–Nightwalker.

　A migratory dragon that has been feared by travelers since ancient times.

　An unusual nocturnal dragon, which is attracted to light.

　His intelligence is low, and he is one of the lowest class of dragons, but he is still a dragon.

　In my time in the dungeon, I’ve heard stories of a fledgling adventurer party that was unfortunately met their end from this dragon.

　……Well, in short.

　Farmers in my rural villager are not people who can win by doing their best.

“Uh, uh !?” (Dana)

　Uncle Dana, the best blacksmith in the village, flew in the air.

　He was always bragging about muscles before and he was just flicked.

“Oh, Dana! You… oh!?” (Marca)

“Chaaaa!?” (Chris)

　The newlyweds, Marca and Chris are blown away by the dragon’s forefoot.

“This lizard…! take this [Fireball]!!” (Misael)

　Grandma Misael, a former magician, shoots a fireball and attacks the nightwalker.

　However, the three fireballs are blocked by the jet-black scales blending with the night, are not even nicked.

　The Nightwalker laughed in an eerie voice.

　He could have killed us all if he wanted to.

　But he won’t.

　He’s enjoying this situation like a cat enjoying a struggling mouse.

“…! Narugoa! Take Timora and run away!” (Mother)

“Leave it to us!” (Father)

　Mother waved her hands as she went with father who is running with his dagger.

　I heard that my parents were one of the most prominent adventurers in the village long ago.

　However, the enemy is too much for them…

“Well, Narugoa-kun! What should we do!? Narugoa-kun’s father and mother will…!” (Timora)

　Timora shakes my shoulders while bawling out.

　At the end of my line of sight, I saw father slash at the nightwalker. However, I can see my father being easily swept away by its tail.

　I hear my mother screaming, mixed with other countless screams.

“Damn, shit… the blade can’t cut through!!” (Father)

“It’s face! Aim at the face! It’s okay for just keep its attention even for a moment! At least give time for the children to escape…!” (Mother)

“Don’t be absurd! You can’t aim for the face in the dark like this. …… What!?” (Father)

“Chaah!?” (Mother)

　It’s a hellish scene of screaming and snarling.

　Right now, there are only injured people, but that’s until he gets tired of playing around.

　We must deal with it immediately.

　However, if I hit him with my summoned “hand”, “that person” would find out that I was a reincarnated person… What should I do…!

　――At that time, suddenly something pulled the sleeves of my clothes from behind.

　When I thought about something and looked back, my “hands” were slightly poking from my shadow.

　The “hand” presents me something pinched between the index finger and thumb.

“Is this…”

　It’s a tiny bell.

　When I received it, my “hand” finally raised a thumb and sank into the shadow.

　I look at the bell in my hand—finally realize the intention of my “hand”.

“-I see, that’s what this is for!”

“What’s wrong with Narugoa-kun!?” (Timora)

　I quickly crouched on the ground. Carving a magic square on the ground using a stone instead of a pen.

“Magic square…!? Are you going to summon the hands from before!?” (Timora)

“No, I won’t! Haha! Still, my hands were pretty cool!”

　I draw a magic square with all my heart.

　I notice that my cheeks are making a smile.

　I warn myself that I should not smile in such a situation, but I can’t help it!

　Because I’ll see them soon–

　However, there is one person who rain on my parade.

“–Narugoa! It’s all your fault!” (Rigat)

　I sighed deeply at the screaming voice from behind.

　Looking back, a person with an angry face, there he is, as expected, Rigat and his underlings.

“Oh, this happened because you’re in the Bewildering Forest! Because of you, everyone is going to get eaten! It’s all your fault!” (Rigat)

　…… Are you just saying that to instead of blaming yourself?

　Or is it because of the shock that your memory has been tampered with, and you are really saying that?

　The latter is horrifying, so I hope it’s the former …

“… I’m drawing a magic square right now, so can you leave me alone?”

“Magic square! Hmm, magic square !? Are you sure you can summon a monster and defeat that monster!” (Rigat)

“… That’s right.”

“Don’t be stupid! You can only call slime. You are just a weak summoner!” (Rigat)

　Well, if it’s an evaluation of the “Crybaby Narugoa”, I can’t deny that.

“If you have time to summon a slime, it’s good enough! Use it as bait for that monster! Then it might get satisfied and go home!” (Rigat)

　…… I can’t even cry… his stupidity is reaching insane levels.

“It’s all your fault, so do it! Come on!” (Rigat)

“Hey, what are you talking about, Rigat-kun?” (Timora)

“Shut up idiot!” (Rigat)

“Kyaa!?” (Timora)

　Timora, who was protesting, was struck by Rigat and fell on her backside.

　Something inside me snapped.

“… Hey, bonbon.”

　I paused on finishing my magic square and grabbed Rigat.

　Rigat screamed shrilly.

“You got a problem with that? Just go ahead and become the bait! You crybaby! Come on! Go ahead! Quickly!?” (Rigat)

　I can’t stand listening to him anymore.

　I forcibly hold down his mouth.

“There’s a better person than me for that strategy, Rigat… You used to mess around with the village mayor’s dog every day, now is the time for you to become more beloved to the villagers.”

“Buh… what the hell…! Even though you’re a crybaby! I’m telling you to go!” (Rigat)

　Rigat’s hands are tinged with light.

　It seems that he has finally activated some kind of physical strengthening magic to use his abilities.

　It’s hard to say, he is so stupid…

　-The next moment, as expected, a nightwalker responded to the light.

“What!? The dragon…!” (Villagers)

“It’s bad! There are children over there…!” (Villagers)

“Stop! Stop it’s too early… Gua !?” (Villagers)

　It shakes off the clinging adults and comes here at a tremendous speed, moving with its four legs.

“Waa, waaahahah!?!?” (Rigat)

　Rigat screams and fell on the ground.

　 … The smell of pee soon came.

“Na-Narugoa-kun!!” (Timora)

　Timora shouted my name and I… just sighed.

　At all, I’m about to die because of this bonbon.

　But I was just in time.

　The rest can be completed with this as a catalyst.

　In a scream, I threw the bell in my hand to the center of the magic square.

　And–

“—[Summon]!”

　Responding to Narugoa’s words, the magic square shines a dazzling light.

　The children are just under the Nightwalker’s nose.

　Everyone covered their eyes for the tragedy that is soon to come.

　…… Silence dominates the place.

　One second, two seconds … The silence did not break.

“Eh……?” (Timora)

　Then, Timora opens her eyes.

　Then the villagers, and finally the shivering Rigat…

　And they saw.

　――The appearance of the Nightwalker tied up on the spot with an ivy, the plant was huge with vines as thick as logs.

“… What a humiliation, I don’t know what you used as a catalyst, but I can’t believe I’m being summoned by the same people who killed him.” (Familiar Voice)

　A woman stood in front of the Nightwalker.

　A tall, lean beauty with flowers in full bloom on her head and ivy wrapped around her body.

　Somehow annoyed, twirled her golden hair with her fingertips.

　And then she looked back at me as if she was really annoyed.

“Well, it can’t be helped because it’s a contract… So? I wonder which daredevil called the Lord of the Great Dungeon the Cave of Silence, Thousand Blossom Alraune—” (Alraune)

“Are you copying me with that title?”

“Eh?” (Alraune)

　She recognizes me and her eyes go wide.

　It looks as if you were seeing a ghost … No, this isn’t a metaphor.

　Well, anyway…

“–It’s been a long time, Alraune, did you cut your hair?”

“Naru… goa…?” (Alraune)

　She’s chocking on my name, but it has been a long time since we finally saw each other again.
