We Live in Dragon's Peak

"I'll take the food."

Alf leaves the longhouse with a plate of meat and fruit prepared for Gildia.

Amira looked away anxiously.

"Come on, Amira. Eat plenty and get well."

After carefully washing and drying the peeled fur, Mistral returns to take care of Amira, who is not well.

Amira nodded with a smile, but still feels less able than yesterday.

If you don't make Amira feel any more unhappy, Alex will negotiate with Gildia, and Alf will move with care.Nevertheless, Amira herself cannot do anything at a time when her future is at stake.

Besides, I have to marry Gildia, who I don't like at worst, and I can see her playing with me.

Amira's anxiety sinks us too.

But that's why if it gets dark and dragged to our status quo, Amira-san will be extra worried.

Ah, already!

And it's all Gildia's fault!

If Gildia hadn't brought the problem in, Amira and the villagers would have had a peaceful day.

I will never forgive Gildia, who disturbs people in a small village by her own desires!

That's why we're going to protect Amira and break Gildia's nose.

Nyan...

Nimia, who cared about the eyes of the tribe of gods and did not speak the words of men, also read my mind and nodded.

"All right, let's eat plenty of rice and save up some strength."

"Ernie, you're trying to keep an eye on the night.I can't sleep tonight. "

"Ernie, you're motivating me for the night.It's going to be tough tonight. "

"What is Yufi and Nina talking about!?I didn't say anything about the night. "

My motivation isn't for you, is it?

Priscia also said, "Let's eat a lot and play."I was holding the biggest deer meat with a smile on my face.

Our casual usual laughter relieved Amira of a little anxiety. [M]

"Well, I told Yufi and Nina."

I sneaked out of the longhouse tonight. [M]

Well, from what happened last night, everyone but the village chief's grandfather and Priscia would have noticed.

Nyan

And tonight's gift is Nimia.

Nimia is loosely swinging her long, fluffy tail round my head. [M]

"Now, would you like to take a relaxing walk tonight?"

I look around in the center of the square to decide where to walk tonight.Then I noticed the lights in the mansion.

"Are you late tonight?"

Unlike last night, the house next to the longhouse was lit up from the back of the window even after dark.

Who the hell is going on?

Gildia and the others may be awake, as several signs can be seen from the back of the lighted room.That way, that room is for guests.

I leave the square carefully so as not to be found peeking from the room. [M]And I walked out just like I did last night.

Pass through the small square and enter the trail, then follow the Aomichi trail that extends to sew between the fields.

Then, like last night, some sign followed me.

Oh, my God. I wonder if it's Gwen again?

I dropped my shoulders at the sign of what he was doing without an escort from his master, who was staying up late at night.

But tonight's customer wasn't Gwen.

"Ernie, can you do me a favor?"

"Mr. Alex!?"

I am deeply surprised at the appearance of unexpected people. [M]

"Yann was aware of that."

"I'm sorry if I surprised you.I saw signs of you going out just like last night. [M]I was wondering if I could walk with you for a little while, but it was a nuisance. "

"No, I'm fine. I'm just really surprised."

I mean, Alex was always busy with Amira.Besides, you probably have surveillance eyes, so you didn't think you could move around.

Tonight was also a good night for the moon and stars to illuminate the night sky.

I walk slowly along the narrow path with Mr. Alex. [M]

"Amira, how are you?"

Don't worry, Alex will ask.

Alex has been largely ignored by Amira due to her negotiation and surveillance efforts with Gildia.That's why you're so worried.

"Yes, I'm getting along with everyone at the village chief's house.But... to be honest, I feel like I'm losing my energy.He smiles in front of us, but I'm still worried. "

"I see....."

Amira is a very healthy person.Even though I'm supposed to be the hardest part of it, he cares about us, and he cares about us.

"I thought Amira was the winning character she felt when she was fighting the Demon King, but it seemed different.It's really very family and kind. "

"Amira is also a descendant of the Fighter God.I'm a sister who fights harder than anyone else.But she's actually a sweeter sister than anyone else. That's why.... "

For some reason, Mr. Alex cut off his words there.

What was the next word?

I'm also concerned that Mr. Alex left the Mansion in the middle of the night and came into contact with me.

Why did Alex move now?There must be something going on.Otherwise, Alex would not have acted lightly enough to keep an eye on Gildia.

Speaking of which, I will carefully explore the surrounding signs.

But I couldn't read Gwen or anyone else's tail.

"Isn't that weird? Isn't it too unsuspecting that there aren't any other warriors on the other side of Gwen?"

I was up late at night, but didn't you notice any sign of Mr. Alex leaving the Mansion?

If you're the night escort, I'm sure that songwriter Gwen is awake, and if Alex moves secretly, you'll notice.

When I tilted my neck at Gwen and Gildia's insecurity, Alex, who was walking next door, smiled a little bitterly.

"Gwen is a man who can't eat, but tonight will be fine.It looks like Lord Gildia's still awake, so he can't leave the Mansion with his escort. "

"But if it's Gwen, I'm sure you're aware of Alex's sneak out and my escape.Still, aren't you alert? "

"Even if you notice, it won't move.He's such a man. "

"A man like that?"

I suppose Alex and Gwen knew each other, right?

While Gwen was still working for Wender, he came to the village several times.It would not have been a hostile relationship at that time, so it wouldn't be strange if Alex and Gwen were close.

So, Alex wasn't so alert to the cursor Gwen?When I asked him that, he accidentally shook his neck sideways.

"No, he's the one I should be most vigilant about.Even in this case, it is very difficult because Gwen has his eyes shining next to Gildia. "

"You're a man enough to make Alex say that...But Gwen is just a guard, right? "

I used to work for the martial arts gods, so my strength is perfect.A habitual character has been added to it and it has become a very troubling existence, but it is still the Lord's guardian.If that's what Alex thinks, even Gwen might be able to handle it.

Or is Alex more alert to something else?

Something we're still missing.

Alex walks quietly along the path of the night.

I walked side by side, waiting for Alex's answer. [M]

A wild bird is ringing in the back of the forest.

A small village on the border where occasionally you can hear the beast howling.

Alex spoke as if he had decided something, looking at the quiet village lit by the moon and stars of the night sky.

"... if possible, I want you to take Amira away. I think so."

Eh!?

Unexpectedly, I stopped and looked up at Mr. Alex. [M]

Alex stopped and turned to me. [M]

Alex's face in the dark at night was a serious expression.

"Not only Amira, but Alf too."

"Wait, Mr. Alex!How did you get such a response from my question!? "

I just heard about Gwen, so why is it like taking my brother and sister away!?

Mr. Alex says to me that he is confused.

"Did someone tell you why Amira's voice is sealed?"

"No, I haven't heard from anyone."

Why is Amira's voice sealed?

I've been worried since we first met, but Alex and the others didn't say anything, so I didn't pursue it deeply.

I'm sure there's a reason why I can't say anything else.We explored a lot during the day, but nobody talked about Amira's voice.That's why I think it's a topic you shouldn't tread on cheerfully.

But how does the story of taking Amira and Alf away from us lead to my question to Gwen?

To my doubts, Mr. Alex spoke to me with a difficult face. [M]

"We don't want anyone to know the seal on Amira's voice.But, as you know, Lord Gwen is an insurmountable curve.That's why I want Amira and Alf out of this village before he knows anything. "

"But if you do that, you don't know what Alex and the villagers will do to Gildia!?Maguld also seems to be the Imperial Palace, and it's going to be terrible! "

"Still, we want to protect Amira."

"We....."

I mean, not just Alex's idea, but the will of all the villagers, right?

And with Amira, Alf wants to escape too.....

"I believe that whatever punishment we suffer, if Alf and Amira survive somewhere, the sorrow we have inherited will come true someday.And there are others who have left the village. "

"Absolutely not!"

Alex and the villagers say you can die instead of leaving Alf and Amira alone!

Even the lord Gildia and the Imperial Palace can't get out of the Empire.That's why I want you to take me somewhere far away.

However, if you cause a disturbance like that facing the lord, you must definitely abandon it.That's why they're trying to settle the disturbances with their deaths.

And now, if people who are away from the village due to earnings and so on can one day gather with Alf and Amira, I think that I can entrust future generations with the wishes that I have inherited with my children.

But I would never choose to abandon one of them to keep them alive!

"If you're going to ask me, I don't like the direction that everyone is going to get through this challenge safely!"

With my strong will, Mr. Alex looked in trouble. [M]

"As a matter of fact, when Lord Gildia arrived, he was sending a messenger to the Mondo border.I was hoping you'd join the arbitration. "

"You're a former lord of the area, and you're a good man, right? Then....?"

"No, unfortunately, I still haven't heard back.It would take a few days for someone like us without wings to get to the island of the lake where Uncle Mondo lives, but since I sent the heavenly people, I thought they would come back as soon as possible in a couple of days or two.I still don't even know what's going on. "

What do you mean?

"Uncle Monde may be deciding not to intervene in this matter."

"Oh no! There's already some sort of agreement between Gildia and Uncle Monde!?"

In the first place, there was a feeling of discomfort when I talked about the landlord, who had a reputation for personality, giving up the territory lightly to the tyrannical man who had grown up.

In other words, Uncle Monde is at Gildia's mercy for some reason.

That means you're still not in the arbitration, and no one can stop Gildia's tyranny.

That's why Alex is taking the last resort to get Amira and Alf out of this situation.

"I don't think there's any more time to lose.Gildia is about to take Amira home tomorrow.So before that.... "

"Don't give up until the end!Like Amira and Alf, I care about Alex and the people in this village. "

Mr. Alex is a good man.Even though it is a tribe of gods, it also handles us gently. [M]Alf and Amira are kind to us.

I don't have much contact with people in the village, but I think their straightforward loyalty deserves respect.

That's why I can't agree with Mr. Alex's current thinking.

There must be something.

There's a way to make everybody happy.

That's why we can't give up until the end.

Once again, Mr. Alex said nothing more about my determination. [M]

Start walking in silence.

I'll walk alongside Mr. Alex, too.

How can we stop the tyrannical Gildia?

The Emperor's Magurd still stands in the way, right?

It feels like it's too complicated to talk because of the glare in Magrudo's eyes.

Besides, one of the guards cut his head off.

"After all, it feels like Gwen's movement is too hard to read and restricted."

"Exactly, I think he deserves Lord Gildia's escort.But I want you to remember that.The most worrying thing I have right now is..... "

Mr. Alex stopped there again and looked at me from the front.And I mouthed the continuation of the words.

It's Amira.

Eh!?

I stand up without knowing what it means.

Alex gave me a serious look. [M]

"What if Amira's seal is broken?We'll do everything we can to kill Amira. "
