Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

In order for Ella to deliver the letter to Gray Wind as quickly as possible, Milin specially summoned his white horse for Ella to use.

"Are you okay?" After carefully wrapping up the letter written by Milin and the porcelain bottle containing the Originium crystal, Ella, who was dressed in light clothing, looked at the pure white horse that didn't even have a saddle or bridle in a strange way.

"This is Mearas, the king of horses in Rohan. It will send you there safely and back again." Milin said to Ella.

"Mearas? Rohan? Admiral, when did you go to Middle-earth?" Ella looked at Milin strangely. It seemed that the ship girl world where Ella was located had Mr. Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings series.

"The summoned one is just like summoning you in the first place." Milin, who also wanted to visit Middle-earth, continued: "By the way, the rarity of this horse is SR."

"..." Ella, the R-class hero who didn't expect to be surpassed by a horse, said with a stiff expression: "Admiral, you wouldn't say this horse is Jieying, right?"

"It's Jieying, but it's not the later Jieying. The later Jieying is the Shenju." The second half of Milin's unfinished sentence is that the rarity of the Shenju version of Jieying is SSR.

"Okay, then I will also experience the treatment of a white-robed wizard." Ella, who didn't even bring a weapon and went into battle as lightly as possible, got on her horse.

As soon as she got on the horse, Ella discovered that the horse could actively adjust its movements to the rider's posture and center of gravity.

With this attribute, even a novice who doesn't know how to ride a horse can still ride steadily without the help of saddle and reins.

"Go quickly, maybe I can still eat the midnight snack you made at night." Milin said.

"Is this the real reason why you lent me this horse, Admiral!" Ella said speechlessly.

Neither admitting nor denying, Mirin just slapped Hakuba's leg hard.

Mealas, who is known for his understanding of humanity, immediately spread his hooves and led Ella to gallop in the direction she came from.

After watching Ella disappear into the jungle, Milin turned around and looked at Lapland on the carriage and said:

"Let's go, it's time to discuss your custody issue."

Lapland, who had changed into some loose clothes and sat beside the carriage with his legs dangling, said after hearing Milin's words:

"Dragon... Go to the Swordsman Tower by yourself, I don't want to go."

"What? Are you afraid that your Originium Disease will infect the Wolf God?" Milin asked strangely.

"No, how could Lord Wolf God care about such a trivial matter!" Lapland said with wandering eyes: "I just don't want Lord Wolf God to see me in this embarrassing state."

"Okay, then you stay in the car and don't move around. I'll buy you some oranges on the way."

Milin, who saw Lapland's insincere words, laughed.

"..." Lapland, who didn't understand why Milin mentioned oranges, glanced at Milin in confusion.

Afterwards, as Mirin said, his first words after finding Holo were:

"Are there any oranges for sale?"

The very abrupt question made Holo, who had a businesslike squinting smile on his face when he saw Mirin, slightly startled.

"tangerine?"

Looking at Holo, she seemed to interpret the orange in Mirin's words as something else.

"...I just asked if there are any oranges. I plan to buy some and eat them with Lapland." Milin was a little surprised by Holo's reaction and said:

"Is that so? I'm sorry, Mr. Dragon King, but we worry too much." Holo said with a squinted smile again.

"Is it possible that oranges have a special meaning to you?"

Milin is even more strange.

"In the wolf tribe, oranges represent war and death." Holo explained briefly.

"Why does it sound so much like the Godfather? Wait, that seems to be true."

Milin suddenly remembered that there was Texas in this world, and that Syracuse, where the Lupus tribe lived in another world, was a standard mafia-style country.

The Nords in this world, who are divided by blood settlements, actually have this tradition.

But aren’t oranges native to warmer areas in the south? Wouldn’t they turn into tangerines in the cold north?

"Master Dragon King, your guess is correct. Oranges growing in the north are bitter and astringent. Bitterness is the only smell of war and death." Holo replied in a matter-of-fact tone.

"That's true." Milin thought there was nothing wrong with this statement.

"Master Dragon King, since you want to eat oranges, why don't you let the child come and get them directly? Why do you still want to buy them?" Holo asked a little strangely.

"Oh, right..." Milin, who also realized that the topic was diverted by Orange after being reminded by Holo, continued: "I came to you to talk about the custody of Lapland's child."

"???"

There were a lot of question marks on Holo's face. She was just planning to take care of it, but why didn't she take care of it?

Seeing Holo's confused look, Mirin continued:

"I'm not kidding."

Seeing Milin's serious look, Holo put away her narrowed smile and thought seriously for a while before saying:

"Maybe this is a good future for that child, but sir, can you tell us the reason?"

"It's a long story." Milin paused for a moment and said in a friendly tone: "It was an accident at the beginning."

"Master Dragon King, you don't have to be like this, we will listen very carefully." Holo, who noticed what Milin was doing, immediately narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Well, you're used to it. I'm just worried that you won't accept it so easily. After all, this is quite an exaggeration." Milin smiled sheepishly.

"How can you say that we are also wolves~gods~oh~" Holo smiled and said her identity word by word...even though she belonged to her ex.

"Okay, in fact, to sum up, there is something in Lapland that may destroy the world. I must take her with me to prevent the world from being really destroyed."

So Milin simply summed up everything he wanted to say.

"..." Holo's expression froze for a moment. If he hadn't blinked, people would have mistakenly thought that the wolf god had been cast under a restraining spell.

"So I just said that this is quite difficult to accept..." Milin sighed and looked back at the carriage, just in time to see Lapland sneaking out of the carriage.

"??"

How long have you been at peace?

Although Originium Disease is not highly contagious when it is still in the human body, Milin is not sure whether the Originium will change its nature after being transferred to another world.

This is also the reason why Milin deliberately separated a part from his body for Aila to bring to Gray Wind for research.

Before determining the characteristics of the Origin Stone in this world, Milin decided to isolate Lapland from other people.

"We'll talk about it later. I'll get that naughty kid back first!" Milin said, turning around and running in the direction where Lapland was sneaking away.

Looking at Milin's back, Holo's expression was still as stiff as a freeze frame and it took a while before he said to himself:

"Has the ominous fate of the twins finally come true?"

"Why? We obviously took her away from the kid in Texas..."
