Me and Laura were flying in the sky on a magic arrow flight.

Summer peaks have been crossed, but the heat is still there. I feel comfortable with the wind flowing to my back.

Finally, we processed all the requisitions.

"Thank you!

"You are the benefactor of the village!

"I'll never forget you!

I got a lot of thanks.

I was glad to think that the land of Luminous had become a little peaceful.

This is how my power helped me.

It was a journey that I had a lot to gain. I'm sure it will come in handy when I become lord one day.

After everything we had done, we were moving towards the realm capital, Luminous.

At that time...

"Ah! Mr. Alberto! Rain!"

There were dark clouds standing in there as if they were boundaries, and it was raining ahead of us.

"Laura, please."

"Yes!"

Laura took out her little cane.

"Wind Curtain!

At that moment, the curtain of the wind covered our bodies.

The wind plays the rain.

"That'll help."

"I'll take care of the support!

When we're flying through the rain like that...

"There's a big lake over there!

"Uh, right..."

There was a lake there that was not as good as Lake Bimyarne, but seemed to have a kilometre on hand.

"... that?

Laura narrows her eyes and looks down.

I spoke up.

"What's wrong with you?

"In the middle of the lake, you have a ship."

Laura was right, there was a pompous boat in the middle of a wide lake.

"... you have people on board..."

"Yes. Weird, isn't it?

There's a boat drifting in this rain that's not trying to move anywhere.

It would be trouble to think normally.

"... help..."

I landed on the shore of the lake.

Then Laura uses witchcraft.

"Water Walking!

Thanks to Laura's magic, the two of us can walk on the water.

500 meters to where the ship is located.

Not so far away.

Me and Laura walked towards the boat.

"Hmm...?

Laura spills a strange voice.

"Isn't something weird, Mr. Alberto, that ship?

"... what?

"Something... like low"

"Low?"

"Against the water... it's sinking!?

As Laura said, the ship was submerged in the water about half the time.

Danger!

We rushed out.

"Hey, there people! Are you all right!"

I raised my voice.

The person who's been turning his back on us looks back. She was a young woman with long hair. That face just makes us look at each other.

... I don't know if I can do it.

We're running on the water...

"Never mind! It's okay, I'll help!

Contrary to my voice, the woman screamed out loud.

"Don't come!

Huh...?

It's not a very good situation to tell you not to come.

Me and Laura look at each other.

"... for now... help..."

There may be some kind of translation, but we can't abandon it.

We got to the boat.

In the boat is filled with rain that keeps falling. The woman had plenty of water under her knees.

But more than that, it was her legs that surprised me. A small iron sphere is chained so that the woman's right leg cannot escape.

I'm breathtaking.

"Ko, this is...!

Shaking her wet hair in the rain, the woman screamed.

"Don't worry about me! Stay out of my way!

"... why are you doing this...?

"It's none of your business! Go somewhere!

... I'd like to know what's going on...

Apparently, the woman seemed excited and not in a situation where she could talk. Besides, if it stays this way, the woman will definitely sink into the ship.

"Laura."

"... let's help!

I guess that's right.

Don't leave me dying in front of you in the first place.

I offered my right hand.

"Magic Arrow"

A white flash ran and smashed the iron ball that was tied to the woman's leg.

"Sorry."

I reach out to hold the woman back. The woman let her hands and legs splash and said, "Stop! Stop!" he exclaims.

... If I stay like this, I'll be dead for sure...

At that time...

"Sleep!"

Laura activated the magic of sleep.

Immediately afterwards, the woman's body flutters to the left and right. My eyes grew loose and my body eventually lost its strength.

"... sorry..."

Laura apologizes to the fallen young woman.

"I don't have a choice. We need to help them out first."

When I held the woman up, I went straight back to the shore.

The rain still doesn't stop falling.

Leaning into the proper shade, we laid down the woman we had. Young - maybe a little older than Laura? He is wearing white clothes that cover his body perfectly.

The woman slept quietly with Su-su.

Now that the situation has settled, I turn my attention to Laura.

"Laura."

"Yes."

Nodding, Laura shook the woman's shoulder softly. The woman's eyes open slowly.

And...

"Uh... me..."

Women wake up slowly. Look at the lake, look at us.

And then it got hard.

"... Ah, you, you... you helped me...?

The voice was not a joy.

What was in that voice was agitation and amazement.

"... though? Is there a problem, too?

"... for God's sake... I was so ready to die..."

The woman turned to the lake.

"We can still make it......!

When I say that, a woman runs out. I grabbed the woman's arm in a hurry.

"What are you talking about!? What the fuck is this about?!?

This is what the woman said when she pointed her gaunting eyes at me.

"I'm going to beat the Nine-headed Dragon! If I don't die, the village will be in trouble!
