I couldn't stop shaking. My body did not move as I expected. Above all, I could not look up.
Right now, in front of me, Mother Sadie and Sister Peris were busy moving around. Fairy, who usually flies around the house and comforts me whenever something happens, was not here. She has gone to her family in Agartha and Krumfal to tell them about what had just happened.
Fairi leaves the mansion: ....... This has never happened in Alyria's life. No matter how many times Alyria and her sister Eryl invited her to leave the house, she stubbornly refused to leave the premises.
......I've done a terrible thing.
She was almost crushed by the enormity of what she had done. Right in front of her, Mommy and Mommy were swallowed by the black dragon. If only she had never gone outside, if only she had listened to her mother, none of this would have happened.
......Maybe more trouble is on the way.
I'm sure I'll be very angry. And if I'm not careful, I might be kicked out of this mansion. If that happens, you will have to live alone. I cannot live alone.
I couldn't stop shaking as I asked myself such questions.
"Alyria ......"
Her sister Eryl, who had been standing by her side watching over her, called out to her, but Arilia could not respond. More than anything else, her mother was gone. She felt sorry for her sister, but most of all, she felt sorry for her brother Idea, who loved his mother so much. He is now at the dwarves' workshop, but I am sure he will be sad when he comes back. And he must hate ...... himself.
Alyria's head was about to explode with anxiety. All she could do now was hold her head and tremble.
Suddenly she looked up. In front of her eyes was her father, Linos, sitting at the table in a daze. She had never seen her father, who was usually so cheerful and kind, with such a look on his face. He kept his eyes fixed in the wrong direction and did not move an inch.
"Ryooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ......"
Alyria mutters in a small voice. Maybe Ryu-o-kun can solve this situation. Maybe even if she was kicked out of her house, she could manage with him. But to summon him, she would have to sing a song she had learned from Mammy.
She opened her mouth to try to sing it. But she could not sing it. Her voice would not ...... come out. Besides, she knew that if he came here, her father would get angry. It would be a terrible thing to make your father angry now. ....... Alyria knew it intuitively.
When she thought of the Dragon King, the first thing that came to her mind was the sound of his scales scraping against hers. Alyria had the skill to distinguish sounds that humans cannot hear. Her acute sense of hearing could even detect the sound of the dragon's scales rubbing against each other.
She loved to hear them. Ferris, Lars, Fairy, and Sadakichi: ....... All the dragons around her, even the humanized ones, made a crunching sound when she listened carefully. Alyria loved to hear that sound. And the one who made the most beautiful sound was the Dragon King.
The Dragon King's scales made a beautiful sound like a bell. The moment Alyria heard that sound, she knew unconditionally that she could trust this dragon. But the dragon that had just swallowed Mama and Mommy was different. It was a jarring, jarring sound that was both unpleasant and eerie. For Alyria, who had always assumed that dragons were supposed to make pleasant sounds, the sound of the black dragon, Royce, was nothing short of shocking.
Then she heard a familiar sound. This is ...... Ferris. Just as she thought that, the kitchen door of the house was opened with a bang.
"Mr. Linos!"
Ferris is standing in front of Linos, talking to him. Behind him, Ruara stood back with a pale expression on her face. Rinos is whispering something to Ferris, not even bothering to break his stunned expression.
Suddenly, Ferris leaves the house. A few moments later, Alyria hears a grinding sound in her ears, something reminiscent of suffering. She covers her ears involuntarily.
"Yes!"
I heard Ferris's voice, filled with hatred, which I had never heard before. Alyria found herself looking at a boy who had been slammed to the floor right in front of her. Ferris mounted the boy, grabbed him by the hair and opened his mouth hatefully.
What the hell are you people doing? What the hell do you have against me! Let me go home! Send your sister Rico and ...... your sister Soleil back ...... back ...... back ...... back ...... back ...... "
Ferris's voice became more and more tearful. The boy, his eyes blazing despite the fact that he had already lost both hands, stared at Ferris over his body. And beside him, Shario, another black dragon, stood with a stunned expression on his face.
After a while, more and more family members came back to the house, and there was a commotion in the house. When they heard that Mommy and Mommy were gone, their younger brother Idea and younger sister Piatoris were expected to cry, but they both tried to accept the fact calmly and stoutly. However, they still could not hide their shock and both of them were shaking slightly.
When mother Sidie explained to everyone what had happened and talked about what was to come, the atmosphere in the house became even more noisy. Alyria sits in her chair and cowering with her head in her hands, her small body shrinking even more.
No one ...... called out to her. In fact, she was too sorry to speak to anyone, but for Alyria, the situation was nothing but loneliness.
Suddenly, the noisy house was filled with silence. She looks up to see everyone looking in the same direction.
Tips......Tips......Tips.......
The sound of footsteps slowly approached Alyria.
"Alyria ......"
He looks in the direction of the voice. In front of me was my mother, Meilias. My mother with the same expression on her face as usual. ....... When she saw her face, tears welled up in her eyes for the first time.
"Mom,...... I'm sorry,....... I'm sorry....... ......
At that moment, May hugged Allyria gently and silently. Immediately, Allyria began to weep as if she were in a dam. Allyria apologized over and over again, and May continued to hold her gently.
May took Allyria in her arms and slowly made her way to Linos. She stood in front of him in awe.
"I am sorry ......, master."
Linos did not look at May at all, and his eyes were still wandering in the wrong direction.
"What about Alyria, ...... master ......?"
Linos stood up slowly with his gaze swimming. He slowly closed his eyes and tilted his head slowly, as if to listen.
"Goshuji ......"
Just as May was about to speak, Linos quickly raised his right hand and interrupted her. His stern expression caught everyone's attention. The house is filled with tension. .......
"Mei."
I wonder how much time has passed. Linos slowly opens his mouth. Then he opens his eyes, looks around, and finally turns his attention to Alilia.
"Alyria. "Alyria..." he said, "don't worry. Rico and Soleil are at ....... Mom and Mommy are alive ......."
The atmosphere in the mansion is filled with a different kind of tension than before. .......
