“Are you really alright?”
“Hmm?”
Eris sat beside me as I ate.
May grumbled behind her, wanting to sit next to me.
“About what?”
The palace food was too good. It would be hard to adjust to normal food after this.
Eris’s face darkened.
“The dwarves. Hayun and Tana are in danger.”
“I can’t do anything from here.”
“I know, but…”
Even the Eccentric and other warp mages didn’t have markers for the Dwarf Guild.
I chuckled.
“Don’t worry. I’ve already sent help.”
“Already?”
“Yes, someone very fast. He was recently unemployed, so he should be there by now.”
Eris looked around.
Someone strong enough to help… Kurika? But she could still sense his presence in the palace.
“Who did you send?”
“It’s hard to explain… someone who specializes in dwarves. It’s good timing, he needed to stretch his legs.”
“Stretch his legs?”
She looked confused, and I smiled.
“He’s been asleep for a while.”
Or rather, pretending to be.

“…”
“…”
“…”
Hayun, Tana, and Volfete emerged from the forest.
The kingdom’s territory was just across the plains, visible in the distance.
ROOOOOOOOAR!
They turned.
The dwarven airship, which had been bombarding them moments ago, was falling in flames.
And in its place was the ancient ruler of the skies.
– Insignificant creatures! You dare trespass while the Sky Lord watches?!
Despite his missing wing, the golden dragon, radiating mana, unleashed a breath attack into the sky.
“Didn’t Daniel say he was going to the dragon-kin’s land?”
“Yeah…”
Hayun nodded at Tana’s question.
The atmosphere was awkward after their near-surrender.
“He always does this.”
A smile spread across her face, a weight lifted from her shoulders.
“That boy you adore sends unexpected gifts.”
Volfete was stunned, speechless.
“I might start liking him myself.”
Hayun kicked him.
“Ah, here it comes.”
I pointed towards an approaching carriage. They followed my gaze, frowning.
“Where?”
“I don’t see it.”
Sen, Eve, and May grumbled. Only Eris nodded.
“It’s coming. It’s still far away.”
“See? I told you.”
“Can you see it, Daniel?”
“Hmm?”
Eris’s eyes glowed with Artemis’s mark.
I knew Artemis wasn’t real, and that her power came from one of the three gods, but…
“It’s far enough away that I need to use my power to see it. You have good eyesight.”
“…”
I was speechless.
The enhanced senses from the mark had become natural.
Sen, Eve, and May looked at me, curious.
I forced a smile.
“I can grow stronger too, you know?”
“You’re getting even stronger?”
“That’s ridiculous.”
“…”
Sen and Eve looked stunned. May’s gaze was more knowing. I avoided her eyes and went to meet the carriage.
Tana poked her head out the window.
“Woohoo! We’re here!”
The carriage arrived, and I greeted Hayun, Tana, and a dwarf I’d never met before, Volfete.
They were excited about Shakarim rescuing them and recounted the events enthusiastically.
“So, we’re a bit late, but…”
Hayun handed me the dagger.
Holding the second Dagger of Sealing, I felt a sense of finality.
