Chapter 46 (2/2)
Saying that the firedrake smiled bitterly (I think)
There was a gentle light in the gaze of Agnia as she looked at her child beside her
But even with a Breath that powerful, it’s still classified as being bad at it a the firedrakes, huh
In exchange for that, this offspring dragon has the talent to becoe body of his and get in close proximity, then it’s many time more problematic for humans than a normal firedrake
“Even so, there are some daredevils that try to attack you, huh?”
《I thought the same
However, those hu abilities
It would have been dangerous for this offspring of mine alone
After I hastened there and brought do of the humans they retreated very skillfully》
“A those, was there a man named Gazaine?”
《Gazaine……I don’t recall
It wasn’t a fight where I had the time to memorise the results of 【Appraise】
There was even a devil user ast them》
“Devil user?”
《U time, but this is the first time I’ve seen one too
Judging by hoas using multiple medium level devils from the north pole, he must be quite a powerful practitioner
I don’t think that was his full power either》
Does that ainst the over 500 years old firedrake, Agnia?
“What about the others?”
《There were a few people with arasu〉written on their statuses and I’ve killed about half of them
A them there was one that had abilities that stood out from the rest of the about
Other than that, there were a few black robed es that looked like followers of the devil user
They were also outstanding ainst my Breath, so about half of them died too after all
Also, other than the few medium level devils that were summoned by the devil user―― there were a few hard to explain ones》
“Hard to explain ones……?”
《How do I say it, they had an abnormal presence
They gave off a presence different from monsters or people》
“Didn’t you 【Appraise】 them?”
《Of course I did
But,the result of 【Appraise】 was entire illegible》
“Huh…? The result of 【Appraise】, illegible?”
《As you also possess the 【Appraise】 Skill you probably know, but 【Appraise】 is when you send a faint a’, towards the internalthe response froet
The precision and depth of this analysis and conjecture rise together with the Skill level》
Hooh, so that’s hoorked
So then, I thought it didn’t use any MP, but it turns out it just uses a ‘faint amount of mana’, huh
I guess then, when that ets noticed by 【Mana Perception】 or 【Mana Detection】is when the 【Appraise】 gets exposed
《However, on those hard to explain ones the analysis and conjecture didn’t work at all
The Status screen was filled with garbage infore of time
I haven’t seen a being like that so far in my entire life》
Indeed, you can only describe that as ‘hard to explain’
“Were those ones strong?”
《No, I didn’t fight with those ones that much
But, fro
Of course the other ones that were there were considerably skillful, so only compared to them
That’s right, you, who is accoainst them, even if it wouldn’t be an easy victory》
Unexpectedly weak…maybe
If we look at it in light of the standards of this world, then to a norerous opponent, so I think it’s fairly strong…
Nnn, they are really hard grasp
“If that’s the case than does that roup of 15 or 16?
A few 〈Yatagarasu〉 emissaries, the devil user and his followers, few of the hard to explain guys
You said that those people tried to abduct your child, then got half destroyed by your counterattack, then retreated
When did this happen?”
《It will soon be about o now
After that attack I brought this offspring offor another place suitable for a new nest
And so, this was the place where we arrived at, but―― to think that it was right next to where the headquarters of those people was, I can’t help but feel the irony of fate
The proverb that says that the God of Fate is a cynical being ht perhaps be the truth》
The firedrake Agnia lets out a sound
She is probably laughing, but when this huge body that we have to look up at lets out a sound like that it doesn’t sound like it’s done by a living being
Donna even flinched
“Does that ave up your nest?”
《Is there soe about that?
We are a race that soars in the sky
We create transient nests, but as opposed to humans, we are not tied to a plot of land
If it becoe or residence to somewhere else
There is no need to voluntarily keep living in a bug infested house, right?》
I see So they don’t even really care about those people
《Then again, there are humans that revere us
They are our dependents that, in exchange for our protection, serve us in ons
If those people don’t give up on abducting this offspring of er will first befall upon will be our dependents that serve us
There is also such a reason for our departure froe》
“Won’t your dependents think that they were abandoned?”
《When the nest settled, I planned on sending this offspring of mine
These days they are ration
――Incidentally,》
Agnia turned his black eyes towards Miguel
“Eh? M-me?”
Miguel is flustered, but even I was caught by surprise by this
《You are a descendant of ht?
So why are you then a dog for a heinous organization like 〈Yatagarasu〉?》
“Wha-…eh?”
《――Answer》
“Kh…hat the hell, all of a sudden!
Don’t look down of 〈Yatagarasu〉!
I’ the Evil God-sama!
I heard that those Zkornash people chased my mom away anyway!”
Miguel ansith a red face
As I thought――it was true, huh
Miguel’s full nauel Mittelt
He got his family name from the middle name of Scarlet, Moria Mittelt Zkornash, who I met in the Adventurer’s Guild in Fauno City
Also, Moria-san said that she is looking for her son, called Miguel
With all those conditions being fulfilled, I thought it was impossible that it would be soiven name
《Your mother was exiled――I see, your mother is that red haired tord user》
“Wha-…You know my mother!?”
《Youra taboo of my dependents
I don’t understand it, but I hear that beings that herd together have laws and systems that serve to protect the herd
It’s unfortunate, but nothing can be done about it
In fact, the ones that hated your mother was a portion of the priests, others liked her dearly
Your mother――her name was Moria, I think
Moria was an excellent warrior, soof mine
Meet Moria to stay, but Moria herself accepted the proof of her sin and decided to leave the herd
I was greeted by her before she left the herd
She was holding a newborn baby in her arms that time
》
“Was that……”
Donna let her voice out
《It wasboy》
I never wouldn’t have thought that the firedrake and Miguel’s mother knew each other
In that case, I can’t keep that to myself either
“Miguel, I have met your mom too”
Hearing uel looks at me surprised
“Or rather, it seems that Moria-san partnered up withas adventurers
Moria-san said even now, that it’s her fault that Miguel disappeared
She is searching for Miguel even now
When I was abducted from Fauno City, Moria-san was also there in Fauno City”
“Mom was……she was there that time, huh……”
When the mansion of Viscount Chrebl in Fauno City was attacked, the youth group was also there
In other words, at that tiuel were in the same town
《If your mission as an emissary is more important than your bond with your
However, your mother, even when she was branded as a criminal, she always faced her sin head on
I don’t think that you, who has the blood of Zkornash in you, couldn’t do the same》
The firedrake, Agnia, said this and she sent a aze at me
I get it now, she knew about his brainwashi+ng, so she tried to shake things up frouel’s past
As expected of someone that lived more than 500 years, she is quick witted
《――Well then, with all these circumstances it turns out this place wasn’t a suitable place for a nest either》
“…are you going away?”
《If you say that 〈Yatagarasu〉 is the enemy of Atrazenec-sama, then how about I burn down the den of those people? Crow’s Nest, you called it?》
The one who reacted to the firedrake’s words was Donna
Donna stepped forward in front of us and shouted with both her arms spread out
“You, you can’t! Everyone is still there!”
《However, those are the co of mine?
You can’t really blae, right?》
“Th-that was…… they probably had some kind of reason for that!”
《Young girl of the beast people, then I ask you, what kind of reason could they possible have to be forgiven for trying to take away this innocent offspring of mine by force?》
“Uh…that is……”
Eremia stepped forward to switch with Donna, as at a loss for words
“――Evil God-sas that seeht
However, that must be because of deep, special circumstances
Firedrake-sama, please, would you believe in those special circumstances of Evil God-sama?”
《Who would believe that nonsense other than you people?
To begin with, if you say that people that are doing soht are not evil, then that means there is no evil in this world
There are some cases where the outward appearance eneral, it’s normally accepted that an evil appearance is the result of an evil true nature, right?》
“B-but…Evil God-sama…”
《Why is there a need to treat that Evil God as the only exception to this?
If there is a logical reason for that, then try and say it
The Evil God is an existence that has given power to countless evil people and ood people
On what basis is he worthy of your faith?》
“Th-that is……”
Ere vexed
《――If you don’t have a basis which is enough to persuade me, then it’s just a waste of time
I will burn down that Nest of yours andplace》
“Even if you don’t do that, we could all get along――”
Donna says, al, but
《Get along, you say? How could we get along with the people that tried to abduct this offspring of mine?
My nest and the Crow’s Nest is mutually exclusive
Further the Evil God, Monguenes, as soon God-sama, I have to burn that place down after all》
“U, uu…but…sniff“
Donna started genuinely crying
There, the firedrake sent aze
――It seems that’s really what she intends to do
How quick witted is this dragon, really
“――Could you wait a nia
Our coarasu〉
When I say comrades, I don’t mean all of the emissaries
Some of those fools that tried to abduct your child are probably mixed in there as well, but there are also those who are just children that believe in the teachings of the religious organization
If you burn those children as well, then it will be you who committed evil this time
The parents of those children will resent you
Even if they were just kidnapped by 〈Yatagarasu〉 and they just happened to be in the Nest by chance”
《――I see
You say that a parent’s love for their offsprings is the saons and humans
However, you should be aware
I can’t stand idle when I know that the beings that tried to har are this close by》
“I understand your feelings very well
I too was brought to the Nest via kidnapping
My parents are probably worried sick right about now
No, it probably won’t end up with just that
Dad andfor me desperately
So, I can iine how you feel, even if not completely”
《Then what do you suggest?》
“――I will catch those who tried to kidnap your child with my own hands
Then I will expose their backgrounds and deal with theer on your child in the future
So, would you give us some time?”
《Fumu…
Ordinarily, I wouldn’t even consider what you say, but they are words from someone that is accompanied by a fairy
Also, uncovering their backgrounds and bringing those who perforarasu〉into the light is so I can’t do as someone who is not a human
――Very well
I will leave this ar Chrebl》
Saying that, the firedrake squinted one of her eyes
A wink, maybe
Yes, this series of exchanges was done in accordance with a scenario which me and the firedrake has cooked up, a type of theatrical play
Agnia is thinking that if 〈Yatagarasu〉 will be crushed without fail, then it doesn’tit, or she leaves it to me
Burning down the Nest is certainly a method that is the least troubleso those eh that aren’t currently in the Nest
As a result, there is an undeniable chance that a part of the top brass would survive and rebuild the organization
In that regard, it’s a arasu〉for certain if I, a huation
Further to undo their brainwashi+ng, so she vividly pointed out the outward characteristics of 〈Yatagarasu〉 to those four from a third party’s point of view
That was so I couldn’t really do from my position
No, if the 「third party」 was a siood old ‘deceived by the devil’ excuse
However, Agnia is an over 500 years old firedrake, whose power the four of them experienced first hand
There aren’t ards to objectivity
Well then, let’s finish this theatrical play
“――I understand, firedrake Agnia
On the nareat ancestor Chrebl, I will not break my word”
《Umu
Then farewell, humans
Oh dear, I have to start ain now》
Agnia turned her head all the way up and breathed in deeply
The high-pitched voices of the fire spirits sweeped over the nesting place of the dragons
Agnia released a Breath right above
After the flash of light, thatmany times already today, lessened and we opened our eyes that were prickling with pain and looked up, we could see the blue sky and the sun
The firedrake and her child greatly bent their wings, then raised their large bodies up froround
Since we didn’t have anything to say to each other anyon followed her
The offspring dragon at the end glared at yaa！」 sound
I more or less knohat he wanted to say
‘I’ll re like this
Aspose
When he saw this, the offspring dragon let out a hunia
The four froroup were left behind at the botto place with their eyes cast down, some had a mortified, some a meek expression
“Haaa~ I had no idea ould happen for a time there“
“Yeah, for sure“
As I was replying to Melby with 【Telepathic Coh I couldn’t possible be tired
