15-Something is wrong with my party members. Complete (illustration included)



 Under the sunny and clear sky.

 'Ariaaaaaaaaaaah! Help me out!
 'Kyahahahahahahaha! Kachel, come on, go faster! They'll catch up to you!

 We had come to defeat a small dragon-type monster called the Komomo Dragon.
 According to my sister, Komomo Dragons are very territorial, and will attack anything that enters their territory, whether it be humans or monsters of any strength.
 They seem to have established their territory near the path of the peddlers, and they want you to take out the komomo dragons in that area.
 Although they belong to the dragon family, they don't have wings, and they chase their enemies wherever they enter their territory with their four strong legs. They have a crocodile-like mouth with a row of sharp teeth, which they use to bite their enemies. These sharp teeth seem to have a venom peculiar to komomo dragons, and if they are bitten, they will be deprived of their freedom and preyed upon alive. By the way, the meat of a komo dragon is popular for its slightly sweet taste. However, because of the danger of the komomo dragons, the number of copies in circulation is (apparently) low, and they are traded for a very high price.
 The reason why we accepted such a quest is simple. The rewards are good. A whopping 50,000 sally for every one we kill. Moreover, Commodore Dragons seem to form territories in groups, and each territory is said to have around ten dragons. With a debt of 600,000 sarees, I had to complete this quest.
 But.

 'Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What a monster! I'm scared! It's overwhelming! What's the point of trying a little harder?
 'Kyah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha'

 I had carelessly walked into the Komomo Dragon's territory, and I did my best to escape. There's no way I can turn around and intercept such a horrible-looking monster. My trusty friend Aria has decided to stand on the high ground outside of the territory.

 ''Aria! Come on! Hurry up and save me!
 
 Hiccup.
 'Kyahahahahahahaha! Come on! That's not good enough for me. Pupu-pupu.

 We'll drag the little bastard off on a rope later. I'll do it.
 Crap. I could probably use Axel to pull him off, but I don't want to use it here, I want to use it when I'm galloping to someone's pinch. But as it is, my stamina is going to run out before I... d*mn it!

 "Gruffalo?

 The komomo dragon chasing after me stopped in its tracks.
 And then I thought.

 Hey! Aria! They're going that way!

 For some reason, the Komomo Dragon shifted its target from me to Aria and ran off to where Aria was.

 ''What? Hey! Wait! I'm not on your turf!
 "I don't give a shit! You're going to show me some of your famous divine powers, aren't you? It's all yours! For now, it's fifty thousand saris!
 "You're relying on me after all, aren't you?
 'Of course! What can I do? All I can do is run a little faster.
 'Mmm-hmm! You can look at me, God, with your fingers in your mouth!
 'Oh! Come on!

 I decided to check on Aria.

 'O earth! Bumps!
 popping

 I was impressed. It's true that if an object running at that speed suddenly hit a wall, there would be no room for one more. It seems that Aria is planning to make the ground rise up like a wall to create a protective barrier to protect herself.

 I'm not going to be able to get it right. It's funny.

 Something is wrong. There's no sign of a wall being created between the Komomo Dragon and Aria.
 What I saw was...

 Hey, Ariar! You mean that little mountain that a child would build in a sandbox, created by the power of God?

 It's not fair to call it a small mountain. What Aria has created at her feet is a small mountain the size of a fist. Even a child would not trip over that thing.

 You can't be quiet! Now that was just a bit of a mistake! I'm going to get serious! Earth! Don't rise!
 popping

 'Hahahahahahaha! Oh, my God! It's the same as before!
 "Grrrrrrrrrr!
 Hi! They're here! They're here! Help me, Kakeruuuuuuuu!
 Why don't you just tell the Commodore Dragon to stop directly?
 'What? We've got a plan! That's Kakeru indeed!
 How can you thank me?
 Yes! You're the monster! Stop!
 "Grrrrrrrrrr!
 Oh, that's it! It's not stopping! KAKEL! The Komomo Dragon won't stop! It's not stopping! Why is that?!
 'I don't give a shit!

 He's useless. I've always thought of the word spirit magic as a cheat spell, but that guy's word spirit magic is useless.

 I'm not going to be able to get a hold of you. KAKEL! Please help me, please help me!

 Shit.

 "'Axel'!

 I used my skills for the first time in my life for a clunky, sassy loli rescue and ran out.
 I wanted to use it in a princess rescue event anyway.
 Not to this crazy Lolita who calls herself a god or something like that.

 'Alright, I've got him! Aria! We're out of here for today! We're missing a lot!

 I take Aria, who was standing there, in my arms and walk away from the Komomo Dragon's territory at full speed.
 I look at Aria in my arms. Aria in the princess hug looks like she's about to start crying.

 -- if only she'd just shut up, she'd be cute, this guy.
