Act 4: Chapter 12: Peach Dragon Vige''s Story
The next day, I went to the bar along with Ramiel, I decided to hear more about the 《Ruler of The Sky》 from Ramiel.
Me, Pomera, Philia, Ramiel, andstly Rosemonde, the five of us were sitting around the table.
「Though I heard about the dragonfolk, this is the first time I saw the real one. But…」
Rosemonde heaved a deep sigh before she finished her remark.
She was looking at Ramiel who eating the chicken thigh with delight.
Her lips were soiled by the sauce of the chicken.
「The human''s food is surprisingly delicious!! I thought they were eating something more crude!」
「… She''s an airheaded shitty brat. I thought they were sacred existence who werepletely devoted themselves to martial arts training to hone their body and mind, living quietly in their ce while looking after the human and monster.」
Said Rosemonde while squinting her eyes, and looking at Ramiel.
「The meal for dragonfolk isn''t that delicious. It is just roasted meat with some spice and salt, or mixed in other foodstuff which is cut inrge sizes. And yet, just from the taste alone, I know that humans take good care and long process in making this food alone!! It''s delicious food!!」
Ramiel seems to be pleased with the food in this city.
「A human once said that the development of civilization is deeply connected with desire seems to be correct! We dragonfolk is living in harmony with this world, and since we''re alwayspeting with each other to be stronger, we''re always practical when ites to our desire, thus our desire to develop civilization has been impended!」
「Is that… Praise for us? Your people seem to have quite a bit of a problem though.」
Rosemonde''s eyebrows were twitching, it seemed she took offense at Ramiel''s statement.
「S-Sorry… I-I just feel that it must be nice to be born in such a race with so much leeway. Since we, the dragonfolk has longer lifespan than human, our greed for physical matter is weaker as a result.」
Though Ramiel bowed her head, she didn''t sound like a timid person at all.
「… She''s such a brave girl. And Kanata-san, does she really have some intel about the 《Ruler of The Sky》?」
Pomera asked me with an anxious look on her face.
「Y-Yeah. I heard the gist of the situation from her just yesterday but, I think that you have to hear the situation directly from Ramiel-san too.」
She didn''t seem to be an impolite girl when I spoke to her yesterday but, it seems her manner was gone before the delicious food.
Ramiel''s mind might be rxed a bit due to the ted feeling before the delicious food.
In fact, since the dragonfolk had longer lifespans and stronger powers than humans, most of them were born with some sort of mission.
Ramiel chewed on the bone of the chicken thigh and then turned at Pomera with a serious look on her face.
「The dragon has a mission to protect this world. But since they often got misunderstood, they shed with humans so many times in the past, a useless conflict that could be avoided. Thus they devise a n to prevent such useless conflict from happening again in the future, They mate with the humans which results in the birth of dragonfolk.」
「I see… So that''s the origin of dragonfolk.」
Pomera nodded.
「The reason for the creation of Peach Dragon Vige, the ce where Ie from is to protect the dragon hole. Dragon hole is the ce where the magical power of the earth vein is gathered together, something like a hole filled with magical power, or tear of the world. It''s something like an internal organ for humans.
The crystallized magical power, or nt that needs a lot of magical power can be found around that dragon hole. That''s why if something happens to this ce, it will be a huge disaster for the world itself, causing the trees to wither. Normally, it''s the duty of the dragon to protect such ces but, since the human already formed their kingdom around that time, they appointed us, the dragonfolk to guard the ce instead. It''s been a thousand years since then.」
Pomera revealed a curious expression, albeit she seems to have some doubts in her heart.
She might be thinking about how that matter above is connected to the 《Ruler of The Sky》.
「… The truth is, the 《Ruler of The Sky》 just arrived in the peach dragon vige sometime ago. The 《Ruler of The Sky》 is aiming for the dragon hole protected by us. It seems they nned to capture the peach dragon vige in secret, they''re nning to gather supporter and take over the vige while hiding their identity. I who happened to know about that matter got falsely used by the 《Ruler of The Sky》, and forced to escape from the peach dragon vige.」
That might be the reason why Ramiel knew that the 《Ruler of The Sky》 sent the twin prison dragon to attack the human settlement.
Originally, the 《Ruler of The Sky》 broke the taboo of the dragon to gain power, thus they''re called as the evil dragon.
The moment the peach dragon vige got captured, the magical power inside the dragon hole would be used non-stop without even caring about the fate of the world.
As dragonfolk whose duty was to protect the dragon hole, they had to prevent such tragedy at all costs.
But, it was impossible for Ramiel to do this by herself.

I confirmed her level yesterday s, Ramiel''s level was by no means high.
「Ramiel-san has her own circumstances huh…」
Pomera looked at Ramiel as if giving thetter her sympathy.
Ramiel''s eyebrows loosened and then bowed to us.
「Ramiel-san?」
When I called her, Ramiel looked at me with an upturned gaze.
「Though I haven''t done this yesterday… I will use this chance to beseech you! Kanata-san, will you go to the peach dragon vige and report about this matter to the Dragon King? I knew that Kanata-san and co who could dispatch the twin prison dragons had the qualification to meet the Dragon King and foil the n of the 《Ruler of The Sky》!」
「Please raise your head.」
「Please! Honestly speaking, we shouldn''t involve humans in this matter but… It will be toote if I don''t do something about this situation! I don''t care even if dragonfolk like me have to bow to the human!」
… From the way Ramiel spoke, the dragonfolk seems to be an extremely prideful creature.
I touched my chin, pondering for a while.
Either way, the 《Ruler of The Sky》 would appear before us sooner orter.
So rather than running around the human realm without any information about them, maybe we should take the initiative and go to the peach dragon vige which had already been infiltrated by the 《Ruler of The Sky》.
「I have nothing to give you for this request but… Peach Dragon Vige is a really beautiful ce!! The entrance of the peach dragon vige is hidden and only the human who received the information about the entrance from the dragonfolk knows about it!」
「A beautiful ce huh…」
Well, I guess we could take this as a little sightseeing along the way…
「Moreover, as long as you have the ability to meet the Dragon King-sama, Dragon King-sama will bestow you a priceless item as a testament to your ability! Something like te which describes the high-rank magic used by the god a long time ago, or five thousand years of the world''s history penned by the dragon!」
「 High-rank magic… Used by the gods a long time ago?」
Was that… The magic used by higher beings like Nyarlhotep?
Since that was the case, that might be a trump card to win against Nyarlhotep and Co.
「Isn''t this a good chance, Kanata-san?」
Pomera seems to feel the same way.
I nodded at Pomera and looked back at Ramiel again.
「Ramiel-san, I want to hear more about that matter…」
「Excuse me, waiter-san! Can you give us another two portions of this meat? Wait, make it three! And two of this dish, and this dish too! I''m not done yet!」
Ramiel interrupted me and raised her hand to the waiter to order another batch of food.
Was Ramiel… Truly care about this matter?
「Uhm… You already ate a lot, are you sure that you can eat more? We have to pay attention to the rest of our ingredients too, and we''re proud to say that we prepared more ingredients than our peers…」
The waiter spoke fearfully.
That remark shocked Ramiel to the point that she dropped the chicken bone in her hand.
「D-Do I have to… Pay the money? I''m born to protect the human and the world, and yet…」
Pomera was cresfallen hearing Ramiel''s remark.
The waiter was left dumbfounded upon hearing such a remark.
「… I will pay for her, and serve her the food.」
Albeit equally dumbfounded, I decided to treat Ramiel a meal.
Ramiel''s face shone the moment I spoke up for her.
「Thank you very much! I love you, Kanata-san! Well then, let''s dig in!」
