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 78
3-28. Hime-sama, help us!
Hastily, I ran towards the Oni castle.
Along the way, I see several Onifrom the Oni village evacuating upon hearing the commotion, and others armed with weapons heading towards the scene.
With that situation, the trapped and injured Oni in the destroyed houses should be alright.
Leaving them to handle that, I need to call Hime-sama.
Though it’s not yet midnight, maybe she’ll come out if I call her.
And we’re in real trouble if she doesn’t.
Finally, reaching near the Oni castle, I fire a “Explosive Fist” at the ground to propel myself forward with the blast, leap over the tall wall, and head straight to the secondary palace of the Oni castle.
I arrive quickly due to the shortest route and enter the room where Hime-sama usually comes out from the front entrance.
Opening the sliding door wide, I find Kenra sitting there, surprisingly.
His narrow eyes are slightly open, and a Katana with a matching scabbard is placed by his right side.
“Kenra-san!?”
“It’s you, Yuuzen-kun. Please wait a moment. I’m summoning Hime-sama now.”
“Eh!? You can summon her!?”
“Haha, it’s my magic.”
Kenra-san can do something like that…!
But why do we need to summon Hime-sama?
But well, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a relief!
Then, Kenra starts meditating.
With tightly closed eyes and furrowed brows, he concentrates.
After a while, the surroundings start to feel cold.
As I notice it, the chill intensifies, and blue smoke starts to rise from the tatami mat.
“… ?Soul Summon? …”
He claps his hands.
The next moment, Hime-sama, looking sleepy, appears from the ceiling.
“Mmm… What is it…”
“Hime-sama!! Help us!!”
“Huh!? What is it!?”
Being suddenly asked for help, she seems to fully wake up.
She quickly looks around and surveys the people present.
“Oh, Yuuzen-kun? Kenra aside… Why are you here? And what’s the matter?”
“Hime-sama, it’s an emergency. Someone has caused trouble near the northern area of the Oni village, and there are casualties. Uchikage-Ojichan is out on a mission, so I want you to take charge here instead.”
“Ah, I see… That’s how it is. Alright. And Yuuzen-kun?”
“Tatareba, who has information about the enemy, is badly injured and cursed with a skill called ‘Death Mark’! Hime-sama, don’t you have any dispel skills!?”
“Ugh, we need to do something about that… Can she make it here?”
“I think… it’s impossible… she seems to have fought with the enemy…”
“She’s in critical condition.”
I nod at Hime-sama’s words.
From the way she speaks, I think she might have a dispel-type skill.
I’m relieved that my assumption was correct, but I’m worried if Hime-sama can make it here.
But it seems I don’t need to worry too much.
Hime-sama nods immediately and gives instructions to Kenra.
“Kenra, you’ll temporarily take charge here. Your tasks are not much different from usual. Just gather anyone who can provide medical treatment. Anyone can handle the rest.”
“I understand!”
“Yuuzen-kun, please guide me. Let’s go and see what we can do.”
“Thank you! This way!”
I jump out of the veranda and guide Hime-sama.
After making sure of that, Kenra picks up his sword and rushes down the corridor.
For now, Tatareba seems to be okay!
Thank goodness…
Now, if Hime-sama can just hold on until she arrives… we’ll be fine!
It seems like Hime-sama is following behind me, floating, adjusting her speed to mine.
Then, while floating, she speaks up.
“Yuuzen-kun, do you know who the enemy is?”
“…It was a devil who looked like an angel… which I brought from the summit.”
“An angel!!? N-No way, in a place like this…”
“Do you know something!?”
“Just a little. They’ve been lying low for hundreds of years… Yuuzen-kun, be sure to tell Uchikage about this later.”
“I understand. By the way, where’s Uchikage-Ojichan? I heard he went to the scene.”
“I just woke up, so I don’t know.”
“Ah, I see.”
I should have asked Kenra for more details…
Uchikage-Ojichan might have been affected by Kyuuri’s skill.
Ah, but Mom went to talk to him, so it should be alright.
Yeah, let’s leave that to her.
For now, I need to focus on this!
