The star sheep (root sheep) were fast. More than three times faster than walking on human legs. It's like going all the way on a small run, and the natural suspension works because you're making a seat there with mockingbird hair. I didn't feel much shaking, so I was less tired.

You somehow understand what humans say, the direction of travel is also easily conveyed, and yesterday we arrived at the place where we found Pinkie Dear in about two hours of things.

"That was around here, wasn't it?"

"Yeah...... But there's nothing left."

There should have been a little space for Pinkie Dear, or traces of the battle, but there were no deer remains there. Other wildlife must have taken it away.

It's the food chain.

I saw a cycle of nature, Hikaru thought.

Then for two days, I traveled on a route sheep until I reached the Great River, which I could hardly cross. It was simply easier to go along with the route sheep even a little farther away and

"Ugh, Moko, see you later..."

It was because Lavia liked the route sheep too much.

As he waved to Root Sheep, unfortunately, Root Sheep also left as he looked back at this one. It's a mockingbird, it's very temperamental, and as long as there's nothing like it, you can avoid the danger —— but it's muddy.

I've lost a day by helping Pinkie Dear, but overall, thanks to Rootsheep, progress seems to have accelerated.

I just crossed the Great River with a hang glider and stay one night.

Once a day, you will not encounter the battle of the Expeditionary Corps, you will not see it far away, you will only hear the sound, but you will not encounter it from here on out.

"Dear Hikaru, is the Evil Dragon gone (...) anymore?

"Um, at that rate in Koo, that sounds like it, but hey. I don't know."

"But how the hell..."

I almost said Paula would shut her mouth.

"... yeah, you can't throw away the possibility that you ate it"

"Dear Hikaru!? I didn't mean to!

The sight of Koo eating evil dragons was not a pleasant imagination, so I broke it off early.

That's how the Hikars went north —— and over another five days, finally, they saw the land of the North Limit.

It's been about half a month since I last came.

When the Evil Dragon crusade was taking place, I hardly felt the feeling there and the temperatures were low or anything, but this part of the continent, the northernmost part of the country, was still cold.

That's the slightest warmth I feel.

Climb the last slope leading up to the basin. There is no sign of a monster around, the blue sky as far as I can see and the grey earth on one side.

Everyone has been silent since earlier. I don't know what lies ahead, so hold hands, activate "mass blockade".

(Kou named himself "mediator". The dragon is not unnatural because he is God's servant, but I thought God was the "mediator"...)

And even this is what he said.

--When you settle down after a few days, come and take a look. I'm sure you have something interesting.

(Interesting stuff (...)... I wonder what the hell. Well, I have some anticipation)

Dragons can manipulate holy demon energy. So the high energy crystals you get from purifying evil dragons, or whatever you used them for...... I'm happy as Hikaru that it's about the "dragon path". Also, it's hard to take 10 days to get back to Dreammaker.

Conversely, I feel like I've lost money as a hikaru if I don't have something "interesting" to match on the 20th round trip —— although, of course, I was wondering what happened to Evil Dragon.

(Surprisingly, it could be a weapon? No, that long-like dragon in there seems to have some sort of distinction to the extent that it doesn't leave such a noisy thing behind)

With that in mind, Hikaru climbed through the last few steps.

"Ooh..."

And the wind blew out.

Left and right, Lavia and Paula line up to look down at the indented land.

There was -- there was nothing left.

As well as the remains of Qi Qi and Evil Dragon, the ground, which was black and dirty, has returned to a clean and refreshing grey stone.

"Wow. It's as if there was nothing here from the beginning."

"Like Paula's purification?

"Wow, it feels like it takes years to do my magic so extensively!

"That's true, but they're dragons. Maybe I can do some ultra-wide purification.... but well, nothing. Nothing brilliant."

It was the thought of a clap.

I'm sure I'm relieved, but given the hassle of traveling again with a hang glider so far, it's nothing more than a little frustrating.

Did you want to show me that you're beautiful —— and I wouldn't call it an "interesting thing" if I did?

(Or couldn't leave anything behind?

As for Hikaru, I felt there was a good chance of that. Kou wanted to stay, but the head of the inside took away something left...

"Mmm."

That's when Lavia,

"Hmm?

I put my arms together and put my neck aside.

Monsters can't see shadows or shapes, so "mass blockade" is solved.

"What's going on?

"Hikaru... what's in the middle of there, no?

Lavia pointed to the central part of the indented earth. It is probably also where the dragon was, where Hikaru stepped in and crusaded the evil dragon.

"Yeah......?

Jeez, Hikaru glances at me.

Then —— there was that feeling, like it was snug, like it was heated and the other side seeped in.

"There's definitely something going on. Shall we go?"

Hikaru said that without any concern, and now he goes down the slope.

Hot springs erupting or something —— oh, my God, I was thinking, katakata, and something moved on my back.

"... Huh?

The sidelines are ringing. The sheath made of the "Divine Tree of Everlasting Darkness" should have such an effect as "covering and hiding all things". Just as the magic of the sidelines inside doesn't leak, so does interference from the outside.

And yet the sidelines -- Koo's, the sword that sucked in the dragon's magic, are reacting...?

"Huh!"

At that time Hikaru ran chills trembling due to a hunch about what would happen and discover (...).

"... Dear Hikaru?

Paula asks when she realizes that Hikaru's walking has gone crazy.

"It's okay.... go and you'll see"

Slowly, definitely getting closer. "Something interesting," to where the dragon described it.

I'm not responding to "Magic Detection" anything.

Creepy enough, it was quiet.

It seems that the loose and loose shimmer is greater than Hikaru's height. There was definitely something there when the water vapor fluctuated.

"Hikaru. Are you sure you're okay?

Lavia also looks carefree again —— but Hikaru wasn't fine at all.

The distance from it is already approaching to about 20 meters.

Is it because of the wind direction?

Smells like it.

There's a smell that's not suitable for sniffing in a place like this.

"... I know"

Hikaru snapped.

"This smell that makes you feel bad, no matter what you do wrong..."

Hikaru was sure.

"It's exhaust gas (...)"

When I approached a distance of about 10 meters, I heard a noise. The engine sound of brollollollollo...... And the papper and the ringing clutches.

They were all natural.

For Hikaru when he was in Japan.

"You're lying, Koo... I never expected this."

Should I call that distraction a "crack in the world" -?

"I don't think we're going to connect beyond the world..."

On the other side of the melt, a grey asphalt, elevated, saw the shadow of a car passing through.

There was a crack somewhere on Earth.
