We Live in Dragon’s Peak

In retrospect, Old Sleighsta's words when he left Moss Square were advice to the distressed Madrine.

As things stand, in order to solve the problem of immortality and longevity, we must ask transcendents such as Micheira and the Dragon God to acknowledge their qualities and possibilities.

But I think it would be a mistake to have the idea of exploring new ways to do this, or acquiring different powers from now on.

Old Sleighsta told you that the path you have taken so far has been steady in the tunnels and has further sharpened the power you already have. It is only first that there is a thread to solve the problem.

And now.

I quickly discovered one of Madeleine's characteristics.

"Dear Madeleine!

"Welcome home, witch head"

Led by the Flying Dragon Knights, we descended into the great square in front of the great temple, the king's capital of the kingdom of Jortenithos.

Then many witches and clerics rush over from the Great Temple and surround Master Madrine.

The witches, one after the other, took Madrine's hand and spoke the words of labor, smiling at the return of the witch-head.

"Madeleine has a charm for attracting people."

"True opposite of your sister Yufi and your sister Nina."

"When those two try to do something, the people involved get away with it as if it were a detachment!

Well, still not neglected or hated are the attractions of Ufiria and Nina.

As for the twin princesses, anyway.

Those priests who gather around Master Madrine to be adorable and busy. If you look at the heartfelt smiles that those people show, you can see how cherished and deeply admired Master Madrine is.

It's not like the priests have come together because Madeleine is a witch-head or because she has the right family of origin. Guys, you love Master Madeleine, so much so that you jump out to the Grand Square and are happy to be back.

I'm sure there's an answer to the problem ahead of Madeleine's attractions and strengths.

"Come on, folks. It is time for you to return to your holy service. I must first report my return to Your Majesty."

When there is a stir, the priests follow the instructions of Madrine and return to the Great Temple.

"Mr. Ernea, let's head to the royal palace."

"Yes, I'll give it to you"

"Nyan."

Yeah, well, we didn't come to see you.

I have to do my job properly.

On the street in front of the Great Square, a carriage is prepared. Me, Madeleine, and Neemia, who grew smaller, were rocked by a carriage and headed to the royal palace.

Still, a detached palace on the outskirts of the King's capital is being used as a temporary royal palace in the kingdom of Jortenitos.

Of course, the construction of a new royal castle is in progress. Anyway, it's a symbolic building for the country. Completed in a few years, doesn't look like construction.

"Bring me Astel, the Duke of Cats, and I'll bet it's a flash, right?

"But if you do that easily, the craftsmen will lose their jobs"

"I don't think Astel would dare ask for it, either, because of it."

Speaking of which, the demon king castle of the giant demon king was also half-destructed, right?

Hmm. I can't believe I'm involved in the destruction of all three of the king's castles, combined with the royal castles of the kingdom of Arms.

What a rare coincidence!

"At the root of all evil."

"Be such an idiot. Ah. Next time, you want to go visit Kushalila's Demon King Castle?

"I'm after the fourth one!?

"Mr. Ernea, Niemia. As Mr. Mist always says, no mind- and word-weaving conversations, right?

"I'm sorry."

"Nyan."

We arrive at the royal palace and get out of the carriage.

Then, even here, as soon as possible, the priests and soldiers of the royal palace gathered together.

At the entrance to the royal palace, everyone who makes a cute noise.

I'm guessing you've heard reports from the Fei Long Knights, who were returning earlier, of their battle with the Demon King.

Lady Madeleine and I, surrounded by everyone, meet with questioning attacks.

But don't scorn (but don't) sacrament or state affairs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will take the time to talk to you again this time."

I was surrounded by everyone, but noticed signs of familiarity approaching me from afar, and tried to put up some noise.

But it seemed a little late.

"Yes, you guys. Why don't you go back to work?"

"Ha!

It was Lady Grave, the next king, who showed up with the Kingsguard knight.

Lady Grave takes note and the soldiers rush back to their positions.

The witches, lined up behind Master Madrine, turned themselves.

"Elnea, well done. And, Master Madeleine. Thank you for your hard work in this battle."

"Hello, Master Grave"

"Dear Grave, thank you for your hard work."

When I greet each of them, I enter the royal palace under the leadership of Master Grave.

"By the way, Master Grave. How is Prince Filrell?"

Philelle also joined me in the battle against the demon king. And after that, you should have gone back to the kingdom of Yortenitos with the Feilongs Knights.

But I don't see him.

I don't even feel the overwhelming signs of Yugra-like, the legendary dragon, with the filel on it. And then, early on back, did you go to your next job?

To my doubts, Lady Grave stopped and looked back.

"Hmm. I was going to talk to you later. Actually, while we were away, we had a little problem."

"Mmm, is that a big problem"

"If you ask me if it's a big problem, it's not big. But if I could use your help, I'd be early..."

And so Lady Grave's gaze stopped around my waist.

"Speaking of which, you. What happened to the two swords you always wore on your hips?

"Translated, I'm letting go now"

"Hmm...?

Rare, Master Grave shows the look.

"I don't think you're wasting your time right now. Does that mean anything to you that you're not wearing a sword, too?

"Yes. So now I don't have the same powers as before, do I?

Right, and nodding, Master Grave. And just a little thought, I started walking down the long corridor again.

"Right. If I rely on you for everything, I will no longer be a country. I'm going to ask Philelle to fix this problem without your help."

"Okay. I think that's right, too."

Is this a good effect of letting go of a weapon?

If I'd been you, I'd have stuck my neck in curiosity if you'd told me something was wrong. But I don't have the strength right now. So be careful what you do, too. Besides, we also think of those who try to ask for them to work hard on their own.

Like Madeleine, even if it's good to seek strength to survive the trials, the power that has gone too far leads you to the path of destroying yourself.

After Grave, I recognised the commandment to myself.

The king and I met in a private room.

It seemed that I had already received a detailed report from Lady Grave, and the stories of me, Madeleine and the King focused on the family and Lyla's recent developments.

At first, the king seemed a little sorry for the lack of Lyla, but I'll come visit you later, and it's a secret that he's in a very good mood.

And after we've reported to the king, we'll leave the royal palace behind.

"Elnea, are you really glad you didn't stay at the Royal Palace"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'll see you at the royal palace when Lyla arrives."

If you're just going to sleep in a luxurious room by yourself, you're still not comfortable living surrounded by servants and escorts. Then you want to go back to the King's Capital and do some research and stay at the Inn every once in a while.

And I thought.

"Well, let's go to my parents"

"To?"

I'm the one with the eye for Madeleine's unexpected offer.

"Oh, but. I have to go back to the Great Temple for once. Because as a witch head, I have duties to do. So, Ernea, you must go to your parents' house with one toe."

"Yes!?

Hey, Master Madeleine?

She said she would visit the woman's home without the person...... Isn't that too difficult!?

But before she heard my opinion, Madeleine took the carriage back to the Grand Temple.

I am left standing in front of the royal palace.

"Yeah, I don't even know where Madeleine's parents are in the first place?

At least you wanted me to give you the address alone.

Or why, in the first place, to such a rapid expansion?

When I was in trouble, a woman called me from behind.

"Dear Ernea, I will show you"

Looking back, there's one witch.

Is she a witch in the royal palace?

"Well, then, please…"

If it's true, I'd like to escape!

But you can't refuse the invitation of a woman who promised her future, and the big event of visiting her parents.

I reluctantly accept the witch's guidance.

After a short wait in front of the royal palace, another carriage arrived.

Me and the witch get in on a qualitative but existential carriage with a family crest we're unfamiliar with.

Hehe, and a witch smiling in the carriage.

But for some reason, are you afraid to smile?

also, could......

An unpleasant feeling springs up.

Am I trying to hang onto the trap of Madeleine and the witches and force them to face your parents?!?

"Nah."

Niemia waves her tail over my head for fun.

But then you can be accompanied by Madeleine, right?

Or would normally accompany you!?

Is this a trial from Madeleine against me?

In order to marry a honorable woman named the witch head, it will be necessary to be prepared accordingly.

There may even be people who are jealous, jealous, or resentful.

I see.

In order to keep those people quiet, you have to show them around that it's not a marriage led by Madeleine, but an affair where I hold the lead firmly.

Nevertheless, I can't believe this is a sudden visit to your home...

What are Madeleine's parents like?

Are you scared?

Is it tough?

It's the right kind of family, and it could be very strict.

what if they disagree!

Bubbling and beating faster.

"Ko, this... I'm more nervous than I was when I fought the demon king."

"Nyan."

A nasty sweat seeped into my palm.

Maybe I'm pale now. [M]

My breath gets rough, too.

Even if you take a deep breath and try to calm down, your breath is shallow and you just feel a stronger heartbeat in your chest.

Me stiff to nervousness in the carriage. A witch as a guide watching it smile.

Come on.

This is, in a way, torture.

I wonder if we'll get there soon.

No, no, don't arrive.

Shit, what do we do?

Even while I'm stuck alone, the carriage moves slowly shaking. And the carriage that arrived at the destination, it stopped.

"Thank you for waiting"

Someone in charge opens the carriage door.

I got off the carriage nervously, prompted. [M]

It was then.

"Welcome home, sister -!

It was sudden.

Overhead, a girl with two spell "moonlight arrows" has already rushed towards me.

"What!?

I harden into confusion without understanding the situation.

There, the girl who has stormed relentlessly.

Me and the girl collided with each other.
