Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

- I had such a nightmare that I was swallowed by a darker starch.

Wake up slowly, exhaling rough breaths.

I wiped the sweat dripping from my forehead and dropped my gaze on both hands.

The black starch that was wrapped around my body in a nightmare is naturally disappearing.

It was a dream that I could only describe as a nightmare, one that I perceived was not about reality but could not escape.

If you look at the sky from the gaps in the branches, it's still before the dim dawn.

Based on the white condition of the sky, did you sleep for about two hours?

You haven't slept properly since you left the Patriarchate.

Fortunately, I don't feel drowsy.

You won't have to sleep for a while, but you'll be able to act fine.

There will be limits to that, too.

"... I don't know when I've dreamed of it"

I haven't had a dream in a while.

Waking up at night was also less.

After that day of betrayal, I've slept decently enough to count.

I can't sleep at night and wake up with trivial noises even when I sleep.

If that's all right with you, even if you can sleep well, I decided to dream of the past.

They do, and they jump up with their own screams.

That was every day.

But one day I was able to cross the border and get some sleep.

That would be because there was an elphi like no other.

"... not at all"

I laugh.

Even though they betrayed me and told me no one was going to believe me.

I can't believe the person I believe from the bottom of my heart is my former enemy, the former Demon King.

"... I'll never tell him."

When did your presence get so big, my God?

◆

After spending the night in the woods, we left early in the morning.

After a while, I came to a hill with a great view.

Here, Berdia will be able to fly fine.

Unsurprisingly, the time the dragon species can continue to fly is not that long.

There are individual differences, but usually if you fly for five hours, you seem so tired that you can't move properly.

Beldia is no exception.

By the time he came to the Patriarchate, Beldia seemed rather unscrupulous.

She had been drained considerably because she had flown over the limit time.

I've only walked to this forest to restore Beldia's health.

I'm afraid you've been walking all this distance, but you're rather recovering.

"How's your body?

"... just. I'm well rested, so I can fly my cum."

Looking at you glueing your arms around without a look on your face, you seem to be doing well.

The destination is far away. It's too far to walk.

I also thought about using mindset magic and running at full speed to get there, but flying is more efficient.

"... you can always fly"

"Right."

It looks like Beldia is already ready.

But at some point, I don't see Idler.

I should have been right there until just now, but I was disappearing into a gap that kept my eyes off me.

"Where did Idler go?

"... he said he was going to wash up in the river because he fell and got muddy"

What are you doing? He is.

"... in the meantime, I'll make sure I can fly"

"Oh, please. Solve the humanization?

"... yes"

Berdia nodded cocklessly and began to take off her clothes on the spot.

Drop your underwear and expose your complexion as you should.

"... why take off your clothes"

…… If you keep it on, you can break it. "

With arms together and a chest-accentuating posture, Beldia leans her neck strangely.

"When you take off your clothes, say a word before you do.... no shame or anything?

…… I'm not ashamed because I'm human. "

You don't seem to feel any shame about showing nudity.

You too.

I remember hearing a similar conversation before.

"... that's good enough. Be a dragon quickly."

…… Disarm "

With an uninterrupted expression, Beldia dehumanized.

I wonder if my body was wrapped in a black flame, and instantly that body is no longer a person's thing.

Making a sound of vacillation, the pitch-black scales cover Beldia's body.

At the same time his height grew enormously and he became enormous to nearly five metres.

From the tip of the long hand and foot covered in scales, claws with obsidian shine are stretched.

Two wings protrude from his back, and every time he moves, the wind blows through the hills.

A rare species of Flaming Dragon (Flame Dragon), dealt with by many in the Purgatory Labyrinth.

Is this the Black Flame Dragon?

It is smaller than the Earthly Demon General's Balguild, but the intimidation far outweighs the Flaming Dragon.

"Can you still talk in that state?

"... I can talk"

Do you even use magic, Beldia's voice sounds.

You don't seem to have a problem communicating with the will.

…………

Reddish black eyes look down at me.

Somewhere strange, Beldia stares at me.

"What's wrong?

"... nothing"

Shaking her head, Beldia lowered her posture softly.

'... get in'

"Okay."

Jump and jump on Berdia's back.

The scales covering your skin are not sharper than you might have imagined.

It's a wrinkle, but it doesn't seem like it's going to crumble on it.

……

Near the center of the back, it appears slightly concave.

Just, like, one person is gonna be able to sit down.

Only that place feels a little different how scales grow.

Reach out and stroke the place.

'...... eh'

Bikun, and Beldia trembled.

endure sudden tremors that come, not to be shaken off.

"What's wrong?

'... hey, nothing'

Beldia's voice, answering so, sounded like it was rubbing up somewhere.

Tilting his neck to that reaction,

"Hey! Sorry to keep you waiting! She's cute.

Idler, who was going to wash the dirt into the river, returned.

Waving with the boom, he hangs over here in a good mood.

Are you finally here? Now we can leave.

I sat back on an earlier dent so that I could fly whenever I wanted.

At that moment,

"... hiccup"

Beldia trembled loudly as she raised her weird voice.

On the clap, a pitch-black flame erupted vigorously from his mouth.

A black flame strikes the idler that was running from the front.

"Uh-huh!?"

Shouting, Idler shouts blackflame at the critical spot.

It was the direct hit that escaped, but the black flame burned in my clothes and hair, spreading with melamera.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?"

With it on fire, Idler runs around there.

"" Water Polo (Aquaball) ""

I won't leave it on the boulder, I'll hang the water from the top.

Getting wet, Idler finally stops moving.

"Ugh... Ugh..."

In tears, Idler slowly twists up Beldia's body.

Then, after a while, when I shook my body with blurb,

"What the hell!? Are you going to burn me!? Have this honorable me!?"

'... no'

"Dangerously, I could almost cook poor Eye round!? Eye is a big pinch!?"

"... sorry"

Beldia apologizes with a rough breath to the crying idler.

Every time I move my body, Beldia leaks a small exhalation.

"... Beldia. Could it be my fault?

Stand up slowly to avoid irritation and point to a dent in your back.

Beldia nodded slowly.

"... sorry. Idler, that looks like it's my fault."

"Ugh, fine. Fine, but come on......!

After a while, Berdia opened her mouth, seemingly calm.

'Mm...... The first time I saw your husband, he beat me up here.'

Is this dent something Elfi beat up?

Speaking of which, the first time I saw you, you said you had defeated Berdia, who was in a riot.

"... Since then, this place has been sensitive"

"Oh, really? Bye, yeah!

When I heard that, Idler poked his dent through his head.

…………

But Beldia doesn't respond.

"Is that it?"

"... I don't feel anything when I'm touched by you"

"Why!? When Io touches you?

…………

When the idler prompted me to touch it,

"...... mmm"

Beldia leaks her exhale.

Idler pokes again, but Beldia is a no-reaction.

"... why?

'... I don't know. When your husband touches you, you're freaking out because you're a zowa... When it's someone else, I don't think anything.... but when Io touched me, I freaked out'

"Huh? I'm bored! Yes, yes, yes!

With an unsatisfactory look, Idler pokes his dent over and over again.

"... Hey, Idler. Keep it that way."

"Yes! Yes! See, this is good, right?!?"

Idler on track keeps poking for awhile ignoring my words.

It's from the burden of spitting flames, or Berdia, who has been silent for a while, but the limit seems to have arrived.

'... Ugh. Iori, get caught. "

"... ha"

At the next moment, Beldia jumped up and jumped out at a fierce speed.

"Uh-huh!?"

Idler's body, not firmly seated, floats and is blown backwards.

At the critical point, it looks like he managed to get caught in the tail.

Looks like he's eating wind pressure all the time.

"Ababa!? Hey, hey!? I think I'm going to be shaken off. Whoa, whoa!?"

…………

"angry ⁉maybe angry!? beldia!? beldia aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?"

We flew in the sky and headed ahead, pinching such trouble.

◆

The landscape passes instantly.

The altitude is high and the wind blowing through is cold.

The almost frozen idler has tied the line and now it's comfortable.

I've never ridden a dragon breed before, but it's not uncomfortable.

Beldia advised me to sit in the recess of my back, but I refused because I didn't like anything.

It must have been my fault that I looked sorry somewhere.

"Ugh..."

You were drunk when you were caught in the tail, and Idler's complexion is bad.

I try to heal but in about five minutes I went back to my original complexion.

Simply, it seems to be a drunken physique.

"... Phew. If we keep going well, we'll be at our destination tomorrow, I guess. I just hope there's no other Four Heavenly Kings but Gracia."

No matter how many people, it's the same thing.

Kick them all out and rescue Elfi.

With Lucifina, I'll kill you with a tragic vengeance.

"... there, it's the same no matter how many people there are - or something, you think?

With that in mind, Idler came up with a frightened look and pointed at me.

"Look, Iori. You are very strong indeed. But overconfidence is not good."

"... I'm not going to be alarmed"

"There are four heavenly kings in the Demon King's Army today who can't seem to be conscious. The other three are pretty good, too."

As I say, Idler tells me Concon.

"Assuming you're going to kill Orteguia... as long as she's around, you'll be stopped on your way alone"

"... her?

"One of the Four Heavenly Kings has" rain ". You're a pain in the ass."

With an abominable expression, Idler uttered the name.

"Well, what's" rain "? Though the Thunder Demon General used to say those words."

I remember Elfi reacting as well.

In the end, you're upset to hear what it is.

"-" Gregorian the Rain. "The descendants of the four demons who followed the First Demon King," Dead Heaven. "

"Dead day?

"About the four people who were the basis of the Four Heavenly Kings. Each of the first demon kings was obeyed by a demon clan with the titles Rain, Thunder, Yang and Yin."

This is the first information I've heard.

Heaven of Death. Sure, we all have titles related to heaven.

"Most of Dead Heaven doesn't seem to have died in the battle between Fallen Light and Holy Light God... only" Rain "continues to take its place and still exists"

"That's Gregoria the Rain."

"Yes, yes. Gregoria has the ability to inherit the magic that the past" rain "has knitted with each replacement. Every generation of Gregoria is as strong as the first."

The four "Dead Heavens" seemed to have incomparable powers, such as the demonic tribe in line.

"Rain" doesn't leak into that example either and seems to have enough power to reach the Demon King.

"... if there was such a thing, it would certainly be troublesome"

"Seems like he's protecting Demon King's Castle instead of Orteguia, so unless there's a rarity, I don't think he'll ever show up on the table."

But that's odd.

If there was such a demon clan, it wouldn't be weird to fight thirty years ago.

I don't remember fighting the Demons because I thought it was Gregoria of the Rain.

"Thirty years ago... I didn't hear there was such a demon clan when Amazu and the Demon King's Army fought. Thirty years ago, what was Rain doing?

"Hmm. I don't know about the" rain "right now."

With his hands on his chin, Idler meditates his eyes as he recalls.

"... it is true that the" rain "of the previous generations died before Orteguia became the Demon King"

"Before Orteguia became the Demon King...? That is,"

"Yeah. He must have been one of Elphiszark's men. I was caught up in a faction fight...... I wonder if it was. I don't really remember it because it was before."

…………

Substitution means that "rain" now would be a relative of previous generations.

An official of a dead man had become the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King Army...

So I guess Elfi reacted there.

I don't know what he was thinking.

"... Gregoria was a nasty guy"

Berdia, who was dedicated to flying, opened her mouth.

"Right. Beldia knows the rain of her predecessors."

'... he had a bad mouth, and he was mean. I used to complain to your husband. "

"I don't even know your personality... but you certainly didn't ask for a good reputation"

Beldia didn't seem to think well of the rain of her predecessors.

You mean Elphi's men weren't a single rock?

'But... I was attacked and killed by demons who didn't often think of your husband. Your husband was so depressed, I remember...'

"... Killed? Was there someone powerful enough to kill" rain "?

The only thing I can think of is Ortegia.

'... yeah. You killed Gregoria--'

It was when Beldia tried to answer something.

"Oops......!

Me and Idler noticed that the junction was unfolding trying to block the way forward.

The junction is stretched straight from the ground to far above.

It seems impossible to jump over and move on.

Beldia, step down to the ground.

'... ok'

Slowly slowing down, Beldia slowly lowers altitude.

The place we came down to was an unpopular place surrounded by cliffs and woods.

The road is only at the end of the junction and behind it, and then there are only the cliffs and the woods.

'... why is there a bond here... To stop us...?

"No, that's not it. I'm supposed to have died in the kingdom of the devil."

"I don't think you found out about my disguise, and I think it's a tie that has nothing to do with us."

Still far from the destination.

I don't see any reason to tie the line halfway through this.

Put your hands on the junction and explore what kind.

From what I've seen, it looks like a junction dedicated solely to sealing traffic...

――――

Examine the junction and unwittingly solidify it.

…… What's wrong with you?

…………

Idler leaning his neck against my reaction and silencing himself with a smile.

"... no. The man who created this bond has a heart."

But... what do you mean?

This magic...

"Heh... Who the hell are you talking about?

Answer Idler's question.

"- Lucifina Emilior"

◆

- Vision is covered in darkness.

The whole body is sealed and restrained, unable to even take physical movement.

Naturally, the Devil's Eye was also sealed.

Removing the blindfold will probably not achieve the activation of the demonic eye.

――――

I know so much about this magic wrapped around my body that I don't like it.

Labyrinth seals and homogeneous magic - perhaps this is that half-elf thing.

I have palpitations.

In the darkness that covers my vision, my breathing gets rough.

When I get distracted, I want to call that man by his name.

――――

How long has it been since then?

I don't have a sense of time because I'm covered in darkness.

There is nothing we can do without breaking this seal so that we can escape.

It was when I was thinking of a way out and distracting the fear of darkness.

――

Gi and I heard the door open.

Next, the tricks and footsteps approach this way.

Someone came to my room.

Can't you use the person who came and remove the seal somehow?

"Excuse me."

Along with polite words, the blindfold is slowly removed.

Turn your gaze to the person in front of you as you narrow your eyes to the glare of light you plug in -.

"... you, ha-"

Unexpectedly, I lost my word.

A woman with long, undisturbed dark green hair with sharp eyes to slash.

The military uniform that surrounds you is beautifully prepared, with no wrinkles or dust.

From the side head are two twisted horns stretched like goats, announcing that the woman is a demon.

"... Gracia. Again, you."

Standing there was a former subordinate.

It was Gracia Leviataine.

"Yes."

Gracia nodded respectfully,

"- Long time no see. My King, Dear Elphiszark."

In an intoxicating voice, I said so.
