Part 5

The Sixth District, Main Street──

This place was also overflowing with people.

Very often, it looked like they were going to hit someone, enough that the carriage couldn’t advance.

Even while on the carriage, he felt like he would be nauseous from the crowds of people.

Diablo grumbled.

「It seems like it would be faster to just walk.」

「I know rightー」

Shera agreed with an exasperated sounding voice.

Horun talked sounding worried.

「But, it seems like we’d get separated -ssu. And Rem-san is still sleeping too.」

「That’s true……」

Since Diablo wasn’t used to group action, he had forgotten about the danger called “getting separated”. That was a close call.

The degree of congestion, it was as if it were a commuter train.

Rose muttered.

「If Master so desires, then I will take all those that stand in our way and──」

「We should be calm about this. Rose, sit.」

「……Wafu.」

「Shake.」

「Wafuu」

「…………Umu.」

「Are you, not going to do “beg”?」

「Enough, just sit already.」

Diablo couldn’t tell what Lumachina’s expression was as she started talking since she was hiding her face with the cloth, but she raised an uneasy voice.

「Everyone seems to be agitated for some reason. Could there have been some sort of incident?」

Alicia tilted her head.

「Certainly, it is different from normal. The Sixth District is a disorderly place, but this is abnormal. I have often done patrolling as a State Knight but, unless it was a festival or something, a crowd of this size is just……Nn? What could that be?」

She pointed at something.

A dark red object could be seen at the end of the main street.

It was a size that filled up the width of the street, and thorns were growing out of it.

Shera half-rose to her feet.

「It’s a Dragon!」

「What was that!?」

「You damned moronnnn!!」

With a *Gatsun!*, a large fist dropped on the top of Allen’s head. A sound as if he was struck with an iron club was made.

「That hurtssss～!?」

Allen hurriedly turned around, and showed a bewildered expression.

「Wh, what the heck are ya doin’!? What’ll ya do if I turn stupid?」

「You’re already infinitely stupid! Tell me, what kind of Hero picks a fight with a spectator in the middle of the triumphal return parade!?」

「……Well, this guy, he seemed a bit strong, ya see.」

He pointed his finger.
