Volume 2 - CH 306

Chapter 7-26. Hurry up!!

“Oh, I see! It was an unusual monster, so I was a little curious ……. Is it a chimera?”

“Err, no, I don’t know. It was given to me by my master.”

“Is that so?”

A chimera …… terrible, isn’t it?

I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be a chimera or not, but it seems that way, doesn’t it?

However, I am not a person who was the result of being a chimera. (Is this FMA reference?)

You understand?

“Dolce, we want to start the conversation.”

“Oh, of course you do. Excuse me. Please wait a moment.”

Alena urged Dolce to turn off the lamps around him one by one.

All that remained was the candlestick on the desk.

After instructing the others to gather around it, he closed his eyes and muttered a few words on his skill.

“[Silence.]”

The sensation of that time comes back to me.

Alena seemed to feel a little chilly from it and shrugged.

“This will be okay. But would you prefer that I not be here?”

“My apologies.”

“No, no, no. When you are finished, blow out the candle. Then this silence will be lifted. Now, please …….”

After saying that, Dolce went back to his job.

Although his job was probably just to feed his merchandise.

But now we have a place where we can talk calmly.

Now all that’s left to do is to check the …… information.

“So let’s get right to it ……. Let’s continue where we left off. Ouren, who was the person Reizen met with?”

[I think it was Irza. The owner of the magic tool store.]

“Irza,…… shopkeeper,…… sorry, I have never heard of her.”

[It’s in a pretty obvious location, and it’s starting to thrive these days, thanks to the kids. Don’t you know?]

Well, apparently she didn’t want to do the job …….

Once I got mad at her for being such a brat when the kids were doing so well.

When I was invited to the house, I wondered what it was all about.

But I think it was Irza that Reizen had met.

There are many people dressed like that, but I have information that she was a masculine mannered woman and that she had a child with her.

I cannot be sure yet, but there is a high probability that it was her.

We’ll find out when we get there, so I’ll leave the rest to Houen.

“I understand. Then I’ll go there later.”

[So, how did it go with you?]

“I have no clue.”

Bro,…… the only information you brought back was the story of Reizen,…….

“Um, would you mind explaining it to me too?”

“I intend to. The first thing is the mysteries …… we’re chasing, or rather the devil. ……”

After that, Fenghuang began to talk to Lize about us.

The fact that the horde of monsters rushed to the Kingdom of Salettana was intentional, guided by the devil and using what appeared to be a magic tool called a magic crystal.

From what the devil said, they knew what happened 500 years ago, and that they had something to do with the previous White Snake.

And that the White Snake knew that we were going to be reincarnated. ……

At any rate, we shared all the information we knew with Lize.

Now we are chasing the mystery of why the attack on the Kingdom of Salettana is supposed to be of our help.

That might tell us something if we can find out what we can about the devil.

So now we are wondering if we can find out something by talking to Irza, who Reizen met and who knows about the existence of the magic crystal.

Besides that, we don’t know much else.

Why did the previous White Snake erase the memories of the oni?

Why did the oni inherit the skills of the previous generation?

Why did the previous White Snake know that we were going to be reincarnated?

Why were the devils possessing Lequam?

What is that magic crystal?

What exactly happened 500 years ago?

What did they fight against?

What is the relationship between the devil and the previous White Snake ……?

All of these things are still unknown.

If only Irza really knew about the magic crystal and could listen to what we had to say, she might be able to figure something out.

Or rather, no more information will come out now unless we contact the devil.

They really are a nasty bunch …….

“I have a general idea of what you’re talking about,……. But I’m ……”

“I know. You can do your thing. But as long as there was a previous generation of white snakes, there must have been a previous generation of me, and a white tiger, and a tortoise. It is safe to assume that our existence had something to do with it. I just wanted to share that with you.”

“…… So. I will try to gather some information. About the devil, of course.”

“Mm, I’d appreciate it if you could.”

In the meantime, it seems that Lize is also willing to help us, even if it’s not full cooperation.

That alone should be enough.

“We never know what the devil will do next, do we?”

“Alena is right. We were no match for Dacia, the leader of the devils.”

“Aren’t you an A rank?”

“I haven’t attacked them directly, but he stopped the oni Uchikage’s kick with one hand and breakthrough Alena’s heavy weight.There is no doubt that he is quite a skilled fighter…….”

Indeed, I couldn’t do anything about it at the time.

My MP was running out,……, that would be an excuse, but I couldn’t do anything about it either.

But those are the people who will do that much.

Who knows which country will be the next victim.

If I could find out which country would be affected next, that would be the best, but unfortunately, I don’t have that kind of network.

To begin with, we have not even heard of any devil if we did not encounter them at that time.

I wonder what they are really doing. ……

“Umm,hey. This isn’t just a problem for the Kingdom of Salettana, is it?”

[That’s what I’m saying.]

“Wait, that means I have to do you a favor!”

“Still going with that, ……. Can’t you do it yourself?”

“I can’t do it, that’s why I’m asking Ouren to do it for me! At the very least, become a human being as soon as possible!”

[Ouch it hurts hurts hurts! Hey, stop!]

Don’t pull my wings, damnit!

It hurts even if it’s only because you’re being screwed by Houen!

“But if Ouren doesn’t become a human, it will be a great hindrance to future information gathering and combat. You must act on the basic premise that you will evolve by working yourself to the bone.”

[I know that. ……]

I never thought that not being human would be such a huge deal. ……

Let’s still chalk this all up to that void dictionary.

Or rather, it’s that guy’s fault!
