"Nine-headed dragon?

I twisted my neck.

"What's that?

"A dragon sealed in this lake for a long time."

I saw the lake.

Sure... it's a pretty big lake, so there seems to be about a dragon.

"But it's sealed, isn't it? What do you need from him?

"Sorry, I didn't get enough words."

After I cut the story, the woman goes on to say the words.

"The seal that seals the Nine-headed Dragon - we need the lives of young women to maintain it - every two years."

"... that's a terrible story..."

I shouldn't have - I didn't know we had that story.

"But are you really there, with that nine-headed dragon? It's just an old heirloom or something, isn't there really something like that?

Because if you should, it's a waste in itself.

The woman shook her head.

"That's not true. This rain has been falling here for almost another month. This is because the power of the Nine-headed Dragon is leaking."

"... isn't it just long rain?

"No, you're not."

That's what the woman said, pointing to the sky in the middle of the lake.

"That's what caused this rain - that's what the villagers said."

Indeed, there was an unusual 'something'.

I'm not sure what it is because it's on the other side of the cloud - there's a big, round shadow floating around.

I've never seen anything like it.

The woman kept talking.

"If it keeps raining like this, the village won't be able to live. The only way to stop the rain was for some young woman to get away with it..."

At the end of the day he sounded very sad.

"That's how this village has survived for hundreds of years"

"Right..."

It was a hard story just listening.

I can't believe that was left out.

I looked up into the sky.

"I hope it stops raining."

"I won't. As long as that's in the sky. And if a woman is offered, the rain will stop - that's what the village says."

"Right. That one."

I saw a round shadow floating in the sky.

"Laura. How far would that be?

"Right...... I think they taught me that the raincloud height is 500 meters or a kilometer or something"

"You're surprisingly close."

"What do you do?

"Try shooting with a magic arrow"

"Huh!? You're so far away!?

"You forgot, Laura. The range of my magic arrow..."

I held my right hand against the clouds.

"Thirteen kilometers."

And say the words that trigger it.

"Magic Arrow"

A white arrow released from my hand rushes into a black cloud.

A magic arrow pierced the shadow behind the clouds.

Oh, shit!

A loud noise echoes in the sky.

Then the flash spread into the sky as if something had burst. I accidentally cover my face with my arms on that eyelid.

After the light subsided...

I raised my face, and it spread to my eyes.

It was a blue sky to fall out of.

"Uh... oh, no..."

I see the sky with the way a woman can't believe it.

"Wow, wow! Wow! Mr. Alberto! I can't believe I did something about that rain cloud!

Laura was happy to jump to pieces.

"It stopped raining... but now you don't have to?

"Ha, ha, ha..."

When the woman dropped her hips, she laid her arms on the ground as if her whole body had lost its strength.

"And you don't have to die - I... you don't have to die..."

Tears flooded the woman's eyes. It conveys its cheeks and spills to the ground with a bump.

"You don't have to die. Awwwwwwwwwww!

A woman freed from fear shouted out loud.

For the sake of the village, I had no choice - I desperately pushed in the fear of death and decided to give up my life -

Such a joyous tear of her own raw.

I didn't want to forget about this day.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Me and Laura headed to the village with the woman.

Even though it stopped raining, the lady came back - there would just be someone to explain.

When we reached the village, the villagers appeared outside looking up at the sudden clear sky.

Such villagers look at us for a moment.

Those eyes are Gentiles, not me or Laura.

It was directed at a woman who was supposed to be walking with me.

"Uh, duh, why..."

"... the rain should have stopped...?

The villagers see the woman with an incredible face.

We stopped.

The woman moves forward with a strange face.

"Guys, listen up! I don't need it anymore!

"What do you mean!

The villagers say in an angry tone.

The woman said back unbeaten.

"This man's man destroyed the rain clouds for me! So I am alive, and it no longer rains!

The sights of the villagers gather on me at best.

... Do I have to say something?

"My name is Alberto! I did destroy the rain clouds! She's right! So I hope you don't blame her!

The villagers looked at each other with bewildered faces.

How should I react? Looks like we're asking each other for answers.

At that time...

"Then no!

A thunderous voice echoed through the village.

The villagers tremble and face the direction of their voices.

"Mayor Omura...!

There stood a small old man with a white beard with a deep crease engraved on his face.

"Rain clouds, etc., are just a precursor! The essence is that the seal of the Nine-headed Dragon is about to be unsealed! If the Nine-headed Dragon wakes up, it's not in this village - the land itself will perish! Give it to me! I can't bend that!
