"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Immediately after Fleur gave the command, the dark dragon Noyle spread his huge wings while roaring and swung his arms down in one fell swoop!

'Wow!

Geez!

The knights were blown away all at once by the powerful gusts of wind released from the wings, and more than half of the knights fell with a single blow from the impact of so much.

Even those who have managed to stay on their feet are trembling in fear from the killing atmosphere emitted from the glittering red eyes.

''Noil........monstrous sound waves.......goh.''

"Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Hey, what's that noise?

Help!

On the other hand, Queen Litis, who was at Cecily's side, although safe, was simply stunned by the suddenness of the situation.

''Oh, don't stop!

The queen pleads with her, but Fleur takes one look at it silently and continues to drive the knights away on Noir's head.

Woo-hoo-hoo!

I don't want to die!

Although expressionless, Fleur, who is very flippant, has gone towards the capital, chasing after the fleeing knights while muttering more mysterious words such as 'Yes yo.......shiruba'.

Moreover, these knights left their own principal queen behind.....

''As expected of Fleur, that's a brilliant reins of sabaki!

Hey, are you sure it was a good idea?

Seeing me raise my voice in concern, Harle grinned and flew furiously in front of Prince Sidia.

''That wasn't intended to harm you, so it's okay. ........Now that there are no more people in the way, you can talk to your heart's content.''

!

All of the knights have fled from the place due to the commotion, and the only ones left are us, the hero's party and Queen Litis.

........I see......so this is what the two of you are after?

Mother..........

Sidia, what is this all about?

"...we've made a big mistake.

"My mistake...

Prince Sidia nodded in response to the Queen's question and began to tell the story of what happened so far.

◇ ◇ ◇.

Following the words of the god that was given to us as an oracle, 'Pray at the top of the northern mountain', we all headed to the top of the mountain and found the dark dragon Nooyir sealed away.

In the first place, the White Dragon Snow is not a fierce dragon that attacks people.

And the orphans wish to live a quiet life without the interference of the Yazmat nation--and the orphans wish to live a quiet life without the interference of the Yazmat nation.

When Queen Litis learned of these facts, she was stunned with a blank look on her face.

'We were afraid of Snow and even tried to exterminate her. But she saved the orphans who were lost in the snowy mountains, despite the fact that she had been hunted by the humans so long ago and suffered a painful experience.

"You know you're gonna die, but you can't just leave him there.

However, Queen Litis is furious at the oracle, which was only perverted by church officials, and dispatches a group of knights to the snowy mountains to defeat Snow.

Even worse, Snow inadvertently caused an avalanche that caught the Knights in an avalanche, which completely ruined any chance of dialogue.

''How dare I........''

I was in the middle of feeling sorry for Queen Litis, who looked nodding - she tugged on the hem of her clothes with a quirk.

'Onii-chan, hey, hey,'

What's the matter?

After all, who's to blame?

'Ummm...'

When it comes to who's to blame, it could be Queen Litis, the pinnacle of the state, and the church side that misunderstood the oracle.

If Snow hadn't caused the avalanche in the first place, she might have realized the misunderstanding, and the fact that the priest who was afraid of divine punishment chose the path of not returning to the capital of Yazmat was one of the reasons why the story became even more complicated.

........But I had a more fundamental 'source' in my mind.

"Frankly speaking, it's God's fault........

Right....

Hearing my conclusion, Elena also nodded her head with a woof.

It's a good thing that I didn't send out an oracle to begin with, because I could have just said, 'There's a bad dark dragon sealed in the top of the mountain, so think about how to deal with it.

"The gods are really bad at this kind of thing, aren't they?

However, Harle shook her head and spoke to the queen while sitting on Cecily's shoulder.

'But you guys agreed to send the sacrifice. It's a good thing that you're not the only one, because it's a good idea to have a good time.

....

After Harl's words, the queen was immensely disappointed.

Then she walked up to Snow with tears on the ground and raised her head without hiding her tearful face.

''As the ruler of the country, I apologize profusely for misunderstanding you as an evil demon and sending a strike force to defeat you.

"Huh?　No, no, we didn't end up fighting, and we got in trouble for the avalanche!　We're even!

Thank you so much....

Although the apology was followed by a thank you, Snow scratched her cheek in a rather awkward manner.

I've always thought of her as a sisterly figure, but she doesn't seem to be good at this kind of reformed kind of exchange.

As if to shake off the delicate atmosphere, Snow's head swivels to offer a suggestion to the queen.

I'm going to continue to protect the children I sent over here. I will continue to protect the children you have sent here, so don't worry about it and go back to your country. I'm sure all the old men are trembling with fear right now.

Snow is right.

After being chased around by the dark dragon and running away from it, the city of Yazmatian must be in an uproar right now because it has abandoned the queen and returned.

But the queen wiped her eyes and stepped forward as if to plead with Snow.

'How in the world am I to atone for this!　The king of a country who is supposed to lead his people in their wanderings is not allowed to return home at the end of risking the lives of dozens of people. At the very least, to atone for everyone's resentment, even if I throw myself into the mountains--!

Mr. Litis!

Cecily ran up and hugged him, shaking her head and denying the queen's earlier words.

'There is no one who has a grudge against Lady Litis!

'Eh....'

The queen's eyes widened in surprise as her words were unexpected.

The people living in the village, including me, are all people who have no relatives. The people living in the village, including me, are all relatives who have no relatives. We have no reason to resent Litis-sama, who treated us like our own parents and watched over us so warmly.

'But it's true that he didn't turn down the church's offer...'

'It's also to protect us from divine punishment, isn't it?　We all know that Lord Litis, who wants his people to be happy, would have suffered for that decision!

But I'm afraid I'm not going to let you guys...

In contrast to the queen, who was in tears as she choked on her words, Cecily smiled gently and spoke her thoughts, holding her skinny hand, which was hard and showed glimpses of hard work.

'That's why I decided to obey, even at the cost of my own life. To repay the debt of gratitude that we were born and lived up to that point....... Therefore, please don't say such sad things.

Ugh, ugh, ugh...

Queen Litis breaks down crying in Cecily's arms like a little child.

Cecily's gentle embrace of it is like a statue of a saint in a church....

And just as you think the timing is right, a powerful flapping sound comes from the distant sky, a small fairy flies down from the sky a step ahead of you.

Fleur's words, too fast-paced as usual, brought smiles back to everyone's faces.

"d*mn. God and you guys are just getting around too much.

But you don't hate it, do you?

Well, yeah.

I scratched my nose at that and giggled in contentment as I looked at the Queen and Cecily, their smiles back like everyone else's.
