882 To the dead.

"Thank you very much, Ernie."

"No, we appreciate it. Thanks to Astoria, the runaway eyes of Louise were held back, and without Karner's story in the first place, I don't think we met Isis properly."

Before I went to see Reiki. We headed for Moss Square. [M] So I decided to report a series of disturbances to Sligster Old. After that, I was lucky to have Karner back, so I also reported Isis and Nerailasha well.

Then, Karna-sama, who listened to us, lowered her head with a bit of shyness.

"Actually, I've found Isis before you, Ernie. But I was asking how to make contact."

"I was surprisingly close, not somewhere in the world."

Let's find it. Then I'll explore from nearby. And Isis and the others were lucky enough to be in the nearby mountainous area.

However, Isis was hiding behind the deep clouds created by the dragon Nerailasha, and it was difficult to make contact.

"Nevertheless, if it were Karner, I would have been able to convince Nerellasha well before we had a fight, right?

After all, Karner and Astoria are "the same race with the same name" as those who are passed down as legends between the Dragons and the Dragons.

When I said that, Karner and Astoria laughed funny. [M]

"Now, let's keep quiet until Isis returns."

"Coming. Let's welcome Nerellasha, Master Karner."

"Yes, of course."

"Ha! Then we'll have to find another Guardian of Paradise!?

"Are you going to take the screening exam with the people of Paradise?

"Nimia, if you do that, you'll be in big trouble!

After receiving our report, Old Sligsta nodded satisfactorily.

"... it was an adventure."

Wow, that was fun. You've been busy.

"Fufufun. I knew I'd be able to do that, even if he wasn't here."

"Oz, now let's go on an adventure with me and Mr. Asher.

Pyah

When we finished our report at Moss Square, we returned to the no-go zone. And so, at the root of Spirit Tree, we were showcasing the intense adventure of the past few days.

While we were gone, Oz, who was playing with the Spirit Tree as a Guardian, ran away as soon as he named Asher.

Apparently, I've been planted with a pretty bad consciousness.

Poor thing.

Incidentally, when Karner and Astoria heard our report, they returned to your son.

When will your next journey be?

So? When's the next big fuss?

Almost there.

Nyan

"No, I'm not making any fuss."

I put Ares on my lap and Nimia on my head with my back on the thick root of Reiki, and I want to rest in peace. That's why I'm sorry for the disturbance.

First of all, there can be no disturbance under such a quiet cloud of injunctions.

"Ernie, this is a case! The Beast is causing a disturbance in the north."

"I got caught in a commotion in an instant!

When I saw my peace, it was Sephina who rushed to the root of Spirit Tree at an incredible speed.

Holy shit. This is where Ares and Spiritual Tree were supposed to eat while meditating.

Besides, I didn't cause a disturbance, but I got caught up in Sephina.

You've been running all the way to the summit of Mt. Reizan, Sephina, who seems to be breathlessly distressed. But for some reason, he looks happy.

You must definitely think, "Look, there's been a disturbance."

"How dare you? I swore to my heart that I wouldn't put my foot in a disturbance."

"Oh, I'm sorry. But this is Yuri's grandmother's request. Would you say no to that?

"Kh, I can't refuse that."

Grandma Yuri, who lives in the Woods of the Dragon King, is taking care of everything.

"So, what exactly is it?

Even while I'm listening to Sephina, I have to feed her. So, I don't sit back and listen back. [M]

Sephina drinks water and wets her throat, pointing to the north side of the forbidden territory in the usual cool manner.

"Everything, in the woods near the lake on the north side, I've seen the shadow of a beast I've never seen before."

"Grandma Yuri?

"No, Priscia's father."

Hmm?

"But even Priscia's father couldn't catch up with her just for a moment."

"Huh?

Apart from Grandma Yuri, Priscia's parents and Carly moved to the Forbidden Dragon King Forest.

Speaking of Priscia's father, he was originally the captain of the guard, who brought together the warriors of the ear long clan who lived in the dragon forest. No matter how unfamiliar a forest such a person was, I didn't expect him to chase the Beast.

"But you don't know if that beast is dangerous, do you?

"If that's what Priscia's father said...."

There are still many places in the embargo that we don't know or have yet arrived.

Naturally deep confinement, which has been out of reach for more than a thousand years, exists vertically, facing the northern western edge of Dragon Peak. The northern end of it hits the sea, doesn't it?

There are many other lakes and springs dotted with thousands of lakes, as well as forests, wetlands and grasslands.

So Priscia's father went to various parts of the enclave to check things out when he was free.

It seems that Priscia's father, who has returned from the demonic king's crusade, has gone north to explore.

... but not because I wanted to be alone in a fight with Priscia's mother.

Whatever it was, Priscia's father turned to the north side of the blockade. And he saw it.

"The beasts in the woods were brutally killed or the trees were slaughtered."

"Mm-hmm. Maybe we shouldn't let that go?

We cut down trees if we have to, and we hunt beasts to live. However, it is strictly forbidden to engage in wasteful killing or destruction of nature.

Especially if it is an ear long tribe that cherishes the forest and the inhabitants thereof.

"Priscia's father tried to find the killer."

"So you found the Shadow of the Beast?

"Yeah, that's right. But it seemed too fast, too cunning, and out of control."

When I whispered that it seemed tough, Sephina smiled incredibly.

Yes, I just have a hunch that it's going to be noisy.

"Fufufu, that's funny. Crusade after a beast that could not be pursued by even the mighty warriors of the ear long clan. My arms are ringing."

"I've been thinking lately. You're a fighter, aren't you, Sephina?

"Oh, no. Yufi-sama and Nina's sister."

"Why does it feel so good!?

Thus, we decided to work without any time off even though we had just returned to the embargo. [M]

"Ha, now I'm destined to be liked by Mistral and Sephina!?

You're a pervert

"Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho."

I'm glad to hear it.

The Spirit Tree shakes the lush leaves and drops us off.

Well then, Ernie. Shall we compete? Who will arrive first? "

"No, no, Sephina. If you do that, it'll take days!?

Don't underestimate the embargo.

The idea of "territory" directly controlled by the rulers of the demons is sweet.

Anyway, along the northern part of Dragon Peak, the land leads to the sea.

To be perfectly clear, I think the land is bigger than the Armand Kingdom, right?

The north side of that vast land is actually a very far place.

Even Priscia's father must have been out for days and back for days. And yet, if we were to compete in one piece, we would have kept everyone in the Kingdom of Joltenitos waiting for a long time.

"Besides, I don't know the exact place, do I?

The northern part of the embargo.... in which forest, far and wide, did the incident occur? That's something only Sephina, who should have heard more about.

In response to my objection, Sephina unfortunately shrugged her shoulders.

"I've been trying to monopolize you for days by telling you what you're good at. The stuffing was sweet."

"This guy has an exclusive appetite like Lyla!

Regardless, the proposal to go to the local area while competing is rejected.

So please ask Nimia as usual.

Mist, why don't you take your sister with you?

"No, Nimia-chan. I'll give you a snack later, so keep this a secret.

Nyan

"Sephina. I don't know what happens when you come back.

I ride on Nimia's grown back with a bitter smile. [M]

Then, as a matter of course, Oz jumped in.

"Oz?"

"No. It's a no-go incident. What would you do without him?"

"If you're in danger, you have to protect yourself.

What?

I wonder if the former defense captain of the ear long clan would be the opponent. I'm sure it's terribly strong. "

Hih

"Are you okay? Look, Oz is a legendary beast."

"That's right. Is Oz okay?"

Pfft

We laughed at Oz, who started to moisturize his eyes by squeaking his crotch between his two tails.

"Sorry, sorry. I'll protect you, and I'll take you with me.

Occasionally, I have to give Oz an adventure.

Nimia soars up in the sky with us on board.

While being escorted by the spiritual tree that shakes the leaves big at the summit of the spiritual mountain, we went north of the forbidden territory.

But we didn't know yet.

Destiny to confront unexpected powerful enemies.

And it hurts.

I wonder why we didn't consult Teru-chan, the protector of the embargo.

Why did Teru-chan overlook those who roughed up the embargo?

"Guru. Fools. I can't believe you're trying to stand up to me without me. It will destroy you and make this land mine."

"Kh! Ernah-kun, back off. I'm gonna stop this."

"No! We can't just leave Mr. Cefina here!

"No, what did you do so long? We should have left here."

"Oz, that's not enough!

Behind the forest that stretches north of the Forbidden Territories.

On the side of the piled beast corpse, we were stuck in a corner.

Before us, monsters who looked like they'd never seen before lowered themselves and showed signs of coming forward.

A grey monster with horns on its head, covered in thick, sturdy epidermis that seems comparable to the scale of the Dragon clan. The monster stood with two legs, shook up a heavy battle that seemed to be three times his weight, and smiled spookily.
