We Live in Dragon’s Peak

'Oh, oh, my helpless daughter. How can you defeat a demon like that?

The presence of the Spirit King of the Wind is invisible to the Beastmen.

But in Isterisia's sight, it was clearly visible.

The Spirit King of the Wind points to the Mud Demon.

Mud demons crawl slowly through the ground looking for their next prey.

"Anyway, run! His movements are dull. Don't stand indoors, run!

An Orc tribe, who was an Isterisian escort, flies evacuation instructions to the villagers of the deer species.

The Beastmen of the Deer Species scream, yet flee the demons.

But there were many in this village who could not escape, even though the instructions were in their ears.

Those who lie ill.

And those who were nursing also remained indoors, unable to abandon their sick parents, brothers, children and lovers.

When the demon sensibly perceives the signs of the Beastman clan trapped indoors, he rises high again like a great wave and tries to swallow every building.

"Let it be!

A warrior of the Beast clan storms into a muddy demon.

And wave down the battle axe toward the bright red eyes that rose and dew.

The battle axe hit the demon's eyes with momentum.

But it was the Beast Warriors who screamed.

The demon takes the battle axe into the mud with every arm of the warrior he waves down, melting all the iron and meat.

A warrior who lost his way from his elbow screamed and rolled to the ground, wandering around.

A companion rushes in and breaks between the demon and the wounded Beastman tribe, helping out.

"Melee, no!

Swords and axes do not work on mud demons that melt everything they touch.

Or, even if you release an arrow remotely, it doesn't make sense.

Still, the warriors of the Beast clan try to fight resolutely.

From a distance away, a warrior waving a fleshy two-handed sword. Shockwaves are emitted from the tip of the sword, striking directly at the demon.

But the demon doesn't look like he cared about the shock waves or anything, and with no more prey to come close, he moves to swallow the private house again.

"Stop. Whoa!

The Beasts scream.

But they were helpless.

Physical attacks don't work and even the technique of putting beast power on them doesn't work.

A private house is about to be swallowed up in front of a bunch of beasts who can't even take the devil's attention.

Isterisia was moving aggressively.

When you activate a space jump, you jump into a private house without hesitation.

Istericia moved indoors in an instant.

"If you are a resident, where are you!?

Scream.

I don't have time.

It's a small private house.

The jumping spot is a qualitative living room.

Then, from a bedroom-like place in the back, I heard a fine voice.

"Right here. But your mother..."

It was a familiar voice.

Istericia hurries into the bedroom.

"Sister!

A deer breed girl with an innocent smile on Isterisia was crying beside her bedside.

And on the bedside, a lean, pale deer breed woman.

"I'll give you a hand, I'll get you out of here."

And that's when I was about to say.

Mishi, and the house made a murmuring noise.

"Sister, I'm scared!

Crying, a girl hugs Istericia.

The odor on his nose came indoors, along with the noise of mistletoe, smudge and crushing from above.

The demon is covering and crushing everything in this building right now.

Come on, we have to get out of here!

I don't have time to run and escape in charge of the sick anymore.

It's barbaric, but we just have to use spatial leaps.

"First, I will take the sick mother. Straw, I can only fly one at a time due to lack of experience. You'll just wait a little while, won't you?

I don't know what Isterisia's words mean, and the girl leans her neck in tears.

When Isterisia smiled at such a girl, she touched the woman lying on the floor.

Leaving a girl, Istericia activates a spatial leap with a woman.

In the next moment, Isterisia and the woman were moving to a safe place outdoors.

"Whoa!?

The Beasts round their eyes and marvel at the appearance of Isterisia, who reappeared with the sick, at the arrow tip, which suddenly thought it had disappeared.

But Istericia doesn't have time to explain the situation at length, or to turn a blind eye to a woman who gets bored by her first spatial leap.

Seeing, the demon had already wrapped up the whole building and started to melt.

Setting the coordinates behind the house taken in by the demon, Istericia activated the spatial leap.

In an instant, Istericia returned to her earlier bedroom.

Indoors, it was the girl screaming and sobbing in her ears, frightened by the sudden disappearance of her mother and Isterisia.

"It's okay now. Now it's your turn."

Say, it was when Isterisia hugged the girl.

"Ahhh!

The roof collapses and mud rain falls indoors.

It was an aggressive reaction.

I couldn't afford to activate a spatial leap.

Instead, Isterisian defensive instincts reacted.

Unconsciously, Istericia stretched her boundaries with powerful spiritual power.

one hair at a time. Mud rain was inhibited by the spiritual junction.

But indoors that were not included in the conjuncture shall be turned into hell.

A sleeping area where women lay until earlier dissolves unbroken in mud rain.

Floors and furniture are all melted by mud, not just by roofs and walls.

The deer breed girl sees our home swallowed by mud and screams in earache.

Istericia held such a girl hard and whispered as gently as she could.

"It's okay. Wow, I'm going to help you."

Istericia covering the girl.

Embrace so that the horrible tragedy of the outside world doesn't get into the girl's sight.

'Oh, oh, my helpless daughter. Even if you're stuck in the shell that way, things won't work out'

There, once again, it was the Spirit King of the Wind who had spoken the truth.

Istericia herself, had noticed.

My mistakes and my helplessness.

It's raining mud, that time.

You should have suppressed your defensive instincts trying to defend yourself and forced it to activate a spatial leap.

In that moment, fate was ordained.

The circumstantial decision to "escape" was defeated by self-defense to "protect".

You may be right to say that you have lost yourself to the imminent fear of death.

But it's too late.

Istericia has delayed her escape and has tied her boundaries with all her might.

Looking only at the local consequences, it can also be said that we could have protected ourselves and the girl from the mud rain that melts everything. But at that price, spatial leaps and other spiritual arts became unusable.

I hear unpleasant noises in my ears, melting the house I took in.

In addition, the demon was beginning to erode the juncture.

In an attempt to melt and devour Isterisia and the girl, increase the density of the mud and apply pressure to the junction.

Now, if we don't do everything in our power to maintain our bonds, we can't stand the mud erosion.

If we split spiritual power in an attempt to activate a spatial leap, the junction will be melted at that moment, and we will be devoured.

"Sister, I'm scared..."

"It's okay. Because it will definitely help. The goddess will not abandon the straw."

And from beside what I'm saying, there's a small hole at the top of the junction.

Pottery, and mud descended like Shizukuishi.

Shizukuishi of mud falls to the back of Isterisia covered in an attempt to protect the girl.

"Ew!!

Istericia is about to scream at the severe pain of dissolving her skin and burning meat.

But if I scream in agony here and now, instead of making the girl anxious, in the worst case, the two will be eaten by demons.

Istericia repairs the breakdown of the junction while withstanding severe pain.

The apex hole was blocked by squeezed spiritual power.

"Goddess......?

The girl was shrinking and trembling in Isterisia's chest.

Apparently, the girl didn't understand the current crisis.

Istericia caresses her chest down with relief, while disturbing her breath with the severe pain that strikes her back.

In the arms of Isterisia, there is one little, life.

If Istericia lets go, she disappears in an instant, a weak life.

But I'll make sure to protect this little, weak life.

Istericia is strongly determined.

And in an attempt to give some peace to the frightened girl's heart, Istericia told a freshly remembered fairy tale.

The story of the moon and the stars.

A story about a star in the sea falling in love with a full moon floating in the night sky.

of a healthy child witch, a great adventure.

Istericia told and made heard many stories in a mud-covered junction.

The girl listened to the story, trembling in Isterisia's arms.

I would have told you some fairy tales.

How long has it been?

But the situation had not changed.

No, rather for a moment and things get worse.

Although Isterisia and the girl are protected by the kingdom, their surroundings remain surrounded by mud.

The demon had eroded the juncture over time, as if to mock the two people he had taken in.

Occasionally, there is a small hole in the ceiling of the junction.

The demon drops a few drops of mud from it.

Shizuku of mud falling within the conjunction with pompous, pompous, descends to Isterisia.

Mud bakes the skin of Istericia every drop and dissolves the meat.

Each time, Istericia squeezes out her spiritual powers and blocks the hole in the junction, biting off screams.

But the limits were about to come.

No, the limits were already crossed.

The depletion of spiritual power was more deeply understood by Isterisia herself than anyone else.

Original spiritual art refers to the technique of having the Spirit substitute for a technique that cannot be achieved by giving spiritual power to the Spirits.

But there is no Spirit to help Isterisia today.

Unable to harness the power of the Spirit, Isterisia relied solely on her own spiritual power to activate her spiritual art.

That way, what happens.

The answer was obvious from the beginning.

Early, depletion of spiritual power.

Spiritual power must continue to drool constantly in order to maintain the bond beyond the benefit of amplification of surgery by the Spirit.

Already, the spiritual power of Isterisia was bottomed.

I flipped an empty vessel, squeezed it further, and finally, it was a situation where I was able to maintain my boundaries.

'Oh, oh, poor girl. Acts without salvation are futile, hypocrisy is only self-satisfying'

Still, Istericia smiles at her temperament and tells the story in an attempt to reassure the girl a little.

And even as Isterisia continued to protect the girl, the Spirit King of the Wind continued to speak the truth.

'Reality is not sweet. The world is spicy. You'll know all about it. Still, do you believe they will be saved, forgiven?'

Even in a world closed to mud, Isterisia regarded the Spirit King of the Wind in her sight.

Then a sight popped into my eyes that just seemed strange to Isterisia today.

"Hey, Father Spirit. Leave this woman alone and play with us. '

"Well, Mother Spirit. Don't worry about a woman like that, let's have some fun. '

Speaking of fairytales, the spirits, who had so far not even made themselves feel signs, appeared before the Spirit King and Isterisia several times.

"I'm sure you're jealous because for a long time, the Spirit King cares about the fright, not the spirits"

To the Spirit, the Spirit King is the Father, Mother and Sublime Being.

They don't like the fact that the Spirit King is mindful of an abominable Isterisia, not to ourselves. So, reluctantly, he appears before Isterisia, trying to take away the Spirit King of the Wind.

If you try from Isterisia, it would be spiritually more appreciated if the Spirit King, who speaks the truth and decides his heart, left.

But the Spirit King of the Wind did not intend to leave from before Isterisia, even when he received the words of the Spirits of the Son.

'Oh, oh, my helpless daughter. Spread that little life at the end of self-satisfaction'

Heh heh, and Istericia, she smiled.

Seeing a deer breed girl trembling in her own chest, she felt what a little life it was. But if you look from the Spirit King of the Wind, you're a "little life" too.

"Daughter, smile"

The Spirit King of the Wind, who saw the smile of Isterisia, asks.

Disrespectful, Isterisia feared that she had touched the scales, but the unexpected reaction of the Spirit King of the Wind made me laugh zero again.

Right, Istericia realizes.

"The Spirit King of the Wind. The words of the Spirit of the Wind King are painfully true to straw. But straw, I'm not confused anymore."

Little lives have little sparkles of life.

From the point of view of the Spirit King of the Wind, I wonder how little life you or a deer breed girl are.

But no matter how small it is, it is the "life" that only breathes into this world.

And the living must continue to walk in this world as long as they have life, no matter how harsh it may be.

What I want to escape from is not a lie.

It is true that I want to divert my attention.

I want to be forgiven. I want to be saved.

It's all true, and that's the long-eared clan called Istericia.

"But..."

Istericia strongly embraces the "little life" girl trembling in her arms as she withstands the severe pain in her back and the pain of deciding her heart.

And I looked firmly at the Spirit King of the Wind.

"Straw, I'm a witch. Serve the goddess as a witch and do it for the world. And now I swear to my heart that I will do everything in my power to protect the radiance of this girl's life seeking salvation in her soft arms!

No matter how harsh you may be, you will not escape your sins.

I don't distract you.

Let us diligently seek the path of forgiveness and continue to make amends.

Still, the Spirit will not forgive himself.

But just because you are not forgiven, you are not saved, you can never stop walking, etc.

Because that's the first path you've chosen for yourself in your life.

And above all, we cannot overlook those who are seeking salvation in front of us, etc.

As an ear elder clan.

As a person.

As a witch.

"So, straw, I will definitely try to save this child!

To the Spirit King of the Wind, who stands in front of him, Istericia says strongly.

To the great, unshakeable oath of the little ear elders, but the Spirit King of the Wind also uttered a true argument.

'Oh, oh, my witch daughter. But their power is exhausted. How can you protect a girl from demons in such a situation?

"It's"

Istericia hugged the girl in her arms, squeezing all the power that remained.

"I know it's the limit. But the wobble is a witch. So, I believe it. A miracle!"

A world covered in mud.

Look up, but you can't see the full moon or the stars.

Still, Isterisia believed in miracles and looked to heaven.

Exactly, that's when.

"Istericia!!

The mud over my head cracks and the light plugs in.

And then he kicked the mud, and one boy came down.

"Elnea!"

"Sorry to keep you waiting, huh? But it's okay now!

Ernea waved through the white Kagura sword in her right hand as she turned her full moon-like smile on Isterisia.
