"What's this?"

Looking at the huge steel creature in front of her, Louise's eyes widened in surprise. She found that since she summoned Saber, the question she asked most often was "What is this?" After all, she had never heard of these things before.

"This is a VF-19 modified special fighter."

Looking at the fighter plane beside him with pride, Red Ponytail nodded with satisfaction. This was a gift Fang Zheng received in the mecha world. After all, Fang Zheng's position in the mecha world is the highest commander. According to the nature of the mecha world, the highest commander must have his own special mecha, such as the red one with horns and triple speed...

The same is true for the VF-19 Kai, which abandoned the original VF-1 fuselage design and adopted an advanced forward-swept wing fuselage structure, and was equipped with the latest thermonuclear explosive turbojet engine. Not only can it perform FOLD maneuvers alone, it even has tactical deterrence against battleships and fortresses.

In addition, the VF-19 is also equipped with high-mobility micro missiles and wing lasers. Moreover, as a symbol of Fang Zheng, the entire body is painted red, and there is a golden dragon on it - the origin of this paint job is that Fang Zheng had summoned a dragon (actually a flying snake modified by the Zerg) when fighting Britannia in Area 11, so this VF-19 is also called the "Red Dragon".

Fang Zheng naturally accepted the fighter, but never used it. After all, as a commander, he didn't need to go to the battlefield. If Fang Zheng had to go to the battlefield, it would not be a problem that the VF fighter could solve, so Fang Zheng originally just kept the fighter as a souvenir of his reputation after conquering the mecha world.

I didn't expect that one day it would be useful.

To be honest, with just this fighter jet, Red Ponytail can rule the world.

After all, this low-magic world is just so weak.

"Okay, let's get ready and go."

Red Ponytail snapped her fingers, and soon the cockpit opened automatically, revealing the seats inside. Looking at the narrow cockpit, Louise was somewhat conflicted.

"Want to sit on this? It won't be dangerous."

"Of course not. It's very safe inside. But this is a two-seater plane, so it can only accommodate the two of us... Well, the space is actually not small."

Although the cockpit is for two people, Red Ponytail and Louise are both petite, so they don't feel crowded at all. After hearing what Red Ponytail said, Louise nodded, and then she followed Red Ponytail's instructions and planned to climb onto the cockpit from the gangway next to it.

However, at this moment, suddenly, a voice was heard.

"Oh, isn't this Louise? My Louise, long time no see!!"

My Louise?

Hearing this, Red Ponytail turned her head curiously and saw a man riding a griffin falling from the sky and landing not far from them. Then he turned over, raised his arms and walked towards Louise with a laugh.

After seeing the man clearly, Louise's eyes lit up.

"Lord Varudo!"

Who is this pretty boy?

The red ponytail looked at the man in front of her curiously. After all, he was the first man who could make Louise so happy. And...these two people were hugging each other?

"You are still as light as a feather, my lovely Louise."

“…I’m so sorry.”

Facing Varudo's words, Louise blushed and lowered her head, looking like a shy girl. Varudo laughed, put Louise down again, and looked at the red ponytail.

"This is..."

"This is Saber, my familiar."

"Really... I didn't expect it would be just one person."

Hearing Louise's words, Varudo looked at the red ponytail in surprise, and the red ponytail waved her hand as a greeting. Varudo also bowed his head gracefully and saluted the red ponytail.

"Hello, I am Viscount Varudo, the captain of the Griffin Team, Her Majesty the Queen's Magic Guard."

"Hello, I'm Red Ponytail."

She replied calmly, and the red ponytail looked at Louise curiously.

"By the way, what is your relationship?"

"Louise is my fiancée."

Facing the question from Red Ponytail, Varudo gave a calm answer.

“Oh…I see.”

Hearing this, the red ponytail nodded. Although Louise looked younger, she was almost an adult in terms of age, so it was normal for her to have a marriage partner. As for the big age difference between the two of them... that was certainly not a problem.

"So you're here...?"

"I am following the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess to accompany you two to Albion."

Varudo's smile remained unchanged.

"After all, Albion is a long way away, and you two are both girls. It is inevitable that you will encounter danger when you go out, and I am responsible for protecting your safety."

Oh, so it means the princess sent someone to monitor us.

The red-tailed girl was smiling on the surface, but she was saying MMP in her heart. I knew that the woman was not a good person, and it turned out to be true.

"Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. After all, Albion isn't far away. To be honest, we originally planned to go there and come back the same day, and we could even come back for dinner in the evening."

"You are joking, miss."

Varudo obviously didn't take Red Ponytail's words seriously and just thought she was joking.

"Albion isn't close, and it's still... Hehe, anyway, let's go now."

As he spoke, Varudo took Louise's hand and walked towards the griffin, while Red Ponytail watched coldly from the side.

Ouch, you are trying to snatch a woman from me. Are you tired of living?

However, Red Ponytail did not take any action, but just stood there, watching them with a smile. Then, Varudo came to his griffin and took Louise to ride on the griffin. But at this moment, Louise suddenly remembered something and looked at Varudo.

"Lord Varudo, my familiar is still over there."

"Don't worry, my lovely Louise. I have prepared a carriage for her, and this griffin can only carry two people."

"Yes, that's right..."

Hearing this, Louise nodded, and then Varudo smiled at the red ponytail, then waved the reins handsomely.

“…”

The griffin lay there, motionless.

"Set off!"

Varudo whipped the griffin again, but the griffin still lay there, just turned its head and looked at him silently. But then, the griffin raised its butt, and then made a few "puff" sounds, and then a foul smell came with the wind.

As for the griffin, it silently lay back down.

“…”

For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward.

"It looks like your griffin has eaten too much and now has diarrhea."

At this time, Red Ponytail also came over with a smile, but Varudo's face was a little stiff, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Forget it. Animals are unreliable after all. Just rely on me. Let's go, Louise. I'll show you the power of interstellar civilization."

"Ah, um..."

Louise was now also pulled down from the griffin by the red ponytail, and then walked towards the fighter plane in a daze. However, just as she climbed up the gangway to the cockpit, she suddenly came to her senses.

"Wait, what about Lord Varudo?"

"That can't be helped. This is a double cabin and can only accommodate two people at most."

The red ponytail looked at Varudo with a smile and replied with the original words.

"And didn't Mr. Varudo prepare a carriage?"

"Miss, please stop joking. My mission is to protect Louise. How can I be separated from her? No matter what, I have to ensure Louise's safety."

Haha, what you said sounds like the truth. I almost believed it.

Hearing this, Red Ponytail laughed and then her eyes rolled.

"Well, if you don't mind, you can stay in the magazine. There's room. But I have to warn you, it's not comfortable inside the magazine, and it's cold... and it might be noisy. If you can't stand it, you'll be the one in trouble."

"Please rest assured. I am a member of the Royal Magic Guard after all. This little trouble will not be a problem for me."

"Oh well."

I've warned you anyway.

"SABER, are you okay?"

After Red Ponytail climbed into the cockpit, Louise hurriedly asked, and Red Ponytail shrugged her shoulders.

"I asked him to stay in the magazine. I told him it was very cold and noisy there, but he said he was a member of the Magic Guards and this little difficulty wouldn't bother him."

"Of course."

Hearing this, Louise smiled.

"Lord Varudo is very powerful."

"Then let's hope he's not just talking. Get ready. Please fasten your seat belts, put away the tray table, and adjust the seat cushions. We're about to set off!"

As he spoke, Red Ponytail turned on the system. Soon, the dark cockpit became brighter, and the scenery outside was instantly revealed. Seeing this, Louise couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow". Then Red Ponytail pulled the joystick, and the fighter plane began to rise slowly.

“It’s flying?!”

Looking at the scenery outside, Louise's eyes widened in surprise.

How could such a large piece of iron fly so easily? No spells needed, no magic fluctuations? So how did this thing fly? Wasn't it magic?

"Okay, let me look at the map. Albion is... this way, then..."

After taking a look at the map and checking the direction, Red Ponytail suddenly pushed the joystick.

"Pipi Shrimp, let's go!"

“——!!”

The next moment, accompanied by a whistling sonic boom, the fighter plane instantly flew forward and rushed into the clouds in the sky.
