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 197
7-17. Takeaway
After the three of us listened to the devil named Iubora, we returned to Oni Castle.
Since it didn’t seem like something only the three of us should hear, we decided to call Amariaz and Lize-san to have Iubora share the information.
We still don’t have much information about the angels.
Therefore, it’s better to share any information we have, no matter how little.
So, we gathered in a room to listen to Iubora.
But… as soon as Lize-san saw Iubora, she burst into laughter.
“Ahahahahahahaha!! Ahahahaha!! I-Iubora, ahahaha, what is that!! You’re like a manju! A manju*!!” (*Bean Cake & Pie Dumplings)
“You bastard…!”
“Manju!”
“I’m going to kill you!!!!”
Knowing Iubora’s original appearance and personality, seeing him in such a funny form must have hit Lize-san’s funny bone.
Seeing her laugh so hard made it hard for me to keep a straight face.
But if I laughed now, I’d definitely get scolded.
I had to hold it in… hold it in…
“…”
“Amariaz, are you okay?”
“This is tough… kukuku…”
Don’t laugh, okay?
If you become the target, we won’t be able to move the conversation forward.
Uchikage-Ojiichan grabbed the shouting Iubora and placed him on a candle holder without the candle.
“It’s a kagami mochi! Ahahahaha!” (Mirror Rice Cake)
“I’m seriously going to kill you!!”
“More like a butsudan, though.” (Buddhist Altar Temple)
“That too!!”
“What the hell is that… I can tell you’re mocking me though!!”
Lize-san continued to tease, and Iubora kept getting angry.
The conversation isn’t progressing at all.
Amariaz seemed to get used to it and stopped trying to hold back his laughter.
Well, if it happens this many times…
But I’d really like to move the conversation forward.
I looked at Uchikage-Ojiichan to prompt him, and he gave a small nod.
“Lize-dono, enough of that.”
“Ah, that was funny… I haven’t laughed like that in a while.”
“I’m going to kill you one day…”
“You can’t beat me, though.”
“Grnnn…”
“So, Iubora, tell us about the angel you fought.”
“… Tch. Fine.”
Iubora reluctantly swallowed his remaining words.
After clearing his throat, Iubora began to share information about the angel he fought.
“In simple terms, it was nearly immortal. No matter how many times I killed it, it would come back to life. But it didn’t revive in the end.”
“Did you confirm the body?”
“I tried to, but then I was attacked by the next angel. Luckily, I had already split my main body. It took time to transfer the power back from the clone, so I couldn’t fly.”
“So that strange presence was that. You forcibly pulled your power back, didn’t you?”
“Yeah, and that’s why I’m like this. I’ll probably be back to normal in two days.”
Um?
I understand the angel had near-immortal power, but… what are they talking about now…
“Amariaz, did you get it?”
“It’s about transferring power from the clone to the main body, right? I think one of his abilities is cloning, but he needs to put a lot of power in the clone to fight. So the main body is very weak.”
“… Huh?”
“In other words,”
Amariaz thought for a moment and then quickly explained.
“It’s like a puppet. The puppet needs its whole body to fight, but the puppeteer only needs to move the strings. In his case, the clone is the puppet, and the main body is the puppeteer.”
“Ah, I see.”
“The clone needs about ninety percent of the power to be durable enough to fight. So when the clone was defeated, the main body escaped. Now he’s in the process of pulling back the ninety percent power he put in the clone.”
That makes sense.
So Iubora collapsed there because he was exhausted from transferring power back to his main body.
And the strange sense of evolution was because Iubora was forcibly returning the power to his main body.
Well, if such a small manju suddenly stored a lot of power, it would be scary.
No wonder it felt weird.
So… an immortal angel…
“Anything else?”
“The angel’s name was Altez. He said something about being one of the archangels. The techniques he used weren’t very strong. Just extending light needles and such. Also, his defense wasn’t that great. His martial arts were so-so.”
“I guess his power was consumed by his immortality skill.”
His skill was strong, but his physical abilities were low.
Well, that can happen.
“…”
“? Amariaz, are you okay?”
“H-Hey, Yuzen-kun…”
Amariaz covered his mouth and whispered to me so only I could hear.
“Did he just say Altez…?”
“… I think so.”
“That’s one of the first angels I created…”
“… Huh?”
