"It's still no good!　We can't go through here!

I'm in trouble. ...... You're human, right?　If you interfere with me, it'll be a treasonable offense.

"Ugh!

　In the event that you've got any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, we'll be happy to assist you.

　As long as you are born into the human race, treason is the greatest stigma.
　I do not know the country, but in that country, Rael's name will remain as an evil forever.

　As a servant of God, this is a reality I wish to avoid at all costs.

"This is it!　Please let the dragon man go!

　Rael, who was in a position of goodness, made a spectacular show of getting down on his knees to get the men to give up.
　There's no way she can ignore the dragons just because the lives of the men are at stake.

　Somehow, they will be let off the hook--that's all Rael can do right now.

...... Hey, what are you going to do?　Are you sure you want to go home like this?

I didn't mean to, but if you're this far gone, ......

Hey, are you serious?　We're in danger.　You've always been a bit of a softy, you know that?

I'm sure you'll be able to handle it if you tell them that you've decided that contact with the dragon people is dangerous.

　The inclination of the men's will.
　Normally, they would not listen to Rael's words and would try to move on even if it meant killing him.

　But these men were different.

"Even the king knew that contact with the dragonborn was impossible. This young lady is probably doing this for a reason.

"...... Why do you think so?

Because she knows it's treason, but she's not going to back down at all.

...... Hun. I don't know. I don't know. You'll have to take full responsibility.

...... Thanks.

　Apparently, the conversation was over between the men.

　One man was compassionate and the other drank the proposal in frustration.

　Both agreed to let it go.
　This is not a normal occurrence.

"So I've decided to let it go with your permission. As for why you're trying to protect the dragon man, I'd rather not ask.

"Oh, thank you very much!　Thank you very much!

　Rael expresses the utmost gratitude he has to the men.
　After all, there are wonderful people in every age.
　I can confirm that fact.


"Hey!　Get ready!

　In such a touching situation, I heard an unexpectedly loud voice.
　It came from the gentle men in front of me.

"Whoa!

　What the hell had just happened?
　By the time I tried to figure it out, it was too late.

"You bastard!　How dare you harm Rael!

　A familiar figure was tearing at the flesh of the man's neck with a buzzing sound.
　His fangs were sharp, and his mouth was stained red with blood.

　The dead man's arms wobbled helplessly in the air.
　By the looks of it, he must have died instantly.

　Rael's mind went blank.

"Are you okay?　Rael!

　A voice came from further behind.
　The owner of the voice mercilessly tore into the disgruntled man.

　The man's body was cut as lightly as paper by the newly completed weapon.
　The man looked quite pleased with the wonderful cut.

　A few drops of blood splattered on Rael's face.

"Um, ......, what are you doing?

What? Rael's life was in danger, so I saved him. I heard from the dragon people that these are probably the people who--

They killed a man.　How can you be like that?

　I'm not sure what to make of that.
　He couldn't believe that he could kill the same people and be as calm as a lich.

　He was filled with anger because he knew those men were good people.

"People are ...... enemies.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.　Doesn't Mr. Richt think ...... anything of it?

Oh.

　A single tear rolled down Rael's cheek when he heard Richt's reply.
　I don't know why I'm crying.

　The more she tried to stop herself, the more tears came to her eyes.

　The more she tried to stop herself, the more she cried.

　Rael couldn't accept it.
