197 Episode 197 "Promise of" Kelcatl the Sea Dragon "and" Cutlass the Guardian of the Dragon "(Part 1)".txt (1/2)

Okay, let's go see ”Kerkator the Sea Dragon.

The next day.

Me, Iris, Raphilia and Cutlass decided to go to the 'Sea Dragon Sanctuary'.

It's raining outside.

It's been raining in the port city of Ilgafa ever since we moved here.

I wanted to go to the 'Holy Land of the Sea Dragon' when the weather is clear, but I didn't want to make Cecil and the others wait any longer, so let's go while it's still raining.

''Yes, we're ready to go. Brother.

We're going, sir. Master.

Iris, Raphilia held up her hand.

'Oh, um, Arujidono.'

But Cutlass responded with ...... a thin voice, and he was shaking.

''Is it really okay for me to meet ...... the 'Sea Dragon Kerkator'?

It's okay. Me, Iris and Rafilia are with you.

I stroked Cutlass's gray hair.

'I'm sorry, sir. I think I'm getting scared of .......

Cutlass laid his own hand on my hand that was on his head.

It's me who said I wanted to meet you, Haiyu-sama. But ...... when it comes to actually meeting him in person, I can't stop shivering ....... Because I am ......

Cutlass stopped what he was about to say in mid-sentence.

I think he wanted to say, 'I am of the royal blood that ordered the ancient heroes to kill the dragon.

It's okay. It'll be fine.

Is that right?

If you say so, I'm a human being summoned from another world, just like the brave men who killed the Earth Dragon in ancient times.

”Even at ......, Arujido is recognized by 'Kerkator the Sea Dragon'.

I'll try to convince the sea dragon to come with me if I have to.

Iris would like to put in a good word for you.

Me too, please!

”...... I thought White would give it his all.

”It's going to be a big problem if you give it your all, White!　But thank you all for that!

With that, Cutlass bowed deeply to everyone.

Iris and Raphilia baled around Cutlass.

'It seems that they were feeling weak, not ...... gala. Somehow, even this rain is starting to seem like the wrath of a sea dragon that doesn't want to meet with the royal family ......

Cutlass said and looked at me.

'It's not a problem. I've taken precautions against the rain.'

Okay. Now, Mr. Cutlass, let's change into our bathing suits together.

Do you have a bathing suit?

The port city of Ilgafa is a warm place. You can go out in your swimsuit and never catch a cold.

But you can't go out dressed like that, can you?

There's no problem. Right, Master?

Yes. I spent the day yesterday thinking of clothes for the outside world with Iris-sama!

Okay. Mr. Cutlass, you can wipe your hands clean.

I'll help you get dressed, too.

Wait a minute. Oh, aing. Cutlass.

Yes, sir!

'Don't worry about it!　Lady Catrass is just as much a slave to your brother as Iris and the others, right?　We're all in this together!

Thank you, Iris, for ......!

”Wait a minute. A tornado caught my swimsuit. Ahhhh... ......

We pulled away from Cutlass' hand, and Raphilia took her free hand and held it close.

And so we entered the 'Sea Dragon Sanctuary' - we decided to change in the cave for now.

I wrung out my wet swimsuit and dried it at the entrance of the sanctuary.

I wiped my hair and body clean with a cloth that I had put in a leather bag. I changed my clothes into dry ones. I couldn't bring my armor with me, so I only have my sword equipped, but it's enough.

There are no demons in the warded 'Sea Dragon Sanctuary'.

It's a 10-minute walk to the large hall in the back.

We decided to have a conversation with Kerkator, the sea dragon.

''It just occurred to me, Iris,''

I don't know, man.

''Last time, with White's help, you contacted the sea dragon with the 'Dragon Seed Awakening Empathy, Dragonic Brave Sympathy', right?

Yes. It was surprisingly easy.

''And if we layered that on top of the power of the 'Holy Sword Dragon Sgoiner' and made Iris and White 'super energetic' and contacted the sea dragon, what would happen?''

I see. You've got an interesting idea. Big brother.

Iris, dressed in her priestess uniform, put a hand to her chin and nodded.

'Indeed, I think that would give us a clearer picture of the sea dragon Kerkator's presence.

''Yeah. By doing so, I think we can tell the sea dragon Kerkator that there is a 'Good Sacred Sword for Dragons' in plain sight.

I looked at Cutlass.

She's shaking behind Raphilia. She still seems to be nervous, after all.

I hope the sea dragon recognizes Cutlass as the 'dragon protector'.

''Cutlass, prepare the holy sword.

Yes. Yes, sir!

Cutlass hugged the 'Holy Sword Dragon Sgoiner'.

''What should I do?　Master?

”Raphilia, hold 'Ritogon' in your arms. If you pull out the dragon sgooner, White will start flailing around.

Yes, sir.

Rafilia said that and hugged the 'Ritogon' equipped with the 'Heavenly Dragon's Bracelet' to her chest.

''I'm ready.

''Let's begin then, Cutlass, Iris.''

”At the command of the Lord, draw your swords.

Cutlass put his hand on the hilt and scabbard of the 'Holy Sword Dragon Goiter'.

He slowly pulled it out and bared the blade of the holy sword.

''It is activated. ''Dragon Activation!''

'──── hmmm.' '──── oh, oh, oh. That's it!'

Iris's back bounces, pikun, and ”Ritogon” screams in Raphilia's arms.

As it is, Iris raises her hand straight up, towards the ceiling. And then she activates the skill,.

''I will activate it. 'Dragon Seed Awakening Empathy' plus 'Illusionary Space'!

The space in the great hall glowed.

It's the effect of Iris's ”Illusionary Space”. Right now, Iris is communicating with Kerkator, the sea dragon, through the ”Dragon Seed Awakening Empathy”. She's trying to show us this information in the Space of Illusion.

In the name of the sea dragon priestess Iris-Hafeumea, I hereby summon the 'Sea Dragon Kerkator': ......?

In the great hall, the figure of a dragon emerged.

It was a dragon with a long body and craggy horns.

But we didn't know what it looked like. Because its body was curled up, hiding its face from us. And its big head was shaking. It sounds like he's kind of growling. ......

'Thank you for responding to the voice of Iris. I am the great guardian god of the port city of Irgafa, 'Kelkator the Sea Dragon'.

”............

The 'Sea Dragon Priestess' Iris-Hafeumea, her lord, the 'Sea Dragon Brave', and her valued companions have come here to tell you something.

”............

............ That 'sea dragon Kerkator'?

..................

Would you mind showing me your face?

”I say unto you, brothers and sisters.

Yes, sir.

”Will you stop surprising me every time I see you?

''Sea Dragon Kerkator'' said as he turned his face away from us.

''What is it about you that makes you more powerful every time you speak ......?　In particular, I feel a huge life force than my bloodline ”Sea Dragon Priestess” and y, y, y, great ”Heavenly Dragon Blanchalka”. ...... Do you think the great ”Heavenly Dragon Blanchalka” has regained all its power!　What in the world has gotten you to that point: ......

「「「「 a......」」」」

The illusory ”Sea Dragon Kerkator” has its body rolled up to hide its face.

It looks like he's afraid to look directly at White.

Is it because of the effect of the 'Holy Sword Dragon Sgoiner' that White's presence has become so large ......

The holy sword's ”Dragon Activation” skill activates Iris and White, putting them in a so-called ”overboost” state. I thought that this would make it easier to communicate with the 'sea dragon kelkator', but ...... the 'sea dragon kelkator' seems to have become afraid of the activated White.

I will explain. Sea Dragon Kerkator.

”Oh, the Sea Dragon Warrior.

The sea dragon looked up and looked at me.

''Mm. I'm relieved to see you. I'm an ordinary human being. I feel awkward talking to the great Heavenly Dragon and my descendants who have become strong. ......''
