We Live in Dragon’s Peak - Chapter 60.2

Chapter 60.2

“Will tell Mist-onee-chan, nyan . ”




“Uuuh, forgive me . ”

Nymia, she’s got a hold of my weakness .

I politely turn down the invitations of the villagers and head to the center of the plaza . There, I release Nymia and ask everyone to back away from her .

With a, “Hii,” Nymia returns to her original large form . All of the villagers are shocked . The elders even pray to her out of respect .

I give my farewells to everyone and move onto Nymia’s back . Once I secure myself by wrapping her fur around my body, she soars into the sky . I wave to the villagers from above . They all wave back in return . Anemone-san also vigorously waves her hand .

The Dragon’s Gem completely did away with her weak constitution . She seems to have been the only one to have been rewarded from this incident .

I wave goodbye until can no longer be seen . I will come back again someday . Next time, it will be together with Mistral, Ruiseine, and Priscilla-chan .

Nymia accelerates once the village is out of sight and heads towards the ravine Asher-san is waiting in .

I remember something while watching the scenery flash by . “Ah! We forgot Laniceam-san!”

Darn, without Laniceam-san, there’s going to be trouble once we return to the ravine . If he were with us, he’d be able explain what happened in the village and settle things peacefully . How should I explain this to the other men?

“Will work out some way or another, nyan . ”

Nymia’s carefree words make me smile .

“True, whatever happens, it’ll work out . ”

I follow Nymia’s carefree example and instead enjoy the view of the mountains as they flow by .

Riding on Nymia’s back, I am able to understand very well the harshness of Dragon’s Peak’s natural environment, from the perpendicular rising cliffs, to the bare rock slopes, and to the deep ravines . Maybe it’s because of strong winds, but the sparse growing trees are slanted . Furthermore, the area deeper within Dragon’s Peak transforms into a world of white .

Even though the Amado Kingdom is still in the middle of its harvest season, winter has already arrived for the inner areas of Dragon’s Peak . While there’s practically no snow in the capital city, the mountain peaks have been dyed white . This world really is relentless .

As I gaze upon Dragon’s Peak, a world of white that isn’t snow spreads down below . Right, the world of ash created by Asher-san . Now that I’m seeing it again, the ash covers a much wider distance than I first thought . It engulfed the ravine .

Asher-san has too much destructive power . Just what kind of place is the ancient capital that’s protected by such a dragon . A metropolis populated only by woman? I wonder why men can’t enter . Perhaps one day I will hear about it from Nymia . Maybe she’ll tell me .

While I’m thinking such, Nymia eases herself down towards where Asher-san is standing . Asher-san, from the ground, warmly watches over us .

Nearby are the dragon tribesmen we left behind, although something is a bit off about them .

Nymia lands and I hurry off of her back . I then check up on them .

“Aaah, Ahser-san, did something happen?” All of the dragon tribesmen have lost consciousness .

“What, don’t blame me for this . ”
“No, it’s just from what I can see, Asher-san might be the cause . ”
“Nyaa . ”

The now miniature Nymia quivers .

“I merely threatened a flying dragon that passed by . ”
“That, isn’t that the reason!?”

I make a wry smile . No doubt, she threatened the flying dragon by roaring out at it . The dragon tribesmen, due to hearing it from so close, were overwhelmed and fainted .

“Nyan, think so too, nyan . ”

Good grief, this is a problem . We can’t just leave them while they are unconscious like this . Now then, what to do?

While I’m thinking such, Asher-san stomps down on the ground . A small rumbling shakes the ravine .

“Wh- What are you doing?” In my shock, I fall back .

“If they are unconscious, then they just need to wake up . ”

Just as Asher-san bluntly stated, they are startled into waking up . They cautiously look around, and upon seeing us, discover Asher-san is the reason for the rumbling .

“Eetto…”

I look for the most decent person of the dragon tribesmen in order to explain the situation at the village to them . The man properly listens to what I tell him, but I’m not sure if he actually believes what I tell him about the village, or if he’s just terrified of Asher-san .

“Hence, we’ll now be returning . ” I declare such with a smile .

Then, without waiting for a reply, I leap onto Asher-san’s back . Nymia is already there making herself comfortable .

Once I’m on Asher-san, she gracefully begins to ascend . Then, she accelerates and the white dyed ravine is below us in one go . She pierces through the clouds and heads for the far of skies of the Dragon’s Forest .

“By the way, how are we returning to ojii-chan’s place?” I’m uncertain as to whether the barrier surrounding the Dragon’s Forest extends to the skies above .

“Fufun, the Dragon’s Forest is like a garden for me . There is no problem . ”

So, it’s like that . Asher-san back then also reached the moss-covered plaza without any trouble . She must have learned her way after coming and going so many times when she was younger .

The land beneath my eyes transforms into a carpet of green before I realize and Asher-san begins to fly lower . A light dizziness passes over me and without my noticing, we are freely flying underneath the branches of the spirit tree .

Asher-san slows down and flies even lower . As she makes a detour around the massive trunk of the spirit tree, Nymia and I spot a familiar black hill .

We’ve safely returned . Nymia and I smile at each other .

“Incidentally, did you bring a souvenir for the child of the long eared tribe with you?”
“Aaah, I messed up . ”

At Asher-san’s words, Nymia and I panic all at once .

We forgot . I should have accepted something peculiar at the dragon tribesmen village .

Ahh, what do I do? Priscilla-chan is going to be mad .

Even though it’s too late to do anything about it now, Nymia and I panic from atop of Asher-san’s back .
