We Live in Dragon's Peak

No matter how many instructions Old Sleighsta gave you, you can't lead Lyla to the village on your own without permission from the Ear Elders.

So me and Mistral headed to the village first, to get permission.

Luiseine meanwhile means learning how to assist Lyra from Old Sleighsta, so she also left a message in Moss Square.

By the way, Luiseine went to visit the village of the Ear Long clan several times last year after being guided to the moss square, and now she is allowed to visit without permission, just like me.

Me and Mistral went into the woods of ancient trees side by side.

Speaking of which, Mistral and I have been walking alone in the woods since we went under the Spirit Tree.

"Hehe, yeah. Glad you remember."

Mistral's smile makes my chest squeal suddenly.

Just Mistral and me. Seems like there have been many times before, not really. There's always another girl on my side, and it's been a long time since we've been alone like this.

And when I think about it, I get nervous as soon as I can for some reason. I wonder why.

Hold down the squealing chest and take a deep breath.

Then the clear air of the ancient woods seemed to permeate the whole body, and it felt good.

"What's wrong? Does your chest hurt?

Mistral seems to have mistaken me for stopping suddenly and taking a deep breath with his hand against his chest.

"Yeah, I'm not. I got a little nervous."

Mistral walks over to me. [M]

Are you nervous when you're with me?

"No, no. I'm not."

I'll rush to deny it, but Mistral gives me a slightly anxious look.

"I'm sorry. It's really different. I didn't think I could be alone with Mistral like this, so I was happy and my chest was pounding."

"Oh, I'm glad to hear it."

Mistral, who understood that my nervousness was coming from the light, returned to smile and stroked my head.

"I'm glad to be with you, too."

"Really?"

"Oh, you doubt it?

I wonder if Mistral lights up a little too. I feel sweeter than usual. [M]

As soon as I put my right hand on that evidence, Mistral will shake my hand back, even though it is a blur. And the two of us walk through the woods of ancient trees holding hands.

Usually, they're going to slap me in the hand.

In order to get to the village of the Ear Long clan, we have to go through the woods of ancient trees first. While I was holding hands with Mistral, I proceeded into a forest without even a beast path, while the giant trees were forested.

There's so much I want to talk about, but the other way around, it's too much and I'm having trouble telling you what to start with.

I lost my chance to speak while I was doing so, and I became silent.

But it's nice to walk in the quiet woods with Mistral.

The little bird chirping sounds like light music. The howl of the beast, which is heard from time to time, makes us feel the depths of the forest, and the muscles of light, zero from the ceiling of the thick branches, seem to guide us.

Mistral also seems to enjoy an atmosphere where there is no conversation but it feels good, and I don't feel compelled to find the topic and break this silence.

For the time being, Mistral and I proceeded silently through the woods of ancient trees.

And when I realized, at some point, the two of us, we were walking through the dragon forest. What makes ancient tree forests decidedly different from dragon forests is the air that makes them feel sacred and the giant ancient trees.

The ancient trees disappeared around us, turning into ordinary trees, filled with air and signs of sanctity, even if it was clear.

"Come on, let's find the old tree"

Until now, there were only ancient trees everywhere I looked, but as soon as they were gone, now I have to find an ancient tree that I no longer see at all.

Something that I find a little unreasonable, but I can't help but go to the village of Ear Long Clan. Me and Mistral, looking around, now proceeded to the dragon forest.

"I've been wondering,"

"Hmm?"

Mistral looks back at me strangely when he finally opens his mouth.

"I wonder if the border between the ancient woods and the dragon woods exists"

Behind the woods of ancient trees stands the moss square where the old Sleighsta is and, even further back, the spirit tree. So here is a constant, powerful curse of stray and juncture strewn out by Sleighsta Old, and ordinary people will never be able to get in.

The dragon forest, which extends further outside the ancient woods, is also under the stray curse of Sleighsta Old, and it is because of this that we cannot reach the village of the Ear Elders without following the steps, or when we notice that we are walking deep in the woods.

And we come and go between the forest of dragons and the forest of ancient trees every time we need something, but we never saw the border.

"You still look at strange places."

"Really?

"I've been here since I was a little girl, but I never thought about it."

"Really? Ah. But look, I was usually led out of the dragon forest into the ancient woods. If we proceed without hesitation, I think we will reach the woods of ancient trees, wondering what the view of that border is."

"Right. You and Louiseine are coming from the outside, so maybe that raises some questions. You want me to look for you next time?

"Yeah! Let's go find them both!

"Oh, you're leaving the other daughter-in-law and the little one. I'm glad, though?

"Yes, I did."

It was too floating and I accidentally dug a grave. If this is known to the other women, what will I do?

"Heh heh, I've got Elnea's weakness."

"Gu, forgive me"

Mistral clings to me. But Mistral turns to me with a strange gesture. [M]

I wonder if these little things pile up and I can't get my head up Mistral.

I'd like to go strong with the pavilion lead whites, but they're not so sweet in the world.

Instead, I can only see the future in the sky these days.

and ho......

"Yes, stretch your spine more. Walk tight, or you'll fall."

Mistral said, keeping his arm close to me on the side where he was holding his hand, and starting to walk as far as his shoulders touched.

I feel the plumpness of Mistral's skin up close. [M]

But as a man, you mustn't be lighted or upset!

With perseverance, I walk beside Mistral.

Then, this time, Mistral let go of the hand that was connected, wrapped his own arm around mine, and came closer.

Around both arms, I feel the slight softness of Mistral's chest.

I came to this, too, and my face turned bright red.

"Hehe, not yet"

Grunt, looks like they tried it. Mistral looked at me sideways and smiled.

Oh, what a pity I am. If it's true, I should even have to show you one of the places I look good here and blush Mistral the other way around.

I don't know which one is the man and which one is the woman.

I dropped my shoulder without being shown my good looks, but Mistral seemed satisfied with the teasing.

Keep the grin spilling and let the steps resume. Put your arms together, of course, and stay close.

I was in the shape of a pull at first, but on the way, I walked the other way to lead the Mistral, trying to regain my honor.

And they were close, and I was a little excited about Mistral's temperature, and I walked through the dragon forest and followed the steps to the village of Ear Long Clan.

In front of the village is a full flower garden. Colorful flowers bloom here every season, and the air filled with the scent of flowers is pleasant whenever you come.

When me and Mistral show up in front of the village, the ear elder villagers I see greet me with ease. That was a verbal ease to the neighborhood's familiar, and in an instant it felt like it had melted into the village.

"Oh, it's rare for the two of us to come alone"

On his way to Grandma Yuri's house, the Great Elder, he met Mr. Carly, an Ear Elder warrior.

Mr. Carley is a bowman. Fly an arrow of superior speed, unimaginable from a slightly skinny body. I've seen warrior bowmen of the Dragon Nation, but I've never met anyone who could hit as accurately and rapidly as Mr. Carley.

"Hello, Carly"

"Long time no see"

Mr. Carly approached me and Mistral with a laugh.

"The two of you sneak up on each other. Elnea, I can't believe you fell in love with Princess Dragon."

"Ho, I wonder if you're in love with me"

I still wrapped my arms around him and looked at Mistral, and Mr. Carley laughed and I blushed in the light.

But Mistral looks strange, and he gently flushes the words of me and Mr. Carly.

"It's rare that you're in a village during the day."

Mr. Carley is also the head of the Ear Elder Warrior, usually diving into the Dragon Forest and guarding. So sure, it was unusual to see them in the village during the day.

"No, I have some business to attend to."

Desperately, Mr. Carly showed us the bow he was carrying.

Mr. Carley's bow was a composite bow made from ancient wood, not decorative, and boneless like poking a practical part. But the bow contained deep scratches like a strong external pressure.

"It's unusual for you to hurt your bow."

Mistral also looks at Mr. Carly's bow damage and is surprised.

"I took an unconsciousness. As much as I'm embarrassed."

"Are you unconscious? I wonder if any disturbed people are breaking into the woods."

Who the hell is it that Mr. Carly, a warrior of skill, takes his unconsciousness and damages his favorite bow?

Mr. Carly is an ear elder and has always been good at lurking in the dragon forest and reading the signs of his opponent. And even in an emergency, if you are an ear elder, you can use space leaps to avoid them. And yet you've damaged your weapon, which means you've been completely unintended.

"Old Sleighsta didn't say anything, but it feels dangerous?

"I guess Master Sleighsta didn't move because we were dealing with it. The target is a baboon. Horribly fast, cunning and fierce."

To the name of the unheard warcraft, I see Mistral.

"It's a kind of monkey warcraft. I hear hard black hairs don't pass through any of the blades."

"Such a warcraft in the forest of dragons? You're not one of the Great Wolf Warcraft."

The Great Wolf Warcraft and his companions are still in the Dragon Forest for some reason. Good thing Old Sleighsta is reticent, it feels like he's halfway there.

But the Warcraft, which has been influxed in the case of the Great Wolf Warcraft and the Decaying Dragon, has been banned from all evil in the Dragon Forest by an arrangement with Old Sleighsta.

There's nothing else about attacking people. Yet I can't believe you attacked Mr. Carly, who protects the woods.

"Probably the warcraft of the stream. I asked the good warcraft, but they didn't see it on Dragon Peak."

Rarely do warcraft in the Dragon Forest provide information to the Ear Elders.

Mr. Carley was following the baboons, according to information from the Warcraft.

"Now the Warcraft and their companions are watching. As soon as I change my bow, I'll be right back."

"Yes, then we will accompany you."

Tell me, Mistral, look at me.

I thought it would come. Mistral is also an old Sleighsta caretaker and always cares about the Dragon Forest. There's no way she can't move into this crisis.

I nodded forcefully. [M]
