Reincarnation Monarch
Episode One Thousand Six Hundred Seventy-Eight: Where the Dragon Goes
"... you can't see..."
Ilis stopped hollow again and looked around.
Astalot also stopped and looked around.
"... you're certainly not here... and the view doesn't seem to take its place"
"Oh, isn't that strange? I think I flew quite a distance..."
Astalot nodded.
"Right. Must have traveled quite a distance indeed. Sensibly, they should be in the middle of the continent."
"Don't you? Nonetheless, not one of the dragons comes out easily. You'd think it was crazy, wouldn't you?
Iris said with a much blurrier look on his face.
Astalot was also suspicious.
"It's strange indeed... then was the earlier alarm sound of hiding from us? ……
"Maybe. There's supposed to be dragons on this continent, right? How about one?"
"Right. Looks like you've been hidden."
To Astalot's conclusion, Iris frowned.
"So what do we do? I'm not going home to congratulate you like this."
"Neither do I. If we find Lucifer, what will happen to Gaius... we have to reach Lucifer at any rate."
"Oh. But I can't even get to the dragon before that. Now... I can't move."
Astalot put his right hand under his chin, closed his eyes and thought desperately.
And I wonder if it's been long enough for time, when Astalot finally looks up.
"If this is all you have to look around and see, the answer is one."
"Well, did you get the answer? Then say it."
Ilis said arrogantly.
But Astalot was completely indifferent to what Iris said.
"They dragons are in this scorching magma"
Iris was also greatly surprised by this.
He jumped up his eyebrows overall and looked down under his eyes.
"... in this? Are they lurking in here?
"I can't think of anything else. They are the inhabitants of this scorching continent in the first place. You must be used to the heat."
"No, but it would be a lot different up and down there"
"Yeah, but other than that, is there a reason they don't show up?
Iris glanced under his eyes again.
"Were you lurking in this magma stream and watching us..."
"Oh, that's why they discovered us first."
When Astalot said so, he nodded alone.
