===Part 7===

「What in the world……」

Noct who was wearing a Drake inside the arena’s waiting room heard the Dragon Voice from Krulcifer and she unconsciously groaned.

The third battle of the All-Dragon Battle’s latter half, the battle against the Vanheim Principality was entering into the last third battle.

Philuffy won in the first individual match, and the second match, the pair match, ended in defeat just now.

With both sides having one win each, the third match would begin. But before it could start, the state of high alert was invoked in the royal capital and it was discussed to temporarily suspend the All-Dragon Battle.

But, only Greifer, who was the Vanheim Principality’s participant for the third match, was firmly maintaining his attitude that wished for the match to continue. He stayed rooted on the arena ring.

「I’ll wait just for five more minutes yeah? Come fight already, New Kingdom.」

Greifer showed a fearless grin. He was already clad in his Divine Drag-Ride Cuelebre waiting for the start signal of the battle in the ring.

「I’ll say this beforehand. For the time being there is also the need for keeping up appearances, so I came out for this match, but if you guys don’t take responsibility for firing a cannon at our princess, then it doesn’t matter what the result of this match is, I’m gonna locate the criminal myself. I’ll catch anyone suspicious one by one──and then interrogate them with these hands.」

Greifer’s eye glint that was tinged with killing intent caused the spectators to get goosebumps.

──Right now, there was no Drag-Knight of the New Kingdom who could stop Greifer who was in a frenzy.

Almost all the Drag-Knights were already departing in order to defend against the force attacking from both sides of the royal capital.

「……Will he make it in time?」

Airi gazed at that ring. And then when she lifted up her face, Noct’s Drake suddenly showed a reaction of receiving a transmission from Dragon Voice.

『Can you hear me──Airi, Noct?』

When she came to hear the familiar voice of her big brother, Airi’s lips burst into a relieved smile.

But, her expression immediately returned to her usual calm look and she brought her face closer to the Drake before throwing out her voice.

「You’re late! Just what have you been doing Nii-san! This side is in really grave trouble! A giant Ruin is attacking from the northeast! Lisha-sama’s Tiamat rampaged, and the people of the Vanheim Principality were aimed at──what should we do about this!?」

『Yeah, I also got set up on my side. The hidden fortress already fell, and I’m getting chased by the Rebel Army and an Abyss swarm.』

「-……!? And, what is Nii-san planning to do?」

『I want you to tell everyone what I’m going to say after this.』

Lux told Airi the 『strategy』 in the shadow of the arena that was enveloped in uneasy commotion.
