I hate troublesome things.
Even now, trouble is chasing me.
It has been three days since we left the beast kin capital and now, we have left its border and entered the dwarf continent and then head for the demon continent border.
For the past three days, we jump onto one island to another. Giant sea monsters would appear. Alstroe’s who is eager would definitely kill them with a single kick, but we always stop her.
Higan and I wanted to fight too and gain battle experience ourselves.
While supporting Higan from the back, she barrages it with magic. I can now pinpoint my barrier’s size and position with great precision. I have also made another skill with my barrier.
I called it “Thorn” It is a barrier that would sprout spikes all around and skewer monsters. I don’t like using it much, though..
The end results of the monsters are grotesque.
Also earlier we are fighting a three giant wolf in the plains. The mountain of the dwarves is far away from us, so being mixed up in their war is nigh impossible.
The two giant wolves were burnt to a crisp and skewered by ice with Higan’s magic.
The other giant wolf targeted me. I use force and then pinpoint its landing spot and summoning a barrier under it then I use thorn.
Somehow, my use of barrier is deviating… I sometimes use it as a plate for food…
And now, we face something in this plains… there was a white dragon…Alstroe- who was forbidden to fight up until now shouted…
“FIGHT ME!!!”
“Wait, Alstroe-nee!!”
“Hm?”
“It seems it is not here to fight.”
Higan as my companion was fine. She has initiative with so many things. She will sometimes crack a joke that confuses us if she is serious or not. Her deadpan face is still there.
Alstroe- is… she thinks she is an older sister to us but… I kind of see her as a pet that needed scolding every time.
The dragon before us… I think I’ve seen it somewhere…
Ah!!!
It was the dragon that winked on us when we were soaring in the sky!
The white dragon suddenly shines and became smaller.
In other words, he transformed. I am not surprised.
“Haaa…”
“That’s rude little girl, don’t you know how to feel awe?”
Before us is a man in his mid-twenties. Contrary to his white scale, his hair is black. The scale in his jaw is white, though. His face is handsome, that much is I can see.
He is tall.
I estimated that Alstroe is around one hundred and sixty centimeters.
This man is around one hundred and ninety centimeters or somewhere near that.
By the way, I estimated that I am one hundred and fifteen centimeters and Higan won by fifteen centimeters and another twelve centimeters if you include her ears.
Hm? Aren’t I too short?
“Good day. I am Mrothgir. As you can see, I am a dragon kin.”
“Mrothgir…”
Higan muttered his name. It seems he is famous so I ask her.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
“Um, Higan, do you know him?”
“Un. I think I read about him in a book in mother’s library and he is portrayed as the white dragon sage but no one knows his true identity and as the legend says he is a dragon that governs the sky.”
Eh… that’s actually cool. But why is someone like him is here? Alstroe got noisy again.
“OH! You mean he is strong?! THEN FIGHT ME! ORYAAAA!!!”
“STOP THAT CRAZY GIRL!!!”
“EH?!”
“A YEAR AGO SHE ALMOST KILLED ME YOU KNOW!!”
What? Alstroe…for now, let’s stop her.
“Alstroe-nee, bad girl!”
“Eh? Ah…yessss….”
Alstroe seems to be more obedient if you told her those words. It seems a conditioned response from Cecille. Pavlov’s concept is still kicking in this world!
Alstroe looked so down, though, it kind of made me feel bad but this much is still bearable.
“Thank you! That was scary.”
“Are you really a legendary dragon?”
“I am. We dragons with strong magical power can transform into a full dragon, so we can be easily mistaken as a wild beast dragons, which are mindless.”
“So, what is your motive then?”
I should be stern, I should not be swayed by his pace, he is just one person so need to be shy.
“Let me join you girls in your journey!”
“Why?”
He got silent.
He seems to be thinking. He is scared of Alstroe so if he became violent, we will have her beat him up.
“Let me join you and I will guide you in magic!”
Muh! That was a good offer! We are really in need of an instructor right now. Considering that he is the genuine article only means he is knowledgeable in magic.
But there is one thing that bothers me.
“You guys are heading to the demon capital right?”
“Yes.”
“Let me join!”
“Why not fly there now by yourself?”
“That’s boring. I want companions to talk to. We dragons live long enough that sometimes flying around the world gets boring. However, journeying with people who you can chat is fun!”
“So it is just a whim. You revealing yourself as a dragon kin, is it also on a whim?”
“Haa… you ask too many questions even though you are just a little girl.”
I learned my lessons. I am now cautious to everything.
“Let me ask you this, do you guys even know how to get there?”
Hm? I never thought of that. I came from another world so I don’t have any idea. Come to think of it. I didn’t buy a map…
I look at my left.
Higan is there, she stared back at me with that deadpan face. She told me that she never been away from the beast capital and from the Fox Manor. She is basically naïve of the world.
I look at my right.
Alstroe is there, she also stared back at me while tilting her head. She told me that she soar to the sky to see her destination but she doesn’t have any idea where is the demon capital since she has never gone there before.
“Muh…”
“Listen here. I don’t have any ill intentions. It just that, you and that fox eared girl got my attention earlier when you were fighting with those giant wolves. I know that you two are talented. To be honest, this is the first time in a hundred years that someone got my interest.”
“How did you—“
“Geez, I was flying in the sky when I saw you girls fighting ok?”
“Uhh…”
I got swept in the conversation. He did have a point. No, more like he is a god sent to us since he will be training us at magic while traveling to the demon capital.
We have Alstroe as insurance.
How do I say this…it is so abrupt that I can’t laugh or had any plan to retort on any of this.
“So that’s that! Call me master from now on!”
“Y-yes… please teach us well…”
“If Asagao is fine by it then I don’t mind!”
No, I don’t have any more come back against him. If it is just his whims, then that’s good.
Good thing Alstroe is here. She then shouted!
“Hey! Hey! Since I am not going to study magic with them! Can I call you Murot!!”
“That’s a really ugly nickname! Won’t you not and call me Mrothgir properly?!”
Alstroe sprouted an evil grin… Huehuehue, I like what you are thinking Alstroe!
“I will call you Murot! So Murot is Murot! If you want me to call you by that difficult name, fight me and defeat me!!”
I don’t know her mind works but this is a big plus for Alstroe for me.
Murot…Ahem….Master looked so defeated.
It was really abrupt, though. That was a fast development.
