We Live in Dragon’s Peak

The season is getting a little colder, and with that we're in a rush, too.

With winter upon us and the year upon us, the time for travel is finally upon us.

The number of fellow students willing to become adventurers and give you a flag was slightly lower than initially, but still more than a few times the number of regular years.

From what I hear, a large number of people in different school districts want adventurers, which means that adventurers unions have been busy with a huge increase in subscribers that we rarely see in recent years.

Of course it's the brave Listeir that's starting this commotion.

His activity was growing.

While we were at the temple, they crusaded the immortal knight who appeared in the nearby village.

More recently, it often buzzes a side of the newspaper about where it exorcised demons there and crusaded multiple demons.

In proportion to that, school attendance was decreasing, but when I came back, I was at the center of everyone's circle at all times.

And the skill of swordsmanship also rises to the wrong digits, which I know very well from watching on the side.

I know this is something I can feel because I'm up in my arms myself, but Listeer is exceptional after all.

No matter how powerful I am, Listeer improves a few times faster than that.

Slatton, Crescio, and Listea's daughters are with them.

Every time they go on an adventure, they come back to show off the steps of growth.

I'm in training too. One day I want to catch up with their strengths. But instead of catching up, they just let me go.

Driven by a sense of impatience, I have consulted with Old Sleighsta.

Then it seems that the difference in that growth is the difference in real life experience.

Even when it comes to training, meditation and dragon sword dance are the main forms of archaeology.

Experience in action is about the time I met a demon swordsman in the ruins and when you used him.

I used to have mock fights with Mistral, but in the end it's mock, so I don't feel like killing and I don't feel like my life is in danger, so there's a limit to improvement.

And.

I've hardly been able to see Mistral lately.

She seems very busy after you.

Seems like he comes to Sleighsta old every day, but he's already home a lot when I come in the afternoon.

As always, they take a lot of firewood and, these days, seasonally, a lot of nuts and prepare them, but there were very few days to face each other.

And both Priscia and Niemia, we haven't seen much of each other, either.

Because Mistral's always picking you up, so inevitably, if she wasn't around, the Priscians wouldn't be in the moss square, either.

I've been a little lonely, and I'm depressed.

But for that matter, I can concentrate on training.

It's not far to the strengths of the Listeers, but that's why daily training is important, right?

Less in action will have to be compensated for by the quality of training and concentration.

So I was still meditating at school.

I was recently promoted from the son of Azhu to the nickname Elnea of Paranoia.

Why are you delusional?

It's meditation, meh... let's.

But being intimate with Louiseine, I must have closed my eyes and imagined something evil, even in martial arts time, which became a weird nickname, mainly for the boys.

Yeah, yeah.

Louiseine and I have been together a lot in school.

Louiseine is aggressive.

He stays by my side with a flat attitude, even if it's all teared up around him.

Well, most of the same witches Keeli and Inea teach the witch's girlfriend, and I'm sure she's used to that.

Luiseine always goes to Moss Square with me when she doesn't have a job of her own.

They're telling the temple it's medicinal herb removal.

In fact, if we go to Moss Square, the temple doesn't seem to suspect either, because Mistral is going home with the herbs that were preparing us for this again.

When she comes to Moss Square, she helps me train.

Luiseine is a war witch.

He had more experience in action than I had, and the way he fought with swords and magic was fresh to me.

Working with Mistral has decreased, but I'm starting to play a few games with Louiseine.

And she's a dragoneye user, isn't she?

Looks like she'll be training with me. [M]

Luiseine uses the dragon's eye and reads my dragon chi.

When I use Dragon Sword Dance, I see the flow of dragon air wrapped around my body.

Seeing that, these days I've been prefetching my moves.

Yeah. This is dangerous.

I realize what Mistral meant when he said dragon eyes are natural enemies.

There's nothing you can do about trying to do something, but get dragon chi read.

If you know what's coming next, how easy it is to deal with it.

The match with Louiseine, who has sharpened his dragon's eye, had a different difficulty than it did during Mistral.

By the way.

What happens when Mistral and Luiseine compete.

That seemed like no matter how much Luiseine tried to preface Mistral's movements using the dragon's eye, she wouldn't get her hands or feet before her overwhelming speed and destructiveness.

Don't be afraid, Princess Dragon...

Apparently, my first goal is to get one from Louiseine.

And try to catch up with Listeer.

The ultimate goal is Mistral.

I have to help protect Mistral, Louiseine, and other loved ones. [M]

I swear, I went to Moss Square as usual.

It's getting cold for a long time, and even in the dragon forest, dead and fallen leaves are becoming commonly noticed, but the moss square was the same green carpet.

And old Sleighsta, like a mountain lying in the center of that square, as always.

"Ewwwwww"

"Wow."

The moment you look at me, old Sleighsta sneezes at me.

I panicked and dodged with a spatial leap.

The prank is the same!

"What. Don't you know that you care about old people who sneeze?"

"Yeah, if it wasn't for Grandpa, I'd be worried he might have caught a cold."

"You've been cold to me lately."

"From Mistral, I learned how to handle Grandpa"

"Mmm, little girl. Extra things."

Shit, and tongue-in-cheek, Old Sleighsta shifts her gaze away from me.

I'm not a child, so what are you going to do with it?

I laughed bitterly at Sleighsta's old tricks.

"Thou shalt have more respect for me, the master."

"I respect you, and I appreciate you. But it's not like it's gonna be all snotty."

"My snot becomes omnipotent. Thank you."

"No, I'm healthy right now, so I can't get a meaningless, thankful snot."

I don't want to get all snot all over my body early when I come.

"I have no choice. I will give you a trial."

I'm not taking it lightly.

I just simply avoided the runny nose that I flew with pranks.

And yet Old Sleighsta is terrible that it's a trial in retribution.

"Ha ha, I sometimes ghost my heart out and train my beloved apprentice"

Old Sleighsta's mouth, with her mouth wide open and laughing delightfully, had only one fang.

Toothless. It's dumb.

It was not majestic or anything.

"Don't worry about the fangs, they'll grow again soon"

"Yeah, I don't care if Mistral beat me to death."

"Geez, you've been really disconnected lately."

I smile at old Sleighsta, who turns into a bitter smile.

It feels good to be able to do it back like this once in a while.

You don't usually leave me to be pranked.

"So, what's the trial?"

Is it the usual whim? I wonder what I can say today, me asking Sleighsta.

Lately, I've been doing all sorts of things at the whim of old Sleighsta.

Did you get the nuts or wash the kettle containing the runny nose with Zelig?

This seems to be what Mistral was supposed to do every day. But she seemed busy, and I was just helping take care of Old Sleighsta.

"This time I ask you to deliver the letter."

"Letter?"

I wonder if the Dragons ever write a letter, too.

Ahead of Sleighsta's old gaze. A single letter was placed on the firewood and nuts gathered as usual.

"Dear Left, By letter. But that's not what I wrote. We don't have to write a letter, but it's as easy as communicating with someone far away."

That's heart surgery. I knew it was awesome.

"So to whom do you deliver the letter?"

"This letter is a letter of introduction. It was Mistral who wrote it. Deliver this to a man named Jildo who lives north of the king's capital."

Mmm, Mistral's letter? Or a letter of introduction?

"Deliver this to Zildo, and you will receive something from him."

"What is it?"

"I can't tell you that from my mouth. I just don't think it's easy."

"Is the letter meant to introduce me to Mr. Zildo?"

"Dear Left, Zildo will not deal with you without it"

I wonder if he's a difficult man. I can't believe Mistral went out of his way to write references.

And that Mistral wrote, could Mr. Zildo be a Dragon Nation?

But I've never heard of a dragon tribe living in Wang Du.

"Go and you'll see. Anyway, deliver the letter to Zildo."

And you should just get me something.

Like easy, like difficult. I don't know. It's a trial.

"This is a very tough trial"

But old Sleighsta says in a harsh tone after reading my less serious thoughts.

"If you fail to receive something from Zildo, you will not have had an affair with Mistral."

"Yeahhh!!

I opened my eyes in amazement at the sudden announcement.

Old Sleighsta isn't trying to get me in trouble. I'm serious.

If I don't make it through this trial, it's like I'm really breaking up my friendship with Mistral.

I wonder why we suddenly talked about that.

I wonder if it has anything to do with Mistral being busy.

I just thought it would be hard for her to find a tribe in the Dragon Nation that knows the Devil Nation. Maybe I'm busy with something different.

"The deadline is until before the beginning of the year. Take what you have from Zildo by then and come back. Until then, you don't have to come here."

Between now and the beginning of the year, we still have most of the days. But do I have to get what I have in between?

And this is going to be a very difficult thing to set a time frame for.

I sweat from all over my body. [M]

If you fail, you lose Mistral.

I don't like that. I definitely don't want to leave Mistral.

Whatever it is, I'll make it through this trial.

"It is the heart of it. I'm counting on you too."

I think Old Sleighsta put me to the test because of unstoppable circumstances.

Then I'll do everything I can. [M]

When I took the letter, I missed it. [M]

"By the way, does Mistral know that when I fail the trial, my friendship is destroyed?"

"Absolutely. It is also included in Mistral. If you want to marry that one, you must fulfill the test."

"... Yes"

Have you accepted Mistral?

I wonder why Old Sleighsta has suddenly said such trials.

And why, Mistral drank the terms of this one.

I was terrified of the mysterious trials I was about to await.
