A kind soldier told us about a luxurious hotel.

　In the restaurant of the hotel, we were having dinner.

This is a nice hotel. The food is great and the place is clean. That old soldier introduced me to a nice place.

"Well, they took care of all the formalities. We didn't have to go through any procedures. --En, you're dripping juice.

......?

Here, turn around. I'll wipe you down.

　I'm not sure where it's hanging, but En looks down at her clothes and grabs a handful of wipes, with a look of relief on her face.

　You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

　--Well, I know it wasn't just out of kindness that you did this for me.

　You will find a lot of people from the hotel side who seem to be military personnel, and this is a hotel that originally had a close relationship with the military of this country.

　I'm sure that the military man who spoke to us, who seemed to be in a high position, knew who Leffi was because he had analysis skills, and since it was known that a person like a nuclear warhead had entered the country, he may want to know what we are doing so that he can respond to any situation that may arise.

　Oh, it was very interesting to see how the people who were watching us froze in their tracks when we suddenly took En out of the item box and personified her.

　The item box used to be disliked by En, but she's gotten used to it, and now she doesn't give us any more lonely reminders.
　However, there is no doubt that it is boring to leave it in there, so I let it out like this when I'm taking a lunch break or staying the night.

　According to En, the inside of the item box is a place like a "nightbed".
　The "night" part used to scare her a bit, but after she became able to feel the "futon" part of the item box, she feels more comfortable and doesn't mind it anymore.

　He said that he could feel my magic inside the item box better or something.

　To be honest, I didn't really understand ...... but I was incredibly relieved to find out that I wasn't forcing her to do something she didn't like at all.

　It's a good thing that you can always carry it by hand, but a long journey with a very heavy body of en is a bit of a pain in the ass.
　I need to grow up more.

But it's been a long time since we've spent a night out together.

Indeed. After all, I used to stay in your dungeon a lot.

　When I'm away, I often go out with them ...... or maybe Nell, who has a job outside.
　I'm not sure how many times I've gone out with Reffi.

　I'm sure you'll be able to get out of the house without having to worry about anything thanks to her presence.

It's always a great help to me to be able to go out without worrying about anything.

Don't worry about it, Kaka. It is a natural part of a man's life to guard his home.

　It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any of these things.

　...... You know, it's very cool, but right now, you're also spilling your juices just like En.
　It's a very good thing that you are able to have a good time with them.

　You don't have a very good idea of what you want to do: .......

...... Sister, you spilled a lot. I'll wipe it up for you.

"Eh, ah, ummmm ......

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier.

　--I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time with us.

"Hey, Leffi. Is this the way we're going to continue to fly over the country?　If it's like today, it's a bit of a hassle, so I'm thinking of flying away from the middle of nowhere as much as possible, and then going to a town or village where I can find a place to stay for the night, or if that's not possible, then I'll just stay out in the open. ......

　My words made Reffi look a little troubled.

I'm not sure if I'm right or not, but I'm not sure if I'm wrong. The speed of development of the human species, especially humans, is astonishingly fast. A hundred years ago, there wasn't a city like this around here.

　Ah, I see.
　Surely the land will look different in a hundred years.

There was one more country between here and the village of the dragon as far as I can remember. ...... That's right...it's too much trouble if I get in trouble again. It's a good idea to avoid human settlements as far as you can tell.

Please. We won't be able to beat them if we have to send out the army like we did today. This time we have an intelligent soldier with analytical skills, so we can relax, but if someone doesn't understand us, we might get attacked as usual.

In its own time, though, it will only destroy them.

"....... En also fight.

　I let out a wry smile at their willingness.

"No, no, I would do that. But you wouldn't want to do that if you could, would you?　I don't want it to be just a fun trip.

Well, I agree with you. All right, all right. Let's go to the least populated area possible. It may take us a bit of a detour.

Okay, just take it slow and enjoy it. You know, en. I'm going to take it easy.

...... anything with two people.

"Haha, okay. You know, whatever works for you.

　I laughed and patted En's head, saying something cute.

How are the guests?

We had a normal meal together as a family and went to our room in harmony. ...... Captain, is that really the legendary High Dragon, so?



　Zelim replies to his subordinate with a dubious look on his face.

I'm sure of it. It's also true that the statue of the high dragon is much different from the ...... rumored one.

　In the first place, why the dragons have taken the form of a human girl is a mystery.
　With the overwhelming presence in her body, there is no doubt about her identity, but I can understand why my subordinates would be suspicious.

　It's a good thing that you're using some kind of magic, or perhaps the girl and the man have lost their wings and horns, so they now look like mere mortals in terms of appearance.

...... And one more thing, who is the little girl who was with them earlier?　She wasn't there when I showed you around, was she?

"Is that the child in the national costume?　That's the one that came out of the sword.

"...... came out of the sword?

"I came out of the sword.

　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your subordinate who replies with a straight face.

"............ I don't even know what's going on anymore.

That's me too. I mean, it's just that I'm starting to feel sad watching you as you're showing off your flirting. ......

I know how you feel, but we're up for it. In any case, it's the biggest crisis in the history of this country.

　The subordinate laughs at Zelim, who continues, "It's the biggest danger of losing your mind.

...... Well, as long as it's an order, I'll do it right.

It's hard to be a soldier at times like this.

Totally.
