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 117

4-37. Inside the Church

There was a clatter, a rolling sound.

The overturned Holy Grail seemed to be made entirely of silver, gleaming even in the dim light.

Beautiful carvings, decorations.

The intricately crafted Holy Grail, so exquisite that one might hesitate to pour liquid into it, now lay twisted and rolling on the ground.

It was inevitable that something would warp if it fell from a height.

The more intricately crafted it was, the higher the probability of that happening.

In the center of the ornate cathedral, light streamed down from above.

A simple yet beautifully crafted desk and chair were placed there, and a single angel sat in the chair.

In front of him, it seemed there was another angel kneeling.

“…What did you just say?”

Without even glancing at the overturned Holy Grail, he spoke with a trembling voice.

It was a low, heavy voice, befitting the appearance of the man-like angel who now stared fiercely at the angel who had come to report, his eyes wide open.

The story he had just heard was beyond belief.

Grabbing his long golden hair with his hand and disheveling it, he reached for the wine bottle on the desk.

Perhaps due to his agitation, his hand was trembling.

After a moment, cracks appeared, and the bottle shattered into pieces, its contents spilling onto the ground.

“I-I will…repeat…the Ouryuu (King of Dragon, Ouren) has awakened.”

“…”

A ripple seemed to pass through the surroundings.

The angel who had come to report turned pale blue and immediately leaped away from the scene.

Continuing at low altitude, he narrowly escaped.

Staring at him with a sense of annoyance, the angel then threw a voice filled with anger.

“What…does this mean!? He should die if the seal is broken…!!”

“However, Imblo has already cut off vital signs, and the Angel of Slaughter has been summoned. Of course, that has been executed as well…But…it seems that only The Ouryuu can read it…”

“Forget about Imblo…But the Angel of Slaughter…?”

Struggling to suppress his trembling hand, the waves around gradually calmed.

Once it had completely settled, the flying angel landed on the ground.

After checking carefully with his toes to make sure everything was alright, he looked up.

Despite being an angel, she had no halo, and her wings were slightly smaller.

Although she seemed nervous, she sensed that the mood of the archangel in front of her was calming down, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

“W-What…should we do…? Probably, they intend to awaken the other three as well…”

“Absolutely not!! This must not be allowed under any circumstances!! Our Four Heavenly Church’s greatest aspiration will be crushed!! Mobilize those who can move immediately and come to unlock the seals!! Normally, they should die if the seal is broken!!”

“Y-Yes!!”

Startled by the sudden loud shout, she jumped up and immediately flew away from the scene to carry out the order.

Watching her departing figure for a while, the archangel sighed heavily and sat down on the chair.

He combed his long golden hair with his hand, smoothing out the disarray.

But even so, the irritation and concern lingering in his heart could not be brushed away.

Just sitting there, he felt a sense of urgency as if he were being accused of something.

“Why…is the ‘Divine Seal’ being broken…?! That’s supposed to be a price to pay…!”

The seal was the price paid using “Ouryuu’s Decision.”

It is now clear what it was used for.

Right before being sealed, Ouryuu activated “Ouryuu’s Decision” and sent the wife and children of Black Tortoise to the future.

It had been unclear for many years when exactly he sent them to, but now there is a reliable source of information, confirming that they have come to this era.

With this, we can finally create that skill.

The groundwork has been laid, and all that’s left is to bring him here.

At such a time…

Ouryuu has revived.

He was clearly trying to obstruct us just like before, and given the current situation, it’s safe to say he’s already hostile.

But there’s still only one of him.

If they don’t unlock any more seals, we can still manage somehow.

“I won’t let you interfere… Ouryuu…!”

“Caw”

“…Indeed.”

From somewhere, a yellow crow perched on the desk.

It gave a single cry before flying around the cathedral.

The archangel stood up, bathed in sunlight, his yellow eyes wide open.

“To bring back those Four Gods to this world.”
