Isekai Shoukan wa Nidome Desu
Chapter 25

25 Those wings, a nuisance

Holy shit, that was close. Looks like I was barely on time

I look at Alize behind me and brushed off her shoulder. The village suffered no damage, what with me sending the dragon breathflying into the sky.

Ma, master

My bad eh, for being late in dealing with it

Seeing that I went to the dragons nest, it was my mistake for not considering the risk of its owner returning. I heard of a similar story where some adventurers challenged a nest with no dragon inside, subjugated the lizardmen inside it and took the treasures out. And the moment they left the nest, they unexpectedly stood face to face with the dragon who just went out by chance. Why do these inconvenient events happen with pinpoint precision I wonder

No That cant be helped, but

Hm?

Plea- please let her down soon.

Ah

Funyaa

I remember I was carrying Amelle on my back. Shes pretty exhausted and her eyes are going round I guess she wont become useful at all like this. Well, Ill apologize for running with all my strength, but the village will vanish if I was even a little slower, so please forgive me.

I guess I should treat her to a meal Just a sec Alize, hold Amelle for me please.

I, I understandieh!

W-! Hey!

Alizes body crumbles down the moment she received Amelle. Looking at it closely, her body is tattered. It guess shes already at the point she could barely stand up.

Im sorry for being a little late in catching her

This guys a high rank species even among the dragons. You cant do anything about that, its fine

I cast the healing restoration magic . With this magic that perfectly heals every wound as it name implies, the external wounds on Alizes body vanished completely.

It should be fine with this.

Tha- thank you very much

Dont mind itSo, Im gonna kill this thing a little

Eh?

I run towards the dragon who was charging his breath again. Us having a leisure conversation is good and all, but that breath is already charged up thanks to that.

Dont you go pointing whats coming out of your mouth this way!

Gugyaa!?

The moment the dragon fires its breath, I jump up and kick its jaw up. The lump of magic power spilling from the dragons mouth once again disappear into the sky, causing an explosion.

A heat wave comes sweeping down on us, but I wont be blown away with this amount and also, the village is safe since the explosion happened quite high up in the sky.

I land in accordance to gravity and I then jump once again. At the same time I unsheath Kuromaru from my magic bag.

Those wings are a hindrance, huuh!?

I cut a wing of the dragon who was still flinching from the kick in the jaw. The hard scales were utterly useless and the large build of the dragon falls to the ground at the same time a single huge wing fell.

Grrrr

Yo, how does it feel to fall down to the same height as a human being? Oh, mister proud dragon.

I land while I shake the dragons blood off Kuromaru.

Well, if its up to me, dragons and the all are just lizards with wings grown on them, right?

Ga Gaaaaaa!

Oops, did he get angry?

Because dragons are highly intelligent, they can even understand our language. Somehow hes feeling angry. Well, its obvious though when theyre being called a lizard.

The dragon who couldnt fly anymore goes to strike me with its proud, strong arm. I intentionally dont dodge it and try catching the blow with Kuromaru. A heavy weight is transmitted to my whole body, but thats all it does.

I knew it So youre just an ordinary lizard aint ya!?

With Kuromaru, I force back the arm I caught with all my strength. With the sudden resistance, the dragon has his arm repelled and its body rises against his will, exposing his defenseless stomach.

Youre full of openings, you know.

I then release a . This time its stronger than the one in the cave.

While cutting up even the ground, the slash flies forward and bisects the dragon whose posture was broken, and vanishes into the back. I accidentally blew away both the village gate and the wall in one go, but lets get them understand that its better than the village getting annihilated.

You ended that too quickly

What, did you just get here?

Levia comes walking beside the bloodied corpse of the bisected dragon.

That Flying Blade passed right beside me when I was running with everything I had, I was surprised you know.

Aah, that was my bad

If she gets hit by that while shes not in the sea shed probably die, wont she? No well, if its her, I think she could defend it though

So, youve already solved the problem right?

Yeah, I guess. Hey Alize! Its over now!

As, as expected of master

Says Alize with an amazed voice, seeing the dragon split in two. In one of her arms, there is a fainted Amelle and her other hand is connected with the hand of a small boy.

That kid is?

There are broken houses over there, you see? This child lives in that house.

According to Alize, she helped the kid out back then when I was fighting. But her face became gloomy midway her story.

? Whats wrong?

The one who told me this child was alive was Ramell However, Ramell is

I see.

I turned towards the collapsed soldier who is somewhat separated from my sight. I can notice it from the armour, but thats definitely Ramell. But theres no presence of magic power, his life had ended.

He tried to save this child and got seen by the dragon.

Saying that, Alizes appearance was gloomy. I thought from the bottom of my heart that Im glad Amelle fainted. A relatives horrible way of death is not something you want to see.

Ramell was always brave and even this time when nobody could move, he was the only one who went towards the dragon And then

Tears gathered in Alizes eyes.

Say Alize, you liked Ramell didnt you?

Yes.

The moment she confessed, tears flowed through her cheeks.

It was at a pretty early stage when I noticed Alizes feelings. Her making a lively face when talking with Ramell is proof of that and Ramell himself likes Alize to the point of flaring up even against me.

Its an awfully bad aftertaste, excessively bad.

Say, what if Ramell is still alive would you marry with that guy?

What are you saying? That kind of fable

Never mind that, just try and answer me okay?

When I say that with a somewhat strong voice, Alize jumped up and trembled. And then, after showing a bit of hesitation, she began talking with a reluctant look.

I would like to marry him. Its impossible to do it immediately, but I would have liked to be in a relationship with him.

So you like him that much, right?

Yes.

fuh, theres no choice then if its like that.

Is that so, then wait just a little. Because Im going to be waking up Ramell now.

Eh?

If I use this fella Ill have a shot at it.

While saying that, I take out a test tube like thing with some liquid out of my magic bag.

A handmaderesurrectionmedicine, its quite effective you know?

Telling them I need a place to use the medicine, I went to the forest outside the village while carrying Ramell. It was quiet within the forest where the lizardmen have disappeared and I hear nothing but the rustling of leaves with the exception of the occasional the birds voice Im hearing. Nobody was following behind me. Its because I also told them there are several considerably important steps when using this medicine and I dont want those to be known.

After taking enough distance from the village, I lay down Ramell on the spot. And then then medicine I was holding I wouldjokingly throw it away.

Like theres such a convenient medicine.

When mentioned the resurrection medicine and showed an appropriate potion, Alize ended up being deceived and made a glad looking face. I cant say I felt guilty when I saw that. Levia had some thoughts about my appearance, but it looks like she noticed the lie.

Well, reviving him is a fact, but I dont really want to use it though.

Despite grumbling to myself, I place both of my hands in front of my body.

Wake up
