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 86

The clouds are moving very fast.
A strong wind races through the open sky, making a booming sound.
However, this sound can only be heard if you’re actually flying through the air.
Flying in such conditions is somewhat dangerous.
However, there are times when one must fly no matter what.
Spreading large wings and flapping them, gaining momentum to resist the headwind.
Gliding forward, catching the wind with wings spread, rising repeatedly, managing to fly through the strong wind.
It would be preferable to take it a bit easier, but walking on the ground is not their strong suit.
Flying through the air is faster, and in fact, they spend more time flying than standing on the ground, so it’s more comfortable this way.
But… in this strong wind, it’s really uncertain if they’re making progress.
Are they being pushed back each time they ascend?
They suddenly become worried and look back, but the starting point is no longer visible.
Yet, it seems they are indeed making progress.
“Ughhh…”
The intense wind strikes her again.
The collar, extending past her neck to cover her head, flaps around.
Her cloak also flutters in the wind, and although her clothes are made of stiff material, even the creases seem likely to stretch in this strong wind.
Small curved horns protrude from her head, intermittently visible among her long black hair.
Since her long hair is also flailing about, she seems incredibly annoyed by it.
“Why me…?! Why do I have to… search for them… in this… strong wind? Impossible… right?!”
Describing her as a devil would be appropriate, she flaps her wings again and descends sharply.
But today, it seems the wind is in a foul mood.
Whether ascending or descending, the strong wind relentlessly assaults her, so in the end, no matter what happens, she flees upwards where it seems safer.
If it were a tailwind, it would be manageable, but facing a headwind, her ability to fly is limited.
“Damned wind…! Dacia-sama, it should be you Dacia-sama! Not me! There must be… someone else… more suitable!”
Once again, she moves her wings.
It was last night.
Receiving consecutive communications from Dacia was extremely unusual, so Dacia was on guard, thinking something must have happened.
The prediction was spot on, as an angel had appeared in the Oni village.
Upon hearing their purpose, Dacia and Uchikage discussed and decided to send Abyss, an intermediate devil, to them hastily.
Dacia judged that if it was Abyss, who was skilled in reconnaissance, finding them would be easy.
However, in reality, Abyss is not skilled in reconnaissance.
Although she has other areas of expertise, Abyss was the only devil available to be deployed, which is why she ended up with this job.
Initially thinking it was quite troublesome, it turns out that the task is to help the son of Spirit Turtle.
Furthermore, the angels are targeting him.
In that case, it’s only logical to proceed immediately to the rescue.
“If that child were to… end up dead…! It would be troublesome, indeed!”
To be frank, the aftermath is too scary.
Dacia doesn’t know what to do, and above all, if Uchikage, who has an inherent nature, were to go berserk, nobody knows what would happen.
Currently, the anger is directed towards the angels, but if there’s no target for that anger…
Anyway!
If she doesn’t flawlessly complete this seemingly trivial but highly important mission, not only herself but also the survival of the devils seems at risk, so this time, she decides to work seriously, really seriously.
Abyss glides again and enters into the tall trees of the forest.
Here, she shouldn’t be affected by the wind, and flying should be no problem.
But this is a forest close to the devil territory.
Dangerous creatures are common here, and right now, a large mouth emerged from the forest, seemingly intending to make Abyss its meal.
“Get out of the way!!”
Just before the jaws could reach Abyss, she punches them with the back of her fist.
It should have required considerable force, as the beast was several times larger than her, but Abyss only lightly tapped it.
However, it seemed to be enough.
The beast, with its jaws aimed at Abyss, received an invisible blow to its side, and with a tremendous sound of impact, its body was sent flying.
The force was incomparable to Abyss’s punch; it was an impact that shattered all the bones in its body, snapping tall trees like dominoes.
It showed no sign of stopping, but Abyss hurried on towards her destination without even bothering to watch.
