We Live in Dragon's Peak

"Come on, hurry. Those who can afford it, help those below."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! I'm gonna leave my foot behind."

The woman, who was the lord of the local city, exhorts the slaves to go ahead. The red ghost, supposedly nearby, waved the horrible bear's hand and hooked the shepherd first, throwing him in the bare hands. The thrown slave woman screamed and fell to the carriage.

In addition, the demons of the ministers rush slaves. But the treatment was cluttered, but he was definitely taking slaves away.

Late at night.

We were desperately fleeing the bandits who had organized and raided the city.

Put the food in your hand and a few household belongings in your luggage and fly out of the burning lord's mansion. And left the city at first sight as it was.

The lord's woman seemed slave-friendly and did not abandon her. The ministers also draw well on their masters' intentions and try not to do anything absurd to the slaves as much as possible.

It follows a city that dyes the night sky bright red, accompanied by other demons and slaves who have rendezvous on the way out.

"Hey, Luilara. Can we get out of here?

"Elnea, I wonder what you're talking about."

While traveling on foot with the hard-earned residents, I secretly threw a question at my neighbor Luilala.

"Because that woman is a lord, isn't she? I can't believe the lord abandoned his city..."

"Oh, you mean that. I thought that was why you ran away, Elnea."

"I am, see. I can't stand out here, so I'm convinced I'm gonna run away."

Going a little further, see the lady of the lord.

The horse was used up in the role of pushing the luggage car, so the lord's woman had also fled on foot.

The beautiful, rich blonde hair and luscious atmosphere stand out. It's easy to find a lord's woman, even if she's the one who ran away.

But because of its appearance, it had become a landmark for those who had fled, and when they realized it, it had become a large area of over a hundred people.

"If it does, the lord will have to flee, too."

Luilara looks back at the burning cities that are already far apart. Then I looked back. [M]

It should have been far away, but the hustle and bustle of the city echoes. If I stared, explosions and new firehands could still be raised and looting could continue everywhere.

"You're a lord, but you don't help the inhabitants?

"That's only if those who can help can help."

"I mean, that lord doesn't have the power to just help?

"You can explore it. That woman is a lord, but she must have some magic inside her."

"But even if you're powerless, what's your duty as a lord?

"Mr. Elnea. The Demons are weak eaters."

"Yeah. That's been so much reminding in the last few days."

"Even though I am a lord, I cannot resist its management. Perhaps that woman had been given the seat of lord just because her family was noble. I'm with people. If history is aristocratic, descendants can gain power even if they are incompetent. But she has no power herself. So if they attack you, you have no choice but to escape or die or be robbed."

"Even if you abandon the people?

"Right. Himself more than others. Elnea, I know she may seem slave-friendly to your eyes, but in the end, I'm the most important thing. In the first place, don't you think if you were really nice, you wouldn't have a lot of slaves?

"... right"

"The strong take everything away from the weak. If you don't like being robbed, you have to fight or run."

Luirala, who says plainly harsh things, still thinks he's a demon, just a little bit.

"Well, I just don't abandon my minister or the slaves I keep, I like to think"

"Yeah. Right...... By the way, who are those bandits?

Even if we formed an inmate party, it's too big.

There were also about three battles outside the Lords' Hall when fleeing the city. Luirala ruled out all of that, but lightly nearly two hundred people were burying demons.

"That's probably the work of the demons ruling around the neighboring territories. In other words, the identity of the bandit is the army of the neighboring territory."

"What!?

"I'm not after the Demon King's throne. But there are as many demons out there looking to expand their territory. Even if the battle for the Demon Throne converges, the Demon King will not always be elected. But no one is to blame for expanding their territory. An disorderly world is most welcome. It's as easy to take territory as this one."

"I see..."

I mean, women walking ahead are the weak ones deprived of almost everything by their neighboring lords, you mean? Even as we were engaged, we saw a loss. So all I could do was take the option of running for myself.

"Come on, don't stop your legs. If we don't get as far away from here as we can, we'll get our hands on you when the city is over."

This is how we are escaped, because the bandits continue to loot with their eyes on the gold and other items left in the city rather than the losers who escaped wearing them. Indeed, once it has settled, it is possible that the slave hunt will begin in an attempt to catch those who have fled.

Luilara pulled my hand and started walking again out of place.

But there was someone waiting for us at the end of our steps.

"I'm sorry I'm late to thank you. Thank you for saving me earlier."

Anyway, against the flow of people who kept walking away from the city, it was the woman of the lord who stopped and waited for me and Luirala.

The woman carefully bowed her head.

If you look only at the waist, you don't think of it as a side-by-side, deserted demon tribe. But you're a demon, aren't you? Besides, until just now, he was the lord who ruled the local city.

"Is that a thank you? Or is it you, Ernea?

To Louis Lara's profound words, the woman returned a luscious grin, hehe.

"My name is Meduria. Thank you, ministers."

And he took my hand and pulled it toward his own chest.

The former lord's woman, again, Mr. Meduria, was dressed the same way she was when she was on the run. I just wove one feather from the top of a thin sleeping roll. Through the thin fabric, Mr. Meduria's body temperature and soft sensations are conveyed.

"Uh-huh."

When I was in a hurry to pull my hand in, Mr. Meduria laughed at me by the throat.

In the distance, Mr. Red Ghost was staring at me as a killer.

"So it's time to ask what it means to hide it? Either we're saved, and you feel like you have the strength not to have to run away?

"Before I do, I think we should decide where to go. Elnea, don't you think so?

"Yeah, when they say which is the priority, yeah,"

Now, I can understand Luirala's intention to ask Mr. Meduria to hide it.

We can't just stand out. [M] If a location is exposed in a place like this, previous actions will be wasted.

But I couldn't sneak out on that spot then.

That's why Louis Lara faked it.

Disputed by Mr. Meduria's minister, he eliminated the bandits who were in the way of escaping. If you use your powers in isolation, you'll stand out, but if you're dispersed by a large group of demons, it's hard to find. Not to mention the arithmetic that if you get confused with the lord's ministers, you will delude who used magic.

Luilara used the magic of fire against my expectations because she was not distracted from existence.

Ruirala's operation went well, and in this way he was able to escape the city without ever being able to find his identity.

Mr. Meduria does not know the thoughts of me and Luirala, but he did not pursue them in this setting, whether he decided that escape was a prerequisite and not detrimental to himself so far.

"So, are you going to go?

I was going to ask Luirala a question, but I laughed like Meduria was in trouble.

Apparently, Mr. Meduria doesn't deserve to go. I guess the only dominant area was that local city.

Even I don't have a place to run and hide in the Devil Nation. If I were alone, I'd be better off in a forbidden territory.

Luirala sighed heavily in response to the troubled look on my part and on Mr. Meduria's part.

"Oh, my God. Mr. Elnea, have you forgotten something?

"What, what do you mean?

What do you think I forgot about going?

If you're talking about a forbidden territory, I'm sorry, but I can't. I can't do anything about all this.

Um, I thought about it, but I couldn't think of it, and I gave Luilara an answer.

"Mr. Elnea. This is a land of demons."

"Yeah. Right."

"In the land of the devil, the powerful take everything away from the powerless"

"You're about to be robbed of a lot of things."

"Meduria was stripped of her territory following a raid by a bandit"

"Yeah. I'm sorry to hear that."

"By the way, Ernea, you were raiding the Demon Nation last year, too."

"... I only have a bad feeling"

Can we talk about this more than just going in here? and asked Luilara with only her eyes, but only a grin returned.

Apparently, he's willing to involve Mr. Meduria. Well, at the time you tried to keep it hidden, you're involved in a lot of it.

Mr. Meduria watched me and Luirala's conversation with interest in silence.

The slaves traveling around them were away from us, frightened that they might have a mouth seal if they heard the conversation between the demons. The demonic people were also traveling a bit apart, having regard to Luirala, who had saved their predicament with Mr. Meduria, who was a lord, who had guessed that he was talking about the contents of the intrusion.

My conversation with Luilala and Mr. Meduria is thus exchanged in a space made of considerations around me.

Thanks to you, I don't have to use unfamiliar salutations for Louis Lara, but I'm considerate ahead. What the hell is Ruirala trying to say?

Luilala told me to look back at last year with a bad face.

"Ernea, right after you broke into this country, you destroyed the border fort."

"No, no, I wonder what Luilara is talking about!? That was Lily's fault!

"You blew up the upper level of Demon King Castle, too."

"Oh, that's force majeure..."

"Well, that would have already been taken away by another demon clan"

I swallowed your spit. [M]

"By the way, Ernea, do you remember that you occupied a city?"

"Yes. I don't remember!

Occupy?

I don't remember doing that in any way.

"Hey, thunderbolts were paralyzed then."

……

"The castle must have blown up."

…………

"Perhaps, Elnea, you haven't heard what's going on over there since?

Disgusting memories have come back.

Yeah, no.

The memory itself is a delight to have rescued so many dragon tribes.

I wonder how things were connected now, and my thoughts get boring.

"Over there, Elnea, you eliminated all the necromancers. It follows the way the demonic community works that powerful things take away."

"No, don't say it!

"The Necromancer City is your ruling city, Ernea!

I reached out to seal Luilara's mouth with a grin and a full smile, but I was flabbergasted.

"You know what? His Majesty's army almost pulled a hand from this country, though. There must still be a black-wing army stationed in the Necromancer City. On His Majesty's orders, Elnea, you're defending your territory instead!

"Oh, no, that's stupid..."

Without knowing, I was getting territory!?

Besides, what about that Necromancer city?

No, it was some mistake, and when I saw Luilara to make sure, it was the first step toward the Demon King, and he smiled.

Ugh. You demon. He really wants to tailor me to the Demon King. Isn't Luirala, then, worse off than the demon king of the giant who solicits me in half the play, smiling and dragging me into the bottomless swamp?

"Huh. of the Necromancer City. I see."

Mr. Meduria, who had listened to the conversation silently, looked at me with a deep nod, as if he had noticed something.

If you talk this far, Mr. Meduria, who was a lord, will notice, won't you?

"So I suggest you evacuate to Necromancer City."

"If you go east from here, you can reach Necromancer City sooner or later. That's a plan."

"Grunt. I have no choice, so let's go there and protest that it's not my rule"

"I don't think you'll hear me out, though."

I can't believe there's a connection between Necromancer City and me. If there hadn't been this commotion, I wonder what would have happened to Necromancer City. It's horrible just thinking about it.

I'm sure after a long time, the giant demon king put it up on the topic of "the first time," and said he'd kept it under control or something to create a big loan of his own.

Really, the demons are horrible.

Thus, me and a group of refugees, including Luirala, moved all the way to flee to the Necromancer City.
