"I didn't know they were sane to light the woods......"

There were reports from Taiga of an impending group of people targeting Elle and the Gigis in town.

They were to take the children and trap them in the woods beforehand, but they notice the flames and smoke that are likely to reach heaven.

Guess from the direction, the kingdom of Mertia, marching from the defensive city of Tolucas, is setting fire to the forest.

It is easy to predict that they are using the magic tools of the flame lineage from the momentum of fire.

The fire isn't there yet, but the smoke reaches where the Gigis are because of the wind flow.

Kids inhale smoke and cough and weep.

"Mr. Gigi, what shall we do? I can't believe they burned the woods..."

"For once, let's go back to the orphanage. I'm unhappy. Fortunately, I haven't gotten to the back of the woods yet. I can get right through the woods."

As Gigi said, there are many young children due to the characteristics of the orphanage.

We hadn't even gotten to the depths of the woods yet, thanks to the fact that we were traveling to match the children's feet.

If it had been set on fire with it going to the back, it would have died in smoke and flames.

Following Gigi's decision, Elle scolds the children to return to the orphanage again.

The children also have hard smoke and start moving quickly without complaining.

The entrance to and exit from the woods could have arrived without more than a dozen minutes even on the children's slow feet.

Later, if you cross a shallow river, it is at the end of your eyes and nose to the orphanage.

Out through the woods to the riverside, everyone leaks a sigh of relief.

I was breathing air into my chest that I didn't want to smoke.

Shadows run through the ground unexpectedly.

Its size is not big enough to be a thing compared to birds.

When everyone, including the children, turned their faces to the sky - there was a dragon dancing there.

Gigi speaks out in dismay even though the children are on her side.

"Duh, a dragon!? Did the hostiles pull up to the dragon?!? But how without magic..."

"!? No, those aren't enemies after us!

Elle immediately denies Gigi's words.

She let her eyes shine and waved.

The dragon swirls again as she responds.

Slowly land in the shallow river.

Dragons are thick green skin, one turn larger than cattle, but smaller than common dragons, including wings. I didn't realize it when I was flying, but apparently I'm just a kid.

Around the mouth of the dragon is a compass like a horned horse.

A person who takes his hand off its reins and descends from the dragon - to brown skin, pointy ears that are characteristic of an elf. He stretches his silver hair to his back and wears black leather clothing reinforced with metal. Because of this, some of them have sharp eyes and beautiful women, and I get the impression that they look like SM queens all the time.

"Mr. Silvane, it's been a long time!

"... Yeah, it's been a while. I'm glad Elle's looking good."

Elle smiled and ran over to her side as she descended from the dragon's toddler body and ascended from the river.

Gigi, on the other hand, leaves in front of the children frightened by the dragon.

The person Elle rushed over to was one of the former Yuhara (01) and Shichiten (Shishiten), the fairy race Black Elf tribe who was in charge of the Shemale Continental Branch, and Sorcerer Class A Silvane Szon.

She is a peculiar magician and her ability is "The Marionette Company, a puppet messenger".

As the name suggests, magic can be used to manipulate others and demons.

Although a number of conditions must be fulfilled for this purpose.

She was able to manipulate up to 500 dragons simultaneously with the help of Altrius when she belonged to Origen (01).

"Yes, thanks to you. I'm glad Mr. Silvane seems to be doing well, too. By the way, why are you here?

"... what would I do if I heard Mr. Lance show up in the sky and told him I was here hunting you?

"Oh, really?

Elle gives a mixed look of surprise and sadness to Silvane's dialogue.

In front of such an el, Silvane leaks a sigh of exuberance.

"You haven't really changed your taste at all. Maybe that's possible, isn't it? And yet you are so close without any warning. Remember to doubt others a little more."

"So, but Mr. Silvane is your friend... I can't believe I doubted your friend..."

Silvane blushes in the 'friends' part.

I told him quickly, pointing that way to delude him.

"And anyway, be careful in the future! Now is not the time to relax and talk, is it? From what I've just seen from the sky, a unit with an article from the Kingdom of Mertia is burning the woods with magic tools, and it looks like a cavalry is fighting a girl of the Beast race."

"Beast Race Girl!? Oh, wasn't that girl a tiger!

"Yeah, yeah, probably"

"Thaiga like that... how could you..."

Elle had believed Tyga's words from his head: 'As soon as he notified the townspeople, he would follow them'.

I therefore have no imagination at all that she is fighting the Cavalry of the Kingdom of Mertia, hands on her mouth with a bloody look.

Silvane grabs Elle's shoulder and reprimands him with a sharp voice.

"Not if you're surprised. There are two other cavalry nearby from afar apart from the kingdom of Mertia. If you want to run, you better hurry. Fortunately, we have the means."

"Means?

"My peculiar magician is The Marionette Company, a puppet messenger. With Alto dead, there is no longer any way to follow the dragon. So I hatched from the eggs and I was trying to grow them and follow them. This child is its first child. I've been taking care of you since you were a baby, so even if the magic is gone now, you listen to me."

When she strokes the body of the dragon, she raises her voice in comfort.

It's like a puppy being sweet to its owner.

Silvane lets her voice drop and ask Elle.

"... this child can fly away from the sky. You and your husband, and the baby, we can give you a critical ride."

I mean, the family, including Elle, can take them away.

Because the magic has disappeared, if you fly, you will not be caught first.

It was no exaggeration to say that safety was ensured.

But Elle responds promptly to Silvane's suggestion.

"No, we don't ride that dragon. We can't just leave them alone."

"... what can happen to my own children and husband?

To Silvane's ill-willed question, Elle responds with a gaze at the orphanage children behind her.

"I can't help it. But there's no blood connection to those kids, but I think I'm my own kid. You can't let a mother run away from her precious child. So we want to work together and we want to do our best."

"Good luck. I guess it's not a situation where I can handle it... because I'm utterly stubborn"

Silvane scratches her head at Elle's response.

When she jumps on the dragon, she tells her out loud.

"I understand Elle's judgment. Then I'll buy some time with this kid, so do something about it that way!

"Mr. Silvane! But..."

"To repay the debt - not, and just cooperate as a friend! Don't get me wrong!

Silvane dyes her cheeks red while prompting the dragon to fly.

Heading there is the Royal Mertian Army, where Tyga is currently fighting in its progression.

As the dragon flies away, Gigi rushes to El.

"If you believe her words, is Tyga fighting the Cavalry of the Kingdom of Mertia by now..."

"Doh, what shall we do, Mr. Gigi! If anything happens to Tiga,"

"Please calm down, Mr. Elle. We have to make the safety of our children a priority first."

Elle calms down to Gigi's words.

She asks her husband anxiously.

"Mr. Gigi, you can no longer hide in the woods, but what can we do after this..."

"Go back to the orphanage and block the entrance and exit with a desk, chair, or table. This is Cage Castle. After that, I'll buy time and hit out to help Tyga. If you have a dragon, albeit a toddler, you can defeat it, even if it's hard to win."

"With the dragon on my side, I can win".

Even El can tell it's not going to be that convenient.

The Kingdom of Meltia is trying to hunt the Elles, even by bringing out the magic tools that are now valuable.

The ability to attack is not as high as the dragon's juvenile life.

If you use the magic tools your enemies are bringing in, you will still be able to defeat the Dragon while causing some damage.

Gigi is merely making pale hopeful observations to encourage her and the children.

After understanding it, Elle is forced to make a smile.

To reassure my husband and my children.

Gigi scowls at everyone while understanding what his wife means by smiling.

"Now let's get back to the orphanage. Once inside, we all work together to seal the entrance and exit as quickly as possible."

Elle & the children respond to his instructions.

And we all rushed back the way we came to the orphanage.

Gigi, while the Els returned to the orphanage - two groups were imminent.

One group was the kind of group where the upper body was a person and the lower body literally manifested the human horse unity of the horse.

All the next nearest group said they were supposed to be crossing the horse to the harsh battlefield from now on, but their upper bodies were naked.

Instead of armor, I don't wear one piece of metal or one piece of cloth.

I didn't even have a weapon, a sword, a spear, or a knife.

Yet everyone has no fright, no fear.

It is a different population.

The only thing that is wrapped around me is a 'muscle' that has been worked out.

Enemy or ally - two groups were now approaching the fiercest battlefield on the demonic continent.
