1"Goodbye, Dragon Life"
Transliteration: "Sayōnara Ryūsei" (Japanese: さようなら竜生)		Kenichi NishidaNaokatsu TsudaKenichi NishidaOctober 11, 2024 (2024-10-11)
The ancient Dragon is unjustly slain by a human hero, but he accepts his death after such a long life. Unexpectedly, he is reincarnated as new-born baby Dolan in Verun Village of the Arcrest Kingdom. Time passes and on his 15th birthday he starts his own farm. Due to the village lacking enough guards he also does jobs for them when required. A knight named Christina moves into the village. As his older brother Dylan has married his parents urge him to find a wife too. Dolan is asked to investigate a nearby swamp where the lizard-people have mysteriously vanished. There he finds the Earth-spirits are making the swamp uninhabitable. He encounters a Lamia named Celina but due to her inexperience she fails to charm him and is almost crushed by an enraged Earth-spirit. Dolan rescues her and together they defeat the spirit with Dolan’s dragon magic. Celine admits she is on a journey to find a strong husband; since all Lamia are venomous their husbands must be poison resistant. Dolan fails to notice her hints and wishes her well in finding a husband, though as a parting gift he gives her some of his dragon life energy to help on her journey.
2"A New Friend"
Transliteration: "Atarashī Nakama" (Japanese: 新しい仲間)		Shigenori AwaiNaokatsu TsudaKenichi NishidaOctober 18, 2024 (2024-10-18)
Celina fails to find a man since they all run away from her. Dolan struggles to learn medicinal magic from the village healer Maguru, since as a dragon he never got sick before. He also trains in weaponry with Albert. Sensing a monster near the village he investigates and finds Celina. She admits to her failure and is surprised when he invites her to live in the village, which already contains Beast-kin and Demi-humans. To prepare the villagers for the idea he has Celina hunt and leave animals as peace offerings, along with evidence of her presence. Unfortunately Captain Balan, Vice-Captain Malida and Priestess Leticia believe Lamia’s are dangerous and stay ready to defend the village. Dolan plans to put himself in danger during a hunt and have Celina save him in front of witnesses, proving her kindness. The hunt is interrupted by a dangerous Armour Bear so Celina instead rescues Balan’s son Tauro. Balan remains sceptical, until she explains her reasons for wanting to live with humans. The Goddess Myrale abruptly sends Leticia a vision decreeing Celina be allowed to stay. Celina passes out from her wounds but is treated by Maguru and given a house of her own.
3"The Knight Girl"
Transliteration: "Onna-Kenshi" (Japanese: 女剣士)		Mame KazuhiroKawahara AnnaNumayama MayuOctober 25, 2024 (2024-10-25)
Dolan separates his spirit from his body and goes to visit Goddess Myrale, who is in fact one of his oldest friends. She is pleased that he has found happiness as a human. Christina sends letters to Headmistress Olivia of Galoa City’s Magic Academy with news of her life in the village. Christina often feels lonely, until she becomes friends with Celina and Dolan. She also defeats Balan in a drinking game, seeing who can drink the most of his wife Miu’s breastmilk, which as a Cow-woman she shares with the village. As a prize Christina is allowed to try their daughter Mir’s milk, having grown old enough to start producing her own. Olivia is pleased by the news from Christina but word of Celina’s existence reaches Government Comissioner Gouda, who ignores Myrale’s blessing of Celina and insists she be interrogated. She agrees but Dolan insists on accompanying her. Christina is furious and asks Olivia to intervene. Olivia explains Celina is in no physical danger due to having Myrale’s blessing, but Gouda’s superior Keiren, a Sorceress for the Government-general, suspects Celina is involved in the disappearance of women from Galoa, despite this being impossible due to Verun village being so far away from the city.
4"A Witch"
Transliteration: "Majo" (Japanese: 魔女)		Matsuo AsamiAn'na KawaharaKenichi NishidaNovember 1, 2024 (2024-11-01)
Gouda delivers Celina and Dolan to Keiren, who claims she now believes Celina is innocent. Gouda visits Olivia and Christina with his suspicions it is Keiren kidnapping the missing women and using them to extend her lifespan. Keiren drugs Dolan and Celina, but Dolan wakes up just as Keiren is preparing to dissect Celina. Keiren admits she has killed hundreds of women from many species to enhance her own beauty. Gouda bursts in with Olivia, Christina and his soldiers. Keiren justifies her crimes as necessary; she was born ugly and became obsessed with stealing beauty. After encountering a certain group of individuals she was given even more victims. Keiren transforms into a grotesque monster but Dolan destroys her. Despite it being self-defence Celina is temporarily confined for using forbidden Evil-Eye magic, so Dolan begins teaching her to read. Gouda provides Celina with citizenship so she can live freely in Verun. Celina visits the city but the people treat her with fear, so she asks to return to Verun. Maguru’s son Denzel, who works for Gouda, asks Dolan to consider joining Magic Academy. Dolan refuses, but as they return home starts to consider what the Academy might teach him. Elsewhere, a demonic portal releases an army of monster ants into the forest.
5"The Forest of Ente"
Transliteration: "Ente no Mori" (Japanese: エンテの森)		Kenichi NishidaNaohiro FukushimaMashami WatanabeNovember 8, 2024 (2024-11-08)
The ants begin massacring the Wood Elf tribe that live within the forest. Celina worries Dolan will join the Academy and leave her behind. Christina decides to clear the woods of predators with Dolan, Celina and Balan. One of the ants appears and injures Balan. Dolan identifies the ant as a Zert demon. Dolan and Christina kill the Zert and Dolan asks her to keep it secret that it was a demon. Maguru is not fooled as Balan’s injuries could not have been caused by a normal monster. Dolan convinces Maguru to let him investigate with Celina. Christina is forbidden from volunteering by the village Elder as Gouda had insisted the village ensure her safety, but she disobeys and follows them anyway. Christina discovers some monsters are friendly but starving, having been driven from their territories by the Zert. A Fairy named Merl suddenly appears, fleeing the Zert which they kill, though Dolan is forced to rely on his dragon abilities and is relieved when the girls don’t notice. Celina is embarrassed when Dolan compliments her. From Merl’s description of the Zert’s behaviour Dolan realises they are scouts preparing the way before even more powerful demons arrive. They are suddenly surrounded by the elves.
6"Visitors from the Dark"
Transliteration: "Yami yori no Raihōsha" (Japanese: 闇よりの来訪者)		Yūichi SatōNaohiro FukushimaKunihisa SugishimaNovember 15, 2024 (2024-11-15)
Elf leader Gio thanks them for saving Merl and is convinced to let them stay in the forest to combat the Zert. Dolan secretly plans to find and destroy whatever portal the Zert came from to stop their masters from coming through too. Unfortunately, at that moment the portal opens even wider, allowing three Demon Knights to enter the forest and begin searching for the Ente Yggdrasil for their master. Dolan’s group and the elves rush back to the elf village, killing many Zert along the way. Demon Knight Geolude attacks the village first but is restrained by Diadora, a Black Rose forest spirit. Geolude is saved from instant death by Demon Knight Raflasia, a spirit of the Raflaora demon flower that feeds on blood and rot. Against her, Diadora’s power over life and nature simply withers away. Despite this, Diadora wounds Raflasia’s face. Raflasia and Geolude overpower Diadora and are about to kill her when Dolan explosively appears and saves her life.
