We stand speechless in the presence of the evil dragon who descended in front of us.

It was unexpectedly me who regained my sanity the soonest of all.

"Tina, run -"

"I don't want to."

If I were on this spot, I would die for sure. So I tried to instruct Cortina to flee, but sooner than the word was over, she returned the word of refusal.

"I don't want to run away without you anymore."

"Cortina, please..."

"Because this is all I'll ever pull"

Cortina telling me resolutely, but her legs are trembling like a newborn deer.

Even she's not scared. Still, I can't let her resolve go, that she doesn't want to leave me and run away again.

If, here, you ignore her will and leave her, she will suffer a wound in her heart that she will never be able to rise again for the rest of her life.

"We're going to die. Sure."

"Above and beyond. Now it's time to die with you."

"... thank you very much."

As far as I'm concerned, I really want her to run. But her willingness to mask it and declare that she was with me was so delightful that I wept.

Put her down like that, how can we move on?

"Okay, come with me. First I'm gonna pull him away from the village."

"Okay...... Maria!

Maria, who was suddenly self-defeated, returns to sanity to Cortina's cry.

And at the same time, Kfar has raised his voice.

"Kuhahahahahaha! Evil Dragon, it's Korkis! It's them, they're the culprits, the biggest obstacle! Don't let him live, never let him get away with it! Completely, without skin, thoroughly... kill it! Burn it, rip it, crush it... eat it up!!

――――――――――――

To Kufal's insane words, Korkis raised a roar of joy.

For evil dragons summoned from different worlds and ruled by madmen, this world is to be destroyed. But destroying as you wish is inhibited by Kufal, the summoner.

He was ordered to destroy, albeit limited, in such circumstances, so there is no reason to rejoice.

A roar beyond a person's audible range shivers the surrounding atmosphere. If I'd listened to it for decades like this, my eardrum could have torn.

"Maria, fly us. The direction of the mountain!

Cortina fingers the other as she screams with all her might to keep that roar unbeaten.

That's the mountain that Ryells encountered with the demon gods.

"So, but..."

"We're the ones being targeted. If we keep fighting here, the village will be involved. The village has Fina, right?

"That's a bad idea."

If they take Fina hostage, Maria has no choice.

In the next moment, me and Cortina were in a meadow about two kilometers from the village.

This could lose sight of us if we suddenly fly to the mountains.

As far as I can see there, they must have pulled us out of the village.

"Okay. Then Reid, we're going all the way over that mountain!

"What? Beyond the mountain?

"If you put it in the shadows of the mountains, there will be no damage to the village."

I'm convinced it will be.

You can't escape the offensive range of evil dragons with braces just because you're away.

Then we really need to prepare a robust obstacle between the battle area and the village. Beyond the mountain, the conditions can be met.

The magic transfer range of the metastasis (teleport) is where you have been once or visibly.

The decision to jump just a few kilometers away would be to see it from the evil dragon if it was within sight of Maria.

Cortina prompted us to start running at full capacity.

"Lady Reid!

I think I heard Finia's sad voice behind her back, but I can't afford to look back at it.

For evil dragons, the advantage of two kilometers is limitless.

Though small, across the mountain, I still had to run a few kilometers.

Originally lacking in strength, I pull out my entire body, use the force of yarn to manipulate my hands and feet, and start moving.

After us like that, Kufal and Korkis were starting to move, too.

"You're cheating on that."

"You don't have a choice because you don't have the strength. That's cheating better than that."

Cortina, who, like me, suffers from health problems, assists and travels with the magic of a cargo carrier (cargo).

That speed is pretty fast and shouldn't even take a pull on the horse's full walk.

Of course you can't move at that speed and not strain Cortina.

Perhaps by the time we get to our destination, she should be out of use.

In the first place, her main field is not combat technology.

If it's being targeted as bait, use it to move the battlefield. From there on out, it was my job.

"Leave me!

It was Gaddles who said that and chased us behind at a tremendous rate.

Though we're the only ones being targeted, I'm comfortable with him following us. But that means he will also be in danger of death.

"Okay, if we keep this up, we're gonna die together?

"Idiot, can we abandon you now!

"Gaddles -"

I was overwhelmed and almost burst into tears. I feel my tear glands have weakened since I was reborn.

Anyway...

"What about Lyell and Maria?

"The two have an idea and remain in the village. There were quite a few injured people in the village."

"Right."

When I drew Kufal into the village, a large number of injured people were already out there. Given that, Maria can't leave the village.

Lyell would be worried about Fina, and convinced to stay in the village.

Unlike us, those two have families, so I don't want them to die. No, I'm family, too.

He continued to run away with such a slightly fluent conversation and managed to get around across the mountain.

Hiding in the mountains and not seeing the pioneering villages here would require less damage.

"Did you think you could get away with it, Leidwo!

Kufal and the evil dragon chased us down to the meadow across the mountain, where we were taking a breath.

Cortina is unlikely to be able to travel because her body has already reached more limits.

"Gaddles, Cortina, please"

"Reid, what are you gonna do?

"Well, I'll do something about it."

There are no shards of winning. On the contrary, I don't even know how long I can keep fighting.

Still, just because she's behind it, I can work beyond the limits. There was that certainty.

"Come on, that's it for the mess. Shall we settle?"

With an invincible grin, I took a step toward the Evil Dragon.
