"Ha!? Reede!"

I woke up. Cece looks around. It was a dark room there. Relatively tidy but slightly odorous.

If you look at me, I was lying in a simple bed, and at the window one beautiful woman sat on the window frame, just staring out.

"Oh? Are you awake? Hey, it's hard to apply or subtract force. I almost killed him by accident. Chin Chin Chin"

The beauty notices the woken sheath or apologizes for the light feeling.

"This is it!? What about Reede!? Who the hell are you!?

"Easy, boy. This is the man you were with earlier. He left saying he had something to do."

"I'm a woman!

"Hmm? Uh, really? I'm sorry, I don't know the difference between the sexes."

"You look like a human."

"Sure, that's right. Hmm? Did I tell you I'm not human?

"My eyes...... no. Plus, if you can show me that kind of motion, I don't want to know."

Cece didn't know how to respond to the beautiful woman who laughed after hearing it.

I somehow know I'm not a demon...

"I am, Eggbell. Well, I'm not human, but I don't care where it is."

"It's not very nice..."

"I just hope you understand that you're not like those guys you call Demons."

Beauty - Eggbell leaves the window and slowly approaches the bed sheath with a grin.

That was very much like the movement of a predator sneaking up on his prey.

Instinctively, a fearful sheath jumps up and takes out a dagger that remained on his hips.

I saw that dagger glowing slightly blue. Euguebel circled her eyes for a moment.

"Ooh ya... that's... Hmm... that's more and more funny you. I see...... Well, before (...) (...) (...) (...) (...)"

"What is it! What is it already!!

Cece no longer knew why. While I had myself screaming to be cool, I was already full of wanting to throw it all out and cry to my master.

"No, we're having a lot of trouble. It's out to get your hands on it directly. So instead of your fangs and nails, choose a human or a demon, and he'll do it."

"... Yes? I mean, they usually put their hands on it."

Cece rubbed her neck muscle, which still had blunt pain.

"Well, it's appropriate to add or subtract a teaspoon around it. It's appropriate. Well, anyway, I'm going to have to bust a certain acquaintance and all the demons trying to wake him up. But I can't do it directly, so I decided to ask you to do it. I just made up my mind. Big decision!"

Eggbell freshly clapped, patting.

"Oh, no, wait a minute. I have no idea what's going on, and I'm going to lead more than that."

"Uh, it's that doll"

When Eggbell brought him a chair with a rattling noise, he sat on it to cross his back in front of him.

"That sounds hard inside. I just think it was made that way."

"No... but we were adventurers together until yesterday!!

"Until yesterday that was... false, right? Either way, was that cat-backed guy - Zod? We have to do something about him."

Cece shook her head and denied Eggbell's words.

False? Is that stupid?

"We need to get Reede back... I'll take that guy named Zod down"

"Undo, hey... young but a late mistake... But, Cece. You can't beat Zod now. That's one of the most severely cut people. That demon tribe is also quite powerful, but it crossed parity with it. Zod has already stepped into the outer realm. You have qualities, you have stretching costs, but not at this point."

"... I can't do it alone, but with everyone's help..."

Cece thought he would not tell Irene and Ellios what was going on anyway. And to my master too......

"You can't. I don't know if he's alone, but was that doll - Excuse me, Reede? That's why we're together. Plus, he's probably working with the Demons. You can't afford a boulder just for an adventurer party."

"... the defense and other adventurers move more than the Demons are involved"

"Well, if Reede was killed on the enemy's side, you wouldn't have an ex or a kid."

"It's..."

Eggbell stared at Cece with a serious look.

"Look, Cece. Right now, this city is getting worse than you think. And although your purpose and mine are slightly different, they are almost identical. So - give me a hand, Cece. Then I'll at least work out with Zod and that demon tribe about to (...) win (...) and (...) ru (...) in ta (...) y (...) ma (...) n (...)"

"Work out...?

Eggbell laughed at Cece's words.

"Oh come on Cece...... did you think it would be easy to get power with Mo Wonder Power? There's no such thing as convenience. No, well... in a way, it's close."

I think it was a sheath of power. Does that mean you're gonna be strong?

"I don't have time for this!

"So don't rush. The deadline is in a week. You have to be strong by then. Be strong and make this city a happy ending to all the people who threaten your people. Then my purpose will be fulfilled."

"Why a week?"

"I'll explain."

From there, what Egübel told Cece was pretty much in line with what Gerthardt told the Reds.

"Does that mean they'll be gathering in the basement of the Great Lighthouse in a week?

"Almost certainly. Until then, those guys will be hiding too. Then you better wait and see than chase. Plus... not the enemy, but there's that dragon-hunting kid too. He's also the guy trying to step into the outer realm. I'm sure I'll get in front of you, too."

Cece remembered that brunette short-haired young man who crossed the blades in that square - Lore.

"Still... I'll talk to my master and decide what to do"

"Whoa, whoa... can't the heroes on the border decide anything for themselves?

Sheath stares at the eggbell that returns it so that it can stand back.

"I can't take your terms anymore than I don't know if what you're saying is true."

"Stop pretending to be smart. I just talked to who, and I don't know if my words are true or not. All you have to think about is, don't you want to be strong? And believe me or not."

Neither did Cece think Eggbell was lying. Why, but Cece felt she could be trusted. I can't do what I'm saying or doing - because I didn't think I had any lies.

It is also true that we always want to be strong about it. I know so much that I don't like the fact that this beautiful woman has the strength to be off track.

But is it good? Have you made any fatal mistakes? As the leader of [White Dragon's Breath], is this behavior correct?

I don't know. I didn't come to a conclusion.

But that's where Cece remembered Ledo's words. When you don't know... you tell me to follow my heart.

"I'll do anything to get rid of Reede. If you need to be strong, you're going to be strong, and you're not going to choose the means."

"Then the answer is one. Ah (...) and (...) of (...) d (...) la (...) g (...) - (...) n (...) to (...) be (...), sheath"

Dragoon. Cece doesn't know what that is.

But it was Ledo's face that glistened in the back of his brain.

"I have many masters. The first is my father. The second is the hunter of the village. And the third... is my master as an adventurer. I don't want to scorn my master."

"You don't have to worry. I'm your master. It doesn't matter. Do you even bother to ask your master to buy a weapon? When you take a request, do you ask if this is a good idea? You know, I'm not setting up a master, it's just sweet (...) eh (...) eh (...) ru (...). If you're a hero too, don't say anything like a master and a kid. Stand up alone."

"I..."

I didn't seem to have time to worry anymore. I only have a week left.

"Promise me. He said he would make me strong. So strong that no one can beat you... that no one can take you away."

Sheath's gaze stabs straight at Eggbell. Seeing it, Eugübel nodded contentedly.

"Ha, that's a good look. That's what makes you a hero. Of course I promise. Let's make him stronger than anyone else. But if we survive, we'll talk about it."

"I'm used to training."

"Fine then. Look, give me your hand."

As Eggbell tells me, Cece offered his right hand.

There Eggbell wrapped himself around it with both hands.

"It hurts, but be patient."

"Heh? Ouch!!

A severe pain ran in the palm of his hand, and when Sheath, who accidentally pulled his hand in, looked at the back of his right hand, the tattoo was somehow engraved. It looks like a flame and it looks like a dragon.

"Now the contract has been made. You're my dragoon now. Pleasure, it's the fourth man in the world."

"What is this... tattoo? Can you take this?

"Am I right? Well, I don't care about the details. Besides, you look a little good, don't you?

"No, nothing..."

"Yep...... lying"

"By the way, who are you..."

Eggbell, who was a little dented in Cece's reaction, laughed unexpectedly when she heard it.

"Whoa, whoa... yeah... you didn't notice? He didn't tell me anything... I mean, you made the decision without even knowing what I was... awesome"

"Uh, no, who's that guy?

"Oh...... I see. Well, no. Shall I introduce myself again?"

That being said, Euguebel stood on the chair and began to speak in a lofty hand gesture and tone, as if it were a three-dimensional play.

"My name is [Eugübel, the champion of Purgatory, the Lord of black flames who burned the world for three days and three nights and turned it into night. Even the sun will burn in front of me..."

"Ha..."

Sheath's reaction made me look like Eggbell was stubborn.

"It's not bad for Nori. My fame has fallen to the ground, too. Well, no. Well, well, you'll have a lot to prepare for, too, so go home today. So, meet me at the West Gate tomorrow."

"Yes!? Where are you going?

"Am I right? Huh, on the repair (...) line (...) (...) decision (...) ma (...) eh (...) ru (...)!!"
