Reincarnated as a Dragon’s Egg ～Lets Aim to Be the Strongest～

I was walking alone in the woods.

There are demons in the woods near the village.

I often go to pick mushrooms and medicinal herbs if they are shallow, but I've never been this deep alone.

You'd be mad if Mr. Mariel found out, I suppose.

Still, I had to go to the woods.

I really think we should at least have someone escort us, but Mr. Dawes is missing and Mr. Grants has just been killed.

There was also talk of seeing a large dragon flying towards the woods that was wounded a while back, and no one wanted to go to the woods.

I know it's dangerous, too, and I can't insist.

Besides, it could have gotten into Mr. Mariel's ear if he was asking too much of the whole village to go around.

So in the end, I decided to go all the way to the back of the woods by myself.

Originally, you said you were going to piss off the goddess of guardianship, so it's forbidden to go deep in the woods.

Although some verses have been morphed lately, they tend to look at the matter as heavily as the elderly.

He doesn't seem to think much about adventurers trying to get into the woods, and Mr. Mariel is one of them.

Seeing the heavy side of Mr. Mariel's oh so village customs, I think he's still alive for a long time.

You're so tiny and cute.

Clear your ears and be vigilant around you, proceed carefully to the back with caution in your footsteps.

It's all right.

Even I can use magic.

A little demon can get rid of it.

As he walked threateningly, he cringed and the grass behind him shook.

I look back in a hurry.

It was a giant potato worm, about the same size as me, a dark worm.

He approached me, nodding his black body.

Surprised, but relieved at the same time.

If it's about a dark worm, I can handle it.

"Fire magic, [fireball]!"

A flame from the tip of the wand falls to Darkworm's present.

Darkworm retreated and ran away as he did.

"Phew..."

After I lost sight of Darkworm, I exhale in relief.

According to Mariel, Darkworm seems to be an F-rank demon.

Apparently the F-rank is used to indicate demons that are less dangerous than even the average person can handle.

With all this demon, I can handle it.

The E rank is about as big as a fierce dog.

I have no choice but to escape, but Mr. Dawes would be able to deal with it alone.

Just because it's a D-rank, the danger jumps all at once.

It is said to have the same power as one average adventurer in a demon at the bottom of the D-rank.

If you become the top D-ranked demon, is that the level at which the average adventurer can finally be tailored for three?

If it is also a C-rank, four skilled adventurers need to work out measures beforehand before they can challenge it.

In some cases, you may even go to the big city against a single demon and make a crusade request.

Only if I can handle it alone is the F-rank.

If you encounter a D-rank demon, you run away not to irritate it, or if you want to chase me, you just have to set fire to it and stop it.

The moment we meet, our lives are in danger.

And in this forest, that opportunity is few.

Still, I really needed to go to the woods.

Mr. Beltz, who was fishing in the woods, said he saw Mr. Dawes missing.

According to Mr. Beltz, while fishing in a pond halfway between the village and the forest, he felt a gaze from the forest.

So I looked up, and you said there was Mr. Dawes watching this one from between the trees.

Mr. Dawes was obviously in a strange state and apparently he was talking to himself about something with a bump.

When I hung up, I laughed nitrously, and now he said he ran to the back of the woods with one leg pulled together so that he could threaten something.

Clothes were worn out, cheeks were lean, and unhealthily blue-white to the tip of her lips......

Under that circumstance, I can't believe Mr. Dawes left in the woods was safe.

Besides, it's unnatural that he even came near the village and turned back...

In the end, in the village, Mr. Beltz's story calmed him down by the fact that Mr. Beltz had misseen him fishing while sipping alcohol. Mr. Beltz was originally a liquor lover.

The superstition that there would be spirits in the forest also helped to increase that image.

He's swallowing alcohol while threatening the spirits, so he wants to see hallucinations like that.

'I didn't swallow any booze that day,' Mr Belz said, but nobody made it hard to believe.

People also began to show up saying that they saw Mr. Beltz on his way to the pond with alcohol.

'I guess I'm ashamed to admit it's all that noise and a liquor mistake,' one said.

In short, it would have been more convenient not to admit it.

If you're still alive and wandering through the woods, it's because you should be a young man's man and team up as soon as you're supposed to, and hit the search.

There is also a risk that those chosen for the search party will lose their lives, but help is motto in this village.

Essentially, abandoning just in these circumstances is a rare occurrence.

In fact, when there used to be a missing person case, they did a search, and I've heard you talk about that time like a martial arts tradition many times.

But now, more than ever, everyone was afraid of the back of the woods.

Many people don't think they care about Mr. Dawes' usual words and actions.

For those reasons, I don't want a search party.

After acknowledging the sightings, you could also put out Mr. Dawes's unusual appearance and rumors of a large dragon and make it clear that the search party will not be formed because it is too risky because you don't know what is happening in the woods now.

But more than that, Mr. Dawes was so dead that it was cowardly drunken bullshit that he saw it, it had a better aftertaste when he cleaned it up.

So, I'm sure that's what this is about.

It is also quite suspicious, clearly, whether the story is true that Mr. Beltz saw him take the liquor.

I don't know what happened to Mr. Dawes, but I'm sure what Mr. Beltz was saying is correct.

I decided to go deep in the woods to find Mr. Dawes.

If I had been stopped Mr. Dawes that day, this would not have happened.

The Rock Dragon Crusade could have been stopped if I had talked to Mariel and persuaded Mr. Grants.

I was the only one who could do that.

I'm the one responsible for finding Mr. Dawes.

Mr. Dawes isn't that far back...... and I'd like to think.

At one point, it was close to the village.

So, only around the village...... a little from there, around stepping in.

Around here... there aren't any dangerous demons out there yet... should be.
