「Female Knight, are there any clues for searching for them? If not, I’ll just head for the neighboring country Granard . 」
「Yeah…」
Immediately after leaving Peryudōna, Doradora asked for the destination .
Ariante herself just received the report, so she doesn’t have any idea herself .
「But even if we look for them in the plains, we won’t find anything . The search team is already hunting for any clues there . There’s no big difference even if we go there . 」
「If so, should we go to the garrison where you stopped by before? The disappearing gold mountain is near there . 」
That is a reasonable suggestion . But there’s little hope there too .
If we take Rēvendia’s personality into account, he probably won’t be able to fool the garrison soldiers and kidnap the general’s daughter . He would have left for the capital peacefully .
The sudden disappearance of their footprints probably happened because something unexpected happened along the way .
Then, where we should search is not the destination, but the plains along the way .
「I wish I had the means to contact them in an emergency . 」
I clicked my tongue lightly .
I tried to limit my support so that the kin girl won’t suspect me, but I’m worried when something like this happens .
Even if it wouldn’t be a means of contacting them, I should at least sneak something into their luggage that would allow me to know their location .
「Hm? 」
That moment, Ariante thought about one thing .
A weapon in the shape of a black claw that Rēvendia showed at Seren .
「What’s the matter? 」
「It’s nothing, I just remember that Rēvendia was given a weapon by a local god around here . It was made with magic power, so the creator, the local god, may be able to track it’s whereabouts . 」
Since it is basically a weapon that is integrated in the claw, it should not be possible to drop them .
「I see . Then, it’s okay that I head towards the local god, right? 」
「That’s right . Can you do it？」
「No problem . 」
Doradora turned his wings . In the direction he is going, I can see the agricultural town Seren .
「Hey, Doradora . I’m just confirming, but the local god I’m talking about is not that town’s saint . 」
「……I know that . I’m just accustoming my wings a little . There’s no way I can make such a simple mistake . 」
「You . You really have a habit of distorting facts for your convenience . 」
Ariante sighed once .
「Anyway, fix that habit if you want to be stronger . It’s only by admitting one’s own faults that one can improve . You can’t grow stronger if you turn away from your weaknesses, you know? 」
「……Sorry . It’s embarrassing, but I misunderstood that the local god was that saint . I’m still not good enough . Now that I think about it, there’s no way that such an unreliable looking god could make a weapon……」
「That’s right . It’s easy to understand if you think about it for a moment . That’s great, with this I improved my judgement of you a little . 」
It must be just my imagination that I heard a sneezing sound from Seren below me .
Ariante recalls the story when Rēvendia showed his weapon .
「Certainly, he said that he met that god at an underground ruin that some bandits were hiding at . 」
「An underground ruin, that’s convenient . 」
Doradora showed a fearless smile, as if he suddenly got a lead .
「Do you know the place? 」
「Don’t know . But, if it’s something like an underground ruin, it will be easy to find . Wait a bit . 」
Doradora opened his mouth and began to shoot weakened breath in all directions on the ground .
「What are you doing? 」
「I’m the Proud Dragon of Fierce Winds . Manipulating the wind is the same as moving my hands . Exploring the terrain with the breath that echoes on the ground is as easy as twisting a baby’s hand for me……」
「Is that so . Anyway, there’s a fairly large hole over there in the plain, maybe that is the entrance? 」
「Fuh . Listen to me, female knight . The great wind has shown me the entrance—it’s right over there . 」
「I don’t think that has anything to do with the wind . 」

Ignoring Doradora, who insists that it’s all due to his credit, they landed in front of the ruins .
Well, it would have taken more time if we didn’t search from the sky, so it can be said that it’s his credit .
「Anyway, wait here . With your size, there’s no way you can enter—」
When Doradora turned around, Ariante reflexively pulled her sword .
A humanoid figure with black silhouette and a row of white teeth forming a smile . He started pulling a bow from a bush aimed toward Doradora .
「Get down！」
At the same time, perhaps because he has detected a killing intent, Doradora evaded out of the way . Then the black arrow is struck down by Ariante’s sword .
「Who are you, are you a demon!?」
「Mu? 」
In response to Ariante’s question, the black shadow tilted his head .
「This dragon, your pet? 」
「Yes, this guy is our town’s cute—」
「Wait, that’s absolutely wrong . I am a proud dragon . I’m not a weak being that is kept by humans . 」
Putsu~, an arrow stabbed between Doradora’s eyebrow . It’s an unstoppable shot .
「GUOOO! An arrow! There’s an arrow on my head! 」

「Wild dragon . No shortage of prey . Hunt . 」
「Hunt? Don’t tell me, you are this place’s Hunt God? 」
The rolling around Doradora is left alone . Unlike Rēvendia, he is a magnificent dragon . His wound will heal soon .
「That’s right . 」
「We are not your enemies . Rēvendia……a friend of the herbivorous lizard that you taught . 」
The moment I said it, the arrow stuck between Doradora’s eyebrows disappeared like a fog .
Then the Hunt God came out .
「My bad . Thought that dragon is a prey . 」
「I don’t mind . Everybody makes mistakes . 」
「Hey you guys, don’t reconcile without me, the victim . 」
The dissatisfied Doradora walked up to me, but I ignored it .
Fortunately, when I flicked my sword, he read the air and closed his mouth .
「I will ask you straightforwardly . Hunt God, we are looking for Rēvendia’s whereabouts . Can you grasp Rēvendia’s location from the weapons that you gave him? 」
The Hunt God’s expression changed . His expression can only be seen from his white teeth that formed his mouth, but now the smile floating there has disappeared and it looked serious .
「That guy, bad situation right now . Trapped by demons . 」
