Huh ... huh ...
Yeah ... yeah ...

It's a quintessential earth dragon, even for a child.
It's so hard that it can't even pass magic........
Or rather, it eats magic........

''Hahaha!　Oh, yeah, it's not that big of a deal, sweetheart.　I won't feel like I'm eating unless you knead it with more magic, man!
You're my brother!　That's one bite of magic!
'Oh, my brother!　But the old man is still so annoying!　Well, it ain't working on me at all!
My brother is so cool!

I'm getting increasingly annoyed with that light tone........
The fact that it's not working is even more............

''Ehh..............''
Mentor ... are you okay?
I'd like to say that this is about as far as I can go, but the oncoming wave of aging is severe. If I were thirty years younger, I'd be no match for those frivolous people...

My grandfather seems to be getting tired a lot....
It's understandable.
I'm useless and lame, and he's almost dealing with two of them.
Well, it's because of that that I, who can't move, can still live.......



That's right.
These two earth dragons, their movements are slow.
No, even if I say they are slow, I can't avoid them.
However, just one strike from their tails is powerful enough to make the sand in the desert roll up like a sandstorm, so if it hits, it's over.......

Also, for some reason, Rare Gaia and one more doesn't join the fight.
It should definitely be an opportunity, but not getting the upper hand at all.......it's heartbreaking.

''If Rare Gaia joins in, it's the end of the line.......''
''Right. However, if you defeat one of them, you'll come out...
Ha, it's a dead end.... But I have to do it.

Although they'll be eaten, they can use magic to keep you in check as long as you're not in front of them, and you can replenish your magic potion.
........I feel like I can still do my best.

''But why on earth hasn't Rare Gaia touched it.......?
'Are you training your children in combat?　Huh.......it's a lick of truth....
'No, it's not that kind of sign...'

If only the child would get some combat experience, he would see the fight.
And yet Rare Gaia just stared into the distance, like she was waiting for something....

''M........mukita.''
Here...?

What in the world is he coming........
Thinking about what I'm waiting for, I involuntarily get goosebumps and my blood starts to run cold.
This is the only prediction that can't be right.
And yet.........

''Kore ee ee ee ee ee!
This ... voice ... is ...

The voice of my beloved, who could not be misheard.
I heard the voice of someone who shouldn't be here, who shouldn't be here.


'How could it be...'
"Himemiko Kita.
Why did you.........come.......

Despite my thoughts, my sister smiled happily and waved her hand.
Her brother-in-law sitting beside her also had a smile on his face and was coming towards me.
Ah.........even your brother-in-law.......

''Ahhhh?　What is that?　You've got some delicious magic, don't you?
Brother!　That's the princess maiden!　The guy beside me looks good too!
'Hmm. Mother, the sooner the better, right?
....
I'll take that as a yes!　Let's go, brother!
Aye, brother!
Wait....

In no time at all, the two earth dragons ignored us and advanced towards their sisters.
Desert Parasauro tried to hit the brakes, but when his brother-in-law called out to him, he re-stepped his foot and headed straight for the earth dragons.

''It's all yours!　One bite, ah!
I'll take the leftovers!

The two earth dragons showed leaps that didn't feel like giant bodies and rocky, heavy dragon scales.
They opened their large jaws and should have been aiming for annihilation with a powerful bite.......


Sweet.
You don't lick it, do you?

Shiro-san jumped out of the back of the truck and flicked one of them off with a single knife, while Aina-san and Sorte-san knocked down one of them with their swords and spears.
And then the Desert Parasauro came towards us, showing surprise.



Coren!　Are you okay?!
Sis...........................
Well, that was nice.
'What was good about it!　Why, why did you come back!
Of course I want to save Coren!
Help me you are not of this country anymore!　You don't have the duty of a princess maiden or anything!　Besides, you have a very important human being in your life, so you know you shouldn't come!

Renge looks at the enraged Koren-sama with a wide expression on his face.

''Hahaha!　I'm so pissed!



''Sis-sama!
Oh no. I'm glad you're in good spirits. I didn't think you'd be able to make it!

When Renge smiles at her, she can't say anything and begins to tear up.
I'd say it's 30 percent anger, 30 percent happiness, and 40 percent reassurance.

The beautiful dress is worn out in some places and has become dull and dull from being covered in sand, the small scars on her exposed cheeks and hands, and the sweat stained brown on her forehead make it painfully obvious that she had a tough time.

''Well........that's Rare Gaia, isn't it?

At Renge's words, Coren-sama turned his attention to the earth dragon.

'Himemikoil.'
'Ka, she is indeed a princess maiden, but she is not from this country!　Therefore, I cannot abide by the pact!
"Humanity is a fairy tale, sir.
This is Rare Gaia.....big........

It's much bigger than Cassandra.
I mean ... isn't it too big?　You can't even compare it to a ground dragon!
Everything was too big, both horizontally and vertically, in depth and everything else.
It's not just a matter of how many times you've been in the past, it's also a matter of how many times you've been in the past.

The tail is so thick and tough that it can certainly crush a castle wall or anything else with a single blow.
.........or rather, if that thing is swung around, I don't think there's anything we can do to prevent it......

The only thing that can be done is to make sure that they don't have to do anything. There's no way we'll be able to let him go now.
Mentor...
The old man is tired, too. Thank you for taking care of Coren. You can rest for a while, both of you.
'Hoho ... can I ask for a little ...?'

Mr. Kuduro sits down on the sand, sluggishly relaxing and breathing out heavily.
Handing him a large recovery potion, the old man takes it obediently and drinks it as if bathed in it.
Probably he kept moving while protecting Koren-sama.
That's an amazing old man........

Then we'll take it from here.........
A cloud of sand and smoke erupted in the distance, and two bodies were coming towards us in a wild frenzy.

''I'm going to kill you!　I'm going to smash you up and tear you to pieces and chew you up and bite you to death and eat you!
Do it, brother!　I'm mad at you too!

Oh, he's so angry.
He's so far away, but he's pissed off enough to be heard.
They are threatening with their sharp fangs.

Well the other guy seems to be very motivated, how do we divide them up?
I'll do Rare Gaia myself.
...Are you okay?
He's the guy from the past, you know. I'm going to beat him and end the pact here.
Then we'll help you with that.
'Right. It would be better to spread out the targets for that one in a many-to-one fashion. But even so, we still have three extra targets...

That's right........
I didn't expect not one but four earth dragons.....too unexpected.

'Those two will be taken by White.
Are you okay?　I know he's a kid, but is he a ground dragon?　Can you take on two of them at the same time?
It'll be fine. I'll help you with that when I'm done.

White said with a querulous look on his face.
It's not a problem, since White is relaxed and doesn't seem nervous and says it as if it's a normal thing.

I'm not going to be able to say it, but I'm counting on you.
That still leaves one of them....
In that case, I'd like to--
I'll take one of them.

Mr. Kuduro forced himself to interrupt me to say something reckless.

'My lord?　That's not a good idea...
''Lord it doesn't matter how much you train, you can't take on a ground dragon, can you?　It would have been helpful if you had taken everyone here and retreated to the sky or something.

I turn my attention to the one piece that is a bit farther away.
.........I knew you were there too, Cassandra......

Well, it's not so much that we have a connection to each other, but we have an acquaintance. Whether we fight or not, I'll at least buy some time.
''Then White will take them down as fast as he can and cover the Lord. Until then I'll ask Wendy to take care of that.
'Yes, sir. I will protect you, Lord.

Wendy will protect me........
I want to say I'll protect Wendy............................

Then let's go with that........Lord. Don't ever be reckless.
Yeah.
You can't be too careful. You must always be ready for transference.
Yeah. I know.
Well.........I feel like I'm wasting my time saying it, but....... But for once, I want you to listen to me properly........
I know what I'm doing!　Come on, let's go.

It seems to be pulling back, but Renge bends over, and Aina and Sorte also disentangle themselves, then pang, Renge pounds his fist against his palm and turns to Rare Gaia.

''Sorry to keep you waiting,''
"Um.
I'm sorry, but I don't want to get eaten for free.
"Mulon.
I understand. But we don't want a bunch of people fighting each other, so we'll be out of here for a while.
Wacky.

Renge and the others head a little farther away so that they don't involve Koren-sama and Kuduro-san, and we turn our legs to our respective battlefields.

''Lord. Don't be reckless. Stay alive until White gets there.
Yeah, I know. I know what I'm doing. If it's going to be a battle, I'll run for it as fast as I can.
I promise.
Yeah. I promise.

White leaves a worried look in his eyes and heads towards the two raging bodies.
I'm sure he actually wants to be by my side, but in reality this is the ideal form.
But........I don't have any proof that I can buy time against Cassandra....
If only we could somehow start with a discussion..............well, he should be a dragon with that much reason.
........unlike those guys.

''Hey, hey, hey!　We're not dealing with this little cat!　I'm not kidding!
'Yes, yes, yes!　You little bastard!
"You don't have much magic and you're a brat. It's not even worth it!　I'm going to kill you and eat a delicious woman or man, brother!
'Yes, brother!'

It's a loud and foul-mouthed earth dragon.......
But now that I've seen it, it has a vicious look to it.
........I'm a little curious and stop to look at White.

''........If you have a name to give, you'd better get it over with.
Oh?
White is in a hurry. So when he can't talk, he can't say anymore.
"You ... lick it. All right!　You better watch your ears, you idiot!　I'm Brother Jiryuu!　Rockus!
''I'm your brother Earth Dragon!　Rocks!
Scum and scum. Mm. I know. You can die now.
'f*ck you!　I'm going to kill him!　I don't care if you're a little guy or not biting, I'm going to kill you!
Pincer!

Rockus and Locks begin to charge furiously at White.
But White didn't panic, he held his knife at the ready.

"White is not a little guy. White.

A white haze can be seen clinging to White's surroundings.

It must have been the strongest technique I know of for White.
The wear and tear must have been intense because of that, but White's expression looks relaxed.
So I don't look any further and head to do my part.

'White is angry when he tries to eat the Lord. Besides....
"Get chewed up and chewed up!
I'm gonna gouge you!

Well, I think White will be fine.

"....skalike style, head high.

Because White had assured me that he was going to beat them as fast as he could.
