Meanwhile, around that time.

"Oh, it's not from the Richters."

"What do you want to do? Do you want to go backup?

"Don't worry, Dorothy. Trust the Richters a little more. I'm sure they'll do something about it."

It was the sound of a dragon containing emotions of anger that reached the ears of Arias, who had separated from the Richts and had just entered another hole.

Definitely a signal that the battle has begun.

Dorothy seems to be guessing about it, too, looking around with a flicker as she cares.

"They have to do it in the Nuns. Can't you afford to be worried about someone else?

'Cause there's a demon king.

"... Kuk. You know what I mean."

Dorothy seems to understand exactly what it means to stand next to Aria.

One of the few places in this world - absolutely safe.

"Well, never mind. There's Richter over there, so it's safe for now. And besides, can your Lord see even in this darkness?

"For once... in the human world, there was a lot of work in dark places. I don't think you'll ever be a handful."

Huhun - and Aria goes ahead satisfied.

My attitude towards my people is sweet, so if anything helps, my personality gets in a good mood right away.

It was the same this time.

"Then we're going. Follow me."

All right, Demon King.

When Aria tells him that, Dorothy obeys orders without saying anything.

This conversation alone is an explosion of fondness for Dorothy.

Being with Iris, who doesn't usually hear much to say, or Rosé, who's just empty, naturally fills me with laughter when I'm with a good man like Dorothy.

"Ah, demon king. Looks like the Necromancers found us a dragon, so let's go there. If you're a dragon, it looks like you haven't noticed our presence yet. Maybe she's asleep."

"... I may have really chosen your Lord and got it right"

Though Aria intended to lead the way, Dorothy and I were to quickly change roles.

If you know where it is, you don't have to say it anyway.

Shut up and follow behind Dorothy.

"Um... for once, thank you when confronted with the Dragon"

"Oh, I'll take care of that. It was originally for Non's convenience. If - if - indeed - the Richters are struggling, then we must also go to support them."

"Huff, we need to get this over with."

Listening to Aria increases Dorothy's walking speed slightly.

With all due respect, Aria seemed to be concerned about the Richts, too.

The two men, whose purpose coincided, did not take darkness as a darkness, but were to head for the dragon on the route of optimal solution.
