Eileen and Yuma watched from the lookout room, but were relieved by the sight reflected by the lights.

When Irina heard that a cave in the middle of the valley had collapsed, the people at the observation post became noisy. Ashtor-Farido on the Elsein side was suspected of being behind Albain's plot and was in a state of flash attack.

If the clash had broken out, Eileen would have left, but Cody was keeping the balance by controlling Ashton alone and the other two magic dukes present.

"Ahh... good. I really wonder what to do when the cave collapses...."

I wanted to go to help immediately, but before that, Rimserit sent me a message. Cody, who received a reminder from Rimserit at the same time, told him that Sphere and Julius had been caught in the cave collapse and that if we went back up the valley, we would reach the scene.

In front of the first sight crystal, when Irina's black dragon led a group of firefly dragons through, looking at the scene projected by the phantom crystal, when Ashtle mistakenly believed that the Albain dragons were going to attack King Julius, Irene was ready that a battle was inevitable, but Verlaine was looking forward to it and struck a hand to calm the Elsain side.

"Verlaine summoned Beatrice."

"Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I'm surprised that the Duke of Ashtle is Bear's grandfather, even though he looks young."

When Beatrice appeared at the observation post and pleaded with Ashtle to calmly determine the situation, he blamed himself for other Elsein people who suspected Albain's plot.

Still, the tension persisted, but the exit of the cave, which had collapsed at the same time as the entrance, was magically opened by Miralka's faction, and Sphere and Julius appeared in front of the crystal of sight, finally restoring calm on the Elsein side.

"With Yuma, it seems like everybody's calming down quick."

"I'm good at 'soothing'... so I can relieve the roughness even for spirits."

"I thought it would be a one-shot ascension at any time. Yuma-chan, it's always like that."

"Either way, it's a soul relieving shot. Ah, it looks like Mr. Dick has returned to the vessel of his soul. After all, this shape is the best... the connection between Dick's body and his soul makes his mind fluffy."

When she listens to Yuma, Eileen suddenly feels her body getting hot and warns herself of what she is thinking at a time like this.

(... Dick, I'm glad you're back. Can you come dry your hair again?)

I can't help but hope. Eileen was always looking forward to Dick's request while running a free adventurer in King's Landing.

It was more comfortable to rely on Dick than anything else. Becoming his companion was the biggest of what he gained by volunteering for the Demon King Crusaders.

Eileen was young and became the most powerful militant in the family, respected like a god from around her, while being discriminated against for not being a pureblooded demon.

Eileen, who was only close to forgiving her relatives, yearned for a relationship where someone trusted her and she trusted herself. It was Dick and his friends who gave it to me first.

Miralka, Yuma, Cody. Relationship with three people who have a deeper bond than their family. And I thought Dick's relationship had to be the same. Otherwise, the balance may collapse and everyone may fall apart.

"... Eileen, we've been together forever. Whatever happens, it is. If your soul misses you, I want to realize it before anyone else. But I think you're all the same."

"Don't you think Yuma would miss someone if they took Dick?

"Well, is that... um, Eileen, are you going to take it? No, you shouldn't treat Mr. Dick like he was taken or taken."

"Well, that's right... oh, that's not what I'm saying. After all, I don't have enough ideas. I have to know when and when."

"That's not true, it's very important. I don't think you should forget how important someone is at all times. Or can Eileen get rid of Dick from time to time and occasionally?

A gentle narrative and a smile. But Yuma's words were powerful.

I would never do such a thing myself. Yuma says she thinks about Dick no matter what happens.

"... Yuma, what did you think when you found out that Sphere was your daughter?

"Ah... yes, it's already... it's so nice that the testimony of the bond with Dick and everyone is born as a new life in this way..."

"Yeah, me too. And now, if Dick doesn't notice, I won't miss him that much anymore."

"Yes, I understand. But what do you really think?

After seeing Emma reply with a smile, I think Eileen is invincible. And he smiled as he saw the dragons that had reached the finishing point, reflected by the slide crystal.

"I can't give up until you realize, and I won't give up. Let's calm down and try to attack a little more boldly."

"I'm sure you're all the same. I'm a priest, so I can only touch my soul...."

"Ah, I'm leaving a way out. What was Yuma's father's mother's profession?

"Ha, yes... but I think Dick only thinks about me as much as his sister. I told you I was like oniisan....."

"If you look at how you treat Mizuha, you may not realize that you are a sister. But Yuma-chan's way of speaking is grown-up, so if you try to be sweet, it might not be the same again."

"Yes, that's... incredibly difficult. I prefer spoiling to sweetening."

If Yuma were to grow up and show her maternity as her mother, Eileen would imagine that no one else could win.

"If God will forgive me, I would like to make Dick a good boy on a cheerful afternoon and fully check the touch of my soul....."

"... you're thinking more than I am, really. You want your hair to dry, but you're a little too reluctant."

"The fluffy hair of Mr Aileen is something that Dick helped occasionally ♪"

"Ah... well, I don't get it done every day. I do it every day....."

"Ah, it looks like it's time to come back. I've been watching you sleep for so long... it's kind of rough."

Yuma's chest is too high and looks a little bitter. Eileen said that her body's fever hasn't subsided for a while, so she might become a demon by herself.

◆ ◇ ◆

The valley continues well ahead of the vision crystal, which was installed as the finishing point of the Dragon Ride Battle, hitting the Elseine side of the mountains.

Sphere was the first to pass through the last crystal of vision. Julius had already admitted his defeat, he said, and flew to the end to shape the settlement.

Irina and Mermaire greet us and fly in line with Julius. We need to hear from them later, but now we have to finish the post-match report.

"Dad, I'll go to the kings and say hello."

"Yeah, we're watching."

Verlaine is on Irina's dragon. She will stand in front of everyone and explain herself about her stay in Albain and her rush to the scene.

Sphere lowers the banning near the observation post and Cody picks me up. After Cody stroked their head and made them happy, they put their hands together and entered the building.

"Fufu... Cordelia, you look like your mother."

"Master, don't be too straightforward. He's shy too."

"There's someone here who's most embarrassed."

Miralka in the back is trying to grab my shoulder. As a result, the voice echoes from the back of the head and does not settle down.

"Well, shall we get off, too? I need to see Sphere's sunny stage."

"I don't know what to say in public, but I'm nervous about my daughter... * giggle!

"Ah... sorry. We need to get down a little slower."

When the mother dragon begins to descend under the orders of the master, a pitch occurs - the master can tell by stroking the head of the mother dragon, but Miralka is surprised and her posture collapses.

"Are you okay? Hold on tight."

"Ugh... don't point your nerves at my back. You should be able to do that."

"Back... wow...!

"That's why I told you not to point it at me! I'll destroy you!

The black combat clothes I always wear, and the coat - and even from there, the shape of Miralka's clothes also conveys elasticity with a rich sense of quantity.

"Dee, Dee, don't touch anything weird like this."

"No, no, I'm just holding onto my hips...."

"Your hands are in danger, just pinch your clothes. Come on, pull back even more...."

"Wait, don't pull your arm!

"Hey, hey, Dee-kun, I said no, but not now..."

"That's why I'm telling you to stay away, you lewd fuck! Pervert Dick!"

Miralka tries to keep my hand away from my master until he leaves behind - naturally, it will hit my chest, it will hit my back, it will be rampant, or it will be called a tyrant.

I stepped down from the landed firedragon, took Miralka and Master's legs and put them down, and then I exhaled deeply.

"... what are you looking like, a victim?"

"Ah... I'm weak to your face like this. I'm sorry, Dee, but you better hold on tight because of the balance. [M] Don't hesitate to hang in there from now on."

The two of them were careful, but I shouldn't have said at this time that I was glad to be back in my original body, so I just dared to hide my feelings.

◆ ◇ ◆

As everyone waited silently, Sphere and Julius appeared before the spectators. And Julius started talking after seeing Ashtle and his servants.

"I'm sorry I upset everyone. Somebody got information about the Dragon Wars and attacked them somewhere… Formerly an Albain adventurer, but escaping control of the kingdom and plotting a plot on his own."

His Majesty's expression became steep. It is not the Kingdom's duty to keep abreast of adventurer trends; the Adventurer Alliance should have done so. But after Lugard took off his guild, his guild left him unaware of his whereabouts.

I belonged to the Purple Scorpion Pavilion. That guild, which specializes in assassination requests, was finally shut down by Cody. If Lugard had remained, would he have fought Cody - or would he have fought his master as "evil"?

He's dangerous, but he can't be deterred by purple scorpions or other guilds. Only the Demon King Crusaders can beat the SS rank.

"... that Alvin wasn't involved in the adventurer's actions. I want you to believe it...."

"Ugh... Dear Verlaine!

Beatrice speaks up as Ashtle attempts to cast doubt. Everyone on the spot turned their gaze to the revealed Verlaine.

--As Sphere said, he's wearing a mask. Unlike what we used as the "masked savior", it was like highlighting the demonic glory of Verlaine in the form of a demon king.

"I also went to the rescue and watched until I defeated the raiders. It was the Albains who saved Julius. As you all know, the Demon King Crusaders moved me."

"... demon king, crusaders... why? Why did Verlaine admit to those who attacked our country...?"

Verlaine's eyes sharpen as Ashtle asks questions. People on the Albain side, excluding us, can't move like frogs stared at by snakes.

- Yes. Albain's not a threat to Elsein without us. Those who did not know it realized that they had always been behind a shield called ours.

King Klaus is also under pressure from his intimidation, sweating his forehead, but not turning his eyes away from Verlaine.

"I thought there was nothing guilty of being exploited by the strong. I still think so... but when the Demon King Crusaders defeated me, they gave me acceptable conditions and kept Elsein in its present form. I thought it was natural to be exploited if I lost to a strong man... and I began to wonder the meaning of that compassion every time I followed him."

Five years before Verlaine came to King's Landing. In the meantime, what was Verlaine thinking - why did she come alone to get the protective talisman that could have been returned via the country? She is beginning to tell the real reason.

"I've been thinking about losing to them for five years. I thought I couldn't teach some demons who had only thoughts close to the beast not to eat people. But no... they could live without eating people. Elsein's augers, trolls, orcs, and so forth, now live in the same way as elves and spiritual people, farming and hunting."

In five years, she was able to change that, because Verlaine's administration went well, and even if she defeated us, she was still very attractive.

"It will be suddenly difficult for the people of Albain and the demons of great diversity to interact with each other. However, this does not mean that there is no dialogue at all. If there is no dialogue at the border, it will be a battle from trivial mistakes. Five years ago, it was. But not now."

"... yes, I've heard that. We still think of the demons as having a culture we don't understand. The Demon King Crusaders opened a hole for us, but we couldn't cross the wall. Then we rely too much on peace for the Demon King Crusaders."

His Majesty the King Klaus had no choice but to acknowledge the fact that the Demon King Crusaders had created a power relationship with Elsein, not the power of the nation itself.

"That's right... that's no good. When there is a greater threat, there must never be another fight between our nations. The Demon King Crusaders are trying to use their power wherever they need it. Not for the war between the two countries."

"... that was to protect His Majesty Julius... but not just to defeat this raider. Is that what you're saying?"

Instead of answering the Duke of Ashtle's question, Verlaine calls the Dark Elf woman, who was behind Elsein's seat.

Yes, Mermaire - wearing the armor of the Guardian Knight and a dress worn by a noble woman, as if she had been prepared by Verlaine, or royalty at a glance, is greeted with amazement from both countries.

"... I'll see you again. My name is Melmer-Klune-Latochris, and I've been helping you fight dragons as Elsein's Guardian Knight."

"Ratochris... a demonic country divided from our country and printed in the south of the continent. Why is the princess of that country here...!?

Ashtle may not be aware, but his explanation makes it easier for everyone here to swallow up.

"Our country... was taken from its throne by adventurers who left Albain. As it stands, the Latticists will invade Albain... but that was never our intention."

"... the Demon King Crusaders must also be Albain's adventurers. They influenced you and thought you could attack if you were a demonic country. Then even though we are proud, we still have to fight humans to get freedom....."

"Grandfather, that's not true. The Demon King Crusaders are just trying to protect them. Had the brave men been willing to shed a lot of blood, Albain wouldn't have been like this...!

In response to Beatrice's appeal, the Duke of Ashtle managed to restore calm.

--Me and my friends here have more burning feelings than the Duke of Ashton.

He looks like he wants to go to Ratclis immediately, such as Cody. There is no way that a man who values justice as much as he can let go of the atrocities that will be committed in Ratchrist for a minute and a second.

"... Beatrice. As for the Duke, please refrain from speaking here."

"No, Lord Ashton, she's right. Albain relies too much on the Demon King Crusaders, and he feels ashamed of them, but we are proud to have been born in this country with the presence of the Demon King Crusaders, even though we are not worthy of it. They are not the same as the ones who took Ratochris. Either way, our country should now move to save the demonic kingdom of Ratclis....."

"No, you don't have to. Moving the army will cost you a lot. I would like you to wait and see about Ratchris for a while. And not to upset the public."

His Majesty Klaus nods at Cody's suggestion. It illustrated the decisions of the Kingdom of Albain itself.

"... all we can do in our country is help as much as possible. I will never interfere with the actions of former King Verlaine more than I lost the Dragon War. I would like to accept your country's offer."

"King Julius, we want one thing. To advance national transportation one step further, enhance each other, and aim to be the cornerstone of strong countries. In order to reward the will of the Demon King Crusaders, we must be strong in order not to fight."

"I fully agree. I would like to reschedule and offer my alliance to Albain. To start a new relationship, not a truce, but as a friendly country."

His Majesty Klaus and Julius took their seats - they walked in and shook hands.

It was our daughter who first clapped. Next thing you know, we're gonna -- we're gonna spill it all over and everybody's gonna start applauding.

Lowe, Primiere, and Ashtle. People who don't know their names yet may not have swallowed up everything, but they will agree to an alliance in the near future.

Verlaine and Sphere thanked him and came out to the waiting room where we were. And the two of them took off their masks and smiled happily at me.

"I thought your masters were watching and I was nervous... but it was comfortable. Thank you again."

"Dad, I'm sure everyone will get along from now on."

"Ah... that's right. Excellent work, Sphere. Verlaine, too."

"... above all, I'm relieved to have your husband say that."

When Verlaine approaches me, she says nothing and puts her forehead on my chest. Everyone was a little surprised, but she let me do what she did.

The battle of the dragon riders, conditioned on their return to Elsein, and the fact that they had not stood in front of everyone for a long time as demon kings - no matter how much Verlaine, the effort would have been considerable.

"... good work. I still have a lot of work to do, but once I get back to King's Landing, I hope I get some rest."

"Ahh... let me do that. I feel more comfortable working as a shopkeeper."

Verlaine's eyes were slightly moist as she raised her face. Are you relieved and happy about Julius and that we're safe?

When she tried to stroke Verlaine's hair and move her hand, she stopped in sight of what everyone was saying. I can't thank you enough for my return to my original body, for all the other things you've done. I wanted to work with them as long as possible just before I left for Ratochris.
