We Live in Dragon’s Peak

When I woke up the next morning, I made my breakfast and headed to the home of a thousand spiders.

Apparently, Mr. Arda won't accompany you today. You want to take a little more stroll around the forbidden territories? Anyway, Mr. Arda's neighborhood looks like a barren land, and it's rare to have a natural embargo.

I grew up in a place where there was a lot of untouched nature around me, even though I was from the king's capital of the kingdom of Arms, so I had a fresh impression of Arda's interest in every single tree.

And Mr. Sezim and Mr. Azeiran, who had dropped me off slightly.

As always, I can't find any signs.

Almost there, I feel like I could wear the feeling of reading the signs of the world, but I wonder if I need a little more time.

The earth to wear your feet every time you make a spatial leap. Breath of air, animals and nature. Carefully evoking the feeling when dragon swords danced, he was able to read the signs of his familiar surroundings.

Use spatial leaps while reviewing previous ones. Soon afterwards, he arrived from the middle belly of Spiritual Mountain to the rift of the earth running at the foot.

Just like yesterday, the dark darkness is sinking behind the rift.

Dragon qi in his eyes and descends into a rift.

I was in a good mood yesterday. Thousand-handed spider, but I'm in a bad mood today, and it's not gonna happen, is it? What a horrible thing to think and get to the bottom and move on to the back of the darkness.

"One person"

"Good Morning"

A strange voice descended from the back of the dark like an old man, and I stopped and greeted him.

"Thank you for the rice. Rare life. Nice meat. I'm hungry."

The lukewarm, supermassive spider's face floated over my head, and I retreated just a little.

Even if you know you won't be attacked, you'll be in a hurry if the face of a powerful spider comes down.

I'm sure if it was Louiseine or Lyla, I'd blow bubbles and pass out.

"Maybe you already ate yesterday's Evil Dragon?

"Oh! Did you want some?

"No, fine......"

"If you'd told me earlier, I'd have left you just a little meat"

"Was it delicious?

"It's a perfect poison and a neat curse."

"Yes, he died the moment he said it was us."

And the spider of a thousand hands laughed, making a slight sound like a throat.

"Commitment reward. I'll share it with you because I'm full."

"Yay!

It was hard to tell from myself, but the spider with a thousand hands proceeded to talk from me.

Only one spider leg stretched this way from behind the unforeseeable darkness. At the tip of his sharp nails, the glittering thread was wrapped around him and tangled.

"So much!?

Plus, massively.

It's swollen with a fluffy texture, but it's more than my volume.

"Are you there?

"Yeah. Really, can I get this amount?

"Just a little bit."

"Right. It's a little big for you, isn't it?"

"That sort of thing"

Eight bright red eyes glowing overhead look down at me with pleasure.

I honestly received the favor of a thousand spiders and received the thread wrapped around the tip of my nails.

The amount is amazing, but I hardly feel the weight when I hold it. In the north, I also got a lot of this wool, but it's such a nice yarn that I can't compare the texture or the look of it.

"Thank you!

"You're welcome. But is this all you need?

"What!?

"Such a treat has been a long time. I just wanted to thank you so much more."

"I'm glad to hear that. But I can't think of anything else."

Um, and I tip my head. Ares, who received the thread from me and stored it in a mysterious space, was also imitating me and tilting her head to the right and to the left.

"More yarn?

"Hmmm...... Right. I can't think of a use for a lot of yarn. Yes! I want you to be my friend."

"Together?

"Yeah. We'll always come to the forbidden territories, and we'll play and hunt together. I want to get along. I'd like to introduce you to my daughters."

Let's surprise the Mistrals, what a bad thing to suggest, a thousand hand spider laughed in pleasure again these days.

"Funny kid. Fine. Together. My name is Terre. Call me anytime. Talk to me. Let's play together. But I also want rice."

"Teru is the name, isn't it? I'm Ernea, this is Ares. Nice to meet you."

"I'll call you Terru, too. Talk to me."

"Yes..."

While I grinned bitterly at Terru, who was super huge but innocent, I touched the toe of a thousand spiders still in front of me and shook my hand, and he swung.

Terru, a thousand-handed spider, is in a good mood and delighted, as does me and Ares.

I had no idea you could be friends with a warcraft equal to the gorillas in a forbidden territory.

I just wanted to play with you, but I have to get the yarn to the witch first. I'm sorry I asked you out, and when I apologized to Teru, he laughed at me that if I lived for hundreds of years, a few days or years would be short.

Terru tore the space apart with her fingertips just like yesterday and sent us.

And the witch waited for me and Ares, who came back to the abandoned village in an instant.

I receive thread from Ares. [M] If you're going to give it to me so soon, you didn't have to bother to store it in a mysterious space.

"This is the thread."

"A lot. Well, good. Let Arda work on the yarn later."

"What do you use yesterday's Evil Dragon tears for?

The liquid collected from the eyes of the evil dragon's carcass had been handed to the witch along with the leaves of the spirit tree last night.

The leaves of the spiritual tree were not sure whether to be taken from the violin or once returned to the young tree, but Ares took them for me. Thanks to this, I didn't have to reduce the leaves of the tungsten.

"You've already been processed. Once Arda knits the combined yarn, I'll give it to him to match."

Say it. The witch showed me a round treasure ball on her palm.

In the heart of a transparent and beautiful treasure ball, the leaves of a spirit tree were floating.

"Did this trap the tears of the evil dragon and the leaves of the spirit tree in the balls?

How? And intrigued, Ares peeks in properly.

On top of the round treasure balls was a goldsmith's clasp planted, and there was just enough hole to put the knitted yarn through there.

Will the finished product be a necklace?

"It crystallizes the surface of the tears round. It doesn't stay liquid inside. There is a strong curse of mental interference in the tears of the evil dragon, but it is purified with the leaves of the spirit tree"

"... I see"

"If you wear this, you won't be able to put it under service with some moves"

A witch shows Nazaria or Ayura with her gaze. The two of them, who were making preserved food, were grinning bitterly at the witch's allegations.

"It's amazing how you can jump the interference of the Nazarias! By the way, to what extent are you Nazarias?

"It doesn't work for beings like Micheira. That's all I give up. There are limits to the reason of the world."

"I'll be fine. We don't have to use the Spirit."

I sat with my knees in front of the burning fire again today, and Micheira, who was eating purple potatoes, smiled.

"In the first place, so many who are comparable to the Four Guardians cannot exist. If you're opposed to someone who's interfering beyond the protection of this, it's to get away with it. Because they will be robbed no matter how strongly they serve."

"That's right. I'm no match for the Nazarias, and any more opponents will escape."

I look forward to completing it, and I say to Ares. But Ares had found herself in a round, transparent jewel with spiritual tree leaves floating around, and she hadn't noticed my voice.

Just a little sad.

After that, he moved on to training where he felt the world.

Because I know from previous experience that this kind of thing is good while meditating. I'm sorry about Nazaria's help and her promise to play with Teru, but I'll let you turn it around later.

Nazaria also showed me her understanding and I was able to enter the training without thinking about it.

Ares was beside the witch, staring at the treasure ball the whole time.

You really like it.

Speaking of which, I've never given Ares, who's always beside me, an tomorrow thank you.

No, Ares, isn't it just you? You've never even given the Mistrals a thank you in shape, have you? I have a few thoughts around here, but I knew it was important to give them as objects as well as feelings and actions from time to time, and they noticed me watching Ares.

Watching Ares. Just like Micheira, sit in front of the bonfire and start meditating.

Feel the mainstream of the dragon pulse. I feel signs of a wooden knife or Ares in a spirit tree. Recognize the presence of witches, Micheiras, Nazarias and Ayura.

"Ernea, the witch, I am a part of the world. Don't separate yourself from the world. Blend into the world."

Micheira squeaks gently.

I see.

I have to be in tune with the world.

I exist as I am, and you shouldn't try to read the rest as something else.

When I'm dancing dragon swords or meditating like this, I'm gone. It's connected to the dragon pulse and blends into the world through it.

Unusual. You need to look at the world, including me, as "all" rather than the usual state in which you see yourself as "individual".

If you realize it, it was an easy thing.

Because I've always been connected to the world with meditation and dragon sword dance. Just reposition yourself. That way, as soon as I could, I was growing up. [M]

Far away.

From the rift of the earth inhabited by a thousand spiders, Mr. Sejm and Mr. Azeiran were walking back.

You were sneaking up on me, but you weren't close to Terru's address.

While hunting for prey, down or up the slopes. I was supposed to be completely erasing the signs because I was hunting, but I was able to read the movement from the wind flow and the feel of the earth.

From the forest at the foot, Mr. Arda is returning.

He was sucking his spring breath all over his chest and coming up the slope feeling good.

Birds attracted by Mr. Arda's tender signs are flying around her.

You're a strange man.

The power within must be greater than mine. Yet it blends into the world to make the danger feel fine dust.

It was a world I could only feel around me in the morning, but Micheira's advice allowed me to blossom all at once.

Thank you, Arda, for the first cut and Micheira for the advice.

Ah. The witch who made your guard for Ares. Thank you, Terru, for splitting the yarn. Thank you, too, Nazaria and Ayura, who are making preserved food.

Mr. Sezim and Mr. Azeiran?

I'm going to take revenge on those two!

Mr. Arda came back before noon. And the witch pushed me on errands, and I was laughing bitterly.

Thank you so much Arda for knitting the strings!

From lunch he went into training to unravel his meditation state and feel the world even when he was walking or distracted.

Ares followed me, too, so Teru and I joined up and trained while playing.

"Gyaaaaaaah!"

"Muri, I can't! I'm sorry. Okay, no, no, no."

Ask Terru, who is out of the rift of the earth, to chase Mr. Sejm and Mr. Azeiran around.

Surprise.

Terlu was a mountain huge.

Could it be bigger than old Sleighsta with his wings spread?

As the name suggests, countless legs are lifting huge torso, and in the space made between the legs and torso, a small mountain would likely fit perfectly.

Me and Ares form over Terru's head.

The sky is close!

Targets Sejim and Azeiran fled with all their might. Dive into the woods and completely erase the signs. Dive into lakes or hide in spiritual junctions.

Ares and Terru don't tell me the signs of Sejim and the others. In order to go after him, I have to read the signs.

This is how the banned goods were executed for several days.

Really, I'll make an excuse for someone who doesn't know, because you didn't just hunt in the morning, teach Nazaria how to make preserved food, and play.

And.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Receive from the witch the protection completed with the combined yarn knitted by Mr. Arda.

"Thank you!

"No, I thought I said thank you from my concubine."

And the witch says, but don't go into what you were using Mr. Arda for.

As expected, the guardian of the treasure balls was decorated with necklaces.

I'll call Ares for you.

"I'm happy. I'm happy!

Ares is thrilled to jump.

He was thanking the witch with a full smile.

Uhm. If Priscia sees Ares' protection, wouldn't she want it?

It's just a specialty for Ares, but you'll understand when I explain it, won't you?

You will...

"Now, can we finally go home?

Arda with a slightly tired look. Speaking of which, Mr. Arda was the first one to say he wanted to get back early. Could it have been a long stay because of the thank-you?

"They needed a break."

"I get a headache when I think about the disturbance after I leave. I'm not resting."

"We'll be fine. Her sister is smart. We'll be good around you."

"... even though I don't want to worry or struggle with my sister"

It's not overprotective.

Apparently, Mr. Arda has a sister.

Are you a kind, beautiful, intelligent person, similar to Mr. Arda?

It's not just Mr. Arda. I ended up never knowing what Micheira and Nazaria were all about. [M] I don't even know the name of a witch.

Is Arda a fake name, too?

It was a strange encounter, but it was a day that made me think a lot about it.

The witch puts her hand on Arda's shoulder.

When the two of them lined up, the witch was just a little taller.

Or not too tall!?

I'm sure it's going to be about as long as a listaire.

"I took care of you"

"Thank you for a few days"

Arda, who raises her head deeply, and the witch, who wears the headscarf section of her coat back deeply.

We also wave goodbye greetings.

Shimmering like stardust danced around the witch. The moment I thought. Already, Mr. Arda and the witch had disappeared.

Even after the witch and Arda disappeared, the grain of light drifted into space like an aftertaste.

"So, Ernea's leaving, too?

"Yes, originally, because the embargo planned to move as soon as food was secured"

Yes. Neither can I stay in the Forbidden Land forever.

I have a lot of plans.

"Micheira and the others are still here?

"By the time Ernea's here, we're still stuck."

"What do you mean?

You may not even know your identity. I didn't know what Micheira and the others were up to, and I put a question mark over my head.

"I'm sure again. I'll see you soon."

"I'll introduce you to my family."

I'm looking forward to it.

I shake the goodbyes with Micheira and the others.

Mr. Sejim and Mr. Azeiran greeted me with a full grin when they finally said they were free from Terru's fears.

After me and Ares waved to everyone again.

I ran down Spiritual Mountain all at once on a spatial leap.

Let's look forward to seeing Micheira and the witch again someday.

And then, I wish I could grow up enough to understand their position and role.

The spiritual mountain, which slowly widened the hem, soon became smaller and invisible in the green of the forest.
