1132 Black Witch, White Witch, Part 3 ~ Mountain of Fire ③ ~

"You should do it. On my way so far, I saw little creatures that looked like creatures. Maybe it's a land without too many creatures."

"Right. I do feel like I brought in quite a bit of food, even when I'm here. There were many Trents and amorphous creatures at the foot of the mountain, and no one could feed them. If you go above the middle belly, there are fire lizards and chickens, but some of the fire lizards here are big and dragon-like. Hunting alone is dangerous. Besides, it doesn't taste very good."

"Besides, there's another thing that bothers me. Having a highly intelligent Trent like that earlier means that there are those who manage it. Perhaps there will be an intelligent dragon. Because it would be nice to have someone you can discuss, but not necessarily. You'd be smarter to just walk out of here before you get into their living quarters."

"Is it a dragon? If you're an intelligent dragon, you're more likely to cooperate."

Alphilis shook his head at Lisa's opinion.

"I can't. We are accustomed to Gwendorf, Maia, and Lakia, but the Dragon Nation, not just the True Dragon, is very difficult and incompatible with other species. Unless you have something to bridge with them, but even if it's recognized by True Dragon, it's not necessarily recognized by any other dragon. I hear it's relatively quiet around water dragons, wind dragons, but ice dragons, fog dragons are indifferent to other species, and fire dragons, ground dragons are rather belligerent. A species that has been hostile to humans as demon kings to bronze dragons and snake dragons. You shouldn't expect that."

"I'm in this land because it's a mountain of fire, after all, a fire dragon?

"What do you think? I was advised not to go into the back of the mountain, even during my studies here. Apparently, the witches have refused to be involved. Even if you're a dragon, you shouldn't think you can discuss it. There are other mountains that blow fire, but they can be bronze dragons in some places. Not necessarily a fire dragon."

"... Either way, you need to watch this evening. Me and Lunatica will take turns. Everybody should sleep."

"Aren't you tired, Layer"

It was Lisa's compassion, but Layer shook her head.

"You don't have to sleep much originally. Besides, there was a lot going on in the North Seal, so I caught my eye. 'Cause I want to think a little bit."

"Really? Don't just force it."

"Yeah."

Responding neatly, the layer was up on the rock shelf. The movement seemed like a wild beast, and together we were impressed with his transformation once again.

"... I didn't know that boy was such a user. It's like a different way to walk from what you're wearing. People aren't what they seem."

"I heard somewhat from Renatica, but you're different from when you're in the mercenary corps. Did he also teach you how to act?

"No, originally. Layers are afraid of their power. He believes that by acting like himself, he cannot live in the human world. So hide your powers and lie around you. I guess that's his way of life."

"I miss you"

"Not really. He doesn't have much to want in life. If Elsia and Gail are well, that seems fine. I don't want much, so I don't need to be filled. Seems a little different these days."

"... a little change of vibe."

Alphilis lay down and snapped as he closed his eyes. It seems to be a while before I fall asleep.

"Something happened at North Seal. He could have had some goals, too."

"Goals? What happened?

"I don't know. It was just that the new hipster sword was unusual. Perhaps you crossed the dead line a few times. The atmosphere was a soldier in front of us. I was worried when I made him one of us about what would happen, but I'm glad he didn't go in some crazy direction."

"Did you care from the start?

"Somehow. If you make a mistake, it could have been a threat to us."

"You think he's dangerous? Because you're hiding your nature?

"In many ways. He won't be the only one who's just hiding his nature. That's more or less, so are we - although there are other people who are very mysterious."

Alphilis remained eyes closed unchanged, but I felt that consciousness was right for me, and Seite was in a great hurry inside. Without anyone understanding, Seite's heart was bouncing one big, and healing.

And because of a breath, everyone who rings with him was starting a topic that was hard to talk about.

"- Guys, what are you doing? Is it safe?

"I don't know. But we were safe, too, and maybe a lot of people are safe. I just need to get back to the mercenary regiment as soon as possible. Everyone will be worried."

"Right. And we need to report the situation to Miriazal as soon as possible. The system of big black magicians is also going to change. Anomaly will fall and perhaps Titania will also disobey. What the hell is going to happen?"

"You get tired of thinking too much, Lisa. Let's go to bed now, because we don't know what's gonna happen either."

"... right"

Each of them was starting to get ready to sleep, as Alphilis urged them to. Those who are not yet likely to sleep are relaxing their bodies a little away from the rock shelves or asking what is going on outside. The most restless of these was Wictrier, but often after watching Alphilis' sleeping expression, she also fell asleep again. I thought it was selfish to talk about my mother now. Everyone will be showing themselves to fellow mercenaries. I couldn't just talk about my flesh parents.

As the Alphilis and the others began to rest in peace, it was Seite and Nia who were awake until the end. The beast man does not originally need so much sleep. It is normal to get a short sleep several times. So often they sleep in small pauses during marches, etc. On the contrary, he slept late and woke up faster than a human because he didn't have to take it all together at night. Without Layer's offer, it would have been their turn at night.

Nia just stared at Seite, who was supposed to follow him on this occasion.
