I saw Scathach-sama suddenly raise her head and looking with a sharp gaze at the horizon.

".... There is a strong aura coming towards us."

"Hm? Who?"

".... I have no idea."

If it was someone we knew, Scathach-sama should be able to recognize their aura and not be vigilant.

".... We'd better be alert."

After that, Scathach-sama drew her red spear. Sakuya-san and I also stood and were on guard.

Not long after, from the distant sky we saw something flying towards us. And after the object got closer and clearer to see, we finally know what it is.

"Dragon?"

We saw a Dragon flying towards us!

And after a distance of about a hundred meters from us, the dragon then stopped and floated by flapping its wings.

The only dragon we know is Tannin-san. However, Tannin-san is a Western Dragon with purplish scales, while the Dragon that came to us this time was a large Western Dragon with celestial blue scales.

".... Who are you!?"

Scathach-sama cried out to the light blue dragon while remaining on alert and drew her red spear.

"I'm Tiamat.... And you must be Scathach...."

The light blue dragon looked back at Scathach-sama and answered her.

Hearing the light blue dragon's answer, I was quite surprised!

Tiamat is considered to be the most powerful Dragon King! Also, why did she come here!?

".... Tiamat? One of the Dragon Kings? What do you want? How do you know who I am?"

Scathach-sama again asked suspiciously.

"Tannin told me about you. I'm here because he asked me to watch over you all. He's worried that you will be disturbed or targeted by unknown parties. That's why I was asked to watch over you and prevent problems from happening...."

".... Tannin?"

"Yes...."

Tiamat then flapped her wings to descend and land.

".... On what basis should we believe your words?"

Even though Tiamat-sama had said she was here because of Tannin-san's request, Scathach-sama remained on high alert. But, I'm pretty sure that Tannin-san won't tell about us to untrustworthy people.

"You can ask him yourself. I'm sure he will also be here soon because he also felt her aura...."

Tiamat said with a sharp gaze at the Seven-Headed Black Dragon.

Not long after, from the horizon once again a dragon figure flew towards us.

But this time, the dragon that came looked smaller than Tiamat and had purple scales. We are familiar and recognize the figure of that Dragon, that is Tannin-san.

And after about fifty meters from us, he stopped and looked at us.

"Haah~.... I knew it."

After sighing and saying that, he landed.

"When I felt the aura of a powerful dragon that suddenly appeared but I didn't recognize it, I was confused and wondered.... Until I remembered your ability."

Tannin-san said while looking at the Seven-Headed Dragon and then at me.

And hearing his statement, I can only smile wryly in my heart.

"But, how can you feel the aura? Scathach-sama and Sakuya-san should have created a barrier to seal this place."

I wonder how Tiamat-sama and Tannin-san can feel the aura of that Seven-Headed Dragon. After all, when summoning Scathach-sama and Sakuya-san before there was no leak. I definitely won't believe that the barrier made by Scathach-sama and Sakuya-san is inferior to the barrier made by Governor Azazel at that time.

"It's true that this barrier can prevent other people from knowing what's in here and what's going on here. But, the Dragons race, especially High-ranking and Strong Dragons like Tiamat and I can feel the auras of other high-ranking Dragons as long as their auras are not disguised."

"I see.... Wait. Does that mean that the other high dragons also felt the aura!?"

"Most likely."

Ehh.... That's not good, isn't it!? What if the other high dragons gather here because they feel the aura of the seven-headed dragon and end up causing trouble!?

"I know what you're worried about. But there's no need to. Even if they sense it, I don't think they'll come here. Because most high dragons are either dead, sealed, or don't care."

Tannin-san said comforting me.

"Huh~.... That's good then."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, I asked him again.

"Tannin-san, is it true that you asked Tiamat-sama to watch over us?"

"Yes.... Actually Mephisto Pheles asked me to take care of you. But because I have a lot to do, so I asked Tiamat to replace me."

"So what Tiamat-sama said earlier is true."

"Azazel should also have ordered his people to watch over you."

Hm? Governor Azazel also ordered people to watch over us?

No, that actually made sense. It is open territory here after all. And we are no longer in Governor Azazel's private lab. So it's not strange that Governor Azazel is worried that something will happen.

".... You there! Are you going to keep hiding!?"

While I was wondering, I heard Scathach-sama shouting.

Before long, we saw a woman with black wings fly up to us and then landed.

That woman is certainly a Fallen Angel.

"Pardon me.... My name is Penemune. I was ordered by Azazel to look after you all."

So, she's the one who was ordered by Governor Azazel to watch over us.

Penemune-san is a Fallen Angel woman with long purple hair and a stern facial expression.

Looking at it, her long purple hair makes her look quite similar to Scathach-sama. However, what distinguishes Penemune-san is of course her face, black wings on her back, and... her chest that is much bigger than Scathach-sama. And if it was said that Scathach-sama had the sharp aura and gaze of a warrior, then Penemune-san's sharp aura and gaze was more like a secretary.

"Actually, it wasn't me who was originally ordered to look after you three. But because a few weeks ago he received a bad news, he was depressed and I was ordered to replace him."

So Penemune-san isn't our first supervisor? I wonder who was the first.

Well, never mind.
