Mr. Zide contacted me three days after Phil and I asked for help.

They said they managed to transport it, so they set a rendezvous point on the coast of the Wayland Empire.

"Soria, it's time."

"Okay."

"Kensei" Phil said to me, combining long, shiny, brown hair in one piece.

Behind her are hundreds of knights of the Knights of the Holy Republic waiting to lead a carriage or stand upright.

The contents of the carriage are metal containers, and the contents are naturally special drugs.

"But how does he carry this?

Phil asks a pure question.

I've thought about it many times. And the closest thing I can think of in my head is

"... is it metastasis?

"I think it's around there, too. Probably the same for the rest of the team. It's a well-known fact that Zed's detection magic and metastasis magic are in the outer realm."

After leaving the Knights of Xera, it is no exaggeration to say that its activity is abnormal.

It's only natural, because they were the people who created the good news of a country that supported it in the first place.

I am very proud to be one of the Alliance's nominees.

... we have to accept the fact that the Kingdom of Xera collapsed as a result.

"You're late, aren't you? I can't find it anywhere....."

Phil says that while looking around.

I certainly can't find it. Surrounded by plains, there are distances for shields such as forests, forests, and mountains.

It's about time I saw you.

"That's why you have to metastasize and come right away."

I am not a loose person.

So unless it's an unexpected event, you won't be late.

If you try to say something like that,

"Hmm, what is it!?"

One of the knights raised a rough voice. The voice was upset and impatient.

Each and every one of us is a fierce man who has walked across the battlefields, so if we don't have much to say, we can't make this noise.

I look at the knight.

……

Nothing.

The gaze is facing upward.

I thought there was something in the sky, but nothing in particular.

In other words, the rain clouds are floating far away.

I thought I'd tell Phil to keep the rainproof tent up just in case, and I looked at Phil.

Phil was also stunned.

Looking at them, it seems that all the knights are bewildered.

"... Dear Soria. Never leave me behind."

Phil pulls out the sword with a pretty prepared face.

That appearance was followed by the other knights, each of whom entered a combat position.

"Well, what do you mean...? What are you seeing?

"Yes."

Phil stretched his fingertips over the sky.

I looked at it with my eyes closed.... clouds. It's also a black cloud.

So what does it mean?

Phil narrows his eyes and tells them not to look away from the clouds.

"--That's a dragon. Thousands of them."

"... eh?

I couldn't react immediately.

Dragon.

If it is treated as a monster, it is basically above A rank. That is the first knowledge of the creature.

Ah, you're a strong creature.

Then I get such pale feelings.

Even though it is strong, there are still others above A rank.

That's why I'm not surprised.

However, the story that follows shows the destructive power of the organism.

"I destroyed my country."

"We destroyed the hostile race."

I've gotten away with it.

Indeed, many books and legends bear witness to the fact that its existence is unusual.

In fact, as every year, there is enough news that some country has suffered a great deal from touching the dragon's mind.

That's where I first found out.

"A is the lowest rank. Most of them are in S-rank as creatures."

There are also C and B such as Wyburn.

However, among the dragon species, the royal dragon is said to be a strong "colored" dragon.

(If you close your eyes... you'll see.)

That's what Phil stared at. I wanted to know how ranked the dragon was, just like me.

And the result is hopeless.

Black, red and blue - "colored" dragons.

"... no."

I don't think we're aiming here.

But in case you get caught up in a whim...

My healing magic and Phil's finest swordsmanship, as well as an army of the Holy Republic's elite.

It will certainly be strong.

However, looking back at the difference in numbers, there are thousands of colored dragons with the lowest A rank, compared to hundreds.

(Even if I run away.....)

It would be tough to run a carriage with all my might from now on.

A dragon that can fly freely in the sky is much faster.

Let's assume we escaped to the city just in case. Still, there is no guarantee that you will be safe from there. Above all, don't hurt the general public.

It's no exaggeration to take a break.

"Hmm?"

Phil sounded out of his mind.

It was unusual for her to be close to battle.

"Well, what's the matter?

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"Huh, people?

As the sun dazzles, Phil brings one hand to his eyebrows for visibility.

The eyes were like seeing something incredible.

"... that's..."

Phil continues.

"Ji, jid!?"

It sounds so loud.

Ji, Ji Ji, Jid!?
