Monster no Goshujin-sama

Twenty.

"I'm a little late. Have you kept me waiting?"

What showed up was a boy who had somewhere conceited his tricks.

It soon became clear that he was Okazaki.

At the school I used to attend, the school year was the same, so I looked familiar to my face.

They're finally here.

When he looked around the room, he deliberately raised a single eyebrow.

"What is it?"

It's obviously the kind of character that makes you look at this situation of awkward air flow and ask without looking particularly concerned about it... well, that's what it is.

Most importantly, words and deeds that do not read such air were convenient in this setting.

I thought it was a chance to restore this strange air to zero from your handwasher's accusations.

... I don't think that thought in itself was a misjudgment.

But those thoughts were overshadowed by unexpected.

"Are you…"

Ella, standing on the wall as an escort, gave her a pompous voice.

I had an eye for something incredible.

And negative emotions lingered until it hurt in those eyes.

"What are you-!

A scream filled with hatred was raised.

That was not a limited reaction to Mr. Ella alone.

All the dragons in the dragon abyss on the spot were releasing their intentions to fight.

"Mr. Ella......!?

This is not good.

It's not like Kato and your handwasher had a verbal fight earlier.

When it comes to fighting in a place like this, everything can be doomed.

I don't know why I messed up when I saw Okazaki, but I couldn't let him have a fight.

But what do we do?

You want me to give instructions to Gabella, Lily, and Silan to stop it?

No. The dragons have numbers, and they have more power than that.

Then we won't make it.

What to do - and I just thought, signs of too much magic filled the room.

"Huh......!?

It was too heavy a magic force that would just make me bend my knees.

The next moment, the white light burned my vision.

White brilliance was blocking the leaping dragons and Okazaki.

"This one..."

The identity of the white glow was a beautiful sword, like that made by cementing the light.

The blade crossing is long enough to traverse the room and stretches straight.

Behind the back of its beauty, I felt the power to the point of stifling.

It's an overwhelming force that could blow up to your shoulders if a regular person touches you with his fingertips.

Even Ella and the others, who were driven by hatred, were making moves.

That's all that was in the sword.

"That's it."

Mr. Nakatsuki opened his mouth.

He remained seated, protruding the sword of shining light.

Until just now, I didn't have anything like that anywhere.

In that moment, it seems, it means that you have formed this many substitutes.

My throat snapped even though I wasn't pointing a cut.

This is the Sword of Light - the most powerful power of the expedition.

Most importantly, Nakatsuki at the time looked around at the situation indoors without even looking nervous.

"You calm down, huh?

When I say that, I lightly erase my sword.

Nevertheless, after being shown that, no one will be able to maintain the same energy to go on offense anymore.

The dragons in the dragon abyss stood in a state of frustration.

And so Okazaki raised his voice.

"Yes, what is it all of a sudden?!

Where the voice comes from is low.

He slipped out of his hips and crawled to the floor.

Well, I don't have any minds, and as soon as I walked into the room, I had to put a muzzle in front of me - rather a cannon or something missile-level - so it's like being poked at.

There was no sign of this one coming out to fight back either.

It was my chance to put this place away.

While thanking Nakatsuki, I opened my mouth before anyone else could move out.

"Mr. Ella. Can you tell us what it means?"

"Dear Takahiro..."

When asked, Ella looked back at me.

I guess I remembered the situation.

I usually got a look on my loose face that I couldn't wait to see.

"Ah... ugh. I'm sorry, Takahiro. While you are escorted..."

"I don't think Ella and the others would do that for no reason. What happened?"

When I asked again, hatred again dwelt on Ella's expression.

Returning calm doesn't change the emotions you hold.

Staring at Okazaki, who stood up nicely, Ella told him.

"... that's one of the people who killed our family."

With a slight face, everyone on the spot saw Okazaki.

Okazaki himself looked terribly surprised.

"Ha!? What are you talking about, you?"

I guess I don't have any idea.

But somehow I was getting the situation.

"Okazaki"

When I called, Okazaki turned to me.

"Hey, what is it? I mean, you, who"

"It's Takahiro Mashima. We were supposed to meet today."

"Oh. You, no. Are you?"

The language is taken care of as to whether there is finally room back.

But that doesn't matter.

Whatever. I asked.

"I have a question. Do you have any idea what a dragon crusade is?"

"... how could you do that?"

Okazaki looked a little surprised.

As I thought, they have an idea.

When he could pull in the surprise, he deliberately shrugged his shoulder.

"Well, okay. I don't know what you mean, but if you're known, you can't help it. Yes, Shigeru Shimiya from Dragon Man asked me to help him crusade the dragon. It was a pretty strong one, and sacrificed. Well, it would have been dangerous without my help."

He even talks about things he hasn't heard.

I guess I'm good at it anyway, because this is an achievement for him.

"When..."

Kuriyama snapped.

Apparently, even the expedition didn't grasp this behavior of Okazaki.

Even for me, I didn't think there were any human beings involved in the raid in the dragon abyss from among them who were supposed to be on their way to the Imperial capital.

But speaking of which, Okazaki's ability was to use the 'all-purpose vessel' - the ability of others?

If so, it is never possible to combine Shimazu-san's "Circle of Fairies" or around Iino's "Weiwaten" to go far away.

I hear it was common for the expedition to stay a few days in the town where they stopped, so there should have been some time.

Participating in a monster crusade is not uncommon if you are a member of an expedition.

But in this case, they were bad.

"So, what the hell is wrong with that?"

Once again, the dragons murdered Okazaki, shrugging his shoulders.

I opened my mouth while still thanking you for keeping me down without being attacked.

"The settlement you destroyed is where they come from."

"What?"

Okazaki looked at what he was talking about.

"So they're dragons"

"... what?

Even so far, he looked like he hadn't swallowed it yet.

Most importantly, Ella and the others are no different from humans today, and Okazaki, who has been delayed, has not been introduced.

I don't suppose you think that identity is a dragon.

Seeing such an outrageous vendetta, Ella spun her words as she let herself tremble in anger.

"Our settlements have been attacked by transferees. At that time, the dragon that was there was us. I saw with these eyes that you magically smashed Rex's... brother's head."

Emotions daunted me as I said it, Ella's appearance transforms.

Turn your face into a scaly, eyeball resembling a lizard.

The stretched fangs tend to make noises, the hands turned to those of the dragon, the wings and tails of the dragon stretched.

Okazaki shook his shoulder in disfigurement.

"Oh, no... no way, really?

Exactly, he couldn't help but grasp the situation.

With a cramped face, he looked back at Mr. Ella and the dragons in the dragon abyss around him.

And I shook my head to the side.

"And I don't know..."

The first thing that came out of that mouth was a complaint rejecting the situation.

"What the hell is that! You don't know that! Even people who can turn into dragons!? Then you should have said so!

"You must be the one who has launched the attack without question!

Ella screamed back.

"After they magically blew up the settlement, one of the surviving brothers tried to speak to you and was killed as a human being! In the first place, the words didn't even make sense!

I hear about the backdrop of the raid in the dragon abyss.

A group of transferees broke through the fog line where only dragons could escape.

This is probably due to the ability to turn into the dragon of Jingu Shi Chiya of "The Dragon Man".

They first stormed inside in small numbers so that they would never be caught out.

The first blow was caused by magic.

Then, in the short time that a handful of first battles and the dragons in the dragon abyss were fighting, the fog junction was broken, and the reinforcement transferees arrived.

The situation was decided lightly, and Malvina withdrew herself where it was quickly wiped out, thus keeping the metastasized.

'The words did not make sense', said Ella, meant that the demon stone of the translation had not been activated.

In crusading monsters with only the transferees, I guess because the demon stone of translation was not what was needed.

And perhaps the first wave of the raid saw the inhabitants in the dragon abyss who looked like people and decided they were monsters turned into humans.

In fact, there are examples like Doppel Genger, so it's not unnatural to think of them as having such abilities.

Most importantly, I don't think it's strange to suspect that they're just monsters if you see what they're doing inside... whimper, because all of a sudden you magically blew it all up, is that you didn't see it?

Unfortunately, the actual circumstances around there were unlikely to be heard.

"I don't know! I don't know that!

Okazaki gave a golden voice.

"Okazaki, you..."

"Shut up!"

I'll try to speak up, but I didn't even have an island to mount.

However, I guess Okazaki didn't participate in the first wave of the raid because the twitching appearance of 'I don't know' doesn't even seem to be lying.

After the residents returned to the dragon and entered the full-scale battle, he entered the battle.

Then you can't even know what happened before that.

I didn't think I had a choice.

Instead, we didn't talk about it.

"I don't know! I don't know! I'm not bad!

In fact, Okazaki probably didn't know.

I knew perfectly well that I assumed I had done the right thing.

So the situation is flipping and hesitating so hastily, and the reality is not directly visible.

But nevertheless, this attitude was too much contempt for the victim's feelings.

"You…"

There's no reason for Ella to get upset.

"Ella."

It was Robbia who spoke to her like that.

There's something intuitive about her, which, surprisingly, never showed a bare gesture of being attacked by Okazaki this time.

On the contrary, it was turning to the side of curbing things.

"Just about."

Robbia said in a suppressed low voice.

"But, Patricia..."

"There's no point in blaming him. Not worth it enough to blame. Not to mention, if you fight here, Takahiro will annoy you. Absolutely not."

Robbia, who said so, was not fine with anything.

Those eyes were staring at Okazaki for all the shooting, and he was biting his lips hard.

Naturally.

The young woman was robbed of her mother.

There was certainty, but the opportunity for them to reconcile, thinking of each other, will not come forever.

That's what she enjoys.

The others can't say anything.

That's how the sinking air flowed.

... I guess I've had enough.

"Mr. Nakatsuki. I'm sorry, but that's about it for today."

When I spoke, Mr. Nakatsuka nodded.

"Right. It looks better."

"It's about rendezvous, but let it go without it, after all"

"... that too, I'm sure we'll have to"

Mr Nakatsuki agreed with him with great regret.

It's not his fault.

I don't even want to hold the expedition accountable for what one of its constituents did, which is also on its own, separate from the actions of the group.

But I couldn't think of a rendezvous in this situation.

"Mr. Nakatsuki was in favor of my rendezvous, sorry"

"If that's your will, I respect it."

He didn't seem concerned, and Nakatsuka responded.

"I know you have a lot of opinions, but I'm on Mashima's side."

That means Nakatsuki doesn't intend to change her response, even with your handwashing accusations.

Even if I were you, I wouldn't be able to rendezvous with the expedition where Okazaki is. On the contrary, I didn't mean to make everyone in the expedition hostile for one of him.

"Tell me if you have any problems."

"Thank you"

Thus, his first contact with the expedition marked the end.
