We Live in Dragon's Peak

"So. Did you find anything out about this investigation?

Because of the shards collected by me and Mr. Rubia, the mirror had roughly regained its shape before it was crushed.

The mirrors are flat and just cracked fragments reflect us peeking in.

Unlike the stones found on the summit of the forbidden Ganoderma Mountain, they are shaded like a reflection of the blue sky. There is something carved on the back of the mirror, but this is hard to discern due to the inability to collect fragments.

Size, like Oz said, maybe two fists.

Exactly like saying "stone," holding it so it doesn't break the mirror you put together is a lot heavier.

But that's all.

The feel and weight in my hand are normal stones, and I don't feel particularly unusual.

If this is like sealing something, the contents have fallen out a long time ago.

Focusing your consciousness doesn't make you feel sanctified or anything.

Like me and Mr. Rubia, Charlotte peeks into a broken stone mirror.

I wonder what she feels when she sees the situation of this ancient mirror and the Kyouo temple that turned into this mere shard of stone.

To my question, Charlotte puts her hand on her chin.

"It's something I knew. Again, the mirror won't come back to life just because it was smashed. Then...... That's just... Is that what this is about?"

And I'm convinced of something by myself, yeah, nodding Charlotte.

"Mr. Elnea."

"Yes?"

"But the Fox Warcraft is making good new mirrors, right?

"I don't know if things are going well, but I think you're working on your old habits, okay? Looks like Mr. Zildo's gonna put his hands on it."

"That, any day, will be served here, won't it?

"I think Oz is willing to do that, huh?

"But you just told me to make it, and you didn't tell me to give it to you, did you?

"... when you ask me. But I made it. You'll give it to me, right?

Hmm, and Charlotte checking the status of Oz.

Rubia was happy to hear our conversation and find out that a new mirror was being made.

"Okay, Mr. Elnea. May I show His Majesty the finished mirror before the Fox Warcraft devotes it to us?"

"Mm-hmm. You might have been granted permission to enter the embargo, and I'm sure you'll think about the future. They need to clean up the witch, and if possible, they want to do that in the old procedure. That's about the guy you know back in the day, right, Charlotte? Why?"

On the other hand, Charlotte smiled back at me like she had come up with an evil blush.

"Now, here's your suggestion. To Your Majesty, I think it would be better to show you what has been completed. Therefore, I will advise you on the purification of the witch, so let me show you first. Oh, I'd like to surprise Your Majesty if I could, so sneak in."

"Yeah. You surprise and prank that guy, too, don't you?

"Oh ho ho. If you live long enough, you'll need some stimulation."

Old Sleighsta, too, convinces me that's why I like pranks so much.

Though, Charlotte also plays tricks that surprise the giant demon king.

I assumed on my own with absolute subordination, but it doesn't seem as tough as I thought.

Well, well.

You've lived with me for thousands of years, haven't you? If we're not somewhat close, we'll be stuck breathing.

"Well, I'll show you sneaky. But are you in your usual place when you're done polishing?

"That's it, already. I'm thinking about going home after this."

"Does that mean the investigation is closed?

"Yes, because I was able to confirm what I needed. Personally, it's been the first great harvest in thousands of years. Thanks to you, Ernea."

It's creepy enough that my spine is about to freeze to be thanked by the Demons.

I'm sorry to stare at you, Charlotte.

And it was Mr. Rubia who pointed an equally unfortunate gaze at me.

"Ernea, you guys are leaving now, right?

"Yeah. I was just attached to this guy's investigation in the first place. There are people waiting for you back home."

To Mr Rubia and Mr Wiesel, I feel really sorry for him.

You've always lived with your family alone, taking care of the announcements your ancestors received, haven't you? There, we, the outsiders, stepped in reluctantly.

Rubia and Wiesel, who have touched non-family people, have taken a strong interest in society and people outside.

Maybe both of them will have children and go out and earn money in the outside world. But before that, it's given me unnecessary stimulation, and this is how I feel lonely.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rubia"

"No, it's good. It was fun to meet you. Besides, it's not a lifetime goodbye, is it?

Mr. Rubia looked at Revalia with anticipation.

Revaria, it's still round.

"Yeah, you are. When the new mirror is finished, I'll come with Oz to serve you."

Yes. This is with Lila and Lady Lenaira.

We have Levaria and Neemia.

Do me a favor and come back here to see me.

"Oh ho ho. Elnea, your range of activities is expanding."

"Right. One day, I have a feeling I'm going to be working my way around the world."

"Now, we need you to build a little more strength. At least to the point where I won't die if I get serious."

"No, no, no, what about that!

How serious is the Demon Marshal?!?

I don't know if Mistral will be safe...

Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure we need to bottom up more strength. I wonder if one day I'll be able to sweat Charlotte against them.

I hope it's not a tear.

"So, shall we go home?"

"Yeah. But wait a minute"

I put it together because of me, and I gently held it back so that the mirror wouldn't collapse, and I gave it back to the altar of the temple of Kyouo.

"Next, I'll give you something decent"

And worship the temple of Kyouo together in front of you. Mr. Rubia prayed with his hands in front of his chest, just like I did.

You said you'd never been baptized, but that's undoubtedly a witch's worship.

Mr. Rubia may be baptized if he goes out to earn money. Then you'll be a fine witch.

Charlotte was behind me and Mr. Rubia's prayers saying "Thank you".

Let's go home, then.

When I finish my prayers, I urge Revaria.

Revalia yawned loudly, wings roughly winged several times.

In a storm, the leaning Kyouo temple screams.

"Come on, it's not very violent."

I rush into a stop.

Then, I beat him with my wings.

"Say... Terrible."

"Bad for you to go under your wings."

"You guys are good friends. I want to get along with the dragon one day."

"Speaking of which, Mr. Rubia can hear everything, too. You can understand Revaria's intentions, too, right?

"Huh. I know."

I was losing it.

That's right. Everyone who didn't have a dragon heart could hear everything and understand the will of the Dragon Clan and the Warcraft.

"Well, the next time we come, we'll bring more dragons."

"Wow, that's exciting!

Glittering eyes, Mr. Rubia.

Even for me, it's fun because I can invite dragon tribes who have extra time to travel.

All right. Let's get Oz to do his best so he can come back here as soon as possible.

Me and Mr. Rubia, we firmly pledge to reunite.

"Bye, Mr. Rubia."

Tell me, I'm moving to Revaria's back.

And I encouraged Charlotte, who was staring at me and Mr. Rubia with thin eyes, who were saying goodbye.

But Charlotte looks at me like that and laughs invincibly at me.

Mmm, I have a bad feeling about it.

"Mr. Elnea."

"Yes......?

"Good luck"

"Oh, are you annoyed?

No way...

A little anxiety passes my chest. [M]

Knowing or not my anxiety like that, Charlotte remained smiling on the ground without moving to Revalia's back.

And with a smile on his face, he softly melted into space and disappeared.

"Ahhhh! I knew I could use the magic of space transfer. Yet you deliberately used us as a means of mobility!!

"No, you demon. You can't use me on your feet while you have the means to travel. '

Me and Levaria raised a grudge growl at Charlotte, who had just returned from one of them.

Mr. Rubia was smiling bitterly on the ground.

"You guys are really funny."

"Be careful. We were bitten by that evil demon."

"Guys, that demon didn't show any bad signs. I'm sure you enjoyed it.

"No, no, that's the nature of the Demons. Yeah, do it and enjoy watching people get in trouble and struggle. Ugh, the next time I see you, I'll let you say hey."

To my determination, Mr. Rubia smiles hehe.

"Hey. You're not a couple or anything, are you?

"Chi, no?

"That's what I thought it was about."

"Haha. I know that demon tribe, and he takes care of everything. They treat me like a normal person, so I'm pretty sure I'm not a bad demon."

I wonder why. Mr. Rubia has a happy grin on his face, although he spared his goodbyes until just now.

That smile is the face you're looking forward to seeing again, isn't it?

I'm sure it is. It must be.

I now urge Revaria to remember a little anxiety in Rubia's mind.

Let's go home.

"Wherever you go, don't just cause problems."

"Kee, it's your fault, right?

What a denial of Levaria's point, even Mr. Rubia on the ground waves to finish his final farewell.

Revaria rose to the sky when he let his wings flap roughly to such an extent that he would not destroy the Nine-Tailed Temple this time.

Then, after several swirls to confirm the topography of the land on which the Nine Tails Temple is built, the path is turned west.

On the ground, Mr. Rubia was waving at me and dropping me off.

I wave from the sky, too.

Levaria roared, leaving the temple of Kyouo behind.

"Hey, Revalia. I thought so. Spent last night in front of Kyouo Temple and didn't feel any strange signs or anything?

Looking down at the visibly shifting terrestrial scenery, I ask what I wondered.

Revalia reminded me of last night with a slight twist on her neck.

"I was feeling uninterrupted signs of demons and warcraft. But I don't feel the signs you think."

Oh, that's Leveria.

You don't have to tell everyone, but you understand my intentions.

What bothered me was what was happening at the temple of Kyouo.

If a broken mirror is causing a distortion in or around the Nine Tails Temple, you thought Levaria should be sensitive.

But I don't think I have to worry about that.

Then again, were there any elements in the Nine Tails temple or mirror that could directly relate to you in gold?

Looks like Bartonoir got a shoulder watermark too...

Only Charlotte looked like she'd found something.

If you go to Demon King's Castle, you'll have to teach the area properly.

Looking back, I don't see any more forests or mountainous areas with the Nine Tails Temple.

Next, I whined to Rubia in my heart because I was going to go play with a bunch of souvenirs.
