We Live in Dragon's Peak

The buffer zone is mountainous.

We changed places and moved to Momo-chan's hideout.

"Oh meat, yummy, shiitake"

"It seems to fit my mouth and it's good. Momo-chan, please eat more. Please eat Mikan with your stomach full."

Momo-chan and Mikan stick to their cheeks when Rooise puts a meat substitute on the plate.

Momo-chan, whose wild life has become soaked in her body, doesn't usually seem to cook much. Well, you don't cook much, do you?

That's why delicately seasoned dishes become rare foods.

There is no way, but it feels good to watch Momo-chan and Mikan eat plenty of meat as they instinctively bump into meat.

Let's keep up the good work.

Why don't you learn to cook little by little from now on?

"Mist, that's a good idea." That's right, let's open up a cooking class for Momo-chan next time. ”

"Hawah. Master Rooiseine." But if there's a lot of cooking smoke, you'll find it here. ”

"Gugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugu. Smoke, false magic, demonization, cell"

We are surprised at Momo-chan, who talks like a normal person, saying that it is fine if the smoke itself is extinguished by magic.

Usually, it's hard to even do that.

Well, I guess I couldn't do it with the magic that was the basis of my sorcery.

We will be impressed by Momo-chan's off-standard magic and ability to handle it without difficulty.

"I have to do my apprenticeship, too." Now, let's develop a new technique that will make life more convenient! "

Ernesto, you're going to destroy something again.

Ernesto is going to destroy something again.

"Ernea, now Ha, Winged, No, City, Destroyed"

"Momo-chan, don't make a strange prophecy!"

Yuferia and Nina have given Momo-chan a misunderstanding.

Sefina and Madeline comforted me with their cheeks and shoulders.

“By the way, we'll talk about it in the future.”

And after having a good meal, seriously discuss the future.

First of all, where should I go?

The shadow of the Emperor Venerable Mansion was hidden in the mountainous area, which was a buffer zone for demons and gods.

We must disrupt the activities of the Imperial Palace and, in some cases, remove the Divine Clan from the buffer zone. If we don't do that, we won't be able to free Louilala and the others.

That said, even if I moved with the Dark Yakuza, I wouldn't be able to catch the tail of the Emperor Mansion.

So, what should we do when we enter the buffer zone? When I asked everyone's opinion, Momo-chan raised her hand first.

Yes, Momo-chan!

Wings, streets, raids!

Rejected!

Momo-chan, I'm not the Destruction Dragon King, am I?

All of a sudden, I'm not going to visit the city of the alien race and destroy it for no reason.

Everyone laughed at Momo-chan's sudden remarks.

But Momo-chan was surprisingly serious.

"No. Winged, Weird, Shii."

Hmmm. What do you mean?

Apparently, it was just words.

Apologizing for the laughter, we listened seriously to Momo-chan's words. [M]

"Divine tribe, winged tribe, Th, Acts, Cité, Le. How many times do I have to chase you, pay you?"

Even before receiving advice from the giant demon king, Momo-chan had noticed signs of the Divine Clan and the Winged Clan in the southern part of the Heavenly Mountains.

"Itumo, Ha, Winged, Escape. Fragile. A few mo, a little nai"

It seems that the winged tribe sometimes set foot in the Heavenly Mountains. But Momo seems to have missed it.

Since the number of winged tribes is small, and they are not as strong as the demons and gods, Momo-chan seems to have decided that even if they enter the Heavenly Mountains, they will not become a threat.

However, it seems that it hasn't been the same lately.

"Divine race. There are wings, and there are clans, and there are guides, and there are de, and there are mountains, and there are Eyo, and Uto, and Sul. Dakara, Ikai, Shi, Teta"

"It's true, Mr. Wender said it before." The Emperor of the Divine Clan first levelled the country of the Southern Divine Clan, then ruled the countries of the Western Clan before challenging the Demons. So the Emperor Venerable Mansion has come to see it? But wait. The Imperial Palace is not an organization of the court, is it? "

"I'm convinced that the Divine Clan is investigating how to cross the Heavenly Mountains in preparation for future plans." But don't you think the Imperial Venerable Mansion is in charge of the mission? "

"Ernea-san, Mr. Mist." Please wait a moment. That doesn't mean that the Divine Clan is acting alongside the Winged Clan in the Emperor Venerable Mansion, right? ”

Why don't you tell me?

Since there was a preconception that the Emperor Venerable Mansion had been confirmed in the buffer zone, it seemed that the Divine Clan who tried to enter the Heavenly Mountains also assumed that it was the Emperor Venerable Mansion.

In other words, Momo-chan should first enter the country of the Winged Clan and investigate the Divine Clan?

Uuh, no, uu. Winged, City, Destruction Slate, Ba, Winged, Phobia, Te, Divine Clan Kara, Hands, Leader

I knew it was an aggressive plan!

Momo-chan laughs with her stomach in my pocket.

Are you kidding me from what I just said?!

Everyone started to notice that they were caught in Momo-chan's trap and laughed together.

Momo-chan has a surprisingly fun personality.

No, it's the pleasant character that makes Priscia and Alicia your best friends!

"You've been eaten a lot by your flesh." But I don't think it's a mistake. In order to drive the Divine Clan out of the buffer zone, it would be necessary to break the relationship with the Winged Clan, wouldn't it? "

"That's right. I can't tell you that the Divine Clan entered the Heavenly Mountains with the Winged Clan, but at least I can feel that the Divine Clan and the Winged Clan are somehow in tie-up." Maybe we need to break the relationship. "

As a winged tribe, I guess I'm just trying to survive in the buffer zone while maintaining equilibrium, with little relationship to the demonic and divine tribes.

However, considering the circumstances behind the divine clan and the demands from Kusharira, the choice we were given was most effective in breaking the relationship between the divine clan and the winged clan and having the divine clan retreat.

In some cases, we should enter the winged city to gather information?

However, the Winged will treat humans as slaves, right?

I understand the dangers of Rooiseine.

If we go into the buffer zone and come into contact with the Winged without any help, we might have a problem.

The Dragon Man Mistral, the Shrine Maiden Louiseine and Madeline are still servants, and the rest of us are only good prey.

"Hmm. I wish the Winged had known each other?"

Unfortunately, everyone gathered here had never even met the Winged.

Haha. Then it's dangerous to go to the city all of a sudden.

"Is that...?"

Momo was playing happily with Mikan and Nimia. On the sidelines, we carefully planned our next plan.

So Leviathan is going to be free!

"Hmm. What a free move." Convenient guy. But if you need anything, I'll be right with you. Next, I will make my true fear known to the gods. "

The place changed and we were in the buffer zone.

When Momo-chan and I made a promise to play again, we rode southward through the Upper Heavenly Mountains on Nemir and Levaria, and went down to the ground in the mountains of the buffer zone.

From here, we will attempt to gather information while travelling through the buffer zone on foot.

If we can make contact with the friendly winged tribe, we will deepen the relationship and respond in an ad hoc manner when we encounter the god tribe or the Imperial Residence.

However, with the Levaria of the Flying Dragon on the side, it became more prominent than necessary, so unfortunately, it became a different action.

Nevertheless, Levaria will always fly near us.

By the way, Nemea is getting smaller and relaxed on my head.

When we see Levaria take off roughly, we begin our journey deep into the mountains.

"There are still a few traces of Tsubaki on this road." So it's a road that is used occasionally, right? Is there a settlement nearby? "

The place where we got off was hidden behind the mountains. It was close to the foot of the Tenkami Mountains.

From the sky, the surrounding mountains weren't built for people to live in.

This path also leads to the Heavenly Mountains behind it, but it stops at the foot of the mountain range.

In other words, there are likely to be a few people who use this path, but they are not the kind of people who enter the Heavenly Mountains.

Anyway, let's move on.

We take a leisurely walk along the mountain path where the surrounding trees create shade.

"When we walk together, it reminds me of when we traveled to the land of the gods." It was a lot of hard work back then, but the trip itself was fun. ”

Whether it's the Dragon Peak or the Forbidden Territories, there are still places we've never visited.

I was excited about where I wanted to travel next and what I wanted to do on my trip.

You guys, this is the land of an unknown race, so please be vigilant around you for now.

Even Mistral, who gave advice, walked chatting to Wakasa.

Then the first day passed, the second day passed safely, and the third day came.

The mountain landscape and mountain trails continue uninterrupted.

Isn't it strange? The road is solid, so it seems like it would be good to have a home or a village?

There were only monsters to encounter, not even beasts.

Well, demon beasts aren't the kind of animals I would normally encounter.

Nevertheless, it is strange that there is a road but no sign of people.

I did not neglect to be alert to the surrounding area so that there would be no surprise strikes by the winged tribe.

I read the signs more widely than usual, but there was no sign of anyone hiding behind the walls, and there was no sign of the village at all.

I wonder if it's too peripheral for the Winged to come to too often?

If you think about it, the winged can fly, so don't use the road on the ground. Such questions began to be discussed in the family.

The Leviathans have passed over us roughly. And as he roared, he flew into the distant sky.

Guys, be on your guard.

Even Leviathan is not playing.

Even if we move freely, our dragon minds will stay within reach. The Leviathan went out of his way to fly low and roar.

I mean, be on guard against something.

Is there a winged tribe nearby?

But I don't see any signs so far, do I?

Mistral and Rooiseine looked around.

I don't have any sense of discomfort either.

That said, there may be someone like Momo-chan who can take the ultra-high technique of not letting her read signs by merging into the world by magic.

Be alert to your surroundings, paying attention to your sight and hearing as well as your sense of reading signs.

"Hmm. You don't feel uncomfortable after all, do you? I can't believe it, let's move on."

As we raise our guard, we will move forward again.

Perhaps because of the awareness of hearing, the sound of the trees swaying in the wind, the sound of the wind blowing through the forest, and the sound of birds and animals are heard more than usual.

……

With that, I suddenly felt uncomfortable. [M]

A bird flew in.

It flew straight towards us and stopped at a branch of a nearby tree.

And look down at us.

Raptors. But it was smaller than an eagle.

Hello, bird.

I greet the bird cheerfully.

Everyone laughs at my sudden action.

I laugh that I am a fool to greet a bird. [M]

But inside, everyone was not laughing.

At first, it was a little uncomfortable.

Normally, a bird would fly vigilantly straight into a group of people.

Moreover, they flew near us and looked down on the branches of the tree without escaping.

That's why I called.

But I didn't hear back from the birds.

We have earned the ability to listen to the voice of all things before the Dragon Heart.

So, if you care, you can hear the birds.

However, the bird that stopped at the branch was unresponsive to my cheerful greeting and without making fun of me.

Obviously, uncomfortable birds.

And we were told the answer in advance.

"Gugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugu. Winged, Qi, Fuke, Te. Le winged, creature, fuck, le"

Momo-chan said that.

The Winged can use unique techniques to manipulate wings and winged creatures.

It was said that they could use birds and insects to release them like a magician, and that they could share their visions and examine how they were in the distance.

However, since the used creatures cannot fly far away, it seems that vision sharing is not as high-performance as Wender's magic.

And now.

A bird with an uncomfortable feeling flew in front of us.

The bird looks down without reacting to my voice.

It's definitely a manipulated bird, sealed in its instincts and ego!

Foolish me to say hello to the birds. Everyone laughs at it. And while behaving like it's visible from a third party, we walk.

While doing so, he was more alert to his surroundings.

The birds are being manipulated, so they won't understand what we're realizing.

If you let your guard down, you'll be able to get around well when you have to.

Laughing at each other, we continue on the mountain road as usual.

As I was watching my surroundings, several signals approached me from the front.

"Ernea"
