When we reached the back of the cave, Father Alfred and Mother Julia were fighting the dragon.

Behind the cave is a little domed space, and it looks like we and our fathers each made it to this hall from a different entrance.

Out of a cave about three meters high into a hall that seemed likely to be six or seven meters high, there was a huge dragon of ice blue. The dragon, illuminated by her mother's created magic lights, flirts with her father/mother by exhaling in some sparkling breath or wielding a long tail, such as four meters tall.

"I'm fighting first."

Mother Julia tells me with a glimpse of us showing up in the hall.

... you can afford it.

"Careful, Ed! This guy, the ice frost doesn't work!

"Gatling Flame doesn't seem to be working very well either. No!

Correction. They were quite stuffed with cutting feathers.

My mother gets worse at the end of the story when she's relaxed and when the tension crosses the line.

"What, you dragon!

"Ask me! Edgar, check it out!

So is that.

I'll [appraise] and make sure.

[Appraisal] is synthesized with skills such as [Analysis] and has now evolved into a mythological skill with the former name [Demonic Eye of Truth].

If you look at the ice blue dragon in its [Devil's Eye of Truth],

It's stronger than a firefly dragon I've seen before by the crow, but it doesn't even feel like it's at your feet compared to a firefly dragon.

For now,

"It looks like the attack is hard to get through due to the ability to ice armor! And then the nails are poisonous, so be careful!

"Copy that! Then do you want Ed or Stef's firepower?!?"

To father Alfred's words, Steph leaves the sword in front of him.

but

"- Wait! That dragon isn't looking weird!?"

To Jeremiah's voice, Steph stops moving.

"That's right! That dragon, rather than trying to attack us..."

"It feels like you're trying to protect something."

Jeremiah took over Mother Julia's words.

Trying to protect something?

I look behind the Nivre Dragon.

There was a hole the same size as we came in and the cave seemed to follow further back.

"... something in the back of that?

"Probably!"

Mother Julia nodded at my words.

"Okay, then -"

I take the Hazy Demon Crystal Composite Wand (Composite Rod) out of dimensional storage and pour out the magic of [Phantom Magic] in a luxurious manner. And

- Gogaaaa!?

Nivrdragon screams and then retreats.

Now the Nibble Dragon should see the Fire Dragon Agnia I created with [phantom magic].

"In the meantime! Come on!"

Take my word for it, and dash together toward the hole in the back.

Jeremiah, Steph, Dad and Mother arrived in the hole in order. I arrived last with a composite scepter (composite rod).

There, [Phantom Magic] 's unraveled Nivrdragon looms.

but the hole in the back is only about two and a half meters high. The dragon, four meters tall, tries to push his body into the hole with reluctance, but a part of the wall just collapsed and he couldn't help it.

Nevertheless, this dragon is desperate. My neck is still sticking into the hole even if my body gets hurt.

What the hell is behind this...?

No, not if you're thinking about it now.

It's troublesome when the dragon calms down and throws up the freezing braces and stuff.

"Jeremiah, please!

When I spoke, Jeremiah came forward just saying she was waiting.

"- Spirit of darkness, give a man's heart the breath of night, and serve him."

Jeremiah uses [Spirit Magic] on the Nivrdragon. It is a technique that produces intense signs of "night" to make you feel strongly drowsy. It was advanced state abnormal magic that could not be used unless Jeremiah had a class of "Black Mage".

Few people can use state abnormal magic on a practical level. The reason is simple, MP is too inefficient. It usually takes more magic to inflict a state anomaly than the opponent also has magic. It would be more efficient to honestly use attack magic if you were to use that much MP.

Of course, there are exceptions like [hypnosis] that Melvi remembered, but on the contrary, it means that abnormal state magic cannot be used on a practical level without such special skills.

Not to mention the dragon this time. Digits of MP held are different from humans.

but Jeremiah has gained nearly 4000 MP by a maximum MP expansion twice a day. Mother Julia and Father Alfred say they feel shallow to sleep when they run out of MP and pass out, so MP dilation is suppressed by once a day. But Jeremiah with [fatigue metastases] had to sleep less even if not as much as I did, so I tried to run out of MP twice a day. So now Jeremiah is the second highest MP in the Curebel family after me.

As Jeremiah poured magic into the magic, the neck of the dragon crumbled as it initially moaned to resist, and the dragon sounded and fell to the ground.

"... no injuries?

After I make sure the dragon is safely asleep, I ask my father and mother.

Now I can use [healing magic], so if I get hurt a little, I can heal it in this place.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"I'm not hurt, either. Ed taught me there's a [cut out]."

That's what they all answered.

"Well, let's go to the back. I don't know when Mr. Dragon will wake up."

That's what my mother, the leader of the party, says.

"... should I stay and keep an eye on the dragon?

That's what Jeremiah proposes.

"Hmm. Jeremiah would let you sleep even if the dragon woke up.

But I was wondering if you should follow me. "

"I agree. I think it would be a shame to leave Jeremiah here with a lot more ability as a scout than I know what lies ahead."

That's why I go for the back of the cave at a party that has become five people: me, Alfred's father, Julia's mother, Jeremiah and Steph.

Even so, the cave itself lasted only a few hundred meters or so.

Behind the cave, not as large as the earlier hall where the dragon was, there was a space of a little size, in the middle of which strawy dead grass piled up like a mountain.

The mountain of dead grass is about two meters tall. It's big enough that people are going to be completely hidden.

... what?

"... that? There may be something..."

That's what Jeremiah says to stop us from coming together.

Jeremiah hands two daggers and approaches carefully to the mountain of dead grass.

I felt like I saw something black before Jeremiah pulled out the dead grass.

"This is..."

Jeremiah stiffened in the position with the straw still drawn.

I have also noticed that there is already something there because of the "Immortalist" 's ability to detect signs.

Jeremiah gave us a call with a bewildered face.

We approached Jeremiah and it was in the dead grass - no, I peeked at what was there (...).

"- Woman's, child?

There she was, a young girl.

Is he about five or six years old? Sleeping in a small circle of white bodies so that they can be buried in long black hair.

The girl was not wearing any clothes.

That, too, I suppose, should have been the most wonderful thing to do, but there was something more amazing in our sight.

"Is that a feather...?

Steph snaps.

As Steph said - the naked girl in front of me had a pair of little feathers.

A small feather of purple (Kashimurasaki), reminiscent of a bat, grows around the shoulder blade, slowly pulsing as the girl breathes.

"... demon... isn't it?

Julia's mother wrinkled and crushed her brow root.

I accidentally snap as I lean my neck too.

"Surely there are beasts in this world, but there shouldn't have been bird-shaped beasts, should there?

Since the Kingdom of Santa Mana is a human-centric country, we do not often see beastmen.

Even so, it does not mean that the kingdom is excluding the Beast Man, it is simply a question of demographic ratio. Nevertheless, the minority still seems to have a temperamental aspect, and the Beasts of the King's Capital often hide their characteristics as beasts, for example by wearing hoods. However, discrimination is forbidden by royal law, and the Cheerful King (Mary Monarch) Vistogard I is famous as a fraternist. The discrimination on that knee carries quite severe penalties.

No, I missed the point, but I don't think the existence of an animal man who could fly through the sky was confirmed. I've never even seen a story like that in a library labyrinth material.

"Donna might have been familiar with it..."

Jeremiah says.

Indeed, if Donna, a dog-shaped beast named Moon Dog Clan, might have known something.

but Donna and I broke up five years ago. Are you touring the world with Grandpa Ganash by now?... That's familiar.

"It's not surprising that some beasts had bird-shaped beasts because some rare species are not known to exist in the world.

… it looks like something has been done. "

In your father's words, Beast Man? gaze back at the girl.

"Ugh... Huh! No...... Huh! Don't flaunt it... it's annoying..."

The girl is warped of her young face and is done with a surprise sweat on her forehead.

A seemingly mother crouched in front of the girl, wiping her forehead with a handkerchief.

"I'm not scared, I'm not scared."

That's what I say and I give up the girl.

You can tell by the time you're asleep, the girl looks a little calmer.

And...

"... heh, heh...?

The girl opens her eyes softly.

"... are you okay?

The mother said worryingly, and the girl's eyes met.

Girls are so stiff.

"Gaaaaaaaaaa!"

The girl starts rambling up screaming like no other.

The girl's fingertips blurred her mother's cheeks at high speed.

Pip - and a red line runs on her mother's cheek.

"Julia!?"

"It's okay! You can't put your hands on it!

Unexpectedly stopping the speared father, while the mother pulls the girl's arm around behind her back and tries to hold the girl back so she can cling from behind.

My mother has raised her [martial arts] skill level to four for protection, and she also wears the Aikido moves that Melvi pulled from the bottom of my memory with [hypnosis]. I'm not comfortable using it in action, but it should have been too much to seize the little girl.

but

"Ahhhhhhh!

"Ahhh!

When I wonder if something like a scale has floated in the girl's arm, my mother is lifted from body to body and thrown down towards the ground like a back throw.

"Cushion!

I gave birth to a soft lump of water under my mother.

The water cushion absorbs the shock as the prospect suggests, and the mother buttocks safely on the ground while getting wet.

"- Jeremiah!"

And I scream, but Jeremiah is already moving without having to be told.

When Jeremiah quickly took the girl's back, she decided on her arm joint and sealed her movements.

However,

"Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

"Yikes...!?"

Along with the growl, a scale rises on the girl's arm and, furthermore, the arm itself thickens.

No, no, no.

"Dragon Man (Dragonoid)!?"

My father screams.

Yes, the girl's arm had turned into a dragon's. The scaly shape looks just like the Nivrdragon one I just saw.

At the same time, the girl's feathers become louder with a shimmering sound, and the colors stain darker and darker.

Black hair long enough to envelop the girl's body was also greatly spread by some force.

Her eyes shimmered red and she had a terrible grin on her lips.

Jeremiah, who holds the girl's arm, is slowly about to be ripped off.

"... Huh! Sorry!"

"Ahhh!?"

Jeremiah was taking the girl's shoulder joint off, along with words of apology. The dragonization had not yet reached his shoulders.

And

"- Spirit of darkness, give a man's heart the breath of night, and serve him."

Jeremiah uses sleep magic on a girl.

"Woo...... google......"

But Jeremiah's magic doesn't work very well.

It doesn't seem to be disabled by skills or abilities, but is it highly resistant to magic itself? I have heard that some races have strong resistance to magic, headed by demons.

Nevertheless, Jeremiah has a huge MP thanks to years of serious expansion of maximum MP. Jeremiah poured MP into magic as hot water.

"... a... tu"

The girl drowned her head.

It was chilling, but Jeremiah's sleep magic seemed to have managed to work.

"Phew... surprised..."

"Obnoxious, Jeremiah"

"I'm surprised. This kid had a bad magic street like a demon from the Necromancer system..."

As Jeremiah muddled the sweat on her forehead, she made a buzzing noise and black signs scattered from the girl's feathers.

All that remained after that was - bright white feathers.

Compared to the first bat feather or the giant feather just now, it looks like something else from the skeleton... what the hell is this?

The hair that was spreading across the universe also regained calm, and from inside his forehead, a tiny bit of white hair popped out of his forehead. Long, pinky, antenna-like hair. In previous life terms, what kind of asshole hair is that?

The arms that were like dragons are also back to their original human ones.

The expression also made me feel at ease, and when I tried this, it also looked like a young angel sleeping with her knees in her arms.

"Ko, is this...?

Mother says to her father, who sees the girl transform and crushes her.

"... you look a lot like a harpy feather. That, too, could be close to harpy queen feathers. Look, the thing about this wind cut feather, it's a little pink, right? This is the" Harpy Queen Wind Cut Feather "used to prove Queen's crusade."

"I looked like I was about to dragonize earlier..."

"That's not how a real dragon man (dragonoid) dragonizes, is it? It changes over time, and eventually it gets bigger. Otherwise, he said his temperature would drop sharply and he couldn't move."

"Have you seen it, Mother?

"Yeah. Just once. I once worked with a dragon man (dragonoid) adventurer when I was traveling to a hot continent in martial arts training."

When it comes to hot continents, we hear that humans just pop up and live on the coast because Lizardman makes many colonies on a scorching continent south of the Dragon Snake Tongue Continent (Midgaldstan), home to the Kingdom of Santa Mana.... Were you even there, Mother?

"So what the hell was that earlier?

"I don't know, but I don't think it's like dragoneering. Dragon-like scales floated and made me stronger, but I wasn't trying to be a dragon, was I? I don't know, partially dragonized...... like?

"Partially...?

"But dragon men (dragonoids) are not between dragons and people, they are dragons or people. I heard that the great dragons of the Mythological Age evolved themselves so that they could take the form of people because their bodies were too big and inconvenient. So, either a dragon or a person, you can't use the power of a dragon as a person. You said your body would fall apart if you tried to force it to transform. Well, he's stronger than a normal human being or sturdy."

Somehow I imagined you looking like half a dragon and a half Lizardman, but you're dressed in common sense unexpectedly.

"So when you say dragon man (dragonoid), you don't have wings or anything?

"Yeah. And as I said earlier, this feather isn't like a dragon feather, is it?

My mother pointed to the girl's white feathers and said.

"But when you were rampaging, you had bigger wings and floating scales. My arm was changing like a dragon, so I feel natural to think that that feather was about to become a dragon's too..."

When I said it with my neck twisted, Jeremiah said with her hands up small.

"But, Mr. Edgar. For dragon feathers, the pterygoid was thin, wasn't it? I've only seen the Fire Dragon and the Dragon just now, but the Dragon's pterygoid seemed thicker and more durable.

Rather, I feel that feather resembled that of a blood-sucking bat system demon. There were quite a few bat demons in the Coma Forest, I'm sure.

But even so, it's strange that the scales were also floating on the feathers... There's no scale in a blood-sucking bat. "

Jeremiah said it herself and completed it on her own.

"Hmmm... is every theory a long one short"

Would you have figured something out if Melvi was here?

No, wait, you haven't used the [Devil's Eye of Truth] yet.

[Appraisal] Whether it's [Demon Eye of Truth], it's a drawback that it's hard to use as much as it really is in times of danger because it creates a flash gap to concentrate. That's when I want more information about them.

What I was preparing for when the girl was rumbling was a different defensive magic than the Electromagnetic Barrier, which should protect everyone no matter what. Exactly, I couldn't even use the [Demon Eye of Truth] while preparing for advanced magic.

I turned [The Devil's Eye of Truth] towards the girl...

"- Huh!?"

"Duh, what's wrong, Edgar!?"

"Mr. Edgar!?"

Julia, Mother and Jeremiah run up to me and ask.

"Meh, my eyes tickle..."

[Demon Eye of Truth] itself was activated and the girl returned status information, but that information does not appear as status as usual.

"Hey, what's this..."

I narrow my eyes and squeeze [The Devil's Eye of Truth] and stare carefully at the girl again.

My eyes still tickle, but if I observe again, that seems to be because the information shifts visibly. The correction of vision by the class "Immortalist" worked, and sometimes the numbers and skill names caught my sight, but the contents were bullshit.

As he stared, the information gradually collated and emerged as a familiar status screen.

But the contents...

Ashla (Embrio Vaccinator (Type C)/"Pandemonium")

<! Incorrect information! > Age

<! It's an undefined race!

Status:?? nb??? ·????????????????? o

Level <! Incorrect information!

HP <! Incorrect information!

MP <! Incorrect information!

<! Category is invalid!

<! Referring to skills that do not exist!

What the hell!?

So you're saying your status is bugging you?

"How was it, Edgar?

Julia, my mother asks.

"Wow, I don't know. Something's wrong with your status."

[Demon Eye of Truth] is still shallow in the sun after mastery. It's not strange if something goes wrong...... I'll have to ask next time I can talk to the goddess in [prayer].

"Oh, it's going to happen, isn't it?

To Steph's words, put your gaze back on the girl.

The girl blinks wonderfully with her pussy and compares each of our faces. You look calmer than you just did, but you can't just de-alert me yet.

If Melvi were here, I'd almost get him to forgive me with [fairy song], but unfortunately, Melvi is a fairy town now.

"... I'm not sure, but let me try?

You found out what I was thinking, that's what Jeremiah said and took the whistle out of the porch.

In addition to "Assassin" and "Black Mage", Jeremiah has mastered a class specializing in playing music called "Instrumentalist". I can put magic on the performance, but so far it's not as effective as Melvi's [fairy song].

... should be, but listening to Jeremiah play, the girl was looking different.

My eyes are suddenly tingling and my face is dyed red. There seemed to be a loss of power from all over his body, and he put his whitened feathers on the ground and went into the spot.

And

"~ Ku, Kiki, Lulu, Pipipipi......"

The girl sang it out as Jeremiah played.

It's a strange singing voice where little birds chirp and girly voices interact seamlessly.

It just didn't feel like demonic singing, it felt like a little kid song that I just had fun singing.

"I need to talk to you about Harpy not having eyes for music..."

Mother seems to think this kid has something to do with Harpy.

There were a lot of harpies out there, so it's a reasonable reasoning.

"Some dragons love music, right?

Dad seems suspicious of his relationship with the dragon.

In addition to the fact that the Nivrdragon was protecting the girl, it was just "dragonized".

I think my father's suspicions are best.

And Jeremiah, who is now playing the whistle, was just talking about the Necromancer theory and the blood-sucking bat theory.

The rationale was that magic was difficult to get through and the shape of the girl's feathers?

That makes sense, too.

Me? I just thought you were a feathered girl, from what I saw. Is it even more surprising now that we have lived in a world with elves, dwarves and beasts?

However, I was quite concerned about the results of the [Devil's Eye of Truth] earlier.

Of course there's something wrong with my status, but I'm also concerned about the two names column that was the only decent one. Two meaningful names. It also bothers me in and of itself, but having two names means that they were called by quite a few people by those two names.

And the girl's name. Ashra-Ashra?

Of course, it's not necessarily that this world doesn't have such a name. Some of the people who live on islands called the Oriental Regions, which exist in eastern waters of the Dragon Snake Tongue Continent (Midgalztan), seem to have names that resemble those of the Japanese of previous life. Even if it wasn't, it's only three sounding names. Not surprisingly, even if it's a coincidence... it was still a catch name for me being a reincarnator.

While the girl was sober, I took my clothes out of the dimensional storage and handed them to Steph for a look.

"Huh. Please be patient for a moment ~"

My inspired steph speaks up and dresses the girl handily.

The girl has big feathers on her back so her jacket doesn't go in as it is. Stef said no to me, then cut the back collar of his jacket through his back with a knife, put the feathers through there, and then fastened the back collars cut into two pieces, tied together on the top side of the feathers.

Except for the feather issue, it's my clothes that look eight or nine, so it's a little big for a girl who looks five or six to wear.

The girl said in a whispering voice, pulling her bumpy sleeve strangely.

"Ah... even"

"Sla...?

Mother asks back as she tilts her neck.

The girl shook her head as she stared back at her mother with deep blue eyes like night.

"Yeah, tomorrow, la..."

"Asura, I wonder?

The girl repeats tonguelessly that the influence of the music has not yet fallen out, but it did not make sense to her mother.

I almost opened my mouth to tell you the name I saw in [The Devil's Eye of Truth], and the girl says dissatisfied.

"Ugh... that's fine"

"That's okay, that means no, right? Don't hesitate in the weird part. Isn't it called 'Ashra'?

When I heard that, the girl nodded.

"Meow, et al. But I don't like it."

"Feeling nasty?

"That's what they say, Hara. That's right. That's right. That's right."

The voice of a girl so twinkly was so dark that she didn't think of herself as a girl these days.

I mean, is this what this is all about?

This child's name is "Ashra" is correct, but this child hates the person who called this child "Ashra". That's not a half-breed dislike either, you can tell by the look on this kid's face.

"So, how did Asla end up in this place?

…………

"... you don't want to tell me?

When Mother heard, Asura snorted.

"Was that the kid the dragon was trying to protect earlier?

That's what my father said to no one.

The girl - Asura - reacted frighteningly to her father's words.

"About Van...? What! Van... what's wrong with Van!?"

Jeremiah tells Asla to change her complexion and scream.

"It's okay, I put him to sleep."

"... really... Van, I'm here"

Close your eyes and Asura crushes with a look that explores something.

"You know what I mean?

My father asked the girl with his eyes round.

"Van is another me"

…… An earlier dragon is the other you...?

On behalf of my father, I'll ask him now.

"Hey, Twin Ice Dragons...?

The Nivrdragon, which Asura calls Van, had two such names.

For example, does that mean that Asura and Van are twins and Asura is inherently an ice dragon?

But Asura shook her head small at me for mouthing her thoughts.

"I'm not a lid anymore... But come with me."

Not twins, but together?

While I'm thinking about it, my mother tells Asla.

"I know that Mr. Dragon is important to Asura. But it's hard to leave her alone like this, huh? Because the demon is raging on the surface, I think it's the cause, and the knights and adventurers will come..."

"... then, I will"

"Shit?"

Asura nodded in a dull manner, crossing the room barefoot and peppered to the dragon.

- Stand back, Van.

When Asura crushed her palm against the dragon - Van's head - Van was sucked from her head into Asura's palm by turning it into a particle of blue and white light.

"... now, okay?

We didn't have a word to give back.
