Yeah. That's a lot of stuff.

Ugh, geez...

All right, Pappy, good luck with that.

Well, at least half.

　I packed up the lumber I'd cut down and strapped it to Puppy's ankle. I could have carried it myself, but after all, if there's a guy who can fly, it's better to have him carry it.
　The lumber Milo cut was used for house lumber and such. It may take some time to process it, but with this amount of wood, we could at least build a place where Milo and Puppy could spend the night. Well, I probably don't have much of a sense for architecture.
　Mmm-hmmm," I hum naturally as I feel the wind in my face.

'But, sir,' I say. Why did you go out of the blue to get some wood and stuff?

Don't you guys need a place to live?　I'll at least give you a place to get out of the rain and wind.

Sir, sir.

'That's great!　That's the master!　You're very kind!

Oh, no, not really.

No, sweetheart, you don't have to do anything about this.

"Pappy, what did you say?

It's nothing, it's nothing!

　Puppies are well educated, apparently. It's a good thing.
　Riding on the back of the puppy flying somewhat low like that, I look at the destination - the Elf's Hidden Village.
　It's a peaceful village, as usual. And because of the characteristics of the hidden village, there is no smoke cooking or the like. In the first place, if there is smoke from the hiding place, people will find us.
　Slowly, the puppy descends in altitude. He was shaking with his body.

But it's going to be a small house if I have to live with you guys.

I suppose that's inevitable. My Lord and this big one are not the same size.

Chappie's a big girl.

The Puppy-dono is big. It's not so big for me and Master Bau, but it must be big for the Puppies to fit in there.

Yeah. I asked Lute to take care of that for me.

　The problem is that if we build it according to Lute's plans, it will be a very large house.
　It might look like a palace in a hidden village. Well, I'm kind of the savior of the village, so it's nice.
　And I don't mind if the elven children come to visit anytime.

　While we were talking like this, we arrived at the Elf's hidden village.
　But as the puppy slowly descends in altitude.
　But as the puppy slowly descended in altitude, we heard a voice echoing there.

"Don't worry!　Elves!　We have no intention of harming you!

"Pappy, stop.

Oh, my God, you're crazy!

　It is the entrance to the village of the elves.
　Standing there are three humans. I can't understand them because they are still far away from me, but I can hear their voices clearly.
　And the fact that they are calling 'Ladies and Gentlemen of the Elves' means that they are not elves.
　I have a bad feeling, and I make the puppy stop. He doesn't seem to have noticed us behind him yet.

'We are here to slay the dragons that live in this forest!　Our mission is to slay the evil dragon!　Please give us that information!

Stay away from the villages!　Humans!

d*mn it...!

　Through the fence of the hidden village, humans and elves seem to be arguing with each other.
　I can see a child throwing stones at the human side's arguments. Well, an elf who has been persecuted wouldn't trust a stranger, right?
　It took me a rather long time to get them to trust me, too.

How dare you...!　How dare you, my brother's demon!

'I don't have a face to show the man who saved this village!

'What are you talking about?　We are...!

Go away!　Go away!

　Such is the case with three people - two men and one woman.
　The one lying in front of them.

　It's Chappie, on the ground.

"--!

"Mister Chappie!

Mmm.........they........

'What...?　Chappie...?

　With that, I found myself jumping off the puppy.
　With that, I found myself jumping off the puppy. It's not that high of an altitude, and if I put my feet on the trees in the forest, I could handle it.
　With a thumping sound, I landed on the earth.

Muu...!　Two people!　From where...!

'Ah!　There's a dragon!

What?　There's a demon on top of a dragon, huh?

　A thin-faced, graceful man, probably not much older than me.
　A sorceress-like woman in robes, all wrapped up in peach-colored decorations.
　A large man with a balding head, muscular and holding a huge iron ball.

　All of them looked at me at once, and then at the dragon behind me - Puppy.

"Are you ... human?

"...you guys.

I didn't expect a dragon to show up here!　Randy!　Shelly!　Prepare for battle!　Hey, boy!　Get behind us!

....

　I can see that Yuuo is holding his fist in the air.
　His gaze is undoubtedly caught far higher than mine.
　I'm here to slay the dragon - if what the man says is true, then these guys are here to slay the puppies.

'Wait, Drake!　There's lumber connected to the dragon's leg!

"What the...!　Don't tell me that this village is already under the control of a dragon!

Isn't that a trap?

'And that's a minotaur on a dragon!　That's a powerful demon, too!

We'll fight anyway!　Boy!　Behind us...!

　And, and pacing.
　I have no idea what these guys are ranting about. The Elf's Hiding Place is not under the control of dragons, and there is no such thing as a trap. And, incidentally, there is no need for me to be protected behind the scenes.
　But I didn't bother to correct them.
　I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what to expect.

''Eh...?''

You're trying to mess with my guys.

What?　You, my dear, what are you--

Go to hell!

　With all my might.
　My fist pierced through Yuuji's stomach.
