Graduated from Witchcraft Institute

Approximately a day will pass through the Devil Tree Forest and continue through the forest area for another two days or so.

Only those first two times I encountered the monster, and the next two and a half days were peaceful itineraries.

During the journey, it's not usually the same thing as encountering monsters.

That's how around noon on the third day after leaving King's Capital, our line (party) finally reached the foothills of Fire Dragon Mountain.

"Ha, have you finally come this far? It was a long time."

That's what Satsuki says, and he hips down to the nearby reddish rock.

Irene, bitterly smiled at the appearance, suggested a temporary break on the spot.

Everyone sits down thoughtfully and begins to include water from the water bag in their mouths, etc.

I'll sit down with Eileen on the big rock she sat on.

Eileen looked a little giddy and seemed uncomfortable, but eventually took a big, deep breath to calm down.

I can't help wondering a little bit about that, or even care about the details.

I took my attention off her, and then I looked up at Fire Dragon Mountain in front of her.

From where we are, there is a rocky stretch of reddish large rocks and stone rolling around.

And it gradually went uphill and continued ahead.

The top of the mountain is still far away, and from here, there is a sumptuous sky and all I can see is a silhouette.

"Oh, it's big, isn't it? It's just that the dragon lives there."

That's what Eileen said, and she was messing around next to me.

But that perception, which she said, did not engage with my knowledge.

"Really? As a mountain, you're not supposed to be at a higher altitude."

"Oh, that, is it? - But it's over, Will! Still, when this is the case, let's talk! The atmosphere is important. This kind of thing!

"No, I think accurate information is more important."

"Ugh! Yeah, but! That's it!

Eileen was jittering about something for nothing.

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do.

Incidentally, Fire Dragon Mountain is a mountain about a few hundred meters in altitude, not to mention a mountain path that is not well maintained, but is of a mediocre size enough to reach the summit in three or four hours.

The gradient of the mountains is also relatively slow and does not require full climbing (climbing) techniques.

So if we get this far, we're just a breather away from our destination.

In doing so, I'll double-check with Irene.

"I recognize that our mission (mission) is to meet the dragon (dragon) who lives on the summit of this Fire Dragon Mountain and attach that cooperation. So what's wrong with that?

"Yeah, I am.... Until we get there, that's the problem."

"When we talked about His Majesty Andrew, did you mean that there was no certainty that we could get help?"

"That's right. He said that once I showed him this, it would be about 'adding up'. As a token of my love, it's the sword that the dragon gave me."

That being said, Eileen pounds the sword bracketed on her own back.

It was one of the treasures her father, now King Andrew, had won in the past, a sword classified as a one-handed half sword (bastard sword), much longer than her own, which Eileen is raising on her hips.

Talking about that, Satsuki, who was sitting on a nearby rock, stands up and hits me with such frank questions.

"By the way, what if the dragon (dragon) didn't cooperate?

"What? Well... what happens to that?

Eileen tilts her neck.

I saw that Eileen's reaction and dropped my shoulder disappointingly.

"Eileen... stop saying things like Satsuki until you..."

"Hahaha...... I thought Dragon would cooperate."

That's what I'm saying, Eileen.

I sigh very, very frightened.

"Don't try to delude me with a pretty face. I don't personally hate you for being idealistic or dreaming. I wonder how a princess or a knight in a country would feel about that."

"Eh heh. ─ So, but, you know, how about Will always be there for me and support?

"You know, it's nice to rely on people in moderation, but don't depend on them. You should be alone."

"...... ha"

Irene replies by swelling her cheeks a lot.

I thought you were a little grown-up and independent, this is it.

By the way, Cyril and Mi said, "I don't even realize it in my current approach, so Master Eileen seems pitiful." "Absolutely. You're scared of assumptions," he said, not sure.

Either way, I'll get back on my mind and respond to your earlier questions about Satsuki.

"If you didn't get the help of a dragon, but if nothing happens with that, you're just going to waste this journey. Take it back to the King's Capital without a harvest, and the four of us will get paid for our requests from the country, but the battle against the Demon King will be tough. But this isn't the worst case yet."

"... hey, really? So what's the worst case?

That's what Irene's gonna ask me, so I'm gonna go around behind her back and hang around her temples.

"Su, ko, shi, ha, ji, bu, bu, bu, bu, bu, bu, bu..."

"Ahhh, it hurts, it hurts! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Don't defend yourself with an aura. It's a special victory to apologize with tears in your eyes, but I don't think you can help but win there.

When I sighed again and released Eileen's temples, I expressed my views on the "worst case" I had mentioned.

"There could be dragons trying to kill us all on a whim. I assume His Majesty was saying that? The Dragon of Fire Dragon Mountain (Dragon) is difficult, telling me to set up a cauldron in case I don't come back. Even His Majesty Andrew, a friend of the Old Knowledge, should know by presumption."

"Ah... well, will it?... So you're asking me, Will and I, to 'die together'?

"Well don't be. I'm surprised you weren't aware... but even if you did, you wouldn't have to kill me."

"Oh, yeah... sorry.... but we can fight dragons if they don't kill us...?

Once I lean down, then Irene comes up and takes a peek at me.

When I saw it, I sighed one more time, then put my hand on my childhood head and scratched it with me.

"Wow! Hey, what the...!

"Don't feel that way. We're the ones who decided to take on the request. It's not your fault if we die."

"Well, that may be...!

"Besides, if your opponent is a dragon (dragon), this party will give you a good chance of winning. I calculate about that at the stage of receiving the request. ─ ─ In addition to one, I also got a new story. It's a good job."

When I tell her that, Eileen makes a decent face.

"... a new story? A spell or something that we don't know about?

If you ask me that, I'll answer you full.

"No, it's a better one. - Instead, you'll be able to show them a magical new world that you don't know as one of them right now."

"What...? Ugh, Will is throwing up big language rarely!?... WHAT!? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENS!?"

Irene seems comfortable surprised.

But it also makes me want to throw up the big language.

The other day I received a scroll (scroll) from a combination of Glenn, Cecilia.

Try to decipher it all and you'll find some incredible skill (skill) sleeping there.

In Cecilia, I guess reading this didn't make the content ripple and decipher.

Even a wizard-level magician may not be able to decipher this honestly at this stage except for me.

I was delighted when I finished deciphering the scroll (scroll) last night that I was blessed with precisely this.

But I can't overconfident that either.

This skill (skill) is a blade sword that strangles you if used incorrectly.

You should use it as a trump card (joker), cutting it only on occasions that it's here.

─ But still.

"Huh... Huh... Huh...!

"Wow... Will broke..."

Irene and Satsuki and Cyril and Mi were all at once when they saw me overflowing from the inside.
