We Live In Dragon's Peak
/ We Live in Dragon's Peak Chapter 43.2
We have dinner in a dining room next to the inn . Afterwards, we hurry back . We decide to stay in my room until we go to sleep .
Priscillchan, as soon as she was full, fell asleep . Nymia, at the moment, is curled up next to her .
A smile crosses my face as I watch Priscillchan, “She really sleeps well . ”
“That’s because Long-Eared Tribe lives with nature . ”
Mistral tells me .
“They wake with the sun and sleep when it sinks . The human tribe and my people will light fires until nightfall while they won’t get up . ”
“Ehh, really? Then, back when we were invited to granny’s birthday, the banquet was held at noon because everyone would sleep in the evening?”
“That’s right . ”
At that time, I thought that having a banquet while the sun was still that high was really early . Then again, where I come from, the accepted practice is to go crazy after the sun goes down .
“My, my, well, well, have Ernekun and Mist gone to the village of the Long-Eared Tribe?”
“Ah, yeah . That’s also when we first met Priscillchan . ”
I tell Ruiseine about the time I was invited to the village of the Long-Eared Tribe . Naturally, I confirmed whether doing so was okay with Mistral . Apparently, we doen’t need to keep secrets from Ruiseine anymore .
AdvertisementRuiseine eyes shine as she listens to my tale .
“What an enviable experience . I also want to go there someday . ”
“Un, hopefully we can go together next time . ”
That is only possible with permission from the Long-Eared Tribe . I can’t just promise her she can go without any consideration .
“That’s right, I will introduce you to the venerable elder next time . ”
Instead, Mistral promises to take her to the moss-covered plaza .
“My, my, well, well, I’ll look forward to it then . Is he the Grandfather-sama whom safeguards the Dragon Forest? Although meeting him might be scary, I certainly want to greet him even just once . ”
Even though she seriously considers dragons to be terrifying existences, she must have already heard a bit from Mistral . Hence, Ruiseine can cheerfully say such .
I initially thought that Ruiseine was an honest, innocent, and reserved shrine maiden, but I was wrong . Err, not about the honest and innocent part though . What I mean is, Ruiseine is an unexpectedly assertive girl . She actively comes forward to talk to me, a foolish child, at school . She also shows interest in a lot of things . The gap between image and character might just be Ruiseine’s charm point .
Ruiseine asks Mistral about many other things . Mostly about me and tales Dragon Forest, though .
She is very surprised to hear that my wooden sword is actually a tree spirit and that it is very valuable . I then lend the wooden sword to her and she places it upon her lap . From there, she intently stares at it .
“I always thought it had a very strange presence . Turns out it is because it is a transformed sacred tree that is known as a spirit tree . ”
“The reason you can feel it is because you have dragon eyes . ”
“Is that so?”
Dragon eyes are amazing . They allow beings like Ruiseine who have no knowledge about dragon spirit or the dragon vein to unconsciously be affected by them .
“By the way, what did you talk about with Ruiseine yesterday?”
It seemed like they had fun in the bath . I’m curious about what they talked about .
“Fufufu, it’s girls’ secret . ”
Ruiseine smiles as she returns the wooden sword to me . Mistral, also, just laughs without telling me anything .
Mumumu, not telling me only makes me more curious . T-there’s no way they’re saying things behind my back, right?
“Last night would have been quite fun if Ernekun hadn’t gotten swallowed up by a strange affair . ”
“Awawawa, don’t say it like that . ”
“But thanks to that, we were able to nip a problem between dragon tribesmen and human tribe before it arose . ”
“Un, that’s the only blessing from that misfortune . Ah, by the way . ”
I suddenly remember a thing .
“The sword that demon was holding was a magic sword, right? What happened to it?”
It is magic sword that resembles the holy sword . We were deceived by it and the fake Ristia .
“Ludriad-san mentioned that he was going to take it back, so I sealed it with a purification and handed it to him . ”
“When did you do such a thing?”
“Fufufu, secret . ”
I see, so that magical sword has been recovered . Maybe it’ll get reported to the higher ups? After all, it’s not just a magical sword . It’s such a great replica of the holy sword that I couldn’t even tell it was a fake .
This happened before, last time with those magical swords with the dragon slaying attribute . Looks like there are people secretly making magical sword in the Armard Kingdom, how scary .
“Even though that demon told us he was guided into this country by dragon tribesmen, is that really true?”
I wonder if Mistral even wants to talk about that topic and immediately close my mouth .
“Thank you for taking my feelings into consideration . ”
Mistral smiles gently at me, seeming to sense what I am feeling .
“No, sorry . It’s not that enjoyable of a topic . ”
“No, but it is quite important, regardless . ”
Mistral shakes her head .
“May we switch to a somewhat more serious talk?”
Mistral asks that towards Ruiseine and me .
“Yes, I do not mind . ”
“Un, I’m also fine with that . ”
Ruiseine hands me some water and I drink it .
“Then, I think we should talk a bit about the relationship between the dragon tribesmen and demons first . ”
And so, Mistral slowly begins to speak .
