Volume 2 - CH 290

After we came out of the castle, we headed for the guild for the time being.

With Reizen sleeping, there was only me, Houen, and Alena who could be active.

I’m not sure who could have predicted that the number of people in the party would suddenly decrease to such a low number.

Well, while Reizen is sleeping, we have to evolve at least once!

Fuhuhuhu ……. I can just picture his surprised face.

But the problem is …….

[What kind of monsters will gain experience!!]

“That’s the question.”

All the monsters around here are no good at all!

Even if I eat their eggs, it won’t do me any good! Yeah, I figured that out!

I mean, the damn dictionary doesn’t do its job at all, does it?

I don’t expect it to work now, but is this the first time it’s happened?

That guy updates the dictionary from time to time.

Seriously, I’ll remember that, okay?

Anyway, I’d like a request where I can eat monsters while making some money.

As long as we keep a little bit of meat or material, we get the money and I get the experience, killing two birds with one stone. ……

What kind of monsters can we fight at our rank?

I remember that Gobokk or something was B rank.

If you ask me if I can get experience by eating that now, I’d say ……Hmm…….

I don’t think so.

So it would have to be an A rank monster to get the experience. ……?

Where can we find such monsters?

Are there any around here?

I think we have to go pretty far away to find them.

I wonder how long it takes to go back to human form this monster form….?

I’m getting really nervous.

[Ghhn……]

“…… Nariko hasn’t leveled up? If you are human, you can get experience by defeating monsters.”

[Stop calling me Nariko. Let’s see what’s up with my status. ……]

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Name : Ouren

Race   : Cast Off Dragon (Failed Dragon)

L V      : 165/300

HP       : 879/879

MP      : 1751/1751

Attack Power    : 881

Defense Power : 908

Magic Power     : 2277

Agility                 : 299

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Hmmm……… it hasn’t changed at all….

Now I’m finally at the turnaround point.

If I had eaten all the monsters I defeated back then, something would have changed, but I wasn’t in that situation. ……

The magic power is outstanding …….

My MP is also quite good, and with this, I will never run out of MP.

But there are some skills that consume a lot of MP, so I can’t be too careless.

“Houen, have you fought any strong monsters before?”

“…… No, no, no, I’ve never seen a more powerful monster, or a quirk, than that one already.”

“Which one?”

“Hmm? You see,……, that one,……. I’m not sure what to say….. errr.. it is that thing in the Zenki-village.”

What is he talking about?

[You okay?]

“No, I’m sorry, it’s nothing. Right, if I had to say something, I’d say …… bird!”

“eh?”

[…….]

Even if you just say [bird] I can only say what the heck it is.

It doesn’t seem like it would be helpful to ask, and we should hurry up and go to the Adventurer’s Guild and look at the request form.

After walking around with such a conversation for a while, the surroundings become a little noisy.

I looked around to see what was going on, but there were so many people passing by that I couldn’t really make out what was going on.

However, Houen and Alena seem to have been able to see it clearly.

“Hmm?”

“Wow! Amazing! What a beautiful monster!”

[…… Where?]

Because of my short height, I could only see the legs of a human being.

The silhouette can be recognized by checking with the haze manipulation, but even the color could not be seen.

I would definitely like to see it because it’s beautiful, but… in this situation, I don’t think I’ll be able to see it.

However, the monster is walking towards us, so we will be able to see it in a while.

As the monster moved, the people dispersed a little, and I was able to see its appearance.

A tiger with alternating colors of white and pale blue.

Seeing it, I immediately thought of a white tiger. (Byakko)

Perhaps it was the azure-colored fur, which seemed to glow slightly, that gave it its beauty.

It was about the size of an ordinary tiger, and next to it was a beautifully dressed child and a single soldier wearing armor.

Is this the person who is following that monster?

[…… No, no, no, no, hey the Byakko over there!]

[……!?…..]

I slapped my tail on the ground and made a sound, and when I called out to it, it stopped and turned to me with an obviously surprised expression on its face.

However, after thinking for a moment, it turned around and started walking again.

It seemed to decide to ignore me.

[Hey I know you’re there!]

[……Watashi nihongo wakarimasen ……] (it say : I don’t understand japanese)

[Your bluff comes out when you know I’m speaking japanese!]

[Aaaaah!]

Look how upset that fella is!

Houen is listening to these conversations.

But he understood it from the moment he saw it and didn’t seem too surprised.

Alena is always tilting her head, but let’s leave her alone for now.

The conversation here is the most crucial point.

It was a Byakko, and from the way the word [Japanese] was mentioned, …… this guy must be the fourth reincarnated person.

But wait, ……?

I’m going to say this since it’s already been confirmed, but our final evolution destination will be the four spirits, or the four deities.

With the four spirits, we can become Kirin, Hōō, Reigi, Ōryū.

The four deities would be the Sei ryū, Suzaku, Byakko, Genbu ……

In this case, are we the four deities rather than four spirits?

…… does that mean …….

Eh?

Reizen is going to be Genbu?

I don’t like that!!!

I would rather he become Reigi!!! (Black turtle I assume?) 

I’m afraid the tail snake will have a different personality!

[You ……]

Suddenly, the white tiger turned to me and stopped.

Finally, it seems that it listens to what I have to say.

[You …… are ugly.]

[SHUT THE F%*K UP!!!!!]

“Ha-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha! My stomach hurts! Ahahaha!!!!”

[I’m going to beat you up, you bastard!!]
