116-116-Futariri Night

That night.

＜The innkeepers of Yazmat Province.

In the end, I have no idea what the prince wanted to do.

Well.....

In the world I once saw, Prince Sidia volunteered to accompany me to defeat the White Dragon.

Moreover, despite the fact that he is not very good at the snowy mountains, which makes him shiver in the cold.

The prince ended up coming with me to help me defeat the white dragon, so it's the same as the last time I saw him.

Despite all that desperately preaching about the fear and ferocity of the White Dragon, in the end, Prince Sidia wanted to accompany us.

Perhaps, "The people of a foreign country are going to the land of death, and we, the people involved, can't just leave it at that! It might be justified like that, but then he would take his own knights and soldiers with him.

''Could it be that the prince doesn't want to defeat the White Dragon...?''

I know I have my suspicions about that, too.

To sum up what Elena is saying, it goes something like this.

The reason the prince told us of the danger of the White Dragon was to get us to refuse the queen's request.

However, contrary to the prince's expectation, Kanemitsu, the brave man, didn't scare us at all and accepted the request to defeat the queen immediately.

As a result, the prince himself offered to accompany her to sabotage the defeat....

However, there is one major problem with that reasoning.

''If you're like Pete the Holy Dragon in Pricia's place, if you don't harm people, but there have been a number of actual sacrifices made so far.

The sacrifices that have been offered to the White Dragon in this country have all been orphans without a body.

In the world I once saw, Sharon was enraged when she later found out the fact, but if the prince is refusing to defeat the White Dragon, that means that he wants to continue to sacrifice the orphans.

''Prince, you don't seem like such an evil person.

"Yes, sir.

Unable to think straight, I stood up and looked out the upstairs window.

The lights of the city were gone, and only the moonlight gently illuminated the quiet countryside.

'Phew.'

The cool breeze gently caressing my skin and the sounds of insects chirping in the background are very comfortable.

Cities like the Holy City of Platena and the Jediite Empire are good, but for me, who grew up in the countryside, this kind of countryside is more comfortable.

".....

Then there was silence for a while.

And then I realized that I had forgotten something very important (........).

"Jeez.

When I met up with the brave party, Satsuki found out that Yupiter's wife-to-be (nazuke) was in the village of the elves, so she left with Yupiter and the fairy sisters (Harle and Fleur) in tow without a word.

In other words, it's just me and Elena alone in this room now (........).

''Jeez.''

And I can feel an awesome look at my back as I'm looking out the window.

Or rather, Elena is saying 'jeez' to herself.

What comes to my mind in this situation is that word Elena once said in the guest room of the Central Church of the Holy King's Capital........

--I'm not going to hate you even if you force me a little bit.......right?

!

Just as I thought my soft, soft hair was swaying beside me, Elena squeezed my right hand.

When I turned my gaze on her in surprise, she was staring at me with a serious look in her eyes, her expression a little strained.

Her white cheeks were slightly reddened and her eyes seemed to be slightly moist.

''Elena........''

"Yes.

I gently place a hand on my small shoulder and stroke my beautiful light blue hair.

''Hmm........''

Elena's face blushed as she let out a breath, and while my heart was racing at the sight of her, I--

bang-bang

....

A knock sounded in the room at an unexpected time.

No, not seriously, this isn't happening.

It's not even a matter of not being able to read the air or anything like that.

I've wanted to punch God in the face for a long time, but for once I want to dropkick him with all my might.

''Err........''

"Freeze Arrow

Elena turns around with a blank look on her face and shoots ice magic at the door!

Then the wooden door panel froze with a cracking sound, and the temperature inside the room instantly became extremely cold....

It's so cold!　There's a hand on the door.　Oh, I can't get it off!　Help!

"...tch.

Elena's tongue is bare, and she's a bastard!

...but that's not the point!

Hey, hey, hey, you okay?

I hurriedly picked up my Lightning Dagger and went to the rescue of the person crying on the other side of the door....
