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 76
3-26. Nice Catch
A loud noise can be heard in the distance.
With the cries rising, it was clear that something was happening over there.
It seemed like Amariaz had chosen the shortest route and was running towards the direction of the sound.
But… it’s a bit too fast!
Hey, Mom, what on earth did you do to us!?
It’s good that our movement speed is faster, but I’m scared because I have no idea what’s going on!
Or rather, what’s happening over there!!
“Amariaz! What about Kyuuri!?”
“…So that’s how it is.”
“Huh? Did you figure something out!? Tell me!”
“Angel.”
…Huh?
What’s that?
“Angle?”
“Angel, she’s an angel. Not a devil. She was an angel disguised as a devil. I’m seeing its form with ‘spatial perception’ now, so there’s no mistake.”
“…Eh, she really wasn’t a devil!? Amariaz’s prediction was right on point!”
“Why are they here? Seriously, whyyyyy!”
Suddenly, Amariaz covered his face with both hands and began to lament.
From his reaction, it seems like he knows at least something about angels.
I’d like to know that too if possible… But for now, dealing with that takes top priority.
In the end, it seems we’ve brought something bad upon ourselves…
If that’s the case, then we have to take responsibility and do something about it.
…But is it really Kyuuri?
There are still doubts lingering…
However, with ‘spatial perception,’ Amariaz should have a perfect grasp of Kyuuri’s location, and I don’t think he’s mistaken about what he’s saying.
But a seemingly docile devil like that… I can’t imagine her doing anything bad.
While thinking about such things, we draw closer to our destination.
Amariaz, lamenting, creates a ‘vacuum sword’ in his hand and prepares for battle.
Since I’m fine without weapons, I decide to proceed while keeping an eye on the surroundings.
“Wha-!? Yuuzen-kun, use ‘Substitution’!!”
“Huh!? Eh, ha!!”
Amariaz suddenly stops and shouts at me like that.
Although my reaction was delayed for a moment, I quickly use ?Substitution? on Amariaz, taking the damage instead.
At that moment, the sound of destruction from ahead draws closer to us.
It’s a sound like tearing through several layers of house walls, with wood cracking and things inside being blown away, causing damage to the surroundings.
Since it’s coming towards us, I instinctively brace myself for the impact.
The cause of the continued destruction finally emerges towards us, but Amariaz couldn’t withstand the force and was blown backwards.
No wonder that happened!
Since it’s an attack that flew all the way from over there to here!
If I hadn’t used ‘Substitution,’ Amariaz would have been seriously injured!
But are you okay!?
Why did you try to catch such an attack!
Turning on my feet, I ran towards the direction Amariaz was blown.
Kicking aside debris, I find Amariaz and another Oni figure in the back, and I approach while creating an escape route.
“Did you have to do that!?”
“Do you know her? That’s good then. This Oni was fighting Kyuuri. I thought I might be able to get some information, but she blew toward us, so I instinctively caught her.”
“Nice catch…! I guess.”
“I never intend to catch her though.”
I quickly clear away the rubble to make space.
Since she was blown all the way from there to here, Tatareba must be seriously injured…
Thinking so, I look and see her bleeding profusely from her mouth.
Her armor is crushed, and it seems to be impaled in her abdomen.
There are also broken bones in her legs and arms.
I also see many cuts and bruises from colliding with debris.
I immediately try to pick her up, but Amariaz stops me.
“No. Leave her here and wait for a doctor.”
“I-Is it faster to leave her here!?”
“She’s severely injured. She has broken bones, and there’s a possibility of broken ribs and spine. Moving her could puncture her lungs or injure his organs, which would make things worse.”
“Ugh, I see…”
“For now, all we can do is stop the bleeding… Yuuzen-kun, look for bandages and medicine inside this house.”
“Got it!”
As instructed by Amariaz, I quickly searched the house.
In this situation, the owner should understand.
Amariaz carefully checks Tatareba’s condition.
HShe’s probably not pursuing Kyuuri to get information from Tatareba.
Now that Tatareba’s been defeated, we understand She’re not opponents we can beat.
I think Amariaz probably understands that too.
Then we absolutely have to help Tatareba…
After rummaging around the house for a while, I found clean cloth and bandages.
But there were no medicines in this house, so I handed what I found to Amariaz and searched the neighboring house again.
Apologizing in my mind several times, I search through the house.
It seems like the residents here have already evacuated.
It’s fortunate that there won’t be any further damage, but… I wonder if the guards Oni are heading here now…
“Ah! Found some medicine! Oh, it’s herbal medicine! Where’s the mortar and pestle? There it is!”
Since it’s already a hassle, I decide to take out the whole set and brew the herbs under the supervision of the two.
Grandpa Uchikage taught me some knowledge about herbal medicine, so I should be able to make at least a hemostatic agent.
I hurry back with it, and I see Amariaz carefully removing her clothes and stopping the bleeding on her abdomen.
she seems to have slashed through the impaled armor with his ‘vacuum sword,’ shaped like scissors.
He hasn’t removed the remaining fragments of armor yet.
“The wounds are all deep… Without healing magic, it might be tough…”
“What about the hemostatic agent?”
“I don’t think it’ll be in time. Yuuzen-kun, go get a doctor!”
“Got it!”
But will I find one!?
Damn it, I hope I have some healing skills!
Then, a faint green light enters my field of vision.
