We Live in Dragon’s Peak

"I'll have Lily back"

"Eh, old man. He is my successor. So it makes sense to train here."

"What now? Lily is still young. Let him play."

"Even if I let you play, don't you need to leave it with the old lady?

"Also, what kind of prank did you come up with? It suddenly feels worse, such as investing in the development of successors."

"It takes. Old people don't understand. I'm looking ahead too."

"What, are you dying? Then I'll give you the guidance."

I was riding on Levaria, looking down at the moss square.

Something tells me you're taking it in.

Old Sleighsta stood up unusual, stripping her fangs and intimidating the little figure standing in front of her.

But Sleighsta, the figure who stands calmly in front of the old doesn't look like he even cared about the dust of the horrible intimidation the guardians of the dragon forest show.

And Lily, the center of the topic, seemed to compare the two in such a fun way.

"All right, let's hit something else"

"I'm sorry I got involved."

Revaria returning the crunch and heel.

"Is it to be returned? You think I haven't noticed them?

"Shit, Revalia!

"Ku"

The figure standing in the moss square shifts his gaze from Old Sleighsta to us above.

Those are the eyes you shouldn't have!

It's a demon's gaze that's willing to involve us!

In a hurry to get away from this scene, Leveria roughly wings four large and small wings.

But I didn't make it.

Oh, and a flash runs in the gap between the branch leaves built by the giant tree of the spirit tree.

Shortly afterwards, a thunderbolt struck Revalia, who put me on board.

You can't avoid it, and you get lightning strikes, Revalia.

He screams and falls head-on into the moss square.

I was thrown out of Levaria's back, too, and fell unnecessarily on the moss.

"Old people don't know additions or subtractions. Have you lost your dexterity because you're too old"

"Say what. Even now, I am doing nothing wrong. If you're serious, you can burn them all."

Me and Revaria fell to the ground, but we never crashed to death. Perhaps Old Sleighsta has cushioned the impact of the fall.

But the electric shock has paralyzed my whole body, and I can't move. Is Levaria the same or is she roaring and cramping?

"Fine. Unlike the old woman, shall we heal you, who have a conscience? Well, thank me. Blink!"

"Geez!

I'm the one who screamed, of course.

Even at times like this, you just scream.

Not!

Old Sleighsta's relentless sneezing and massive runny nose swallows not only me and Revaria, but also the shadow that stood in front of them.

Yeah, that was definitely deliberate!

But the shadow that had been reading through Sleighsta's old movements was instantly moving to an unreachable range of snot floods to dodge it.

"Ho ho, trying to get me into that filthy thing is good courage"

"It's rude to be dirty. With my mercy, it will restore tension and moisture to the wrinkled old woman. Come on, let's feed you next time."

"Fine. If that's what you're going to say, I'll make a round roast dragon, too. Joy, Elnea, Lily, take it and the flying dragon there. Dinner is an ancient dragon race."

Both confronting each other.

To a one-touch situation, but Lily just makes her eyes twinkle and shine and looks like she's just enjoying watching.

"Yes, Levaria and the Demon King, that's it -!

I couldn't stop, I broke in between.

As it is, there will be further casualties.

Me or Levaria!

Out of the flood of snot, I rush to grab and stop the shadow, or the hem of the giant demon king's clothes.

And I turned my gaze to Old Sleighsta, urging him to calm down.

"What are you fighting about already? Please calm down."

If Old Sleighsta and the Titan Demon King truly break out, the sacred place will be doomed.

Then I think even Lily, who is responsible for the next generation, will have trouble.

"I'm good because I'm fun."

No, you can't!

"And, anyway, everybody calm down. Yeah, so is Revaria there."

"Shit."

Levaria, who was completely overwhelmed by Old Sleighsta's thankful secret medicine, was spreading her wings in a grumpy manner behind us.

I'm sure you want to increase the surface area that touches the air and dry it quickly.

'Cause so am I. I have a lot of runny noses all over my body.

"You mean you recognized that and grabbed my clothes, didn't you?

"Ha!?

I'm afraid, I'll see to myself.

My hand, stuck with a plush liquid, held on to the luxurious clothes of the Demon King.

And on the demon king's clothes, too, Sleighsta old snot!

"Ki, it's your fault, isn't it?

Ha ha, I laughed and tried to delude myself, but I get stared and stiff.

"Ernea, you're here to oil the fire."

"Here, Lily. I didn't mean to come here."

Me and Levaria had some important business to attend to.

I'm in a hurry.

"Ho, with errands? Understand it's a matter of joining me."

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?

"If it was an errand, it would be to me. Elnea should owe me a lot. Now, tell them that their errand is to be on my side. Say it or I'll kill you."

"What is the Demon King saying, too!?

Since then, Old Sleighsta and the Demon King, who are not about to hear about this errand, are trying to get me involved.

To the battle for Lily.

But I'm really in a hurry!

Any fights that you might be able to do in a hundred years, please wait!

"Oh, yeah! You think we should respect Lily's opinion more than both, don't you? So, which way does Lily want to follow?

It was the word I uttered to get things cleaned up, but it still only turned out to be the result of oiling the fire.

"I'm coming with you, Ernea. Looks like you're having the most fun."

"Yep!

Lily blended into my shadow as she whirled and throated adorably.

And I'm stared at by Old Sleighsta and the Demon King.

How did this happen!?

I just came to find out about the foggy monster.

We have to hurry back, Duranell's in danger.

I'm also concerned about the trends between the Divine and Heavenly tribes, and we can't keep the dangerous presence on Dragon Peak like this for long in the first place.

"Ho, with the Divine Clan?

Then Old Sleighsta, who read my thoughts, reacted.

"Fine. You seem seriously concerned about your time. Then let's hear it."

"Kuck. If you think it was rampant in the Demon Nation until the other day, is it a new commotion yet? Lily's right, it's the funniest."

The giant demon king also looked at me like I was interested when he found out I was in a commotion again.

I was prompted by both and told stories about foggy monsters.

"Hey, misty monster, maybe it's a demon, but do you know how I can disconnect you from your host?

The fog creature, he said, will regenerate indefinitely if it is not erased without leaving water droplets.

But we have to separate Duranell from the fog monster in the first place, and this one can't help it.

"Do not think of any trouble, and let both the Divine and Heavenly tribes erase their sons dragons and demons"

"Yes, the opinion without a demon king's body or lid is dismissed!

Don't get involved with the Divine and Heavenly tribes, not just Duranell.

Or even Alex of the Divine Clan said he couldn't erase the fog monster, and I'm sure he can't erase it with most of the surgery.

Luvent of the Heavenly Nation referred to Mr. Alex as the "God of Struggle," right?

I don't know what a fighting god is, but I'm guessing Mr. Alex is a strong man among the divine clans.

It's like an advanced demon or a nobleman, as I say in the Demon Clan.

"Ho, with the fighting god? I didn't know there was a descendant there..."

"Fight the gods. Well, I don't know.

"Don't your grandfather know? And yet you know the Demon King?

Apparently, even old Sleighsta doesn't know.

But the Demon King didn't give us a colorful response.

On the contrary, he looks at me with a grin like he came up with something bad.

It's dangerous!

This grin is terribly dangerous!

"Goddamn, a roundabout is a horrible thing. Ernea, if you care about the disturbances of the aftermath, kill the Divine and Heavenly Nations as I said."

"No, no, no. You can't do that. Mr. Alex may indeed be divine and inclined to look down on us, but he's also a man of good sense. So much so as to give me a respite of time."

Or is it not the Demon King trying to plot that "disturbance afterwards"?

Shit, I should have narrowed the information.

"You'll be exposed when you think of it. That would be difficult."

"It was..."

Disappointing me.

"No. The Demon King's opinion won't help. Grandpa, please. Lend me your wisdom bag."

"Hum..."

Old Sleighsta closing her golden eyes and looking for answers from the maze of thought.

But Old Sleighsta, who has protected the dragon forest for two thousand years while sometimes even choosing brutal choices, and me, who can't abandon mercy, are in a different position.

"If you are a foggy monster, you have indeed perished several times in the past. But I can't think of any way to disconnect from the host. If I were you, I would destroy every host, even if it was going to hurt my heart, and I would turn down my grief."

For Old Sleighsta, protecting the Dragon Forest and the Spirit Tree is the ultimate mission. So sometimes I meditate on hard sacrifices as well.

But what I'm looking for is not such a sad solution.

Old Sleighsta knew that, too, so he was still closing his eyes and circling his thoughts.

"If it's me or Sleigh Staffy, I'll erase all the mountains. If you mean it, you can't be the enemy. But that's not funny."

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I can't do that, either, can I?

Nevertheless, as long as Duranell and the fog monster can be separated, I also feel like the problem has been solved already.

As long as we can separate...

"If you run around the world, they may have the answer. But you don't have time."

"Yes, respite is only for today."

Mmm, and rarely does old Sleighsta roar.

You're taking me seriously.

I also wonder if the answers are embedded in my previous experience and knowledge.

The demon king, who saw us like that, grinned.

"Oh man. Apparently, they're unconscious"

"What do you mean?

To the words of the Demon King, I lean my neck.

"Let me just tell you that the thread that solves this disturbance is already there."

I already have the answer?

What the hell is the answer to that? I'd love to hear more about it, but I'm sure the Demon King won't tell me.

More than that, the Demon King uttered words of concern.

"You better think of the devil as one hassle. It's more about paying attention to the Divine Clan, the descendants of its fighting gods."

"To Mr. Alex?

"If the person is truly a descendant of the fighting god, then the real purpose is separate. And they're already involved in it."

"Yeah eh!

What the hell is the connection between me and Mr. Alex?

Instead of meeting Alex, I've never seen a god before. [M]

"Elnea, beware of divinity if you are going to set things up with the Divine Clan. Don't let the flashy performances of the moment fool you." The essence of divinity lies in the Word of God. "

"No, no, Grandpa. I don't want to compete with the gods, do I? But I've already seen the effect of that 'divine word'. The words and effects are different, right?

You were explaining it to me like Luvent was prestigious, weren't you?

"Easily put it in your mouth, it's not really a secret, you know. Even thou wilt keep the hand of thy keeper secret unto the end?

"Right."

That means the explanation of the divine art that Luvent has spoken of is only superficial, and there's nothing else you really have to be wary of, right?

Then what is the essence of it...?

"I'm not borrowing the old lady's words, but I'll tell you from me, too. You already have your own answer. It's a real challenge."

"Yes!"

I couldn't get a specific way to separate Duranell from the fog monster.

But there was a harvest.

I already have the answer. [M]

Neither Old Sleighsta nor the Demon King can tell us any more about what the answer is.

If it's both, wipe out every host. I guess that's the easy solution, and if you don't like it, then think for yourself.

At the same time as the advice, the harshness also sticks out.

But if I don't get over it, I won't get through the rest of my long life.

I lose my mind naturally to the kindness hidden behind the words of Old Sleighsta and the Demon King.

"Thank you. Good luck finding the thread for the resolution!

To my deepest gratitude, I turned my toes to Revaria.

But behind my back, there are signs of a demon king with a grin.

Revaria throats on alert.

"Kuck. You think I'd easily miss the fact that I'm in a very interesting situation?

"What is the Demon King saying...?

I have a bad feeling about it.

But I can't help looking back.

Confirming his back in the face of tension, his gaze overlapped with that of the demon king with the grin of an evil demon.

"You said it was due today, didn't you? Then I'll get in their way and make sure they don't make it home by the deadline."

"What..."

"If you want to make it, get desperate and get away with it."

"Yeahhh!

Apparently, we need to do something about the Demon King before dealing with the fog monsters and visitors from the south.

I screamed and fled before the Demon King.
