Since then we have finished a soothing (waffling) dinner listening to Lil 'Lu's black history.

And then the dissolution means we return to the inn after dropping off a blankly burnt lil 'l 'l.

By the way, the hot water swallows that Mr. Nelvia broke and the tables that Reggie scratched were forgiven if I apologized to the clerk. For once, the scratches on the table were made invisible by using magic, scraping the surface thinly and evenly (then)...

Please give me a break with this, as I will help you exorcise the dragons in this country.

and that's why we're now back to the inn we're renting.

I asked if Lurora and I would spend the night together in Lilu, but Lilu refused categorically, so we're still in a friendly five-person room today.

Well, LeLaura had something I wanted to ask you tonight, so it's convenient.

Now as I was thinking about which story to start, Mr. Nelvia, holding me on the bed, opened his mouth with a slightly unfloating face.

"Dear Sephi... That woman named Lil 'l, she fell in or hurt Master Sephi, didn't she?

'Oh, yeah. You've done a lot of harm. "

"And yet you cooperate with that woman?... Oh, no, I'm not disputing Master Sefi's decision...!

'Yeah, you don't have to worry about it. I can't help but think so.'

I smiled at Nelvia.

'But, hey, honey. I'm not working with Lil 'l, am I?

"Huh?"

"I'm working with my sister, Luola.... and if you leave this one alone, a lot of people could die. '

The truth is, I have a desire to prioritize the safety of our kids, like I did when I was in the torretto. Honestly, this one doesn't really concern me, does it?

But if you let the dragon go wild, you might start attacking the Empire sooner or later. Then one day, we won't even be able to think about putting our village in danger.

That would be best if I were in perfect condition...... if the brave men, lils, and Republican soldiers were tragically slaughtered while I was going to the capital of the Republic to remove my collar, it might then develop into further massive damage on a scale.

If that happens, I'm sure the gentle Mr Nelvia will continue to regret not moving here for a long time to come. Besides, Kaylis must be terribly saddened, and most importantly, the heartbreak that LeLaura receives will be immeasurable.

Dragons are dangerous, indeed. It is true that we want to avoid fighting with our current power if we can.

This time, however, unlike one of the Toretto cases, some advantages are that you get enemy information in advance to some extent.

Still, I can never be optimistic...... but it is my view that if we all work together, we are not unbeatable opponents.

… Then I finally decided to ask what I was a little concerned about Lil 'behavior.

'Hey, Lurora. Does Lil' Curse 'mean it takes time or risks to activate?

"Huh? - Looks like you have to touch them directly to activate it. And it looks like it's gonna drain a lot of magic just to activate once."

Really... I see, so was that the reason?

Kaylis has reluctantly pinched his mouth when I am convinced by myself as I lay my eyes down.

"Maybe you were wondering that Mr. Lil used a“ collar ”instead of a“ curse ”?

The other three voiced "ah" to Kayliss's words.

'Yeah, it is. It's the ability to seal the magic like you did to Le Laura, but I was wondering why you bothered to use the collar you stole from the Republic on me.'

To the question I raised, Mr. Nervia nodded loudly and said, "I see, that's true," which made him look like an idea. If this is the case, I should have asked you before I broke up with Lil 'Lu earlier.

In Mr Nervia's arms to think about, I will mention one more thing that concerns me.

'Besides, you don't even know why you looked at me. He's not a magician, he just attacked me as a magician. "

My question was answered by Lurola, who lay in bed with a shrunken body about two or three years old due to the use of her abilities.

"That's harassment of Lulu."

"Harassment?"

"Lulu liked Yusha-sama, so Lilu went after Yusha-sama."

Did Mr. Lulu like me? No, I don't think so...

But at least from Lil 'l's point of view, I guess that means it looked that way.

But “harassment"...?

"Lil 'Lulu has always loved Lulu. When I was in there, I was with you anytime, anywhere. So after I got out of there, I thought I'd harass Lulu, who turned back on the people."

Oh, for such a childlike reason......!?

Yeah, but in fact, Lil 'l could have been childish...

So you tried to plunge me as a vengeance for being betrayed by Mr. Lulu, who was your only ally?

"And it wasn't a curse, it was a collar, but it was one of the reasons I was worried that Yusha's inexperienceable powers would make sense."

'... one of the reasons? Is there any other reason?

"Remember when Lil said earlier that the curse couldn't be lifted?

This is the information Lille confessed during an earlier dinner.

Lille herself can't lift the activated curse once. I also asked him if he could multiply the curse of the opposite effect and neutralize it, but he didn't know because he had never tried it.

"If you can't lift the curse yourself, what will the cursed opponent do with Lil 'l...... That's another reason."

"... I see"

Generally, it is confirmed that the magic activated by most magicians is released if they sleep or are deprived of consciousness.

If so, sleep or take away your consciousness will not release you, but if you really want to, what will you do next…, the end of it is easy to imagine.

What if the curse worked on me, but for some reason it didn't work fully or I got away with it...... Lil 'l will continue to be scared behind his back for the rest of his life afterwards.

Well, then if you use a republican collar, we will go for republic as long as we look for lil 'l.

Let's just say it's a reasonably reasonable choice in the sense of preservation.

However, then how much harm will you surely make enemies at the stage where you have done me harm?

And what was Lille trying to do after she caught me, raiding me until she took that risk?

The answer is simple.

"I didn't think of anything in particular."

LeLaura looks up to us with a reluctant up-and-coming gesture that doesn't make her feel her usual My Pace when she wakes up from a body she was sleeping with.

"... when this case is over, I'll leave Lil 'l's figure with the Imperial City. So I make him pay for what he did. So, please... help me."

I looked back at Mr. Nervia when I saw Lurola bow her head when she said that in a vanishing voice.

'Cause, hey. What do we do?'

"Yes! Eh, if that's the case..."

Mr. Nelvia shyly leaned over and smiled at Lurola.

When he finally glances at Reggie's expression sitting next to us, he nods small, too. Seems to have no particular objection.

And when I looked at Kayliss, he turned his cool eyes to Lurora,

"That's fine, of course, but can you tell me how the dragon raid and the brave man's birth were?

To Kayliss-kun's words, LeLaura nodded as she held her favorite cushion.
