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 44
2-30. About the Future
While the two of them chatted amicably, I patiently waited for the conversation to end.
I can’t get into the conversation at all…
Moreover, haven’t Uchikage-Ojichan and Amariaz forgotten that I’m here?
Why are they able to connect the conversation so smoothly with just talking about magical tools?
What’s a magical circuit?
They talk about mediums and sizes, but I have no idea what they mean.
And why does Amariaz know about such things!?
He’s five years old, right!!
Well, he’s not really like five years old.
Do I even need to ask about that?
Staring blankly at Uchikage-Ojichan, he finally seemed to notice me and cleared his throat as if in a hurry.
“W-well, we can talk about this later.”
“Huh? …Ah, sorry, Yuuzen-kun. I totally forgot.”
“Mmm.”
“Sorry. Uchikage-Ojichan. Why did you call Yuuzen-kun?”
“Ah, right. I thought I should tell Yuuzen about the current situation.”
The current situation?
Oh, yeah, didn’t Amariaz get exposed for having a skill during yesterday’s conversation?
The robed person… The conversation was about some group targeting Amariaz’s skill.
Then, Uchikage-Ojichan explained the current situation.
Apparently, there’s a group aiming for skills. It’s unknown where they have their base, how many members there are, and what their purpose is. However, there’s a possibility that I, Amariaz, and Uchikage-Ojichan, all having skills, might be targeted.
From the fact that they possessed expensive magical tools, it was speculated that the group opposing us was relatively large. Still, there’s much we don’t know, and it remains in the realm of speculation.
That man was either a member or a hired assassin, and he tried to take Amariaz to the god they worship. According to Amariaz, that god isn’t really a god…
Is what he said…
“Do you roughly understand?”
“Y-yeah… But what should I do?”
“Continue to strengthen yourself as before. So that you can protect yourself even in places beyond my reach.”
“Got it.”
“And then…”
Now that my course of action was decided, Uchikage-Ojichan, with a troubled expression, looked at Amariaz.
Yeah, I also had something I was curious about.
Amariaz… What about your mom?
With a heavy tone, Uchikage-Ojichan opened his mouth to ask.
“Amariaz, where are your parents?”
“They’re not here!”
“…Don’t lie.”
“I’m not lying!”
“Then why are you suddenly speaking so politely?”
“Ugh! It’s your imagination! B-but, but, but! To be honest, I think it’s safer in the Oni Clan’s village than in the Gharott Kingdom! I mean, I think I’m a more dangerous opponent than dealing with Uchikage-Ojichan’s attacks! Humans can’t protect me~~!!”
(Oh, he lived in the Gharott Kingdom.)
“Both of your parents are in the Gharott Kingdom?”
“Mmm~~!”
When I heard about the Gharott Kingdom, I remembered my mom telling me that it’s a human country with which the Oni village has had interactions for a long time. I’ve never been there, so I don’t know what kind of place it is, but it’s probably an amazing place.
But why doesn’t Amariaz want to go back?
“Amariaz, do you dislike your mom?”
“Well~… umm~… (I can’t say it’s because I don’t want to be raised by humans! After all, I used to be a god! My self-esteem is already in tatters!!)”
“Regardless, getting permission from your parents is a must. Don’t worry; I’m acquaintances with the king of the Gharott Kingdom.”
“Noo wayyy!!!?”
“Whoaa. I didn’t know.”
Having lived for a long time, it seems he knows some impressive people.
Huh?
But this flow of events, could it be…?
“This is a good opportunity. Yuuzen, I’ll show you the human world.”
“Hell yeaaah!! Yayyyyy!!!!”
“Nuuooooo!! Going to the Gharott Kingdom is confirmed!!! Noooooo!!”
“Oh, he’s running away.”
“Shizunuma.”
Uchikage-Ojichan called someone softly, and from the end of the corridor, Amariaz’s scream could be heard. Resisting sounds continued for a while, gradually growing louder. Then, a female oni with her hair tied in the back tightly carried Amariaz back.
Oh, it’s the first time I’ve seen this oni.
She feels really inconspicuous… I can’t tell unless she comes closer.
“Let me gooo!”
“We’ll just negotiate with Amariaz’s parents and take care of him here. It’s almost like forcing him, though.”
“No need to negotiate!! It’s unnecessary!!”
“It’s necessary.”
“Yeah, I think Amariaz should talk to his mom.”
“(Nodding)”
“Nuaaaaah, I have no alliesssss!!”
Does he really not want to meet his mom that much…? I’m starting to worry about meeting Amariaz’s mom…
Is she scary?
Then Uchikage-Ojichan stood up.
After stretching his shoulders lightly, he let out a breath.
“Well then, after a long time, let’s head to the Gharott Kingdom. Get ready, Yuuzen.”
“Got it!!”
“Nooooo wayyyyy!!”
Well, I ended up forgetting to ask about Amariaz’s personal situation… In this situation, he probably won’t tell me, so I’ll ask while we’re on the move!
Sigh!
I’m really looking forward to visiting the human world for the first time…!!
