Elle was petrified At the same tiht I heard the wrong words, so I asked the Dragon Mother again

「Excuse me…What did you just say? 」

「Hmm?

The Dragon Mother and all of her followers opened their

「Well then My subordinates will prepare for the holy sword cereht after the last supper Listen to me, Elle Until then, you can relax and spend time with your friends… 」

Afterwards We caon temple in silence as if our souls were pulled out from our bodies

No one talked for a while We were perplexed and we just walked around the Dragon Village as if andering around

Before long, Mash stopped and he opened histo do? 」

「Going to do what…? 」

「Idiot!! Your fate was decided zation!! Are you really okay with that!? 」

Elle looked a little troubled

「Well…If that's uess I have no choice 」

「”I have no choice” you say…What's wrong with you!! 」

Elle smiled aardly

「Elle… 」

Mash looked devastated while Elle sent ht, yes!? It's really okay, Lisutan!? 」

「Ye…Yes… 」

I answered her as I gritted my teeth

…I came here as a Goddess whose purpose was to save the world Geabrande But to be suddenly told to sacrifice a comrade's life in order to save this world…Is it really okay? Should I not worry? However, Elle herself told us that she illing to give up her life for the greater good If that's so, then…

No…This seems off…I wonder…Is this really fine?

No ht about it, I could not co around like crazy

I could no longer think properly, so I sought so a Goddessto say on this…matter? 」

As I tried to ask for Seiya's advice, he was not nowhere to be found When I looked around, I saw that he was talking with a dragon man of a tool shop in a shadowy area

「Dear custoility”! If you eat this seed, your agility will increase by ten times more! The human towns don't sell this rarity! 」

「Is it really okay for me to eat that? 」

「No matter how much seeds you eat, you'll be just fine! 」

「If you're lying to ive you Be forewarned, I will sue you 」

「You are a very suspicious custoon God of e that it is harive me a little 」

「Seiya, wait a second!! What are you doing over there!! It's not the best tirily at hiold coins froht some items, Seiya turned around at last and asked o ”what” onto Elle as well!! 」

Then, Seiya gazed at Elle with piercing eyes

「It's already been decided ill happen her I don't have anything else to say on thatthe day 」

Whoa…!

He spoke eon Mother, however, his second phrasing showed his true cold-hearted characteristics

Elle's s else to add to this hs nervously It's just as Mister Seiya said! 」

…I know It's true that her fate was already decided It's all about saving this world, and nothing else More than anything, she's prepared to face the ordeals of her destiny…

Before I knew it, the sun began to fade away In an instant, I noticed that dragons wearing armors stood in front of us and kneeled

「The last supper is ready now We will guide you to the Dragon Valley, so please cohland and we arrived at an area on top of a hill that was lit by the lights of several torches I noticed numerous wooden tables and chairs lined up On the tables, there was stea food and expensive wine placed on the top, and dozens of dragonwith each other

There was a particular luxurious table at the center The Dragon Mother sat on that table as she drank solass She noticed us and requested

「hello Goddess, hero and Mash too, please come this way 」

When Elle tried to coon soldiers stopped her

「Lady Elle, please change into these clothes… 」

「What…Elle…! 」

Mash tried to grab Elle's hand, but he couldn't reach her The dragon soldiers took Elle away as she kept looking back at an uneasy Mash

Suddenly, the Dragon Motherclap with her hands

「Now everyone Until Elle changes her clothes, let us enjoy this banquet 」

A dragon soldier pushed both Mash and I and ere forced to take a seat

「The villagers prepared all of the food on this banquet Come on, feel free to taste it and eat as many as you like 」

「Ye…Yes… 」

I had no appetite at all Still, I was told to eat sootsome soup but he looked unenthusiastic

However, Seiya did not eat anything from the banquet, and, instead, he drank a preserved water that he had prepared beforehand

Young dragons ca to Seiya and the rest of us with a plate on their hands

「Listen! We on children had prettier faces than the adult dragons I felt my heart heal for a brief moment, so I accepted a cookie with a smile

「I want the Mister to try it too! We did our best to bake the closely at Seiya to make sure he would behave properly Seiya noticed s to the innocent children Seiya reluctantly picked up a cookie and he chew it in silence
