Manowa 295

Chapter 295 - Let's Take Out a Souvenir


For matters regarding the future of the floating island, it seemed the policy was for Hyvern Dukedom to take the lead and request cooperation from the other countries that had been harmed by the devils, Minshiana and Tsuvara, for things like information about devils and the Sky Emperor's Tower.

And it was decided that the White Party would be entrusted with the letters for that purpose, so Kazane grumbled「Another delivery?」but they planned to go to Minshiana and Tsuvara anyway, so she decided to obediently accept. Also, it seemed this would basically be processed as an Adventurers Guild request.

As for the investigation, there was also a problem with the fact that there were several countries between Hyvern and the former Reivel Kingdom's territory, but the bigger problem was that the devil hunting Cancer family's patriarch Zeku was currently suspected of being one of the Seven Deadly Sins. The Cancer family had an intimate relationship with the powerful Sorcery Kingdom Amoria, and their devil hunting headquarters was there. Furthermore, devils often possessed people in powerful positions, which was disgraceful for the upper echelons of countries, and the Cancer family held debts of gratitude as well as weaknesses of many countries.

That being the case, Hyvern couldn't move openly as a country, so it seemed Ao planned to leave that part to Yuuko-nee, since Minshiana was a neighboring country of Amoria.


With everything discussed in this meeting agreed on, they disbanded. Jinrai and the others restrained the struggling Naoki, and it became a place for the parents and child Kazane, Naga, and Tatsuo to talk with no outsiders present.


「Husbanddd!」

『It's been a long time.』

『Fatherr!』


Those three remained in the God Dragon Emperor's throne room. Naga had brought his face down close to them, and Kazane was embracing it. Then Tatsuo also hugged Naga's face along with her.


「Fufufu」

Kazane seemed to have a chilling degree of love for Naga as she clung to him. Tatsuo was the same. They were parent and child. While feeling a little embarrassed, Naga opened his mouth.

『Even though we contact each other on a daily basis via email, there are different deep emotions when we're able to meet like this. After all, being able to actually meet face to face is nice.』

「I also like to be together with Husband. Yeah.」

Following Kazane's words, Tatsuo also cried Kuwaa in agreement.

『Is that so? However, it seems like your travels have been extremely full of trouble. When I heard that you encountered monsters from the Dark Forest, I was scared to death. To say nothing of the fact that you subjugated them.』

After Naga's words, Kazane scratched her face and said「Quit it!」In fact, Kazane and others were originally planning to escape from the Odanobugas. If it weren't for the Heroic Spirit Sieg, there was no doubt that the King and Queen would have been checkmate.

「But we were actually able to defeat them, so it turned out all right in the end.」

『That is truly results-based thinking. Well, try not to cause me so much worry.』

Naga said, and Kazane replied「Yeah. I'll be careful.」

「Ah, that's right. I want Suza to process the materials I got from the Odanobunagas and the floating island, but is that okay?」

『Hmm. That should be no problem. I'll be calling for him after this, so you can make your request at that time as well.』

「Roger.」

Kazane happily replied. She was planning to show Suza the blueprint she had made on the way here and have him make what was on it. This time, it was for her own use, so she was more excited than when she'd previously had him make the prosthetic arm.

「Speaking of the floating island, the Dragon Eaters' breeding condition was a bit dangerous. Since they're on the isolated floating island for now, it's okay, but who knows how they'll spread if it falls.」

The floating island's fall would bring about a serious problem for the dragons. If the floating island fell and the breeding Dragon Eaters spread, it was possible that the land of Hyvern would become a difficult place for dragons to live.

『I already heard from your email, but it seems pretty bad.』

「Since we encountered a ton of them even just walking through. Well, with the combo of Dragon Pheromone and Jinrai-san, we were able to defeat them without taking any damage, but since there's so many, annihilating them would be a bit difficult. There are Wyverns in the area as well, so them having the perfect breeding environment is troublesome, right?」

Naga groaned after Kazane's words.

『Hmm. That's certainly troublesome?』

And after a little thought, Naga opened his mouth.

『I believe I told Kazane about the dragon that was formerly parasitized by a Dragon Eater, Valaon?』

「Yeah. Paimon-san, who we spoke about via email, also came to see Valaon, right?」

『That's right. Paimon safely arrived here, and he's currently training Valaon. According to Paimon, it seems there's no doubt that Valaon became a Wood Dragon. It seems that also means he's resistant to Dragon Eaters, so I think I'll send him to the floating island to investigate for the time being.』

「Ah, that might be good. After all, even though a dragon is just about the only means of transportation capable of reaching the floating island, approaching it is the most dangerous for a dragon.」

『That's how it is.』

「Contacting the Birdmen and Butler No. 13 is also necessary. Ah, it seems Morphia-san uses a summoned bird to get in touch with Hyvern, but...」

『If it's for communication use, it can be managed one way or another, but flying summoned beasts that can carry things the size of people are rare.』

Even if someone could fly, meeting a Wyvern or Griffon would be game over. The path to the floating island was inherently precipitous.

「Then, please handle that. I'll tell Valaon-san about Butler No. 13 and the rest after this.」

Kazane replied. Tatsuo cried Kuwaa at the same time and said『I will also talk with him.』Naga looked at Tatsuo and smiled broadly.

『Hmm. It's already been about a month and a half since Tatsuo was born? You seem to be growing up well.』

『Yes, Father. I am working hard with Mother every day. I've become able to shoot a lot of beams from my eyes.』

Tatsuo was establishing his position as the White Party's marksman. He was a baby that was only a month and a half old, so that was startling.

『Is that so? As expected, by inheriting Kazane's Skills, it seems Tatsuo is becoming a much stronger dragon than other dragon species.』

「Yeah. He has become splendid fighting power. Tatsuo is also smart, close with everyone, and a really good child, huh.」

Tatsuo was crying Kuwaa. He seemed bashful.

『After a little more than a month, Tatsuo will be able to eat his own meals, not just Kazane's Dragon Spirit. Then, his body will also start growing. I can't help but look forward to your growth, Tatsuo.』

『Yes. I will do my best to become a splendid dragon like Father.』

Tatsuo raised his hand and responded. However, since he raised his hand, he couldn't cling on to Naga's face, and he slipped down and rolled on the floor.

Watching him, Kazane and Naga laughed, and Tatsuo seemed embarrassed as he cried Kuwaa.

『Well, now I'm not that strong. If it's Tatsuo, you'll probably reach me right away.』

Naga said with a lonesome laugh.

In fact, it was hard to say whether or not Naga's current power reached the power of an average Adult Dragon. That was because the output of the Power Orb (small) that was acting as Naga's Core was too small for him to exert his real power. Of course, the fact that its output was stable enough to maintain Naga was a testament to the technological strength of the ancient Istharia civilization, but since the maximum output was unfortunately not that high, he couldn't bring out much power when it came to battle.

『Sooner or later, you will become big and strong enough that giving my name as Tatsuo's father would be impudent. As a father, that's something I'm looking forward to.』

Naga's partially closed eyes gave off a sense of resignation towards his loss of power. Tatsuo cried Kuwaa when he saw his father making such a face.

However, when Kazane heard that conversation, she smiled like a child playing a prank and talked to Naga.


「Ah, Husband. About that...」

『Hmm?』


Naga tilted his head at Kazane's unexpected reaction. While laughing「Ehehe,」Kazane opened her Item Box Window.

「Actually, I have a souvenir for Husband.」

Kazane immediately selected a『a certain item』from her Item Box list. When that『certain item』came out, Naga's eyes opened wide. The red jewel Kazane took out emitted a huge amount of magical power.

And the red light being emitted by that jewel gave Kazane's smile a strange intensity, as if it were a devil's smile. Naturally, it was a 100% loving smile from thinking of her husband, though.

『That is……?』


And Naga didn't know what that was. Naga was over 1000 years old, one of the oldest dragons, but that didn't mean he knew everything. However, he was able to understand that considerably powerful and wild magical power was flowing from that red light emitting round jewel.

In order to surprise Naga, Kazane hadn't told him about this item in her emails. She had bowed her head to her companions and obtained this item while thinking about making Naga happy. Its name was...


「It's called『Dairokuten Maou's Blood Orb』. It's a jewel secreting the power of a Devil King.」


It was a jewel that outputted far higher magical power than the Power Orb (small) that was currently Naga's Core. It was a Devil King-class Core that was so powerful it had to be sealed inside the Queen Odanobunaga's body when she wasn't fighting alongside her mate, King Odanobunaga. And Kazane expected that the gem would be able to output enough power to fill the vessel called Naga.


「I was thinking of making it Husband's new Core, so I brought it.」


Kazane's full-faced smile as she said that was directly transmitting「Praise me, praise me!」to Naga. Needless to say, Naga's heart was splendidly pierced by that smile.
