Chapter 58 (2/2)

「Ku…, stand firm! If we don’t defeat it here, next it will cause damage to the neighbouring villages and towns, and even the Royal Captial you know!」

「FUHAHAHAHAHAHA! It’s useless, useless useleess! Prostrate yourselves before this Demon King’s manservant number one!」

Oh? My body can move…? It doesn’t hurt, anywhere…?

I should’ve been on the verge of death after being injured by the dragon’s tail…?

Then, that was…… it can’t be, real…?

「GYAOOOOOOOOOOO!!」

DON DON

「SHUT UーーーーP!!!」

To clatter noisily besides a person when they’re seriously thinking…!

「Ufufufufufufu…. That’s right, in the first place, these guys were also the cause… As well as the appearance of that self-proclaimed G.o.d-sama (lol), if we’re to speak of the source, it was because of this self-proclaimed Demon King’s cowardly surprise attack. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have received this curse in the name of a blessing…. Fufufu, it’s fine if I give you, a punishment, right…?」

I stood up while swaying, drew out my weapon, and approached the dragon + the self-proclaimed Demon King.

「! You! It’s dangerous! Step back!!」

Although a man who wore armor and a helmet said something to me, I ignored it.

「Now, self-proclaimed Demon King…… are you prepared…?」

For the current me, I feel I wouldn’t lose even if the opponent is a dragon. Could I be a sort of tripped state?

「mu, the black haired la.s.s huh? You, should’ve died…?」

byuo

Although the forelegs of the dragon approached, it was opposed by a defence boundary I spread out and obstructed it.

「mu? A magician huh!?」

DON DON

The forelegs’ attack came many times, but the defence boundary prevented it from moving an inch.

「Ufufufu, it’s useless you know? If you don’t behave yourself, you’ll be punished, okay?」

「GURUAAAAAAAAAA!!!!」

BOOM!

A strike from the tail, that had driven me into a brink of death in a single blow, approached.

「fu.」

zashu

「GYAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!」

From my single  swing, the tail which was aimed at me was cut from the base and flew off.

「Ridiculous!! To cut its tail flying in a single blow!!?」

I could see the self-proclaimed Demon King’s surprised expression.

It’s said that a scale of a typical dragon is harder than iron, and its skin is also harder than rock. Because with that single blow, with a diameter of three meters furthermore, its tail was cut off, it’s natural to be surprised.

「Ufufu, didn’t I say it? If you don’t behave yourself, you’ll be punished…」

The me at this time, somehow felt like I was able to naturally do it11. When I thought about it afterwards, could this power be an effect of that 「weapon’s blessing」 that self-proclaimed G.o.d-sama (lol) talked about?

FLAP FLAP

Perhaps it was the result of cutting off its tail, the dragon grandly flapped its wings. Could it be planning to temporary escape to the sky?

「Since your punishment has yet to end, I won’t let you get away you know?」

I quickly swung my katana.

「GUGYAAAAAAAAA!!!」

One of its wings was quickly cut off, and the dragon that began rising, awkwardly tumbled down to the ground.

Nevertheless, the dragon struggled violently and tried to trample me with its foreleg.

Of course, that sort of desperate attack wouldn’t hit me.

「s.h.i.+.」

I approached the place where its foreleg were raised, flashed my katana, and sliced it off from its base.

Even so, it was persistent, this time it opened its mouth and tried swallowing me, so I sliced off its head.

Without even a death cry, the dragon which had its head dropped in a single blow, while grandly trembling several times, gradually stopped moving.

「Ridiculous…… a Lesser Dragon exceeds S rank you know…? For this sort of child do it alone, furthermore, the way she defeated it…」

The armoured man, who called out to me in the beginning, said something while groaning.

But leaving that aside, that self-proclaimed Demon King. The self-proclaimed Demon King’s punishment has yet to end.

When I raised my head and looked at the back of the collapsed and unmoving dragon, the figure of the self-proclaimed Demon King was spread out as if he was clinging there. It appears that he fainted from the impact when it flew up and fell. To faint from that degree, how weak ne.

But at this rate, I won’t be able to punish him. While I was still standing around the dragon, I decided to request the armoured man.

「Excuse me, because the self-proclaimed Demon Lord is laying on the dragon’s back, could I have you take him down?」

From my voice, the dumbfounded armoured man started moving as if he came back to his senses.

「Ah, aah, understood. Oi, you guys! How long are you going to stay engrossed!? Hurry up and restrain that man who calls himself the Demon King!」

fumu, it appears that that armoured man is the commander of this group ne.

From the armoured man’s voice, the other men hurriedly began moving.

Lines

G.o.d’s lines are pretty hard to translate with his accent

1. いえ、頭は薄そうですよ？

2. そんな簡単に死んじゃうんですか！？そのお詫びに転生って…。

3. いやいや、あのような失敗は滅多に起こるものではない。

4. じゃから（仮）じゃなく、正真正銘の神じゃと言うておろうに。

5. じゃから違うと言うに…。さっきも言ったじゃろう？

6. ……この自称神様（笑）め、簡単に言ってくれましたね…？

7. そんなこと望んでなんて……あ、今笑いましたね？わかってて言ってるでしょう！？

8. それだけでは可愛そうじゃからの？

9. ほれ、そろそろ時間じゃ。次に会うのはお主が死んだときかの？ではの」

10. いやだって、今でさえ子供に見られるのに、これ以上成長しないなんて……ねぇ？

11. この時のわたしは、なぜかそれが出来て当然、と感じていました。
