We Live in Dragon’s Peak

"... tough. This storm. Besides, the Flying Dragon Knights have paid to tell the previous raid"

"It doesn't seem to be a situation where it will be raided immediately. It just seems like the Great Forest is filled with demons."

"The western side of the Great Forest is a nest of demons. Maybe he was inspired by the ear elders who came and went there."

Philelle was also returning to the fort in this storm.

If you ask me, it seems Yugra-like it was Yugra who persuaded Levaria to go into the dragon stables to insist that she spend time outside even in the storm.

Knock it off.

There's Revaria in the stables, isn't there? Let's talk about this next time, because I'm not thinking about it!

And well, whatever the joke is.

I told Grave what Lily told me. [M]

But as Master Grave said, there are no more Flying Dragon Knights left in this fort, so I can't fly a rush order.

In the first place, it's this storm, so flying is tough when it comes to flying dragons, isn't it?

"Anyway, let's get ready for interception. Hey, tell this to the soldiers right away!

To Master Grave's order, the soldiers who had refrained began to move agile.

"So, what are you gonna do?

"Just me, I'm thinking of hurrying to the ground. Lily can fly over the clouds, and I'm worried about the forest."

"You treat Lily badly, don't you?"

Let's silence Lily's voice from the shadows.

It's my fault, it's empty ears.

"Right...... Elnea, what did you think of the Elder Ear story?

"What do you say?

I told Master Grave what I needed. So when I tried to get back to myself, yes, Master Grave spoke to me.

"I don't know if what that woman or old man told me is a lie or a truth. But if that story is true, I think this could be a problem for the kingdom of Yortenitos in the future."

"... Giants, huh?

"Yes."

Giants looking to expand their territory.

The Great Forest is so vast that it is unlikely that the Giants will reach the end of the West in less than a few decades. But beyond that. What happens if, in a few hundred years, people and giants meet?

Master Grave initially seemed to wonder if we could discuss a compromise with the giants pioneering the Great Forest just like ourselves. But if it's the kind of race that invades the ear clan until it's set in a trap, people can't stand it long either.

Of course, this has always been a story of the future, and when the human race and the giants actually meet, it will not only be the Graves of the human race, but also the Gong Wang who rules the giants.

Nevertheless, I don't know because it's about a distant future, which I can never say as a governor.

We're not talking about improving our relationship with the Dragon Nation overnight either, and this is the job of the people who rule the country, who look more than a hundred years ahead and act now when they do bad things for decades.

"I still don't see the whole picture of this commotion. But depending on what happens, I'll be forced to make a decision."

"That's, like, national policy, right?

"Oh. So, I'll tell you what. I can't move without darkness. Instead, you look, you listen. I'll believe you with your eyes, ears and mouth."

"Thank you"

"Admit it if you make some discretionary moves. Check it out."

"Does that mean that you leave some of the things involved in the policy of the Kingdom of Yortenitos to me?!?

No, no, that's too much trust in me, no matter how much.

Until recently, I was solicited by the Demon King, wasn't I?

"Elnea, it's amazing how much you trust your brother! I'm going to move with Uncle Yugra, too. Good luck with each other."

"Ugh, yeah."

"Good luck."

Come on, Lily.

You think I'm human resources, and you're laughing without knowing how hard I work?

I was motivated without being told, but I shouldn't have suddenly had heavy shoulders if I were to be expected directly from the next king like this.

Master Grave left with me, eagerly.

When Philelle gets in the mood too, she goes somewhere early.

I went back to the room where the Mistrals were waiting, in the footsteps that were getting heavy.

"... so I'm going to the woods ahead of Lily!

"So it's not, Elnea."

"Guru."

I'll go back to my room and talk to Lady Grave. Then the Mistrals worried me.

"Mr. Ernea, the storm is getting a lot more intense. It's dangerous."

"Dear Ernea, you'd better head after the storm passes."

"If you go now, you will leave Yun behind."

"If you go now, you'll leave Priscia behind."

Mr. Yun is still asleep. If it's a deep sleep coming from debilitation, maybe two or three days won't wake up.

Nor is there any indication that the storm is likely to subside soon.

Hence, the thick shaking doors in small pieces were telling the story of the intensity of the storm outside.

"Still, I'm going to go. If the demons are coming at us in large numbers, we may have to turn to reinforcement in some cases. If you do that, you'll be unnecessarily unable to move, and you won't be able to cooperate with Mr. Yung."

"Elnea is going to help these ear elders, isn't she?

"Mr. Carly, I really don't look like Mr. Yun is a bad person."

"The woman who contraindicated...... Sure, if you listen to me, I didn't make a mistake with my personal lust..."

"People can also be criminals, large and small, if they break the laws set by the state. Besides, when it comes to the contraindications of the people, I have the priesthood in my hands, and there's something about it. But I don't think anyone has the authority to deny anyone who commits a crime or contraindication the opportunity to redeem them, and I think it's a mistake to punish them all."

"This woman still has an opportunity to atone for her sins," he said?

"Mr. Yun has ravaged and damaged the fort. You may indeed have eaten the Spirit. But it was all for someone, not a selfish desire. Of course, if Yun's story is true,"

"Ernea believes this woman, doesn't she?

"At least for now, I'm going to try to believe it. And I'm headed to the woods to see if Mr. Yun's story is true or false."

The stories we have heard from Mr Yun and Mr Gorigal are only from a unilateral point of view. Then I feel like I have to listen to you from a different point of view in order to support you.

It seems that the Ear Elders that Lily was tracking me are still on the western side of the Great Forest and struggling with the demons in the storm. Then I want to make contact before I lose sight of it.

This could be a good opportunity to move on at once.

When Mr. Carly hears my words with a difficult face, he turns his gaze to Yun, who sleeps.

"... then I'll go too"

"What!?

"There's no way I, the Ear Elder, can't move when Ernea the People is going. And as Ernea says, let's try to find out the truth about things. I make a lot of decisions from then on"

I was surprised at Mr. Carly's unexpected offer, but I nodded.

Yun's problem is also that of the Ear Long Clan.

When I got confirmation from Lily, it didn't change either one or both of us, so I set off with Mr. Carley.

"I'm coming!

Slightly open the heavy iron door. As each person finally walked out of the fort from enough clearance to get through, the pounding rain struck us relentlessly. A cold, strong wind stabbing you reaches your skin through thickly dressed cold equipment and raincoats.

It's cold!

"This one, too, looks at the situation and moves. Don't push me."

"Yeah, I'll be careful."

It's dark outside, and the storm can't keep my eyes open properly. Still, when we greeted the Mistrals who dropped us off, we jumped into Lily's back from the shadows.

"I'll go. Hold on tight."

Lily feathered forcefully amidst the brisk wind and rain.

I feel the rise of my body, unlike the flutter and the floating feeling coming from the transverse wind. In the dark, Lily ascends to the clouds that cover the sky. At the same time, a powerful bond overshadows us as we move to Lily's back.

That's Lily's blessing.

The strong wind that was hitting us just now soothes us. Large amounts of rain fall, as always, but it's just gratifying that the storm has eased.

"Is this the ability of the Dragon Clan of the ancient species"

"I felt it when I was coming, but not so much."

"Don't be alarmed, Mr. Carly, Mr. Kate,"

In the end, I even followed Mr. Kate, not just Mr. Carly.

For the time being, I wanted to leave some spiritual hand practice in the fort, but Kate feels the same way about Mr. Carly, and seems to want to make sure of things with his own eyes.

Next to me, Mr. Carly and Mr. Kate stick tight to Lily. These two and I are headed to the woods ahead of the storm.

Lily accelerates the rate of ascent and enters the black cloud. Bubble, and thrust through stormy clouds that feel viscous, instantly onto the clouds.

Then a strange sight popped into our eyes.

Look up, a starry sky full of sky.

But when I peered downstairs, the creepy clouds continued all the way ahead.

"The stars are close."

"If it wasn't for this moment, you'd be drunk with the spectacular scenery."

"I don't have time to be lenient."

Regardless of the storm clouds under your eyes, Mr. Carly and Mr. Kate are touched by the starry sky full of light despite the late night.

But when Lily starts flying east, she returns to her serious face.

You two are warriors.

He seems to be a hands-on man going to war, and shows no signs of strangeness or anxiety at all. Maintain a critical posture so that whenever the battle begins. Or is he nervous enough to have force on his shoulder?

Lily is an ancient species of dragon-like high-speed flight, heading east.

But the storm cloud sea is spreading, and we have no idea where we're flying right now.

Unlike me like that, Lily seems to have a good grasp of her position and proceeds without getting lost. And he descended again toward the storm cloud.

"Be careful - It's not just the storm down there, it's the demons."

"Lily, head as close as you can to where the Ear Elders are"

I'll take care of it.

Lily breaks through thick clouds all at once, just as she did when she rose. It instantly turns from starry sky to stormy landscape, and rain and wind blow.

There's no freezing cold because Lily's protection is constantly covering us, but we're in the middle of winter. I'm sure it would be cold if I got off Lily, I don't have time to think about it, and I could see the forest trees swinging violently in the dark at night.

No, no, no. It's not a storm. It sounds strange.

If you look, there were countless strange creatures flying around in this storm.

It's a thin, tubular, worm-like demon!

The translucent body is long and the whole thing is about several times as long as a person. You have no hands, no legs, no face, only a mouth with creepy lined fangs is on the tip.

Because of my translucent body, I can see the core Demon Crystal. But it seems that each individual is present in a different position, near the mouth or in the middle of a long torso.

And even though there are no wings, a tubular demon that flies through the sky twisting and shaking his body like a snake. The demon was flying around countless times in the storm.

Disgusting!

You noticed Lily descending sharply, and the tubular demons gathered from all around her, they attacked us.

"It's really disgusting, isn't it?"

Lily reads my mind and answers cheerfully. But the movement is the opposite of that.

When you open your mouth wide, it aggregates the different digits of dragon air. And unleash it with a thunderous roar.

A darker black sphere than the darkness at night showered and poured down on the monster that had struck me.

No, no, it sounds creepy again. Is it a scream, a toothpick, or a disconnect?

Unlike the rain that falls on the sidelines, the black sphere, which falls unaffected by the storm, when touched by demons, causes a pair of extinctions to disappear.

It's a plain sight with no explosions or flashes, but it's immensely powerful.

The rain of black spheres with no escape clearance drastically reduced the number of tubular demons that were flying around.

Lily passes fast through a gap in the tubular demon leaking from the rain range of the black sphere.

I stare at the state of the woods as they approach me while I look at them. Then I saw signs of a slight light flashing even in the dark.

"The Spirit of Light!

"You can't go down with a dragon giant like this. All right, I'm gonna jump!

"Yes!?

Mr. Kate, we're still way up in the woods, and I don't have time to say that I'm pulled off Lily's back by Mr. Carley and Mr. Kate.

"Come on in."

"Ahhh."

I can't fly.

If you fall from such altitude, you're dead!

But Mr. Carly and Mr. Kate, who jumped off Lily with me, have an extra look.

"I will serve the Spirit of the Wind!

"Even if you can't fly, you can mitigate the impact."

"I wanted you to say that first!

This storm. The spirits of the wind seemed to exist many around them.

When Mr. Carly uses the Spirit of the Wind, he can create a buffer of the Wind around us.

It sure doesn't look like you can fly or float, but the descent rate has slowed down rapidly.

"No!"

We descend slowly into the woods.

Then the surviving tubular demons gathered again, this time attacking me for this one.

Mr. Kate serves the Spirit. Horizontal beating rain grains turn into hard, sharp debris (crushed), piercing demons.

When Mr. Carley set up the bow and arrow, he instantly shot through the horns of several demons.

Lily also puts in cover from the sky.

He plunges into a herd of demons and ravages them with dragon claws and fangs.

For the Dragon tribe of the ancient species, it seems that no matter how many demons there are to this extent, they are not a threat.

The demon runs away screaming, but Lily kicks relentlessly. Enough to even have demons that just disappear after hitting Lily flying around at high speeds.

Thanks to Lily, Carly and Kate, I'm going into the woods to keep my powers warm.

"What!?

"Now it's an empty tease"

"People?

The three of us will land safely without any strong shock. Waiting there were several ear clans.
