"Oh, you're such a hippo."

Knights' Horizon Branch rooms.

Tania, who is under house arrest there, shut the book she was reading all over and placed it on the table.

To kill time, though I've tried to read the right book, there's nothing like touching a harp line.

Instead, my eyes got tired of massive typography.

Lean on the back of the couch and blur.

"... how long do I have to stand still on this?

Until tomorrow?

Or until the day after tomorrow?

Or until next week?

I don't know when the case will be solved.

I feel like I've been thrown into a maze with no exit.

It makes me nervous...

But I wasn't anxious about Tania.

"Hurry up, don't you, Rain? You're gonna get mad too late, aren't you?

Tania was alone, crushed.

The voice had a color of trust in Rayne.

What if Rayne fails?

I don't think about that at all.

If Rayne does, he'll work it out.

I had that absolute trust.

"... that?

Second, Tania noticed the emotions she put on her mouth.

Rayne would do something about it.

My people can do something about it.

I believed that unconditionally.

I wonder.

Previously... before I met the Rains, it was impossible.

The Dragons are the strongest and the ones at the top.

There's no way I can trust you about humans.

That's what I was supposed to think...

Soon, I was starting to believe in Rayne.

I was starting to cherish something called a buddy.

Tania herself, I don't know how or what triggered this change.

There's only one thing I can say...

"Ma... it's not a bad idea."

I have someone I can trust.

So this is how we can wait safely.

Tania grinned at her mouth and lay down on the couch.

Keep your eyes closed, trying to take a nap...

"... what is it? Shut up."

Somewhat noisy outside.

I heard screams and loud noises.

"You couldn't tell your parents to be quiet when people are asleep? It's insane."

Exactly, I can't even care about those who take a nap...

As she did not know that, Tania moved in front of the window in a grumpy manner.

When I open the window and look outside...

"Grrrrrrrr!!!

There was a dragon.

……

To a sight so unexpected, Tania, her thoughts cease for a moment.

"... Huh? What do you mean?"

Tania, who immediately returned to me, saw the sight of the dragon rampaging in front of her and turned into a questionable face.

Why is there a dragon here?

Could it be that I'm the example of a nicer thing?

If so, did Rayne fail?

Or went wrong?

Though I think about many things...

"Damn it no more... you can't take a nap if they make you so loud!

To the conclusion that it cannot be left alone, Tania tried to jump out the window...

"Tania!

Stella came in as the room door opened with momentum.

"Oh, what's wrong?

"Good... are you all right"

Stella gave a reassuring look.

Looks like he found out about the disturbance and showed Tania himself.

"It's dangerous to be here. Evacuate the basement... what are you gonna do with the window open?

"Hey, let me shut the fuck up about the guy who's rambling there,"

"Mm, don't be impotent!? They're dragons!?

"I'm a dragon too."

"Oh, yeah... but it's dangerous on its own, isn't it? This is all the fuss. I think the Rains will be back soon. Until then..."

"If you wait, the city will be destroyed."

"But... now Tania is under suspicion. If you're not quiet, you may feel even worse from the top. If I'm bad, this case, it could all be Tania's fault..."

"Thanks."

"What?"

"You're worried about me, aren't you? So, thanks."

While Stella was decent, Tania put her foot on the edge of the window.

"But after all, you're not going to be able to leave it like this. I'm getting easier with that... maybe it's because I was with Rain? When this happens, your body moves on its own."

"... man"

Stella smiled bitterly.

Understand that you can't stop Tania no matter what...

At the same time, I understood Tania's feelings.

Because.

Because Stella has the same feeling that she wants to jump out now to protect the city.

"Can you just give me a minute? We'll be out in a minute."

"Don't you have to keep me locked up?

"I have all the responsibility. So... I need your help."

"Huh, you know what I'm talking about. I don't hate that kind of thing."

Tania laughs.

Stella laughs, too, in response.

"But I'll go first. If we don't stop him soon, he's going to be devastated."

"Mmmm...... but"

"It's a waste of time to say this here. You know that, right?"

"... ok. I'm sorry, but please. We rush as soon as we're ready."

I'm counting on reinforcements.

Tania left that out and jumped out the window.

――――――――――

The people of the city were panicking at the presence of dragons that flew in from nowhere.

Screaming and running around.

By noon, it was disastrous to have a lot of people.

People trying to escape bump into each other and fall.

There's more people going in there...

The dragon looked down on such people somewhere enjoyable.

And then, in a nagging motion, he sweeps away the building.

Huge claw marks of dragons are engraved on the walls of the building.

Fragments splashed and people screamed even louder.

"Ya, hey..."

This confusion was causing a girl who was lost with her parents to go to the ground.

The dragon who found such a child... laughed.

I slowly walk over to the girl to show off my giant.

And slowly shake up your giant arms...

"Phew, zah, keh, nah!!!!"

"Guh!?

Shortly afterwards, something flew in with tremendous momentum from the side and slapped the dragon in the face.

The dragon giant sways and falls to the ground.

"You, WHERE!? It would be embarrassing to target a child as the same dragon clan. Shame on you!!!

Tania stepped down to the ground and glanced at the dragon with a sharp eye.
