– Fire Dragon Fluff Ball who’s living in a volcano’s POV-
His lordship gave me a strange sounding name, Fluff Ball.
I like the sound of it so much that when he tried to call me with other names, I didn’t give in.
I think that’s a good sounding name.
….I don’t know what it means though.

As I was bathing in the volcano’s magical power, the turbid magical power of Koa, the Fenrir king, ran through the forest.
I hurriedly lifted my body lying in magma and looked around.
The spirits seem to have noticed it too and they are making a lot of noise.
What happened?
From Koa’s magical power, I felt various things like anxiety, irritation, confusion, fear, etc.
Realizing that the anomaly was happening from his lordship’s abode, I hurriedly flew through the sky.
On the way, Marshmallow, the ice dragon, and Light Blue, the wind dragon joined me.
It seems like many wind spirits are also following us.
In the forest, I can see the water dragon Fluffy and the river spirits swimming in the river.

When we arrived at his lordship’s abode, the sight made me stop moving.
Koa, his lordship’s most trusted, bared her fangs and was about to attack his lordship.
I don’t know what’s going on but I was suddenly filled with anger.
How dare she do that to his lordship!
Just as I was about to attack Koa,
「Stop!」
The earth dragon, Flying Lizard, got in my way as those armearenier, who can use web, tied me up.
The armearenier are tying me with web while Flying Lizard is restraining me.
「Why?」
「Stay calm! You are being induced!」
As soon as my head cooled down, his lordship’s magic spread throughout his abode.
It was gentle, powerful, and above all, pure.
I felt that magic covered my entire body and that a new barrier was created.
The next moment, I was astonished by the feeling that something minute, different from my own magical power, disappeared from my body.
I hadn’t felt anything until now but, was there something foreign in my body?
Why hadn’t I noticed it?
If this was what made Koa do that, it means she’s not willingly attacking his lordship.
「I didn’t feel any evil eye magic.」
My friends agreed with me.
Web was removed from my body.
When I look at his lordship, I see him patting Koa’s head.
Koa’s magical power is still fluctuating unsteadily but it’s not as cloudy as I felt earlier.
Perhaps the attack on his lordship had shocked her to the extent that she became unstable.
The chuarenier Boss-san instructed her armearenier to examine the forest.
The wind dragon Light Blue seems to have made the wind spirits to examine the forest.
His lordship is checking everyone who has gathered.
His lordship comes in front of me and slowly pats my head.
Gentle and calm magic flows into my body.
I rub my face against his lordship’s hand and he smiles happily at me.
The rest of the group seems to be getting a little spoiled as well.
「Fluff Ball, can you take care of the underground?」
「Of course.」
I agreed. The anferfurmi Shuri and her aberfurmis will check the underground near the surface.
I’m going to look into deeper places.
I can channel my magical power into the magma flow so I should be able to find anomalies if there’s any.

I received word that the condition of the Fenrir king Koa has stabilized.
I’m glad to hear that since her depression was so severe.
I’m gazing at the forest from the top of the volcano.
For the past few days, me and the fire spirits have been checking the underground but we can’t find anything.
It seems like the others are also combing the entire forest but there are no reports of finding the cause.
I can’t believe we don’t know what’s going on here.
What in the world is happening?
「Haa, I wish I could find something even a little…」
I want to see his lordship.
Immediately after I tried to leave and go to his lordship’s abode, his lordship’s magical power covered the entire forest.
「Eh!」
Enormous magical power, something not comparable to what his lordship has used so far, was released.
The magical power that covered the entire forest slowly descends.
I was stunned by the overwhelming magical power but as soon as it passed through my body, I flew to his lordship’s abode at full speed.
How could he use that much magical power at once?
His lordship might even die!
What happened?
By the time I arrived at his lordship’s abode, his lordship’s magic had disappeared as if it were sucked underground.
I soon found his lordship surrounded by our companions but his magical power was quite exhausted and only a little was left.
I tried to get down immediately but I felt something at the entrance of the forest.
It seems like the others have sensed it too.
「I’ll go.」
I said that and flew to the place where I felt something strange.
As I arrived there, I found a large number of humans.
They seemed to be leaving the forest.
However, when I approached them, they stopped and looked around for some reason.
When I stopped above them to check what’s going on, they looked up and froze.
After watching them for a while, I decided that they were harmless and returned to his lordship’s abode.
Right now, I’m more concerned with his lordship’s condition than them.
Besides, the wind spirits and water spirits are watching them.
If there are any problems, they will be reported immediately.

As I approached his lordship’s abode, I felt his magical power.
What is happening?
Losing an enormous amount of magical power can’t be easily replenished.
