237 Episode 237 "Returning To The Port Town Of Irgafa And Proposal Of" Kairyu Kerukatoru "".Txt
「「「「「「 I'm home! 」」」」」」
We returned to the port city of Ilgafa.
We parked our carriage in front of the house and then opened the gate.
The sound of the poorly built gate opening with a creak makes me feel at ease.
It really does make you feel like you're back home in this world.
We got a lot of things on this trip.
Information on the missing alchemist (renkinjutsushi).
Information on the town where wizards and alchemists gather.
And the "Dragon Magic" extracted from the Demon King's Orb.
As for the first two, we should consult with the saint.
The most important one is the Dragon Demon Power.
I'll give this one to White, who has a bracelet on his arm. Just to be sure, have Kerkator attend the event.
But first...
Let's just take it easy first.
I'll take care of my stuff. Nagi and the others take your time.
'Aine is going to make a cup of tea. Nah-kun and the others need to rest.
Iris will report to my father. Please make yourselves at home.
I'm going to take a bath. You are all to be warmed up.
"...... bath. Ba in the bath. ......
'Well, well, well, noble girl, are you blushing? Well, I was just going to retire to the bathroom and relax.
Master has granted me an hour's rest!
That's what I decided to do.
The next day.
I was at the lord's house, meeting with the lord of Irgafa.
''It seems that Metekal's martial arts tournament has been cancelled. So there won't be any more 'Maoukou Deficiency Syndrome'.
Thank you. I'm so relieved.
The lord patted his chest with a hint of relief.
Since we headed to Metekal, the 'Demon Lord Deficiency Syndrome' hasn't happened.
But it seems that the lord was still worried about it.
All of a sudden, the whole town was saying 'Demon King isn't here! "The Demon King's Army is gone! I wouldn't feel safe living with someone wielding a weapon like that.
I'd like to share something with you.
The lord said.
''The information I received yesterday on a fast horse is that Count Kervis (Hakusaku), who was hosting the ...... 'Martial Arts Tournament', has gone missing.'''
Is that the man who's also the lord of the northern town of Hermilt?
'Yes, sir. It's been officially announced, and now they're getting ready for his eldest son, Kamildo, to take over the title of Earl.
...... I see.
I wonder if he was depressed by the loss of the martial arts tournament.
Is that why he disappeared (shush) ...... or something?
Oh, well. We'll have more information soon.
I'd still be comfortable having someone I trust at ...... watching the situation.
After a while, the lord bowed deeply.
''The reason I gave you the 'Metecal Sightseeing Tour' was also meant to let you come and see what the martial arts tournament is like. Now that you have reported to me, I can rest assured that I will be able to govern Irgafa.
No, no, no. We had a good time, too.
I'd love to give you your reward.
A reward?
'Yes, sir. Your information will be worth it.
...... Hmmm.
I look at Iris, who is sitting with me.
Iris nodded with a satisfied look on her face.
At the same time, a message arrives through True Consciousness Sharing (Mind Linkage True).
Please take it. The reward is also included in the tour's budget.
I see.
If that's the case, I'll take it.
In that case, we would like you to tailor our clothes for us.
I said.
During our trip, Rita once sent me a video of herself in a dress.
It was taken at Leticia's mansion, and in the video, Rita was in a very cute pose.
Next to her, though, was Leticia in her underwear, in the same pose.
Of course, I saved that one as a permanent, undeletable video.
Watching that video made me want to see everyone else in their dresses, too.
I'd like to see Rita in a custom-made dress of her choice, not a borrowed one.
Aine, Iris, Cutlass, and of course, Cecil and Raphilia in the Saint's Cave. I wanted to see them all dressed.
'Tailoring the clothes, sir?'
The lord has a strange look on his face.
''Yes. There are nine outfits in total. Asking for the wishes of the person who will be wearing it, it will be custom made. Is it possible on a budget?''
Yes. I can handle that much.
So that's how you'll pay me. You don't have to do it right away. I'm going to go get them now.
I understand. I'll call a dressmaker.
The lord stands up.
The 'Metecal Sightseeing Tour' and information exchange was over and we left the room.
'Oh, brother. Iris was surprised.
On the way back from the lord's house, Iris took my hand in hers and said.
''Since it's a reward from my father, it could have been anything my brother wanted.
That's what I want. I want to see you all dressed up, because I want to see you all dressed up.
But he's nine, right?
Yes,
''So big brother thinks that Shiro-sama will be awakened by the 'Dragon Demon Power' this time?
I hope so ...... and even if not, it's a pity that White is the only one left out of the group. I want to be ready for it to be born at any time.
That's my brother!
Iris squeezes my hand.
Then let's take a break and go to the 'Holy Land of the Sea Dragons'. You are going to give Mr. White the 'Dragon Magic Power' there, right?
''Yeah. It's time for Iris' 'Dragon Seed Awakening Empathy, Dragonic Brave Sympathy'.
Yes, sir!
With a big smile on her face, Iris raises her fist to the sky.
''This Iris-Hafeumea. Wherever 'Sea Dragon Kerkator' is, I will call him to the 'Sea Dragon Sacred Land'!
And so, that evening.
Me, Iris and Shirou in our egg state had come to the 'Sea Dragon Sanctuary'.
''Uh-huh! That 'dragon magic power' is definitely from the 'Heavenly Dragon Blanchalka'. There's nothing unusual about it. It doesn't matter which Heavenly Dragon's Egg it is!
The phantom of the 'Sea Dragon Kercator' said in a trembling voice, ''This is the center of the 'Sea Dragon Sacred Land'.
This is the heart of the "Holy Land of the Sea Dragons".
I was in the usual room that is connected to the ocean, and Iris and I were talking with the Kerkator.
With Iris's "Dragon Seed Awakening Empathy", I can contact Kerkator from the distant ocean.
That's why I'm creating an illusion of Kerkator in the "Illusionary Space" to make it easier to talk to him.
'It's good. So it's not a problem for White to eat it?
I let out a breath of relief.
'I was worried about this magic because I heard the alchemist had tinkered with it.
"It appears to be uncontaminated. It appears that the magic was only used to move the item.
Thank you. "Kerkator, the Sea Dragon.
"...... That's fine.
'Sea Dragon Kerkator' shook his head.
"You will resurrect Lord Tian Long Blanchealka here, won't you?
Yes. - I will.
"...... Mm. Then I must purify myself!
The sea dragon Kerkator reared its huge head and announced.
''From now on, you will be on a 30-day journey. "We will begin our 30-day journey in the cold northern sea...
It doesn't matter to me, Mr. White, it doesn't matter to me.
I don't mind.
I heard White's voice from the Tenryu no Armband.
I thought it would be better if you and your father were together.
I just wanted to ask Kerkator to check the 'dragon magic' and rent a place while I was at it. If White were to hatch, I thought this place with the magic of the sea dragon would be a good place to do so.
As the 'Sea Dragon Priestess', Iris wished for it too.
'...... Ummm. Okay.'
He still seemed to be troubled, but the vision of 'Sea Dragon Kerkator' nodded to me.
I took out the "Dragon Magic Power" from my luggage bag.
It's a beautiful crystal of magic power extracted from the Demon King's Orb.
"The Demon King's Orb, are you still there?
"We are at .......
A voice came from the Dragon Demon Force.
It was the voice of the Demon King's Orb's consciousness body.
''Please feel free to use the ...... magic power. I will only leave my ...... consciousness within this crystal body ......
It's okay.
In The Bracelet of the Heavenly Dragon, White said.
I thought White was only going to take your magic. I thought I could at least leave your consciousness inside the crystal body. I thought you'd want to stay and give my advice!
"...... Tenryu, sir.
"Then I'll have the magic. Dad!
Okay, okay. Okay, White, go ahead and do it.
I held the crystal of the Dragon Magic, and Iris held the Bracelet of the Heavenly Dragon as a sacrifice.
In this way, we brought the "Dragon Magic Power" and the "Bracelet of the Heavenly Dragon" - more precisely, the egg part of the bracelet - closer together.
''Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Kerkator screamed.
The light filled the Holy Land of the Sea Dragons.
The great magical power that originally belonged to the Heavenly Dragon Blanchalka was released from the crystal form of the dragon magic.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
''...... Oh. Tenryu-sama's magic power will ...... turn into its original form. ......
"Mogu-mogu. Is it good?
Eventually, the light disappears.
The crystalline body of the 'Dragon Magic Power' shrank to the size of a thumb.
The "Heavenly Dragon's Egg" that has swallowed all of its magic power is beating small.
And then...
Pow!
Okaasan! Okaasan!
A figure-sized (about 25 cm tall) White hugged me.
...... is what?
...... White. What does it look like?
''Ehehee. I thought I was a bit short on magic!
'Could it be that it's a magical body, like Leggy and Fynn's?
Yeah, that's right! But this way you can touch your father and mother!
White happily rubbed his cheek against mine.
She dances on my shoulder, then jumps onto Iris's shoulder.
He's holding onto Iris' earlobe, kissing her fluffy cheek, laughing.
'Ehehe. I'm happy. It's good to see you. Daddy, I'm with my mommy!
''You lacked magic power in this crystal form. ......
The Dragon Demon Power was the densest crystallization of magical power we've ever obtained.
But it wasn't perfect.
That means that the rest of the magic power is in the town where wizards and alchemists gather.
'But, but...' White has acquired new powers!''
White is smiling happily.
I thought that's why White is happy. You did a great job!
Thanks, White.
'I'll be more useful to you in the future, Otto. I thought you'd like that!
So let's see what you've got.
"Yes, sir.
I opened White's skill window.
''Riflekuta!
"Shrewd! A power-up version of
You can bounce skills and magic.
You can also use Nagi's "Ability Contact Analysis (Skill Analyzer)" to check your skills and magic as you rebound.
'Furai!'
A power-up version of Rebiteishon.
Allows you to fly with White and his friends in the sky.
The whole party (9 people). Or at least the carriage it's in can fly.
Little Tenryu Mode.
The power he has acquired by continuously merging with the Little Dragon Golem.
Ritogon, the soft golem, transforms into a form befitting the young body of a celestial dragon.
'Let's go! Metamorphosis (Metamorphosis)!
"'────?!'
The Little Dragon Golem's appearance changes in front of me, Iris, and Kerkator, the Sea Dragon.
It was a round, cute and round figure, but it became a slender and divine figure.
His wings are literally the same as in "Heavenly Dragon Wings".
His two horns are divine, and his eyes are shining as if they are alive.
Is this White's temporary form, 'Little Tenryu Mode'?
''Ha, haha ────!
The sea dragon Kerkator prostrated itself on the surface of the water.
It's just like ...... my newborn son Branschalka the Heavenly Dragon! I never thought I'd see it this close: ...... Oh, oh, oh, oh!'
Don't worry about it.
Little Tenryu Mode's White replied, waving his wings.
"I just want to live with my brother and sister, that's all.
Does that mean White can stay awake like that?
''Yeah. I'll stay on the easier side with the human figure and 'Little Tenryu Mode'!
According to Shiro, he uses his strength and magic power when he's in figure form.
That's why he's usually in 'Little Tenryu Mode' and turns into his human form when he wants to play with others.
'I see.'
I held White in his tendril mode.
White, in his little dragon form, is smiling happily.
'I'm happy just to stick them together like this.
Yeah. I thought White was happy to see you!
Iris is happy to see you.
Thank you. Iris!
You'll sleep with us today. White. Let's go to bed with your brother.
Yeah, the three of us are going to sleep together.
White laughs and Iris sneaks a wry smile.
I mean, before I know it, I'm going to be sleeping with him. 'You're good at it, Iris.
'I seem to be able to still exist: ......
The 'Demon King's Orb' that turned into a thumb-sized crystal form murmured.
''The dragon's magic power disappeared and ...... myself became something related to the Demon King.''
For something to do with the Demon King?
''That's right. It seems to be ...... an item that has become ...... an item with the ability to detect anything related to the Demon King.''
An item that detects things related to the Demon King?
The demon lords of this world are all created through the machinations of the nobility, so I guess that's why I can detect ...... them.
...... Yeah. I'm sure it's a good way to prevent noblemen and brave men from getting their hands on it.
I get it. Then I'll have the "Demon King's Orb" fabricated into a pendant that can be used at any time.
'Yes, I am ....... My Lord.
With that said, the Orb of the Demon King went to sleep.
Let's consult with the saintly lady at ...... on how to process this.
''Thank you for letting me use the place. ''Sea Dragon Kerkator.''
Iris would like to thank you.
Thank you. Thank you!
Me, Iris, and Shiro, who is in Tenryu mode, bowed our heads to the 'Sea Dragon Kerkator'.
The sea dragon Kerkator is still in the water.
O 'Brave man of the sea dragon' ...... and my descendants ......
Yes?
"I think it's safe to say that you are now my superiors.
What are you talking about? "Kelkator the Sea Dragon".
You're a god, aren't you?
"I was ...... a newborn baby when I saw the 'Celestial Dragon Blanchalka' soar through the sky.
Kelkator the Sea Dragon looked far away and said.
I was disappointed when I heard from the men of the sea that the dragon Blanchalka had passed away. This 'Kelkator the Sea Dragon' is a sea dragon. It is difficult for him to get involved on earth. Even though our esteemed 'Blanchalka the Heavenly Dragon' had passed away, I could not do anything about it. ......
...... 'Sea Dragon Kerkator'
...... ancestors.
"But you have resurrected the Tenryu Blanchalka! I have done what I could not!
The sea dragon Kerkator howled.
"The Sea Dragon Hero and my descendants have surpassed me! What greater joy could there be as a long overdue thing! Then you should be my superiors. From now on, I shall be the one who voluntarily becomes the guardian of the 'port city of Irgafa' and serves you. ......'
I can't believe you would say that: ......
Iris murmured, looking impressed.
White doesn't seem to understand the ...... story either, but he's happily flapping his wings.
The 'Sea Dragon Kerkator' hanging its head at the water's edge, and Iris patting its head.
It was a moving scene.
But...
Can I ask you one question?
"Be my guest. My superior.
...... You didn't decide to treat us like that because you were so surprised by us and White that it became too much of a hassle to act as a god or something, did you?
"............
Why are you looking away? "Kelkator the Sea Dragon
The human and White the Heavenly Dragon. When we are together, it's quite difficult for us to change our attitudes, so we thought that we should treat Shirou and I as higher beings in the same way. ......
"............ Oh, I think the time has come.
The figure of the sea dragon Kerkator has begun to fade.
Hey! God.
I must return to the protection of the sea. Oh, great dragon Blanchalka! Blanchalka, be with the dragon hero and my descendants for a happy time! I wish you all the best across the ocean. ............
What a cool thing to say - the sign of the "Sea Dragon Kerkator" disappeared.
It seems that the connection to the 'Dragon Seed Awakening Empathy' was cut off.
'...... Shall I call up again and ask for more information? ''Brother.''
Let's keep it off .......
The Sea Dragon Kerkator seems to be afraid of White and us who hold it.
I guess so. I'll wait until next year's Festival of the Sea Dragons. At that time, we'll sneak White to perform a ceremony. It'll be fun to see how 'Kerkator the Sea Dragon' reacts.
So, let's just stop and let her go: ......
''It will only be for a little while. I've served you well as a "sea dragon maiden" until now. Hey.
Iris also smiled wryly.
Even though you're free from the fate of the 'Sea Dragon Priestess', you still have your heart set on the sea dragon. ......
''But if you say so, big brother,''
Good.
But only if my brother sleeps with Iris and hugs her tightly.
...... Isn't that a bit odd to say?
Would you like to?
Good. I promised White that I would.
f*ck you!
White, who has turned into a human form again, sits on my shoulder.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out what the "Ritogon" is doing in the meantime: ...... It's amazing, before you know it, it's become smaller and more integrated with the "Tenryu no Armband". I've been using it for a while now and it's become a part of White's life.
I'm sure that tomorrow we'll be able to transfer to the 'sanatorium Michelin'. Let's go pick up Cecil and Rafilia.
''Yes. You want to thank the saint again for giving us 'Ritogon'.
I thought White was with you!
It's imperfect, but White woke up.
I think I'll have to make the clothes I asked the lord to make in ...... figure size.
It's matching Leggy. That's a good idea too.
So, me, Iris and Shiro went back home and...
On that day, I decided to hold a grand "White's Birthday Party".
