In the third floor, the walls between the rooms collapsed, and there were many places connected like a single room, and the outlook was good.

It may be the effect of the collapse, but it is easy to go in the direction where you can hear the sound, thank you. With that in mind, we ran three levels.

Dozens of seconds to rush towards the sound. I arrived just before the stairs connecting the third and second levels,

"What is that creature !?"

"It's like a dragon"

There was a dragon with scales like a tree.

He hits his head against various walls and swings his tail.

I wondered if it was the legacy of the Liza and the "bush dragon."

That time.

"... Chrono-san, people can fly!"

"What?"

The figure hit by the dragon's tail flew here.

I immediately caught the appearance of drawing a parabola and waving. After all, it was very familiar to me.

"... Lisa, are you okay?"

It was Liza that was blown away. She spills a lot of blood from her forehead and nose, but laughs in response to my voice.

"Oh, Chrono. There's Sofia-chan too .... It was safe.

"It's not the case of people worried. It's a serious injury."

The bleeding was terrible because he was bounced off by that big dragon.

It doesn't seem like you're touching it, but you've been severely bruised.

"Well, I couldn't do it.

"If you look at it, you know. What happened to others? There must have been a professor."

"It's a bit of a collapse and you're taking too much damage. I decided to go back to the castle and get cheering. Until then, it felt like we could endure."

The moment he said, "We," Lisa turned his gaze on a nearby wall.

Then, in the depression in the wall, there was Yukino who had left his body on the wall and was loose.

She is also bleeding from various parts of her body.

"... Did Yukino fight?"

"Yeah. Even though I'm a demon, I'm not a strong fighter. It's a little hard to hold up, so I had Salamad help me too."

“—I'm sorry. I got my physical strength halfway. Now I'm taking a break ...”

Yukino comes in from the middle of the conversation, but leaves her face and limbs hanging.

I noticed that my feet were cramping from outside.

"Salamado has a dominant contract from that dragon, so he has been sucking all his power. Since the professors are already going outside and calling for support, I think it will be a little more and it will be helpful ... "

Liza said, descending from my arm and turning to the dragon again.

"Lou-"

The dragon, with its tree-like skin, turned his eyes on hostility. No, in this case, is it better to look like a predator?

He reveals his tusks and licks his tongue.

"Yeah, I don't think I'll miss it, but the Chronos can run away. For now, I'll do a little more here."

Lisa says, wiping her face, but she's already wobbly.

But we smile at us.

"I'm the Demon King. It's my job to protect the students and the people in the castle. It's just before Chrono, Sofia and Salamad are watching, and I'll do my best. I'll do my best even if I die ..."

Looking at the back of Liza who said to start walking,

"-"

I stood beside her silently. And

"Eh ... why are you holding me, Chrono?"

"Stay still. You'll run out of blood."

She holds Liza's body and heads for Sofia.

"Sophia, I'll ask this person."

"Eh, yes."

"Why can I still fight if I can't do it?"

"I'm overkill, and if I die here, I'm too troubled."

The school is run by this person, and I don't know what the school will do if it goes away.

That's very annoying for me who come for a year of learning.

Besides me, my classmates and demons will be in trouble.

Speaking more, it is only this person and Professor Dante who know me and Sofia's enslavement.

It is too tasty to have no one to follow when enslavement cannot be lifted.

So, subjectively and objectively, we can't go away.

He passed Lisa's body shortly to Sofia, saying it was a rescue.

"I'm sorry.

"No, no, it's nothing like this-Chrono-san, there's a lot of chains coming out of my arm, what happened ...?"

Sofia stares at my arm with a surprise look.

I noticed and noticed that a chain of black light was erupting from my arm holding Liza.

"Oh, it's true. Why is it full?"

Unintended, the black light chain is increasing.

What is going on?

The answer to that question came from Lisa in Sofia's arm.

"Well, the power of dominance is amplified and manifested when the person's emotions are uplifting. It seems strange how the chrono increases ... Are you excited? "

Liza told me, I immediately nodded.

"Well, yes. I'm angry or angry."

"Oh, why are you angry ...?"

"Well, if you take care of the people who took care of this and that, I'll be excited too ... Yeah, normally, I'm quite angry."

If you make someone who has helped me somehow like this, I can't help but get angry.

Because of that, things that have kept calm from a while ago, hearts are aggressive.

That is why there is such a chain.

I turned to Sofia, thinking that it looked awkward because it looked jerky.

"Well ... so I'll go a little bit to cool down this anger. Sophia, take care of the two people who have fallen and protect me."

"Well, I was asked, but are you going to do that, are you going to challenge that !?"

"Yes, that's right, but is there any problem?"

In response, Sofia shook his head in a hurry.

"It's too problematic! It's unreasonable to challenge the dragon alone!"

"Ah ... don't worry about it. If you know a dragon in the countryside and your acquaintance is in danger, a young person like me was on a business trip as a hunting party."

"What……?"

Speaking of which, she had never talked about what I was doing in her hometown.

I don't have time to talk now so I'll postpone it.

Anyway, the location is different in Noyama and dungeon, but the same is done.

"It's a common thing in the countryside. Dragon hunting-you're used to pest control."

"Are you a pest ...?"

That's it. Now, all that is in front of me is just a vermin. With that in mind, there is only one thing left to do.

…… This is what I always did in the countryside.

I touch the corner on my head.

This is the only appearance of the demon, and it is also a reservoir of power,

"I have to use this for dragon opponents."

When I grabbed it, it shattered like sugar.

Although this is a characteristic common to demons, the power accumulated in the body can be exerted arbitrarily. It is no different for a demon.

The power stored in the corner spouts out like black smoke and clings to my body.

"Come on, let's get rid of it, Glad Lizard (a gluttonous dragon).-The power of a normal demon, eat as much as you want ...!"

And I start moving towards the dragon.

I was doing it in my hometown, as usual.
