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 195
7-15. Incident
After seeing off my father, Uchikage-Ojiichan and I immediately returned to the mansion.
Father is already heading to the Kingdom of Garott with Mother…
Isn’t he acting too quickly?
I thought, but he seems to have a lot of experience, and he’s probably used to urgent tasks like this.
Ah, when will I see him next?
I think Ouren-san and Houen-san went to the base held by the angels.
Abyss-san is supposed to be dispatched from the devils, so it should be okay to leave that to them.
If those two can’t get anything, then no one else would be able to do anything either.
Well, it’ll be fine!
“Uchikage-Ojiichan, what should we do?”
“We wait until we receive information from the devils. We don’t know the enemy’s movements or their base yet, so it’s foolish to spread ourselves thin.”
“I see…”
We can’t fly or anything.
Only one of the four remains here, but Lize-san was really strong too.
Well, Uchikage-Ojiichan is here, and there are many other strong oni as well.
Even if the angels attack, we’ll manage!
It’s best if that doesn’t happen, though.
“I hope Father and the others are okay.”
“There’s no need to worry about them. Especially Reizen-dono. He has the same constitution as Yuuzen and is very tough, only Ouren-sama can damage him. Houen-dono is immortal, and Ouren-sama is the strongest among them. Are you still worried?”
“But the opponent is an angel with skills. An angel with skills like Ouren-san might appear.”
“True, we can’t rule out that possibility.”
Uchikage-Ojiichan nodded in agreement without denying it.
But then he quickly smiled.
“But, if the opponent isn’t that strong, it wouldn’t be interesting.”
“Um, Uchikage-Ojiichan, could it be that you’re really enjoying this situation?”
“….”
When I said that, he smiled even more contentedly.
Don’t laugh!!
I can’t find this situation fun at all!?
Peace is the best, you know.
Well, I understand we can’t afford to say that now…
“If you spend hundreds of years without an equal opponent, you’d feel the same.”
“I don’t want to feel that way.”
“And now, we have to move troops. Using my head to find the opponent’s weaknesses suits my old habits. Hence, I get excited.”
“Uchikage-Ojiichan, you’re old enough, you should really restrain yourself a bit.”
“What are you saying, Yuuzen? Ouren-sama, Houen-dono, Reizen-dono, and Lize-dono have awakened. How can I, who have accompanied them in countless battles, not get fired up?”
“Think about your age!!”
I kind of understand the desire to meet expectations, but still!
Uchikage-Ojiichan, you could die any time because you’re very old among the oni!?
You’re the oldest!
I appreciate you using your head to devise strategies, but please refrain from physical action!!
Even as I said that, Uchikage-Ojiichan just laughed heartily and didn’t take me seriously.
Fine.
I’ll ask Ouren-san to tell him to restrain himself when he returns.
“Hm?”
“Did you notice?”
“Yeah, what is it?”
There was a strange presence coming from a direction.
Uchikage-Ojiichan and I, both sensitive to it, decided to head towards the source of the presence.
Hmm, what is this?
It’s not dangerous or an intruder…
It’s like something that was always there is about to change…
I can’t explain it well…
“Uchikage-Ojiichan, what do you think this is?”
“It feels like something is changing. I don’t know what it is, but such a distinct sense of unease usually doesn’t bode well.”
“That’s true…”
Hearing that, we had no choice but to hurry…!
As I started running, Uchikage-Ojiichan also began to run.
We jumped over the walls, ran on rooftops, and leapt over the river in one go.
Our destination was the castle Oni village.
There are several large gates to enter the castle town, and the sense of unease was outside one of those gates.
It took a bit of time, but Uchikage-Ojiichan matched my pace.
Thanks to my training, I wasn’t out of breath, and Uchikage-Ojiichan seemed a bit impressed.
And then, we arrived at the scene.
Just outside the gate of the castle town.
There, the source of the unease lay.
“What is this…”
What we found was a small white bird.
