We Live in Dragon’s Peak
I was prepared to be wrong.
Niemia flies relaxed and changed from when heading to the Dragon Forest. Thanks to this, we also have a good view of the flowing clouds and the conditions on the ground.
Many had crossed the streets stretched long east and west.
In some things, the appearance of the unnecessary.
Slightly, the dragons are the ones walking wide (cool) in our faces through the middle of the street. People and carriages, avoid the dragons and pave the way.
The Dragon tribe is still horrible to many, and it is rare to be seen nearby. Still, there is no such thing as the appearance of a fleeing people or a fool who waves his weapon in a prestigious manner.
Guys, you understand.
Even the Dragons don't like it and want to get into contention.
Well, some dragons are quite engaging. But the dragons know that if you get into trouble with people on the flat ground, then there's a scary punishment waiting for you. Anyway, it's a race with much higher intelligence than people.
If evil gets into our ears, Revaria will fly away!
So even if you walk down the street with our faces as if to boast of existence, there's nothing like a dragon tribe causing a commotion. And people were also well aware that even if it was the first time they had a fear or saw the dragon tribe, they wouldn't have a problem if they were even static.
"Those are the dragons who took part in the battle."
"Right. I think you're relaxing back home with a spot on the mountain."
Me and Madeleine, we all look down on the ground. And let the bustling streets loosen your cheeks.
"Are the Feilong Knights back yet?
"Right. I don't see the Dragon Knights, and I don't think the soldiers have time to play."
"Oh, my God."
Soldiers who participated in the war from the kingdoms of Armuad and Yortenitos said they would not receive any special reward because it was only part of their state affairs. Still, he received some loot from us at the Fei Long hunting ground, but he didn't seem to have been given it until the holidays.
Once you've completed one mission, you'll be waiting for your next job.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Elnea. You think you've given the tax-exempt privilege of the bridge to all the adventurers and supporters? Besides, I can't believe you'd approve of reselling it?
"Yes, we issued a free pass. But with a five-year deadline."
The Suranel Grand River flows along the border between the kingdoms of Armuard and Yortenitos. In order to take advantage of the huge bridge that hangs there, you will need only a little toll.
The truth is, the dragons used dragon art to build this bridge. For some reason, tolls come into my nostalgia, and that's used to fund my parents' operation and to maintain the bridge.
That's why we issued an exemption from the toll as part of this reward.
"But I don't think some people need it. So you can turn it into money on resale, I admitted. I'm sure it will sell to frequent carriers using bridges."
However, there was an opinion that it would be difficult to use it without time limit, so a deadline of five years was set.
"You're fat. But, Elnea, you don't have any money in your wallet."
"Hey, how do you know that!?
"Hehe, we all know, don't we? It's a penny, isn't it?
"Master Madeleine, because when you marry me, you get a penny, right? Yufi and Nina aren't doing what they want, either, because Mistral's holding the purse string, right?
"Oh, then don't worry. I'm a witch in the first place, so it's a prudent life, married or not."
Hehe, and laughed, Master Madeleine.
But I noticed a little shade in that smile.
"Dear Madrine...?
With Ufiria and Nina, the always naive Madeleine, a little discouraged?
Long struggle, tired?
Or do you miss breaking up with everyone?
... Yeah, no.
"Dear Madeleine, if you have a problem, let me hear it. We're supposed to have nothing to hide, right?
Even if we are not married yet, Madeleine is already part of our family.
So I want you to talk to me, not bring your troubles in alone.
Then, Master Madeleine glanced back from the ground and looked straight at me.
I'll be honest with you too.
"... actually, I'm losing a little confidence"
I shut up and listen to Madeleine.
"Ernea, you're amazing. He is such a fine man that he is praised by brave men and people of other races. The mists, too, Elnea, are all the daughters you deserve. Especially since I'm jealous of Louiseine."
"You have something to think of in Louiseine's dragon or demon eye, don't you?
"Yes......"
Madeleine, who let her gaze swim a little, leaked the anxiety she had embraced, as she had decided to.
"While I am the same witch, I have nothing. No special powers, no special experiences."
So, Master Madeleine lays down her eyes.
"I've been wondering lately if I deserve to marry you, Ernea."
"Dear Madrine..."
I was shallow. [M] I'm talking about Master Madeleine, anything for a purpose moves forward. And get results with a swine rush. That's what I assumed.
But it wasn't.
Dear Madrine, even she naturally has troubles and anxieties and is sometimes irritated by inferiority.
And now the most mind-wrenching issue was one about marriage.
"I'm sorry. It's our fault. Because I didn't reach out knowing that Dear Madrine and Sefina had the most difficult problems..."
"No, you don't. This is a trial that me and Sefina have to overcome on their own, so it's not a problem that annoys your hands, Ernea. But..."
I can't find the answers to the trials, and I leak them small, Master Madeleine.
Dear Madrine and Mr. Sefina. The two of you and I are getting married.
But there were big conditions before that.
It means, like us, can you two overcome the problems of life expectancy and immortality?
I don't want to hide it from you, Madeleine. [M]
When and how was it decided to live the life of immortality? How do we relate to the world? Other things, I told him once that I was prepared to break up with Mistrals with different lifespans one day, and that we and Mistrals at the time did not cover up their grids.
As an option, marriages can be made, regardless of life expectancy or the question of immortality, if we even accept the readiness to die to visit one day.
But things were different back then and now.
We know the possibilities. And I got that possibility.
Life expectancy problems can be overcome.
Very, very difficult trial, though.
Accepting fate without knowing the possibilities is not the same as being flirted with by fate after knowing the possibilities.
So I also wanted Master Madrine and Mr. Sefina to overcome the problem of life expectancy and immortality absolutely, I hoped so. Conversely, if you can't seem to overcome these two problems, I want you to give up marriage and find normal happiness, that's what I thought.
But that was a big mistake.
My arrogance led me to do a terrible thing to both of you.
"I was making a big mistake. It was a sight from above that in order to marry Master Madrine and Mr. Sefina, the two of them needed to survive the trial. But it's not. Even I want to marry Madeleine. Then I needed a new preparation, too. Every means will be used to help Master Madrine and the others survive the trials. It wasn't a trial that Madeleine and Sefina had to overcome, it was a problem that our family had to overcome."
And yet, if I had to, I'd help, but as it was only a trial between the two of us, I pushed them away.
But it's not.
If you want to marry Madeleine and Sefina, first of all, I had to work harder than anyone else.
"It's not Master Madeleine's fault. It's my fault. So please don't worry. I will definitely make Madeleine my wife!
Whoa, I hugged Master Madeleine.
Master Madeleine hugs me, too, and lays down her face.
"Thank you. Elnea, with your grant, it's like you've solved the problem already."
"That's right! From now on, you're going to take it easy on the big ship, right? Well, I'm on top of a big Niemia's back now."
"Nyan."
Dear Madeleine, smiling at Neemia's gavel, hehe, hehe.
Finally, the colour of anxiety disappeared from Master Madrine's expression.
"Right. Yufi and Nina have been aware of Madeleine's anxiety since the beginning, haven't they?
That's why I dared you and Madeleine to try to be alone.
"I regret it, because the best person to know me is those twins"
"Grunt, you can't beat Yufi and Nina. I will be the one who knows Madeleine best!
"So, even now!
"Geez. Dear Madrine, why are you starting to take off your witch outfit!? You're a witch head, so be a little more discreet."
"I'll snitch when I get home."
"Yikes. Neemia, I'll give you a snack, so this is a secret, okay?
The problems of life expectancy and immortality, which Lady Madrine and Mr. Sefina had. That didn't solve it from the ground up. Still, as a matter of concern to all of us, when we faced each other, we resolved anew.
I won't suffer just the two of you. If you're going to suffer, the whole family is going to suffer. And we're all gonna fix the problem and rejoice in it for the whole family.
Lady Madeleine also honestly revealed the anxiety she had been worried about and returned to her usual bright look, whether it was because she could hear my thoughts.
On Neemia's back, me and Madeleine making a good noise.
Neemia, too, flew slowly through the sky.
On this day, on the plains ahead over the Suranel Grand River, we were to camp at night.
"Speaking of which, Master Madeleine,"
Before the fire, me and Madeleine sit side by side.
Niemia sits on Lady Madrine's lap and is fed dinner.
Master Madeleine stopped the hand and looked back at me.
"Yep. If you were to marry more than one woman, including a witch, there would be a trial out of the temple, wouldn't there? Then...... What kind of trial would it be if you were to daughter-in-law a second witch!?
When marrying Luiseine, she took the test of looking for a "full moon flower" that no one had ever found. So when you marry Master Madeleine, what kind of trial will it be?
Then Madeleine laughed when she heard my question.
"Ernea, that's an unprecedented problem, isn't it? Because no one has even brought home the flowers of the full moon."
"Ha! You can't get past even the first trial, either."
Even when I and the brave Listeir returned with the flowers of the full moon, it became a great commotion among the priests.
Anyway, as far as history goes, we were the first ones to bring back the flowers of the full moon.
So you're not on the temple's side with the assumption of welcoming a second witch.
"And it is, Mr. Elnea. If it is, it is I, the witch-head, who will give the test."
"The subject of the trial is the one to be tested!
"Muki no. Besides, more importantly, I can't believe that a man of honor named Witchhead is my late wife!
"No, no, because at the point of being honorable yourself, thank you is fading, isn't it?
Even at night, the liveliness continues.
"Koho. Anyway, Mr. Elnea. Marrying me means you need to be prepared for it, right?
"Yes. Including that, I would definitely welcome Madeleine as my wife. So don't worry, will you?
So what will the unprecedented trials be about?
Well, it's not harder than life expectancy and the question of immortality, is it?
...... right!?
"Heh."
Neemia rings cute, hoping for rice. Master Madeleine started moving her hands again.
The flames of fire were shaking softly and gently.
