'Gruaaaaaah!
Hmm, so you're Bahamut.

　I nodded in front of a huge jet black dragon that spread its wings wide to intimidate us.
　This evil dragon, called Bahamut, is said to be a mythical class of demon, along with Behemoth and Leviathan.

　Why am I confronting such a demon now?
　It would be a long story, so I'll try to summarize it briefly.

　Ark and Leila are gone and I have no time for them.
　Fear is only two years old, so I can't train her (she was stopped by Laina in the first place).
　So we went on a trip for a while.
　Then we found a large island in the sky.
　It was inhabited by people with angelic wings on their backs (but they can't fly).
　They were suffering from the damage of a jet black evil dragon.
　Due to various reasons, they decided to go and defeat that evil dragon, Bahamut.
　Up to the present.

　And well, it goes something like this.

''Gluaaaaaah!

　It seems that this evil dragon, unlike Befi and the others, is unable to communicate.
　Moreover, it seems to have a rather violent and belligerent character, and just by entering their territory for a moment, they become angry.

''Hm?''

　I had a bad feeling, and I flew to the side as quickly as I could.

　Cackle - doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

　Then, in an instant, a light passed through the place where I was just now.



　Apparently, it spat out a ray of light from its mouth.
　When I looked back, the ground had been gouged out in a straight line for several tens of meters.
　That's quite a powerful thing.

This time it's our turn.
Huh?

"I'll close the distance with my god's fast feet and deliver a slash to its gut.
　However, due to the hard scales that are typical of dragons, it was not a fatal wound.
　It was only a one-meter long wound to the giant body at most.

''Ahhhh!
Isn't he in a little too much pain?

　Bahamut screams loudly and in agony for it.
　Maybe it's because he didn't have a natural enemy until now, or maybe his tolerance for pain is low.

　Kaa----dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
　Ka-o-o-o-o-o-o-ooh!
　Ka-o-o-o-o-o-o-ooh!

You're firing too many shots!

　Bahamut fires a series of haphazard shots without even aiming a beam of light at it.
　Since it's too late after seeing it, I use my premonition-level intuition to avoid all of them.

''Hm?''

　What I thought then was that Bahamut flapped his wings and flew into the sky.
　As I wondered, Bahamut just flew away.

''Wait a minute. You're not trying to escape?

　It was like that no way.
　Bahamut's huge body was getting further and further away from me.

"No, that was just a greeting.

　I hurriedly flew through the air and chased after Bahamut.

''A mythical grade demon is trying to escape!　Come back!
Grrrr!

　

　I had no choice but to continue chasing Bahamut, but the opponent is a demon that lives in the sky.
　I was confident in my flying speed, but before I knew it, I found myself gradually being separated from it.

　Eventually, they only look like bean grains.

''Hmm........what should I do?''



　　　　◇ ◇ ◇



Because being forced to marry that creepy, balding, old man is worse than being dead!

　Leila's voice echoed through the square.
　The hall instantly fell silent at the ridiculous insult to the crown prince of another country.

　Hey, what are you doing, Leila!
　I shudder at what my twin sister has done.

　But.........what Leila says is never wrong.
　Even though it was a political marriage, I couldn't forgive Celes-san for marrying such a creepy old man.

''Or, she's right........''
What's wrong with Her Highness, that balding, fat guy?
Yeah, yeah, yeah!　I won't allow any engagement!

　Then some students began to speak out, forgetting that the teachers had warned them.
　More and more of them agreed with them, and the voices of opposition spread one by one.

'Nah, nah, nah...'

　As for the Crown Prince on the stage, his face is flushed with anger and shame, and his mouth is crunching like a washed-up fish.

''Shh, be still!''
You will be taken away for treason!

　The knights hurriedly threatened, but the opposition grew louder rather than subsided.

''King Rahart, what does this mean?
Oh, slow down, Master Abdul...
I don't know how I'm going to stay calm with this kind of humiliation.

　Crown Prince Abdul seemed to be furious and grabbed at the king.
　When he was somehow pulled off by the knights, the crown prince, breathing heavily, loudly announced to the booing royal citizens, "War!


''It's war!　An empire as weak as this one could easily destroy a nation as weak as this one!　When the victory is won, all of these foolish king's people will be enslaved by our nation!


The war...?
The Empire and...?
"Well, seriously...

　It seems that the King's people, who had been getting hot and bothered by the Crown Prince's statement, finally understood the meaning of what they had done.
　The king-sama and Celes-san are both pale.

　If it were to become a war, the kingdom's side, which is inferior in terms of national strength, would be at a disadvantage, without a doubt.

　I weaved my way through the crowd of people and finally arrived at Leila's place.

Hey, Leila!　What the hell are you doing?
"Spitzer?

　A fluent sister who tilts her head in the air with a big smile.
　From there!

'Gruaaaaaah!
?

　It was right then that a deafeningly powerful yell came from the sky.
