Chapter 457 (1/2)
16-51 Guardian Dragon
Satou here In ons are said to be equal to Gods, an existence that slays Gods That it's been de] monster must be because the popularization of home RPGs, no?
“Cross over the e and it's tropic”
This is normal in a world where climate is controlled by City Cores, but I just can't brush off the fantastical feels
After leaving Tokiswolk Kingdoot out of the long and narrow dom
It's a curiously hot country with subtropical-like vegetation
“This looks like a good country with lots of meat around”
“Woulda been fun if they were a wee bit stronger”
“I'd love the deck to be a bit wider too”
Liza, Rusus and Fifi who had been dealing with flying ave their own subjective impressions each
“Satou-sa from one o'clock direction”
A voice ca tube from the cockpit
The Ride Beast isfor us, but I don't think it'll suddenly attack without warning
I look at one o'clock direction
–A richly-colored parrot?
According to AR readings, it seems to be a phantasmal beast called Elder Parrot
Seeing so the parrot, I realize that it's this country's Parrot Rider
“Looks like they're frodom to meet us”
I waved at the Parrot Rider while saying that to the speaking tube
The knight appears to be hulance, but he has a lizard tail like that of Liza
Judging fro man
Checking the Map, I see that half of this country's population is that of scale-kin Lots of humans too as usual, but even then they're only 30 of the total
Following after the Parrot Rider, we arrived at a vacant lot that had been re-purposed into a temporary airport
“Huh? There's two shi+ps?”
“Did someone other than Meiko come by here?”
There are two airshi+ps with Saga Empire's emblem on them moored in the airport
A htly smaller destroyer
Looking at the raised flags, the cruiser seems to be Meiko's shi+p
“–Are you here to laugh?”
Hero Meiko derided herself while pouting
She looks pitiful with bandages all over her body as she lays on bed
According to her attendants, it appears that she went and picked a fight with the Guardian Dragon of Dragg Kingdoon, and had the tables turned on her instead
Apparently, she was thrown into the air by earth on, then she was shot by the dragon's diffused breathin her current state
Frootten quite better codom back then
The dae on her Soul Vessel seems to have been restored too, God Parion must have mended it
“We're not gonna laugh at you”
Rusus and Fifi shook their heads
“Having the gal to challenge a dragon alone is a”
“I don't like you, but I don't hate that battle obsessed part of you”
They pet Meiko's head while s
“Good grief, and I didn't oppose you to ht it…”
A droopy eyed civil official moaned
She seems to be hero Meiko's attendant
There's other civil official-type attendants around too, but all of them are unfamiliar faces
Since the previousthe divine punishment, it must have been reshuffled
A scalekin dragon priestess is also present in this room, but she appears to be a personnel of this country, not an attendant of Hero Meiko
Her face is well-featured, but rather than beautiful, the word dignified fits her more
“I wanna have a match too”
“Yeah, you just can't get enough of battles to the limit”
I got a slight headache to hear Rusus and Fifi's battle junkie-like remarks
“I shall guide you if you wish to fight the guardian dragon”
The dragon priestess easily gave her permission
“Then, I will too”
“You can't And the person over there too, please refrain from it”
Liza was eager to take part in it, but the dragon priestess shook her head as she looked at me
“Why can't Satou and Liza?”
“My intuition”
The dragon priestess replied Rusus's question
“Were these two fight, dragon-saet to hold back”
Even without considering a huge part of the dragon continent turned into barren land because the ancient dragon was too engrossed in its fight against a de
The black dragon Heiron and the lesser dragons at the eastern Siruga Kingdoht after all
“By the way, shouldn't you treat her with ic and potions?”
“Having her raked over the coals like this once a while will be a good experience for her”
I got that reply when I whispered to one of the attendants who also happened to be a Parion temple priest
Trivially, it see soa Eenerations
“Ain't that a true dragon!”
Rusus's screaon priestess led us to
Its nest is located at the peak of a sacred dom's royal capital
Although I had no plan to fight it, I wanted to see the dragon thus Liza and I ith them
“Will you secede fro then?”
“We ain't suicidal enough to fight a true dragon yep”
“It's a 『fight to the death』 instead of a 『fight to the lion”
Rusus and Fifi shook their head vigorously at the dragon priestess's question
AR readings indicate that the green dragon is a level 69 true dragon
Perhaps, it's the parent of the infant dragon that's staying with me
Liza stepped forward before Rusus and Fifi who flinched back
“Then, allow me to”
“Like I said, you're not allowed to”
The dragon priestess immediately rejected Liza's proposal
It's unusual to see Liza dejected
…Were you really that eager to fight, Liza
Suddenly, wind blows
One of the green dragon's eyelids opened languorously
That eye turned at me and stopped
『You the huirl I could son on you』
The green dragon e
Since the dragon priestess here also has [Dragon Language] skill, I can't speak carelessly here
『Yes, we have just on mountain』
『I see Is that guy still–』
Green dragon looks straight at me
『–obsessed with battles?』
『He does love to fight He was fighting gleefully in the desert the other day』
『I see That guy is still the same as always, eh』
Green dragon squinted its eyes while s wryly at my reply
The green dragon raises its head and begins to sing in an unbelievably clear voice in spite of its looks
While listening to the wonderful song, I could hear the sounds of rubbing grass
Flowers around the green dragon are growing rapidly, a variety of rare herbs and pretty flowers are bloo about
A spring was born in the center of it all, dragon spring sake with sweet fragrance gushed forth
“–Dragon Festive Song”
The dragon priestess muttered in delirium
Once the green dragon's done singing, it grew its tongue out and drank the dragon spring sake
『Have a drink It'snews about an old friend』
『Then allow me to keep you company』
I took out an especially big , drew the sake, made an air toast and put it in my mouth
–This is good stuff
It's sweeter than black dragon Heiron's spring sake, dense fragrance oozes out of my nose from inside my mouth
The others were also eager to have a drink, so I handed thereen dragon
The dragon priestess who looked the er said, “This will be the temple's treasure!”, and held it close in her boso even a sip
I asked the green dragon if it wanted snack to go along with the sake as my thanks–
『Marine products would be nice Either fresh kraken or Shell Tuna is fine』
『I have soht hales?』
『Whales? Do you s eat even my breath, and are quick to dive deep, I'm impressed you could catch them I've alanted to taste one Gimme some』
I took so, roasted theon
Everyone besides Liza was exaggerating when they were surprised at the spilling plates, but when you talk about dragon spring sake, steak on iron plates naturally has to be there
We enjoyed the feast with green dragon and went down the mountain came dusk
After hearing the dragon priestess talking about, “A huge on and was driven ahile ere going down the ht with it
They're true to their desires, or rather, those girls' people sure love to fight
