Chapter 128 – Ep.8 – Burning Lemune
***
The closer they got to Lemün’s fever, the louder the wails of the dwarves grew.
There were countless dwarves living in Lemün, where a large commercial city developed because it was in contact with the human realm.
That means,
It was like saying that so many dwarves poured out of the burning city and fled from the disaster.
Literally, there were tears everywhere.
“Ugh, my God…”
Delrin, who was walking while watching the cries of the dwarves similar to or smaller than Eva, felt as if they were the cries of a child, so she couldn’t take her steps away easily.
Even so, they were not much taller than him, but Delrin became more sensitive to their tragedies.
I’ve never really liked children, and I’ve never cared for them particularly.
Ever since he came to this world, he keeps looking at those who look young.
Those eyes turned to the dwarves in the tragedy,
Delrin’s heart is also getting uncomfortable,
The instinctive sympathy doesn’t stop even when it gnaws at itself.
“Look over there.”
Chichi raised her staff and pointed at the castle gate.
It was neatly cut as if it had been cut out with a knife, but it no longer serves as a castle gate and is split in two.
If there’s one thing that’s a little odd.
Could it be that the cut surface is frozen?
“Did you do that shit with your claws?”
Riko looked at the bizarrely far-sighted cut and uttered a puzzled expression, and Kaede answered that question.
“It’s not a claw. That’s a sword.”
“A bastard that crawls on all fours can also use a sword?”
“There will be more time to fly.”
“That’s right. Each one creates a sword with their own strength, and the one who wields it is a dragon.”
Kaede passes information to her party in an unusual voice.
She has encountered dragons before.
“…The dragon is different. The dwarf’s body is stronger than usual, but I’m not sure if I can defeat the dragon with this body.”
“Have you ever met a dragon?”
Kaede looks behind her and stares at Helen. Her eyes are full of seriousness.
“I’ve met you. I never wanted to see you again, but I never thought I’d see you again here.”
Inside the burning Lemune, heat and cold were swirling at the same time.
A huge fire started from a nearby furnace and burned down the dwarves’ houses and mountains.
Ice that could not be quenched even by the heat of the furnace bloomed in the place where the dragon had been cut out.
“I have to put out the fire first.”
The little dwarves brought buckets of water larger than their body size and poured them over the fire, but that amount of water was not enough to extinguish the fire.
“It will rain soon.”
Chi-Chi raised his wand and started painting the sky.
The painting of the witch who captures her whole sky as drawing paper was wonderful.
Her magic was always beautiful.
“Kyo, kyo… Professor! You said before that you shouldn’t use magic because you don’t want to get caught!”
“Sometimes you have to take risks, Miss Eva.”
Soon, rain fell from the sky.
The rain, thicker and denser than the tears of dwarves,
It poured down to cool down the entire Lemün…
A little water only made the hot fire burn more,
Chichi’s rain poured down like a downpour, quelling even the blazing fire.
The dwarves who shed tears raised their heads in the rain that cried on their behalf.
As the fire in Lemün, which had been burning deeply, gradually faded, they began to return to Lemünne one by one.
——————————-
“Thank you thank you…”
Belial is the name of the dwarf who constantly expresses gratitude while receiving Helen’s treatment.
She is the lord of Lemün, and a noble who oversees the dwarves here.
“Tsk. I don’t need to save it.”
“It is God’s will to save the wounded.”
Those injured by fire, those who were crushed by buildings.
Helen, who heals everyone, deserves the title of a saint, but her actions are frustrating and stupid to Rico.
“Those bastards, the bastards who set up an army to kill us. Do you want to save them?”
“Because human suffering is equal before disaster.”
However, since there is no obligation to volunteer, Chichi also agrees with Rico and demands payment from Belial.
“All the lights have been turned off, and all injuries have been treated, so we have to listen to what we want. Like that one-eyed human said, you guys tried to kill us, but we were rather gracious.”
Kaededo, Nevado, Helendo,
Chi-Chi’s behavior of getting a reward commensurate with the help is not stopped.
The world is like that.
If you do something, you should get paid for it.
“Everything, of course. Anything. Anything…”
Frowning from her pain, Belial struggled to get up and nodded at her.
“First, let me ask you a question. Did the Queen of Albator order her troops to be stationed there?”
“That’s right, that’s right…”
The women look at each other.
The queens are predicting their path.
I don’t know if they figured out that they were going to cross over to the Demon Continent, but if they noticed that they were going down south, they would probably be pursued until they crossed all of the elven territory.
“It’s a big deal. Maybe it’s good…”
“It just annoys me a little. No matter how tenacious we play, we win enough.”
“Well. I guess I’ll keep fucking around until I destroy the whole kingdom.”
Just because there is a chase, you can’t walk around while evading them one by one.
Not much time for all of them.
According to the twins, once every 10 years, for exactly 15 days, the [Great whale Job] Visits.
If you miss that opportunity, God’s garden and everything is over. Because of the terrifying dispatch interval where they have to wait 10 years if they miss it once, they only have one chance.
Crossing the continent of Euratisha, which would normally have taken three months, took about five weeks as a rough estimate because it was being done at a fairly fast pace by utilizing Chichi’s magic, etc.
Job is coming back in 4 weeks from now.
After Job arrived at the end of the earth, he said he would stay for exactly three days before leaving.
If they keep going like this, they will arrive at least 4 days after Job left.
“Oh, no… !
Even if you make a guess, the time is not right.
Even Delrin’s stupid brain could easily figure out that time was running out.
“I don’t have time for this! Dragons and everything, I fixed everything for now, so let’s go again quickly!”
Delrin rushes the ladies as her mind becomes impatient. It’s a mess because there’s not enough time, but you’re relentlessly chasing after them, and then you get caught up in things like dragons and all!
“Since we helped, please block the troops the queen sends… ! All you have to do is hold out for as long as possible!”
All the other women nodded at Delrin’s words and began to pack their belongings.
However, Belial, the leader of Lemün, clung to their legs, and soon began to weep and weep.
“Heh, heheeng… Wait a minute! Wait!”
It’s an ugly figure to be called the head of a city of hers, but she doesn’t seem to care about that for the sake of her own people.
“Yo, warriors! Please save our Lemün. Please, please!”
“What is a warrior? Why do you think that if everyone praises you as a warrior, you will walk out? I don’t understand.”
Rico coldly shakes off Belial and turns around. Although Belial hastily clings to other women as well, begging for her mercy.
“There is no time for that.”
“I want to help, but the dragon can’t help us either. Everyone evacuate first and wait until we have a proper expedition.”
“That’s how it happened. I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.”
As a human being, when you are busy with your own work, even the consideration you give to others disappears.
The women leave coldly, behind them Delrin hesitates for a moment, and then she follows them on the road together.
I want to help but I can’t afford to help.
If I lose sight of that flying whale or something like this, there will be no answer.
“I’m sorry. Fighting everyone… “
“Heeeng, black… It’s okay, it’s okay… Oh, maybe we’ll be happy now… “
The dwarves, who looked like middle school students at most, gathered around the crying Belial and shed tears together.
The new Guinea Delrin breaks her heart again, but she still has no choice but to follow the other women.
I’m so sorry and unfortunate, but I still can’t afford to help people who are strangers, and women who have troops stationed to attack them…
“What should I do now, Mr. Belial… ? In a few days, it will fly again and make a mess… “
“Ahhhhh… “
“Oh, it’s okay, don’t worry! Black, ugh… “
… Does not exist.
I really can’t help it.
Others will come to the rescue. It was because I saved Arwen or she had no one to save her, and this is a different case. Other adventurers or the army will surely help…
“A boy with the magic of a god, where do you find such a boy and how do you offer him… I don’t have many boys either… “
“It’s clear he’s just trying to trick us… ! We are releasing our grudge against our ancestors!”
… Everyone’s footsteps stop abruptly.
Delrin was the cause of the burning city, which I thought was someone else’s tragedy, so it didn’t stop because of that.
“Under… “
The huge mana felt from above,
It stops due to clear insight into what the master of that mana wants.
“First, load it. Seriously, fuck… “
“It seems to have been caught in the wrong place… “
