Three days after I asked my Alliance, the three of Timis were briefed by Verlaine on the Fire Dragon Crusade, prepared in advance, and succeeded in discussing virtual maneuvers reproduced using maps and tokens on the table.

"I didn't know how to prep this kind of maneuver... it was like I was doing a double six."

"It's more of a game than a puppet. The pattern of how firedragons work is built into my head. Hey, but is it actually going to work...."

McKinley plays an important role in the operation. The B Rank Archer's hit rate is not absolute, but he enters a sniper point, and Timis lures the Fire Dragon's attention to trigger a specific action, shooting a special bullet into Albarest from a long distance - that's the crux of the operation.

"If the Fire Dragon does not move as expected, the priority is to protect the lady. I don't want to think that this kind of information-gathering research would be a complete waste...."

"No, don't think I'm special. I'm going to pull my legs like this... because I realized how powerful the firedragon is. Not unlike the orcs I've defeated and the lowlife monsters... but when I defeated 10,000 orcs, I..."

Even 10,000 orcs are likely to be promoted to about a thousand people long, but isn't that enough? When I defeated a thousand bodies, the Oak Road appeared, and even though Timis strengthened to B rank, I think I can force a tough battle. It seems unlikely that there would be a problem with Lyre.

"Dear Timmy, may I ask you a question? Why are you obsessed with fire dragons?

"... that's the Knights policy. If we don't defeat the Fire Dragon equivalent monster, we won't be able to be promoted to the rank of Deputy Knight. The current Knight Commander is permanently promised the status of Knight Commander, so no other Knight will ever be the Commander. When that happens, our knight's ultimate destination is the Deputy Knight Commander."

"Status...? What are you going to do when you become Deputy Knight Commander?

"... I have someone I'd like to see. I admire someone I can't see from the front, but I respect."

I don't know if I'm a homosexual girl - well, a girl my age can't do it. It's such a delicate time to be driven by the impulse of puberty.

"Even though you have the right to inherit the throne, I would like to meet Onee-sama Manarina, who has grabbed the sword and duels with pride with the Duke who is about to marry, at the vice chief's medal ceremony....."

Though I thought he was the man Timmy wanted to meet along the way, he was completely overturned. I thought there was even Cody, but Cody is strangely unfamiliar with women.

Timis is Manarina's mother's sister. Though Timis may have a complicated feeling about his daughter, Manarina, she seems rather deeply respected.

"... I'm not hiding that I'm His Highness Manarina's sister. My mother is a commoner and under the protection of His Majesty the King, but she is jealous of other noblemen from the side room. I want to change this situation by making an unshakeable success."

The second reason was commensurate with the desire to defeat the Fire Dragon and make a triumph.

If Timmy wants to see her sister, she can count on me to meet her. But changing the circumstances surrounding Timmy's mother is difficult - not impossible overnight.

"Timmy's readiness has been well communicated. The crusade will be decided tomorrow. Take a good rest today and prepare for tomorrow's departure. I wish you luck."

"Yes, Doctor!... but not the receptionist!

"Lady... I was trying to act like a knight, but it's worth my efforts..."

"Haha, isn't that nice? It's been a long time since I've been in class."

When I asked Timmy how old he was, he was fourteen years old - young to say the least. That's a big deal, and if you don't stumble on the Fire Dragon Crusade, the Knights will be big.

And after this job, I'd like to try out a scout for Ryan and McKinley - well, Ryan is sticky to Timmy, so let's think about it as soon as we can.

- And I almost forgot. I rang the counter twice to keep the three of them from noticing. Verlaine notices the signal and comes to me.

I pretended to give her the order paper and entrusted Verlaine with "some magic". Verlaine reddened her cheeks when she touched her hands, but after pretending that nothing had happened, she gave me a drink and a knob, she returned to Timis and the others.

"Koh, kohn. Master Timis, we have one last thing to do before we crush the Fire Dragon. Can you write magic letters (runes) on your body?"

"Rune... does that work against Fire Dragons?

"Yes, because of that, we need to write it in close proximity to Timis' chest. We have a private room, so could you come over?"

"... is that absolutely necessary? If you do something strange....."

"Lya, it's okay. If it's between women, it's not that embarrassing."

It may be ticklish because I use a brush, but Verlaine explains that it will be over soon and takes Timis with her.

"... you don't need me and Rhea, do you?

"What are you expecting? McKinley, imagine your daughter writing a letter and I'll slap her."

"No, no... I'm just curious. Would you stop staring at me so much?"

I know how McKinley feels. I imagine an elf-made with a seductive complexion drawing letters with a brush on the skin of a young knight who is still unclean - what a mysterious or elegant scene.

Magic letters (runes) are drawn with special paint, but they disappear in a few days, so there is no problem. I think I'm worried about what I told myself - but I can't help it because I promised.

I said I would never let Timmy die. The magic letters are insurance to keep the promise to Cody.

We don't have to do this if we're going to make it. But it is also a creature that is mistaken for a human being.

Even the Demon King Crusaders were caught up in mistakes - so I wouldn't trust anyone else 100%. It is not human distrust, but it is quite natural for me to follow up and lead to success, including making mistakes.

"But... he's always buying us a drink from that counter seat, who the hell is he?

"... I was surprised to think that he was Duke Solver or something like that. I guess you just like things."

"Duke... what? I don't know that name. Well, you guys seem to be in a lot of trouble, so I'll have another cup of ass later."

"Whoa, is that okay? It will be a pleasant treat."

"... there's still no way. It's just generous. Drink it. But I'm worried about the young lady... because sometimes that elf wasn't laughing in the back of his eyes... if only he didn't have a weird hobby..."

Rhea is trembling her feet when she sifts - Timmy seems to be too worried about him and rinsing poor. I wonder why she's so into Timmy, but she seemed to have something unfortunate.

Though I was happy to be told if you were Duke, the fact that I didn't find out eventually made me miss the time to fully reveal myself - no, that's fine. I'm just drinking, you know, like Lya said, all right.

By the way, I can magically listen to the conversation between the two in the operating room, so I'd like to listen a little bit.

"Eh...."

"Don't move, this paint won't come off until a certain amount of time has elapsed once it touches your skin... yes, that's a good boy..."

"... it's embarrassing, the receptionist... unlike me, I'm a knight, so I'm muscular..."

"Strength is what you need to be strong. Even though it is difficult for women to muscle, you have worked hard at this young age. Exercise falls out of your chest, but it's growing healthily."

"I can't shake my sword, so I don't want it to grow any bigger anymore... Do you accept such consultations in this guild?

"My husband has a reputation for making it big, but he doesn't seem to know how to make it smaller."

"That's right... what do you do if you make it bigger?

"Use an action called the right hand of God and the left hand of the devil. In the process of enlarging her chest, the woman is pushed into the position of forgetfulness, so the master is called by the alias" the fifth person to forget me "....."

"Su, wow... that's better for this guild. Mr. Duke, you're a group of amazing people...."

The Demon King keeps blowing bullshit at Timmy thinking I'm gone. I have to spend some time confessing to you where you got such delusions, but that's another story.

◆ ◇ ◆

The next day, I was at the counter of the store when Timmy and the others started fighting the Fire Dragon.

I have time until the store opens at 6: 30 in the morning. Verlaine put black ale in front of me while preparing to open the store. It is a black ale of higher quality than regular ale, but it can only be drunk when it is purchased because it is produced in small quantities.

Put your mouth on the jock and pour a cold bubble into your throat. For me, alcohol is no longer a substitute for water - a medical magician.

"... fuu"

"Master, this time you were careful with the 'preparation'."

I had Behemoth's milk consumed every day in order to anchor the Enhanced Magic effect on Timmy's body. Because it is precious, I could not let the other two drink it - it is contrary to aesthetics that we will spend more on it at our request. It's only natural, as a professional, to accomplish to the extent that you're properly in the black even if you subtract expenses.

"The instructions for the operation were the same, but it was just as important to establish a dietary effect. And then the three of you will do well."

"... Master. It looks like 'the magic is greatly reduced' compared to your husband last night. Would it be better if I thought it was my fault?"

Verlaine is also an ex-Demonic King, and will be noticed as soon as the magnitude of magic changes. I laughed and said nothing.

"Five years since I fought your master... 'Miracle Children' is a terrible thing. Even with the power of Master, who is reducing magic for a reason, I...."

"... Verlaine, can I have a moment? I said," I've been drinking as usual. "Call me back in about an hour."

Elves with linen hair understand the meaning of my words a little late - and smile.

"Don't worry, I won't think about stealing the talisman in the meantime, even if your husband isn't here."

"... ahh. I trust you....."

"... I might play a prank. Until the store opens, you and I will be alone."

"Not enough... not enough to shock me..."

Drinking makes me lose consciousness for a moment, that's all.

Just then, even if it was time for Timmy and the others to start the Fire Dragon Crusade - it was just a coincidence.

◆ ◇ ◆

--Fire Dragon Crusaders are early in the morning.

Timis, who visited the Belfortune Forest, admired the terrain as he had prepped, but quickly switched his mind and headed to the place where the operation would begin.

(I remember the contents of the notebook and the exercises on the board. I can definitely do it well)

Timis walks through the woods telling himself. Lia and McKinley have been silent for some time. The fact that this is the Fire Dragon habitat also made them nervous with a lot of combat experience.

Reflect on Duke Solver's notebook as he approaches his destination.

During the breeding season, the male firedragon leaves the forest and returns to see the nest of the volcanic belt. Now it corresponds to that, and only the female firedragon remains in this forest among the firedragon kingdoms.

A female firedragon nests and lays eggs in a cave in the forest. From the eggs laid, a young dragon is born immediately. Fire dragons grow eggs in the womb and lay them just before they hatch.

The mother dragon preys on forest animals and feeds the larvae to restore health after laying eggs. The juvenile dragon will be able to fly short distances and ride on the back of the parent dragon in about three months. By that time, the period of lack of food in the volcanic belt ends, and they return to the volcanic belt.

Fire Dragons are just acting on seed instincts. But sometimes it is necessary to fight in order not to be chased by the forest, which is a place of life, because there is no place for humans to be.

(Capture... a firedragon that is difficult to defeat. But I'll try...!

6: 34 in the morning.

At this time, the firedragon leaves the cave and begins to move for feeding and water supply.

At 6: 36, the firedragon arrives at the water field. Before that, Timis arrived in a visible position with a water field, covered in a cloak of grass to disguise, and lurking in the bushes.

At that time, Timis felt uncomfortable around his chest - and something small popped out of his armor.

"Kh... what...?

"... a lighting worm? They say they live in the woods, but did they enter the lady's armor?"

"I'm so flattered that you're getting inside my chest... ah, no, nothing."

McKinley slipped his mouth and Ryan stared at him. Timith watched for a while something fluffy, like a glowing little bug, but decided not to pay much attention.

--And just as it was in the notebook. Fire dragons come down from the sky, flapping their wings.

When Zushin landed with heavy tremors on the ground, the firedragon, which was about five times the size of a man, reached its neck into a pond with water flowing out of the rocks and began to drink water.

"I'm really here... what a size. It's just the three of us...."

"McKinley, keep your voice down. The Fire Dragon will notice."

"First I come out and draw the attention of the Fire Dragon. McKinley, please do as you're supposed to."

"Yes, ma'am, I will do my best, but please be careful."

The three nodded to each other. Timith moistened his teasing throat with the water Lia had given him - and as he had studied many times in his notebooks, he jumped out of the bushes.

--The Fire Dragon noticed and looked back. And after putting Timis with a spear in his sight, he opens his mouth loud - trying to growl to let the forest know that he has found the enemy.

"--McKinley, now!

McKinley had already set up the Albarest and sharpened his aim.

What he's after is a big, open mouth of a firedragon. Based on experience, we apply corrections to the orbit, pull the trigger, and eject!

Timis steps sideways to clear the rays. The bullet fired hits the mouth of the firedragon without being hindered by anything.

"Gugah... gufu, gufu!

McKinley fired one of several bullets he had left in Silver Bottle Pavilion. What's in there is a Silence Bomb - a bullet that stops the dragon roaring.

A giant firedragon with the height of looking up is flipped by a single bullet. At that time, Rhea already flew out - the carnivores themselves rushed through and flashed their swords.

"--haaa!

The target is the leg. Fire Dragon wings are covered in thick scales, so the blade spills with a sword - but the legs are different.

"Ghhhhh...!

The scales were shredded by Ryan's blow, and the firedragon stepped on him. Fearing danger, the firedragon floats with its wings wide open - its incredible wind pressure leaves Rhea unable to chase down and back off.

The battle has just begun. However, the three were confident that they were standing against the firedragon.

Fire Dragons fly and move around threatened by sudden raids. When Timis looked up at the sky, the firestorm circled to the right and then headed towards its destination.

A firedragon that cannot be chased from the ground. But if you know where you're going, it's different.

"Lady, if you turn to the right, the fire dragon will go...."

"Yes, as I wrote in my notebook... let's hurry, both of you!

The three of them nodded and ran.

From behind, a glowing object jumped out of Timmy's chest and flew after him.
