Considinee breathes heavily, his whole body's nerves sharpened. What was that feeling I just had? She begins to analyze carefully.
It is not the first time she has had this feeling. Considine carefully traces her memory, wondering what in the past has given her this feeling.
...... This is not a family crisis. If it was a family crisis, it would appear in the dream. It is not.
As she thinks about this, a scene comes vividly to her mind.
It was when she was still a little girl. A messenger from a certain kingdom had been cruelly killed. Considine's heart ached.
She was the woman whom Considine had longed for. She was the first woman who made him want to be like her.
The woman called Liincarne was intelligent and beautiful. She had blue eyes with deep intelligence in her gaze. She also had beautiful hair that looked as if it were wet, and a voluptuous body. Considie remembers vividly the first time he met her.
She walked toward us with a straight back, shaking her beautiful hair and ample breasts, and her figure was full of grace and elegance. Her beauty overwhelmed everyone around her, and even the air around her seemed to change.
Reincarne had come as an envoy to her father, the Dwarf Lord King. She greeted Considine very politely, even when she happened to meet him in the corridor.
"Are you on some kind of medicine?"
Without even greeting her, Considine asked her a question out of the blue, and Liincarne tilted her head. She immediately understood the purpose of the question, and with a big smile on her face, she told me that she washed her hair with the sap of Heruus, after murmuring in a small voice that it was a secret from others.
Considie, who at that time had a tight natural perm like a Dwarf girl and her hair looked as if it had been caught in an explosion, immediately ordered the sap of Heruus and started to wash her hair.
It did not take long for Considine and Leincarne to become friends. Leincarne answered all of Considine's questions. Most of her questions were about beauty, such as how to take care of her hair and skin, but Reincarnate treated her as if she were her own sister, not as a lady of the Dwarven lord. For this reason, Considine opened her heart to him and he loved her as if she were his own sister.
Reincarnate was an emissary sent to the Dwarf Duchy to purchase weapons and armor in large quantities. In her country the struggle for power was intensifying, and Leincarne was a member of the anti-king faction that wanted to bring down the current regime. Her father, the Dwarf King, was initially reluctant to accept her, but she visited him again and again, persistently trying to persuade and negotiate.
She did not ask Considine, a lady of the court, to make any kind of overtures to the king, but to be his friend. She did not say much about her country. She only reiterated that it was a wonderful country with very fertile lands. Considine, sensing his presence, did not ask too many questions, but he was excited to hear about the crops growing far beyond the horizon.
It was then that Considine sensed an evil presence.
As he was walking along the corridor of the palace, he suddenly felt an evil presence. Startled, he looked around, only to find Minsi, the chief priestess, there. Not hearing Minsi's voice, who was worried about Considine's behavior, she went to her room, holding her trembling body with both hands.
It was the day that Reincarne was coming. Considine was looking forward to her arrival, hoping that seeing her would bring some relief from this evil presence. However, the news came to Considie that Reincarnation was dead.
She had been brutally murdered in her room at the inn. The moment Considine heard the news, she felt as if she had lost a part of her body.
The same feeling ....... Nowadays Considine has no friend whom she has forgiven more than Reincarne. No one comes to mind when I think of options other than family.
...... Maybe you mean the people you're going to meet in the future?
When he thought about it, he felt something satisfying in his heart. Yes, that must be it. If so, someone he was about to meet and who might have a great impact on him was in danger. This must be saved at all costs.
I was shaking myself to wake up my husband, who was sleeping peacefully next to me, when suddenly he hugged me and knocked me down on the bed. Linos is holding Considine with considerable strength.
"......Ummm.... I'm the head of the household~."
"Hey, Mr. Linos, Mr. Linos. ......"
Considinee moves her body frantically, trying to get out of his arms. But Linos holds her small body with even more force.
"It's a little ...... painful ...... painful ......."
He struggles to move his neck, which is only slightly free. At that moment, I felt light.
"What's wrong, Sidney? ......"
Linos is looking around with sleepy eyes. Considie takes a deep breath and regulates her breathing.
"Excuse me, please activate the presence and magic detection."
"Attention and magic detection? It's working, okay?"
No, sir. It's for the whole country of Agartha.
The whole country⁉
Linos finally wakes up from his sleep at the sudden mention of something out of the ordinary. He sits upright on the bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"What the hell is going on?"
"I sense an evil presence. I would like you to use your presence detection and magic detection to find out what it is.
"Evil presence? ...... got it."
Seeing Considine's serious expression, Linos slowly closed his eyes. Silence enveloped the bedroom.
How much time had passed? Nothing can be heard in the room except for the sound of Linos' breathing. Considine is watching Linos closely.
"Yes?"
When Linos thought he raised his voice, a deep wrinkle appeared between his eyebrows. Silence falls once again.
"...... something, a big bird, is heading north of Agartha."
Linos opens his eyes and looks in the wrong direction. He seems to be unfolding a map. It is not visible to Considie, but there is no doubt in her mind that something evil has entered Agartha.
"...... I believe this is Baron Bonisao's domain."
"Baron Bon Isao ......"
A chill runs through Sadie's body. Apparently, this baron has something to do with the evil premonition.
"Mr. Linos ......"
When he came to, he got off the bed and slowly opened the window. Outside, a magnificent full moon was shining.
"Sadakichi!"
Suddenly, a faerie dragon appeared. Linos brought his face close to hers and continued speaking.
"It is the middle of the night, but I need you to make your way to Baron Bonisao's estate. There seems to be a large bird heading there. Keep an eye on the bird and the baron.
When he had finished, the little dragon disappeared.
"...... Thank you, Mr. Linos. I feel relieved. I'm sure everything will be fine.
"I smell something fishy here. I'll keep a close eye on it.
"Please."
Come on, let's go to bed.
"Yes."
Linos closed the window and got into bed again. Considine, as usual, laid her face on Linos' palm and fell asleep.
