tice.

「However, we're moving much faster than last time.」

『That's because Kazane's Divine Protection of Wind is affecting this ship.
Therefore, the Dragon Boat's speed is higher than it could manage with its own ability.』

Lyle's question was answered by Gieve's spear.
Naoki heard that Lyle and Gieve would someday fuse, but there seemed to be a grace period of about 100 years until that time.
It seemed this manzai-like situation would continue for at least as long as Naoki would be alive.

「Hah, it looks like you've also become quite close?」

「Ah? Close, or rather, it's like talking to myself.」

Lyle answered Naoki's question.
Subsequently, Gieve also spoke.

『Since we're connected at the root.
Well, the fusion isn't complete yet, so there are individual divergences.』

「Even if you say that.
It feels weird.」

『Hm.
So cheeky, even though you're my younger brother.』

「I'm not your younger brother!」

Naoki lightly retorted after Gieve's words, but at the moment, Kazane and Lyle were sibling dragons due to their Gieve Factors, so just like with the West Dragon Village's gatekeeper Aka, they could be called siblings.
Therefore, the relationship between Lyle and Naoki as stepbrothers was also established.

「Or perhaps I should say, Aneki's relationships have gotten too complicated.
Even though just myself as her younger brother is enough.」

Naoki grumbled, but even Naoki was now a member of Minshiana's royal family.
Unnoticed by the person himself.

At the present point, Yumika was the only one without any such backing.

「Well, various things have happened.
It's been a while since we've traveled at leisure like this, hasn't it?」

「Ah, that's certainly true.
Ever since I met Louise-san and everyone, I've been constantly dragged into something or other.」

Lyle replied to Louise's words.
And they thought about what had happened so far.

「Let's see…
there was the assassination group.
Before that were the Brutuzas, and before that was the battle with the devils, dragon, and monster horde, so our last relaxed time was when we were in the royal capital, right?」

「But before that was the group of massive spiders, the devil and okama, and the Hiruko extermination.」

「And even further back, there were the six-armed skeletons, wyverns, Oda Nobunagas, Demon Wolf, the devils…
ah, just remembering makes me feel depressed.」

Louise, Lyle, then Naoki spoke about what had happened up until now, and everyone sighed.

『…
Terrible.』

Everyone had no choice but to nod after Mefirus spoke.

「Well, everything was mostly due to the devils.」

And after Naoki spoke that conclusion, the topic ended.

By the way, if a devil heard Naoki's words, they would probably greatly protest.

Except for the incident with Hagasu's Heart, Trade City Uumin was the only time the devils actively targeted Kazane and the others.
Moreover, that was also after Kazane and the others barged into Uumin, where the devils originally had plans.
Considering the fact that the Seven Deadly Sins were being defeated one after another, for the devils, the White Party was nothing more than a god of pestilence.
Though unsurprisingly, Naoki and the others didn't know that fact.

「Ah, it looks like Aneki's descending.」

Then, seeing Kazane flutter her tail and start descending, Naoki also made the miniature Dragon Boat descend.
Naoki's pervert level wasn't high enough for him to lust after the dragon butt before his eyes, so he was able to land without any problems.

Today, they would stay on a plateau located a little before the sea.
After Kazane prepared Kazane Cottage, the party entered and passed the night there.

Yumika:「It's peaceful.」

Kazane:「Hmm.
My guess is that, even now, a large group of Behemoths is heading towards us, and if we don't manage to stop them, Tsuvara will be destroyed…
or some kind of event like that.」

Yumika:「No, for heaven's sake, don't try to forcibly set up a flag.」
