Tsutomu and the three of them were transferred to a shallow mortar-like terrain and landed on the ground. In the distance, the three of them could see the largest cliff, which looked like it had been split open with an axe, and valleys of all sizes stretching out around it.


'Fly, protect, heist!'


　Tsutomu paid off his white cane and applied his support skills to three people, including himself. Garum and Camille began to hold the weapons on their backs with both hands. Then a red object flew out of the valley of a large cliff ahead of them.

　Instantly, a roar that made the atmosphere tremble from the sky. The air trembled and screamed, and many pebbles fell from the cliff with a flurry.

　It's a good idea to make sure that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any of them. The entire body trembled and the two of them fell into the illusion that their mouths were instantly dry.

　An overwhelmingly strong man reigns in the sky with huge wings flapping. A fire dragon that rages at the fact that a person has entered its territory. Camille can't move with her great sword at the ready. Because she was made aware of how tiny she is.

　Camille is called the divine dragon person who is closest to the dragon. But in front of the fire dragon, he was a dwarf. Even now, her knees were shaking and she felt like she would collapse. Her arms were also shaking in small increments as if shivering from the cold.

　Due to her race as a dragonborn (Dragon Newt), Camille had feelings of admiration and challenge towards the fire dragons she saw on the monitor. However, after confronting the fire dragon in person, she realized that was a mistake. There is no way that I am close to that thing. There is no way a person can win against that thing. And with only three people.

　While Camille was in a state of depression, Garum was bracing himself for pure fear. The feeling of awe that the weak feel for the strong. He could only freeze in that instinctive emotion.


''Oh, this is going to come Bres. Get ready!''


　Among them, only Tsutomu was still giving instructions to the two of them with a voice that seemed to be missing as usual. The roar of the fire dragon was only deafening to him, as he was directly affected by the roar of the burning old dragon.

　Then Tsutomu noticed the two people who were frozen and unable to move. He popped their shoulders, but they didn't show any reaction. The fire dragon leans its long, slender neck and catches the three of them and begins to move its wings in a parallel motion and begins to take an assault stance.

　Tsutomu munches on Garum's pinned black tail that is protruding from the fire armor.


''Nuh-oh.''


　Garum, who held his tail after jumping up on the spot, looked at Tsutomu with a panicked look on his face. Tsutomu looked at Garum with a dumbfounded expression.


'Don't be scared, move quickly. It's about to come.''


　Galum, who was instructed by Tsutomu with a zit eye, looked at the fire dragon that was gliding by with his body fluttering like a snake, though he looked restless. He then moved his hands, which were motionless like a gold bondage, and put the hood of his fire armor on and curled his tail as well to contain it. Tsutomu then flicked Camille's still unmoving cheek.


'Camille?'
"I can't do it. We can't win.


　But she let out a few words as if she was out of her mind and sat down on the ground with a hefty smile. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well.


''What?　Hey, what's going on?　I don't think you're the type, do you?
Three people can't do it.
What?　At least tell me when you've tried it!　It was like a warrior race, weren't you!
..........


　Because Camille was a true divine dragon person, her heart was already broken as she instinctively realized that she couldn't defeat the fire dragon. Only three people. There was no way they could defeat a fire dragon by themselves. Besides, there was no way Garum alone could suppress such a monster. The words swirled in Camille's mind.

　Tsutomu gently let go of Camille's hand from Camille, who didn't react as if she had fainted when he shook her shoulder.


(This isn't what I expected. She didn't seem like such a cowardly character.)


　Tsutomu didn't expect that Camille, who was so confident, would become useless, but he quickly switched and nonchalantly brought down Camille's weapon. He then wrapped her in a fire armor as she crouched down.

　Already the fire dragon is gliding from the sky with its throat area glowing red. Tsutomu shouted as he took out a flashlight bottle from his magic bag.


''I'm going for the flashlight!　BREATH!


　Tsutomu stood in front of the fire dragon that was approaching while leaking flames from its mouth. He then swung the flashlight bottle as hard as he could and threw it at the fire dragon. The fire dragon spat out a blazing fire that burned the ground.

　Tsutomu quickly rolled his body up tightly in his long sleeved fire armor and received the breaths even as Camille held him up so that he could properly defend himself against the breaths.

　It's a sound as if air is being blown on it. And a slight heat felt to the back. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. After Tsutomu had endured it for nearly ten seconds, the bracelet stopped.

　The flashlight bottle successfully exploded in front of the fire dragon's eyes. The fire dragon, whose eyes were temporarily blinded by it, flapped its wings and stayed in the sky, closing both eyes and moving its long neck from side to side as if in alarm.

　When Tsutomu saw the squatting Camille, he decided she couldn't move yet, so he took out a hammer from his magic bag and approached the fire dragon himself.

　Tsutomu takes out a hammer from his magic bag and approaches the fire dragon himself. It has a long snake-like tail and neck. Three black claws on four legs. The slender body is covered with fine red scales that stick to the body in a regular pattern. Tsutomu swiftly approaches the fire dragon's face area.

　If he opened his mouth, it looked as if he would be swallowed up as it was. Hearing the fire dragon's breath up close, Tsutomu passed by with a chill running down his spine, and found a small crystal on his forehead. Tsutomu's right hand, holding the hammer, gets stronger.

　However, the crystal is quite difficult to aim at as his head is bobbing. Tsutomu decides that it would be more reliable to break it after getting on the forehead, rather than getting closer to it and breaking it, as he saw on the monitor, and decides to prepare himself. If he failed to break the crystal here, now that Camille couldn't move, he would be completely untouchable against a fire dragon that was flying freely in the sky.

　Tsutomu reapplied the Haste to himself again as if he was ready, and then headed vigorously towards the fire dragon's forehead.

　He landed on his knees on the fire dragon's forehead. Immediately, Tsutomu raises one hand and swings the hammer down. When the hammer caught the center of the crystal, the roar of the ketama fire dragon hit Tsutomu. The loudness of the roar made Tsutomu lose his equilibrium, but he jumped back as if he were blown away from the fire dragon's forehead.

　And then the fire dragon's large mouth opening bite looming there. Tsutomu is greeted by a mouth full of sharp teeth that seem to shatter even rocks. He pointed his white cane into his mouth.


''Airblaze!''


　Tsutomu slammed a maximum power airblaze into its mouth. He hurriedly fled back to the ground as the fire dragon was frightened as a shallow slice was made in his mouth.

　Even as he rubbed his milky skin, Tsutomu lost his crystal power and watched the fire dragon glide towards the ground. Then he landed awkwardly on the ground, holding his ears and wobbling around. He twisted his ankle with a jerk.


''Ick!


　Tsutomu twisted his left ankle and rolled to the ground, writhing in pain. Deaf and deafened and with his senses fading, Tsutomu couldn't get up for a little while.


'Warrior Howl.'


　Garum then slammed his great shield and armor towards the fire dragon that had lost its ability to fly after its crystal was broken. The fire dragon caught by the Warrior Howl's sound turned his gaze towards Garum.

　Tsutomu shook his head at the ringing in his ears that had finally subsided and heeled at the ankle he'd hurt on the landing. He then ran over to Camille, who still hadn't gotten up. The state abnormality of being in a state of panic wasn't in the game, but it was the same for the madness caused by the dragonization. Tsutomu poured a medic on Camille just to be sure.

　Then, although it was unclear whether or not it had any effect, Tsutomu felt as if the power began to return to Camille's eyes. He at least spoke to her in a cheerful voice.


'Are you okay?'
Yeah, I'll be fine.


　Camille picked up the fallen great sword and stood up, her legs shaking like a fawn. From everyone's point of view, she was in no condition to fight. Tsutomu appeased Camille by holding her shoulders as she tried to force herself to get up.


''Prote. Yeah. It doesn't seem to be okay at all. For now, just be wary of Breathless and observe for a while.
Wow. I am.
"I just wanted to get my bearings. If you turn into a dragon all of a sudden, I won't be able to keep up with you.


　Saying that, Tsutomu, who had Camille put her fire armor back on, flew the protection to Garum. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.

　Camille was unable to resist the feeling of fear she hadn't had in a long time, and moreover, she didn't fully trust them. The combination of the two made her body freeze like a stone.

　Although Garum also stiffened with fear at first, he has great faith in Tsutomu. So he no longer froze in fear when he was exposed in front of the fire dragon's eyes.

　Standing up on two legs behind him, the fire dragon squeezes his long tail behind him like a whip. Garum blocked it with his great shield in his hands, but he couldn't withstand it and was flung away. While scraping the rocky ground, however, Garum did not fall.


''Shield Throw.''


　Garum throws a large shield. It hit the fire dragon's right hind leg, but it was easily bounced and came back to Garum's hand. The fire dragon turned to Garum and inhaled a breath.


''Breath!''


　At the same time as Tsutomu's cry, a burning breath was released from the fire dragon's mouth. Garum turned away, firmly covering the fire armor he was wearing. The flames attacked Garum as if to sear him.

　The fire dragon, which continued to spit out breaths for fifteen seconds, was interrupted as it bit through the flames. The fire dragon's expectation that the person who had turned into charcoal would be lying there was betrayed.


''Combat Cry!''


　A red fighting spirit was released from Garum, who flipped the fire armor he was wearing. It covered the fire dragon's feet. In contrast, a raging cry.


''Heel!''


　Tsutomu heels away from Garm a bit, repairing Garm's entire body with his heels. With all four feet on the ground, the fire dragon crawls closer to Garum. The black claws on the tips of his four fingers crunch and scrape the hard ground.

　Garum, who has been warned by Tsutomu not to take a direct bite or slash with his claws only, took the slash of a paw, a sharp claw, with his large shield, which was waved as he approached on all four legs.

　Garum was blown away like a stone that a man had kicked. The iron shoes he was wearing scraped the ground and made a high pitched sound. Rolling and regaining his position, Garum faced the fire dragon again.

　A whip-like blow with his tail. A scratching of a paw. Garum takes it all with his large shield and is blown away as he rolls around the ground. But it never falls down. Despite being blown away, he regains his stance and quickly makes his way to the fire dragon.

　He blows it away many times. However, the fire dragon lets out another cry of rage at the little one who is cocky enough to confront him. He tries to crush it with his paws, but the small one avoids the stomping.

　Tsutomu continues to hit such garmes with flying heels and protection. If the fire dragon tries to turn its attention to Tsutomu, Garum draws his attention with a shield throw and combat cry.

　The repetition continues for a while. Garum avoids the bite that is released like a spear thrust after shrinking his long neck, and Breath prevents the backward-flowing flames with his fire bracelets at the same time as Tsutomu's voice.

　After repeating this for a few dozen minutes, Tsutomu pulls out a water bottle from his magic bag and then comes up from the sky near Garum before activating the skill.


''Barrier.''


　A transparent wall-shaped barrier was deployed to split the space between Garum and the fire dragon. The fire dragon was frightened by the barrier that suddenly appeared. However, that barrier would be broken by a single blow if it were a fire dragon attack.

　However, being able to prevent that blow from occurring gives Garum an opening to take a breath. Tsutomu made Garum, who had distanced himself from the fire dragon, drink some water. Seeing that his breath was a little disturbed, Tsutomu kept the medic on him.

　The fire dragon tore the barrier off like paper with a slash of his claws. After receiving the water bottle from Garum, Tsutomu patted him on the back to encourage him and turned him towards the fire dragon.


(It's okay. At this rate, Garum won't collapse. (Recovery will catch up with him.)


　Garum's role as a tank has been pulled off to the fullest. At least as long as Garum and Tsutomu don't make any mistakes, they can't lose. But they can't win, either. Garum alone doesn't have enough firepower, and if Tsutomu moves to attack, he'll have tighter hate management and more blue potions to spend. Without an attacker, they will not be able to win.

　Tsutomu looked in the direction where Camille was, and she was flying underneath him with a large sword. They had been fighting together against the fire dragon for several minutes, and Camille was encouraged by their appearance.


'Camille!　Are you all right now?!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry for my disappointment.
Hmm?　Oh, your lack of sleep looks fine now, doesn't it?
...Oh!


　She replied to Tsutomu, who gave Camille a nasty smile as she bowed her head, and she sounded as confident as usual. Tsutomu is relieved at her condition. The cards are now in hand. Now it's time to start, Tsutomu stared at the fire dragon with eyes like a hunter.
