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 233
8-5. New Base Discovery
“Really?”
“Yes, it’s true. Thanks to Dacia’s efforts.”
Ouren-san’s eyes sparkled as he asked again. In response, Lurimkos-san nodded with a smile, praising Dacia-san for discovering the new base this time.
Wow…! Dacia-san actually found the base…! I was worried since Iubora-san had returned here alone, but hearing Dacia-san’s name made me feel a bit relieved.
However, Atrak-sa seemed displeased with this news.
“…Hmm, Atrak-sama, is something the matter?”
“…(lets out a big sigh).”
“Dacia did well. I was somewhat surprised he made it back in that condition, though.”
“So, you mean…”
“Dacia is currently in critical condition.”
Those words made several people nearby open their eyes wide in surprise.
“D-Dacia-san?!”
“No way, she’s seriously injured…? Can you tell us more?”
“I’ll explain.”
Huh? Wait a minute, where did that voice come from…?
From under the porch… under the porch!!
A black mass of flesh slowly slid out. It gradually took on a human form and ran a hand through its hair. Iubora seemed to be in less than perfect condition, but he felt he had to explain this matter himself, so he had forced himself to come here, though it remained unclear why he appeared from under the porch.
Is Iubora-san really okay now?
“Cough, cough!”
“Ah, he doesn’t seem okay!”
“Of course not, damn it…! I still haven’t fully regained my strength…!”
“It’s only been a day or so. But wait, Iubora-san, you weren’t with Dacia-san, so how can you explain things in detail?”
“My tablet knows everything.”
Iubora plunged his hand into his body and pulled out a tablet. It was as thin as a notebook, but it was densely inscribed with characters in an unknown language, which only Iubora seemed able to read.
Tekeris-san, meanwhile, was grinning and stroking his chin as he watched, peeking at Iubora-san’s face.
“You’ve grown, Iubora. It’s good to see you mastering your skills.”
“Nii-chan, you took your sweet time getting back… And with this tablet, if you don’t specify what you want to know, it won’t show up.”
“Detailed information becomes more challenging to decipher. Quite a hassle, isn’t it?”
“Information on angels is practically impossible to decode.”
Despite their apparent lack of enthusiasm for the reunion, Tekeris-san seemed to be enjoying himself immensely, looking at Iubora-san with eyes like a parent watching their child. Perhaps, in truth, he was a parent…
After a clearing of his throat, Iubora-san looked back at the tablet to refocus the conversation. He traced his finger along the inscriptions as he read.
“It seems Dacia-sama faced off against an angel named Arnicc. The roll of the dice wasn’t bad, but it appears she couldn’t counterattack at all.”
“That Dacia?”
“Yes. However, she managed to locate the enemy base and escape through a gate, albeit while being blown away by an attack.”
“That’s quite the impressive escape.”
“There’s nothing ‘impressive’ about losing.”
Ignoring Ouren-san’s occasional interruptions, which seemed somewhat irritating, Iubora-san stashed the tablet back inside his body. Dacia-san had created a gate and returned to the devil territory, where she was immediately found and treated. Atrak-san and Lurimkos-san only knew about Dacia-san’s return, so they understood that a fierce battle must have occurred somewhere… But they couldn’t get any details since he lost consciousness right after delivering the information.
Thus, Iubora-san’s explanation was incredibly helpful. If not, we wouldn’t know who the opponent was.
Dacia-san… against such a tough opponent… No, if what Iubora-san says is true, she probably couldn’t attack at all. Still, it’s amazing that Dacia-san managed to bring back information even in a disadvantageous situation. Although it doesn’t seem like they’re unharmed, it’s a relief that they’re alive…
“…”
“Huh? What’s with you two?”
Tekeris-san and Atrak-san had grim expressions. It gave a bad feeling, but the two nodded in agreement.
“An ordinary devil wouldn’t stand a chance against him.”
“…(nods).”
“Huh? Is he that strong?”
“He’s probably as strong as Lurimkos.”
“That’s insanely powerful!”
Isn’t that way too strong? I mean, “Destruction,” right? I don’t want to fight anyone with such a skill.
Oh, but wait, I remember something. Amariaz told me a bit about someone named Altez. He said that he had a skill called “Sky Tremor,” which was as powerful as Houen-san’s skill…
A skill that is practically a guaranteed win when it hits, which seems pretty unfair. A skill that doesn’t need aiming… While Houen-san’s skill requires contact, “Sky Tremor” is different. But I think its attack speed is slow.
Well, if I mention this now, they’ll ask, “How do you know that?” So I’ll keep quiet and pretend I don’t know.
“He can even immobilize his own body. Just be very careful of the ‘Ripple’ skill.”
“What is that? I don’t get it.”
“The range is small, but if you touch it, your body will be destroyed.”
…Huh????
