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 61
3-11. Collapsed on the Way
” I’m back~”
“Wow… Did you bring that back?”
“I thought it might come in handy. By the way, how are your eyes?”
“I can see now, so I’m fine. From now on, I need to make sure I can fight with just ‘Spatial Awareness.'”
“There’s more to do now.”
“… It doesn’t matter what, but first, wash yourself.”
So I did…
It’s already all gooey with saliva and blood. Maybe I should just take off the top and wash the rest in the river together…
Leaving the carcass of the Shorouwo around, I decided to wash myself. By the way, the Beddrock that I had protected with the ‘Pneumatic Barrier’ seems to be fine. Amariaz had apparently exchanged the water once. It starts splashing water at me again, looking displeased.
After confirming it’s in good spirits, I sink my clothes into the river and wash them vigorously. Then, for the sake of washing my body, I’m in the middle of doing laundry in the river.
… Shorouwo’s saliva is not coming off easily.
Ugh, it’s disgusting. This might take a while.
“Oh, by the way. Why do you think that deer ran away halfway?”
“Hm? Oh, yeah, maybe the mind controlled by Shorouwo on animals wore off. The explosion… well, I think it’s because of the impact.”
“I see.”
Surprisingly, mind control seems to be easy to break. Well, considering it’s done with that smell and controlled through mind control, the release method is probably simple. But this saliva won’t come off!
“…”
“Hmmmmm… Huh? What’s wrong, Amariaz?”
“Don’t you understand, Yuuzen-kun?”
“Huh, is there something else?”
“You might want to be a little cautious… Is that something like a person collapsed over there?”
“Huh?”
It seems something is caught in ‘Spatial Awareness.’ But I don’t feel any presence. It’s strange not being able to sense anything. It feels strange to lose it after working so hard to master it.
I try to look in the direction Amariaz is watching, but all I see is bushes, and I can’t see what’s beyond them. I concentrate my senses, thinking there might be something there, but still, I don’t understand anything.
Hmm, something I can’t sense with presence alone… Relying too much on presence might be a problem in the future, so I should be careful. But I can’t just leave it unchecked. I don’t want Shorouwo or something like it hanging around.
First, I need to get rid of this saliva!!
“Amariaz, can we check a bit later?”
“I think it’s okay not to rush. It’s still alive.”
“… Still?”
“Still.”
What a suggestive way of saying it. It’s a bit scary, so I should go and check as soon as possible… Oh, it’s finally starting to come off! Maybe it needed to soak in the water for a while.
Alright, let’s quickly wash my body.
After that, the saliva comes off smoothly, and I manage to wash my body thoroughly. Squeezing out as much water as possible, I put the clothes back on.
“Okay, let’s go see.”
“Alright, alright.”
We walk towards the direction Amariaz pointed out earlier, pushing through the bushes.
Since I can’t sense any presence, I don’t know exactly where it is, but Amariaz pointed a few times, so I could quickly head to the destination.
There was a person there…!
“Huh!?”
“…”
I was a little surprised, but I quickly ran over to check on her safety. It seems she’s still breathing and not dead.
She has long golden hair and a cute appearance. She wears clothes with a black base, and the material seems a bit hard, like it’s made of some monster.
And… she has black, bent horns and small wings.
“Huh!? Horns!?”
“This girl, is a Devil.”
“A Devil!? Why is such a child here?”
“I don’t know. But Devils are supposed to eat food with magical power… I think. Well, she’s weakened, so we have to take her with us.”
“R-right! I’ll carry her!”
“…Should we leave Shorouwo behind?”
“We don’t need that…”
