This is a tale of how the girl who once carried a great knight on her back, Mystith, ran about to prepare for an unveiling display

◇

The clock turns back to when Sakuya defeated the for returned to her den, Mystith asked all the dragons of her lake about flight forht formations didn't exist in Mystith's turf

Before her pro for Sakuya's sake, she wanted to give her the best flight formation there could be

'Even so, this is a bother Even if you tellin formation, just what a like that! But I'm sure Marty would be happy to see'

She recalled the first hu a spear in his hand Even now, his form existed in her heart

'And now that I'veto make it a reality If I can't find an answer in my turf, I just have to take the other turfs'

Taking off from the lake she lived in, she looked at the mountain she could see in the distance It was a volcano, still very ons who lived there as well

The ones who lived there were red dragons Aon species, they were the ones who boasted the fiercest teht! Let's start off with the easiest place'

The sons of the lake saw Mystith off with a wave of their foreli hot froh it

The fact the volcano didn't erupt was related to the fact the red dragons lived in it

Appearing in such a place alone, Mystith called out to a young red dragon stationed on watch at the entrance

'Oy, go get your boss'

'Ah? What are you talking about, old haGGGYAAAAAHHH!'

Punching down the youth with such a rudeaway the red dragons she occasionally encountered with her fists

The boss' room was extremely vast Lava welled up in the deepest chaon who looked to be the boss Around, the other dragons stood on their guard, presu out a voice of dignity, the red dragon boss looked at Mystith But Mystith infor

'Oy, who do you think you're taking that attitude in front of?'

'Ah, sorry,Mystith Curling his large body, he revised his attitude The surrounding red dragons were shocked at their boss' sudden change

'I told the young'un at the entrance to go get you, but you weren't coies! I'll discipline him later'

'No honestly, I couldn't care less More i to rule this place'

'Eh? Eh! No, that would be quite troubling, or what's the word…'

Seeing the boss shoeakness, a single young dragon stepped up front Irritated at the boss' ti boss

'hmm, I don't knoho on earth you think you are, but I'm different from that cowardly mess I'll make a bloodbath of you, and fro her tail and sending that young dragon flying with a single attack, Mystith continued her conversation with the boss Seeing a powerful dragon taken out in a single blow, the surrounding dragons fell silent

'So? What's your response?'

'… I graciously accept your rule'

'Thank you kindly, I knew you were the one to ask I'll be off to the north for a bit, so follow my lead'

'Yes ons

A place with nothing but rocky crags, and a place where the as strong The wind dragons governed the wind, and by their influence, a strong ould constantly blow through Well, not that Mystith cared about that

Alongside the red dragon, she had coht, this was supposed to be a vast territory

'Come to think of it, I don't know the boss here'

'Yeah, it's aa young wind dragon He's a bit i forup to Mystith, he was once a boss with dignity In the past, he had challenged Mystith to a match, and in the past, he had been beaten until his heart folded in There was no way he could go against her

According to hi one who had risen to power in recent years

'… Hey, whatme his respects?'

'For real!? To think he never dropped by, he on!'

The tent out to face the wind dragon; fitting of his youth, their foe was brih up, he looked down over Mystith

'Oy, oy, what business do the elderly have with on who called theuy the boss? He reeks of small fry'

'It's that, you know The last boss retired and all the influential ones went off to contract with humans, so he becaons, directing eyes of pity He hadn't the dignity of the boss, and those around hied that wind dragon to a fight

'You look real silly up there Get down here and fight me From today onwards, this territory will be under e… then try to keep up withfroons at a rapid pace Mystith looked on the scene with fed-up eyes

'Huh? I told him to come atit If he wants to play tag, then why don't we keep him company'

Mystith's open , her eyes sharpened The red dragon was shaking, perhaps recalling the time his heart was crushed

Mystith lifted herself into the air and chased right after the wind dragon A few hour later, she returned, a wind dragon crying and apologizing under her araia aunty'

As he consoled the wind dragon, the red dragon nodded ay Mystith's next objective When it caaia dragon feood with her No, I don't hate her, but…'

Even Mystith eak to aunty She had known her froe, and in her rebellious phase, Mystith had caused her quite a bit of trouble She couldn't look her in the eye

'More i your territory? Up to now, you always said you weren't interested, right?'

On the red dragon's question, Mystith explained about Sakuya About how she looked after her like a daughter, and about the flight for in formation, is it? I've never done it before You?'

"Me neither… hic"

'I don't have any kids who've contracted at my place But I made a promise, so I've expanded my territory to find someone who knows about it'

'… For reals?' 'Don't expand your territory for soons aia dragon

In a space with a nurass and wildflowers decorated the landscape in shades of green Where the gaia dragons lived, the large trees would all be overned the dirt, the soil was rich in nutrition Approaching the largest cave, Mystith hit against the wall as if to knock

There, a giant gaia dragon popped out her head Her form as she slowly stuck out just her head re its head out its carapace

'Now here's a rare visitor I'lad you look well, little lady'
