Lueyuhi: Zzzzzz…

After all was said and done, I ended up sleeping the whole day

My head feels heavy after sleeping so muchBut there is no time

Early in theThe sun hasn’t even risen yet It was happening in the room Francesca lent me to live in

Everyone carefreely placed themselves around the room as they pleased

Ilya was sitting by the table right in front of me

…Not like itif you sit next to the person when you are talking to people rather than sitting face-to-face

“Ilya, can you come sit next to me?”

“Certainly”

This is definitely not because I a It is just so we can talkaround the table, Ilya sat next to me

Her fluttering hair had a nice sirl

Now then, how should we do the ?

But before starting it…

“Ilya, did you properly go to sleep?”

“There won’t be any problems, ojou-sama”

This is totally not an answer though…

After the war ends, have a full day’s worth of sleep!

Let´s order her that later

…She isn’t the type to die if she isn’t doing anything like Maguro, right?

“It is fine for noant to save Francesca Where do you think her troops are going to?”

“They are probably going through Arcenu wetlands Considering the topography and the troops’ speed, I’d say there’s no doubt”

“Can we still catch up with them?”

“It is possible If we can borrow a horse, it will not take even a day”

I see Moving troops around is so that takes time after all

Even if we need to catch up to the a few of us will be faster so we can ht away

“Alright Then, let´s borrow a horse from someone from Fran´s family and let´s immediately depart”

“――I will go too”

“So will I～～”

Violently opening the door of the room, Rin-chan makes her appearance

Following after her was Kuro Zukume

“It´s obvious you can´t go along”

Go obediently sleep

Being im them look like balloons

“Mu～～～! Deshi+!”

Rin-chan co from the door and throws herself onto me I receive Rin-chan´s attack

Even if you yell, it won’t help

Ouch, ouch!

Don´t pull my hair!

I will become bald!

“Of course, I will be leaving Rin here”

“Well, that doesn’tto stop”

I don’t care about it anymore

For now let’s hug Rin-chan who only wants to cause mischief and carry her on our lap

As if that was enough for her to beco mischievously

My hair is safe nowThank God!

“I… have a debt to you”

While bluntly declaring that, Kuro Zuku at a while ago

“If you really think that way, then you must properly come back with us after that, ok?”

“I won´t do anything reckless”

“I hate men who are all talk”

“Fu…”

Kuro Zuku funny

And after that, the mood in the room became kind of weird

Hm?

When I looked at onee-chan, as standing by the , leaning her back at the hile having her ar with a wistful look

And when I looked at Saira, who is sitting at the bed, I noticed that her face is turning red

Rin-chan is acting all cheerful on my lap

Ilya, who is sitting next to e

By the way! Stop trying to make this kind of mood of your own accord!?

I´m definitely not into him! What do you ith me!?

“…Either way, if you really want to go, then go make your preparations”

“Alice-san, I will go too! I want to go together with you!”

“Saira wants to…?”

Changing her expression to one of seriousness, Saira suddenly declared

I a with us isso Saira can´t fight

Just a single mistake and she will be dead

“Please! I… I don´t want to turn my eyes away from all this… Not anymore”

Turning her eyes away fro of the people of her race…?

“…I ht have to kill some of them, you know?”

“I understand-nya…”

I didn´t say [who] I was going to kill, but she should have properly understood the e

Saira´s head was hanging down and her ears drooped

“Even if you look at things that you don’t need to look at… I don´t think it would do you good”

“…I finally understand”

“Eh?”

Even after I say that, Saira shakes her head

“I… need to apologise to that person I can´t si here!”

With her fists clenched, Saira declared

With this ainst it anymore

“…Ilya”

When I looked at Ilya, she nodded atto say

“Yes With my own body, I will protect Saira-san to the end”

“A-alice-san!”

“Listen to what Ilya says You can´t be unreasonable okay?”

“Yes…!”

Seeing the strong look in her eyes, I don´t think there is anything left to say

I believe that Salia will be fine as long as she stays close to Ilya

“Then, I guess I will be the one protecting Alice?”

“Onee-chan, instead of doing that, I would rather have you rush into the front lines”

“I think you trustthat they both feel that Alice sent her to the vanguard because of trust in her to succeed and not die)

“Right?”

If it doesn’t hit, there’s no point after all

Please use that saying to the fullest(TLC note: this is directed to everyone in the story, as a kind of wish/hope)

And after that, everyone’s eyes gathered at a certain person

“Mu?”

She is sprawled out on the bed, but she is awake!

It gave ht!

“Cough Til… Please, can you go be Rin-chan´s playmate for now?”

“Ahaha shi+sho～! Deshi+´s shi+sho～!”

Rin-chan gets down fro in

Children are so full of energy

“Eei! Don´t hug !”

Til… She is really a kid, isn´t she…

Well, it should be fine even if I leave the two by themselves

I don´t think Til will let Rin-chan get into danger

“So everything is decided now, right? Then let’s borrow some horses and depart”

“Ojou-sama”

“What is it?”

“Ojou-sama, can you ride a horse?”

………

“Ilya”

“Yes”

“I will bestow you the honor of escorting me”

“Fufu, yes, my lady”

————

In the end, the only ones that can´t ride horses are Saira and me

I a on Ilya´s horse and Saira is on shi+on´s

Since ed fro about ill happen from now on makes my body indiscreetly heat up

I see, I am very normal Now I am certain

“Are you alright, ojou-sama?”

“My butt hurts…”

“Fufu, please endure it”

So it was true riding horses is very painful if you are not used to it…

We ended up taking more breaks than we expected, so in the end, the day becaht

Since we have four horses carrying luggage like tents and other things, there aren’t any problems

Kuro Zukuht watch duty outside

That is only expected, isn´t it? There are pretty much only women here

We at least gave hih

We arrive late in the afternoon of the third day

“!? What was that roar!?”

We were at a distance where it was already possible to feel the presence of the battlefield

We still couldn´t see the war itself since it was happening behind the hill, but there was no

at that direction

Because we can see the dust stirring up and hear the intermittent explosions

In the midst of all those sounds, I heard a voice which I had the feeling of hearing it before

“That was…? Sirius!!? How can this be!!”

“Ilya?”

Being unlike herself, Ilya is very agitated

I turnthe reins strongly as if she was hugging me, I am unable to look back

“…It is a dragon… right?”

“…”

Seeing how she is acting, I a ahead of here

Sirius? An acquaintance? But that roar…

ould you nore beast’, It’s probably the saon I saw before

What did she on”

Then, what about the dragonkind?

――“there is one last thing I can do”

I´ve heard those words before Then, the dragonkind are…

Could it be that Ilya´s hidden ace… was that?

Then, what about the dragon that is on the other side of this hill?

The ice dragon I killed with my own hands… wasn´t only a demon beast

“…Ilya, can you fight?”

“…”

…It doesn’t matter I will have her stay back

She staying behind protecting Saira hat the plan was to begin with

I can now feel forso at the front lines

And then, we finally got to where the battle is happening

After getting to the top of the hill, the battle that was happening wasn´t in the forined; it has finally shown itself toof reality

It looks like their encas of the sort here

It is probably their headquarters

There was a large number of wounded soldiers there

Frohtly-wounded soldiers that couldn’t fit into the tent, to the heavily wounded soldiers you could see by peeking inside

Thier bandages are soaked in blood

I can even see the extent of the wounds they have

As to be expected, I a anxious about this

I want to heal up all those people However, now isn´t the time

There is no way I can afford to lose consciousness right now

There are guards along the way, but because it seems like they already knoe are, they didn´t co in particular to us

However, while I could spot guards and medics in here on standby, Francesca was nowhere to be found

“――What is it”

“You… You are Fran´s…”

I came across one of Fran´s servants; a servant named Paru

Is he the one in command here?

Why is it that Francesca isn´t together with him?

“Where is Fran?”

“…”

“Where is she!?”

The butler silently pointed his finger to somewhere

He pointed at the hill, as if to say ‘see it for yourself from there’

I followed him to where we could see the entirety of the war zone

Here was the first tiht of a battlefield

Only a part of it

When I looked over that direction, I could see there was a giant beast there

“――Dragon! …A white, dragon!”

Could it be!?

The direction the butler pointed at was definitely that way

“Did you let her go by herself!? The princess of your own country!?”

“That was hime-sama´s oill”
