A second warning came in from Emedra who flew while making sure to stay close to Rubydra .

Your bad premonition coming true, isnt that because you somehow jinxed it?! (Renya)

Renya spits out such words while clicking his tongue, but that doesnt serve any purpose in regards to whats happening .

Theres no way that they can go back at this point . And, even if they could do so, they wouldnt get anywhere .

I will ask just for cautions sake, but will your intervention dramatically change the situation, Rubydra, Emedra? (Renya)

Having the naive hope that they could charge in with two dragons and slaughter the enemies easily crushed, Renya calls out to Emedra,

Emedra, give me a ride on your back . In exchange, the members over there will swap to Rubydras back . We will go ahead together! (Renya)

(Rubydra)

Being called to a halt with a strangely stabbing thought, Renya falters and Emedra looks somewhat surprised .

While Renya indulges in the completely out-of-place thought that even dragons have a surprised expression, Rubydra rebukes him .

(Rubydra)

(Emedra)

While harboring the really rude thought,at least it doesnt look like shes lacking insensitivity,Renya looks at Kurz whos behind him .

Kurz, who caressed the two priestesses to calm them down as they seemed somewhat scared, matched his gaze with Renyas once he noticed that Renya was looking his way .

Kurz! Can you carry those two priestesses, Rona and Shion onto Emedras back? (Renya)

No problem, Margrave-sama . (Kurz)

Renya warns Kurz, who had suddenly raised his middle finger while keeping his voice low .

Kurz, thats the wrong finger (Renya)

Renya realizes after cautioning him .

That the middle finger might be the correct one since hes in a different world .

Huh? Was it the pinky finger then? (Kurz)

Its the thumb . The thumb, Kurz! (Shion)

In a hurry Shion corrects Kurz who tensely raised his pinky finger .

Although it might be called a different world, I guess gestures like this are still the same, huh?Renya feels relieved .

By the way, I have no intention to swap, Renya! (Shion)

Honestly said, youll be a nuisance, okay? (Renya)

Even then! (Shion)

Renya quickly gives up on persuading Shion who stubbornly insists on not pulling back .

Somehow he felt like he heard a sound similar to tongue clicking in the corner of his mind, but he ignored it, thinking it was his imagination, and gave Kurz his instructions .

Kurz! Take the other members along on Emedras back! Once you get there, tell Lepard and Grn to follow from behind since Im going ahead . (Renya)

As you wish, Margrave-sama . (Kurz)

Two strings of black mist gushed out from Kurz back as he carried the two priestesses under his arms .

One of those obviously ominous strings instantly coils itself around Ronas waist, who was taken aback, and lifts her body up with a sudden jerk . The other one smoothly stretches out and coils itself around Emedras foot .

Without minding Emedra putting on a very reluctant face, Kurz waves at Renya while grinning, jumps into the air while manipulating the black mist, and easily lands on Emedras back .

One second later Rona lands, or rather, drops on Emedras back .

Those are really handy . I wonder whether Ill ever be able to use them as well, if I train it? (Renya)

Renya, I think it would be better if you dont make such careless remarks (Shion)

Shion didnt know the true identity of the mist, but she somehow intuitively perceived that its nothing too good .

That statement stemmed from her not wanting to touch something like that, if possible, but apparently Renya didnt grasp that part .

Those are no good? (Renya)

No, well, if you talk about convenience, they sure are, but not wanting to use them much is (Shion)

(Rubydra)

(Emedra)

A dragon asking a human to follow up on a dragon is normally an abnormal thought .

Renya, who has difficulty telling Emedra to leave it to him, limits his response to an ambiguous smile . Rubydra threatens Emedra by baring her fangs .

(Rubydra)

You heard her, butwell, I will at least do my best so that she doesnt get injured . (Renya)

(Emedra)

Being told that by Emedra, Renya and Rubydra look at each other for an instant .

Going ahead means exterminating everything in the path, right? (Renya)

(Rubydra)

Got it . Do whatever you want as long as you dont die . > (Emedra)

Without even noticing that Emedras words were completely filled with the feeling of giving up as it would be probably be pointless even if she did say anything more, Renya fixes his sitting posture on Rubydras back, and Shion clings to Renyas back .

(Rubydra)

Oi, the riders protection (Renya)

In order for no accidents to occur regardless of how fast the dragon is going, they protect their riders so that they dont get thrown off .

Renya was about to mention that to Rubydra, who gave such a warning despite all this, but Rubydras next words easily denied that .

(Rubydra)

Is that fine? Something like thatwhaa!? (Renya)

Renyas voice turned high-pitched and unstrung due to an impact as if being kicked in the back .

While hurriedly propping up Shion who clings to him, Renya realizes that its thanks to Rubydras sudden acceleration, and lightly hits her nape .

(Rubydra)

You really let go of the protection, didnt you!? (Renya)

(Rubydra)

Idiot, were going to die! (Renya)

Since it likely wouldnt end nicely for Renya and Shion, if Rubydra had really distributed her power in such way, it was likely a Rubydrstyled joke, but it didnt seem like a mistake that the current state was fairly close to that power distribution .

Otherwise there would be no way for a rider to suffer an impact due to the dragons acceleration .

At least Renya never felt such an impact when he was riding on Emedras back .

The upper limit of mana a dragon can save is fixed .

They raise their defense power or their speed by dividing it, but its only natural that one component will weaken if they invest a lot of power in the other .

It might be an understandable reason, but for Renya and Shion, who are actually riding on her back, its unendurable .

Natural you say (Renya)

Once Renya looks back over his shoulder while complaining, he saw for just an instant Emedras figure, which had become extremely small, through the gaps of Shions hair, which was teasing him due to the wind although only a bit, as she stuck to his back with her eyes tightly closed to endure the wind pressure .

It was obvious that Emedras speed had lost a bit of momentum because of the increased number of passengers, but her figure became as small as an ant in the blink of an eye and completely vanished from his line of sight .

Just how fast are you? (Renya)

(Rubydra)

Renya feels like he had somewhere heard that expression before, but he cant remember at all where .

(Rubydra)

Haa, is that so? Thats all I can say, you know? (Renya)

(Rubydra)

Renya tries to turn his eyes in the flight direction after being told so by Rubydra, but immediately averts them due to the wind pressure assailing him .

Although Rubydra said that they are protected somewhat, considerable wind pressure assails Renya and Shion . Shion has already completely given up on looking at the surroundings . She only kept desperately clinging to Renya with her eyes shut .

Ease up on the speed a bit! Or strengthen the protection! At this rate I cant look forward . (Renya)

(Rubydra)

By no means did I expect to be confronted with an appeal to use my guts by a dragon, butcan you send some mana to the protection if you have plenty of it? (Renya)

(Rubydra)

Renya slapped the neck of Rubydra, who talked as if telling him Are you an idiot?, and yelled,

Then connect a path to me so that I can supply you with mana! (Renya)

Be quiet and do it! If you dont hurry upI will lop off your head and manage your corpse through . Wait, doing that would actually make the flight safe, wouldnt it? (Renya)

Since a corpse has no life, its treated as an item and thus enters the range of the Manipulation spell .

Given that a dragons body has a shape catered towards flying to begin with, it would be possible to have it fly quite stably if a driving force is added to it through the Manipulation spell .

Underneath Renya, who suddenly muttered such a thing as if having hit upon an ingenious idea, Rubydras body trembled with a start while skillfully keeping up its flight speed .

She timidly looks back at Renya with a gaze thats colored with fear .

Its not like I said Im actually going to do it . If you dont want me to resort to this, then connect to me with a pathway . (Renya)

(Rubydra)

On the surface she acted as if being reluctant, saying she had no other choice .

In reality Rubydra excitedly wondered whether she could endure having her head lopped off as she connected a path to Renya .

It felt similar to the times when Renya kept up a path to supply Frau with .

Currently Renya isnt providing Frau any mana due to the distance problem .

As if taking advantage of it, Renya begins to pour the mana, which just kept accumulating ever since, into the path connected by Rubydra .

(Rubydra)

Stop asking questions . If you have the time for that, then reinforce the protection! (Renya)

In response to Renyas request, the wind pressure that didnt allow him to open his eyes stopped at once .

The noisy whistling and wailing of the wind close to his ears ceased .

The abrupt change caused a break in Renyas thinking, but due to the scenery in the direction of their flight path, which he finally became able to see, he quickly pulled his consciousness back into reality .

He saw slightly open plains and a fortress city erected at the border of some rocky mountains .

In the sky above the city that was surrounded by high walls, quite a number of dragon-like figures can be seen flying . Countless lines of smokes are rising from the city itself .

Renya didnt know about the state of the wall as they were still too far away, but he could see countless small figures clinging and sticking to it, and some of them have already finished climbing over it .

And, the citys vicinity is completely surrounded by a pitch black cluster .

Theyre under attack

Moreover, it looks like they are at a serious disadvantage

(Rubydra)

Rubydra quickly surveyed the situation in the surroundings while slowing down slightly, probably because she got close to the city .

It appears that the dragonoids are in an overwhelmingly inferior position in regards to the ground war .

In addition to the exceeding difference in combat forces on the ground, the evil dragons also have complete control over the air .

The reason why they gained the air superiority immediately plopped into Rubydras eyes .

(Rubydra)

Although you might say that they were still young in regards to their age, they should have been fairly vigorous and enthusiastic dragons with skill .

However, those dragons had been cruelly torn apart, and tragically died on the plains or in sections of the burned city .

With a slight delay Renya noticed it as well, but he didnt voice out what came to his mind .

He considered those words to be too lacking in consideration of the situation .

As if in exchange for that, Shion whispers into Renya ear,

Thats me (Shion)

Shion, I thought so too, but right now is not a good time to speak about that . (Renya)

(Rubydra)

Nows not the time to discuss this . (Renya)

Renya states clearly, but him not denying it makes it obvious that she actually hit the nail on the head .

Even Shion realizes anew that what shes currently riding is a dragon and pretends to not know anything by burying her face in Renyas back in a hurry .

(Rubydra)

Rubydra gave them a warning, but somehow she couldnt suppress the premonition that one or two bodies will have gone missing before she has even realized it .
