...What's the vibe?

　Kana, walking next to me, mumbles to herself. That's what I want to hear, too.

　The day after we built an amusement park and had fun with Allen, Elene and the others, and did this and that with my wives at night, we came to the Raven Kingdom on the last continent, but for some reason Kalendina has been acting strange since the morning.

　She's been blushing and glancing at me since the morning, but when I asked her what's wrong, she hurriedly said it was nothing, and then she stopped talking. So there has been a silence that I don't quite understand.

　Even now, I glance at Calendina's face, but if she makes even the slightest eye contact with me, she looks away in a hurry. Did I, what did I do?

'Mr Ray, what have you done to Miss Calendina?　I can't believe it was normal yesterday and today it's changed this much.

'Hmm, I don't remember it either. If I did remember, I'd apologize for it...

　I don't know what I did, but it feels kind of weird to say I'm sorry. As I was thinking about that, Kana got my attention and asked Calendina what was wrong.

　Calendina doesn't want me to hear it, or maybe she and Kana leave a bit. So, glancing at me, Calendina seems to be talking to Kana about things.

　As Kana listens to Karendina, her expression becomes bitter as she listens to Karendina's story. I knew I was doing something wrong, didn't I?

　Then Kana and Calendina come back to see if they've finished talking. Calendina hides behind Kana, though.

'So, how did it go, Natsuna?'

'Yeah, I'm fine. It's not like you've done anything in particular, Ray.

Okay. Well, good for you.

　Calendina, too, bows her head apologetically behind Kana. She still doesn't seem to be able to talk to me face to face, but maybe because she talked to Kana, she doesn't look away from me anymore. Well, hey, hey, we'll be back like before.

　Then we walked through the Raven Kingdom's royal capital again. The Raven Kingdom is different from other continents, it is the only continent where dragons live.

　I've heard that the knights of the Raven Kingdom have been raising child dragons to work as dragon knights since they joined the army.

　It is said that the dragon knights can fly over a wide area and are powerful enough to defeat even Kokushi. Because of this, the population is larger than other continents, and the number of soldiers is not inferior to the empire.

　However, the fact that Cleena told me the royal capital, it's safe to assume that there's someone in the royal capital who wants to be there. If it's somewhere else or something else, we won't be able to find them.

Well, you can count on Carendina to help you out. I'm counting on you.

'What?　Hee, hee!

　 When I asked why this happened, Calendina wouldn't tell me, and Kana would only laugh bitterly.

　Then, as we walked around the royal capital, we found a shop that was run solely by children. They have slightly misshapen vegetables and knitted goods.

　For some reason, that reminds me of Pricia and her friends. At that time, I couldn't help but buy them because Mei and the others were working so hard to sell them. It's a fond memory.

You're going to be able to find out what's going on, Ray-kun?　Looking at a stall like that?

Hmm?　No, looking at that stall reminded me of the time I met Pricia and the others. That time, guys were tangling with girls like that....
　
　Are these things the same everywhere?　I was giddily looking at the stalls when a group of three guys started kicking the stalls.

　 Ah, it's kind of deja vu.

　I was about to stop her, because I didn't want to just watch her like this.

Will you stop it, boys!

　And the blond man stands to protect the girl. Oh, isn't he a brave man. It's annoying that he's so handsome, though.

'Huh?　Who the hell are you?　Don't stick your nose in the middle of something that has nothing to do with you.

"I don't care if it's a relationship or not, I will not allow anyone to mess with a girl!　Take that!　Justice Punch!

　The blonde guy was like, "Whoa! He shouted at the man and hit him. The man intercepts it.

...hmph!

I don't know.

　He shook his arm lightly. The man's fist slammed into the blond man's face without an inch of deviation, sucking him in, and the blond man was blown away.

　The children, who had been expecting the blond man to come to their rescue, froze with their mouths open. So did the girl who fell to the ground.

'What the hell is this guy? All it took was a slight wave of his arm to hit him in the face, and he just passed out.

　The guy certainly isn't twitching. He's seriously out of it. Eventually the guys grab the girl's hand and try to take her somewhere.

　The kids around me try to grab the guys and keep them from going, but the guys don't care and shake off the kids grabbing them.

　Kana and Calendina are glancing at me, and their eyes are saying, "Can't we just go? I tell them. I move closer to the men, feeling their eyes on me.

'....What. Are you one of those fallen guys?

'No, I had nothing to do with it at all, but I couldn't see myself forcing a girl to go with me.

　When I say that to the guys, a blue streak runs across their foreheads. Have I gone over the edge because I'm here where I was at the limit with the guy earlier?

They're all bogus!

　The man who was carrying the girl hits me with his other hand. I grab my hand and twist the man's arm along with the flow of power. Then the foot sweeping is with me.

　The guy is surprised that his body is suddenly in the air, and he lets go of the girl. I slam the man to the ground and then hold the girl. In a princess hug.

　The girl is looking around, rolling her eyes. She doesn't seem to be hurt. Meanwhile, the three of them stand around me. The guy who slammed me down also stares at me while rubbing his back.

''You, don't get carried away!

　All three men hit me with a kick as they each hit me. I have my hands full. I release a spinning kick to reap their necks, and the men are blown away, unable to react. I don't seem to have any friends around.

　Well, first, let's treat the unconscious blond man.
