Iss leaned against the window and listened to Ed babble apologizing to the elf—he was always apologizing, even if it wasn't his fault, and he couldn't help but wonder what had happened in Ed's life before he was fifteen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

...... But he wouldn't ask. When will that guy come and tell him?

The untrusted shadow dancer has an unusual persistence. Not only did he find Aaron Mansini's hiding place, but he also squatted around for a long time to make sure he was not mistaken, and thus found that Mancini had gone to see a very hot-tempered lady with a light veil and a very short temper to-night, and the obnoxious fat man had been slapped firmly, and he did not dare to do anything to the noblewoman.

But their dispute has nothing to do with Ankland...... It's about the little king who is about to return.

The Shadow Dancer followed the noblewoman and watched her enter Lockburg. And he was not the only one who followed her.

Ed seemed to know who the noble lady was. Isis could tell from the subtle change in his tone.

The human world is really troublesome, he thought.

Too many different desires are entwined, and the patterns woven are mottled and complex, and no one can solve them. In contrast, dragons' wishes are much simpler - they just want to take back the world that belongs to them and live as freely as before.

If he hadn't been born at the wrong time, in the wrong way, he would probably have been willing to help Blazing Wing.

...... So, what about the hidden dragon?

He wasn't stupid enough to believe every word of the dragon. Dragons don't lie...... But the traps in words are always unguardable, and the Hidden Dragon is good at this.

He closed his eyes, fell asleep unconsciously, and woke up from a tumultuous dream.

At some point, a pillow was stuffed crookedly under his neck, and he frowned and pulled it out to look at it, a little annoyed. Even in a place where he can feel at ease, a dragon should not lose his guard completely......

Then he slapped the pillow and stuffed it back in.

Upstairs there is his room...... But that's too far from the door.

He woke up again at dawn, listening to the familiar sound of footsteps tapping gently against the old wooden floor...... Then stopped.

“...... Where have you been?"

He opened his eyes and asked Scott.

"Walked around the city. Scott replied.

His voice was as calm as his face—calm, but dead.

Isz would rather watch his eyes turn golden in anger than the way he looks...... Even if it is necessary.

Without enthusiasm, Scott may not be Scot anymore.

"Lydia," he asked, "is she telling the truth?"

Scott shook his head.

“...... Then why are you going to walk away?"

"Because if I were here, there are things she probably wouldn't say. ”

"Even if you're not there, she doesn't say anything useful. Ise snorted and threw the half-cut greatsword on the table.

"You know what it is. He said.

“...... Yes. ”

"Did you know that this thing is hidden in the labyrinth beneath Castle Christis?"

"This ......," Scott smiled wryly, "I really don't know." ”

He walked over to the table and looked down, but didn't touch.

"There's a gem missing. He said, gesturing to the end of the hilt, "It's drawn from Kama's body, the power of the gods." Without that, the sword wouldn't be of much use. ”

Isis pouted unconsciously—the cunning old hidden dragon didn't even mention any gems.

"Blazing Wing asked you to find this sword to deal with Ankran?" he asked bluntly.

Scott was stunned.

“...... You really 'know everything'. He sighed, "No, Ankeland is nothing more than a revenant. The sword was sought for...... Just in case. ”

Iss frowned: "What in case?"

He suddenly remembered the white leopard next to Scott, and it instantly dawned on him - he knew who liked to be like that.

The gods may have left this world...... But that doesn't mean it's completely out of protection.

The ghost lingered - he couldn't help but scold, and once again annoyed by his awkward position.

"Isn't it worried that you'll use this sword against it in turn?" he asked.

"If I try to do this, the moment I raise my sword, my life and soul will cease to exist. Scott smiled wearily, "If this can't even be guaranteed, how could it tell me so much." ”

“...... So you can't resist it?" Ise began to feel uneasy - unlike what Ed had told him.

"Yes. Scott calmly replied, "I can't." ”

"But...... But ......," Iss muttered, a mess in his head.

"You've always wanted to know everything, so here's it......" Scott slowly sat down at the table, "It's 'all' that even Ed didn't tell me...... Although he will know one day. I used to tell myself that there was nothing wrong with that, that the world still needs gods after all, as Sean insisted...... And Nesses ...... The dragon, who had assured me, had no interest in turning this world into a sea of fire, after all, this is also where it was born, and it was even willing to protect it, like a true god. It was you who reminded me, Is, that the 'protection' in the mouth of a dragon may not be what I had hoped for. I tried to resist it, but that only proved my mistake again, and ...... I made a bet with it. ”

Iss looked at him blankly at the unexpected development.

"I will do everything I want it to do, as I promised, but it cannot harm anyone around me, no matter what they will do—even if they do everything they can to stop it, and they want to destroy it in every possible way...... It's just that if that happens, I have to fight for it until I die. ”

“...... What does it get? What do you get?" Ise exasperated, "What a hell is this!"

"It proves that it is strong, and I can prove it...... My hope. Scott replied in a low voice, "yes, I don't have any strong chips at all, I'm betting on its pride." It was sure that this time it had a plan in its hands and that no one could stop it, not even Ankland, which it didn't really look out for...... And I can only believe that Ed can defeat it, even if he has to fight against me - that's why I can't tell you, Is, because you can't. If you know that you can keep the people you care about safe and sound by just standing by and watching, you don't care what the world will become, and you won't turn yourself into the enemy of your former kind. You'll even stop Ed's success if that leads to my death...... Isn't it?"
