The night is about to dawn.

It was a long night.

It was so long, that even breathlessness flowed so intensely that I could remember. I couldn't breathe enough to keep gasping for air and sometimes I even had difficulty breathing. Still, I managed to keep myself, perhaps because I was aware of the fact that crying here didn't change anything. Where I cried, reality doesn't change. I just screamed, and something doesn't work. Where grief has fallen, the hand of salvation cannot be reached.

We have to move.

The only way to change reality is to move from scratch.

"I want to go into the woods before the sun rises."

The boy running next door snapped. Less than a few hours away from the Dragon Mansion, he continues to run on the earth known as the Dragon Warrior. Ryuno is a flatland stretch from Ryufu to the woods that greatly surround the outer perimeter of Ryufu. The final showdown between Gandia and Zalwarn took place in the southern part of the dragon march, and the two are running in the northern part of the dragon march. It's off the streets a lot because there might be guard soldiers along the streets. And leaving the guards under surveillance only increased the risk of encountering the Imperial Devil, but it was far more than the guards could blame. If the guards catch us, we won't even achieve our first objective of entering Abad.

"Hurry."

When Sheila snapped, the boy nodded small. The odd creature over its head is also nodding to Eagle Deep.

"Right."

"You won't do anything."

The boy went like that. The odd creature was supposed to recognize the boy's servant, but often ate and hung on the boy. Still nothing like developing into a big fight. Rather, there's something about them that seems to forgive each other. It was five or six days ago that you two met. You could have said it was too early to crack it, but if we were together at four or six, maybe that's what would happen.

Sheila herself, being able to see the boy normally, was also living in the same mansion. The boy was also the lord to Sheila. The long-standing name Setuna Zenon Lars-Enjour Divgard indicates his public position, his standing in Gandia. It means Enjour and Setuna, the Summoner of the Royal Palace, as the leader of the Dragon House. On top of that, he is also captain of the Royal SS Lion's Tail, which was the title of this boy who just turned eighteen. Most importantly, in Gandhia, eighteen years old is the age of adulthood, which you can call an adult, but his side remains the same as the boy. It was characterised by red eyes like blood, whose eyes were also Sheila's favorite.

He, like Sheila, wraps his eyes around a jacket with a headscarf. He hung a dagger on his hips, and if it came to battle, he basically intended to use that dagger. Black Spear Chaos Blinger is too well known. If we summon and wield such a famous thing, we agreed that in an instant we would know who Setsuna was.

Neither can Sheila use Heart of Beast. Within Abard, there is nothing unknown about Heart of Beast. Its shape is also well known. Her brave battle has been fought all over Abad as a poem. Lena-Taural wrote and spread Sheila's poetry so much that she said she had become a poet to sing Sheila's poetry. One of the reasons Sheila gained national popularity was definitely in Lena's poem.

Sometimes like that, Sheila didn't mean to use it, keeping the Heart of Beast in a cloth bag. If it's a battle, you can also use the sword you saw at Heavenly Wheel Palace. The same goes for Setuna's dagger, but Sheila's lower back sword was also something she brought out of the warehouse at Heavenly Wheel Palace on her own. The Heavenly Wheel Palace was just the center of the dragon palace, and various items were stored in the warehouse. Both Setuna's dagger and Sheila's sword are borrowed from it. Most importantly, the Dragon House is the territory of Setuna, and the Heavenly Wheel Palace is the property of Setuna. Even though the weapons left behind in the warehouse of Heavenly Wheel Palace are the property of Setuna, the problem remains.

"What? I'm here for you!

A strange creature over Setuna's head spread its pair of wings in anger. Strange creature. All I could say was really odd. You can see at first glance that that is a Feilong. A head with a pair of horns on its long, pointed jaw, jewel-like eyes, whatever, the long neck leads to a rounded torso, wings growing from both shoulders, not arms. Flying film - I mean, wings like bat feathers. I have two legs, I see sharp nails, but I've never seen those nails wield ferocity. The tip of the long tail was bracketed with adorable bands. The black and white belt Lem-Marlowe insisted was a testament to her servant, but of course, it would come to her mind. Most importantly, the strange creature liked the testimony of a servant bracketed from Rem, and the day he was bracketed, he watched the belt all the time.

That strange creature has a long standing name: Ragnacia-Elm Dorrus. It doesn't look like a rounded, adorable figure, but when Sheila and I first met her, she was a worthy dragon. Apparently this cute and odd figure right now is because he died once and was reincarnated. And he made Setuna the Lord, the one who killed him.

Setuna calls him Ragna, and Sheila and the others imitate it.

"I know it's just backup!

"Hey, what!? Is my support pointless?

"You'd be more surprised if it made sense."

"Mmm!"

"Mm-hmm."

Setuna sighed, but it didn't seem to convey much to Ragna.

Sheila felt saved, listening sideways to such an exchange with one person.

Ever since she learned about Abard's circumstances, she had felt so heavy that her heart was about to break. In short, it was painful. What has accumulated since the refusal to triumph over the Wang capital erupted at once? It was as if what she had been accumulating had hit and hit an avalanche, and in an irresistible turbulence, she kept gasping for air.

The air wasn't the only thing I wanted.

I wanted salvation.

"But Ragna was right to come."

"Really?

"Well, well, well."

Ragna nodded to Eagle Deep Fried, but he must not understand anything. That's why it's weird, and it's full of laughter.

"If it weren't for Ragna, I'd think he'd be sinking."

"I see. You mean it's useful as a buzz?"

"What a bustle! What is Busy!

On Setuna's head, the dragon steps on the estate waste. It behaved like a child, but it was the word and deed that Little Dragon deserved. I can't imagine it from the overwhelming appearance when confronted at Lake Waterdragon, and all I can say is that it's troublesome to be behaved like Ragna right now, as he is.

"Don't make too much noise about how much Sheila got tattooed. If anyone asks, it's a lot of trouble."

"I don't have one just like this...... sure, if someone asks, it might be too much trouble"

It is not popular with northern dragon fields before dawn. No, it's not unpopular because it's before dawn. In the first place, there is no such thing as the movement of people to and from the north of the Dragon House.

Dragon House is a city in the northern tip of the Gandhia Zalwarne region. Located close to the border with Ishika, Silvina and Abad. Ishika is west of Ryufu, Silvina is in the northwest direction of Ryufu, and if you may visit Ryufu for tourist purposes from Ishika or Silvina, you will use the west and northwest streets. There is no reason to go south on the northern dragon field. If it were to come southwards through the northern conscription dragon fields, it would be tourists from Abad and people for commercial purposes, but that seemed unlikely in view of the current situation.

Abard said he has stepped up border vigilance and surveillance and has not allowed civilians to come and go. It's called Roz-Melan, who broke through the border by order, so no doubt.

This means that you will not encounter a group from Abad to Ryufu, or a group from Ryufu to Abad. Some people try to visit Abad from Gandhia more than Abad is stepping up surveillance of the border.

Before dawn. Overhead, even the shadows of the stars are about to disappear.

"What's the trouble?

"There are only two of us, but there are three voices. That's crazy, right?"

"You have me!

"You're not here. I shouldn't."

"It's terrible that you shouldn't!

Ragna jumped from above Setuna's head onto his right shoulder, jumping up and biting into his ear. Setuna glances at Ragna without even moving. Maybe it doesn't hurt or itch.

"Dragons, that's all that's gonna make a fuss."

"... um"

So hide in my clothes in public.

"I don't have a choice. Your husband has no choice but to obey his orders."

That said, Ragna dived into Setuna's coat and went straight into her chest.

"That's fine."

"Phew."

Ragna was only letting her head peek from her collar.

"Why are you so good at this?"

"Really, it's crazy."

Sheila thanked them at the bottom of her heart, laughing at their interaction. Without Setuna and Ragna, what would have happened to me in no time?

She shuddered at the terror of the clear skies before dawn.

The destination is still far away.
