Manowa Chapter 227

Two soft, towering mountains attacked Kazane. Their name: b.o.o.bs.

Kazane didn't have a yuri yuri personality and didn't permit actions based on being fellow women. However, being wrapped in warm and soft things is relieving for both men and women. People desire Mother's warmth throughout their lives. People don't dislike that jelly-like shaking. However, what if a person were hit in the face and had their breathing hindered?

If it were a man, he might say he had achieved his long cherished desire and be fine with it. It not being good would only be a maybe. But Kazane was a normal girl, so she fell into the category of it not being good. Then Kazane said「Buhaーー」and separated from the b.o.o.bs.

「Kazane, Kazaneーーー. I was lonelyーー」

However, the jiggling once again attacked Kazane. The owner of that jiggling was Tiara, who was much more heated up than usual. Tiara's screen time had been scarce recently, so such scenes had also been scarce. Based on displayed romance events, she seemed to be falling behind Emily, but Tiara had actually often had contact with Naoki. A woman shouldn't be looked down on. At any rate, events like

「There are a lot of people, and getting lost would be troubling. Here, take my hand.」

「Naoki...」

had just recently been occurring to Taira. However, Naoki-related flirting stories aren't interesting, so they were omitted. The main reason Tiara's screen time was reduced was that most of her events had shifted to flirting with Naoki, and that fact had to be dumped here.

However, her abilities as a Summoner had gradually been growing, so it's possible that might change radically soon. Stay tuned for Oppai-san's future activity.

By the way, that Naoki was currently absorbed in mentally recording the fascinating symphony of b.o.o.bs and his older sister. However, thanks to his『Poker Face』Skill, to the surroundings he only looked happy about his sister's return. Incidentally, Lyle was obviously ogling and received an elbow from his sister. The difference between a man who was capable and a man who wasn't was clearly displayed here.

Also, Naoki's stance toward Naga was on hold for the time being.

Antagonizing King Audin and Prince Sieg would be antagonizing a nation, and Naga didn't seem opposed to Kazane having a child with a human man. Naoki was making a deplorable and mercenary calculation; rather than imprudently opposing Kazane and Naga's close relationship, he should become close to Naga as well and hopefully receive his support in marrying his sister.

Receiving such wicked gazes, Kazane said「I'm back」and waved to her companions as she was sandwiched between b.r.e.a.s.t.s, and her companions all respectively responded. As might be expected after monster extermination, they seemed tired.

And after moderate party reunion greetings, they listened to Kazane's story about Minshiana. After Kazane and Ao talked about Yuuko-nee's awakening and the devil extermination, the topic changed to the current mountain hunting situation.

「It seems the Mount Konron Mist Barrier reacted to the presence of a certain degree of Magic Power in strong existences like monsters and humans. Apparently, wild animals could pa.s.s through.」

Yumika told Kazane. Louise continued after Yumika's words.

「This area had a species vacuum. It's not hard to understand why the monsters scrambled to be first the moment the barrier was removed.」

「Like middle aged women at a bargain sale.」

All but the player group tilted their heads after Kazane's words, but they didn't ask. It wasn't the first time Kazane had made a strange remark.

『The dragons would be able to deal with them alone. However, there's a large amount.』

「So there's currently a request for others like Dragonoids and people from the Adventurers Guild to also join the subjugation.」

The Humanized Byaku continued after Naga spoke. Kazane had already known about Yumika and the others undertaking monster subjugation at the request of the Adventurers Guild due to an email.

「Then we'll also be partic.i.p.ating in the subjugation starting tomorrow. We can't rest on our laurels and watch just because everyone has already been doing it.」

「When you say we, does that include Tatsuo-sama?」

Byaku said with a severe expression, but Ao replied「It's okay.」

「I guarantee Tatsuo-kun's ability. As long as he's with Kazane-san, there shouldn't be even the slightest risk.」

「But... no, that's right. Tatsuo-sama is Nagsama and Kazane-sama's child.」

Byaku groaned after Ao spoke, but it seemed she decided to yield to Ao's words.

『So now that Ao-dono has returned, would it be fine to restore the barrier?』

The barrier he was talking about was, naturally, the Mist Barrier. The barrier that had been extinguished due to the death of Northern Black Season Gen would be revived by Ao becoming a lynchpin in exchange. That was included in their initial plans and was the main reason Ao would be staying in the East Dragon Village. Then after thinking a little, Ao answered Naga's question.

「I want you to wait two or three days. I'm supposed to『still be in Minshiana』right now.」

Such dummy information was currently being circulated to attract the devils' attention. Though since Kazane was already in the East Dragon Village, it was a suitable time for Iria to stop acting as a body double, so Ao was thinking about contacting Yuuko-nee later by email.

『Understood. Then that's what we'll do. Is Byaku also fine with that?』

「Yes, they're my father's words. Let's follow them.」

Then the discussion ended, and Kazane left with Jinrai to equip him with the prosthetic arm. Tatsuo and their companions also followed them, so the only ones remaining in the G.o.d Dragon Emperor Throne Room were Naga, Ao, and Byaku.

**********

『So how was it, Ao-dono? My child's situation?』

With the G.o.d Dragon Emperor Throne Room now calm, Naga questioned Ao. That voice was different from some time ago and was loaded with the majesty of a king. If he didn't do that, Ao might have made a snide reply like「We already talked for two hours, didn't we?」

「Well, that's right. I knew that Tatsuo-kun had inherited several Skills from Kazane-san, but I almost died once.」

Ao laughed, but Byaku's face showed her astonishment at it being to that extent. Naga had already heard the summary, so he wasn't as surprised as Byaku, but he also had a feeling of disbelief. Ao wasn't as strong as G.o.d Dragon Emperor Naga or Gold Wing Dragon Empress Crofe, but he was just below them. It was hard to believe that a Reincarnation Dragon that was only a few days old could use an attack that could kill him.

「Kazane-san called it Mega Beam. It's the highest ranking Beam attack of one eyed monsters, and Tatsuo-kun also inherited it. I told him to limit its usage because there are many techniques that can reflect it, but he's also part Crystal Dragon. If he learns the same Reflection attribute as Nagsama, it will be a technique with no weak points.」

『He's that strong.』

Naga groaned. He felt honestly delighted that his son was so highly talented from birth, but he was also worried about it becoming a burden on his child.

「Children born through the Reincarnation Dragon ritual inherit their parents' abilities more directly, so Kazane-san's influence was probably quite high. I can tell even now that considering his future abilities, it's highly likely he can become G.o.d Dragon Emperor.」

Naga and Byaku's eyes narrowed after Ao's words.

Like monsters, dragons fundamentally decided their social position by strength. They imitated the form of a royal family, but their common sense was different from that of human beings. Right now Naga was still G.o.d Dragon Emperor, but with his current condition he was looking for the right time to retire, and they were discussing whether they should have a proxy or have another dragon take over as G.o.d Dragon Emperor. And Ao said Tatsuo could be the next G.o.d Dragon Emperor.

「To be frank, I think there's a high possibility that he'll be stronger than Nagsama in 100 years. To say nothing of how much that might be sped up by being with Kazane-san...」

Ao had almost died once, and his expression was serious as he talked. Byaku was listening with rapt attention. The son of the lord she respected was acknowledged by her beloved father. There was nothing so happy for Byaku. Though Naga's feelings were a little different.

(I was thinking I wanted Tatuso to live freely, but that might be a little precarious now.)

It didn't appear on Naga's face as Ao talked about Tatsuo, but he was slightly more vigilant. It was possibly needless anxiety, but considering it was about his son, maybe he should worry.

The man in front of him, Ao, was a being whose every action was for the prosperity of dragonkind. He was originally a human, but he reincarnated as a dragon, and it was a fact that if it weren't for this man, dragonkind would not be prospering like they were now after the Human Dragon War 600 years ago.

And he had his eye on Tatsuo. Naga sensed an omen of danger.

However, dragons were a race that lived for a long time. Even if a problem were going to occur, no one knew when it would happen; it could happen in decades, hundreds of years, or it could be nothing but needless anxiety. Right now, Naga and Ao didn't know what would happen. n.o.body did.

Kazane:「b.o.o.bs are scary.」

Yumika:「Then it's fine to stay small, isn't it? It's status, status.」

Kazane:「But still, I can't give up my dream. Even though they're scary... they're still my dream.」

Yumika:「You're saying something cool, but it's about b.o.o.bs.」
