Chapter 75

Volume 2 of the manga has been successfully released.

Thank you.

"Un! Un! Unn!?"

My voice seemed to reach the dragon girl, who arched her back dramatically in mid-air, forming an impressive shrimp-like curve. I hope she's okay.

Then, the dragon girl, having recovered from her shrimp-like curve, pointed at me sharply.

"You there, little elf!"

"Reni?"

"Yes, it's you! ...Say it again!"

"Again?"

"What you just said! Come on! Come on! Say it again!"

The dragon girl fidgeted, seeking something from me.

What I said just now. Hmm...

"Handsome?"

"Unn!!"

"Is this good?"

"One more time! One more time!! No, not just once, as many times as you want! Tell me about the charm you feel from me!"

"Handsome"

"Unnn!"

"The black is handsome"

"Un"

"Being able to fly is also handsome"

"Unn!"

"Reni, seeing the black behemoth dragon, I'm happy"

"Unnnnn"

Every time she heard my words, the dragon girl arched her back.

Finally, she descended in front of me and struck a pose, saying, "How's this!"

At that moment—

"Great job, Reni!"

—Four rings of light captured the dragon girl.

It was like a ring toss game.

The dragon girl, who was posing in front of me, couldn't avoid them. The rings stopped at her shoulders, below her chest, her stomach, and her knees, then tightened, binding her tightly...

"What... What is this... Ugh..."

The dragon girl, now resembling a boneless ham, rolled onto the ground. I hope she's okay, as her cheek hit the ground...

"Ugh, what is this... I can't get it off!"

"Yes. Even the Black Dragon of the World's Foundation can't break free from the full power of the Elf Queen's magic immediately."

Hasono laughed softly at the wriggling dragon girl.

It seems these rings of light were created by Hasono. They're similar to the rings of light from when she did the [Magic Appraisal], but it seems they can be used in this way too.

I let out a breath, impressed by Hasono's skill. As Samiue said, Hasono is very good at using magic.

Then, the dragon girl glared up at me.

"Y-You tricked me...!"

"Tricked?"

"You called me handsome! You toyed with my pure heart and deceived me!"

Her purple eyes twisted in frustration.

But I—

"Reni, I don't lie"

"But...!"

"I thought you were handsome. I still do"

"Unn!!"

The dragon girl, still wriggling, arched her back... She's still energetic.

Samiue looked down at the girl coldly.

"There's no way Reni would trick you. Reni speaks from the heart and puts it into words. You're just being foolish."

"Really, what a cruel elf!"

"It's fine to be cruel. More importantly, put out the flames. If you don't, you'll be reduced to ashes."

"Yes. I have no intention of letting you escape."

Samiue and Hasono approached the wriggling dragon girl on the ground.

The dragon girl, seemingly intimidated by their presence, stopped wriggling.

"...It's impossible"

"Huh?"

Ah... Samiue, with such a threatening voice...

"...My breath is the strongest. It won't stop until it burns everything to ashes."

"Huh?"

"...My breath is strong."

"Alright. Let's turn this dragon into ashes."

Samiue said this, then lost interest and looked away from the dragon girl.

"No, no! It's me! The dragon that forms the foundation of the world! If I disappear, this world will be in trouble!"

"There's no other way."

"There is another way!!"

The dragon girl started wriggling again, and Hasono sighed.

"Using a power you can't control... Anyway, let's stick to our plan and aim for a breakthrough."

"Yes!"

"Reni, come over here—"

Hasono beckoned me.

But I answered with confidence.

"Reni can do it."

The elves talked about it. The flames that burn the forest have a mysterious power and can't be extinguished without magic.

Even if the Black Dragon of the World's Foundation can't extinguish it, I can!

"Leave it to Reni!"

After all, if it's magic, it can be extinguished.

"Jewel of light"

I held my hands together at my chest. A sparkling orb appeared there.

This feeling is the same as when I purified the [Full Body Armor] in Reoriga City.

Although my [Magic Circuits] have become thinner, the image of using magic from the jewel hasn't changed.

My body started to heat up. I spread this heat to the ground...

"Protect the elf forest, extinguish the fire."

The range is the entire elf forest.

"Turn into light!"

At the moment I spoke, light surged from the ground.

This should definitely work. The elf forest won't burn, and everyone will be safe.

Sure enough, the strongest four-year-old!

But—

"Reni, no...!!"

In the light, Hasono was desperately reaching out her hand.
