Chapter 20-: The Power of the Dragon Tribe

Kanade and Tania watch as Rain flaps his wings, assimilated into a wild bird.

Rain disappeared beyond the sky: ......

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

Speaking of which ... Rain's guy, I said briefly, it takes a lot of magical power to fly a thought wave ... When I met him last time, it didn't seem to have that magical power.  It's not impossible, but ...... if your magic power is low, there should be more noise mixed in. And yet, I could hear the voices so clearly. ......"

"What do you mean?

"Hmmm. ...... Let's check it out later, shall we?

――――――――――

After a couple of laps around the perimeter, I returned to Kanade and Tania's place.

I unassimilated with the wild birds and returned to my body.

"Hmm. After all, don't calm down. When you assimilate, it feels strange. I feel like I'm really a bird and I can't come back."

"Welcome back."

"So what's the harvest?"

"Yeah, it's good. I found a large amount of slime about five kilometres east of here. I'm pretty sure it's the one you asked for.

"All right, let's go. It's a race to the spot. The loser gets to buy everyone a meal. Okay, ......, let's go!

"I can't lose!"

The two of them ran out and quickly became a point.

"There's no way ...... I'm going to beat them.

I mean, I'm the one who holds the wallet for this party, so I'm going to get rid of it after all?

I chased after them, sighing in despair.

It took me three minutes of light running, trying not to use up all my energy.

I caught up with them.

Even though my physical abilities have been enhanced by signing a contract with Kanade, I still couldn't catch  them.

"Rain is the last one!"

Become a gochi ♪"

"You guys ... well, no. That's ..."

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Around the border between the forest and the plain, there was something fluttering.

A lot more than a hundred slimes are swarming around, melting the plants and trees and rotting the earth.

I see.

As expected, we can't leave this behind.

It's turning into a bit of a disaster.

"Well, let's get rid of it quickly!"

Kanade lifted up the rocks.

She lifted it easily, as if she didn't feel the weight of the rock, even though it was tens of times bigger than she was.

"Are you going to smash it?

"Yeah. I don't want to touch it."

"I'm afraid it's going to be a disaster in more ways than one. ...... But it's very destructive.

There are over a hundred slimes.

The sun would go down if I was attacking every now and then.

"Will Tania attack with a fireball or breath? I'm aiming for something they missed hunting."

"Before that, I'd like you to give it a try ... Can Rain use magic?"

"Hmm?　　I can use beginner heal and fireball. ......"

When I was at a brave party, I learned magic about something useful.

Most of all, I wasn't talented and could only learn beginner magic.

"Can you attack me with the fireball?

"What's the point? Beast Tamer's magic power is negligible. ......

"Just try it. There you go underestimating yourself again. Oh, don't be shy, give it your all."

"Okay, okay. Don't push, okay? Don't push me any further or I'll run into a bunch of slime.

What the hell does Tania want?

There's nothing interesting about my magic. ......

Anyway, I'll do as she said.

Concentrate the magic power in the palm of your hand.

Construct a magic formula in my mind.

And then unleash it all at once!

"Fireball!"

Fireball is an elementary magic that anyone can use, and it can create a fireball the size of a fist.

The power of the fireball is such that it can only kill one slime.

And yet, ......

"Huh?"

"Nya?"

The fireball that I released grew into a huge fireball the size of a man.

It's not just a fireball, it continues to grow and lands in the centre of a ...... pack of slime.

A fierce explosion of flames erupted, sending up a pillar of fire that seemed to reach the heavens.

The swarm of slimes, which must have been over 100, was wiped out.

"Na, na ...... what the hell is this?

"Nyah ......, it's over in an instant ......."

While Kanade and I were stunned, Tania nodded with a convincing face.

"Hmm, after all"

"Do you have any idea now ...?"

"Rain contracted with Kanade to get the physical strength of the cat spirits, right? ... What would he get if he contracted with me?

"Oh."

"The correct answer is the magical power of the dragon race. You know that the dragon people have high physical abilities, but they also have a strong magical power, right?　　When we fly, when we create fireballs, and when we breathe out breath, it's all because of our magic power. That's why it's said that they have the second highest magic power among the strongest species. That's why Rain has obtained the magical power of the dragon race.

"Really? ......

"Seriously.

Not only does he have the power of the cat spirit tribe, but he also has the magic of the dragon tribe. ......

There are so many things going on that I can't keep up with my perception of reality.

Until recently, I was a beast tamer who was only used at brave parties, but ...

I feel as if I'm dreaming.

"That's the end of the explanation. So, let's collect the magic stones later."

"Nya !? There is still slime left."

"Oh"

More slimes appeared from the forest in the back.

Was the information about 100 slimes wrong? ......

Or was the population increasing by repeating divisions by the time we arrived?

Either way, we need to get rid of these guys too.

"Just as well. Let's use them as Rain's training ground.

"What do you mean?

"Rain has the magic of the dragon race, but he can't control it well, right? Magic is more difficult to control than the body. If you don't practice when you can, it will hurt you later.

"Rain, go for it!"

"I'm still in shock. My thought process is a little numb. ......

"Pull yourself together. you are our masters.

"...... Yes, that's right. I need to be strong."

to be not ashamed to stand next to you two.......

I need to grow stronger and more powerful.

"Can you teach me how to handle my magic?

"Sure. I'm going to give you a hard time.

"...... Please be as gentle as possible.

"Go for it, go for it, Rain. Don't lose, fight, Rain.

While being cheered on by Kanade, ......

With the cheers of Kanade ...

While learning to control magical power, I kicked off the rest of the slime.

...... Tania's teaching method was Sparta.

tight.

It was hard.

However, thanks to that, I have become able to control magical power to some extent.
