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 52

3-2. Non-Interference.

I heard some reflections from the Uchikage-Ojichan, but there weren’t many this time, as expected. Please forgive me for being slow… I feel like my body has gotten heavier than before, though I don’t know why.

By the way, Amariaz’ reflection was ‘Don’t attack allies.’ Well… that attack is something I can endure, but it would be impossible for anyone else. However, that fighting style assumes I’m there with them, so I think it’s not a bad approach. It’s a surprise attack that can catch the opponent completely off guard, and I’m fine with it.

After hearing a few reflections from the Uchikage-Ojichan, our first break of the day finally began. We all ate the lunch prepared by Mom. This has become our daily routine lately.

“Hmm… By the way, Uchikage-Ojichan, those who attacked us haven’t come at all.”

“In the village where the Oni gather, it’s unlikely for someone to come so easily. I decided to shelter you here with that in mind. However, it’s a fact that if they don’t come, we won’t gather information. Sreiz is cooperating, but it seems there’s no progress.”

“Non-interference, huh… Are they being cautious?”

“Probably.”

Yeah, assassins haven’t come. It was a bit unexpected that they haven’t come for five years, but are they giving up on attacking us? Oh, right, there’s also the possibility that they don’t have information on us. But it’s probably safer to assume that information is being shared.

So far, only the Uchikage-Ojichan and Amariaz know that I have skills. Although I used my skills in battle, there wasn’t a moment to communicate. Therefore, Amariaz, weaker than Uchikage-Ojichan, would likely be targeted first.

Hmm, I guess I can’t figure it out without information. Rice balls are delicious.

Then, a ? Dark Medium?  peeked at us from the shadow of a tree. When I looked there, it smoothly emerged and sat next to Uchikage-Ojichan.

“By the way, is there someone’s soul inside the ? Dark Medium? ?”

“Yeah. Hime-sama summoned the soul.”

“Huh, is that serious?”

” ? Dark Medium?  is a bit special. However, if the soul dislikes it, it seems to leave immediately. Well, this one didn’t leave, though.”

(Nodding)

They’re nodding. It’s interesting that we can communicate through skill.

“Whose soul is inside?”

“Tenda.”

“Huh!! Ugh, cough, cough, cough!!”

“Amariaz, are you okay?”

“I-I’m fine… (The one who almost killed me…?!)“

After a big cough, Amariaz drank tea and seemed to calm down. Taking a deep breath, he composed himself.

“Tenda, who’s that?”

“My older brother. He was the 7th generation master of the Oni Dance.”

“Oh~! So that’s who teached Kenra!”

“You remembered well. But I’ll tell you one thing; Kenra has a full license for the public form, but he hasn’t mastered the hidden form yet.”

“There are two forms?”

“Yes.”

The ? Dark Medium?  that had been listening also nodded.

I chuckled. Communicating through abilities is fascinating.

“By the way, about the magical tool made by Thekil. What happened to that?”

“No progress. It’s a product made with such difficult technology. Besides, he was using skills to make magical tools. With current technology, it’s impossible to make the same thing.”

“Oh, I see. What about the parchment?”

“It’s still hidden by skills.”

“It’s holding up so well… Well, it can’t be helped if it’s made with skills.”

Hmm, without any incidents for so long, it seems like our guard might be weakening. Maybe that’s their intention, but… hmm, I wonder.

There are still many things I don’t know. The lack of progress since then might be a bit of a setback.

“Alright, thanks for the meal.”

“Thank you. Uchikage-Ojichan, what are you going to do after this?”

“I’ve cleared my quota, so today is done for me. I also have work to do.”

“Then, let’s go back.”

“Mhhhhmm~…! It’s been a while since we had a day off, huh… But what about Yuuzen?”

“Helping Mom.”

“That’s right! Well then, since I’m free, let’s spend time together.”

“Kinda rare that coming from you.”

“Once in a while.”

While talking like that, it seems the Uchikage-Ojichan has already left. He’s just too fast.

After cleaning up, I head towards the Oni village. What is Mom doing today? Oh, right, she’s repairing the waterwheel. The waterwheel is acting up, the one used to lift water and irrigate the fields. Mom, who can control the strength, seems to have been called.

If that’s the case, maybe Amariaz and I can help. Alright, let’s go!
