one?"

"According to the information I heard earlier, there is a shadow magician at the level of a wizard in the Tower of Babel camp, and that astrological magician is from the Pantheon."

"It's from the Pantheon" - Charlotte's shoulders shook slightly when she heard these words.

"They are the keys that can lead us to the Great Mage and the Great War Emperor. You take charge of the Shadow Mage, and I'll take charge of the Astrology Mage. How about that?"

"...Well, that's it. If I were to be in charge of the Pantheon, I might go too far."

"Wow, it looks like there's a story."
