Chapter 100

Chapter 100 – Chapter 16: Summons #2

The biggest advantage of a flying ship was the ability to ignore the terrain .

There were no inevitable detours like there was when moving through a land route . Of course, they had to consider the air flow, but it wasn’t like a carriage that had to go through a mountain or get past a river .

In order to get to the Lycanthropes’ Palace from Spider Forest, they had to reach the lycanthrope territory and then cross half of it .

It would take more than 10 days on land, but it was a different story with a flying ship .

Sepira, the vice captain and navigator, calculated that it would take two to three days to reach the palace .

During that time, the party didn’t sit quietly .

Amita, who was in Daphne’s arms as always, gathered everyone in the captain’s room, the largest room on the airship .

"Now that the rough preparations are over, I will receive individual orders . ”

The look on Amita’s face almost looked like a human expression . It was the expression of someone who didn’t want to do a chore but had accepted it anyway .

"Tell me the equipment you each desire . ”

Daphne was the first one to reply to Amita’s words . She caressed Amita’s fur and said,

"I want armor, as I mentioned before . ”

"Yes, I’ll make a dress with embroidered protective spells . ”

Amita smiled and nodded . It seemed like they had already talked many times about what Daphne wanted .

Carack blinked and asked,

"Huh? Raccoon person, is that possible? Isn’t it tough for you to sew?”

“Why, do you have a complaint? Eh? Do you have a complaint?”

Amita snarled at Carack, but the rest of the group just looked at Amita’s little hands . The thought of a raccoon sewing with those hands was very cute .

Carack also had similar thoughts, but instead of teasing them, he just replied with a wide smile,

"No, raccoon person is very talented . ”

“Bah . ”

Amita snorted, but they didn’t hate the praise .

"Well, let’s keep going . Satyr, tell me your order . ”

Karma stared at Amita, then said in a cautious voice,

"I will ask for armor . ”

She hadn’t participated in the fight to defend the last flame as well as the negotiation .

Amita looked Karma up and down after hearing her order .

"You prefer speed, so I’ll have to make it light . It will be a partial armour . Okay, next . ”

Amita’s gaze turned to Seira this time and she responded with a serious expression,

"I need armour that can be worn after a transformation . ”

"Well, I guess I’ll need to make resizeable armor . It depends on the material, but the armour will basically be heavier, so the defense is higher . Is that want you want?”

"Some weight is okay . I’ll use it after the transformation . I just want you to consider that I’m a warrior who uses my fists . ”

"Understood . I will take it into account . . . . You?”

Amita’s voice abruptly changed at the end . It was because Carack was the target .

Carack scratched his chin and grinned .

“I also want armor . ”

After Karma and Seira, that made three consecutive orders for armor . Daphne’s order of clothes also belonged to the category of armor, so all the orders from the party so far had been armor .

Amita jumped from Daphne’s arms and pounded the floor with their tail .

"Why are the orders all armor? Isn’t this too much? Eh? Armour is the hardest, so are you trying to mess with me?”

The biggest piece of equipment was armour .

Carack waved his hands and shook his head like there was a misunderstanding .

"Armor is necessary . Who wouldn’t want sturdy armor with the purpose of keeping them alive to come from the best craftsman? Moreover, Karma, Seira and I are the escorts of princes and princess . There are many things to be done, so it is natural that we need armor . ”

It was a logical claim for an orc .

Amita couldn’t come up with any way to refute it, so they sighed and shook their fists . Sepira, who was standing with Silvan in a corner, stared at Carack with amazement .

Delia noticed the gaze and moved to block Sepira’s view . Amita jumped back onto Daphne’s lap and looked at Delia .

“You? Do you also want armor?”

Delia was an aide like Carack and Seira .

However, Delia shook her head .

"Amita, I want a shield that is small and light but has good defense and a wide range of defenses . ”

Delia was a dark elf and dark elves were usually highly exposed . Exposed armor naturally had a low defense, so instead of flimsy armor, she wanted a shield .

At Delia’s order, Carack and the others all looked at Amita nervously . Delia’s order was quite contradictory, so they thought Amita would become angry .

A shield that was small and light, yet it should have excellent defense and a wide defense range . Was that even possible?

“A shield . It is for defense, but it isn’t armour . Okay, I like it . "

It was likely that it was possible .

Amita nodded and Delia smiled as she returned to her seat .

The aides finished making their orders, so the only remaining ones were the royal children .

Amita turned to Caitlin first .

“What about the amazing princess?”

“Uh . . . um . . . ”

Caitlin licked her lips and didn’t answer immediately because she couldn’t make a decision between armor and gauntlets .

Caitlin had grown up among lycanthropes who never used weapons, so she had never thought about using weapons . It was because she didn’t think there was a weapon that a fists warrior could use .

However, Caitlin’s thoughts changed somewhat after seeing In-gong use Earth Quaker . She wanted to have gauntlets that she could use as a weapon . However, she would also like to have armor .

While Caitlin was worrying about it, Amita started to wave their tail with impatience .

Amidst everyone’s nervousness, In-gong pulled Caitlin’s hand and whispered to her,

“Ask for armor . I’ll give you gauntlets from my share . ”

Caitlin’s eyes shone at In-gong’s suggestion .

“Really? Is it okay?”

Everybody became curious because Caitlin’s reply wasn’t a whisper . In-gong grinned and nodded .

“Yes, it is . ”

In-gong was supposed to receive a full set from Amita .

Gauntlets and a shield were included in the full set, but In-gong already had Earth Quaker and White Eagle . So, the gauntlets and shield would be best placed somewhere else .

Caitlin would receive the gauntlets and Carack would get the shield .

It was the reason Carack selected armor instead of a shield .

Thanks to In-gong’s consideration, Caitlin’s worries were relieved and she smiled brightly .

“Please make me armor . Light and sturdy armor should be good . ”

It was the sixth defense and fifth armor order . Amita sighed as their shoulders sagged .

"I am going to be an armor craftsman . Okay, I will do it since it is your order . ”

Amita, whose expression had become aloof, turned toward Felicia .

"What do you want? Armor?”

The word ‘armor’ emerged from Amita’s mouth, but their eyes were full of expectations .

Felicia was a dark elf like Delia . So, right now, she was wearing clothes that exposed her belly and her shoulders .

Felicia, who received Amita’s burning gaze, covered her face with her fan . She looked somewhere else and said,

“A sword . ”

Sword . . .

It wasn’t a shield or armor but a sword .

“Huh? Aren’t you a magician?”

Amita asked with startled eyes . Felicia raised her fan a little bit higher and replied,

"I'm not using it . Please make a sword for Silvan . ”

“Felicia?”

Startled, Silvan cried out . Felicia glanced at him and muttered in a small voice,

"Well, I am a magician . I have no need for weapons or armor . ”

Her face was covered with a fan, but her long ears had turned red . Everyone smiled warmly as they saw Felicia’s red ears .

“Felicia!”

Silvan was unable to hold back and pulled Felicia into a hug . They were a twin brother and sister, but the two of them were quite different . Felicia cried out from within Silvan’s arms,

"Oh, come on! Do you want me to change my order?”

However, her face was still red . Instead of releasing Felicia, Silvan chuckled and kissed her forehead and cheeks .

"You know that Oppa loves you right?”

"I know . ”

Felicia responded with a small smile and Silvan laughed like he was someone who had obtained the world .

Amita nodded with a cheery expression .

"I love you too . A sword, good . ”

The seventh order was a weapon .

However, there was still a long way to go . Amita sighed as they looked at the person whose order would be the same amount as the previous ones combined .

"A full set . . . So, full body armour, shield and a helmet?”

The full set also included earrings and nose rings .

In-gong replied with a grin that was similar to Carack’s .

"Please tune Earth Quaker and White Eagle as well, thank you . ”

“The last flame . . . ”

Amita lamented, but the last flame was on In-gong’s side . Moreover, Amita still had one more trial remaining .

"Speaking raccoon, don’t forget about me . I also need to give my order . ”

Green Wind appeared next to In-gong . Amita looked up at Green Wind and didn’t have the power to tap the floor with their tail anymore .

"What would you like?”

"Well, I want to have something that can help Master . I am Master’s and Master is mine . Master, what would you like?”

The words were good for In-gong but terrible for Amita . Not just the orc, but the master and subordinates were all vicious .

In-gong smiled and stroked Green Wind’s head .

"I want a special order . It is also related to the adjustment of Earth Quaker and White Eagle, so I think we should talk some more . ”

"It is as Master says . ”

Green Wind smiled at Amita who nodded .

"Yes, I’ll talk to you again later . Anyway . . . this flying ship has a fairly large smithy . I’ll start working there . Also, 9th Prince . ”

Amita got up and pointed at In-gong .

"Will there be a smithy at your mansion in the Demon King’s Palace?”

“Yes . ”

In fact, it didn’t have a smithy . However, he had accumulated many merits, so he would be able to install new facilities .

Once all the orders were finished, Amita covered their face with a hand .

"I’m a complete slave, a slave . I’m going to be churning out equipment . Normally, I only make one thing a year, but now, I have to make so much . ”

"Amita, please do it well . "

Daphne hugged the lamenting Amita as if to comfort them .

&

The duration of ten days was long as well as short .

Amita spent the remaining nine days working .

To save time, the Black Flame Dragon didn’t stop moving during the night and thanks to Sepira’s navigation, they reached the Lycanthrope Palace in two days .

Although all types of magic existed in the Demon World, it was rare to find a flying ship like the Black Flame Dragon .

The black sails of the Black Flame Dragon could be called its form of identification .

The lycanthropes, who had noticed the Black Flame Dragon early on, showed fast and natural movements as the spread the news through long distance communication methods .

The designated landing site of the Black Flame Dragon was a land on the outskirts of the Lycanthrope Palace .

Flying ships were rare for lycanthropes, so there wasn’t a proper landing ground at the palace . There were concerns that landing elsewhere would ruin the well-kept gardens .

With the exception of Caitlin and Seira who were returning home, the rest of the group were tense as the palace got closer .

This wasn’t the Demon King’s Palace but the home of the 4th Queen .

Felicia and Silvan were children of the 3rd Queen, so it was natural for them to feel nervous .

Then the Black Flame Dragon finally landed on the ground .

In-gong saw a crowd of people from the deck . 20 members of the lycanthropes’ royal guards were gathered below . The person at the front was obviously the leader, Ludwig .

In-gong’s gaze was directed a little bit further away . He could feel the stare even from a long distance .

The 4th Queen, Elaine Moonlight . . .

She looked exactly like Caitlin but was a totally different woman .

Elaine stood among the Blood Companions and laughed as she looked at In-gong .

In-gong laughed as well . Standing next to her were Chris and the lycanthrope master, Bruce .

Silvan’s crew put out a set of foldable stairs .

Elaine asked with her eyes,

‘Have you made a decision?’

This was referring to the suggestion she had made .

In-gong stepped forward . It was time to tell her the answer .

"Is that a pet?”
