Hyaku Ma No Aruji

The black dragon was flickering with the flames of life by the lake.

He reacts to the flames of life running around his feet and is like a dog jumping for fun.

"That's pretty cute looking at you like this"

The demon kings watched from the shadow of the grass leaves, loosening their dusty expressions.

If Salman gives his simple thoughts, the other demon kings nod yeah.

- But.

Shortly after the demon kings saw cuteness towards the earth dragon, a tragedy broke out in the flames of life that were deflecting with the earth dragon.

"Gaw!"

The right foreleg of the ground dragon, wielded in a light and slight appearance with a pleasant chirping, struck directly at the flame of life.

The beating brought a gentle fierce wind, and blew the life flames of a man's head like dust.

"Gah..."

Ground dragon opens its dragon mouth gently to stop the movement, not to mention that it did it unintentionally.

He turns his neck and looks around a little, but he still doesn't have the appearance of life flames.

As I finally admitted that I had blown the flames of my life.

"Gahoo."

I had a big sigh.

The demon kings who watched it from the shadow of the grass leaves,

"Hey, wait. - Hey.... hey! If you screw me like that, you'll die!!"

"Hey! If I get deflected like that, I'm confident I'll die instantly!? I'd like to buy peace of mind with the power of gold. Will the Dragons accept bribes or something?!?"

"I don't think it will ever work..."

"Ahhh! That's why I don't like non-human organisms! If the power of gold doesn't work, I won't!

He was terrorizing his mouth and shaking his body.

◆ ◆ ◆

"All right, then I'll go. - It's probably my fault."

In the meantime, Merea was taking the initiative and embarking on herself.

Pay for the grass leaves with your hands and walk forward with two or three steps.

Looking over there, the earth dragon's consciousness, which was obsessed with the flames of life, returned and apparently noticed the signs of the demon kings around him.

No movement, but a gaze peering at the shadow of the grass leaves.

And soon after the other demon kings stopped, Merea went on and on.

"You, have you followed me? - Is your body good enough?

Finally, he exposes himself to the sight of the Grounddragon.

Then the ground dragon noticed what Merea looked like,

"Nga!!"

He was happily letting himself stand up with an upbeat squeal.

Further from there,

"Gaw!"

Like a dog shaking with joy and tagging off, he thrusts his body toward Merea.

A dog would laugh and watch, but the size was too big to call it a dog.

As you can see, Merea is a tiny human being in the midst of a dragon.

Some of them played themselves out of the grass shadow like they panicked, but most demon kings could only watch as their mouths whispered about the curse.

"Oh, hey, calm down."

"Gah! Gah! Gah!"

But Merea wasn't hit.

Merea was single-handedly taking down the Great Tree of the Ground Dragon.

He is dragging some of his legs backwards under the impetus of a rush, but taking it easy.

The lower jaws of the demon kings opened once again.

……

Merea at the time didn't notice their reaction, and now she was scratching her cheeks like she was in trouble as she began to run around herself twirling around to her restlessness.

"-Do you want me to...?

In the end, Merea was asking everyone for a solution to the situation.

From the demon kings who haven't even swallowed up the situation in front of them well yet, there's no way they can come up with a solution or anything.

Naturally the answer to that is:

"And you should know!!"

It was total tsukomi.

I wanted you to explain the situation in front of me first.

◆ ◆ ◆

After a while, Merea finally started explaining the calm ground dragon beside her.

Ground dragons push their nose tips against their backs and bellies, so while their bodies are rocked backwards in front, they first tell one thing about what happened at Shaw's Chamber of Commerce.

We talked a little on the road to some of the demon kings, but not everyone knew about it.

"Still, you're in trouble..."

After finishing her explanation, Merea put her cheeks lightly on and put her troubled face on.

Even as Merea, I didn't think this earth dragon would come after me.

I didn't try to sell you any favors, and I didn't use the blood of the Pharmaceutical King (Karla-Nazar) to get consideration.

If I told you, it was a whim.

I'm not saying I never sympathized, but I didn't have anything like goodwill or anything like that with me then.

Still, if I dare say so, it was an act of wondering if I could repay Shaw at all for relying heavily on him on his travels so far.

That has apparently turned a lot of strange directions.

As a tenant who created the status quo, Merea had a glimmer of reprimand for herself in her heart.

"Even if it wasn't, would it have stood out"

Merea sighed small as she stroked the forehead of the ground dragon with her hand.

Then one of the demon kings, who has finally gathered in his body of approximation, gives his voice in the form of an answer to Melea's words, even as he watches the motion of the earth dragon.

"It will also depend on the path you have followed. However, so far, there's no sign of anyone who seems to have been following the Grounddragon, and I don't think there's a problem. - Or maybe the sight of a ground dragon of this size rushing around the crowd would be a fear to an ordinary person, so instead you didn't want to get close."

It was Shaw.

He still nailed that gaze to the ground dragon, but somehow regained enough room to spin the word.

"Why don't you ask?

and Shaw urged Merea by pointing to the ground dragon.

"So is that."

Merea nodded at Shaw's words,

――■■■ ■ ■

I spinned the example dragon language.

As always, it's a line of sounds unrecognizable as words to the other demon kings, but when you see the Grounddragon more responsive to that voice, it still seems to be made up as a language.

With their necks around wondering what language system it was, they waited for Melea to interpret the dragon's words.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Melea's dragon language again.

"Gaw, gaw"

The ground dragon was answering Merea's question with his neck hanging.

■ ■ ■ ■

"Gaw"

Unlike the sounds of the earth dragons, Merea's dragon language is a little heavy, and the connection between words and words is smooth.

The opposite ground dragon can easily understand and hear the cloudiness, but whether it is a ringing or a language is not the most subtle part.

"Gee."

■ ■

"Gaw, gaw"

"■ ■ ■ Gaw"

"Oh, mixed up," someone said.

- And after the last dragon language she spinned like she was stuck, Merea shrugged her shoulders and switched the words she spoke to humanities.

"Damn you to dragon language..., how about a heck of a lot more than me as a real dragon...!

I say with my snow and white hair dripping forward and a big one dripping.

"Yikes!"

Grounddragons were happy to answer such Merea's words.

"I wonder if the specifications are subtly different between the ground dragon (Railnote) and the tenryu (Tacea)..."

I raise my face, and now spin it as I look up into the sky.

I wondered if I could even see a dragon living in heaven among the clouds ahead that looked up, but there was nothing in Merea's sight but a frivolous cloud.

"So, what did he do? - Or is it him? Could it be her?"

"Oh, it's him. - So, wow, 'I don't know'"

I said as Merea looked down obliquely from looking up at the sky and looked at the inquired chau.

"This again..."

As Shaw shrugs his shoulders, the Demon Kings drop their shoulders simultaneously.

But Merea's words didn't end there.

"He just said he didn't feel like he was being chased by anything, as Shaw expected. This is still a dragon, and I'm pretty sure it's because of its high perceptual abilities. They were wild until the dragon died."

To the words that follow, now take a breath of ho.

Shoulder strength was lost due to relief (mostly) rather than discouragement.

"Hmm, then let's just say okay for one second. - Yeah, for once."

Shaw put his hand on his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

Ground dragons were getting a lot more excited in those days, and now they were turning their consciousness around.

He looked around intriguingly at the demon kings around him and seemed to remember each and every face.

"Even if it's good to get this far, the problem is coming. The dragon of the land..."

Shaw hung up and gently snapped his neck.

"- Speaking of which, do you have a name or something? If you call it a dragon forever, I'd like to believe that it's inconvenient to wear it when you run into other dragons."

It was a simple question.

Melea then immediately answers Shaw's question.

■ ■ ■

Other demon kings, including Shaw, could not hear the words well.

"Yes?"

"Name."

"Ahhh......"

Well, that goes for it, too, and Shaw applauds it as if it were a point.

"It's a dragon, and that's a dragon name, isn't it? - Then translate it into good things humanities."

"To the humanities? Mm, erm..."

To the abrupt demands of Shaw, Melea now circles her eyes and begins to groan.

After a while,

"No... uh... ■ ■... no, it's not... erm..."

Melea's face, which roared in the narrow space between humanities and dragon language, felt like she was working very hard, but from other demon kings who couldn't figure out the hardship of that sleigh, it also seemed somewhat funny.

But from them, who were watching Merea, who was letting her kill from her back on the horse, that's how Merea, who normally worries, also looked like a good one.

And, as the demon kings gaze at Merea, they finally brighten their expressions like they flashed.

"... (Noel). - Yeah, this is probably the closest thing!

That was a delightful look.

He looks like a child who is happy to solve difficult problems.

"Well, Noel. Then let's call it that."

While Shaw gets confirmation around him, he sends his gaze to Hiro and Ground Dragon - Noel.

Noel, listening to the exchange between Shaw and Merea, leaned his neck from time to time and said, "What?" and even used questionable voices to see how things were going.

In those days, the demon kings were still a little frightened, but gradually de-alerted.

More than anything else, it would have been a factor that made sure Noel didn't see any hostility.

Eventually a meeting was to be held on the spot, close enough to touch Noel's body with a pepper.

◆ ◆ ◆

"- At this point, you might want to run through it all at once."

It was Shaw who made such a statement to the head of the meeting.

The demon kings' gaze focuses on one point.

Shaw added gestures and spinned the words lightly with a unique rhythm that often resonated in his ears by way of example.

"It will be hard to just take the grounddragon and go discreetly. Even if you don't follow me, I'm sure he - Noel will follow you. - Apparently, I'm very grateful to Melea."

Shaw directs everyone's gaze to Noel, who is lying heavily down next to Melea.

When asked about various circumstances after she heard her name, she said that Noel was very grateful to Melea for saving herself from dragon death.

Besides thinking that if they saved their lives they might do that, the Demon Kings were also convinced by the "wind" that the Grounddragons were strong.

And finally, it was also the moment I realized the strength of the dragon in the land.

"It's hard to shake your neck vertically when Merea, the savior of the day, tells you to go home. - Well, maybe there's no place to go back to the wild because you're off the herd."

That said, there was a strange sense of intimacy among the demon kings.

I felt intimate, but at the end of the day, I couldn't get rid of it.

Noel is naturally not the Demon King, but I felt the situation was somewhat similar.

In the end, the demons decided to take Noel with them.

"On top of that, it's a policy shift."

Then, at last, Shaw moved on to the point.

"From here to the territory of the Kingdom of Lemuse, is it about three days? It's only a few, and I still feel a little far away when I think I have to cross the night three times. But given the current situation, I think it's pretty close."

Considering everything that's happened since we got down Lindholm Spiritual Mountain, we've been able to get away so well.

That's the kind of common thought they have in their breasts.

"The fact that we still don't see the shadow of the Mooseg even when we get to this position means maybe the search hand hasn't reached this far. For example, he's trying to escape to the Three Kingdoms, and he's putting a search line in a shallower position."

"When it came to that, did it play a role that went around so much?"

Salman said with a strange face.

"I'm not saying it's definitive yet. But when you think about it, it's also a chance. I don't know when Mooseg will be spreading the search line, so I think switching to speed focus early is one of your hands. Oddly enough, the earth dragon thus joined his feet."

The demon kings saw Noel.

When Noel was discussing the humans, he seemed free to open the dragon entrance and yawn, but realizing that Fu and the Demon Kings' gaze was right for him, he said, "What?" and had his neck clenched.

"Noel can run with all the remaining luggage on it. That'll make the other horses lighter."

Noel's power is not comparable to that of a horse.

Even though it's not as big as an adult dragon as you can still see in the drawings, it's a body that seems to run easily even with a large number of people and loads on it.

Exactly. Twenty-two demon kings can ride on top, but when it comes to luggage, they can also be lowered to the side of the body and chest, and they're going to fit in somehow.

"So from here on out, focus on speed. Let's lighten the horse's legs and break through."

Shaw had gone through a lot of rounds by the time he put that decision on his mouth.

There is no guarantee that this is not a trap on the Mooseg side.

Maybe he's daring to dilute the search line in order to blur the Demon King.

It could be a calculation to cut the paralysis and poke at the exposed prey.

However, if we become too cautious, the number of days will be small.

Because of the emphasis placed on speed by flying the first city or by moving brilliantly in Neus-Gaus, it makes no sense to be more cautious than necessary here.

In the end, it's either one of them.

Hit it or come off.

Two choices with unclear possibilities.

The more I think about it, the more I seem to fall for the bumps, but still, Shaw thought about it.

And I let it out. - Conclusion.

"Three days left. - Let's run through prayer."

Shaw proposed the policy.

The demon kings take that suggestion and think for a while on their own.

Giving answers without thinking is bad for Shaw, who twisted his head.

Each other is equal.

That is why they understood that we should not rely too much on someone.

The fact that they had already relied heavily on [Merea] once made their thoughts stronger.

"-No, I agree with you."

It's been awhile, Salman said. I'm the number one endorser.

"Oh, I don't mind that either. I think it would be a good idea."

Plus Elma continues with a serious face.

"I don't have a god to pray for, but I agree with you. You have to be somewhat thoughtless. - I don't want to regret anything unexpected."

Lilium shrugged her shoulders and showed them with a grin that raised her eyebrow butt.

Then went on to say yes, and at the end of the day, Merea remained.

The sight of the demon kings concentrates on Merea.

"That doesn't have to be a word as' Lord ', does it?

Merea grinned bitterly at their gaze.

As for Melea, of course, I was going to speak as a Melea-Mea individual, but I also have to think about the fact that my remarks have a 'nature as a length' given what I have done so far.

I still couldn't deny the feeling that it had become so, but it was myself who undertook it.

So I didn't mean to be ignorant in that regard.

In response to such a Merea inquiry, the Demon Kings return a powerful nod.

"- Okay. Then let's be frank."

And Merea stood up at the same time as she put it so forward, she said.

◆ ◆ ◆

"- Let's go. Three days to go. Let's try one last step."

◆ ◆ ◆

There was a bright grin on that face that cheered everyone up.
