She must be really worried about her brother. “She has good eyes. Hyoudou Issei, it won’t be a problem if you protect her.”
The old man said with a lively smile. “Sure, okay then. Let’s go together, Ravel.”
Ravel's response to my words is lively and she happily says “Yes!”, then used her demonic-powers to change her clothes into something she can easily move in. She dressed like an adventurer and was wearing a safari jacket. “Ise, take care of Ravel as well.”
“Yes, Buchou!”
On the other hand, her brother was…..
“N..No! Why do I have to go to the mountain! ?”
Raiser was going crazy within the old man’s hand. ……For you to show such a pathetic attitude, when your sister just showed such courage……. “This is all for you. Discard your rich-boy attitude and let’s go to the mountain. Both your body and soul will be cleansed when you inhale some fresh air.”
He glared at me, rather than looking at me with fear. That seems more like him. “My servants! Save me! This is an order!”
Raiser demands help from his girls who are below him…..
“Raiser-sama, please endure it.”
“ “Go for it!” ”
They were just cheering him, while waving their hands. Seeing that, Raiser became so shocked that his eyes were about to pop out. “Y-You girls! You are all heartleeeeeeess!”
FLAP! Finally, the old man flies away from the garden. Ravel held onto me tightly. “Heeeeeeeelp!”
When I saw Raiser, I thought it was déjà vu of me back in Summer. Yeah. Being taken away by a Dragon sure is scary! Azazel-sensei thought of this plan first. As I thought, you are cruel! “Hyoudou Issei, if we are going to the mountains, then there is a good place. How about we go there?”
The old man gives me a suggestion. Hmm, where is that? “Where are we going?”
When I asked, the old man answers with a bit of a happy voice. “My territory.”
“Wow, amazing.”
I was astonished at the scene in front of me. There are many monsters like Dragons in front of me! The place the old man took me, Ravel, and Raiser was his territory, where there are many huge Dragons! There were big holes on various parts of the cliffs of a canyon and there were Dragons which exceeded 10 metres popping their heads out of them. Many Dragons were spreading their wings and flying within the valley. It appears many Dragons are living within this valley. Raiser, Ravel, and I were dropped on a section of cliff, where it was just possible for a person to stand. The spacious canyon is right in front of my eyes! For someone like me, who can’t fly by myself, it would be dangerous if I fell from here. The Dragons look at us from their nest holes as if they find us rare. Amazing, it feels like there are so many monsters here! I did hear that Dragons also live in the Underworld, but it’s my first time seeing their habitat. “This is the nest of the Dragons, where my people live. This area is only a section of our habitat, but you can say this is the borderline, that humanoid Devils like you guys will just be able to survive. Also these Dragon tribes are the ones which are able to communicate with others.”
The old man explains. “D…D…Dragons……”
Raiser, who is next to me, has a blue face after seeing the herds of Dragons in front of him. The traumatic experience he had must really have been great, huh……
“Tannin-sama.”
Along with the voice I never heard before, two Dragons appear in front of us. “Did you summon us?”
A blue-scaled Dragon and light blue-scaled Dragon appear in front of us. “Yes. Hyoudou Issei, these two are High-level Dragons that serve under me. I’m thinking of leaving Raiser Phoenix to these two.”
Saying that, the old man explains the situation to the two Dragons. “Roger that.”
“It’s seriously okay~.”
Both of them replied immediately. It seems like the blue-scaled Dragon replied quite light heartedly though……
“Raiser Phoenix.”
The old man said a single sentence after calling Raiser. “We are going to train both your body and soul near this Dragon canyon!”
“……Uuu, how can this happen….”
Raiser shook his head while covering his face with both his hands. Please be resolved. It’s nothing, even if you have a death-like experience you won’t die since you are immortal! While nodding my head…. “Hyoudou Issei, you should train as well. Go and run first.”
The old man even said that to me. I knew you would say that……. I also made up my mind and changed into mountain climbing gear that I prepared. “Hey, hey, you are too slow!”
“Uwaaaaaaaaaaah! It’s going to freeze! My fire is going to freeeeeeeze!”
BUUUUUN! On a snowy part of the mountain, the Yakitori-san was being chased by a Dragon. The light blue Dragon was breathing out ice from its mouth, as it was chasing Raiser who had also changed into mountain climbing gear. “Dammit!”
“Raiser-dono! The shout you have to say during this training is [Dragon]! Repeat after me, Dragon!”
“D-Dragon!”
I was running on the snowy mountain a bit away from him at the back. The place we were running around isn’t piled up with snow and it wasn’t so cold that we would be shaking. It’s daytime so it isn’t snowing violently. The light-blue Dragon is a High-level species called the "Blizzard Dragon". But, man~. Please look everyone. It looks like a tragedy from back here. After all, he only looks like an adventurer who is being chased by a large Dragon in the mountains. “Onii-sama! How can you make a fuss with something like this! ?”
Ravel, on top of the light-blue Dragon, was trying to put some spirit into Raiser from up high. The training started by doing some running first. It’s quite hard to run since I have to step onto the snow which I’m not familiar with. But it seems this will train my legs and hips a lot. It’s hard, but I was able to run thinking that this is all training. Above me is a blue-scaled Dragon. …….It’s flying up in the sky while playing around with a super-giant touch screen monitor and he’s singing with his nose. He sure is different to the light-blue Dragon in front of me. It might be prejudice, but seeing a big Dragon playing with a modern device sure does make my imagination crumble. While I was thinking such a thing, the blue Dragon above me spoke. “Sekiryuutei-dono, how is the rich boy from the House of Phoenix doing?”
“Eh? Ah, well, he seems to be having a hard time.”
“But it sure is crazy~. He really is weak. I thought rich boys who are High-class Devils were a bit more elegant, but they seem to be much weaker than I thought. It’s quite crazy.”
……..He sure speaks in a light manner. Why is he so flashy!? It seems like he’s an ace of the Dragon-tribe called "Sprite Dragon". Asia’s familiar, the small Dragon, is also part of this tribe. Will it also become a flashy Dragon like this in the future……? After running for an hour, we took a break and I was drinking some water. Next to me, Raiser was on the ground breathing heavily. “…….I’m going to die……”
His voice was weak. Hey, hey, even I can still run more. He sure doesn’t have any stamina.
