The place of falconry instantly panicked.

　Apparently too strong a monster.
　Because of the nature of falconry, it is normal to prepare "a large number of decent monsters" for the competition of several people.
　No one had expected such a powerful monster, and the confusion was compounded by the fact that some of the women fell over with a roar.

　I could have killed them, but I went to Chosen first.

"Chosen!
"Mr. Carlisle!　Please beat it quickly.

　Chosen greeted me with an innocent smile, as if he had done nothing wrong.

"What was that? How did you get that thing out?
"It's for Mr. Carlisle!　Ordinary small fry monsters don't stand out from Master Carlisle's strength. Master Carlisle needs at least this soul-eater.
"...... just to show off me?
Of course!

　It's a good thing that you've got a good idea of what you're talking about.

　Seriously, ...... and words that you would not normally use were about to spill out.

　For such a thing, just for that one thing.
　You put everyone here in danger for that one thing.

　This person is ...... no.
　Now is not the time to think about that.
　We have to stop that dragon first.

　Turn around and face the dragon.

　A number of young noblemen crowded around the powerful monster.
　And all of them fell and moaned.

　Only Hosen is standing.

This fellow is tricky.
"Hosen!
"Oh, brother-in-law. You want it?
"Yes.
"Leave it to me.

　Hossen, who had been facing the dragon with two swords, returned his weapon to its scabbard with what I had just done.

　My muscles relaxed and I was in full spectator mode.

　I can feel the same "trust" as Chosen, but unlike Chosen, I don't feel like an annoyance - oops.

　I don't have time to think about that, this guy first.

　I kicked the ground and jumped up into the air.

Let's go.
(Pause!)

　I flickered in seven colors, and drew the sword of the wise men and released it.

"Come on!　The Thunder of Judgment

　Instantly the sky blackened and a bolt of lightning more than twice my size struck.
　I caught it with my wise man's sword, brandished my electrified sword, and rushed toward the dragon.

　Boom!

　An earth-shaking blow, a lightning-dusted slash that snapped both sides of the dragon's brain.

　Almost as soon as I landed, the dragon fell with a thud and stopped moving.

　.............

""Ohhhh!"

　Cheers erupted from everyone present.

'Good job, Lord Carlisle.

　After the appearance of the dragon, Eliza, guarded firmly by the guards, stood up, cracked the guards, and chided me.
　The compliments the emperor had given me made the cheers grow stronger.

　I glanced at Chosen with a mixture of smug and enraptured expression on her face.

　It's not a good idea to follow her plan, but what needs to be defeated has to be defeated, so--

""Kyah!"

　Suddenly, from a distance, there was a yellow scream.

　All present turned their eyes to the source of the scream.

　There was a woman. Judging by her attire, she was a countess.
　The countess, probably knocked out by the earlier roar, lay on the ground, cramping to a level of bouncing and jerking, her body gathering an indescribable aura of power.

　Immediately afterwards, a transformation occurs.

　The countess was "transformed.

　She transformed, swelling outward from inside her body.
　In a flash, the countess became a dragon.

　Exactly the same dragon as before.

　There are more screams, and all the nobles and servants around them are running for cover.

Cheryl!　Are you okay, Cheryl!

　There was one man among them who did not run away.
　By the way he was dressed, he was the Count - surely her husband.

　He desperately called out to his wife, who had transformed into a dragon, but the dragon didn't care about her husband and swung his huge paw down.

"--!

　Quickly rushes in, catching the heavy blow with the wise man's sword.


　Mischief!　I thought I heard a noise, and my feet dug into the ground for my shoes.

Hey, Father!
"Run!
"But ......
"Hurry!　I'll bring it back in one way or another!


"Please!　She and the child in her ...... tummy!
"-- Yeah, yeah!

　Nodding, the Count finally grimaced and moved away from the scene.

　The dragon's chase came flying in.
　It opened its wide mouth and spat out scorching fire.

　Raise your wise men's sword and blow away the flames.

　I held up my sword to silence him for the moment, and the next moment.

The next moment.
"There it is, too!
"Hey, we're changing too!

　Screams and impatient voices could be heard from all over the place.

　I looked to see that the fallen women were still trying to change into dragons one after another.
　Was that howl like some kind of infection?

"Chosen!　...... clicky.

　I asked her what kind of monster she was, and I saw that she was slumped over by Chosen, the one who had done it.
　The unexpected event, the entrance to the scene, made her slump down, let go, and tremble.

I'm in no condition to ask ...... what I should do.
(--)

　The information from the philosopher's sword flowed into my head.

　Earlier, the sword had picked up the monster's name in a brief conversation with Chosen.

　Soul Eater.

　It is a kind of demon dragon that has extremely high fighting ability, and of course, it is a monster that eats souls and multiplies them to increase the number of individuals.

　The souls it eats are babies.
　It's a baby in its mother's belly.

　The soul-eaters use the pregnant mother's body, which heard their howl, to increase in number.

　If you look, you'll see that some are passed out and others are about to change, all women and some look like heavyset.

　Not only the "Mrs." but also the maid has fallen and is in the process of transforming. ...... I decided not to think about it for now.

　Solution first.

　Soul Eater.
　Change in the soul of the mother and the baby.
　So there's one way to solve it.

It works, right?
(Pause!)

　With the approval of the sword of the wise man, I sprang into action.

　I take out the bag of materials and put my hand inside.
　I make homunculus after homunculus and pull them out of the bag.

It's glowing. ......
"I'm shining. ......

　With screams and exclamations, create a homunculus for the number of people who have fallen.

　And the magic--

"--!

　A moment later, I had a terrible headache.
　I hadn't used too much magic or been attacked.

　My advice.

　Those two words popped into my head.

"It won't happen.

　Glancing up at the sky--in the direction of the heavens, I say with a clear tone of voice: "It won't be like the silver disaster!

"This is not going to be like the silver disaster!

　So stated.

　I used Herschel's secret formula to pluck the souls of all the fallen women and children from their bodies.

　I drew the souls and placed them in the homunculus for now.

　With the children's souls gone from their mothers, the soul-eaters could not meet the requirements to change, and the dragons disappeared completely from the scene.
