We Live in Dragon’s Peak

"Ludriard, it's your brother's conspiracy."

"It's Brother Ludriard's plot."

Ufiria and Nina say that Mr. Rudriard apparently knew beforehand about the anomalies that had occurred in this inn. So I pushed the problem on us, and I pulled my hand out of trouble.

Possible!

That Mr. Ludriard would.

Nevertheless, this is not the case if we are talking about conspiracy theory now.

First, we have to do something about this critical situation.

"Ernea, shouldn't we leave here for once?

"Yeah, I agree with Mistral."

Although there were no life or physical abnormalities, it is a situation in which there are victims in the body. Keeping everyone safe is a priority rather than staying in the inn like this and trying to solve the problem, right?

Besides, if Mr. Rudriard really knew about this inn problem, we'd have to get some information from him.

Well, maybe we don't even have to work out the anomalies in the inn in the first place.

So we move quickly.

Ufiria and Nina can hold Luiseine and Lyla, who are losing their minds. Mistral and I gathered everyone's bags and assembled in the center of the room.

And everyone touches me.

"Well, I'll be there!

Emergency exit!

I activated the spatial jump.

I don't bother, I don't need to walk out the front door the same way I did when I came. Because I can use spatial leaps.

In an instant, from the room you are staying in to off the property of the inn.

But my thoughts ended in failure.

"Oh no... no way!

I did activate a spatial leap.

Signs are impossible to find, but turn your consciousness off the property of the inn.

If it had been, we would have moved outside in just a moment.

Yet...

"Ernea, your space jump failed."

"Elnea, your space jump didn't go off."

Yes. As Yufiria and Nina put it.

We just vanished for a moment in the center of your room. However, the location that emerged at the next moment was the position before the spatial jump was activated.

"Weird, one more time!

Again, I activate a spatial leap.

But the results were with the first.

"It activated fine when I rushed into your room..."

Just in case, I tried activating a short-range spatial leap by myself.

From the center of your room, to the hallway.

Then, now the spatial leap was activated without any problems, and I appeared in the hallway.

So, what if you're with everyone?

Now, with everyone, I'll try to activate a short-range spatial leap.

Just like last time, from the center of your room to the hallway.

Then again, the spatial leap was a success without any problems.

Then we'll try to escape again.

Next up, off the property of the inn.

But the results didn't change.

For some reason, trying to make a space jump off the premises of your mansion will fail.

The spatial jump itself activates, but the jump destination isn't where it's supposed to be, and it doesn't move from its original position.

I also tried it and found that the spatial leap failed when I tried to get out of the building, as opposed to outside the premises of your mansion.

Furthermore, the seriousness of the situation did not remain just that.

"Ha!

If you can't make a spatial leap, force moves!

With full force, Mistral knocks an iron fist into the window.

But the windows don't even suffer fine dust damage, as opposed to being crushed.

A building that doesn't break even Princess Dragon's fist, although it's not the one handed stick of pitch black. That was nothing but an anomaly.

"So we've been imprisoned in this inn by some force?

Afterwards, I made some confirmations, just me and Mistral and Uphilia and Nina left.

The results obtained are then attributed to Mistral's allegations.

We nod with a strange look at Mistral's allegations.

"It won't even open the window that leads outside."

"There's nothing wrong with connecting the building."

Anyway, I can't get out of here.

However, the movement in the building could not be effected and no trap was set that would inhibit the movement.

"What the hell is going on?

It's a curse.

It's a ghost.

"Yep!

No way, this inn is cursed by evil spirits and we are haunted prisoners!?

From the point of view of the Temple religion, all those who have lost their lives are equally summoned to the Goddess, waiting for the next rebirth.

But there are untrained in this world, or there are souls that are forced into this world by art, as Goldba, the Necromancer who fought against the past, did?

Then we were driven into an impenetrable state by evil spirits possessed by this inn?

And what we wait for afterwards is a coma for all.

Now it's time to just faint, but I doubt if the evil spirits will keep us all at ease after they invite us to sleep.

Maybe they'll suck a little bit of life out of the sleepers!

I swallow sauce and sauce.

Then Mistral dropped his shoulder and pointed it out.

"Yes, yes, neither Yuffi nor Nina scare Elnea so much. In the first place, I still have fundamental questions about your allegations from the beginning."

Oh. Detective Mistral apparently noticed the discomfort in this situation.

"Mostly. As if it was a Ludriard conspiracy. Although it is understandable to send us to such a dangerous inn. In the first place, if the inn was a dangerous place, the employees would be evacuating from the beginning, right?

"Ha! Speaking of which?

"Besides, we all checked earlier though. Not only Louiseine and Lyla, but the employees are just asleep, and there's nothing else in their lives or bodies? If Rudriard knew about the inn problem beforehand, wouldn't he be keeping his employees evacuated?

Calm down and find out, you'll see.

Everyone who fainted in this inn, they're just sleeping, aren't they?

There's no such thing as diminishing vitality or even having nightmares.

Well, I can't abandon the possibility of letting all of us faint and then gradually do evil, but Mistral's allegations were targeted.

"That means. This isn't about Mr. Rudriard pushing us, it's about a sudden anomaly, right? So, what's the killer's purpose...?

What the hell are those who caused this anomaly after?

But before we proceed with the reasoning.

With thighs, Ufiria and Nina held her crotch in a little embarrassment and stared at me like I was in trouble.

"I'd love to go wash my hands."

"I want to go pee."

"Not at all, you guys. Because you drink so much alcohol."

Oh, boy, a bittersweet mistral.

It's a situation where Louiseine and Lyla are unconscious in their bodies, but so far, it's unlikely that this will be any worse. So, I wonder if I could afford a little bit of room in my heart.

Mistral doesn't get angry, even as he grins bitterly at words and deeds that have no fruit or lid like Ufiria and Nina.

"If the two of us act together, would it be safe? Here you go."

Nevertheless, acting alone is still dangerous. So Ufiria and Nina went to wash their hands together and me and Mistral were to wait in your room.

"It would be safer if we all went to the bathroom."

"It's safer for all of us to act together."

There was a statement by Ufiria and Nina that

Well, I'm a boy. Besides, I don't have a hobby for peeking into someone's wash.

So I decided to break up into two groups and act...

Quiet inn with no sign of anyone working.

Me and Mistral will be waiting for Uffilia and Nina, who went to wash their hands while watching over Luiseine and Lyla.

But you two never come back.

"Did you even break it in your stomach?

"Only those two don't have it."

Unlike me and Mistral, the twin princesses are so strong in alcohol. You can't imagine those two getting sick with just long water and a small amount of alcohol, can you?

Then what's causing it to be hard to come back...

"Mistral!"

"Yeah, don't be alarmed!

Me and Mistral snort at each other and jump out of your room in a hurry.

And run for a washroom for women.

"No!"

"No way, even Yuffi and Nina..."

It was in the middle of a long hallway.

Were you on your way back from washing your hands?

Or are you on your way?

Anyway.

When we rushed.

Already, Ufiria and Nina had passed out in the hallway.

Keep them close together.

"It's like right after you're scared of something."

If you ask me, I might.

Yufiria and Nina are very close to each other with twins.

But I don't suppose we have the kind of hobbies that you'd cuddle on the road to wash your hands with.

If the two of them were to hug each other in the hallway. Isn't that when some kind of threat strikes suddenly and frightens you?

So, who is the person who attacked you?

I can't believe it not only frightens Ufiria and Nina, but also makes her faint without making her resist.

"I'll think about it later. Let's get you both back to your rooms first."

"Yeah. We'll go back with care, too."

Peel off tightly cuddled Ufiria and Nina. And Mistral and I, we held each other back and went back to the room.

"Hey, Mistral. What am I gonna do?

I can't believe we're doing this so much damage unilaterally.

Not only Luiseine and Lyla, who would have been stuck by surprise, but even Ufiria and Nina, who had recognized that an anomaly was occurring, fell.

When this happens, is it me or Mistral next?

When we both fall, there's no one left to solve the problem anymore.

Support from the outside may be difficult.

Anyway, over the next few days, the inn will be ours.

There is no chance that a new customer will arrive and notice an anomaly.

In that case, Mistral and I will still have to make it through this.

"Anyway, it's forbidden to act alone. Don't fail to be vigilant."

"And we have to find out who did it."

"Yeah, that's important."

Even I can't confirm my suspicious existence by exploring the signs.

Does that mean that the target is fairly hands-on, or is it just an anomaly, and the killer doesn't exist in the first place?

No, just one more thing, you had a chance!

I come up with a flash here.

"In the first place, it may not be the crime of an outsider"

"Saying?

Mistral listens back as he sleeps the fallen four in the futon.

"You know, not just me, but Mistral must be looking for signs of the killer."

There can't be so many people who can completely hide the signs from me, the Dragon King, and Mistral, the Dragon Princess.

If there were such a person, we wouldn't be able to beat the heck out of ourselves with a lot of skill and no weapons.

But isn't this unlikely?

It's a familiar existence, and when it comes to those who can outrun us, I think of giant demon kings and Charlotte, but those two have already left.

Exactly, I couldn't seem to be away from the country for days during the busy start of the year.

Apart from the two of us, there's a chance that the unknown may exist, but the motive for the crime is diminished, right?

If you want to compete head-on with us, you shouldn't take this kind of praise.

It's only by competing from the front that we can measure each other's strength, and suddenly the unknown won't say anything about us being raided.

When that happens, there's still no point in reasoning that someone is lurking in hiding and putting everyone to sleep without meaning?

So where is the killer and what is the purpose?

So I figured.

"We haven't had a few innkeepers in the first place, have we?

"When you ask me, right? I know the signs, but that's because I was in an inn and they were normal people."

"Yes. There, I guess there was a pitfall!

We can't find any sign of someone. [M]

I wasn't, and I noticed signs from the start. Except I didn't think that was the killer, and I overlooked it.

"Does that mean the killer is among the employees who pretend to have fallen?

"I think it's possible."

"So, what's the motive?

"Yeah, well, this is an unsubstantiated guess. If you can defeat us, don't you think you can sell us names?

Listeers, brave men. Though not as good as your line.

Me and my family are famous in the kingdoms of Armuad and Yortenitos.

The foil that knocked us down should shine quite brightly.

But that's where the problem comes in.

You can be proud of your track record of knocking us down. But if you kill or hurt us, instead of foiling us, you might instead buy resentment from many sides.

So I guess there's nothing like just letting you faint, aim for your life or get hurt?

"Wouldn't that be a good guess? Even when it comes to battles, competing for moves isn't everything. Those who make aid and support their business will appreciate the fact that they have rendered us powerless with praise rather than with strength. And if the employees were the killers, they wouldn't have been wary of Louiseine or Lyla."

Mistral snorts at my thoughts.

"So, among the employees, after all?

You need to check it out.

We had nothing but worries about ourselves, and we hadn't even looked into the employees' details earlier.

But when this happens, you need to make sure that everyone is sure.

"Okay. When this happens, we'll do a thorough investigation"

The killer is not a haunted or evil spirit.

And I don't want to compete with us.

Nevertheless, this is the situation.

Warning enemies.

I will explore your room to see if I have a weapon to protect myself.

You can cut the bar, or whatever it is anyway.

Mistrals also seem to want the means to defend themselves, fishing for their luggage.

So only at this moment, me and Mistral disappeared from each other's sight.

That, they targeted a few moments!

"Oh, you are!

I look back at the words of Mistral, stuffed with wings.

But it was too late.

Falling apart without force, Mistral.

Looking back, even Mistral fainted.
