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 186
7-6. The Situation in the Garrot Kingdom
Garrot Kingdom…
That’s where Kyurii told them about me, and the people who believed her turned hostile towards us, right? I also heard that after I disappeared, they came to investigate, and the atmosphere was tense…
What does it mean to help them?
“Uchikage-Ojiichan, what does this mean?”
“Since the people ofGarrot Kingdom conducted their investigation here, I’ve spoken with Sreiz, the King of Garrot, several times to have him investigate the angels.”
“Hmm, I see.”
Houen-san nodded in admiration. Sreiz must be praised for pursuing the investigation despite the strong hostility from his own citizens.
However…
“There must have been a lot of opposition. It must have been challenging to find trustworthy people who don’t believe in angels.”
“Indeed, Houen-dono. Almost no one in the Garrot Kingdom questions the existence of angels. The investigation is facing considerable difficulty. However, a very small number of people are starting to defect from the angels.”
“Defect?”
Everyone tilted their heads at that word.
The angels have a divine appearance and enough power to fascinate ordinary humans. It was hard to believe that defections could happen in such a short time. But it seemed those who defected had something in common.
“They had children.”
“…And?”
“It seems the angels are gathering children. They take the form of accepting the children for some purpose, but since the parents can’t see them after that, those who are dissatisfied have started to cooperate with Sreiz’s people as informants.”
Gathering children…
Hmm, it seemed like Ashera-san was taken along with the children. Perhaps they are brainwashing them to completely belong to the angels or giving them some form of elite education.
Or maybe they’re using them in experiments with pseudo-skills…
If Uchikage-Ojiichan’s story is true, then it means that angels are freely moving around in the Garrot Kingdom. The people of Garrot, who are still doubtful of the angels, must find it hard to act.
“Those who doubt the angels… If we can widely spread what those angels are doing, their trust will plummet. Those who stay here will help with that, right?”
“Indeed. However, Yuuzen and Amariaz will remain here.”
“A wise decision.”
“Well, that makes sense~”
Yeah, it’s inevitable. Having a targeted person enter enemy territory would be unreasonable… They’d just be setting themselves up to be caught.
Though I’m sure I’d be fine, just to be safe…?
“So, who will go?”
“Karna and Reizen-dono.”
“Will just the two of them be enough? I mean…”
Lize-san looked at me for some reason. At first, I didn’t understand why, but I soon realized. Lize-san is kind. She’s probably concerned about separating me from my father just after we reunited. Though I didn’t know him until recently, I’d be fine…
“I’m fine, Lize-san. Thank you.”
“Hmm, if you say so…”
“Karna and Reizen-dono are skilled in stealth. There are no better candidates.”
Oh, really…? I didn’t know that…
Then, Ouren-san clapped his hands and stood up.
“Alright, let’s get moving! We know what we have to do. Let’s get it done and relax!”
“If it were that easy… I’d like to learn from your optimistic nature.”
“Is that a compliment?”
“I’m exasperated.”
“Hey.”
With that, Houen-san leapt from the veranda and flew into the garden. Ouren-san followed by creating a ‘Multi-Water Spear,’ riding it, and flying off.
“Even though Ouren-san is a dragon, he can’t fly without that?”
“He can’t fly in his human form.”
“That’s inconvenient.”
“Now, I will talk to Karna and Reizen-dono. Yuuzen, will you come?”
“Ah, yes! I want to go!”
“Alright, let’s go.”
Uchikage-Ojiichan moved out of the room while contacting the devils. As he informed them about sending Abyss, the person he spoke to, likely Dacia, seemed reluctant.
The devils must also be busy investigating…
‘Alright… I’ll send someone.’
“Thank you.”
‘If you really mean that, you could help us too.’
“Are you struggling?”
Hearing that, Dacia’s demeanor changed. She became slightly more irritable but then sighed.
‘…Well, yes.’
Holding a communication crystal in one hand, Dacia pulled out her longsword from a fallen angel.
