Chapter 23 (2/2)

”Yeah?”

I wonder if there is anything left if I collect the raw al thoughts while I alking, Levia and Ar from the other side

Levia feels a bit i that I can understand that not some trivial matter happened

”Did so happen?”

” …… A dragon you know”

” …… what?”

”Like I said! The owner of this nest, the dragon, has returned! Moreover, it fleards the direction of the village!”

…… That thing's kind of bad news

I was under the iely flooded with lizard――――kind of like that right?

I didn't coe, did I? And above all, the er

”We’re really not getting any break here! If that's the case, we have return fast or it will be bad you know!?”

”Right! We're going back quickly!”

Carrying Ar froth and started running There's quite soo all out

(Tch ……Too ic power piled up inside so I didn't notice the situation outside at all ……)

If I didn't destroy that sphere, I would've noticed the dragon's appearance There's nothing I can do about it at this point of ti is the worst

I' maybe it's some kind of scheme――――――

”Now's not the tih!”

I strongly kick the ground to the point I' into it and accelerate evento be fine, but……

◇　◇　◇

”The lizardmen are……”

” …… They vanished, didn't they? I don't kno he did it, but…… as expected of master”

” ……”

About the tiroup left in a hurry froon, tie for a long time That is to be expected――――――it's because the e up until now coreat joy and both Alize and Ramell felt completely relieved

”Hot their peace froht?

” …… You won't understand, miss Alize”

As a matter of fact, every time she talks about Setsu, Ramell's mood becomes worse This is an inevitable emotion for a man in love As a matter of fact, what is in Alize is respect towards Setsu and nothing more than that, but s about that

”? I don't really understand Whatever, shall we go in soon? The frightening lizardone as well, it seems”

”Carelessness is dangerous you know, miss Alize!”

Alize subtly distorted her face fro warned by aback never uard; the reason she said so is because the presence of nearby monsters completely disappeared, but he, the still inexperienced one, couldn't just take off his carelessness

”But the presence of monsters are already――――――”

”In that case I ate for a while! Miss Alize, please take a break before me!”

This blockhead! Is what she was about to say in anger, but she soest to wait for Setsu's group's return while drinking tea with just the two of them, but Ramell wanted to show his dependable side He unexpectedly continued the conversation towards the direction he's facing He still didn't know the fact he had this once in a lifetime chance and just completely blew it

”Is that so…… I understand”

Alize left the place behind while she felt disappointed for not being able to spend tiht earnestly why she felt that way If I think about it, I feel like I've always been spending ht Alize wasn't aware of herself that she was beco more and more attracted to Ramell She didn't even realize that she's co such experience, she unconsciously boasts a considerable thick headedness

(Speaking of which, I have to prepare theover to master……)

Suddenly recalling that, she interrupted her thinking While thinking things like how the ones fro inside the village――――――at that time

shi+ver! (Zoku; ono)

”W-!?”

A chill suddenly ran through her whole body An unthinkable presence is approaching…… is what she immediately understood When she unintentionally looked over her shoulder, the direction of the dragon's nest…… fro towards this place

”D…… dra………… gon……”

Alize unintentionally grasped her shoulder The fact was her old scar from before felt terribly painful

…… To her, dragons are the cause of her trauma, and now……

A symbol of despair
