“General, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. First and Eight Watch troops are ready!”
A fully armed male beastman reports to Kuro. On the north side of the village of the Nameless Kingdom, an army of beastmen was lined up.
“Lord, you can go out anytime”
Yuu, with a disgusted expression, looks down at Kuro, who kneels in front of him. Behind Yuu, beastmen children whose fever has completely healed are running around with other children. Furthermore, the appearance of white and black wolves playing together will be a sight that strangers cannot understand.
“Because it’s annoying, go back to work”
“A, Annoying!? So……Someone?”
Kuro staggers to Yuu´s heartless words.
“King, what do you say to Lord Kuro? Everyone is worried about the King”
Rubanov supports Kuro.
“It’s annoying to get together without permission even though I don’t call it”
“Dayo”
Inpika, who was completely rejuvenated after the beastman’s fever, climbed up on Yuu’s shoulder and giggled.
“But I heard you’re going to see the dragon”
“Yes, he really wants to thank me. I said he doesn’t have to say thank you”
“If I ask, the dragon speaks human language fluently, isn’t it?”
“Come to think of it, he was talking fluently. It was the first time for such a noisy dragon. I’m sure he was lonely, so he was hungry to talk”
Contrary to Yuu, who speaks strangely, Rubanov’s face remains tense.
“What carelessness. He has a name and speaks human language. How terrifying it is. Speaking of Toranhorn’s Snow Dragon Uragano in the first place――”
“Mou! It´s a noisy old man since a while ago!”
“Old man!?”
Pixies fly around Rubanov.
“We’re going with you, so it’s okay”
“No, I just need Hisui”
“””Haaaa!?”””
Pixies are shocked by Yuu’s words. Yuu brings Hisui to plant crops and fruit trees that grow in cold climates.
“What’s that!”
“I don’t think it’s just Hisui”
“That’s always the case, ehehe”
“Hisui, you look happy aren’t you!”
“No matter what you say, we will follow you!”
“Ah, not goo”
“King, wait. The story isn’t over yet!”
Bjarne, leader of the fallen demons, and Mauno, leader of the deprived people, give a sympathetic gaze to Rubanov, who clings to the topic. However, when Yuu heads to the place where Shiro and others are, they cant do anything.
“Are you ready?”
“All without omission”
The black wolves, who had been playing with the children until earlier, line up neatly at the signal of Marifa. However, their tails shook violently from side to side. From the perspective of the black wolves, the far north mountains may be thought of as just a short walk.
“OK, then――”
For some reason, not only the beastmen’s children but also other children were rushing to say, 「King, hurry hurry!」.
“Haa……”
Yuu gives up, knowing that it is useless to say anything.
“Wahaa. Fast!”
A child of the fallen demons frolics across a saddle-clad black wolf. In the end, most of the children in the village came along. As expected, it was not possible to put everyone on Shiro’s back, so Yuu responded by putting a saddle on the backs of the black wolves.
“Inpika, I can’t lose”
“I’m faster!”
“Wait wait”
It is the beastmen children who run side by side with the black wolves. The deprived children and the small children whose feet were still uncertain were on Shiro’s back.
“Why don’t you change clothes?”
“Nina-neechan, I’m not cold”
“It will get colder in a little more time~”
When Yuu and the girls take a break on the way, they put fur on the children.
“Pure white”
“What is that?”
“That’s snow!”
“Hu, Huuh. Is that snow? It’s not a big deal at all”
“Can you eat it?”
When they resume moving, they will see a mountain that has been dyed white by snow. Apart from the children and pixies frolicking in the snow for the first time, Inpika and other children from the Holy Country of Jardalk stare at the mountain with anxious eyes. Perhaps the harshness of nature brought about by snow and the memories that they don’t want to remember have revived.
“We’ve arrived”
Yuu jumps off Shiro.
“Shiro-chan, serpent”
“I”
In a hurry, the children ask Shiro. Shiro uses his tentacles to lower the children to the ground.
“Cold”
“This is snow”
Immediately, the children start playing in the snow. There is no way they know Yuu’s struggle to choose a safe place so that an avalanche does not occur.
“Isn’t it late!!”
“Kyaaa!? King~”
When the snow dragon Uragano, which is over 30 meters long, appears from the snowy mountains, the children panic and hide behind Yuu and Shiro.
“Don’t come out suddenly. You were a surprise for the kids”
“Huhh. This is a mountain that I control? It doesn’t matter how I behave”
“What is with the mountain that I control? Lonely Dragon”
“Nuuuu! Stop calling me lonely dragon!!”
With the loud voice of Uragano, the wind and snow come toward Yuu, but Yuu is deflecting it to the side with wind magic.
“King, is this a mountain god?”
Inpika, with her eyes shining, asks Yuu, looking up at Uragano.
“God? This guy is a mountain guard dog, no, a guard dog is enough”
“I won’t allow you to ridicule me!!”
“Don’t speak in a loud voice. It resonates in my head. And you´re really talking”
The beastman’s children, who were suffering from beastman’s fever, were scared of Uragano at first, but did they feel relieved that there was no danger in Yuu´s interaction? When they move to the feet of Uragano,
“””Mountain god, thank you for curing the illness”””
Marifa wanted to emphasize that it wasn’t because of Uragano that the illness was cured, but because of the ice and snow flowers that Yuu brought back. However, she didn’t say anything as Yuu was glaring at her, just as she was about to say anything.
“Can the dwarf beast honor me much more than you do?”
“Don’t make fun of someone”
“This is why! Who makes fun of someone!”
Other children terrifyingly approach Uragano. When they fell in love with the white scales and fur, they soon touched it.
“It’s amazing, it’s smooth”
“It’s beautiful”
“Uwaa, why is it so big?”
Children praise Uragano.
“Um, um! Good! I don’t feel bad”
Uragano nods with satisfaction many times.
“That is excellent. Hisui, please help me”
“Y, Yes”
As he can’t keep up with the lonely dragon forever, Yuu will plant the crops and fruit trees with Hisui. Most of these are brought from Toranhorn.
“Odono-sama”
After a while, Namari, who was playing with Inpika and others, rushed to Yuu.
“What is it?”
“Come here!”
Yuu interrupted the work and was taken to Namari――
“This is……”
White wolves were playing with Marifa.
“It’s like a snow wolf”
Of the black wolves they brought, about 20 transformed into snow wolves.
“Snow Wolf has the same rank as Black Wolf, which is 2. Did they adapt to this environment instead of upgrading?”
“Come on. They’re more like a snow wolf, so they live in the snow, right?”
“Yes, as Master says”
“I have to prepare some food for these guys in the future”
Yuu looks up at Uragano.
“Don’t eat them”
“Who will eat them!”
Ignoring the yelling Uragano, Yuu sees the children playing in the snow. Innocent children are playing by throwing and eating snow.
“Isn’t this snow your dung?”
“Nonsense! This hurts!! If, as you say, this snow is my dung, you´re probably surrounded by my own dung!!”
“I see. But there is something that should happen, so for confirmation?”
“Gununu……! If there are no dwarfs who respect me, I’m killing them here!!”
Uragano couldn’t move so as not to trample the flock of children.
“Isn’t it still good?”
After finishing the work, Yuu put the children who were tired of playing and slept on Shiro. Uragano regretfully chases Yuu and the rest out.
“It’s almost dark and your parents are worried”
“When will you come next time?”
“Eh? I won’t come anymore”
“What!? Such a thing, this me!! That’s right! Don’t you forget that the trees and grasses you planted grow only because of this environment I created?”
“You……don’t talk so fluently”
“Noisy, noisy! Anyway, respect me more and come here. Don’t forget to bring those dwarf people?”
“Is it okay to do it about once a year?”
“Nonsense! Come more often!!”
Even after that, Yuu was amazed at Uragano who was sticky for some reason and finally ignored it.
“Mountain god, goodbye!”
“See you”
“It was cold, but it was fun as it was”
“You can come again next time”
Children and pixies enthusiastically say goodbye to the snow wolves who remain beside Uragano and the snowy mountain.
“Umm. If you want to see me, you should come anytime. It’s as soon as possible? Hey, you’re coming! Are you listening!! Reply to this me!!”
Yuu was tired of the noisy Uragano until the end.
