91 Episode 91: "When I Squeezed A Slave'S Swimsuit, Someone Was Listening Next To Me.".Txt
By the time we were done walking around town and shopping, the sun was nearly gone.
Aine's face was a little red from exhaustion.
We stopped by the Adventurer's Guild at the recreation area and shopped at the market, and while we were at it, we explored the market trends and went to buy a swimsuit, which was the last thing we did. Considering the budget, there weren't that many choices, and Aine didn't seem to be particularly particular about it either, so the swimsuit selection went smoothly.
'I would have loved to see Aine in her swimsuit, though.
'No. ...... It's ...... yeah. Not now.
Aine hugged her bags as they walked side by side along the seafront.
'You're my sister, you can put it on the back burner. Aine's swimsuit will be ...... after everyone else.
Aine nodded with satisfaction. With her usual placid smile.
And when we returned to the villa...
There was an altar in the attic for The Heavenly Dragon's Egg.
It's a ...... hobby.
...... It's not a job.
It's just to pass the time.
I'm just playing.
No, you don't have to make that excuse.
The altar was built by Cecil, Rita, Iris and Raphilia.
The villa of the Ilgafa lord's family is a two-story stone building with a ladder in the corridor that allows you to go up to the attic.
Originally, it was a place where the lord used to hide documents that he couldn't take out, but now it's empty, probably because we were going to come. The height is just barely high enough for a person to stand and walk. There is a small window on the wall.
Cecil and the others made an altar to place the Heavenly Dragon's Egg there.
Of course, it's not such a magnificent thing, they just laid a soft cloth inside the small treasure chest they retrieved from the Valley of the Mist to prevent the egg from rolling around.
The rest is in a vase with flowers that I picked near the sea and a board in front of the treasure chest that says 'You are welcome'.
It seems to be the first thing they say when a child is born in this world, but I wonder if it goes to Tenryu: ......?
What do you think: "What do you think: ...... Mr. Nagi?
Me and Cecil came up to the ceiling.
Rita and the others went back to their respective rooms. It seems that from now on, they are going to show each other their swimsuits. If possible, I'd like you to continue until I return, but - as for the "Heavenly Dragon's Egg" - it's a job that Raizika, the mummy flying dragon, asked me to do. I have to do what I can.
I'm going to check around the altar.
The box is solid. The lid is light, and can be opened from the inside.
The bundle of cloth is tightly packed to keep the 'Tenryu's Egg' from rolling around.
'Come to think of it, I wonder how big a child of the Heavenly Dragon is?
Mr. Rafilia said it was about the size of a man.
Cecil told me as he adjusted the position of the cloth.
''Then they say they suck in more and more magic and get bigger and bigger. So I'm told that when it hatches, it can open the lid by itself and fly out the window.''
Okay.
With a puff, I put my hand on Cecil's head.
'Very well. I think that's good for now.
...... was great.
As I stroked her hair, Cecil let out a breath of relief.
The Mummy Flying Dragon said that it would take about a year for the 'Heavenly Dragon's Egg' to hatch.
So, as a temporary place to put them, this is fine.
We'll put curtains on the windows later. Don't let direct sunlight in.
I've asked a merchant in this town to manage the villa. He has a close relationship with Ilgafa, so he shouldn't be prying. There's also the possibility of signing a "contract" with him.
We're negotiating with the lord to let us use this place for a few years at a time. And since Iris and I are the brave men and women of the sea dragon, we shouldn't be able to refuse.
And no one knows that we're in charge of the Heavenly Dragon's Egg.
If possible, I'd like to set up traps to avoid intruders, but that's only after we cash in the gems we received and create a special skill.
We're going to be here for a week, so we'll figure out what the problems are and fix them while we're here. Debugging is important.
Eventually we're going to make room under the floor to hide the eggs. I want to make sure no one notices and that the hatched celestial dragons can easily come out of the ground.
So, that's why.
''Then stay here and be quiet until it hatches.
I placed the 'Tenryu's Egg' on the cloth.
The pure white egg was as warm as human skin.
When I was in the guild, it had been beating small, but now it was quiet.
I held it in both hands in offering and placed it in the center of the 'altar' that Cecil and the others had made for me.
'Then, Nagi-sama, please go to everyone.
Cecil stretched out his thin fingers and checked the location of the 'Heavenly Dragon's Egg'. Checking for anything in the way between the altar and the attic window. Checking for sharp objects on the floor.
Perhaps because the demon tribe is closely related to the celestial dragon, they seem to be more cautious.
''I'm going to stay here for a while and watch 'Heavenly Dragon's Egg'.
'Cecil can rest. This is the job I got from Raizika the Mummy Flying Dragon.
But Cecil is so serious.
If you don't force him to give you a day off, he'll try to find a detailed job to work on. Even now, she's changing into her normal slave clothes, but it looks like she's been cleaning the attic with Zorkin.
'Even Cecil would like to try on swimsuits with you guys, wouldn't he?'
............ It's all right. It's all good!
With that, Cecil gripped the hem of his slave uniform.
Looking up, looking at me. Lips glued together.
Then she closed her eyes, lifted the clothes at once, and pulled out the top of her head with a bang...
After saying that, Cecil laughed.
''It doesn't matter anymore that I'm the last of the demon race. I'm happy enough to be by Nagi-sama's side now. I'm happy enough to tell Tenryu-san about it. I'm not afraid of the world. Because of Nagi-sama, no matter what happens to me, I'm not afraid of anything.
"...... Really?
'Yes, sir. It is true. Thanks to Nagi, the world doesn't scare me anymore.
"...... outside world, isn't it scary ......?
Yes. The only thing I'm scared of is being separated from Nagi...what?
Cecil!
I pulled Cecil's arm back.
As if to interrupt the space between me and the "Heavenly Dragon's Egg", I hug her thin body.
What is this?
It's strange. I'm going to be able to say that this is the first time I've seen it.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, it's shaking.
It's shaking and shaking, and it's flooding with magic that even I can tell.
Isn't this scary?
You sound like a little kid.
"Are we gonna do something terrible?
"Are you OK to be born at ......?
strutting
The egg is cracked.
From inside, light floods out. My vision turns white.
I hear a sly sound, as if something is coming out of the egg.
...... It's too early.
The 'Heavenly Dragon's Egg' is supposed to hatch from the land where the previous Heavenly Dragon died, absorbing magic power.
That was confirmed by Raizika, the mummy flying dragon. Even with Rafilia's knowledge, it was like that.
But we've only just put the eggs here.
I didn't expect it to hatch that quickly ............ when it did.
............ Huh? Doesn't it bother you? ......?
It's rather easy.
If you're born and fly away like this, our job is completely done, right?
The light disappeared and the creature appeared before our eyes.
He makes a wet sound and slowly gets up.
'...... white(white)'
That was my first impression.
Pure white.
Her face, her neck, her back.
The arms and legs, and the tiny tail.
The information that the hatched celestial dragon was about the size of a human child was correct.
A creature of this size could be born from that tiny egg - it's amazing. That's a different world. It easily transcends my imagination.
The newborn Tenryu looked at me with purple eyes...
"............? What's that, huh?
She shook her platinum blonde hair and smiled, looking flawless.
There were no scales to encircle his body, no wings.
All there is is a horn the size of an index finger behind the ear.
About 99% of the time - it took the form of a human being.
I'm not going to be able to get the same kind of results that I saw in the winged town of Charka, but I'm going to be able to get the same kind of vision of a white person that I saw in the winged town of Charka.
I'm not going to be able to get it right. I don't want to be ...... scary, right?
The tiny humanoid tendril reached out to me and Cecil.
When I reflexively touched it, she felt a jolt and withdrew her hand, sucked in her breath, and now firmly grasped my hand.
'Touching it is ............ heirloom...... gentle.'
Plain white hands.
Rounded, five fingers.
They were the palms of human beings, the palms of children.
'Wait a minute. Are you really ...... a dragon?
White is white, okay?
Then the little girl rubbed her cheek against my hand.
'Because you called me that.'
.............................. ........................ Yes?
Because everyone poured their hearts out to White and said, "I love you, Goshujin-sama, I love you." ...... I felt that people here were not scary, so I decided to be born ...... White.
Wait a minute, I don't see what you're talking about.
Pouring your heart out, who said that?
...... Tell White that the world isn't scary.
The pure white girl who called herself White, looking at me.
You don't have to work too hard, do you?
I don't need the magic power of the previous Heavenly Dragon, please ...... .......
He said that in a tearful voice.
