"Really...... that's it?

"It's over."

"Nothing seems to have changed."

"It's over."

"For real?

'... could Hikaru not have faith in Oyla?

'Cause it just looks like a delicious, mysterious creature. "

Hikaru and the White Dragon —— Kou was talking about in the woods between Pound and Leather Elka.

I came to hear that there was a "dragon path" here —— the day after Hikaru undertook a special "nomination request".

The sun was about to set. Worst of all, he was also prepared to be camping in the woods, but decided that he would be safe because few vicious monsters could be seen around here.

There was a mountain in the middle of the woods. There's a cave -- there's a small hole to call it, and if you're a skilled hunter, it's a place where you're going to say, "That's a hole where bears hibernate" or something.

Kou ran out of words that this was the entrance to the dragon path. And chanted Munyamunya. So —— over. It's dark and invisible inside, but even if Hikaru runs "Life Detection" and "Magic Detection" nothing responds.

"Hikaru. Let's just go in"

"That's what's gonna happen..."

Once again, prompted by Lavia, who wrapped the koo around his neck, Hikaru takes the magic guide lamp machined into the shape of a flashlight. Behind the hole to the extent that it can pass if bent —— seems surprisingly deep.

"Lavia and Paula, don't go in there until I say I'm good."

"I don't trust you......"

Hikaru thinks it's quite busy for Kou to have a cheap face, but a rich expression on the dragon's leg.

It is inclined as soon as it enters. Hikaru moves inside with a slight slip of his leg. The width widened along the way, allowing me to stand and walk completely. The passage that just crept through the soil is windy —— it seems it leads somewhere.

"This wouldn't be a dungeon...?

I've doubted it, but a dungeon would have a life response. It doesn't take anything to detect Hikaru.

The road that was down was flattened.

…………

Second, I felt the air warm. The cold air in the winter has slightly loosened, but should I say?

Moving on, it will now slope upwards. The atmosphere of the soil seems to have changed slightly, but I am not an expert in the formation, so it is difficult to explain how it has changed.

"Hmm? Stairs?"

Stone staircase with good shaped stone. Though it is half broken.

And Hikaru -- he went inside the building.

It's a stone shrine. I don't know what god, but the stone statue is placed.

At the entrance of the temple were two open wooden doors, but decayed and one side fell. Get out of there --.

"... you're lying"

Hikaru flashed. You must have been in a pretty deep forest. And yet —— I was on a hill.

And under my eyes, the city was spreading. A city lined with houses made of stone, mainly sandstone, never seen before. Yes, it's a city somewhere resembling Einganstadt, a city where Hikaru was only to enter for a moment and free Kou.

Sometimes there was time until sunset - the position of the sun was slightly higher than earlier, as if it had been rewound - the inn could easily be taken. Since it was suspicious to ask at the station, I confirm it with the owner of the inn subtly. The city seemed to say "Nordenstadt," and was undoubtedly a multi-national Einvist country.

"-- Here, eat"

"Yahoo! Deep-fried bread covered in sugar! Ouilla, this is it. - Sookie!

I've bought a ton of fried bread in a paper bag, so I give it to Koo. Already Lavia and Paula are relaxing in the room, and Hikaru snarls as Paula makes her tea.

"So, Koo. What the hell is that?

'So - even the Dragon's Way. You explained it before.'

I was listening. But it is what makes me want to say that I see the real thing.

"If those corridors existed, there would be no point in border crossings."

'So, if you don't flush the Holy Demon, it won't activate. You can't go through with a normal person. "

Kou even says it as "obvious," so it was always (...) to confirm.

The dragon path means the "passage" used by the dragon when traveling on the ground -- a shortcut. There is a land in this world that has abundantly accumulated magic, connecting there and there. It is more accurate to say that it does not mean warping, but twisting and temporarily connecting spaces.

The Holy Demon is a power that is at the top of magic and can do more than it can with "magic" or "magic". Humans can't store this in their bodies, but they can use a catalyst to seal it in a magic guide —— though inefficient.

"So how many holy demons did Koo consume? Lavia's supplying the magic, isn't she?

Kou strives to recover his health by converting the surplus magic supplied by Lavia into the Holy Demon.

A sugar-covered bellypepper dragon answers around his mouth.

"Hmm, I used all the savings I made today"

"You can only use it once a day,"

"Well, if you get more magic, you can use it."

"Didn't I ever give you Lavia's full powers of magic?

"You don't. —— Want to try?

"Oh. Of course it doesn't have to be all of them, as far as I can"

"Okay. Koo, too, okay?

"Fine."

Lavia puts her hand on Kou and closes her eyes. Though Koo doesn't mind eating munchkin fried bread. Hikaru arms up and Paula looks at it with interest.

"-- I'm coming"

Bubba, and her hair looked upside down. At that moment, the more magic swells from her body surface. Oh —— it was when I met her, Hikaru recalls. That's the basement of Count Morgustadt's mansion, Magic Prison. To Hikaru, whom I first met, Lavia showed me her magic —— her own anomaly. I felt considerable magic when I looked over the magic cell, but when I saw it in front of me, it was different in force.

A mug with a snail and tea makes a noise on the table, and the windowsill cracks in perfectly.

"Fuh!?"

Koo, who was eating fried bread, opened his eyes,

'No, hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Much!

"Huh?"

Because Kou stopped, Lavia's magic shrinks all the time.

'Isn't that amazing! I didn't know there was that much!? Because human magic is tiny. Ouilla, I used to smoke quite a bit less —— was it good to smoke more?

"Shh, wow, Lavia... I thought it must be a great amount of magic because you can use all that magic..."

Paula is surprised, too.

Indeed, Lavia's "magic power" on the soul board is 11, so much so that no wizard there can stand a tooth at all. Hikaru has ever seen one glance at the smashing top. Celica had given a number like an asshole called "Magic Volume" 19, but Celica was consciously "leveling" so I'd say an exception. Even the same Eastern four-star Shufi was "Magic Power" 7.

…………

Said wow wow wow, Ravya stares at her palm. Hikaru gets worried about that appearance. For once, Lavia remembered where she was treated like a "horrible tool" --.

"... Hey, Hikaru"

"What's wrong?

"That's strange... I never thought I'd be happy to be told that I was amazing at my power"

Hikaru's worries seemed worrying.

"Oh, I'm proud of Lavia's magic, too."

"Thanks —— happy"

She smiled like a flower.

Then Kou said, 'I think I could do a lot more if I could get this much magic,' which seems to be a scratch again, but still fell asleep early, tired of paving the way for dragons. Unusual, leave more than half the fried bread.

Hikar then toured Nordenstadt and was able to afford enough to go for Aguiar Paul in the Bios Sovereign Nation. The Pope and Conia were surprised at the hikaru they reached in the time of "seven days" from Pawnsonia to Aghia Paul, but they actually arrived in "four days", as the day of the King's Capital call and, furthermore, the arrival at Aghia Paul were able to arrive two days earlier.

"Aren't you going into Aguiar Pole yet?

Paula grumbles at Hikaru, who was crushing his time in the lodging town in front of Aguiar Paul.

Hikaru was drinking tea while reading a book he borrowed from Lavia.

"Oh, you'll be just as alert if you go fast."

"... it's an unusual speed to get there in seven days, right?

"But it's not a level they can't do —— and they're supposed to think. You think I'm an armed adventurer, or an adventurer with some special way of getting around. For example, you think you're handless with a handsome monster that's not a horse"

"Shh, excuse me, Master Hikaru. I can't catch up on my understanding at all...... then wouldn't it have to be even less conspicuous to arrive in a perfect 10 days?

"By my arrival in seven days, you'll see how the Pope comes out. This time the way I do it is like trying a princess, and I don't give a damn. You have the right to try it over here."

"Try over there…"

to, and Hikaru laughed.

"If you're a pacifist, you won't get your hands on it while exploring information. An ambitious man would try to draw me into his own camp. A cold-blooded schemer would just try to kill me."

Including the tea in his mouth put the mug back on the table and Hikaru glanced back at the book.

"Looking forward to it now"
