Monster no Goshujin-sama

32. Inside the Dragon Abyss

32.

In the unconscious forest of northern Akel, there are few species of descendants.

It will be because the fog makes it dim even in the day and does not provide enough sunlight for the growing of grass trees.

From the ground of exfoliation, only trees of the sea of trees grow that are not obstructed in fertility, even without the rays of the sun or otherwise.

However, because those trees can't feel the position of the sun either, the trunk never stretches straight.

On the reddish ground, the sight of twisted and crooked trees growing and all of them sinking into fog, if in a nutshell, is it something like 'magic'?

I walk with interest wondering if this is the forest inhabited by dragons.

"Oh, Takahiro."

Along with the call, the hem was pulled hard.

It was on the road a little further down to the dragon abyss.

When I dropped my gaze, Robbia was walking close.

Just a little, it's hard to walk.

Occasionally, her wings, which remained spread, hit this one and her back.

Nevertheless, I was not going to say anything in particular.

Because it was obvious that that was a manifestation of the anxiety she had.

"I don't know, can I ask you something?

Until yesterday I was a silent lobbyist, but this is how I ask a lot today.

I also tried to speak as lightly as possible because I knew it was a reversal of my anxiety.

"What. I told you to ask me anything you didn't know.

Robbie tilted her neck, shaking her red hair.

"Takahiro is with Lily, right?

……

I got more direct balloon questions than I thought.

"... uh. Well, yeah."

I care about my surrounding ears, but I have to answer more questions than I have told you to ask.

Robbia asks further.

"So, it's Gabella's turn, right?

"Ugh, um. That's right."

For some reason, this question was answered by Gabella, who was walking around.

"The concubine and the Lord are both thoughts."

Tighten your breasts abundantly, clench your fists and say.

A mundane and delightful mouth. The bright red face is adorable.

As far as I'm concerned, this situation, which also has other people's ears, is as embarrassing as it gets, but at the same time, it gives me pleasure in Gabella's honest statement of favor.

I guess this is the kind of weakness I fell in love with.

As he felt his cheeks have a little fever, Robbie looked back and reversed the inclination of his neck.

"Hmm? And yet, Gabella doesn't sleep in the futon with Takahiro, does she?

"Guha!?

Gabella screamed.

It was devastating.

"Well, there are difficult circumstances around here."

Gerbera, suspicious of her relaxation and footsteps, opened her mouth as she pressed her chest.

"Both thoughts are difficult."

"Hard?"

"Well I don't know... if I get too excited, I'm about to crush you about the Lord?

"Embrace...... Huh!?

Robbia, with her wings wide spread over her appalled applause, followed me in her arms.

"Oh, come on."

I'm about to get my foot caught in jeopardy.

but robbia hadn't heard.

Ringing in the back of his throat with Gru, even with his sharp eyes triangled, Robbia gazed at Gabella.

"... crush it?

The vigilance pouring out of his whole body was like a thorn.

"Tsu, crush it! Smash it! So you're not with the Lord, are you?

Garbera explains in a hurry.

It was a sight I had seen somewhere.

Yes. This is very similar to Gabella's diagram, which pisses Rose off.

What about the unexpected commonalities between thorny flowers?

Thinking about that, I heard a puff of voices erupting.

Looking back, the leading Cass just said "rude" and held down his license.

With her tender eyes, she watched Robbia staring at Gabella as she stuck to me.

Krull, and Robbia roared in the back of his throat, winged.

"I hope you don't crush it... so I don't know."

"Mm-hmm. I don't have a choice. When I get really excited, I can't apply or subtract the force. And the Lord, you'll see."

"I don't know, Gabella. I think it's just you..."

"Lord Lily!?

"Even though Gabella is strong, she's pathetic. You can't just tie your hands and feet."

"Mugu. Robbia. Your lord's pretty good at saying it too...... hmm? Tie it up?"

"Hey. You guys, I hope it sounds fun, but leave it at that. Even here, it's a coma forest. It's not like a monster isn't coming out."

I don't mind some chatter, but I'll be careful because it was a little too loose.

When I heard the thoughtful responses from each of them, I noticed that Robbie looked like she was doing something.

"What's up, Robbie? Something bothering you?

"Hey... I was wondering if that's why"

With his neck upwards, Robbie gazed at my face.

In the big reddish brown eyes with a hanging mood, he reflects what I look like and asks.

"Of Takahiro, you have the magic of Gabella and Lily. Is that because it's your turn?

"... what?

Seeing the reaction of those of us who opened their eyes, Robbie looked decent.

"Huh? Ooh, I said something weird...?

"Whatever Gabella's magic is... Lily's magic too? Is that true?

Shortly after I inquired, Lily, who was on the opposite side of Robbia, and Uluru Garbera moved.

"Hey, husband. Let me check."

"And concubines."

He leans himself from the side and behind.

"Wow," said Kay, who was walking in the corner.

It may look like a peachy sight, but as far as I'm concerned, it has a strong sense of capture.

There was no way I could have just walked, and I stopped a line.

A few seconds later, they let themselves go.

"... really. I have my magic."

"Hmm. I didn't realize you were too close."

Both of you, say it orally.

That seems to mean what Robbie was saying is true.

Speaking of which, even when we just met, I remember Robbie comparing us in a strange way.

That was because of the similarity of magic.

"But since when?

"... Speaking of"

To the words of Lily, who tilted her neck, I remembered.

"Did you feel like you had more magic these days? I didn't think that was because of Lily's increased magic."

In time, before and after the encounter of Misty Inn.

Sometimes I was taming my body with increased magic.

"At times, possible causes are… that Lily can now simulate Miho Mizushima's ability as a metastasizer?

Or… and I swallowed up the word I was about to say.

I thought it might also have something to do with being able to reproduce the power of Gabella's white atrocities, albeit for a moment, in the battle against the Mad Beast and the pure Takaya.

That was one big growth for me.

My abilities deepened and I took one step ahead.

Maybe there are other influences.

"I don't know, but you're saying it doesn't matter if it's your turn?

Where our thoughts converge, Robbia asks.

"Oh. What it has to do with whether you're a family member or not. Through the path, magic is pouring in."

"Phew."

Robbia, who remained stuck, closed her eyes just like the Lillies did earlier.

Wrinkle between eyebrows to show them how to concentrate.

"... ah. It's true."

Open your eyes, twinkle.

"Just a little bit, but also my magic. Others... hey, I can't feel it."

"It's a matter of magic."

Rose said.

"For I am not as magical as Gabella or Sister Lily. I guess I haven't been able to contribute to your husband's increased amount of magic.... In that sense, I'm the one who hasn't been most helpful to your husband"

"What are you saying? Rose would be the one who got all my gear. He's contributed enough."

"Even our gear."

If I said so, Lily also served her mouth.

"When I help Robbie, because the gear Rose made helped me. I appreciate that."

"Thank you"

Rose said in a slightly happy voice, bowing her head.

"More refinements will be made"

It was a serious girlfriend word.

"Well. It gets dark when you spend too much time. It's time to go."

Thaddeus urged a line that had stuck his legs together.

"Inside the Dragon Abyss, it's almost there"

Sadias' words were true.

Before it was enough, the fog that was standing so heavy cleared abruptly.

Like a goodwill or a curtain turned, white disappears from sight.

The next thing that popped into my eyes was the quiet water.

It's a huge lake with a small island in the center.

The bright white fog seems to be only clear in the range that surrounds the lake.

The sky was covered in fog, as if the lake had softly subsided inside the white dome.

From the surface of the lake, quiet as a mirror, a few thin water columns winding the vortex were seen rising.

Water flow from low to high.

That could not be the usual phenomenon, with the splash becoming a thick fog at the top edge of the water column, supplying a new fog to the white ceiling that spread over it.

The sight also seemed like a pillar of heaven supporting a giant ceiling, and I lost my word for a while.

"This lake is the source of fog. Misty water will eventually return to the earth and back to the lake as groundwater"

As I looked over at the sight in front of me listening to Sadias, by the lake, I found houses made of a combination of large rocks standing in one lump.

There's no other place that seems to be a residential area, and I guess that's in the dragon abyss.

So there's the History Knower over there.

"Let's come."

At the head of Cass, he walks out to circle the lake.

It was quite brighter than earlier because of the mist, but still a little dimmer.

Because of the fog covering up the sky, but even if this is the opponent flying in the sky, you won't be able to spot this inside.

As I walked, there was something stuck and hit my back.

It was Robbie's wing.

Seeing, the red-haired girl had her expression stretched to such an extent that it was no more.

It was also inexorable for anxiety to swell to the fullest because there was a inside in front of me that I didn't want to go home to.

"Hey, Robbie"

And I called, and I put my hand upon the head of the redhead.

It was rare to be paid off.

My reddish brown eyes just turned this way.

"What?"

The voice that returns is as hard as the expression.

Like nothing, I asked.

"What are you going to do when the discussion goes well?

"Huh?"

Robbia raised a bewildered voice.

"That's fine if you're going to live here, but if you're going out there, you're going to have to think about the future. Are you deciding what you want to do?

"I don't care what you say you want to do..."

It was what I expected, but Robbia didn't have the answer.

Whether you can get out of the inside or not. No, I guess I was full of young thoughts just to see if you could really listen.

But that shouldn't happen.

There must be hope for the future.

Because if that's the case, we can work hard right now.

"If only Robbie would come with us?

"With Takahiro and the others?

I don't rely on my returned voice.

There was anxiety, there was fear...... but there was certainly a glimmer of anticipation.

"... am I supposed to be with you?

"Of course."

I'll give you back the nod.

"I thought you said there was your magic in my body earlier. If Robbie wants to, I wish I could go with him as one of my family members."

"That's right."

From the other side of my body, Lily peered into Robbia's face.

"Because even Robbia is just like us. Because you can call me your sister, right?

"Ooh. That's good. Can I call you my sister too?

Gabella agrees with me as a delight.

On that white head there was a little shadow that jumped right on.

"Kuh!"

"Mm, what's up? Stop?"

Above Gabella's head, Ayama swelled trying to strain her chest.

Lily slapped Pong in the hand.

"Oh. Speaking of which, you're my sister."

"Kuh!

You're right, I snap my nose, and I just stop jumping.

Flying away, Robbia held its body in reflex.

The twinkled eyes and the three white eyes stare at each other.

"Ku!"

Somewhere proud, you can rely on it. The appearance of a quitter ringing all the time may never have looked like Rin.

"Ko... this is my sister..."

Lily smiled when she saw Robbie with a pitiful face and shrugged.

"So, what do you think?

"Ah, ugh. Uh."

Robbia, questioned, blushed a little.

After I let the words I don't get the guidelines play in my mouth, I lean down.

"Or... think about it"

"Oh well. Fun."

I made sure the shadow of anxiety was fading from the girl's heart, and I laughed again a little and let go of the hand I had placed on her head.

This won't mean we can't say what we want to say, as long as it's a discussion.

"Hmm?"

So I noticed that Cass, the lead actor, was looking back.

The expression doesn't change, but she had some kind of cut eye.

What is it? It was a disturbing gaze.

"... Huh!?

The Cass accidentally squeezed his expression sharply.

Looking back, he glances beyond the white fog wall that surrounds the lake.

Almost at the same time, Sadias was pointing that way.

It was shortly after that that one man emerged from scratching the fog of illusion.

"Become!?

It was a terribly powerful man who stood in the way of our marvels.

Wouldn't there be two and a half meters of body wrapped in the same costume as the Sadias?

That's all tall, but the impression is big on the side.

His face was square, his thick neck had muscles all over it, and his arms and the like were like a whole tooth.

I guess the description of being human apart... is not an appropriate expression because he would also be one of the dragons in the dragon abyss than he is here, but whatever it is, it definitely was an eye-catching appearance.

"Rex."

"How did you get here..."

Sadias and Cass say it orally, but the man ignored it.

Seeing Robbia with a few eyes.

"You're not allowed to leave, Patricia."

Say it in a thick voice.

Patricia was the name in Robbia.

And I knew the name of a man named Rex, whom Sadias and his men had spoken.

I had heard beforehand from Sadias that there was a party inside that was opposed to Robbia leaving the inside, which should be called a conservative.

Lex should have been the name of one of the most pioneering men.

Though I didn't expect to come out at this time.

"Ah, uh..."

By my side, Robbia was paling her face.

This can't even be a decent talk.

We didn't have to deal with it here.

"Hey. Wait a minute, Rex"

You thought the same way I did, Sadias circled in before Rex.

"If you think you suddenly show up, what are you talking about? Or hiding and listening is bad behavior"

"What's wrong with me being the guardian of the inside against the intruders?"

Lex, who says so, apparently hid in the mist and waited for us.

That fog has a delusional effect. Even Gabella's inability to read the signs would be caused by the area.

Sadias sighed loudly.

"Intruder? Takahiro Mashima's visit should have been contacted in advance."

"I don't remember agreeing."

Rex glanced at Sadias and Cass.

"What are you thinking, Sadias? And so is Catherine. Bringing humans inside, etc."

"He's a contractor for Misty Lodging."

"Even so, it's human. Just a contractor can be trustworthy."

In a way, saying something straight, Rex clenched his rocky fist.

Humans are trustworthy.

It was a stubborn word.

At the same time it contained something faintly sad.

"We dragons should not leave this house. Why don't you see that? Weren't we supposed to know that then...?

"Rex......"

Sadias' voice calling his name also has pain.

What happened to them?

I do not know that I have not yet exchanged words with 'those who know history'.

Still, I could see that the big man in front of me was deeply saddened by something, just hearing its voice color.

But it was also for a moment that he was sinking into grief.

"How can you leave Patricia to the humans?"

I told him to throw it away, and Rex's eyes turned this way.

All that was there was already one color of hostility.

"Look closely. It's the humans there. Leave Patricia to the poor like that. What if there is? What if such a filthy person finds out about the existence of the inside and something happens?"

Rex glanced at me from the front.

But his eyes didn't seem to see the presence of me.

He doesn't recognize me as an individual.

Words spoken are not against me.

It was an expression of distrust for the existence of man, an exasperation of anger up to the immense.

"Go home, man. Forgive me for helping Patricia, but I won't just take her life."

Presence comes to pass.

Even a large body, unlikely as a human being, a mass that seems tiny.

Dragon intimidation.

... I couldn't have cowered you here.

"We're here to talk. Let me through there."

I never looked back at the big man from the front.

Only for a moment, Rex looked surprised.

It seems surprising that I wasn't afraid of him here.

But that's all.

"... it's not worth listening to the filthy human language"

Cut to a word, threw it away, and Rex took a step.

Sadias and Cass dropped their hips.

When I have to, I guess I'm going to hold Lex back.

Even if he sees both of them like that, the big man takes the walk without a single look.

Tension strains me.

It was then.

"... wait a minute, Rex"

A young voice called a man.

"What is it now?

It was Robbia who asked.

The voice had no trembling, and the air trembled quietly enough to soothe.

"... no"

Rex put his foot together.

The reason is clear.

What stood for the big man was in Robbie's voice today.

"Did you say something about Takahiro, being filthy or something?

Making a buckwheat noise, the girl's arms turned to those of a dragon.

In the open eye, the pupil dilates like a lizard's.

As if to represent the girl's inner heart, puffiness and firepowder erupted from her muffled mouth.

"You're superior without knowing anything, man. I'll kill you."

It was completely clean.

Temporarily, but I've even forgotten that I was so frightened.

She's a dragon, whether it's small or not.

The intimidation that erupts from the girl's short body is no less than Rex's.

"... well, it's just a little too much right now"

And the other one.

On the surface there was someone with a quiet attitude but angry mind.

"That attitude toward your husband, who came to discuss it. You can't have seen it."

A martial bone axe with a long pattern was thrown out as it slipped out of the pocket of a simple design apron.

"I ask you to withdraw"

Rose stood next to Robbia, shaking the gray hair she had turned into Mitsumi.

- As a matter of fact, a demonstration on this occasion is more necessary than we are accompanying Robbia as a deterrent so that the dragon clan does not work out of order.

When it comes to sincerity, it can be established if the other person also has it together.

Taking that as just sweetness doesn't mean anything.

Don't be licked.

I know that much, and Rose must have pulled out his weapon.

... Nevertheless, such reasoning was, as such, true that Rose was angry.

Otherwise, the time between judgment and action is too short.

Usually you calm down, and when it comes to me, Rose has a low boiling point.

The only difference between Robbia and Rose is the difference between exploding at a beautiful moment, or swallowing anger once to make a rational decision and then pushing the switch.

Therefore, the two wheels of flowers peel out the thorns here.

It was Sadias who panicked about this.

"Ma, wait!

If the battle starts here, it could already be a war between our factions and our villages.

You can't even admit that... No, I'm not seriously going to fight for this one more than this is a demonstration, so if that happens, I'm just going to let Robbie get away with it, but I guess that's going to get Sadias in trouble too.

"Rex! Come on!

I looked up at the giant body and yelled at him.

"If you disrespect Takahiro any more, I will be your opponent"

"Are you insane, Sadias? Are you arguing with dragons?"

Thick eyebrows, Rex asks.

"It's better than letting Takahiro fight them."

"... out into the outside world, are you crazy"

The roaring voice rose.

"This is why you don't need to let the 'Seeker'..."

"You're out of your mind to be told you're crazy, etc. I believe that Takahiro will give us a future that was blocked."

Sadias returned it only quietly, but in a resolute tone.

That was a word that had been heard before.

- I wonder if your presence is also some kind of hope.

I don't know what Sadias sees in my presence.

However, when he looked at Robbia with a merciful eye, he turned that eye into that of the dragon.

"If you want to interrupt any more, let me knock you out. We can't lose the connection between Takahiro and Takahiro in the corner."

"The future in the blockade," he said? What can you do to a filthy person! It's closed, what's wrong!? If it's enough to lose something important, it would be better there!

"Then he says there is no future!

"That's something you can say because you can live outside. We have nothing but this place!

As we yelled at each other, the plating of people was slowly coming off, whether they were both getting excited.

Scales spread to the skin, fangs pointed.

Threatening voices rise from the back of my throat. We were both in a state of war no longer.

"Sadias...... Rex......"

Can't you decide to be ready to go that far instantly, Cass was comparing the two in his body with one, hasty look.

Her face was brighter.

There was a woman running over here with her gaze pointed.

"Ella!"

Hearing Cass's call like relieved, the two men were dull in their wars.

Soon after, a woman arrived at the scene.

She was an elderly woman who looked a little older than the Sadias.

"... if you didn't think you'd see him in the morning, were you here, Rex"

The woman who rushed turned her eyes to blame Rex first.

"I..."

"I don't have ears to ask. Stay back."

Letting Rex twitch, the woman turned to me.

I can't feel any hostility.

She lowered her head gently.

"Well done for coming, contractor of 'Misty Vault'"

Apparently, she welcomed me.

Now, three on one.

Lex just doesn't feel like rambling in this situation either, he just yelled.

"Ella! You, weren't you against Patricia leaving the inside!?

"I disagree. … but that and respect for the contractor is something else"

Among the dragons, there seems to be a different way of thinking.

This woman must be moderate among conservatives.

"More importantly, I do not necessarily consider the existence of man to be evil"

"But..."

"Besides, it's the chief who makes the decision. The chief says he'll see you. I'll say it again. Stand down."

Raising his voice all the time, Rex blushed.

"... on your own. But I'll be there to discuss it with you!

When he abandoned him, Rex turned his heel back.

I step aside and leave.

We dropped off the giant as it grew smaller.

Someone breathes in relief.

If you look, the woman was turning a smile that she seemed to be sorry for this one.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, Takahiro. I apologize for the rudeness of my countrymen."

"No. I don't care that much"

Rex and I didn't have a conversation from start to finish.

But at the same time, it also means that there was not a single word in that man's mouth that was directed at an individual named me.

Now even if I get angry, I'm just vain.

A man steps into the dragon's lair. I could have predicted that this would be possible from the start, and Robbie and Rose were angry with me. I didn't mean to say anything more.

Besides, thoroughly, all that was on Rex's head was inside.

I don't trust humans.

I just want to live quietly inside.

I can't say enough about that as a whole wrong idea, and there are parts of me that I can empathize with.

All I said to him was that I was an outside enemy who disturbed the peace inside.

That's it, and I'm sure he's not a bad guy.

"More than that, can you show me to the chief?

"Yes, Cath, show me around."

"Wow, I get it"

The woman nodded back at Cass's reply, looking back as if she had noticed something.

"And welcome home, Patty."

Robbie, who was gazed at, was frightened.

The heat of anger, which had been burning earlier, had disappeared, and although it had been a little dull, I would still say it clearly.

"... my name is Robbia"

"Oh, speaking of which, that's what you called it now. So long, Robbie. Again, welcome back."

The woman smiled with a grin.

"I'm glad to see you're safe."

Built on the lakeside, a few houses were different from what you would see in town, although building is the rustic stone building.

Quite frankly, it's big.

The sense of scale is crazy.

"Some people say it's easier to look like a dragon when they sleep."

"I see. Are you also making it available in the form of dragons"

Convinced by Cass' words, I asked.

"So, what building is the chief in?

"The Chief is not here."

"What do you mean?

"That's where the chief is."

What Cass pointed to was a small island poking in the middle of a vast lake spraying up the water column.

There was a small mountain on the island, and a monastery was seen built in the distance.

"Are you in there...?

"Yeah, I'll be right over there."

The clan in there, naturally, can all fly, so it's not bridged.

We rode with Cass and Sadias, and we crossed over to the island.

Fly away and get off to the island.

At that point, I realized that I had made one big mistake.

He walked the island at the head of Cass, through the sides of a temple the size of common sense, unlike the other buildings inside, to the centre of the island.

There, "The Knower of History," and Rex, who seemed to have been ahead of him, were waiting.

"... you've come a long way"

A slightly obscure, murky voice greeted us.

The central part of the thing, also visible as a large rock, ten meters wide and five meters high, which was beside Rex, was ripped apart completely.

What just showed up was a giant eyeball.

I can't help but breathe like this.

If what is also visible as a large rock is a horizontal head.

Because what seemed like a mountain in the distance was the whole body of a giant dragon.

"You..."

"Oh. That's right. I am the crustacean dragon Malvina. He's the chief who can control this place."

A dragon, the head of the Thadias clan, who was asked to meet Salvia.

It was a giant dragon like a mountain, over fifty meters long.
