Apôtre des Dieux - Chapitre 160
160. Reconnaissance
Rubeum tilted his neck to look up at me, as I patted his back.
「Rubeum, do you mind patrolling the area?」
「Kyuru? Bien sûr!」
Rubeum happily shook his tail.
「Patrol, vous dites? Non, I can’t really ask that of a student.」
「We’d be relying on Rubeum actually…」
「That’s your beast. It’s the same thing.」
Jema was reluctant, but Rubeum boldly declared.
「Rubeum is good at that. Kyuru!」
"Est-ce vrai?」
Rubeum looks like a very smart and cute baby dragon.
Par conséquent, Jema probably didn’t get the feeling that he was good at detecting presence.
"Oui. Just between us, when it comes to presence detection, Rubeum is better than my master.」
"Quoi? Better than the Small Sage?」
"Oui."
Rubeum taught me and my disciples how to detect and hide presence. He is definitely the best in that area.
If Rubeum patrolled the surroundings, we would definitely be able to detect the attack of the Cult in advance.
「Rubeum is going to patrol now. Kyururu.」
「I’ll follow too.」Jema said.
"Non, c'est bon. Rubeum is small, so less noticeable. Kyuru.
「That is also true, mais…"
"Pour cette raison, Xe…… the President also gave Rubeum a ring. Kyururu.」
Because Jema was around, Rubeum addressed Xenovia as the President.
Rubeum’s thoughtfulness is amazing for a baby dragon.
「The President did? Then can I count on you, Rouge?」
"Bien sûr. Kyururu.」
Rubeum shook his tail.
"Alors, I’m off now. Kyuru.
「Be careful.」I said.
"Je sais. Kyuru.
And then Rubeum erased his presence.
Even though he was right in front of us, sa présence a disparu.
"Quoi!」
Jema exclaimed at Rubeum’s brilliant technique.
Puis, Rubeum took off to the skies.
The sun had already set. en outre, Rubeum’s presence concealment technique was amazing.
Even though I knew that Rubeum was there, and even though I was squinting my eyes, it was quite difficult to find him.
"Sera. Rubeum is really amazing.」
"Merci."
「As expected of the disciple of the Small Sage.」
「But Rubeum is the one who is amazing, droite?」
「And you tamed that Rubeum. You can take pride in that.」
"Oui, merci."
While we were talking about that, Rubeum disappeared.
「I wonder if Rubeum is going to be okay?」
Rosetta murmured, looking at the sky with a worried look.
Après un moment, it started to rain.
I had Rosetta, Tina, and Arti enter the tent.
pourtant, I waited outside.
It was just unpleasant to have Rubeum getting wet in the rain and me being in the comfort of a tent.
「Pii!」
Fluffy climbed onto my shoulders. Probably trying to act as an umbrella.
"C'est bon, Fluffy.」
While stroking Fluffy, I called on Rubeum.
「Rubeum. Est-ce que ça va?」
『I’m okay. But something started to move. Kyuru.』
If something started to move at the same time as the rain, it is highly likely to be a subordinate of the Cult.
"Compris. Stay vigilant.」
『All right. Kyuru.』
Jema a dit, as she listened in from the side.
「So the possibility of the attack was true, hein."
「Jema-sensei. I don’t know how much you’ve been told by the President, but the enemy’s aim is most likely you.」
「I bet.」
「If you already know that, then I think you should be on stand by here with Arti and the others.」
"Sera, qu'est-ce que tu dis?」
「You don’t have to fall into the enemy trap.」
Quand j'ai dit ça, Jema intently stared at me.
"Toujours. If a student is attacked, whether it’s an enemy trap or not, I have to risk my life to help them. That is what it means to be a teacher.」
"Je comprends."
「But tactics-wise, what you said was correct.」
À ce moment-là, Tina, Rosette, and Arti came out of the tent.
Shiro and Fluffy were also standing proudly.
D'ailleurs, Fay was in my pocket the entire time.
"Sera. Leave the enemy to us.」Rosetta said.
"Ouais. We should be useful too.」Tina said.
And Arti nodded silently.
「That’s reassuring. Right now I’m waiting for Rubeum’s follow-up information.」
The attackers of the Cult will probably attack simultaneously.
Most of them will be at a level where the other teachers and assistants can barely hold them back.
And there’s no doubt there will be a special unit for assassinating the true target, Jema, during the confusion.
That unit will be the one we’ll have to deal with.
We waited in the rain for a while.
『I found a strong one!』
As the rain gradually grew into a heavy downpour, we received a report from Rubeum.
