The carriage with Sheba, Thao and Chario arrived at the gate. They had been to the city many times before, and without hesitation, they went through the north gate, raising their hands in greeting to the soldiers guarding the gate. But Chario could not take it easy, thinking of the pain he would have to go through again. However, her curiosity to enter the capital of Agartha and to see Linos, the king, made her ready to endure any pain.
Just before they entered the gate, Sheba and Thao took off the cloak of Hyde, which caught Chario\'s eye. She pulled them up and quickly draped them over her body, trying to make herself as invisible as possible.
......Ts!
I still feel pain all over my body. But not as much as the other day. It\'s still bearable.
Chario grits his teeth desperately. He repeats over and over in his mind that he wants to enter the capital. He erases all thoughts and just keeps on wishing. ....... Then, after a while, the pain subsides as if it were a lie.
"Well, here we are!
A man\'s voice rouses Chario to his senses. Fearfully, he looked out of the carriage and saw a main street with many people passing by.
"Well, about you, first of all, you\'ve got to go to the inn ......, hey! Where are you going?
Chario was running, heedless of the man\'s voice.
"This is the capital! The capital of Agartha! Amazing! There are so many things!"
She ran straight for the merchant district. The colorful food that met her eyes....... The streets were filled with rare and unusual items. She was awestruck by it all.......

"Hm? I can smell it."
It was Ferris who was twitching and moving his nose. She takes her eyes off the papers and looks around. In front of her was Luara, who was struggling with the papers as usual.
"......It wasn\'t me."
Without taking her eyes off the papers, she opens her mouth as if to spit. Ferris frowns and sniffs.
"Smell! It stinks!"
"So it wasn\'t me!"
Ruara stands up as if to vent her frustration. Even so, she takes extra care in her appearance.
Ferris stares at Ruara. She is still moving her nose.
"Is this the ...... smell? It doesn\'t look like you."
"Of course! And what\'s that smell? I don\'t smell it at all, though.
"I\'m going to go take a look outside."
With these words, she quickly leaves the room. Just as she leaves, various voices are heard from outside.
"Mr. Ferris! I hope you got it stamped!"
It\'s an urgent document! I hope you haven\'t done it yet!"
"Mr. Ferris! Mr. Ferris!"
...... You don\'t think he\'s trying to skip work, do you?
Ruara thought about that for a moment, but then she realized it was her sister Ferris. She looked down at the papers in front of her again, thinking that she should know that such a thing would only cause her work to pile up and would mean nothing.
I\'m not going to do it.
"Hm?"
I looked up. It was because I sensed something unusual in the warding on the city. It wasn\'t that the wards had been broken or damaged. Somehow ....... Yes, if I may say so, I felt something like a foreign body entering my ...... body.
It was as if I had swallowed a small lump....... It was such a strange feeling, but for me it was the first time.
Chiririririn
The bell on the desk in the Oval Office rings. A soldier guarding outside immediately enters the room.
"I\'m sorry, but I need you to take a look around the city.
"Huh?"
"No, I\'m sure it\'s all right, but just to be safe, I\'d like you to take a look around the city."
"Yes, ......, I understand."
The soldier leaves the room with a dubious look on his face. I was about to look down at the papers again, when an idea struck me.
I get up again and head for the bay window. Then I open the window and let out a telepathic message.

Sadakichi disappeared with a dubious look on his face.
"Well, I guess that\'s the reaction I\'m going to get," he said.
I went back to my political duties, muttering to myself.
I was back to my political duties again.
Chario, on the other hand, had walked deep into the merchant district. This was the area that mainly sold groceries. A delicious aroma tickled her nose.
"What would you like, little girl?
I hear the shopkeeper\'s booming voice. Her eyes were glued to the item in front of her. To her surprise, it was a large piece of meat.
It was stuck in a tree and hung from it. The owner deftly handles a knife and slices the meat into thin slices. Then he puts the meat between some kind of cloth. Behind Chario, customers buy it one after another and bite into it. ....... Without hesitation, she reaches for the wood where the meat is stuck.
"Hey, what are you doing?
The owner shouts loudly. He grabs Shario\'s hand as he shouts.
He tries to ...... take the meat away. But it did not move at all. He tries desperately to get it back. But no matter what he does, the meat does not move.
Slurp, slurp, slurp.......
Before he could raise his voice, the owner had been dragged out of the store. At the end of his hand was a piece of meat, and there was a girl holding it. She is not paying any attention to the man who is being dragged out, holding on to her arm, but looking at the meat in front of her and licking her tongue. Then, as if she opened her big mouth, she bit into the meat with a gulp.
"Yeah! Unh! Yes!"
Chario nodded with a big smile on his face. Then he bit into the meat again. She eats the meat in a blink of an eye, to the dismay of those around her.
"Ah......ah......ah......ah......"
The owner was too shocked to speak. She quickly moves her left hand. The owner, who had been holding her arm, suddenly flies into the air.
"Whoa!"
"Aah!"
People scream. The owner fell onto the roof of the store right in front of him, and his store was crushed by the force of the fall.
Chario, paying no attention to the commotion around him, scurries around the store. The food all looks delicious. It was impossible to question her about the common sense of the human race since she had been living freely as a stray black dragon for a long time. She tries to follow her desires.
"I found it! It\'s you, isn\'t it? That\'s what this smell is!
Suddenly, a woman\'s voice is heard. A young woman with big eyes points at Chario.
...... dragon? Not the ...... same kind ......?
Chario looked at the woman and instantly recognized her as a dragon. The presence emanating from her was that of a dragon. However, the woman in front of him seemed to be unable to recognize his true identity. She is speaking unintelligible words.
Who are you? I mean, what\'s all this racket? Who are you? You\'re not human, are you? I can feel the ...... evil in the air."
...... Shut up. It\'s deafening.
She moved her body to eliminate the source of her discomfort as her desire took her. .......
