We Live in Dragon’s Peak

A dirt spirit summoned by Priscia and Alicia blew a huge rock.

But even with the big rock gone, you can just see the rock-skinned slopes there, with no cave entrance anywhere.

"Oh, there you are."

Momo refuses to let us in, but Alicia smiles with pleasure.

"Priscia, are you ready?

"I'll take care of it."

The sisters of the Ear Elder Clan give the following instructions to the Spirit of the earth:

Whoa, roaring dirt spirits.

And he began to slap his fist like a bamboo on the slope.

Dunno, dunno, dull impact echoes deep in the mountains.

The rock skin gradually shreds as the heavy streak of dirt spirits enters the slope.

"Oh, my God."

"Good girl."

Priscia matches Alicia's hanging voice, and the dirt spirits gain momentum.

And finally, Momo's fence was broken.

Rock skin collapses with the kind of momentum that causes landslides. Then there's a hole in the slope.

"It's small, isn't it?

Luiseine succumbs.

The entrance to the cave, which finally showed up, was only big enough to have to bend in.

"When the entrance is big, it will stand out."

In the first place, no new dwellings could be created in places like those known beforehand.

Whatever, no matter how much you hide the entrance, "There was a cave here, wasn't there? 'Cause it doesn't make any sense if you get stuck.

So, last year, we looked through the mountains and finally found this place.

Originally, it was a cave with a secret mouth open in the shadow of a boulder.

However, just now, or just before, Priscia and Alicia stormed out, making it this noticeable hole.

"Spirit, keep the entrance unobtrusive, will you?

When I ask, the earthly spirits nod silently and bring the blown big rock.

"All right, then, we're off to explore!

"Oops."

No, it's not an exploration.

Obviously, it's a case of trespassing on Momo's residence!

Priscia and Alicia break into the cave through a small entrance, along with a cute temper.

Me and Louiseine laughed bitterly at each other, but later.

In the cave, it's dark.

Then, Priscia summoned Mr. Spirit of Light.

"Whoa. Priscia, you're good, aren't you?

"Eh!

Praised by her favorite sister, Priscia cheeks happily.

We make our way through the cave illuminated by the Spirit of Light.

Then the ceiling suddenly got higher.

"The only thing narrow is the entrance, isn't it?

I snorted at Louiseine's question, yeah.

Unlike near the entrance where I had to give in, a little further, the ceiling was so high that it was okay to jump as much as I wanted. Plus, the width gets really wide.

"Wow. I can't believe there's a bell cave in here."

Alicia is surprised as she looks around.

From the ceiling lit by light, there were many sticky, pointy rocks, like ice columns (rough), hanging.

From the tip of the stone ice column, a clear Shizuku falls.

"Whoa, whoa, it's cold."

Priscia, who took the falling droplets with her little hand, is perfectly happy.

"That's a fantastic landscape. And it's not cold at all."

Yes, and although the white breath comes out, it's extraordinarily warmer than outside a snowblowing cave.

"It doesn't get that cold no matter how much snowstorm it is outside, the water flowing through the ground is beautiful, it's surprisingly comfortable,"

Underfoot was touching with dripping droplets.

Going further back, there is a thin creek in the rift of rock skin, so deep that the bottom is invisible in some places.

With my explanation, we all proceed with caution.

Anyway, wet floors are slippery.

It's hard to keep Priscia in mind like she ran around in a wide breast cave.

"There's Momo in the back."

"You know, Priscia wants to see you soon, right?

If Momo created the Great Eagle by magic, we've all seen it. But only me and Neemia in the line have seen Momo himself.

I wonder what he's like, and with all the imagination, Priscia and Alicia walk hand in hand with each other.

"Hehe."

Then Luiseine took my hand and started walking, too.

Mist, report to your sister.

"Oh well, Niemia. I'll give you a delicious snack later, so keep it a secret, okay?

"Okay."

"It's been bought!

That's Luiseine. You know how to handle Niemia.

If I were you, I would never have been able to acquire it.

Look up at the ceiling showing a mysterious twist or peek into the deep fountain. Put your hands on the flowing waterfalls, make a good noise.

Twice or so, Priscia slipped her leg on her ass cake, but otherwise it was going well and we were going through the cave.

"Mr. Elnea. Is it deeper where Momo lives?"

To Louiseine's question, um, and me twisting my neck.

"Ah."

Alicia, who was watching it, came running up to me all the time.

"Maybe Alicia and the others are in Momo's trap again!?

Oh, that's a good idea.

Actually, if you keep going down the bell cave without anything, you're going to take the opposite exit.

Without saying anything, I was trying to surprise everyone.

"Nyan."

Neither did Neemia, until now, point out anything. That means you were with me, trying to surprise everyone, right?

"Mmm. I'm sure there was a branch hidden somewhere. Oh, Priscia, good luck finding it."

"Mnh-mnh, look for Momo!

On the road that has gone so far, there must have been a branch road that leads to Momo's residence, Priscia and Alicia start going back the way they came.

And now, we carefully walk forward with our hands on the wall or carefully examining any suspicious places.

"Hehe, that sounds like fun"

"Will Luiseine join us?

"Right. Because of this, I'm going to enjoy it."

The curious Luiseine was also added, and Momo's search for a place to live began.

Now, can the three of you find the hidden branches safely?

Anyway, the other guy is Momo the Great Mage.

So was the entrance to the cave, but you can't just see through the blindfold trap at first glance.

The suggestion was that the three of us were looking around for fun at first, but gradually it became a troubled look.

"Ugh. Brother, give me a clue?

Priscia moisturizes her eyes as she lurks, clinging to my feet.

"Priscia, do you surrender?

"You know, Priscia wants to play with Momo a lot. But Momo doesn't like Priscia?

Apparently, I thought Momo wouldn't see us because she hates us about ourselves.

"Yeah, that's not true. However, Momo is very familiar."

In the first place, it's a trap to keep intruders from understanding where they are. Whether they are demon kings, they are blindfolded so that they will never be found.

Finding that without a clue is not easy, even for Alicia the Wise. I mean, isn't that impossible?

Nevertheless, I can't make Priscia look any sadder, and I just can't keep her quiet and secret like this. So, now with Niemia's guidance, we're going to proceed through the belly cave.

I'm tired, walking not to slip, holding Priscia, who says selfishly.

Niemia, flying at the head, began to swirl abruptly.

"There's a branch way out of here."

And at the end of the line, but only the wall.

"Again, you're building walls with magic and hiding them."

Then, and Alicia summoning Mr. Spirit of the Earth.

But as soon as the dust spirits were in the mood, the walls of the bell cave disappeared and a new hole appeared.

"Apparently, Momo noticed that too."

"I guess you honestly thought it would be better to show them around rather than get rammed around in the bell cave"

Momo, too, seems to have taken root in the passions of Priscia and Alicia.

"Momo, I'm not waiting"

Put Neemia, who guided me, over her head, and Alicia moves on to the back of the branch.

We follow Alicia, too.

Then, the air quality changed.

Or the smell changed.

"You smell unhygienic?

"Yeah, you are."

Slight, sweaty smell. It also smells like mold or dust.

It smells like an unhygienic life.

Still, we're going down the branch road.

Behind the branches is also, of course, a bell cave. The ceiling is high, and the width is quite high.

Alicia, the Spirit of Light, who was illuminating my surroundings as I proceeded with you, stopped abruptly on my feet.

"In the back, someone..."

Light arrives or not, about ahead.

In the shadow of a large ice column stretching from the ground to the ceiling, something moves around.

"Whoa. It's Momo!

"Momo can't!

Priscia pops out of my arm.

Alicia joyfully raises her hands and storms into the shadows.

"Both of you!

You don't even think it might be a demon, fine dust!

But that idea is not a mistake.

You're surprised by the two ear elders who storm us, or the shadow that was hiding moves to escape.

But if you expose yourself, it's over.

Priscia and Alicia, who activated the spatial leap, approach the shadows in an instant.

And I hugged him as much as I wanted.

"Ggah."

"Momo...? Bear?"

"Mnh-mnh, smell?

Convinced it was Momo, the two of you jumped.

But by coming out of the back of the ice column, Luiseine as well as Alicia and Priscia tilted their necks at the identity illuminated by the Spirit of Light.

To see, bear!

Covered in brown body hair, big hands and feet lined with sharp nails catch your eye.

However, the part of the bear's head was unnaturally drooping forward.

That should be it too...

"Gugigi......"

Priscia and Alicia hang around trying to escape their unquestioned embrace.

Then the head, which was unnaturally drooping, moved as it drifted.

For a moment, two hugs lifted the bear's head! It seemed like a breeze though.

From behind the deviated head, a new head reveals itself.

Much smaller than a bear, with the head of a luxurious woman.

"Bitter...... sii. Aide, Kete"

"Whoa. I'm wearing Mr. Bear's stuffed animal."

"Priscia, no. This is fur."

"Mmm, that's cute. But smell?

Momo, who flinches and rumbles. But you can't escape the embrace of Priscia and Alicia.

And the sisters of the Ear Elders stay hugged and observe Momo.

If you calm down and observe, you'll understand very well.

Momo is too luxurious and small for a bear's fur.

So the bear's head is drooping, and his hands and feet lined with sharp nails are dangling.

"Hehe. Apparently, that woman, Momo herself. But this smell..."

Looks like Louiseine noticed the bear's identity was Momo too.

"That's what happened when we first met, but Momo always wears the skin of a beast."

For once, under the fur is wrapped a rag of cloth.

But Momo, who lives hidden in the depths of the mountains in the first place, has no chance of people getting woven cloth products.

In doing so, winter will inevitably result in wearing the skin of the beast with cold protection.

And Momo, who is close to a wild child, has little notion of sobriety or cleanliness.

You'd be wearing it all the time. You'd never washed the bear's fur, and Momo's own hair was blurry, and her face was dirty.

The smell behind the branches is unhygienic, or Momo smells because she doesn't usually pay attention to hygiene.

"Oh well, an elderly woman shouldn't do that. Yes! Let's take a bath now!

I came up with a good thing, clapped my hand, and Luiseine smiled hehe.
