There you are. You're asleep, Demon Lord.

Crunchy.

　Dorothy pinpointed the dragon's location in the darkness.
　As a result, the hole is filled with a plethora of dead spirits, but there is no sign that the dragon is aware of this and wakes up.

　Perhaps it's the comfort of being at the top of the food chain.
　It's a majestic sleeping form.

"What should we do, Demon Lord?

"I'd be happy to let you sleep forever, but that would be boring, wouldn't it?

...... Yes.

Haha, that's honest.

　I've just told you that we have to hurry for the sake of the Richters, but Dorothy does not hide her feelings.

　If she ends up not being able to see anything after having been able to work with Aria, she will continue to feel bewildered.
　I was so eager to know the secret of Aria's strength that I couldn't help but show my honest heart.

"Thanks to you, I arrived early. Now that you've arrived early, I'll grant you a little wish.

"Oh, really?

Oh, really? I know you've been wanting to see me fight.

　I know you've been wanting to see me fight," Dorothy said with a blatantly happy expression.
　Her mind was already occupied with Aria, not with Licht and the others.

　It's a little embarrassing, but it's a small price to pay to see Aria fight right in front of you.

I've already collected all the dead spirits, so please fight to your heart's content!

...... You're too good at this.

　The battlefield was set up without Aria needing to give an order.
　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to try.

I had promised to show it to Rose, but that's okay.

"Wow, the Demon Lord uses weapons, doesn't he?

"No, no, I don't usually use them. I don't usually use them, but sometimes I like to use them just for fun. The dragons made it for me.

　While correcting Dorothy's words, Aria approached the dragon.

　Dragons are a lower race than dragons.
　By thinking of it as a game in which the dragons are defeated by using their weapons, she found some fun in the battle.

　If Iris or Tise had been here, they would have thought the same thing as Aria.

"Alright. Hurry up and get up--" "Whoa!

　Without hesitation, Aria thrust her weapon into the sleeping dragon's tail.
　This is a great way to make sure that you don't get caught in the middle of the action.

　It woke up in a menacing way, with a tearing cry.

"Dorothy, are your ears all right?

"Yes, yes. Yes, my Lord.

　Dorothy's reply came back firmly.
　The human eardrum is still fragile, and I had feared that I might have damaged an important organ, but it seems that my fears were unfounded.

　Unlike Licht, he had good instincts and had covered his ears as soon as possible.

You can protect yourself, right?


Of course I can!

　When Dorothy was living in the human world.
　I saw a being called the Dragonslayer once.

　I'll never forget it.
　Her strength was so extraordinary that she still remembers it hundreds of years later.

(Amazing ......)

　But.
　But now, the Demon Lord in front of me has easily surpassed that existence, as if he were overriding it.
