Without anger that Atal was laughing, Aolong was waiting for me in discipline.
'... have you calmed down?
"Oh, I'm sorry. Where I was, it was a little funny. It made me laugh."
Atal forcibly returns a laugh and makes an apology pretending to be calm.
"Hmm, don't worry, I'm not going to belly you about that extent - so, you want to do it?
Atal's burst of laughter had apparently made the pressing atmosphere disappear somewhere earlier.
But Qinglong asked as he stared at him in a cold tone.
"Uh, I guess I'd like to talk a little bit if I could. I wouldn't mind that if I were to fight as a result, but I'd like to talk about that part of what I'm going to fight with. And of course, I want you to know why we fought Xuanbu."
There was something Atal wanted to tell Aolong about why he defeated Aolong's people, why he came here, why he decided to fight Aolong - because he was an intelligent opponent.
'... that would be good too. I was cut off from the front desk by an earlier interaction. Talk to me.'
When he takes a breath, Aoyagi puts his body down and listens.
Caro, Balkias and Ifria are finally relieved here and exhale small.
In front of such a mighty enemy, it was such a situation that when Atal started to burst into laughter, all three of them would think their hearts would stop.
Why is our master laughing so hard in front of Blue Dragon?
Aren't you going to do that and buy me anger?
Isn't it unfavourable that you can do everything you can from the beginning without knowing how to get out?
Because I was thinking about it, the current situation collapses the three of us nagging.
"Hmm, what's wrong?
Ataru, who doesn't know how that feels, tilts his neck strangely, but the three keep him just shaking his neck sideways.
"Well, let's talk about it quickly."
"Uhm, then you seem to have a say, and I'll hear from you."
Qinglong began to listen quietly as he urged the story.
"Well, let's start with the one we were supposed to fight against Xuanbu and talk about the upside."
Atal starts the conversation by receiving a request in the Elf country.
That Xuanbu was thought to be Kimaira, in fact Xuanbu, and that Atal was the only one who knew its name.
That in the place where Atar was, he knew his name because the Four Gods thing was told as a story.
'Hmm, you mean the one didn't have reason... he was probably in a place where the magic vegetables were too thin. Still, it's hard to believe he took the nuke by knocking him down.'
"Well, let me ask you a question first, as long as I check that later"
Blue Dragon drops a little shadow thinking about Xuanbu, who did so unexpectedly.
But I thought if I ended the conversation like this, I'd be back in the instant fight. Atal pulls back into the conversation by asking questions.
'Hmm, I don't care if you have as much time as you want. Say it.'
"What kind of a four-god is that in the first place? Obviously not like a normal demon, is it? And why are you talking about this on the assumption that you're going to fight us?
Blue Dragon often thinks into Atal's questions.
"... maybe you can only say that the Four Gods are the Four Gods no matter what they ask you about because they are made beings?
It is only natural that we do not know why we were created. Nothing can be answered when asked why humans were born in the first place either.
'No, I know that. Our four bodies were ordinary gods in the first place. God in this world and the way he thinks, he is a divorced God.... from the god of this world I guess we are fallen gods'
Blue Dragon speaks quietly in a heavy tone. It even sounded like we hated ourselves somewhere.
Fallen God - when I hear that, I get the impression that it's a bad God.
But the blue dragon Atal is talking about is a God who is rational, intelligent, and capable of dialogue.
Whatever their position, I didn't think it was a bad god.
I am therefore concerned about the answer to another question.
"I see... then I'll ask you one more question. Why are you assuming you're fighting us?
'... I am the patron saint of this place. Do you want the treasure you have here? If so, we need to fight to protect this place - this is inevitable'
Fight to protect your treasure. This is inevitable because it is normal - that is what Aoyagi claims.
"No, I don't need any treasure. It's unusual, and I got my hands on this story because I didn't think there was a blue dragon, but if you're protecting it, I wouldn't bother to do anything hostile.... what?
Right, so when Atal asked the three Caros, they all nodded naturally.
"Then you have no more reason to antagonize us, do you? I just came because I thought there was something here, and I want you to rest assured that I'll seal it so I can't let you in again"
'- No!
Atar's suggestion was a useful one if we thought we would have to fight for nothing.
But Aolong denies the proposal in strong terms.
"... why?
Natural question. As far as asking why earlier, I can see it's not Xuanbu's enemy.
Not as belligerent as wasting battle with the Atals. Still as he explored the sincerity of the blue dragon, Atal looked into his opponent's eyes.
- Well, let's tell the truth.
Boy, the exhaled Blue Dragon starts telling Ataru, who stares straight at himself, why in concept.
'Talk to me. Okay. You are not bad people. And fighting Xuanbu is also through. Of course, I don't feel like making enemies or anything. But we must fight'
Atal waits silently for the reason.
"We are a fallen god. No matter how rational it may be. And the god that we fought against is the god that sets you all together. We cannot forgive that. You will belong to the enemy."
"No, we..."
That's what Caro says with his crying face.
'Yes, you don't have that consciousness. And I thought I'd talk to you here, that you're not the bad guys. But it was engraved in my soul from the moment I became a fallen God - that everything on that God's side was an enemy!
When I get here, I notice that the tone of the blue dragon, which should have calmed down until earlier, is gradually roughened and the colour of my tears and eyes is red.
"You said you defeated Xuanbu - don't insult my power, right? Call me as fast as you can!
When he could no longer contain himself any more, the expression of Blue Dragon, who was rational, was filled with hatred as if he had merely hostilized the Atals, and the roar that opened his mouth wide and unleashed it blew on the Atals like a shockwave.
- This is where the real battle begins.
