I-, I wonder I dont think he said something like that?

I dont ever recall you ask me to cooperate! You challenged me, beat me down, tied me up, then cut off my tail all at your own convenience, like the robber you are.

Dont make me sound so evil!

That being said, Inglis couldnt deny it, she had given up any prospect of negotiation from the beginning, believing that there was no way Vufailbane would be willing to cooperate in such a request.

EhD-, did I just hear something?!

Lahti exclaimed.

What did you mean?

No, something like, something about not ever askingis this, the dragons voice?! You didnt hear this?!

Lahti answered Rafinhas question.

I didnt hear anything, you know?

Wh-, why only me? Inglis, you can hear it, right?

Y-, yeah I didnt think you can hear it too, Lahti

This was unexpected, but there was no doubt. Lahti had acquired the Dragon Roar by eating Vufailbanes flesh too. It would have been possible to hear the voice of Vufailbane without the Dragon Roar. Or, if Vufailbane had made adjustments so that other humans would be able to hear his voice too, but then Rafinha should be able to hear it as well.

Inglis had no idea if Lahtis power would be as strong as hers, showing the same level of strength as Vufailbane, or not. However, Lahti ate at the same rate any ordinary person would, unlike Inglis or Rafinha, and yet he showed a glimpse of Dragon Roar. It seemed like he was compatible with it. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that he was a Runeless? One couldnt say for sure with just a single example.

Hey, Lahti, what did the dragon say?

Again, he said that all Inglis did was knock him down, tie him up, and cut his tail, and she never asked him to cooperate!

GLIS~? Dont tell me that Mr. Dragon is actually a good person, and you just force him to fight you even though he didnt want to?

Nononono, I didnt do that, Rani! He was trying to eat me, you know? So

As a matter of fact, you are right. That girl forced me even though I didnt want any of this

Mn?! The dragon said she forced me even though I didnt want to.

Come on! Glis! Why did you lie like that?! Its bad, you know!

Yoink! She pulled her ears tightly.

Ouch ouch ouch! Thats not true! He is the one whos lying!

Eeeh?!

I misjudged you! I never thought a Dragon God would tell such a lowly lie!

Hmph. Take it with a grain of salt. After all youve done to me, this much should be passable.

Is not! You will have to pay me back by fighting me with all your strength!

How many times do I have to say it? I will not fight you.

Muu! You stubborn old

Beside the two, Lahti was interpreting the conversation to Rafinha.

Apparently, as Inglis said, it was the dragon who was lying. And now he refuses to fight, after all.

I-, I see Now, now, Glis. Why dont you stop the bickering? We can get the tail either way, right? So why dont we just thank Mr. Dragon and go back? Who knows, maybe this can be the start of a new relationship!

No, Dragon Gods arent something we can get along so easily!

You jest, little girl I would have eaten you alive if you had nobody by your side.

Dont ever forget my warning. Lahti, you dont say that one just now.

O-, okay

Hmph

At any rate, I guess Ill just have to give up for today and cut off his tail like Rafinha said.

Then, I will take up your offer and see you as nothing more than

As Inglis was about to finish her words, she saw the figure of someone flying in the air. The pure white wings that sprouted from that figures back were the result of a Gift of an Artifact.

Please hold on! Mr. Lahti, there is an emergency! Please return to the encampment now!

It was Liselotte. She looked quite flustered and out of breath. She was very desperate, flying at her full speed. It didnt seem to be anything ordinary.

Mn?! What happened?!

The residents who have been immigrating are causing a commotion! Mr. Luwin and the other Knights are trying to calm them down, but they are pretty enraged! I believe its best to have you talk them out, Mr. Lahti!

Eeehh?! G-, got it, Ill be there! But, why would they?!

Im really sorry to say, but its regarding Ms. Pullum They still havent forgotten about her older brother, Mr. Hallim, so when they learned his relative is here, they!

! They want to chase her out?!

I-, if only that was all they asked

Liselottes words were all mumbled.

They want to capture Pullum and execute her, is it?

! Y-yes, exactly

Liselotte nodded painfully. However, this was not unthinkable. People had been gathering at the encampment recently one after another from the surrounding area. It was no longer just a base of operations for Inglis troops and Luwins Knights and the other survivors. The process of transforming the encampment into the new Lekrea town was about to begin.

Some of the people gathered were originally survivors of Lekrea, while others might have lived in other towns but had lost their homes and possessions due to Tiffanys actions and had nowhere else to return. Everyone had their own circumstances, but what they all had in common was that they had seen firsthand what Tiffany, and by extension, Hallim, one of her henchmen, had done to their livelihood.

Tiffany was still a Hyrule Menace who came from the Highland, but Hallim was originally from a prominent noble family in this country. It was inevitable that his acts could be regarded as an act of rebellion and treason against the country. In such a case, it was not uncommon for his family members to be held responsible for his crime. It was not surprising that a family member would be directly affected.

The fact that people were flocking here was a sign of Lahtis growing fame. However, that also meant that many people would see Pullum here. Pullum had been trying to avoid showing her face too much in public in consideration of the people, but that seemed to fail.

Fuck! Why so suddenly?!

Thats cruel! We have to stop them!

Its something we have to face eventually. Lahti, stay calm.

Y-, yeah! I know that!

And theres more The one who leads the uproar is Mr. Ian!

Wha?! Ian?!

Ian?!

! Why would he?

Ian had kidnapped Pullum and taken her to Hallim, and now he showed up and made a scene! Even Inglis couldnt immediately understand the reasons behind his actions.

Either way, hurry up! We need to get back to the encampment quick!

Liselotte was right.Inglis once again tied Vufailbane and decided to return to the encampment immediately with the rest.
