Chapter 138 No Good Vacation 2

Part 2

I was shocked by Sytry Onee-sama’s harsh words, but there was no time to stop.

The frivolous dragon that spat out hot water with its breath, was proudly puffing out its chest as if it was showing off its dignity as a king. If I succeed to defeat a dragon like this one, I would be too embarrassed to call myself a Dragon Slayer.

Master, my only hope I could rely on, was frozen with a calm, Buddha-like expression on his face.

Tino gathered her resolve.

This is ―― A trial. Perhaps... Probably, as Sytry Onee-sama said, this is a trial. This must be Master’s benevolence.

It is too much, Master......

Tino swallowed back her tears and stepped towards the clear and frivolous dragon.

§ § §

The light blue dragon greatly slides on the ground, shows its belly, and tumbles down.

On the other side, Tino crouched down, hid her body with both of her hands, and sobbed.

“Uuuuh...... Hiku...... So mean, Masuda...... Doing diz......” (Tino)

Tino, so strong. Was she always this strong?

Clearly, she was more powerful than when she fought against the Rabbit Research Club. It was like a joke when the punches and kicks from a petite Tino blew away the round and plump dragon.

Due to scratches from its claws, a tattered towel was thrown away nearby. As expected, she couldn’t hold it in place and threw it away. Tino’s fiery movement she showed earlier was like a dream compared to how she is right now.

I had planned to speak up if there was an emergency, but in the end, the battle ended without needing to.

You don’t need to worry, you know...... I was careful to not look at you. I am a pro when it comes to not looking at things.

Sytry, who went to pick up a towel in the dressing room, returned.

Tino said it was my fault, but I am going to let Sytry take care of this. It isn’t my fault, you know.

............ Weeell, I guess I am not without blame.

Obstinacy was what was inside Arnold’s mind. It could also be described as belief or pride.

The castle looming in front of me looked no different than it did a few days ago.

Nothing has changed, not the swirling thunderclouds, neither the quietness filling the place.

In other words, this is ―― The normal state of a Level 8 Treasure Shrine, something that didn’t exist around Nebranubes.

I don’t plan to bury my bones here. I can tell by instinct. It is probably impossible to break through it.

However, once I take a step inside and experience the difficulty of the Treasure Shrine, which 《Infinite Variety》 went hunting with only a small group, then I can accept the reality.

This is ―― Where we settled our fight.

Suddenly, Hay’s eyebrow twists and said in doubt. He looked around, but all he could see was an unobstructed plain with no Monster, not even a carriage in sight.

“...... There’s no carriage. Are they really in there......” (Hay)

“...... They should, be. They haven’t bluffed in any of their actions they took so far. But, those kinds of things don’t matter anymore.” (Arnold)

“Ah, of course, I understand. What our Leader is thinking about, that is.” (Hay)

Hay forced a smile and laughed.

As if waiting for Arnold, the huge gate opened. The frosty air enveloped Arnold and his companions.

And so began 《Heavy Lightning Strike》 challenge against the Treasure Shrine.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Extra chapter thanks to Aditya and Mohammad for their ko-fi!

Well looks like Tino defeated the dragon by punching and kicking it to death (while being naked). GJ Tino!

And lessons of the day always have preparation, even when you go take a bath!

Now it is time for Arnold & co’s Infinite Trial!

Tchao à plus!
