The wife of the villains, returning to death to change her mind.

Father-in-law's house, the bedroom that was given to us in it.

Cleman and Sieg are breathing.

I did that before, but I woke up again.

Why on earth?

I woke up wondering and went to the balcony.

Looking up at the sky, there were so many stars shining there that they were incomparable to the city.

The city is easy to spend at night without being wrapped in complete darkness by the power of magic equipment, but the natural light is definitely blocked.

In comparison, there were few such magic devices in the land of the trad, so the light of the stars jumped into my eyes clearly.

But that's not what bothers me most right now.

"... even though it's faint... now you can definitely feel the strong magic in the mountains for a moment...?

Yes, at the same time as I was on the balcony, I felt a strong sign of magic for a moment.

It disappeared quickly, so it can be judged to be a mistake.

However, I believe quite a bit in my sensory abilities.

I never thought I'd make a mistake, but I know empirically that I rarely make mistakes.

That's why there must be something in the mountains.

Of course, we know that there are many monsters, but the magic of the monsters that live around the trad was a great force.

I couldn't leave it without confirming it.

So I'll go back to my bedroom and get dressed.

Then he glanced at Sieg and Clément, then went out onto the balcony and headed straight into the mountain.

"... it was definitely around here... right?"

I wasn't very sure, but when I got to the point where I felt the magic earlier, I looked around.

It doesn't look like anything.

Surrounded by lush trees and subtle signs of insects and animals.

The monster didn't seem to be around, and I couldn't feel the magic.

But....

"That's funny. Just the air around here, the flow is strange...."

Looking at the surrounding wind currents by wind magic, I found some of them in strange air currents.

I can't feel the air flowing, as if it had just been cut unnaturally.

This is not a natural state, first of all, impossible.

So, what's going on?

I will use magic on the space where the air will not feel.

"... it makes sense to lay back, to retreat from my power..."

At the same time, my magic is assembled and disappears to dissolve around me.

And after a while,

- Pan!

And there was a cracking sound, and the space bounced like glass.

And when I realize it...

"Eh... you're kidding...!?

On the spot, there was a huge object that had never existed before.

A giant monster with wings, covered in black scales.

In other words...

"... Black Dragon...?

There was a dark dragon, said to be the most powerful of the dragons.

"... have you solved my hiding, human?"

That's what the dragon said to me, echoing from the bottom of the earth.

Apparently, it was this dragon that broke the border.

So I revealed that I was hiding, and the voice sounded much like a crown.

I was wondering what the answer was, but I thought I'd be attacked if I didn't say anything, so I opened my mouth for now.

"... yeah, I got it. But I didn't think there was a black dragon."

Hmm, I suppose so. It is no coincidence that I am here with you. We were going to leave this place sooner or later. And yet you... "

"... I'm sorry about that. But if that's the case, can you leave now? If you do, I'll forget about you."

This wasn't an overstatement, it was an honest feeling.

I wanted to ask you a favor, such as the presence near my bed.

If the dragon goes wild, it becomes dust like a trad and vanishes.

We can't let that happen.

That's why I wanted you to leave at once if you want to leave.

But the Black Dragon said.

If I could do it sooner... I can't do it for a while now. Let's get some rest.

"Rest... eh?

I thought about what to say and tried to ask about it, and I realized.

There are wounds on the dragon's body, part of it.

She has a pretty deep wound and is bleeding from it.

"Because of that scratch....?

That's right. If this doesn't heal, I can't fly. "

"Why are you scratching me like that..."

The Black Dragon is a powerful being.

Oh, and no one's going to get hurt.

It was still strange.

However, after thinking so much, I can only think of a few things recently.

I ask.

"No way... the blue dragon the other day...?

Well, did you see that? I see. So? Where is that?

"I flew away a few days ago..."

Having said that, the black dragon's voice was a clear homogeneous tone.

"Really... did you give up and leave?"

"Does that mean that's who you are?

That's what it is. I don't care about the details, but I really want to be a dead man. He ran away and lurked in the mountains around Astaire for a while. But I kept searching, so I took a little distance... and finally got here. Still, I thought it was only a matter of time before we found him... but I'm surprised he gave up. You can't follow my magic anymore? I don't know why, but... it was very frustrating. "
