When sent, Francesca silently accepted the party request

A White Dragon

I am unfamiliar with this world, but is that a special creature?

It's appearance is not dissis, strong enough to deci from it's back A body bound init The difference lied with it's head, two horns protruding side by side

As it's naives the i froon lowers it's head and looks atThe way it narrows its eyes and stares at me is reminiscent of how a human would

Alive it a shot?

”――Ilya”

Fran stood startled next to me, and looked around herself for Ilya Of course, Ilya was nowhere around

―― Then, just for a lance similarly

I see… Sirius, huh?

”Hey Could you please retreat?”

”Alice?”

Francesca looks at on I give her a faint snal for her to wait She nods, but it's clear this is only a tentative agreeht breaks out between us, I' like sound was on's fiendish throat While it seemed troubled…

「――khf!」

I jumped back ion swung it's front legs It was powerful enough to create io Francesca also evaded by ju backwards, and turned to stare at erous!

”…So in the end this happens anyway”

”Alice, I respectfully think things are beyond that stage where they can be discussed ords”

Standing next to me, Francesca rebukes me with the obvious She draws her rapier, unlike last tiic rapier Heart of the Sun A hard-to-master weapon that heavily influences one's heart But, now lance at each other in kind, and she steps forward Reading to counterattack, the white dragon raises a front leg

”Lightning!!!”

I loose a suppressive spell It's as I feared, while utilising e However, it is enough to paralyze the dragons for a few seconds

Using the opportunity granted, Francesca dashes in

”Magic rapier, respond to ic rapier Heart of the Sun

Francesca lunged out to attack, rapier drawn A yellow force field protected the white dragon It was a troublesoular attacks could penetrate

Exactly―― Like Ilya

Francesca thrusts the on, and it collides with the forcefield

”Always, always, things just have to be difficult!!”

―― Francesca took another step forward

Whether due to radiance eic rapier responds by shi+ning brighter Anyone spectating would feel the rush of power

”Go! Fran!”

”Break through!”

In the end, the forcefield rates

Francesca's ic rapier continues with the momentum from the thrust and pierces deep into the stoon!

”GUOOOOO!!”

The white dragon roars with it's atrocious voice, and swings its body around in attempt to crush Francesca As if I would allow that!

Pushi+ng h rab Francesca, as unable to retreat on her own, and ju onto her It was a close call With a frae, even size can beco destruction to it's surroundings just by ra around

”How reliable you are, Alice”

”It seems like most of the people I know don't stop to think of the consequences before ju into a situation…” I put soon, as I chide Francesca on ―― I feel a chill shoot down my spine

”Wha-!? It plans to fire a round in the middle of this on took a stance with all of its feet squared on the ground, and it's horn begins to sparkle and throws arcs as if electrified

”So it doesn't matter to you whether it hits friend or foe?! You've made me come to despise you!”

Simply put, for those in the crossfire, it isn't a simple matter of 'you'll be fine if you just move out of the way' I check behinddesperately against the enemies

And beyond thehts Beyond even that, there are skirh the area where the dragon ra in a juon breath, this is ――!

”There is no choice, but endure it! Fran, get behind raspthe fight, then she loves, the issue is, you ic bullet infused with a spell And each glove is only loaded with one ic shot Despite that, there is no choice but to use it at this time!

”Cast release! Icicle Garden!!”

The spell erects a barrier of ice The white dragon dismissed the barrier as if to say ”Why should I care about that,” and unleashed a blast of breath, as a concentrated beam, towards us

”――Kuh!”

That's Till's ic power To keep the Breath attack at bay, I continue to pour out ic at an enorer than the ice dragon?!!

”Even with h it with only Thunder”

If I used Lightning… what if they could be combined?

If possible, I want to land a direct hit while the dragon isn't using its breath attack, and it's forcefield is down Without that, I have no chance of winning this Therefore, first――

”Endureeeeeee!!”
