I Was a Small Fish When I Reincarnated, but It Seems That I Can Become a Dragon, so I Will Do My Best - Extra Chapter 116
Sorry for late update, and thanks for the Ko-fi
4-36. Destination
With precision, he sheathed the black blade of his wakizashi and turned towards me, brushing his hand aside.
He seemed to puff up his chest and strike a proud pose quite deliberately.
I couldn’t help but smile, thinking he seemed strong but also quite pleasant.
Soon after, Mom and Dacia headed towards us.
Though everything was already over, Dacia held the head of an angel in her hand.
Seeing this, Ouren seemed somewhat surprised and spoke up.
“Huh!? Did… did you kill that angel, Dacia!?”
“I couldn’t see anything. But with angels, it’s a different story. There’s a chance they’re not what they seem. Better to take care of them before they do anything. Besides, they wouldn’t have told us anything anyway.”
“W-well, I guess that’s true…”
I wish they hadn’t brought something like that here in the first place.
Surely we don’t need it anymore…
Apparently realizing that I was avoiding looking at it, Dacia lifted it once and then threw it off into the distance.
It hit a burning tree, turning it into a human torch that rolled away.
Still… I hadn’t thought that parchment was such a dangerous thing.
If it had been deciphered back in the Oni Village… I shudder to think what might have happened.
Ouren could handle it immediately, but if it had been just the Oni, it might not have been possible.
I’m glad it couldn’t be deciphered.
But, I think we’ve got a clue now.
Everyone gathered again and exchanged glances.
Then, Uchikage-Ojiichan crossed his arms and made a proposal.
“Well, it’s about time we moved as well. Ouren-sama.”
“That seems to be the case. So, for now, the plan was to help Houen. Are you coming? And what about Dacia?”
“I apologize, but I have a duty to settle the matters in the Oni Village. Therefore, I cannot accompany you on this journey.”
Currently, the Oni Village is in a precarious state, with the possibility of war with the Gharrott Kingdom.
Because the king is a friend, it hasn’t escalated to that point yet, but if the angels become more active, who knows what might happen.
It wouldn’t be good to have the castle lord absent at a time like this.
Uchikage sighed, saying he’d like to send reinforcements if possible, but it didn’t seem feasible.
Oni who awakened their essence were excellent as a fighting force.
Moreover, since they are a race much smaller in number than humans, they need to be preserved.
Ouren, having listened to the discussion, showed no signs of trouble.
He accepted it with understanding and nodded slightly, saying, “Leave it to us.”
Uchikage seemed relieved to hear that.
“Sorry, but I can’t go either. Since the angels attacked, we need to investigate here as well. I have to talk to Atrak-sama and send Lurimkos-sama on a mission. The rescue of the other three will be left to Ouren, Yuuzen, Amariaz, and Karna. We devils will gather information on the angels. The Four Heavenly Church also piques my interest.”
Now that the angels’ activities have become more active, there’s plenty for devils to do as well.
If they’ve started moving, we should be able to track them, and we need to understand the enemy’s base and forces.
In short, it seems they’ll be acting as spies, sending allies to various countries based on the information they currently have.
While it will be very difficult to obtain information about the angels while unlocking the seals of the remaining three, the devils have volunteered to do so.
No one opposed the idea, and everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing it.
“So, does that mean the four of us are going to unlock their seals? Karna, you’re coming too, right?”
“I have nothing in particular to do. I’d like to regain my intuition.”
“Alright, then it’s settled.”
So, it was decided that I, Amarias, Ouren, and Mom would go to unlock the seals of the other three.
Next is someone named Houen…?
The sealed location is the Terraome Strait.
But since none of us and devils know what kind of place that is, I ask Uchikage-Ojiichan about it.
“First, a narrow part of the sea sandwiched between land is called a strait.”
“Like the Naruto Strait or the Kanmon Strait, huh…? …Is it narrow…?” (It’s a real place)
“…? Ahem. The location is far to the south from here, in the middle of the Terraome Strait… where Houen is sealed.”
“In the sea!?”
The Terraome Strait is very long.
So, even devils haven’t grasped where exactly it’s sealed.
However, the person who was actually there knows.
Uchikage-Ojiichan looked at Dacia.
She nodded in response to his gaze.
“I know the location. Houen is located east of the center of the Terraome Strait. Well, you’ll figure it out once you go there.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah. When he was sealed, he took the form of a monster like Ouren. Ouren should understand what that means.”
“…Wait, does that mean… Could he boil the sea?”
With the words “boil the sea,” I felt like I could understand the strength of the person called Houen a little.
That means he probably uses fire-based abilities.
Dacia shook her head upon hearing that.
It seemed he didn’t have the power to boil the sea after all.
“Not to boiling, but he significantly altered the ecosystem.”
“Oh, really?”
“You’re quite something yourself.”
“Huh?”
Come to think of it, didn’t this person cause a forest to grow in the devil territory where devils reside…?
It’s strange to think that just by existing, he can change the environment.
Then, Dacia slashed the air with her hand.
A creepy gate opened, urging us to enter it.
“I connected it to the Terraome Strait.”
“Speaking of which, what about the other places?”
“Karna knows the others. Once you know the locations, you should be able to go on your own. Now, go. There’s no time.”
“Right.”
Even as we talked like this, the angels must be taking action.
If we don’t hurry, it might be too late.
Ouren looked at us once and beckoned.
“Let’s go!”
“Yes!”
“Alright…!”
Amariaz seemed to have made up his mind about something, as he clenched his fist and entered the gate Dacia made.
Mom quickly followed, and then Ouren entered too.
As I was about to follow suit, I was called from behind.
“Yuuzen.”
“Hm? What is it, Uchikage-Ojiichan?”
Uchikage-Ojiichan seemed to be looking at me with concern.
He probably has various thoughts, but his eyes also seem to convey a feeling of apology.
I can’t quite understand what he’s thinking deep down.
But finally, Uchikage-Ojiichan spoke one last word.
“Go and come back.”
“I will!”
With those final words, I entered the gate.
It quietly shrank and finally disappeared.
Uchikage-Ojiichan and Dacia, left behind, looked at the spot where the gate had disappeared with deep emotion.
The sound of burning trees nearby seemed oddly loud.
Dacia glanced at Uchikage-Ojiichan, who closed his eyes and sighed.
“…What’s wrong? You seem different.”
“Children grow up fast, don’t they?”
“Compared to us, yeah. Because they are human.”
“Indeed.”
“Well then, we should go back at once.”
“Right.”
Dacia created another gate.
She entered it smoothly, and once again, the gate quietly closed and disappeared.
