We Live in Dragon’s Peak

Behind the cave was intricate.

Obviously, there are several lateral holes in people's hands branching out along the way.

Dragon Qi's dwelling eyes look out to the back of a thin, luminous hole. The sidewalk, narrowed enough to feel narrow when two people lined up beside each other, seemed to continue everywhere.

Sharpening his mind, he senses the signs of the Four and Neemiah, and the Warcraft of the Tsubaki, who descended into the basement for a long time.

If I had stopped my legs on the advantageous terrain of a warcraft that was so narrow and free to move around with armor, I would be fed, by the way. That seems familiar to the four adventurers, who may be fighting the Warcraft as they travel.

I just have to believe that nothing more is going to happen because Neemia is here.

If Niemia could have returned to her original appearance in a vast space, I don't suppose this level of warcraft would be a problem.

Trying to join everyone, hurry ahead.

But the path in the pit that got in was blocked in front of me like a maze.

We can explore the signs of everyone. But the ability to explore the signs is not omnipresent enough to figure out the way to get there. We rely on everyone's signs to go underground and choose our way underground, but we hit the end of the line, or we're supposed to head downstairs up.

I find myself frustrated by the oddity and the inability to proceed as I wish.

That's right, Ares can't instantly grasp the unknown pits of land she doesn't know, and she still disappears.

As it is, it is not strange when everyone with Mr. Aquil, who cannot move properly with a sprained ankle, finds himself in a predicament.

Feeling in a hurry. But I can't rendezvous.

Turn back a few endings and run down a different path.

Crystal stones gleamed faintly, peering their faces from the walls and ceilings, even as they went behind. And from time to time, I pass a place ashed with Niemia's breath. That was the only sign.

Slide down steep slopes and continue along rough, shredded pits.

Even as I proceeded, the screaming and fighting sounded intermittently in the pit, and I heard that the battle was continuing.

A pit like the one that goes on everywhere. But gradually I was close to everyone. [M]

Hurry, hurry!

It doesn't make sense to arrive after someone's sacrifice.

Run as hard as you can.

At that time.

A more resounding cry of the Warcraft burst into the pit.

What!?

With a scream of warcraft like I've never heard before, my leg stops for a moment.

No way, someone sacrificed it!?

Explore the signs as you move your instantly stopped leg again.

Then, for some reason, the signs of the Warcraft had disappeared neglectfully.

Oh. Could it have defeated the Warcraft the other way around?

It's not like the Warcraft escaped. No matter how much armor you're wearing, I don't think you'll disappear from my sensing range in an instant.

But the signs are completely gone.

Does that mean you defeated the Warcraft after all?

But...

For some reason, the signs of everyone else I've explored were more perplexing than ever.

What's going on...?

Previously solidified, signs of everyone traveling as they responded were broken up into scatters. Besides, he doesn't show any signs of rendezvous, and he scatters as he runs away.

"Kinkin"

Allez somehow showed up by now and pulled the hem of my clothes when he said he was gone.

"What happened?

Ask as you run across the manifest Ares. But Ares looked up at me with a serious look and just shook her head.

Do you have any idea what happened to Ares? And unforeseen things may be happening that will advise you that it is dangerous.

Run alert. Proceed as you explore the signs ahead. But I can only sense signs of Neemia with four of the Stylers.

Fortunately, however, signs of Mr. Aquil and Niemia were approaching this side of everyone scattered.

The other three are fleeing further in separate directions.

In the meantime, let's continue on the reverse road and rendezvous with Niemia, who is approaching us.

Neemia's getting closer and closer to seeing our signs, too.

And we and Niemia rendezvoused in a long, gentle downhill pit.

"I was scared."

Neemia desperately winged and stormed me in the face.

"Up. Niemia, what's going on?

I listen as I stick it in my face and strip away Niemia, who trembles.

Niemia's flying and talking means that Aquil's presence has already been exposed.

"Nah. I couldn't afford to hide."

"Thank you for protecting everyone so far."

When Neemia and I were meeting, Mr. Aquil arrived late.

Sweating all over his face, a distorted look in pain. And Mr. Aquil, who had pulled his right leg, sat down like he had done all he could in front of me.

"Mr. Aquil, are you okay!?

Run over and see how your ankles are.

It was swollen and more painful than it was when I was resting.

"I'm... okay. More than that, my brothers..."

While holding her ankle, Mr. Aquil looked back with a rough breath. But from behind Mr. Aquil, no one's coming.

And Mr. Aquil wasn't going to be able to move any more. I wasn't originally in a state where I could move, but being attacked by a warcraft forced me to get away to this point.

That would have been hard.

I take out the small pot I was lowering to my hip. [M]

I guess I really shouldn't use it with Darkless Arrow Cod.

I can't help it because it's an emergency right now.

Open the lid of the kettle and apply the ointment liquid that was inside to Mr. Aquil's sprained area. Then, in a flash, the swelling pulled off.

Mr. Aquil, who was looking at what he was doing, gave a surprise look.

"Doesn't it hurt anymore?

"Oh, oh..."

The painful and distorted expression was soothing.

However, Mr. Aquil did not say what his current medication was or why he had hidden it until now.

There are about one or two secrets an adventurer can't tell you. They may also have hidden balls or secret medicines for storage. Especially if it's a secret drug, I usually don't use it for others because it can be hard or expensive to get, and I wouldn't say I have it. As a first-rate adventurer, Mr. Aquil also seemed helpful not to do such unnecessary prying.

"So, I want you to let me know what's going on."

Mr. Aquil answered my question, not Niemia, who was trembling.

"We don't know what happened, either. Moving on from here I can get out of a wide area... so I decided to fight the Warcraft. But the Warcraft in an instant..."

In an instant?

What happened?

I'll wait for the words to continue, but Mr. Aquil didn't say anything to me after that.

Yeah, maybe I couldn't get it out of my mouth. That's about it, even Mr. Aquil doesn't know what happened.

I have no choice but to see Niemia.

Though frightened, Niemia would be looking at the situation in more detail.

"Nah."

Neemia looked back at me in trouble.

"It was a moment, so I couldn't see what happened. But take it easy."

"Neemia's here, and it's still dangerous?

"Elnea, if it's just your brother, I can protect you. But I can't afford to protect anyone else."

"Does that mean it's dangerous for me to go?

"I don't know."

Maybe Niemia doesn't know exactly what happened either. In the meantime, when I went to help the other three. If something unexpected happens and it becomes dangerous, it may be okay if it's just me and Niemia, but we can't afford to turn a blind eye.

To my thoughts, Niemia nodded sorry.

I wonder what the problem is.

Yesterday, on the way down Dragon Peak, I met the injured Mr. Aquil and Mr. Ash. They were exhausted and forced to make future choices.

Abandon Mr. Aquil or place a reckless bet for all. The Stylers didn't have to lose their family because I happened to be lucky to show up there.

And now I'm forced to make a difficult choice. [M]

Take only Mr. Aquil, who was able to take safety precautions and rendezvous? Or do you dare Niemia or Ares to step into a place called Danger and try to rescue the other three?

The hard choice is to help Mr. Aquil alone. Me and the Stylers just met on a trip, not a deep relationship. It's not like helping me until I risk my life. [M]

But, hey...

View Niemia and Ares.

Niemia was still shaking. But this tremor isn't a fear of not knowing what happened, it's a unique tremor of Niemia simply being afraid of battle.

And Ares.

"Honki Honki"

Oh, boy, he was sighing with a squeaky face that was not like a toddler girl.

"The brothers..."

Mr. Aquil was fully aware of the seriousness of the matter and had a sense of grief like he had yesterday.

I put my hand on Mr. Aquil's shoulder like that.

Biri, and Mr. Aquil tremble.

"Mr. Aquil......"

"Elnea, you don't have to tell me. Even we're always ready. My brothers..."

Yesterday's opposite, while falling into despair, this time Mr. Aquil was staring firmly at reality.

I put my other hand on Mr. Aquil's shoulder.

"Mr. Aquil, your legs don't hurt anymore, do they?

"Oh...... thanks for the precious pills"

"So you can go back to your original campsite alone, right?

I realized what I was going to say, and Mr. Aquil's expression was strong.

"Elnea, no. It's too dangerous!"

"Right. It's only dangerous to head to a place where you don't know what's going on. But I still can't abandon you..."

It's not cheap justice or anything like that. If there's a chance I can help, I want to help.

Niemia says I might be able to protect her. [M] Then leave Mr. Aquil and I'll try to rescue the other three.

There's another new problem with leaving Mr. Aquil alone, but he's also an amazing adventurer. And the ankle sprain, which was a suspension, was now completely healed. There was no dangerous place by the time I got here, no sign of a ferocious warcraft around me, etc. If it's just for a little while, Mr. Aquil will be fine with one, won't he? The place to go back was just camping.

"Didn't Ernea just say that this morning? This is Dragon Peak, and it's even more dangerous than anyone can imagine."

"Yes, you said it. But I see the danger a little more accurately than Aquil. And with that in mind, we decided we could go. So I'm sorry, but can Mr. Aquil come back alone?

"Us..."

Mr. Aquil sees us in turn. Me with my hands on my shoulders. Ares is observing what happens next door. And Niemia is shivering as she sifts.

"The Erneas... who are they?

I smiled back at Mr. Aquil, who said nothing. [M]

"I'm a dragon's wife."

"Liar. To the King of Destruction."

"Liar. Mayu."

"... what?

It wasn't just Mr. Aquil who pointed me in the eye, it was the same for me.

You guys... what are you talking about?

I was going to say it in a righteous side-style manner, dressed up and hiding who I am, and it's ruined.

By my side, where I drop my shoulders disappointingly, Ares' contours glow. And it became a grain of golden light, and it dissolved in my body.

Out of the way, the power rises from the inside.

"Ugh. Hang in there."

Neemia wings when she's ready and jumps over my head. And I stretched my back a lot.

"Children's, dragons..."

"You can't talk nonsense!

I disappeared before Mr. Aquil. [M]
