128 years in the life of the King, 31 days in the red moon.
Today is two days before the scheduled day to head out to defeat the White Dragon.
While the members of the brave party are working on their purchases and preparations, we're going to say....
Seriously...
"Very comfortable~
We had left the inn before dawn and were attacking the snowy mountains to the north.
Although the sun that floated in the sky is a warm sunny day, the coldness of the wind that blows around is comparable to the heavy snowfall area of the Frost Kingdom.
Prince Sidia, who is extremely cold, is also shivering as if her foothold is about to be scraped off, and it's somewhat pitiful.
''Ugh, it's cold........''
"Here's a blanket for you.
Oh, thank you ... bully.
For some reason, Elena has been in charge of taking care of the prince.
In the world I've seen before, when I worked with the heroic party to climb mountains, I was supposed to be taking care of him all the time, but Elena's 'I'll do it! Kanata-san is untouchable!' This is how it's come to this.
But even if Elena doesn't have to do everything, she can share the workload with me.
I don't feel like it's right for Elena to spend all her time focusing on the prince, but I'm not jealous.
And in the middle of being somewhat bewildered, Prince Sidia, who was walking at the front of the pack, turned back to me and opened her mouth.
''At this pace, I think we'll be arriving at our destination soon.
Well, then, if all goes well, I guess I'll be able to accomplish my goal today.
Its purpose is to defeat the White Dragon before the brave men do!
........not.
That's because the destination we're heading to in the first place isn't the mountaintop (.........).
''Indeed, I can feel a slight hint of magical power in this area as well.''
Spirit-sama understands that kind of thing, don't you?
After our conversation at the inn yesterday, I told Prince Sidia that Elena's identity is a water spirit.
Although I was upset right after hearing that, I thought back to her appearance and her many rude actions so far and said, "I see, by the way! He seemed to be convinced.
........Well, as far as the latter is concerned, it's not about the spirits or anything else at all.
''It's about time.......''
As Prince Sidia said this, she took out a small whistle from her pocket that could fit in the palm of her hand and brought it close to her mouth.
''Soooo........''
''What?''
I have no idea what the prince wants to do.
But just as I was thinking, Elena wandered over and leaned on me.
'What's up?'
"Ugh, I don't really like the sound of this...
What? You can't hear me?
"Hmm, it's kind of like, zah, or peek-a-boo.
I have no idea...
While supporting the shoulders of Elena, who is making a bitter face with her index finger stuck in both ears, at that time I suddenly looked towards the summit of the mountain.
Thump thump thump.................
The sound of flapping wings could be heard from far beyond the sky, much farther than the summit of the mountain.
It was much more powerful than the sound of a Lesser Demon or Wyvern's wings, which told us that the owner of the sound was much more powerful than those monsters.
Bassa-bassa-bassa........!
The sound grew louder and louder, and with it came a low rumbling of the earth from the top of the mountain, and a huge mass of snow - hey!
'The noise is causing an avalanche!
Well, no wonder they're making so much noise in the snow on such a sunny day!
"Elena, hurry up and apply defensive magic~..........Elena?
"Eww.........I'm going to throw up.......
Oh, my God.
Elena, the one you're counting on, gets hit by the sound of the flute and goes groggy!
He hurriedly pointed Efreet's ring at the summit of the mountain, but the image of Harlleh, who was enraged by the destruction of the temple, crossed his mind.
''I can see a future where I'm going to hit the White Dragon with a direct hit here, and the future is The End.......''
If I get swallowed up in an avalanche, that's the end of the story!
But Prince Sidheer, on the other hand, seemed to be pleased with himself after finishing his song.
'Prince Sidia! There's a huge avalanche happening!
'Oh, it's okay. She (...) will take care of it.
What...?
Immediately after the prince replied with a carefree look, "she" came from far up in the sky at breakneck speed and landed in front of us with a thump and a roar.
The savior that appeared in front of us, the White Dragon, immediately turned back towards the mountain and opened its huge mouth, which could swallow a human being, and let out a powerful breath from its mouth!
Since she's a dragon, you'd expect her to breathe fire, but what a powerful blizzard of breath she unleashed.
She managed the remote technique of pushing back the approaching avalanche with even more forceful ice, freezing all of the snow in front of her, then turned her head only to spin around with a satisfied look and opened her huge mouth again with a conciliatory smile.
''Hello, Shih-chan. Are those people new residents too?''
