"Hey, Dorothy. Are you sure we're in the right place?

Yes, I'm sure. I'm sure there's at least one here - but I don't think it's just one.

　They arrived at a canyon that looked like a place where dragons might live.
　It was a scene of natural beauty, but they couldn't let their guard down.

　If you look closely, you can see some holes in the rock.
　If you were to poke at them, they would come right out with their fangs.

Aria, what are we going to do ......?　Can we win in the first place ......?

"Hmm. I think we can handle this number. It's a little different if you have children.

Have children?　What does that have to do with anything?

It does. Not just for dragons, either. Having children, especially females, is much more dangerous. They'll try to protect their children at all costs.

　Aria has many experiences to teach Licht about the wild.
　There is a huge difference in strength between those who have something to protect and those who have nothing.

　It's the same for demons, dragons, and humans.

　There was no way that Aria could have known that it was the spawning season for dragons.
　This was the only development that was completely left to chance.

"If you have children, it would be to your advantage to target them--

"That's true, but I don't like to fight that way. I think it's a good strategy, Richt.

　I think it's a good strategy, Richt." Richt's suggestion was rejected for the simple reason that he didn't like it.
　But there was no one to complain about it.

　The same situation must have happened in the past when Aria saved Rose.
　If Aria hadn't been this way, Rosé might not be here now.

　The fact that Aria had rejected the proposal made Rose's eyes light up.

"Well, don't worry. Don't worry. Even if they are a flock, they won't be as numerous as lizards. Licht is there in case of irregularities.

Mr. Richt, what if something happens?

Of course. ......

　I hadn't realized it, but it seems that Richt has a very important role to play.
　Licht's work is inevitably irreplaceable.

　He was confident that he would not fail, but the pressure was still on him.

　Also, Richt and his team have no idea how much intelligence the dragon has.

　If they see through Richt's ability, they may try to take him away.
　Even with the "revive the dead" skill, it is impossible to revive someone once they are some distance away.

...... Rose, I'll take care of the next one.

Yes, yes!　I'll take care of it!

What?

　I don't think Licht alone can resist the dragon's attack.
　In order to prevent the worst case scenario, it was inevitable that he would ask for help from Rosé or Aria.

　Fortunately, Rosé was willing to help, so I could concentrate on my own work without worry.

　It was unusual for Faith to raise her voice, but under the circumstances, there was no way Licht could look back.

　He could hear her mumbling behind his back, but he pretended not to hear her for a little while longer.
