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 68
3-18. Mountain Stroll
We are confident that we know this forest better than anyone else because we come here every day.
Getting lost is absolutely impossible, and even if it were to happen, with Amariaz’ skills or my sense of presence, we could completely grasp the way back, so there’s no need to worry at all.
I walk at the front, followed by Uchikage-Ojichan and Kyuuri, and Amariaz is at the rear.
Even though he’s constantly vigilant… even if I were planning something, I wouldn’t show my tail.
Well, with Uchikage-Ojichan around now, everything should be fine.
The area we are walking through is where Uchikage-Ojichan and I used to go fishing for treasure fish. There are many small stones, and large rocks are scattered around.
The place where I first activated “Explosion Fist” is vividly remembered… I guess.
As we approach the river, the wind gets stronger. It seems to be a wind passage, making it very cool in the summer.
Glancing at Kyuuri, she is looking around curiously. This place might not be unusual, but for her, who has lost her memory, it seems to be a good stimulus.
There are no signs of her memories returning yet, though.
“…Wow…”
“Do you remember things like rivers and mountains?”
“Yeah.”
“Then, let’s explore this area today.”
Saying that, Uchikage-Ojichan slowly approached the river.
Kyuuri followed him.
I watch them go and look at Amariaz. He has the same puzzled expression as before.
When he notices my gaze, he looks up and comes closer.
After sitting down right next to me, he raises a concern.
“Is it okay to let her regain her memories?”
“If it helps clarify good and evil, why not?”
“Hmm… Don’t give me answers that are hard to reciprocate.”
If Kyuuri regains her memories, there should be a lot that becomes clear. Above all, it’s the quickest way.
However, it’s also true, as Amariaz said, that we don’t know what she might do once her memories return. If she turns out to be something wearing a devil’s disguise, we have no idea what might happen.
…However, if that’s the case, we should be able to defeat her as a complete evil.
If she’s a good person, then everything can continue as it is. If she’s a bad person, we can just drive her away. Even if she has skills, with Uchikage-Ojichan and Amariaz here, we should be able to defeat any strong opponent.
Well, I don’t think Kyuuri is a weird person, though. Amariaz is just overthinking it.
She seems harmless, and even if she ran away by concealing her presence, that’s a possibility too.
In any case, until her memories return, we won’t know anything. Until Uchikage-Ojichan’s friend, the devil, arrives, it’s probably fine to leave things as they are.
“Besides, Uchikage-Ojichan is trying to help her regain her memories, too.”
“I don’t know what intentions Uchikage-Ojichan has for helping her regain her memories. There might be deeper reasons, or it might be shallower than our thoughts.”
“I don’t think Uchikage-Ojichan has shallower thoughts than us…”
“That’s true.”
Amariaz stands up and follows the two.
I follow them from behind.
Is Uchikage-Ojichan trying to help Kyuuri regain her memories because he heard something from his friend, the devil?
Well, even if he didn’t hear anything, he would probably do this. He didn’t tell us the details of the conversation.
Anyway, I can’t figure it out now, so it’s probably fine to just observe for now.
Thinking about these things, as I head towards the two, I see Kyuuri looking curiously at a blue flower blooming alone in the forest.
She touches it and strokes the petals.
“It’s a magic herb. It can be used as an ingredient for mana potions.”
“Mana?”
“It’s what you need to activate magic.”
“I see…”
She gains knowledge and continues to gaze at the magic herb with even more interest.
Yeah, she doesn’t seem much different from an ordinary girl when you see her like this. Well, Devil girls are a bit more vigorous, though…
Are devil girls generally refined? I don’t know because I’ve only met Kyuuri.
“How about it? Does anything seem to come to mind?”
“Um, not really…”
I asked, but Kyuuri thought for a while and then shook her head.
It seems that just this isn’t enough for her to remember anything.
I knew that, but there’s no established method to regain memories, and it depends on Kyuuri.
It seems that we need to keep watching for a while.
We continued to stroll through the mountains for a while, but Kyuuri didn’t remember anything in the end.
As the sun rose, and lunchtime approached, we decided to return to the Oni village.
Maybe if we eat something delicious, it will trigger the return of her memories?
…Speaking of which, what do devils eat?
