Reincarnated as a dragon’s egg ～Lets aim to be the strongest～ Chapter 53 (1/2)

. A Certain Village Investigation by the Female Swordsman (side Merutia)

Over a few days, Yuno and I arrived at the village near the Noa Forest.

When I inform that I want to meet the village elder, I was guided to a mansion inside the village.

Given the characteristic of the roof and the weatherc.o.c.k, how do you say this..... It gives the impression of a witch’s house.

There was a lawn in the fence with flower beds simply arranged inside, and that beside these patches of flowers were three wooden crosses that been lined up and stabbed in the ground.

Is it a grave?

Though I was sure I’ve seen a graveyard on the way…

“Um, um Merutia? If the person here plays with corpses, wouldn’t this be really bad koree…” (Yuno)

Juno tail becomes limp and drops, as she clings to hide behind my back.

When I ring the bell at the garden, the door is opened automatically.

[Come on in], is what it seems to imply.

I enter into the house while dragging the mildly frightened Juno.

There is a table in front of the fireplace, and there were two girls were sitting on either side sandwiching it.

One was a girl with chestnut colored bobbed hair, the other was a girl with bright orange hair with braids

”Apparently my guests have arrived. Milia, leave your seat.”

The girl with the braid started talking with a voice that doesn't match her figure, and the small girl called Milia lowers her head, and went out of the house.

”Umm, may I ask to meet the village elder.....”

When the girl with orange hair nodding her head in affirmation it cause Juno to as usual become very reserved.

”Umu, it is me-jya” [E.N: She talks in an ancient way. Try listen how s.h.i.+royasha from Mondaijitachi talk]

She refers to the name of Mariel, as she was a mixed-blood elf with slow growth, it seems to have a long life.

Though I’ve never heard of a story of a baby born from elf and human, it is not an impossible story.

Ignoring Juno who keeps overreacting, I continue to the story about the request and Mariel.

Three people from the village goes to Noa Forest to hunt the rock dragon, one person died, and apparently one person has resulted in going missing.
