158 Fighting maidens

When we get back to the village of the Ear Elders, me and Mistral say goodbye to Mr. Curly and hurry to Grandma's house. And also, someone with you will guide you to the back of the house.

Grandma sat down and welcomed us just like she did when she visited before the baboons were exorcised.

When me and Mistral apologized for this one-sided request and the disrespect of coming and going out early, Grandma smiled full of charity and, conversely, twisted us.

"Thank you for your cooperation. And you're young, so don't live in such a hurry. You have to enjoy your life."

When Grandma tells me she's been alive for over a thousand and two hundred years, I just have to convince her.

Me and Mistral take a breather as we moisten our throats with the tea served.

I don't mean to be in a rush to live, but if Grandma sees it, I wonder if Mistral and I look busy.

I also really like to watch the clouds while relaxing in the sun. There's been too much going on here lately, and maybe my busyness was leaking out of action.

I talked to Mistral over a cup of tea and decided to take a short break before heading back to Moss Square.

"I wonder if Priscia hasn't bothered you"

"Yeah, that's not true. We're always healed by Priscia's brightness."

"I'm sorry. I'm left behind"

"Hehe. Apologizing is this one, isn't it? Thanks for keeping up with that kid's selfishness."

Priscia was initially supposed to just stay a few days in the village of Mistral, wasn't she? That's what Mistral promised me.

But the truth is, how much fun it is to be with us, when you don't really try to get back to the village and you try to force me to take you home, you get grumpy.

I'm sure when you're by my side, it's because Ares is there who looks the same and constantly plays with me.

That's why we talked to Priscia's mother and Grandma Yuri and decided when to keep it.

Before I arrived in the village of Mistral, Priscia and Mistral and Luiseine were making bets, and Priscia won, so that's no reason. Besides, it's not my fault that Luiseine and Mistral bet on the contents that I arrived safely in the village or that I couldn't, and that Priscia made a sudden prediction that she was flying out of the sky, and that actually happened.

When I reached the village, Mistral told me that it was your fault. I don't know because Mistral made a cheap contract that if Priscia's flighty predictions were in the middle, she could stay as long as she wanted.

See, I knew it wasn't my fault.

"Is there something on my face? Mr. Elnea?"

"Ugh, it's nothing."

Don't be afraid, Mistral. Can you read my mind? [M]

"You're so expressive, you'll be right in your face with what you think."

"Haha, you mean that"

It was me who was digging the grave.

"Looking at that kid's mess, he doesn't seem to be looking at himself when he's young. You can't even scold me."

Grandma smiling, saying. I'm sure Grandma will never seem angry, no matter what Priscia does.

"Did Grandma do all sorts of things when she was younger, too?

"You're full. I've circled the world with witches. I was so selfish and annoying to witches."

"Witch?"

Noisy words have appeared that do not correspond to the content of the conversation.

Looking back at Mistral, she also seemed to know someone, tilting her neck and looking at me.

"Hehe, maybe you'll meet the witch someday."

"Is that person a demon?

If you're a demon woman, I guess you're a demon.

"No, you don't. I'm supposed to be human, just like you."

"Should?"

"That's what I'm telling you. I don't know the truth, either."

"But both the Ear Elders and the Dragon Nation know their species just by looking at them, right?"

"Right. A normal opponent."

I wonder if that's normal. Well, it's not normal for your grandmother to travel with you when you were young hundreds of years ago and see us now, is it? Because the average life expectancy of a human race is, like, fifty years.

Grandma didn't tell me the details when she said that it would be fun to see her. But he just told me that if we worked hard for Dragon Peak, for the forest, for the people, for the world, we would be visitors one day.

I wonder if he's someone involved in the world. With the remainder of my heart at last and the expectation of what kind of person I am, Mistral and I then followed the village of the Ear Long Clan.

And before evening, we'll safely return to Moss Square.

"It's too late!

"Mr. Mist, it's been a long time."

Early on back, Mistral gets stuffed by Luiseine and Lyla. It's unusual to see a mistral trying to make fun of you.

"Mnh-mnh-mnh, do you have a souvenir?

"I want Nha too."

"No, no, I just went to Priscia's village. I don't have any souvenirs. If you go home tonight, we'll have a delicious meal waiting."

"No, no. I want some sweets."

"I'm hungry."

"You brought a lot of snacks from the village of Mistral."

"I already ate."

"I ate with my grandfather, so it's gone."

"Grandpa, you're eating too much"

"Ha, ha, I can't help it. I'm this giant. That's not enough."

Old Sleighsta laughs with her eyes narrowed, welcoming us back, lying down as usual in our usual place.

That's sweet. There's no way Old Sleighsta eats until she runs out of snacks, is there? Old Sleighsta, who was used to make excuses for Priscia and Niemia but watches over us without distraction, is great after all.

"Has the Warcraft been successfully crusaded?"

And wait for the Mistrals' offense and our exchange to calm down, and Old Sleighsta will hear.

I'll explain what happened on the way out to Louiseine and Lyla. Including future challenges.

"Hmm. Should you move on to the next stage?"

"Next stage?

"Dear Left, Thy dragon sword dance is yet unfinished. I just got to be able to dance the shape well."

You're absolutely right. I was reminded that dragon sword dance is completely useless to opponents who can dance as per the model but can't fit into the mould like this one.

"Techniques like choosing an opponent could be the depths of those who have excelled in dragon qi, dragon and sword. You need to move on. It is only before combined with dragon art that the dragon sword dance is what it is."

Even now, I have not used dragon sword dance and dragon art separately. Physical ability increased, but space jumped. In combination, I have fought as hard as I could.

But I hear this isn't the real deal yet.

"Keep up the good work"

As I bowed my head, Old Sleighsta narrowed her eyes satisfactorily and nodded.

"The next training is fine, but we need to heal the battle fatigue first. Take a good rest and get tired, too, warrior."

"Yeah, you are."

"If you get it, fine. Shall we go home as soon as possible?"

"Hey, hey, Mr. Mist!

"That's cowardly, Mistral."

The battle of the woman who was so calm is resumed.

"I still have time. What are you going to do when you get home so soon?"

"That's right. I still want to be on Elnea's side."

Louiseine takes my left hand, and Lyla buries her right hand in your chest.

"Hey, Lila, what are you doing?"

"Wow, this is force majeure."

Mistral points me out, turns my face bright red, and Lila rushes off my right hand.

"Mr. Lyla, please don't tempt you, Elnea."

"It's a misunderstanding. I pulled my hand and it just hit my chest."

"Is that a challenge to us?"

"Wow, Master Mistral, please calm down. I have such feelings…"

"Louiseine, too, get your hands off me. Elnea's in trouble."

"Oh, well, Elnea, you're delighted. Look, my chest is playing so much."

Say it, Louiseine, put your hand on my chest.

No. I'm just nervous about being snuggled up with Lyla and Louiseine and the killing of Mistral.

"Elnea, I wonder if you'd be happy when you were arming yourself with me."

"Hmm!?

"Mr. Ernea, what do you mean? Didn't you just come to exorcise the baboons towards the village of the Ear Long Clan!?

"Ah, it's a pleasure to meet you. Sneaky, cowardly!

I got into some sort of argument, and then at some point, I'm going to be preached to the women, treating them equally, acting more aggressively.

How did this happen!

It's just fine.

I escape through the siege of the women. [M]

"Hilarious?"

"No, no."

Priscia makes her face shine when she sees me running and the Mistrals chasing me.

But it's a mess, so there won't be.

Usually everyone runs away, and the ghost is alone. Yet I'm the only one on the run, and Mistral, Louiseine and Lyla are coming after me. I've never heard of ghosts being more overwhelming!

But you don't hear my heart scream. Priscia joins the fight with joy.

"Nyan seems interesting, so I'll join you."

"No, no, you don't have to join me."

You Neemia. You would have heard my heart scream. And yet, what do you mean, you're coming into the war?

"Neemia, if you help me, I'll give you a snack next time!

While running around, pull Niemia into your side.

"Nha!?

It's a good reaction. Fished by sweets, Niemia gets huge. If you get on Niemia's back and run into the sky, the Mistrals won't be able to follow you either. I am sure of the victory and run under Niemia.

Avoid the imminent arrival of a mistral at a terrible speed by using a spatial leap. Louiseine flies the curse spell, and Lila tries to get ahead of me using the dragon technique of rising physical abilities.

Neemia is just around the corner. If I escape this pursuit, I will be free in the sun.

"Niemia!"

That's when Mistral screamed behind me.

"It is I who make snacks. You know what I'm talking about?

"Holy shit!!

One more step. If we make another spatial jump, we can ride Niemia's back and plunge her into a glowing future. It was the tremendous hands of the traitor Niemia that crushed my future full of hope.

Niemia's hand waves down at me, and Niemia catches me.

"Around, Neemia, the traitor!

In Niemia's palm, I cried sadly. [M] For every massive Niemia you've massed, you can't make a spatial leap. And now Niemia is far bigger and more powerful than a tyrant. I was totally caught.

"I'm sorry. You can't beat the sweet temptation."

"Ugh. It's terrible."

In Niemia's palm, I can hang out.

"Well done, Niemia"

Mistral smiles and approaches. I'm usually supposed to fall in love, but it was just a symbol of fear to me right now.
