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 73

Inside the house, small lights begin to glow.
Recently, luminescent magic tools have been created, and they are most widely used in the Oni village.
The biggest advantage is that they are less prone to causing fires.
Candles and lanterns often caused disasters when they fell, but with this, the number of fire incidents seems to have visibly decreased.
Moreover, the brightness is strong.
It illuminates the entire room, allowing the Oni in the Oni village to indulge in hobbies or make things they will use for work the next day during the night. They seem to appreciate this magic tool.
The path faintly illuminated by the light spilling out from the house is a bit dim.
Although it’s brighter than before, the custom of relying on moonlight at night seems unchanged.
If the moon wasn’t hidden by clouds, there wouldn’t be a need for lanterns.
On such a path, a girl walks.
Skipping with light steps, she moves towards her destination.
The destination is… the Gharott Kingdom.
There’s something she must do there.
“I found him! Found him! Found the son of the Spirit Tortoise!”
Among the four evil gods sleeping in this world, one is said to have a child.
That’s the Spirit Tortoise.
Although she’s been searching for it for four hundred years, there has been no sign of it, and she’s been wandering aimlessly for the past few hundred years.
But finally, she found it.
This will be the trigger for the development, reproduction, and resurrection of the lost skills.
If it is completed, she might be able to summon a true god.
No, if it’s a skill, she can summon one.
Ideally, she’d like to capture it herself, but facing the leader of the Oni village alone, she doesn’t think she can win.
To make matters worse, there are three skill holders here, including the son of the Spirit Tortoise.
Yuuzen, Uchikage, Amariaz.
Even if she had a skill herself, there’s no way she could beat three skill holders.
So, first, she needs to drive Yuuzen out of this village.
After that, leaving the capture of the others to the members of her camp, she should be able to easily capture one.
“Hehe, thanks to you showing me a simulated battle while ‘my’ memory was erased. Thanks to that, I immediately realized that he’s the son of the Spirit Tortoise. With that hardness, ‘Substitution,’ ‘Exploding Fist’… Clearly, he’s the child of that thing. But, Amariaz… What about him? Could he be the child of the dragon? Hmm.”
There are still many things she doesn’t understand, but he was a person the assassin she sent five years ago failed to capture.
However, her skills have hardly increased.
When she received the report, she was surprised, but in the end, a long preparation period was set without capturing him.
Well, now it doesn’t matter.
Kyuuri lightly taps her head to remember.
Her ally’s skill, ‘Conditional Memory Loss.’
A somewhat special memory-altering skill, set up to revive memories after hearing a certain word several times.
The word set this time was “skill.”
After hearing about skills at Gy?-san’s place and almost eating the treasure fish sushi, her memories came back.
She didn’t expect things to go so smoothly, but things worked out.
However, things shouldn’t go too smoothly. Kyuuri stops walking.
“Surprising that you followed me so well, even with ‘Presence Concealment.'”
“…Where are you headed? More importantly… who are you?”
Appearing before her was a Oni woman clad in ninja attire. Tatareba’s sharp, black horns glared at Kyuuri. She had a bandage over her left eye, and a magic straight sword formed by a viscous liquid substance adhered to her arm.
Observing this, Kyuuri saw through the fact that her weapon was a versatile one. However, without changing her tone, she responded to Tatareba’s inquiry.
“Kyuuri.”
“No. I don’t sense such ominous feelings from the Kyuuri-sama we knew until now.”
“Feelings? Ah, you may not sense the presence, but you can sense emotions. So, secrets won’t work on you.”
“Yes.”
“Then, let me tell you.”
Kyuuri extended her hand towards Tatareba. She immediately readied herself, but this wasn’t an attack. Therefore, before Tatareba could react, the skill was activated.
” ?Information Sharing? “
Thud.
A slight impact ran through Tatareba’s head. There were no external injuries, and there was no pain, but peculiar information was forcefully injected into her mind. It included scenes and experiences from the time Kyuuri arrived until now, as well as Kyuuri’s objectives and what she was about to do.
This information entered Tatareba’s head in an instant. There was even information that seemed impossible, causing her to be slightly unsettled.
“Yuuzen-kun…? No, no. I won’t be fooled by false memories.”
“It’s the truth. Now, here’s the problem! I want to ‘share this information with all the citizens of the Gharott Kingdom!’ Now, what do you think will happen then?”
Faced with that question, Tatareba froze. She believes this information to be false. Perhaps it’s because she always watches Yuuzen closely, making it possible for her to say such a thing. However, for those who don’t know this, what would happen if they learned this?
The child of an evil god.
The offspring of a heinous being that completely destroyed the Gharott Kingdom in the past and even devastated the devil territory. If people who have inherited this story as a legend were to easily accept it…
“…! Unforgivable!”
“Try me.”
The moment Tatareba took a big step forward, Kyuuri’s demonic wings expanded.
