We Live in Dragon’s Peak

"Mm-hmm. Priscia builds a big house here for everyone to play with."

"You don't live here, you play"

"It's fun, huh?

"It's sweet."

Cheerful Priscia gives me a full smile as she jumps on the shore of the lake with Run.

Ares seems to have more fun than usual, too.

I chased the young girl with light feet. [M]

What a lovely day.

The sun is sunny, with temperatures not cold or hot. A cloud that flows slowly through the sky feels good just to watch. The breeze, which flows with a touch, gently strokes the trees of the forest.

It's comfortable to feel anything.

Because I'm finishing my big job and enjoying a long holiday.

I didn't have to be a demon king. [M]

It's unclear if the Demon King of the Giants really gave up, but at least he could have taken off the crisis in front of him.

With this momentum, I also tried to hand over the rights of the Necromancer City to Mr. Meduria, but that's just impossible, and I still seem to be in a ruling position. However, Mr. Meduria was allowed to administer it as a Lords' agent and will continue to receive the support of the Demon King.

I hear the Black-winged Demons of the elite unit are retreating, but they're sending a replacement unit to garrison.

The cost of an army garrison?

It seems the money moves in parts I don't know.

My income stream seems to be flowing from the unintelligible to the unintelligible.

Yes. It's other HR style.

The Suranel Grand River flows through the border between the kingdoms of Armuard and Yortenitos. A part of the toll on the bridge on a large river that I can't see across the shore is a source of income I can't remember.

People and cargo are just passing by, and I hear a lot of money is coming in.

I asked Yufi and Nina that the cost of maintaining my parents' house would also be covered by those sources of income while gaining the stage. Expenses would be huge in conjunction with running a Necromancer City, but I guess it's still enough income to be okay.

I only have change in my little purse, so it's a strange story that I don't really feel.

So when we solved our problems and those of the Necromancer City, we decided it was time to go home after a few days.

Before summer, I traveled for a long time without saying hello to my mothers. I have to make a report to Mr. Rudollard and the people involved, and I have to send the red-haired Glause to the barn.

Nowadays, he remains deprived of consciousness in the prison of the Necromancer City. I plan to collect it when I return.

And when we get home, we have to get ready for the wedding ritual.

Yes, yes. Finally, the ritual of marriage of the brave Listaire was imminent.

Preparations are well under way for the marriage ritual to be executed in the vice-capital Ambis.

She said the appointment was summer, so we had to go home by then, and we were all talking.

Someone disagreed with us. [M]

Yes. Yes. It's our tyrant princess.

"You know what? Priscia wants to hang out with Teru, right?

I'm sure Priscia suggested that very normally, with an innocent mind. Ares, the backwardness of not being able to give you the right matching protective gear was heavy on everyone's mind.

So I'm here to see you, to the Embargo.

Nevertheless, I'm sorry that I don't have a souvenir to see Terru, so this is how I'm hunting while taking a proper walk with Priscia.

By the way, the Mistrals are getting ready to stay in an abandoned village.

Neemia wanted to play, too, but she drove me out to get ready for your stay and again.

Niemia was sacrificed by Priscia.

Too bad.

And I thought Micheira and the others were still staying, but they weren't already in the embargo.

I would have introduced you to everyone if you were here.

"Ah, Mr. Rabbit!

Priscia finds a grasshopped white rabbit and chases him properly.

I think you can catch him in an instant using a spatial leap, but he's a little kid there. Seems more fun to chase than efficiency.

"Here. You can't go too far ahead."

I followed Priscia off the shore of the lake with a small run.

Ares was floating in the universe chasing me.

Aren't you making it easier on yourself, Ares?

"Pimp, Mr. Rabbit"

I imitate a raven, or from what I can tell, it resembles a jump of a frog, but Priscia chases a white raven.

The white rabbit flees to the back of the grass wondering if he will be caught.

Priscia jumps, too, and goes into the grass.

I go after Priscia without interrupting her play, exploring for disturbing signs around her.

Through the grass and into the woods.

The woods with bush of young grass bathed full of wood leakage days are full of signs of spring and it feels good just to be running.

Priscia is an ear elder living in the woods. You're feeling signs of spring in the woods, it seems more fun than usual.

It's like catching a rabbit is second to none, and he's obsessed with the chase.

But, you know, if we don't collect souvenirs for Terru, we can't go out and play, right?

I don't think you've even forgotten the purpose of meeting Terru already...

Oh, boy.

If we don't finish the hunt soon, the sun will go down and Teru won't be able to play properly.

I stopped by to visit the Forbidden Territories, but I'm not staying long.

Nevertheless, it would be bad if I had the white rabbit that Priscia is after. [M]

I'm chasing Priscia, looking for a different prey.

But there were no other animals around but white rabbits.

Oh?

That sounds odd.

Even though cheerful sunshine is pouring down in the woods and a pleasant breeze is blowing through.

There is no beast. There are no birds. I don't feel any sign of an animal.

Could it have been a little dangerous?

This place is forbidden.

It's not a wild dragon forest or a safe place with people's hands in it.

There's only a few things we know, and then there's the unspoilt nature. So you might be in danger of not knowing.

"Priscia, wait a minute"

I hurried to catch up with Priscia and caught Priscia, not the raspberry.

"Priscia is a souvenir?

"No, no, I'm not. This forest could be dangerous, so let's move."

"And Mr. Rabbit?

"Hmmm......"

I looked around, but the white rabbit was gone already.

Did you run away? Thought so.

Exploring the signs, there were no signs of raspberry.

Hmm.

What is it?

When Ares recovers it, I return to the path I came to try to get out of the woods early.

I haven't left any signposts, but if you explore the signs of the lake...

Is that it?

There are no signs of lakes, or clear signs of water.

I didn't mean to go that deep into the woods.

After all, this forest is weird.

We go through the woods vigilantly around us, but we never make it back to the lake.

At last, I activated a spatial leap in an attempt to break through the forest with my main hips on the signs that I was becoming suspicious.

Aim ahead, light overflowing in sight.

Vision only flashes for a moment, reflecting a new landscape.

I did make a spatial leap.

That's for sure.

The scenery also shows me a new landscape.

But that wasn't the landscape I expected.

"Hmm, in the woods?

"It's all right. It's all right."

In my arm, Priscia tilts her neck. Ares seemed happy for some reason.

"Mmm, we're in trouble"

I know.

About the land that can't reach its destination like this.

"I can't believe there's a lost forest here."

Stop once and check the perimeter.

Until a moment ago, it was a leaky forest, but now it's in a deep forest.

There was a stiff air and dark branches covered the forest with deep shadows.

"Brother, are you in trouble?

"Mm-hmm. I wonder. I'm pretty sure I got lost."

If this is a lost forest, you will never reach your destination if you proceed to the dark clouds, will you?

But if we don't move, nothing will change.

I'm in trouble.

The embargo is dangerous. I was wary that demons and warcraft were lurking, but I can't believe there were some of these places of confusion.

Or does the lost forest mean that someone lives here or something?

Like the Ear Elder Clan, or being like Sleighsta Old.

But I've never even heard of a witch or a giant demon king living in the Forbidden Land. If the dragon tribe of ancient species lived there, Neemia and Lily would notice.

In the meantime, I'll explore the surroundings without moving to darkness.

Concentrate and feel the discomfort of the world.

……

…………

………………… Yes! I couldn't!

The discomfort of the world?

The whole forest was full of discomfort at a time when the art of stray was being applied.

and cheeks. I find myself unexpectedly aware of the weaknesses in my new abilities, and drop my shoulders disappointingly.

"Hmm, trouble?

"Yeah. You're in trouble"

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Two of the toddler girls, with no sign of any trouble at all, were looking around in the potent weather.

Well, Priscia is the son of the woods, and Ares is the ruler of nature. Maybe it's not as much a crisis or anything as I got lost.

"Hey, Priscia. Any sign of this forest?

"Grandpa's forest?

"Yeah, the Lost Forest is the same, but it doesn't have the same vibe as the Dragon Forest"

"Hey, seriously."

"Fushi-thin, fushi-thin"

"Yes, I guess Ares is right. I guess it's because there's no sign of an animal."

The Dragon Forest is lost by the old Sleighsta, but nature is preserved. Birds and beasts live and can feel the breath of life.

But this forest doesn't feel any sign of those creatures.

Of course, I feel the life of the trees, but the animals don't work together there, so you're feeling weird.

That said, I don't feel anything like malice.

There's no sign of a horrible predator, like taking and eating those lost in the woods.

Maybe even the Ear Elders really live there?

"Hey, Priscia. Wouldn't there be any sign of the Ear Elders or something?

If it's the same race, you might feel something. And I was hoping.

Priscia shook her head after showing her a slightly clearer ear trick.

"You know what? There's nobody here."

"Really? Ares, don't you feel anything?

"Kanno Kanno Kanno"

Apparently, there's nothing nearby.

"Ugh. Then I wonder what these woods are."

Unmaintained forests seem difficult to walk in, with fallen trees or mossy rocks.

I had no choice but to make a spatial leap with Priscia and Ares in my arms.

Once you fly, you go somewhere you don't know. When you fly again, go to a place you don't even know.

Moving on or not, there are no signs of animals. Or, it doesn't even smell dangerous.

Kind of like a forest forgotten by the animals.

Priscia waited as she made several spatial leaps through the deep woods.

"What's going on?

"You know what? There's someone over there, right?

"What, someone?

That's weird, me tilting my neck.

While I was making a space leap, I was exploring the surrounding signs. I can't believe I didn't feel anything, but Priscia noticed.

"Let's go."

Ares wasn't alert, and let's go, so she activated a spatial leap in the direction that Priscia pointed to.

And I regretted it.

That's right.

This is a lost forest.

When I made the space jump, they were flying me to places I didn't know about again.

"Mmm."

and Priscia swells her cheeks and protests.

When I crushed Priscia's cheeks with my fingertips, the air leaked out of her mouth.

Lovely!

No, no, it wasn't if you were playing.

"All right, let's find that place again."

I would have gotten there if I had made the appropriate spatial leap, and I should be able to get close to that place again.

So activate the spatial leap.

Fly, get confirmation from Priscia.

If you don't feel any signs, fly again.

How big is this forest?

I don't even notice if I'm coming to the same place because the scenery changes with every spatial leap. Maybe he's just circling around the same place, or maybe he's coming to a completely different place of the embargo every time he flies.

However, wherever I flew, there was no sign of an animal, and my ability to feel the world did not function interrupted by the discomfort of the entire forest.

As I was making quite a few spatial leaps like that, Priscia reacted again.

"There's someone over there."

"Let's go."

This time it won't fail.

Without using a spatial leap, we walk in the direction indicated by Priscia.

Follow the path without a path, carefully.

Beyond the slippery slopes, bypassing the swamp and stepping on the falling leaves accumulated during the winter months.

"Mmm."

And Priscia swelled her cheeks again.

"Yeah. Eh. Have you been out in a different place again?

Looking back, the swamp I just bypassed was disappearing.

... What do you want me to do?

Once again, I find the trouble of the lost forest. [M]

One more time.

"Hang in there, hang in there"

My toddler, Priscia, puts her index finger up and gives me that kind of attention.

I did, and I nodded, and I made another spatial leap.

If this happens, I'll definitely get to you!

I was tempered and made many spatial leaps.

With that effort, we meet for the third time.

"It's over there."

It was after lunch that Priscia pointed her finger in response to someone's signs.

"Okay, now it's time"

When I tried to get in the mood, Ares burst out of my arms.

Priscia, too, gets out of my hug and stands on her own feet.

"Brother, I'll take you"

"Strawberries"

"Hardly."

Really?

I was confined to the young girls, wasn't I?

I'm more lost than a young girl. What am I...

My hands were drawn to Priscia and Ares, and I proceeded through the woods.

It's still a deep forest that's hard to walk in, but Priscia moves on like she's used to.

That's the Ear Long Clan.

You don't do anything in the woods.

In the end, I reached my destination with the help of a young girl.

And breathtaking in strange sights.

At first, I thought I was out of the woods.

Out of the depressed woods, out into the luminous square, narrowing the glare's less eyes.

But it was still in the woods there.

However, what is different is its nature.

Slightly signs of an air-starred forest turned to a clear space like the depths of a dragon forest.

Looking up at the glare, the trees around the square were spreading their branches to create the same thick ceiling.

But it feels like the sun's light is transmitting, and the light is pouring down from above.

And at the end of the plaza full of light, someone was nodding and crying.

Blonde hair, as if full of sunlight from above, has stretched too long to create a golden river from her back to the ground.

It was an adult woman rounding her thin hands and feet, getting smaller, shivering and crying.

Could it be, Ear Long Clan?

"Mm-hmm. You know what? You don't have to cry, do you?

"Okokokokoko"

"Ah."

Feminine people nodding and crying, though, don't necessarily mean they don't take hostility here.

Anyway, it's like being deep in a lost forest.

But Priscia and Ares ran over to the woman without hesitation.

And I'll gently stroke your back.

I had no choice but to follow the two of them closer to the woman.

Do you wear thin clothes or do you see the contours of your body float?

She's thinner than Lyla when we first met.

The woman is crying hard, and Priscia and Ares won't respond if she strokes her back.

"Are you all right?

I tried to speak up, but I'm still just crying.

"Uhm, what shall I do?"

Apparently, he's not a dangerous person, but if he keeps crying, he won't be able to move on.

While I was figuring out how to deal with it, Priscia and Ares were gently stroking the woman.

Then, gradually, the woman stopped crying and admired "Oh, the healing of the young girl is amazing".

A woman finally raised her face as she rinsed her nose.

Like blondes like the sun, golden eyelashes and eyebrows. And he had golden eyes.

Somewhere, like Ares.

"No, no, no."

But Ares shook her head and denied it.

"Mm-hmm. This is the Spirit of Light."

"Hey, what!?

I'm surprised at what Priscia said. [M]

I had no idea there was a Spirit of Light behind such a depressed forest.

Besides, being an adult means being a superior spirit.

"But why was Mr. Spirit of Light in a place like this, crying?

There was a preconceived notion that the place where the Spirit of Light lived was a more beautiful and glowing sacred place, so the question arose as to why he had come to this place with his mouth.

But Priscia couldn't understand my question, just lean her neck.

Could it be that Mr. Spirit of Light is the kind of spirit he is everywhere?

Speaking of which, I usually manifested myself and played in the Dragon Forest.

"No, no, no."

Ares shook her head at my thought.

"No, the Spirit of Light isn't anywhere?

"No, no, no."

Ugh. What difference does it make?

It's hard to get guidelines because if you're Ares, a young girl, it's a young thought.

I stared at the Spirit of Light, who had no choice but to stop crying because it did not give me any new information.

If I were a person, I'd be so thin that I couldn't stand anymore. My cheeks are lean and cramped.

The Spirit of Light looked at us strangely as we emerged through the lost forest.

Or he was looking at me first.

"Hello..."

"How could people...?

I heard a slight voice because there were no animals around me and they were surrounded by silence.

"Yeah, well, if you're walking, you're going into a lost forest."

"You know what? Priscia brought you here."

"... right. You couldn't get there without me."

It's the truth, but I'm a little sad.

To Priscia's words, the Spirit of Light smiled.

"Oh, you're an ear clan..."

"Your brother's a human race, isn't he? Priscia lives in the Dragon Forest."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Ahhh... Spirit of the Spirit Tree..."

Now I got a happy look at Ares.

"I did my best. Welcome home…"

The stopped tears overflow again. And I showed Priscia the green treasure balls that I was wrapping with my palms looking important.

"Now... what's your purpose..."

"Ah."

Behind the deep woods, the signs of Mr. Spirit of Light, who existed like the glow of the sun, suddenly swayed.

The way you've been clearly seen suddenly becomes translucent.

What do you want?

Why did you exist alone behind such a lost forest?

The Spirit of Light was about to disappear even though he wanted to ask and ask questions.

But Priscia didn't receive the treasure balls offered by the Spirit of Light.

To that reaction, the Spirit of Light gives a very sad look.

I don't know what it means, but the Spirit of Light wants to entrust the treasure ball to Priscia.

You should take it, I tried to encourage you.

"Mm-hmm. Priscia wants to play with you."

and a full smile, softly embracing the Spirit of Light.

"Ahhh......"

From the mouth of the Spirit of Light, exhalation leaks. And it turned into a very happy look.

Is that what you mean?

I think I underestimated Priscia. [M]

Priscia is naive and always wields everyone around her, but she's really a very sweet girl, isn't she?

Especially with Mr. Spirit. I get along with everyone.

Mr. Soil Spirit and Mr. Wind Spirit are not servants by power, they are contracted with friendship, and Ares, the Spirit of the Spirit Tree, is a great friend.

That sweet Priscia can't abandon the Spirit of Light who's about to disappear in front of you, can she?

Priscia was gently embracing the woman of the Spirit of Light and giving her spiritual power.

Apparently, he was about to disappear from the depletion of spiritual power.

Receiving Priscia's energetic spiritual power, the Spirit of Light regained the contour of her body, which was about to disappear and disappear again.

"If you eat a lot of rice, you'll feel better."

I'm sure Priscia's talking about regular food. As things stand, Mr. Spirit of Light's rice is Priscia's spiritual power.

Ares takes the purple potatoes out of the mysterious space and hands them to the Spirit of Light. Instead, he received the green treasure balls he seemed to hold dear.

"Ares, what treasure is that?

"Let it be."

"Maybe he was straying into the woods with the power of that treasure ball?

Ares nodded.

I see, was the Spirit of Light the culprit of the lost forest?

But why were you getting lost in the woods?

To see it, I think I maintained it with my presence.

"Ugh. Priscia's tired."

When the Spirit of Light restored him enough to maintain his manifestation, Priscia finally stopped embracing him. Then, on the lap of the Spirit of Light sitting around, he receives a potato from Ares and starts eating it.

The Spirit of Light also had extra time to figure out what to do with the handed potatoes, but he saw the toddlers eat them and began to imitate them.

So, don't you have my potato?

"It's gone, it's gone"

"Hardly."

Unfortunately, it seems to be out of stock.

Didn't the mysterious space contain infinitely purple potatoes -!

Speaking of which, I also ate golden potatoes at some point, and after all, they don't seem to store more than I picked.

Priscia, Ares and the Spirit of Light eat potatoes looking delicious.

I was watching it with my stomach rattling.

It's a long and questionable encounter, but can we just keep doing this now?

If the Spirit of Light and Priscia, who were doing the art of getting lost in the woods, get along, they'll hear how to get out, too.

and the weather was fine, but my thoughts were smashed, as usual.

"One rare life"

"Oh, no. Don't eat the Spirit of Light!

It was Teru, guardian of the embargo, who showed up tearing up the skies of the lost forest.
