Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

Slowly, but surely footsteps are approaching. Hikaru felt the immense presence moving down the trees. It was out of the scope of "detection" but enough to know without it.

(That was sooner than I thought)

Hikaru touches his body to see how he is doing. Stretch your wrists and feet gently.

Sleep time I can't say enough. But I can move enough.

Drink a small amount of water from the water bottle and Hikaru moves out.

(Check far-sighted first)

From the slices of the trees, you can see the smoke rising above. The bird escapes.

The deer ran by Hikaru at an amazing speed.

(... alle, huh? Seriously)

There was a head that was sneaking out on the tree.

Head —— can I say that?

It's about the size of a bus with just its head.

Colourful and oddly glossy, brown. The surface was covered with translucent scales and blood vessels were visible passing under the scales.

The shape of your face is a snake.

My eyes are white and cloudy, but I can see them moving slightly. I don't really know where I'm looking because I don't see any black eyes.

When I opened my mouth, my tongue split into three pieces glanced at me -- and I thought, each of the three tongues flies in a discretionary direction, wrapping the bird, the boar, and the monkey.

Oh, and the animal was swallowed up shortly after.

"… Food Wannebanaranu" O Portet Manducare "…"

A dragon -- talked.

That is not the language currently used on this continent. It's an ancient language —— an ancient spiritual language, as it appears in ancient documents.

It was this ancient Spirit word that Roland, who gave Hikaru his flesh, was listening to when he studied the art of crossing the world. Hikaru just happened to understand, too.

("You have to eat"? What are you talking about? I mean, can you talk?

As the dragon approached, its entirety became apparent.

The neck is slightly longer and the torso is shaped like sweet potatoes.

There were four left and four right legs growing on the ear belly, and they were moving to drag the belly.

My tail is long anyway. It is uninterrupted within sight of Hikaru.

More than 50 meters long at the head torso is spare —— literally, it was a monster.

(... what is that)

The lower part of the belly had a white color, but was it elastic there, the spill and something protruding from inside.

I didn't know what that was, but —— when I saw a place, I understood.

It swept into human form.

That is, the stomach. What the dragon swallowed is pungent and fuzzy in his belly.

…………

Even Hikaru, who had been able to tolerate grotesque things, such as the dismantling of animals, did this quite well (...).

I made a tannic surface and swallowed the tsuba.

"… Food Wannebanaranu" O Portet Manducare "…"

It was unusual.

The body of a dragon that is so fuzzy that there are problems with the passage of the body.

Nonetheless, the dragon is still trying to eat.

(Is someone manipulating you?... No, are you scared of something (...)?

From time to time, the dragon had his head rounded to be vigilant around him.

Besides,

"... madinai (non tamen)..."

You leak such a twinkle.

(Is there anything that threatens to exist like this?

Hikaru spins his thoughts.

(Organisms behave in a predatory manner because they consume energy. But this dragon is overeating. By eating too much...... what happens?

It was then.

The dragon's body trembles when it hits.

Paki......... Paki Paki...................

My back, it broke.

From there the tentacles began to grow hundreds —— thousands.

It's thick enough to grip with both hands, but no matter what, it's long, with one bottle ranging from about 5 to 10 meters.

"... well," growth ""

I bluffed and crushed that awareness.

The dragon is preying on it to "grow" —— it sticks when you think about it that way.

A dragon frightened by "someone" wants to "grow" to "transcend" that "someone". And I went into "predatory behavior" --.

"But it's annoying."

Hikaru held the revolver that was hanging on his hips.

"I don't know what you're scared of -- I'll have you stop here"

Borderzad's Adventurer Guild was boiling down to joy.

We are pushing back most of the monsters and now to the extent that a small amount of monsters can be confirmed. I'm rotating and spinning a crusade team.

Winning is certain —— that's what we all thought.

The crusade headquarters was the same again.

Until yesterday, the grief and impersonation of the responsibility of defeat have gone nowhere, with the Director General and the Guildmaster of Borderzad bickering.

"Ha ha. Again, the crusade team did a good job! (Remember, you didn't cooperate, right?

"The Adventurer is what the Border Zard needs to defend itself (if you were trembling without directing or taking command on the front line, I'll report back to you)"

"This would also allow us to stop countries' requests for support immediately. Let's get back to you that the Crusade Headquarters has helped us defeat the monsters."

"Yeah, let's make this a safe celebration of the founding of the United Nations, so everyone in the coalition government will be happy. Residents who were evacuated will also be called back as soon as possible to report a successful stop to eating in Borderzad."

"At the crusade headquarters."

"Border Zard Wall,"

…………

…………

"Ha ha"

"Heh heh heh"

The other guild officials were trembling at the interaction between those who did not know what they were thinking in their bellies.

In the meantime, Alliance officials in charge of the scouting team jumped in.

"And I got a report from a research team that went to check on the forest. Looks like a giant dragon is on its way to this city. Left me saying 'retreat now' and I fainted too much of my fatigue and shock..."

Shin, and the inside of HQ quieted down.

We all realized that was the real threat.

The reconnaissance team discovered the dragon or quickly turned around.

In conclusion, the decision was correct.

Because the dragon's tongue movement was agile and even the animals on the ground were easily creeping up and eating. I would have been eaten by a dragon if I had been trying to confirm closer, not even bringing in "dragon approaching" information.

"All right, all right. You're right to go home ~"

I hide purple hair in a hood.

He covers his arms and legs with a cloth of material like spats.

It is Sarah, the "Oriental Four Star", who wears light and durable demonic clothing from above.

She wasn't on the scouting team, but she was in the woods to see how she was doing as one of the "Oriental Four Stars".

Because I'm used to reconnaissance missions, and because I'm skilled in moving the woods, I'm fast. Even with the same covert type, that was something completely different from Hikaru.

It came from the unknown to the point where it exited Borderzad and the dragon could be seen.

"The color and overall shape of Earth Dragon..."

Then check the dragon from the top of the climbed tree. The distance to the dragon is about 200 meters. She also has "covert" abilities, plus she takes enough safety margins.

From her point of view, I can confirm a dragon with his neck out on the tree. From the gap between the trees, the torso can also be seen somewhat.

"But... the Earth Dragon should have been smarter, though. My legs weren't that grown, and I never had tentacles."

Sarah has only seen the Earth Dragon once in the past.

Dungeons I just checked deep and far-sighted, but I can't forget the sloppy figure, the plush body surface, and the huge body.

It remained the imaginary image of the so-called "dragon walking on the ground".

At that time, the "Oriental Four Stars" were also exhausted in their quest for dungeons, and there could be no option of challenging the battle.

"Should this be seen as a ground dragon subspecies? Mostly, I'm diving under the earth, so I'm a 'dragon of the earth' wacko. The movement is blunt, so a magic streak from a distance would seem to hold you back...? Yesterday, I wonder if I could have had that kid who was magically letting go of that big fire.... Uh, but Celica said so. 'I looked for him, but he's nowhere!'"

It was when I was thinking about that with a bump.

"--Who!?"

Around, there's no sign of humans.

But Sarah...

(There is someone. Someone is trying to fight a dragon!!)

That's how "intuitive" I was.

Sarah has 5 "intuitions" on her soul board. The number of 5 I got by my own growth is quite large. Sarah had picked up her life many times before by this "intuition".

"It's impotent! You can't win! We need to lay the defensive line tight and tap the magic out of it --"

It was when Sarah thought so.

She will see the "battle" against the dragon —— and then the "battle" where whoever she talks to will only receive it in half.
