Manowa Chapter 188

◎ Dolmu City, Restaurant『Dragon Fang Hall』

「All right, all right. OK, stop.」

In accordance with Kazane's words, Tatsuyoshi-kun Dragoon and the ma.s.s production models A and B slowly placed a dragon ornament made out of crystal in that room. The surrounding people exclaimed in admiration and surprise at its magnificent figure.

「Is it finished with this?」

So saying, Kazane wiped her sweat and ordered Tatsuyoshi-kun Dragoon to connect a water pipe to the back of the dragon to make the water flow. Thereupon, water flowed like a waterfall from the mouth of the dragon and acc.u.mulated in the water tank under the dragon's feet.

「And then properly inlay the sliding door to the courtyard, Tatsuyoshi-kun.」

With hand gestures to say「Roger!」the Tatsuyoshi-kuns each picked up a crystallized sliding door and put them in place. The room made entirely of crystal glowed red with the light of the setting sun. It was an extremely magnificent sight.

Thus, the restaurant『Dragon Fang Hall』destroyed by Kazane's reaction yesterday was revived. Although contrary to Kazane's expectations, the damage itself honestly wasn't that bad. One room was destroyed, but the fire didn't spread to the others, and the shop kept its overall shape.

In the first place, it was common knowledge that people would sometimes breathe out a pseudo Dragon's Breath after eating dragon steak.

Taking that into account, the entire room was built st.u.r.dily, but Kazane's reaction greatly exceeded its durability. Although Kazane wasn't obligated to pay for repairs, since the cooking fee included a deposit for the room, but Kazane was feeling responsible and volunteered to repair the room free of charge.

The result was a room where the tables, chairs, everything was made out of fireproof, ice proof, lightning proof, etc. crystal, with a Crystallized dragon ornament placed in the center; it was a Crystal Dragon room. In addition, she had used her Golem techniques to make a full-length mirror and made a Golem modeled after her Dragonized appearance, then Crystallized it to make that dragon ornament.

The owner asked「How much?」with a pale face when he saw the room that was far and away more extravagant than it was before it was destroyed, but it was a purely voluntary action as an apology for destroying the room. Kazane replied「Priceless」with a self-satisfied look.

Kazane was in super low spirits that morning as she reflected on yesterday's rampage, but when she started making things her energy gradually rose, and by the time she became aware of it she had gotten carried away and made a crystal room. It seemed the word「Prudence」had flown away to a distant sky.

「As expected of a Rea King. It's splendid artistry. What a virtuous and splendid character you have for doing this free of charge.」

The owner admired from the bottom of his heart. Nora also said「It's amazing」while deeply moved. Seeing that, Kazane thought (I did a good thing) and nodded with satisfaction. Prudence, come back soon.

By the way,『Rea King』was an official t.i.tle recognized by the country, and if a person deserved it, it could be awarded at the discretion of that city's Chefs Guild. It had already been written on Kazane's Adventurers Guild card.

By the way, some of Kazane's Skills improved from eating the Black Rock Dragon steak, particularly her dragon Skills.

『Material Shield』became Lv2, which strengthened the shield and allowed it to be emitted in every direction.『Dragonization』became Lv2, so her dragon body was now 7 meters long, and she was able to use Cold Breath with her normal body. Also,the『Mega Beam』Skill which she had just learned and hadn't used in actual battle yet became Pa.s.sive at Lv2 for some reason. But leaving it Pa.s.sive was quite likely to lead to inadvertent firing like had happened the previous day, so it would generally be turned off. It was a powerful technique that consumed 350 Magic Power, which was an amount surpa.s.sing normal human limits, and it could still be activated with voice commands anyway.

In addition, the levels of『St.u.r.dier Teeth』and『Crystallization』rose.『St.u.r.dier Teeth』now gave her even more st.u.r.dy teeth, and『Crystallization』had a larger effective range and consumed less Magic Power. It could be said that any worries concerning her teeth at old age were now completely eliminated. Kazane would be able to chew rice crackers until death.

The abilities of the other members also improved, but Yumika in particular could now emit a little lightning Dragon Spirit, and while it would take an entire day, it seemed she could fill her Dragon Contract Bangle with her own power.

While it seemed like the other members' abilities slightly improved, it wasn't to a visible degree. That difference was probably largely due to the differing degrees of Dragon Spirit neutralization. However, there was one considerably large change, which happened to Jinrai.

「You're young! No way!」

Louise seemed delighted as she looked at Jinrai.

「Hm. I feel young again.」

「No, master, you're actually young again. You look around the same age as Jiraid-san.」

After Yumika's words, Jinrai said「Is that so?」and was a little embarra.s.sed, but he didn't just look young again; he was actually young again. It seemed that somehow the effect from the super rare item『Panacea Drop』Jinrai drank previously still remained inside him, and apparently it had been stimulated. Jinrai currently looked like he was in his early 40's. By all appearances he was no longer a grandpa.

「Jeez, Jinrai-kunnnn, you're giving off the scent of a man. Are you inviting me? It's fine, right? Tonight is fine, right?」

「No, Nee-san, please excuse me. And Lyle, it's too early for you, so don't look.」

Louise was about to start undressing, and the fl.u.s.tered Jinrai spoke and scolded Lyle, who was staring.

「Jeez, brother, enough already.」

「No, umm. Louise-san's are splendid, aren't they? Hahaha」

Louise smiled after Lyle's words.

「Thank you. But really, Jinrai-kun said it was too early for you, but that's not the case. After all, Jinrai-kun had his first experience was when he was ●」

Everyone simultaneously spouted.

「Ne, Nee-san. That story is...」

「The partner was Mabel-san, a female innkeeper in Jinrai-kun's hometown. There was also the time with his childhood friend Myrrh-chan at 1● when he left the village, and one time when he stopped by the village later on, with 4 people at the same time he」

「Louise Nee-saーーーーーーーーn!!!」

Jinrai shouted and closed Louise's mouth.

「Oh dear. No need to get so angry.」

Louise shook off Jinrai's hands and stuck out her tongue, and Jinrai's face was bright red as he was shaking his head.

「Incredible, grandpa.」

「That, that's dirty.」

The respective respectful and disdainful gazes coming for his grandchildren hurt. Cold sweat was gushing out of Jinrai's face.

「Well, Jinrai-kun was popular, you know. He would say he wasn't particularly interested in women, but he never refused any advances. Well, he eventually got Cindy pregnant with Jiraid-kun, so he finally settled down.」

「Mu, muu. I didn't know at that time. I was taught that I had to accept if I was invited by a woman.」

『Hrm. This guy was horrible at that time. Why is doing something like picking up necessary?...... I still remember the bloodl.u.s.t I felt when I was told that so plainly.』

Mefirus continued to disclose past stories.

「Mefirus-sama. That's enough about that.」

Jinrai was frantic. The truth was that he had never had women troubles in his entire life. He was released into the wild Riajuu world, and thinking it was natural, he had relations with women one after the other. Because the woman who approached him were all like Louise, he spent his time as an adventurer without knowing it was a strange thing at all, and he was finally caught by a certain Yandere-san.

By the way, Yumika's『It's ok. I respect my master as a master of the spear』follow-up completely sank Jinrai. He felt like everything about him except for his mastery of the spear was being denied. Jinrai's mentality wasn't very strong when it came to that.

Well, the discussion ended there, and Lyle started moving his body. He was wondering if anything had changed.

「Um, I think my body feels a little sharper.」

「Yeah. My body feels strangely light, and it feels like I can concentrate better than before.」

Lyle and Emily felt that subtle changes had occurred to them, but they were only subtle. The same was true for Louise and Tiara.

「Uryaa!」

In the bed next to Lyle and the others, Kazane froze the towel in her hand with her Cold Breath, then put it on her head.

「Aneki, are you all right?」

Naoki was anxiously looking at Kazane from beside her bed.

「No problem. I used a li~ttle too much Magic Power. My body just received a bit of a shock.」

Kazane so replied to Naoki.

Kazane had immediately collapsed onto the bed when she returned to the hotel after finishing her work at the Dragon Fang Hall. It seemed she had quite the fever, and she had been visibly suffering since some time ago. Tiara was also watching anxiously behind Naoki.

「Sudden strengthening might also be playing a part. Let's wait and see until tomorrow. It'll be fine if she has returned to normal by then.」

So saying, Louise pulled the futon up to Kazane's shoulders.

「Kufufufu, my body feels like it's burning. Maybe when I wake up, my body will have grown and I'll have big b.o.o.bs.」

「Such strengthening probably doesn't exist, so go to bed already.」

Yumika replied in amazement to Kazane's fantasy. And so, the day ended.

Naturally, she didn't have big b.o.o.bs the next day.
