Finally, it's the day the three of us, except for me, are leaving.

　We're in front of the guild branch just like when we arrived.

'Zied isn't leaving either?'

'I don't know much about the outside world, you know. I'm just sightseeing for a day or so.

'I see. Even if you say ......, there are only a few people who know about the elven world.

That's why it's tourism. Knowledge is knowledge.

　I have more losses than most guys.

　Even if it's only a day's stay, that could be my information.

"Huh. Even if you stay long enough, you can't drink the sap, can you?

　Phil says as he nails it.

'I know, I know ......, but I would have loved to have had one.'

　In the end, the amount that I had managed to secure was turned over to the demons.

　I wonder how long it will be before the divine tree blossoms next ....... When I thought of its lustrous and delicious appearance, my stomach felt like it was about to rumble--.

''Hmm?''

　Suddenly, I felt a magical power from deep within the ground.

　Soria senses something is wrong with me and asks me a question.

''W-what's wrong?''

No, this is--

　The ground rises in a reserved manner with a bobble.

　Suddenly, Phil draws his sword in alarm. Yui also takes a step back.

　I also step in between to ensure the safety of Soria.

''I didn't see you there!

　The one who came out as he said it was the Earth Dragon King from sometime ago.

　It had its arms and legs aligned on the ground and said to me while attaching its head to the ground.

　It has the exact opposite attitude from when we met before.

'I didn't expect you to know that Mr. Jade and I were rude to you!　The rustic dragon is on a roll!　Please forgive me!

　He clings to me in a half-crying state.

　I'm worried that the buildings around it will collapse because of its massive body.

This!　It's a sap!　Please pay it forward!

　The Earth Dragon King continued further.

　While holding out the sap in a wooden barrel.

''...... What's up with you all of a sudden?　I mean, why are you talking about me?

It's Mr. Jade, isn't it?　Loloa keeps talking about you like you're some kind of monster! He said: ......?

Loloa?

　It's a name that I don't remember at all.

　Sensing my confusion, the earth dragon king nodded his head.

It's the only daughter of the Black Dragon King. Don't you remember?

The Black Dragon King ......'s only daughter.

　I go back to my memory.

　Suddenly, I remember the incident in the Holy Republic.

'Come to think of it, there was one guy who was caught something.

　There was a great fuss about the king dragon's bloodline and so on, and a large army of dragons were rushing in.

　In the end, it didn't manage to turn into a big fight, but one wrong move and it would have been a catastrophe.

''That's it, that's it!　He's been talking about Mr. Jade a lot, and it's all over the dragon tribe.

...... Really? So you sap me?

　Perhaps it's an attempt to atone for the sin of the rampage.

　Or maybe it's an offering.

　The Dragon King nods in response to my question.

''Yes. I'd love to!

No, but I think this is for you.

I have sap that has seeped into the ground for me!

　The Earth Dragon King says healthily.

　I wonder if he sucks the ground. I can't help but imagine a very surreal figure.

I'll take it. I'm actually a bit curious.

Yeah, go ahead!

　Contrary to the appearance of the Earth Dragon King, there's not much sap in the wooden barrel. It would fill a few small bottles and that would be it.

　I look at the three party members and say.

''Alright, then let's take advantage of the Mito Dragon King's favor and share it between the four of us.

Hmm.

　Yui pulled out four bottles from somewhere.

　The entrance is narrow and the storage portion of the capacity is large. A flask. It's dexterously pinched between my fingers.

　Or rather, it's rare for Yui to reveal her emotions to this extent.

　It seems that he was good at cooking, and I wonder if he has an eye for ingredients and delicious things.

　I took the flask from Yui and drew the sap from the barrel.

　When I finish pumping, I give each of them a bottle of sap.

　The barrel is empty for just four people.

''Sorry!''

　I hear Rook's voice say.

　He was peeking at us while opening the chapter door.

''I'm about to lose the connection to the magic item of the transition, so please be early!

So I guess that's it. Well, you can enjoy the sap on your own, then.

　I suppose it could be used as a beverage, but it's pretty sludgy, so you can't even toast it all at once here.

'......!

''What the hell is ......?'' Phil makes a face as if to say, "I'm sorry.

　And Soria speaks for me.

'We could have gotten together for a party, but it's a shame ......

Well, there are times when we get together again. We'll have something else then.

Okay. I'll see you soon, for sure!

Yeah.

　This is the only way to go.

　Soria and the others walked into the guild branch.

　Suddenly, Yui comes back to us.

　Phil looks at Yui visibly.

''Yui, what's up?''

Forgot something. Go ahead.

It's not there. I checked. Come back in.

There is.

　And then they start arguing and go.

　What is it?　What do you mean?　Phil's tone sounds like he knows this is coming: ......

"I knew you would let me and Lady Thoria go ahead of you and stay in the village of Jade and the elves by yourselves!　What a lame excuse!

No, I'm not. Go ahead.

'Dah!　I just thought it was odd that he was going after Zid and he was going home with us first!　I won't let you stay behind!

　What a fight, these guys.

　Eventually, Phil dragged Yui inside the chapter.

　From the window outside I can see the girls heading to the royal capital.

　Finally, they wave to me.

'Bye.'

　He waved back to the girls with a voice that he didn't know if it would reach them.

　After a while, the girls disappeared, enveloped in light.

''Well, I'll go with you then.

　For some reason, I'll say no to the remaining Earth Dragon King.

''Oh, may I have one?''

　It's a lot more of a small thing than it was at first.

　It's as if they've gone from dragons to figurines.

"What is it?

''The Black Dragon King's daughter wants to see Mr. Jade, and I need you to set it up for her or something.

'Then ask me when we can meet. Then I'll make it happen for you.

Yes, sir!

　With a bishu, the Earth Dragon King salutes dexterously.

　The earth dragon king dives into the ground as if his business is done.

　It's quite a huge body, so every single one of them has a big impact on you. However, it seems that he is delicately careful or there is no damage. The place where he went under is as good as the original ground.

　I stepped on it, but it's also very firm. It's really handy.

It's just a matter of being a 'king'.

　Suddenly - I feel the presence of someone.

　I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what to expect.

What are you doing?

'Mr. Zied: ......!　No, I'm ......

　When he looks at me, he looks happy for a moment.

　But it quickly shades out.

'What's wrong?'

...... its. I'd like to make a request.

　Sille said with a serious look on his face.
