"Cain, what about your trap?
"Wait a minute... oh!It's a lot, Larka. "
"You did it! Everyone in town will be delighted."
Larca and Cain were in the lake to catch the fish that would be lunch today.
The fish in this lake are slightly fat and have a good reputation from the dragon people in the village.
There are two ways to catch fish: fishing and trapping, but Larka chooses to set a trap.
There is no particularly profound reason for that behavior.
However, because Larka was too poor in fishing, he just made it a trap that didn't require technology.
"There might be about one of them per person.I've been halfway with Larka's sister before. "
"That's right. I think I can give you two."
"If I hadn't caught anything, the adults would have been mad at me.Watch out. Watch out. "
When they put all the dozens of fish caught in the trap in their baskets, they pull their feet out of the lake.
All we have to do is go home.
When I see fish jumping in my basket, I want to bake and eat it right away.
However, if they tried to do such a thing, the adults would scold them so hard that they managed to stay rational.
By now, the adults will have silently fulfilled Richard's request.
All of Richard's requests are difficult.
Weapon machining, armor machining, and even weapon production.
Various requests pop in one after the other.
Just doing the requested work is such that the sun goes down.
But no one complains.
Everyone is excited about materials and weapons they've never experienced before.
Though they were supposed to be quite busy, the dragon people in the village, including themselves, recognized that it was a full life.
"It's our lunch duty today, isn't it?
"Yeah, we have to get home."
"Ah, if only you could give us more machining."
Larca hit Cain with a little resentment from her daily routine.
Basically, it is the adult dragon men who are mainly engaged in processing.
Larca and Cain are tasked with processing miscellaneous and simple parts.
I'm not saying that I don't like the work I'm currently assigned to, but it's also true that it's time for me to acquire technology.
There are many things I admire about the technology that adult dragonmen have.
Instead of regaining the shine that the weapon originally had, it was a technology that allowed it to shine beyond its limits.
Although Larka is also practicing secretly, there are no signs that she will learn if she does not fight.
Adults say they're still early, but Larca couldn't wait.
"So-so. I know how your sister feels, but I can't help it now because it's a school year.
"That's right... just doing chores doesn't make you feel like you're being taught to train anymore"
"Hmm. Why don't you ask them to take care of the job when you get back?
"... I'll try."
With such a conversation, the two of them return home with the fish.
It's almost lunch time.
Cain and Larca are losing their appetite because they have been working since this morning.
In the meantime, I thought I'd get back early and get lunch ready.
I started moving a little faster.
Still... they won't know about the nightmare that's coming.
◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇
"... that? What is this?"
Hmm?
"No, something strange is falling..."
Near the entrance to the village.
So Larka finds something strange.
It was part of something, a little creepy.
Is it a mess of wild animals?
But in that case, it was separated beautifully.
If it's the monster, we need to tell the adults.
I didn't want to see anything very disgusting, but it was a confirmation that I had to do.
"--ahhh!?
"Well, where are you?!Larka sister! "
"Here, here, here!?Shh, shh, shh!
"Oh, calm down, Larka!
Larka shouted out loud on the spot as if she had gone mad.
Then he threw a part of his body into the distance with a lot of force.
Obviously not a normal reaction.
Cain knows nothing but calm Larca down.
Cain held Larca's shoulder and forcefully called her name.
Cain's head was equally confused because Larca had never reacted like this before.
"... hah hah.Upu.... "
"... calm down?
"Well, not yet...."
"What happened?Larka, you don't look like a sister. "
"Because! That... is the dragon man's hand!?
Larca tells Cain what she saw earlier with excitement.
I don't want to remember anymore.
That was definitely the dragon man's hand.
Something disgusting is coming up from inside your body.
I feel terrible.
"Ryu, the Dragon Man's hand?Whose... "
"I don't know!
"Well, I don't know, but it's not someone from the village, is it?
"... I don't know.I don't know.... "
Larca leaves her body in Cain's chest.
I don't know what to say - I don't know how to tell you.
However, I understood that something disturbing was happening.
"No way... the invader"
"What do we do...?Running away while you still can?
"... no. My mother is still in the village.I can't abandon you. "
Yeah, that's right.
They're assuming the worst pattern.
The invaders attacked the countryside while they were gathering lunch.
I don't want to think about it, but it's going to be a big deal by now.
I can't hear anything like screaming.
Either nothing happened or it's all over now.
"... it may have calmed down.Let's go. "
"Okay."
Larca stood up with the aid of Cain.
We may be going to a terrible scene from now on.
But I couldn't escape as a Dragon Clan.
Take a step forward in a deep sense of tension.
Cain seems to feel the same way.
Both of them had a nasty sweat.
