Hyaku Ma No Aruji

It's been a few days.

The puffiness and information comes in every day, but there's not much dizziness yet.

After all, the story of the "Queen of Enchantment" was the topic that most tickled the hearts and minds of the demons.

◆ ◆ ◆

"For once, because it's called enchantment, I've focused on finding out from that aspect whether you're an actor or a mental system technique that enchants someone -"

Lilium was being heard from Merea's room that day.

It's not the office, it's Merea's own room.

"Yeah, yeah, what do you got?

"No, I don't know the other way around. That's a lot of brackets, actually."

"Oh well... Well, the technique over there is very difficult, but it's also very effective."

"When you deal with humans, variable expressions become enormous. It's as powerful as you say it is when it works properly. - So for that matter, even a little something is quite noticeable. There was also a lot of literature about who manipulated people, what if they were people, and how, by way of example, the boundaries with creation were ambiguous. There's a lot of literature about Puppet King, and it's easier to understand. But it wasn't fascinating, it was physically and forcibly manipulating people's bodies..."

"Besides, Celias already used the secret trick of the Puppet King, so I don't know if it's descendants or another heir, but I'm guessing the operator's been killed."

"Speaking of which, you did."

From the corner of the room, there is one voice that answers the words of Lilium.

The voice is raised from around the costume shelf.

If you look closely, there was a figure in the open costume shelf clutching one's head and wandering something.

I see slightly snowy white hair from the gaps in the scattered clothes. - It's Melea.

"Oh, where did you get those clothes?"

"... Oh, you, clean the room a little. And Mariza?"

Seeing clothes overflowing as a torrent from the costume shelf, Lillium held her forehead by her hand as she sighed.

"I'm still resting now"

"... Speaking of which, you had a 'Riot Empire' seizure yesterday. Is that why you don't have the cleaning hands?"

"Yes, yes."

"By the way, are you hurt?

"Mariza's fine."

"I know that. Whatever your condition, there's no way you're hurting Marisa. I'm asking if you're hurt."

Lilium skipped the words with a slightly sharp voice.

Then Merea pulls her torso out of the lake of clothes and turns towards Lilium with a few pieces of underwear on her head.

There was a light color on his face. Otherwise, it's a look like a child who was excited before he went away and couldn't even be there.

Lilium looked at the face and sighed again.

"I'll be fine, too."

"You're hurt."

To the words of Merea, who spinned briefly, but Lilium wore those words without getting her hair in between.

At that much speed, Merea is closing her eyes properly.

And Lilium frowned a little angrily, sighing loudly again, before looking straight at Merea.

"You did."

"- Yeah. But it's healed"

Lilium was particularly good at spotting Merea's lies.

Lillium herself. I didn't know why, but there was something about Lillium that I could tell that the subtle differences in expression hidden in Merea's grin were to be taken into my hands.

When Lillium told him, Merea raised her hands, as she had noticed, and in the end she was answering honestly.

You don't have to tell Marisa.

"You can't say. Because if she finds out she hurt you herself, she'll keep hiding and crying for a week. I'm just too busy taking care of that."

With that said, Lilium steps into Merea's room.

The opposing Merea, so loud that it didn't sound like Lilium, was grinning bitterly, "I guess Lilium will take care of you when you actually do," she said.

One of these days, Lilium comes to the side of Merea, who is ragged in a scattered spot of clothing, giving in, roughly, to gaze at each other.

and was limping up Merea's arms with luxurious hands as she was.

"Where"

"There. - Right arm, because I broke to first restrain Mariza in that condition"

Merea replied pale, not grieving or angry, but with a thin grin.

It was time for Merea to realize that she was unfavourable to lying to Lilium.

"What else?

"The others are small. Bruises, lacerations, that kind of thing."

"... yes"

Lilium paid the red forehead with one hand and hung it in her ear as it was.

Keep your eyes close to Merea's arm, which still remains limp, and observe carefully, while ensuring your vision.

The sight of a girl of unconventional beauty continuing to stare into her arms as she devoured was also slightly more distracting from Melea, who waited still for her arm to drop as she let her gaze swim calmly around her.

"Hands, shake."

"Hmm? Yeah."

Lillium had given instructions, so Merea nodded and held her fist.

"Open."

"Yes."

"... well, that sounds really okay"

Lilium finally let go of Merea's hand as she was satisfied and exhaled with her nose as she distracted herself from the tension.

In the motion that follows, Lilium puts her hands on her hips and now looks up at Merea's face.

While upper-eyed, his eyes had the power not to say whether or not, enough to unwittingly twitch Merea.

"Sometimes I say something about what I can't do, but it's not a shy connection, so I'll say it right away."

"Hmm?"

"Do better next time."

"- Oh, I know."

To Lilium's words, Merea had nodded with a serious look.

"For you and for Marisa"

"Yeah."

"Mariza doesn't remember when she was in that state, but I'm sure she's got enough predictions of what's going on with her. So, I don't remember, but I think I know I must have waved my fist at the beloved Lord"

……

"Don't barely cry because you don't remember, Mariza."

"... yeah"

Lilium also knew Mariza very well.

"So even if Mariza remembers, it's ideal to contain her perfectly enough to put her chest up and say 'nothing'. Of course, the most important thing is that there will be no more 'Tyranny Period', because that's something Mariza will do for herself, and I'm sure it will take some time"

"Lilium sounds like your sister. I've been watching everyone."

"Are you listening properly?

"Come on."

I pulled Melea's ear with one hand as Lillium embarked on herself with an inadvertently amusing grin.

"I'm listening. I'm listening. We'll do better next time."

"Do so. And then they're leaving tonight, but I think Mariza's still dragging on about yesterday, so leave her on the road, as appropriate. Because I think I'm getting organized inside myself just when I get to Virginia. - 'Cause you're good around here, that woman."

Lilium said as she put her arms together.

Marisa's call goes back to 'The Woman' again.

Merea was there capturing her illuminating colors.

"Yes, well, that's the place.... That's really dirty. Why are you such a mess in a day or two? The way you fold your clothes is so messed up!

"He said it was a bad time. I was looking for all kinds of equipment to go away..."

"Oh already......, yes, take this, this. And this robe and this skin outfit because the wind will be cold along the sea."

Soon after the two of them realized they were buried in their clothes, Lilium turned around and picked up their tight and surrounding clothes with both hands.

I don't mind the man's underwear, but when I do what I need, I find it and put it in a cloth bag that I left next to Melea.

Merea was just letting the mouth of the cloth bag open with both hands, making it as adulterous as the cat she had borrowed so as not to interfere with such lilium movements.

◆ ◆ ◆

The departure for the art city of Virgilia was imminent that night.

Upon being informed by the person that Mariza's onset of tyranny was imminent, Melea adjusted her departure after that.

As a result, Mariza tyrannized just about at the right time without so much significance of adjustment, but given the load on her body, she also wanted to take a few more days off.

But Marisa herself shook her head at it.

He didn't want me to spend more time than I needed because of myself.

Marisa was the same again that there was stubbornness not to give way to her stubbornness, and in the end, there was Shaw's advice that she would be able to slow down on the road, so she decided to leave the next night.

That evening.

Merea had finished packing that Lilium had helped her with and had been wandering through the city gates of Lemuse by herself early.

The other way is' outside 'of the gates of Lemuse.

Exterior walls had recently been built around the city by instruction of Harsim, and that evening the architects of Lemuse were still building the walls in white stone with a fresh sweat at their best.

Through beside them, Merea goes further around the outer circumference as she is sometimes called by name or by the issue.

Where do you want to go?

"Noelu"

"Yikes!!"

The black dragon (Railnote) is sleeping, it was a "nest hole".

◆ ◆ ◆

Walking a little north out of the west gate of Lemuse, there is its nest hole.

Grounddragons sometimes built nests in holes, or they cleverly built nests by loading trees and plants on the ground, and their ecology ran out of words of diversity, but Noel's nest was in a hole warehouse.

Half of the reason we built the nest in the hole barn was Noel's preference, and the other half was due to instructions from Merea and Harsim.

"If you slept with Deng in the northwest of Lemuse, merchants and travelers would freak out and run away."

"Huh?"

Melea stood in front of a certain simple building.

In front of such Merea's eyes is a black dragon with a long neck out of the front door of the building where the entrance was built large when he did it.

The sight of the dragon's face popping out of the building's doorway is more graceful than a well-made suspicion.

"Though, you're still in disguise here..."

The building was not meant for people to live in.

It is, so to speak, a 'cover' to hide Noel's nest hole.

The building is untouched and the ground remains dewy.

But the struts were well calculated and built, and hands were put on quite carefully to prevent Noel from falling when he stepped himself out of the hole barn inside.

"Hmm? You, you connected the nest hole to another place. I can't get used to smelling anything."

"Gha."

Melea sensed, furthermore, that an unfamiliar smell was drifting from the doorway of the building where Noel was necking out.

Never an unpleasant smell.

It's more of a sober smell of herbs or fragrances made by crushing plants.

Convinced that there was a mixture of plant smells there, Merea concurred shortly afterwards.

"Northwest Forest..."

……

When Merea spinned, Noel drowned his head a little with a look of sorry on its dragon face.

"No, I don't mind, don't dig too much, okay? And you can't dig under the lemuse. If the ground is loose, it will be difficult.... I'll tell Hershem later about the digs and let him put his mark down..."

"Grrr."

Melea sighed one sigh as she stroked Noel's cheek with her hand, which reacted like a human being.

Noel's body is one more turn bigger than it was when he first came to Lemuse.

There were also verses (fumigations) in which the demon kings other than Merea came here occasionally and Noel began to understand the human language because he began to take care of Noel.

Though originally there seemed to be a capability close to it, it also seemed that the high ecological capability and intelligence of the ground dragon had grown Noel to adapt more to the environment.

The rate of that much growth was surprising with Merea, but we didn't even know what caused this.

It may simply have been the result of a superior tribe among the earth dragons.

"You, I wonder where you got off from. Ask Kurtista if he'll understand."

I remember a friend of Merea's Tenryu (Tacea).

Would a dragon friend who would surely still be swimming in the sky somewhere in the world be excited about the ground dragon situation as well?

- Shall I ask you next time I come to see you?

I haven't seen Kurtista since I saw that magnificent silver lady (like) in the midst of the clouds only once after the battle with Museg.

Originally, Merea also knew that Tenryu was a heavenly being that tended to be separated from the secular, so while she thought it was a little rusty, she had nothing to blame in particular.

"Well, can't you come down while I'm in town like this?"

Merea spinned her own head with the opposite hand of Noel's neck.

"Even when we go to the Northwest Forest, to which Noel is connected, let's call it a bit"

With that in mind, I separated my thoughts there.

"So,"

Melea had something to tell Noel.

After stroking Noel's neck one by one, Melea again stands before Noel and opens her mouth broadly, more or less.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■

From its mouth, a voice of heavy and strange tones was spun.

Dragon language.

To the voice released from Merea's mouth, Noel opens her eyes slightly and returns a straight gaze.

■ ■

And such a dragon language of neat sound was emitted from Noel's mouth.

He used to be Noel, who played Merea and was told 'dragon language is a snake in dragon's ass', but it was worth the training afterwards, and now he started spinning dragon language just like Merea.

"It's unprecedented that people teach dragon language to dragons," Salman says.

The difference in Noel's response between being spoken in human language and being spoken in dragon language is probably imitating Merea.

As Merea used to separate humanities from dragon language, Noel also used to separate the usual animal ringing and when spinning heavy and neat dragon language.

■ ■ ■

■ ■ ■

Noel, listening to Merea's dragon language with a serious expression, was returning a reaction, nodding and shaking his wear like a human from time to time.

In contrast, Merea also adds gestures and spins several more words of dragon language.

That's how some time went by, and the exchange between one person and one head finally marked an end.

"Okay, this is more or less the case. I can use your help when I have to, so I'm close to the city of art."

"Yikes!"

"If you use the path I just said, you don't have many eyes - Shaw said. Well, you'd be able to make your own decisions, too, but for once."

Finally, Merea tapped Noel's nose tip lightly about twice and said.

"Please, Noel"

"Geez!"

To Merea's voice Noel shook his neck with joy, and the building swallowed loudly because of it.

"Okay, well, calm down. Break this and a bill will come to Startree Castle. We'll all get less pennies......!

"Gha......"

Noel stopped moving perfectly for Merea's stillness, but his face was somewhat unhappy as well.

"You don't know, the cruelty of the human created gold!!"

Noel responded only with his neck clenched to Melea's protest in tears.
