Chapter 46 (1/2)
46 Dialogoue
We turned back on the path that we first went down then ca to the inner parts of the nest
We thought of going through the big hole that the parent firedrake opened, but humans don’t consider a space with four still red-hot walls a path
Looking at it like this, the hole that the offspring firedrake opened towards the outside soo looks like child’s play
This one has almost twice the diameter and what’sdown and hardening within a few minutes
Indeed, with only thisyet
Then again, it has enough firepower that would’ve been enough to kill us instantly without Beck’s 【Protect】
This ti 【Stealthy Steps】, but I can’t say we don’t feel nervous this time either
The reason for that is that the offspring firedrake is follohile keeping an eye on us―― and also, beyond this point is the parent firedrake that Eremia witnessed
While soaking our 〈Yatagarasu〉 uniforms in cold sweat from the inside, we turned the corner where we turned back last time
Fro place of the parent firedrake
In the dwelling place, there were a few bonfires burning
It’s plenty bright even without 【Dark Vision】
Illue build of the parent firedrake came into view
Since it’s too big, we can only see up to its chest from here
Even with just that it’s about twice as big as the offspring firedrake
I felt that soulped
I don’t know if it was Eremia, Donna, Beck, or maybe everyone
“B-big…”
Miguel said, al
The offspring firedrake yaa’ sound behind us
As an answer to that the parent firedrake lets out a low sound
Most likely they were knock and ‘conals
We step into the dwelling place of the firedrake
“Fu-fuwaaa…”
Looking up at the parent firedrake, Donna lets her voice leak out
The parent firedrake had a body height of about 7 meters
If it extended its head, then it would most likely reach over the fortress walls of Ranzrack Fortress
Also, there was a wyvern being held in its mouth
It’s mealtime, apparently
The firedrake spit out the wyvern towards its back and turned its gaze that gave off a feeling of intelligence in our direction
《I was thinking that the fire spirits were restless, it turns out that we had some unexpected visitors》
The parent firedrake’s voice resounds in my mind
It’sits mouth too, but the words and the way itsa dubbed foreign movie
“Ca-cannibalism……?”
Donna said with her hand in front of her mouth
It was only in a small voice, but it looks like it reached the ears of the firedrake
《Cannibaliss
These are our livestock
They are living carefree lives under our protection and in exchange they consent to beco our food from time to time》
“I-is that so……”
I whispered as I was taken aback
I don’t really get the feeling of wanting to be protected even at the cost of being eaten, but if I’m told that, then I can only ansith an ‘is that so’
I guess cattle and pigs don’t run away from humans either
《Well then, humans
I have to ask you sos
Me andthat this place is far from any human residence
Why are you in this place?
Was there a community of people nearby?》
“Yes There is coround in a place not far from here”
《Why do you live in an inconvenient location such as this?
I heard that humans can’t live a comfortable life without commerce
If you especially live in a place like this then…… are you a group of sinful people that were rejected by other humans?》
“That is……”
That is exactly the case, but I was at a loss on how to answer
《Fumu…》
At the sa 【Appraise】 ca
I reflexively repel it
However, the other four besides me didn’t even realize that 【Appraise】was used on them
Only Eremia stirred a bit, but it looks like she didn’t realize what it was that was done to her
The firedrakethe Statuses of the four of the and from time to time lets out a sound
If it were a hu ‘fumu fumu’
It didn’t take long for the firedrake to think it over
《I mostly understand the situation
You are the erous one
To think that you would repel my 【Appraise】
If I underestiht have a painful experience》
The firedrake says this while observing me
“Nah, I’est”
“”””No way, no way!””””
The four of the youth group retort with perfect harmony
You all sure get along well
《――Also, the s there
If you don’t mean any ill will, then show yourself》
The eyes of the firedrake are gazing in the direction of Melby, who is currently staying on my shoulder
Oh boy
“…what should we do?“
“Can’t be helped, I guess“
After I nodded Melby showed herself
The one as surprised by Melby’s sudden appearance was not the firedrake, but the four of the youth group
“――I’m Melby A fairy, as you can see
Due to reasons, I’ with Ed currently”
“F-fairy-san……!?”
Donna looks startled and she is looking back and forth between Melby and me
“You still had an ace in the hole like that, huh, Fellow Believer Orochi”
Miguel said
“Sorry about thatShe ith arasu〉 , but the top brass of 〈Yatagarasu〉 can’t see her apparently, so I had her stay hidden”
“The top brass can’t see fairies……?”
Eremia said like she was surprised
I should say that as expected of a dark elf, Eremia looks like she knows about how ‘Evil people can’t see fairies’
Looking at her expression, it looks like Donna also knows about it
“At any rate, fairies aren’t able to hurt people, so she can’t help with the Sacred Duties of 〈Yatagarasu〉
I thought it was best to have her hide her presence to avoid troublesome situations”
Even I think it sounds very much like an excuse
“I get it now
When Fellow Believer Orochi was talking to hiht?”
Ere
Sorry, Eremia
That wasto myself
Since I’ with Melby with 【Telepathic Communication】
《Nevertheless, we generally don’t attack human children indiscriminately》
“Ah, we know that
This ti into the nest without permission
Even though it was unavoidable, I also apologize for hurting your child”
I answer like that as our representative
《Those are the words of someone who is accompanied by a fairy, there is no need to doubt it》
After saying that, the firedrake looked away from me and focused on the four youths one after the other
Miguel is glaring back as a bluff, Eremia and Donna cast down their eyes, and Beck has closed his eyes to better endure the dread
《Fumu I can’t sense an evil presence from any of you
The naht you were the same as those people, but maybe you are from somewhere else…?》
The firedrake mumbled and went silent to ponder
But in those words, there was a surprising detail
“Firedrake, you know about 〈Yatagarasu〉?”
After I asked back like that, the firedrake said while observing my expression
《……you don’t look like you are feigning ignorance
Of course, I can’t say that I can perfectly read the expression of someone of a different race either》
“What Ed said is true
If I testify like this, then the wise firedrake-saht?”
The firedrake let out its voice while digesting Melby’s words
《――Fairies don’t lie, was it
I can’t doubt the words of the small one, but the truth of the situation can’t be concluded by whether it’s a lie or not
There are people that cleverly deceive others without telling any lies》
“You are very cautious, huh
Even when you have overwhel power at your disposal”
《……you who is accompanied by a fairy
We have enough reason to doubt
If you want to clear my doubts, then accept my 【Appraise】》
“…very well
However, please keep the information about my Status to yourself
Also, you will let ht?“
《Hooh You can not only repel it, but even use it yourself, you say
Very well, do as you will》
The firedrake and I use 【Appraise】 on each other
Hidden behind me, Melby also uses 【Appraise】 on the firedrake
――Gurururo!
《This is……!》
The firedrake, who apparently had successfully taken a look at my Status is shocked, but first, let’s take a look at the result of my 【Appraise】

I’m the one ants to be shocked
The reason e couldn’t interfere with the Breath before was because the firedrake’s 【Spirit Magic】 Skill is higher level than mine or Melby’s
We could interfere with the breath that happened right after we fell to the botto was probably ic】 so we couldn’t interfere with it
《I see it now You were Atrazenec-sama’s apostle》
‘Oi, don’t spoil it!’, is what I was thinking, but it seems the other four didn’t hear it
“It seeh 【Spirit Magic】“
Melby explained it to me like this
I see That way you can send your voice to even those that haven’t learned 【Telepathic Communication】
《Atrazenec-saanization that worshi+ps the Evil God?
I iine you have probably infiltrated it》
“So like that“
I also start talking with 【Telepathic Communication】
Since I was able to confirm that the firedrake also has 【Telepathic Communication】
“This firedrake-san is not an evil being
It can seeat it with 【Fairy’s Eyes】she has pure soul”
If Melby says that ht to trust her
“These children have been abducted froarasu〉
Then in the Crow’s Nest ―― in the headquarters of 〈Yatagarasu〉they underwent a brainwashi+ng education and were anization
Currently I’ them
Of course, I don’t plan on letting〈Yatagarasu〉exist either“
I briefly explain our situation to the firedrake Agnia
《…fumu》
The firedrake thoughtfully nodded, then turned to all of us and said
《――In that case, I should tell you about it
There were so of mine
Also, in some of their Statuses it was shown that they were arasu〉》
“It can’t be!”
Judging from how Eremia said this, it seems this time she said it so everyone could hear it
This coic】is extremely useful
One doesn’t have to be a dragon to use it, all you need is 【Telepathic Coic】, so Melby and I can also learn to do it if we practice
When we get back to the Nest it’s special training time with Melby
“Perhaps……the reason why your child has learned 【Stealthy Steps】 was because of that?”
I thought it was because it was targeted by humans that it learned to hide its presence, but
《No, this offspring of
Although it’s rare for a dragon, it seems he has an aptitude to hide his presence and sense others
In turn, he is ith Breath in spite of being a dragon》
