Chapter 126

(126) Starting a fight with a Dragon

Translator: Tseirp

Dragon.

The representative of Fantasy settings.

In stories, there are cases of them being deified and if antagonized, they are existences that can stump protagonists with their overwhelming power.

Its natural to believe that they can sprout flames from their mouths but lately, they are nasty beings that are even commonly depicted to spit out ice and poisonous breaths.

Be that as it may, those are but fictional depiction in games and such.

However, Koshmar-sama said it before. In the first place, in order to make the Otherworld more easily acceptable to reincarnators like me, people from Earth were subconsciously made to create games in our world.

In actual fact, the Pochi that Suzuki has as a pet that wyvern is exactly the same as what I imagined.

If thats the case, well have to be cautious after all.

This way nya.

Stella led the way with a soft whisper.

It seems convenient to have a small body at times like these to hide. Right, Carol.

Ichino-sama, why do you seek my agreement for such a thing Im

not that small.

Carol pouted and sulked.

Are you conscious of your size?

No Im not conscious of my size but ( its because Ichino-sama dont properly see me as an adult)

Sorry, I couldnt really hear the last part of your sentence.

Its nothing.

It looks like I somehow angered her. Carol is normally so reliable so I inadvertently forgot that shes still a kid. Maybe her stress level has been accumulating due to the harsh journey. I might have to let the four of them have an enjoyable shopping session or something similar when we return to town to relieve their stress.

Ichino. This is not the place to fool around.

Thats true. Ive been sensing a strong presence since just now.

The enemys presence was slightly different from the usual presence of monsters. For weak monsters, ah, how do I put it, it would give a certain degree of presence while monsters with killing intent will give a sharp piercing presence.

However, it would become harder to differentiate once the number of enemies increases causing the presences to

to mix together but this time the presence was expressing in words, it was a mighty presence. It felt like it gave off a strong headwind just by standing there.

We would probably see him once we pass through the grass patch here.

Even so, how do I put it?

I felt that it was not an unbeatable opponent.

Carol, please try out Charm Magic from a distance. Marina, please aim for the weak points of the enemy with your magic bow somewhere like the eyes or the inside of the mouth.

Understood.

Leave it to me nothing is able to escape from my third eye.

Carol nodded while Marina said with confidence.

Before Marina opens her third eye, Id rather she takes off that mask and widen her first and second eyes field of vision.

Haru, well be fighting in front. With Marinas skill, Im not really worried but well fight while avoiding her line of attack. Well start the battle with the usual Slash attack. Also, when I shout Spread out, please distance yourself from the Dragon as much as possible. Since

possible. Since Ill be using my magic that has the strongest attack power.

Understood.

Haru nodded.

Stella, please hide somewhere. I dont know if I have the leeway to do a follow-up for Stella if you make a mistake. Also, to everyone apart from Stella, Ill leave the space open. If you deem that it is dangerous, please escape to that place.

I said that and used the Hikikomori skill to create the door to My World.

Well prepared means no worries.

Ill set up as much insurance as possible.

This time its not to level up but to have a battle.

I configured my jobs to Jobless, Sword Saint, Swordsman, Magic Swordsman and Gladiator.

I set them to jobs that are fixated with the sword.

Although the final blow would likely be done with magic.

Then, I peeked over from the bushes.

There was a cave on a cliff at a barely reachable height and beside that cave was a lizard about twice the size of the Boss Fish Lizard a Dragon.

The Dragons color was brown.

If its brown then it might be an Earth Dragon or since its close since its close to red, it might be a Flame Dragon too.

So its a Bronze Dragon

Carol muttered below me on my right.

I see, instead of brown, its a gold-copper alloy color like those used for ten yen coins.

Its categorized in the weaker group among Dragons as it has no special attacks and cant spit breath attacks but, its still an opponent that needs a 6-man party of Adventurers above B-rank.

B-rank I see.

Haru muttered. Shes currently an Adventurer of the lowest rank.

Dont worry. You should know that your ability and your rank dont match. Haru is strong.

I pat Harus head.

Very well, lets go Haru.

Yes, master.

Haru and I dashed out of the bushes.

At the same time, a wind arrow flew out from behind us aimed straight at the Dragons eye.

However

Guaaaaaaaaaaa!

The roar that made me unconsciously cover my ears caused the air to tremble. Due to that, the wind arrow flew off in an unexpected direction.

Even though its in the weaker category, its still a Dragon huh?

While thinking of that, Haru and I released Slash together.
