Vol 4 Chapter 9 (2/2)

《What is it thou desires,you out》

“I was told that Dragon King-sama and Lord Hanzo were acquaintances, so would you happen to know the location of his former residence?”

《Oh, that… It’s close to the spring, near the top of this hill When this one first visited this area to build his nest, that person had already been living here》

Chiome looked up at the foothill beyond the torri after Williahsfim answered her question

It seemed like our destination was the sa for it

“Thank you very much”

After nodding at Chios and flew off toward the huge Dragon King’s tree that could be seen in the distance

“We appear to be heading in the same place Chiome-dono

“That sees to proceed so smoothly”

Chiome looked in the direction Williahsfi at me with a small smile on her face

“We have the Dragon King’s permission, so let’s head to the summit”

“Kyun!”

Ponta wagged her tail and etic crywhen I took a step towards the torri at the base of the foothill

However, Ariane silently approached ht tone that contradicted the cold smile she had

“Arc…… do you plan to act on your own again?”

Overwhelmed by her smile and the veins that pulsed on her forehead, I rapidly shook my head and moved three steps backwards

The aura she was e beast that pressured me as she approached

“S-Sorry, Ariane-dono I acted rashly when I saw that artifact over there”

There was no room for excuses this time

I had been so distracted by the torri that I recklessly charged into an unknown area without paying attention to s…… if I were in a movie, I have been the person that died first

My bit of person retrospection surprised Ariane for ait off

“Arc your actions were rather childish, but you seem to have calmed down……”

She sighed a little after she said that

It seemed like this incident would be overlooked Noas certain that she was Glenys’ daughter…… both of theot serious……

“Still, I’ht on equal ter”

Chiome cheeks were flushed with an unusual amount of excitement when she voiced her opinion next to Ariane

She was looking up at me with pure admiration

“Umm Well, I couldn’t afford to make a mistake……”

I was a little eue reply

Be as it on King

I once thought that this body and the skills it possessed were potentially on the same level as military ammunition

However, having to fight a being with strength equaling ownin this world

If I becaht be snuffed out one day

Besides……

“Ariane-dono, is the Dragon King you pro with even more powerful than Williahsfim-dono?”

The fact that there existed a being that even Williahsfihed on my mind

However, Ariane siroaned

“Fro Ferufivisurotte-sama carries a considerable as, but I can’t help but feel that there was a hidden agenda behind Williahsfim-sama’s request……”

“A hidden agenda! What do you think he could be plotting?”

Judging from Williahsfim joyful celebration I immediately questioned Ariane’s opinion It didn’t seem like he intended to harm anybody

Ariane must have been aware of this and she cleared ahat she had been thinking with a shake of her head

However, her next stateure out Williahsfim’s intentions

“Ferufivisurotte-sama is female so maybe……”

I snapped

It’s easy to understand a strong being holding so desire to personally meet that person

But, things were a little different when it involved a man and a women

“Ariane-dono, you said that your older sister could set up awith Ferufivisurotte-dono, but are you sure she can do that?”

It is a common practice for some men to approach a third party to set up a date, but oftentimes the woman would just find the whole affair tedious

Ariane looked worried for a second but she still nodded her head in response

“It should be alright since I didn’t etthe matter up next time she speaks with Ferufivisurotte-sama”

She shrugged and sighed after saying that

I had seen dignity befitting a Dragon King in Williahsfim before, but after that happy outburst I could only see him as a man stuck in an unrequited love

“Alright, shall we set out for the spring now?”

Chioaze upon the mountain that towered over us

…… Soon afterwards, we reached our destination
