"Hey? Isn't this a little weird?

"Hmm, it's strange that there are so many demons in this forest"

"It's a forest where demons come out, right? What's so wrong with you?"

To Helmi's doubts, I whine in my heart to do it. Indeed, I confirmed last week that there will be a wide variety of demons in the College Forest. But I never encountered so many demons at that time, and I never felt so bloodthirsty attacking.

It's Gloru I've often met in The Abyss Forest that's hitting me now, but it's about a turn smaller than what was in the dungeon. I'm not weak because I'm small, but I'm not strong enough to struggle. Still, if it's the fifth raid in the last hour, it won't make your health drain stupid, and you can't help but make it easy.

"It's often misunderstood, but outside the dungeon, demons are cowardly creatures. It's weird how many of them attack us like this."

"To supplement what Urania says, the territory also fits the demons, and that is respectful because even the same species. No, it is homogeneous. So I rarely get attacked by other demons in the place where they were attacked once or right on their side."

"So it wasn't the same herd?

"Then it would be too unnatural not to have attacked me at once."

The demons outside the dungeon have a pretty strong sense of territory. It is said to happen because the magic vegetables are not as thick as in the dungeon. If such demons came out of their own territory and vandalized the territory of other demons, there must be a reason for that.

"Urania, do you have any idea what the possible cause is?

"There are two likely. The more powerful individuals took the territory, the more the territory became uninhabitable."

Either way, it is conceivable that he can no longer stay in the habitats he had originally made territorial for any reason. Squad C has Lily on it, and the place to stroll is a shallower area of the woods, so I don't think it's a problem, but Squad B still has a little silly anxiety.

"So, what do you do?

"No problem for us. Go ahead and see how threatened you are."

"Right, back off here, it's a little cool, isn't it?"

"That's it! If something's going on, we can fix it!

Helmi says things are going well, but if you mean something's going on in this forest, it's definitely going to get in Lily's way. Solve that and Lily will be able to do what she wants without any worries. It is my job as a lover to support Lily.

Keep going deep into the woods with everyone else. The demons strike at a rate of every 10 minutes, so I'm just a little out of breath, but there's so many of them that I can unlock not only magic but also attacks with a knife before being able to exorcise the demons crisply.

"I've come a long way back……………………"

"Shit, there's something here."

"……… You know what I mean?

"... a smell I've never smelled. But... it looks like a shirt dragon..."

"Dragon!?

Coming pretty deep into the woods, the smell changed. It's a smell I've never smelled in a dungeon or forest before. Strongly speaking, they resemble the Shirth Dragons who traveled together from the city of Sequitug to the king's capital, but they smell bigger creatures than that.

Lurk your breath and travel slowly. In case you run into a real dragon, you can't be as hostile as we are. Why is there such a shadow of existence as a dragon in this place? It's something that's not supposed to be in a forest like this.

"…… there, can you see anything?

"Eggs...... is it?

As soon as I continued my stroll, I was able to discover the cause. Large white chunks placed as if they were hidden in a jar. I've never seen the actual thing, but it's almost certainly the size and shape as I was hearing about the book and Motoshi's guild master.

"This is the cause"

"Are you... a dragon egg?

"Maybe, yeah."

Usually speaking of dragon eggs, they rest in a special place called the Dragon's Nest. The dragon is not a demon, but a highly intelligent warcraft that rears children in a herd of about 7-15 heads. Some of them are called egg numbers, which should keep dragon eggs from being stolen or eaten by other organisms in case.

And yet it's obviously strange that there are dragon eggs here. I don't think it's too suspicious that you feel something manipulative.

"That's not good. You'd better leave this place immediately..."

"……… It's too late."

"What do you mean..."

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

The dragon will find you where you are with the dragon egg. Without a doubt, those dragons think of us as egg thieves. Intelligent dragons may be able to solve misunderstandings, but the blood-running eyes have gone mad and are nowhere near solving misunderstandings.

"Spread out! I'll be the one! Tebby, get help!

"Wow, okay!

I carry a handful of eggs and wrap the magic of "Wind" around my feet. The dragon giant shouldn't be able to move quickly through these woods. I just pulled it away from everyone like this, you just have to put the eggs down and run away. That's how you can rendezvous with Lily before you decide on a policy ahead of you.

"" Bind ""

That's what I thought. I heard a man in my ear. Why? The moment I think about it, something wraps around my legs, and I fall off with a lot of momentum.

"Urania!"

"Career! Damn!!"

I can hear Tebby and Sola screaming from afar. That distance should get you away enough. I see a dragon's big jaw in front of me. There won't be any braces because I'm carrying an egg, but if they bite me with those fangs, there won't be a single me.

Oh, that's it? You missed Lily one last time...... My nose, trying to meditate my eyes by accident, feels the smell I'm used to smelling. Oh, thank God. Unexpectedly I smile.

"" Wall! "

Familiar voice, familiar smell, familiar appearance. My lover, coming down from the sky, looked like an angel.
