Chapter 104 The Ones who Known A Certain Someone
After the goblin’s village that has been struck by a disaster which already lapsed away. Any sign of conflict in the village were already changed into a feeling of relief. Eventually, the villagers who have been running and hiding from the danger nervously snuck out their faces.
“Is everyone all right?”
“We’re fine. But our place????”
At first, they were overjoyed after confirming each other’s safety, but gradually lose their spirit while looking at the surrounding.
Their village is wretched into horrible state.
A mere goblin’s residence facing the enormous weapon and a titan, moreover a huge beast that has been rampaging around without restrain was nothing more than a pebble.
“Even so everyone, we still have our lives. This is our sign to make a new live, please do not be disheartened”
The village’s chief come up to the front and said that to anyone present. Even though the villagers are still depressed by thinking about it, it’s not like they have completely given up at all.
They have escaped from the fake titans’ attack. In addition, they were already prepared for the worst when the demonic beast has appeared before them. Although they are able to overcome it by sheer luck because of the titan’s effort.
When the village’s chief walks slowly to the titan’s direction, and soon prostrating himself before them.
“We have not enough gratitude for the giants who have fight with the demonic beast and save us in difficulties. We are not sure how much we can repay for that???”
“Do not mind it. You’ve already made our armors and weapons. We’re just to recompense what you did for us. Besides, your dwellings are gone”
The Third-eyed Seat of Brave as he was, he somewhat responded it awkwardly. From the titan perspective, there is no problem for them to not have a house because they could always lie down on the ground. However, it’s not like everybody could do that. For example the goblins, they surely need a village after all.
While they are arguing so, an explosion-like sound of the propulsion engine comes from the sky. Both the titans and goblins are illuminated under the rainbow-colored light. When it looks down ahead in their line of sight, a dreadful specter has come down from the sky. That strange-looking object has a face like a skull and has only the upper half of the human body. The one who has appeared is none other than Kasasagi which had been spreading its armor while leaking a clattering sound.
When Kasasagi cuts down the altitude, the rainbow-colored halo has also narrowed at once. Eventually it began to descend quietly in the middle of everyone gaze. The moment its armor in the chest has opened, a compressed-air sound can be heard. After seeing Ernesti comes from the inside, everyone without exception whatever it was titans or goblins, heave a sigh from their mouths.
“????So, it was truly you, goblin’s braver”
Then everyone in the Kaellous Clan release their tension, leaving no mark in nervousness. Although they were informed beforehand by the young Sorceress, they were still doubting until the saw Eru’s figure. That must be the reason. Meanwhile the Brave throw amazed face at him.
“What kind of dreadful thing is that?”
“How rude, don’t say it that way” he frowned. “This is my newest machine. Although it is still needed more adjustment, she’s such promising child you know”
“I did not mean to ask that!”
Said Eru while not minding despite the fact that they were not too long ago caught in the friendly fire situation. Then the young Sorceress tries to soothe the open-eyed Brave.
“Just like I’ve said right, Brave? However, Magister Eru, I’m also think it was a little???kind of???no I think it is too repulsive”
“With everyone help. We’ve worked hard to finish it even though we have limited materials”
Eru is proudly said that in front of the titans. Adeltrud who also seeing along with the villagers fold her arms around her chest.
“Umm, I think it is impossible to make Eru-kun reflecting what he has done when related to Silhouette Knight”
While looking at such scenery, everyone in the goblin’s village showed complicated face. The one who’ve lend their strength to make Kasasagi was rather they themselves after all. Along with the hardship of assembling it, they were also already understood the way of aero dynamics about. They are indeed in strange position.
“Forget about Kasasagi. Let us discuss about this village from now on, shall we?”
Leave that aside, the villagers start to twitch after hearing Eru’s word who just had regained his sense.
◆
A few days after the fake titans’ assault.
There is many houses standing in here and there hurriedly, the village has been rebuilt by the titan’s help. Although it does seem like a simplest hut, at least it can be used to protect against wind and rain.
In the meantime, everyone in the goblin’s village were searching around to find some usable stuff between the destroyed building. Even though the damage was quite severe, they are still able to stand and regained their spirit again.
“Who were they, anyhow?”
Soon after everything has settled down, the titans are gathered along with the goblin’s village chief to held a meeting. The Brave who just sit with a loud thud scratching his gaze around the goblin’s village chief. Although the village chief was closing his eyes for a while, soon he looks at the Brave strongly and open his mouth.
“They are???? the ones who called, Tutelary Knights”
“You said they are a guardian knight? They didn’t look like that though”
After hearing the village chief’s story, Eru unexpectedly tilt his head.
Granted, there is no such word like a guardian for them who have destroyed the village.
“I though first, they were kind of similar like a giant”
“Don’t lump us together in the same eyes like those!”
Answer Brave with a snarl while screw up his face in disapproval.
“What you’ve seen was not a giant. It was the noble’s mount which called????the Mystical Knight”
Eru suddenly stopped moving. His face shows like he is smiling, though he somewhat turns his head oddly in slow motion.
“Did you just say a Mystic Knight?”
“Yes. A Mystic Knight is the proof as a knight. The ones who’ve mount it will gain status as a noble and called Knight Runner”
“Oh, I see! That’s what they call Knight Runner huh, then???”
Addy goggled at the village chief in surprise. In convey of that word, Eru gradually shows his smile.
“Are you saying the Silhouette Knight???and my Kasasagi have same similarity like them?”
“Indeed, that’s right. Wasn’t that Kasasagi mean to be your Mystic in the beginning?”
The village chief nods. Although it’s a bit different, they might be interjected it like that.
“I get it, that makes sense. I didn’t know that kind of coincidence really do exist, if so then???”
Somewhat Eru starts to think something, soon he nodded gravely.
“I should have hunted them back then it seems”
Thus, everyone beside him has decided to ignore his remark. Leaving the Brave opens his mouth.
“Have your eyes truly seen the truth? Why those Mystical Beasts damned to challenge you? No matter how they look, they were your fellow countryman wasn’t?”
“That’s???one of the reasons I do not fully understand”
The village chief exposed an embarrassed look in each other faces.
“Mmm. Sometimes I do not understand your way of thinking at all”
“At least we know the reason why they had to come here however”
“Hmm?”
“The payment’s day will come shortly. In other words, they must be????”
Then, a commotion has occurred in the outskirts of the village when village chief is trying to explain to them. One of the villagers dashed in with an alarming look.
“Th-this is bad! The nobles????those Mystics have come again!!”
“What!?”
The moment the Brave narrowed his three eyes, a swift sound of the titans’ raising footsteps has paid no heed of the panicked village chief.
“It seems the Mystical Beasts which had fled at that time found themselves back in here. By that means, are they want to inquire with us?”
“But, that kind of thing is????”
Among the pack of the titans, their spirit to battle is already increasing. In other hand, around the village chief was unable to wipe off their confusion.
“While I don’t know the reason of their returns, we can’t just do nothing when we are in danger. Besides, I’m kind of interested with that man-made existence. It seems they will make a good material and somewhat I just wanted to dismantle them too”
“Eru-kun?”
“Village chief-san, the titans and I will face them. Please take everyone with you and leave this place”
“Very well. Right, I leave it the rest to you????”
When Eru tries to walk away, Addy’s arms stretch out from Eru’s back. Then it slipped between his hand, peeking her gaze through it.
“Eru-kun. What about me?”
“I want Addy to protect the villagers instead of me”
“Eh! Leaving me alone again?”
“Our opponent is most likely the Mystical Knights again. Besides, there’s still possibility of another diversion beside the knight”
“Mmmm???Eru-kun. If you’re going to capture Silhouette Knight, please make it one for me! Next time we’ll fight together, alright!”
“Sure, no problem. I intend to exterminate them all in the first place”
Eru is smiling brightly, as expected it sure he will be fine by himself. Granted, Addy looks very satisfied and went to the villager’s direction. On the contrary, the villager chief surrounding was rather trembling for some reason. They think their guardian knight might be annihilated for real.

“Nu, something is strange”
Every clan member in the Kaellous Clan quickly gathered at the entrance of the village. They are ready at the time with armor, variety of weapon, and even the Silhouette Arms. However, there was no sign of them going to attack.
“What the meaning of this. Are they waiting for different attack from somewhere?”
The young Sorceress was squirming her four eyes around. Nevertheless, she hasn’t found any movement that would make them in dangerous situation.
That time, the piercing propulsion’s roar comes along with Kasasagi.
“How is the enemy’s situation? Did they bring up a horde of demonic beasts again?”
“No, Magister. About that????”
The young Sorceress slowly points her finger. Meanwhile Kasasagi is trying to move its neck along with the creaking sound it made.
Inside the forest’s beast trail which leads to the goblin’s village, there’s an enormous human-shaped figure.
It was-- the Mystic Knight, the mount that used like a chivalry across this land and also the goblin’s Guardian Knight.
However, there’s just a single person in there.
Not even a group, none of the demonic beast has come along in there. Just only one person. If they are going to battle like this, they must be very skilled indeed or just a lone drunk man. Still, none of those movement was taken from the Mystical Knight.
The Mystical Knight shows its opened hand which possessed with a claw and slowly sat down just like that to pick up something from its foot. That wasn’t a stance for fighting at all. On its feet there is one goblin despite it was concealed by presence of the Mystical Knight.
Naturally, every attention on that place focuses on that person.
There’s one man who stood proudly on the top of Mystical Knight’s hand. Apparently, he was wearing exquisite leather armor which use the demonic beast as a material. It has a feather-like ornament line up each other, and with that kind of colorful glossy appearance indicating how many influences the person has.
“????Hello! Nice to meet you, the giants other than Rubel Clan!!”
Shout the man with the clear voice and hailed boldly. The Kaellous Clan’s member as they were, they even didn’t dare to fight without warning. Eventually they lowered their caution and decided it wasn’t a fight.
After receiving the gaze from the young Sorceress, the Brave nods in respond and go the front. Face to face with the Mystical Knight, and stare at the small figure who standing on the top of that.
“Goblin, how dare you tries to exchange words after you have once bare your fang on us”
“I am truly regrettable for that! We have circumstances too you see. Our contract is basically, the giant other than Rubel Clan must become an enemy! So, you see, at least I must fight them once, okay?”
“I do not care about your doing. There’s no other choice until us seek our presence to the Hundred Eyes once you’ve bared your fang”
In the front of the Brave who have focused his power on the three eyes of his, that goblin male doesn’t look like he was scared or anything instead he shrugged off his shoulders.
“Haahh” He sighed. “Giants do seem to act like that but, aren’t you tired of it?”
“That does not concern you”
His behavior is way to bold even though he was receiving attack from the Brave who has overflowed with his fighting spirit, and he just laugh it off the stubborn Brave attitude like it was nothing happened.
“Well, whatever. Anyway, the reason I’ve come here alone is not for you guys”
“What”
While he persistently being daring, in the line of his sharp gaze none of the titan can’t be seen. What he sees was the strange doll which floating in the sky. The only lone foreign object that just brought upon this land, the Silhouette Knight; Kasasagi.
“Neither giant nor demonic beast. And yet not even a Mystical Knight????wasn’t it none other than the appearance of that legendary ‘Silhouette Knight’, O my humble visitors!!”
Along with his shout, the propulsion device still continues to roar. Kasasagi slowly passed forward the titan’s head in response to its name.
“It seems he was looking for me. Brave, could you please leave this enquiry to me?”
“?????Very well. However, even it was your request, I cannot leave him alone if he bared his fang again”
“Thank you, I appreciate it. When that time comes, I wouldn’t stop you either”
After finished talking, Eru and Kasasagi faced the Mystical Knight once again while the goblin man laughs in the top of the Mystical Knight’s hand.
“Haha! What kind of appearance is that! Is this truly same like our ancestor!?”
In the front of bizarre looking Kasasagi, he doesn’t show any sign of fear at all. Or rather, he was smiling while bathing in the rainbow-colored light.
“Mu” he frowned in annoyance. “Good grief, either you or everybody else are being disrespectful you know”
While Kasasagi floats in the sky, the armor in the chest has opened.
His opponent is exposing by himself and stand in the front of the titans. Then, Eru should also show himself in response of their manners.
However, when the goblin man took a peek with his eyes on the small figure that appeared from the inside, he laughed himself into convulsions. Although he kind of laughing too much that almost made him stumble from the Mystical Knight’s hand.
“Fuh???hahha, what kind of dream is this! A-are you really a visitor from that far land? I though you are more li-, like a trained warrior! What a lovely little lady you are!!”
“Well then. I wanted to say we’re just a lost person but as I thought I can say same too as a travelers”
Soon after, the goblin man finally settles down his laughter and corrected his posture.
“No, pardon me, this is too much for me. Welcome here, honored guest! No, our separated brethren from the legend. I welcome you from the bottom of my heart!!”
“With that way of speaking, you must know where did we come from then?”
“I know it very well! Yes, very”
The man flapped the feather-like decoration and declared it strongly. The knight that resides in the sky; Kasasagi and the Mystical Knight that dwelling in the land are glaring at each other. Then, the two figures also asserted themselves with dignity, and were facing each other.
“My name is Ernesti Echavalier. The commander of Silver Phoenix Knight Order, now I’m just a mere lost person. May I ask your name?”
“Of course. My name is ‘Oberon’. The ones who rule goblin over this land, in short I’m a king!”
Thus, the knight commander is seeking an audience with the king.
Note:
It can be said that the villagers are either ashamed or proud since their hardwork to build kasasagi is getting ominous vibe from the giants.
The author seems misstyped on his dialogue, in web novel he said ‘Rudel Clan’ but when I check on the ln seems changed into rubel clan again, so it must be editor-san work.
