Ryuugoroshi no Sugosuhibi

1 - Snake Feet 2 Meet White Dragon

Only a little time had passed since the Golden Dragon's request, and Yusuke had adjusted his schedule as he proceeded to build his village. And created two totally free days. On that holiday morning, Kosuke was double-checking his travel luggage. I don't have much luggage because it's not a long-term one, it's a combination of two holidays.

Place the bagged shoulder bag on your shoulder and move to the living room. Ellis, who was washing dishes, looks back.

"Are we leaving now?

"Yeah. I'm sorry I couldn't."

Ellis and I made it a little impossible to create a two-day holiday.

"No, I don't mind. I didn't suddenly say it yesterday, so it's not that much of a burden."

"Root vegetables seem to be a specialty, and I'll buy them for a souvenir."

"That's good. So if you take it to the other guys, they'll be happy."

"Shall I? Then I'm coming."

"Oh, be careful."

"Yeah, well, I don't think there's an incident."

Laugh and Kosuke goes out to the garden through the back door. There's a wiale there who wants laundry.

"Wiale, I'm coming"

"Come on in. Be careful."

"It's only two days, and I don't think you should be so careful."

"You're going to rest your body, so is it weird to be too alert? It was about tomorrow evening to come home, wasn't it?

"Yeah, I'll get you a souvenir."

I'm looking forward to it.

Dropped off by Wiale, Kosuke moves outside Rickart. Walk through the gates, with those who are heading to work, to their own shops.

There are signs of multiple people in the store, not just Merrill or Serena already.

"Morning."

Good morning, owner.

Greetings are returned with an unanimous voice. They all hold travel bags in private clothes and gather on the floor with expressions of pleasure. It's not just the floor staff, there's security and the total number is twenty-two.

We decided on a trip we had previously proposed, and we're going tomorrow. The destinations were voted by majority and became hot springs in order to take daily fatigue over tourism.

I'll make sure it's final. Just give me a few more minutes.

When Yusuke says so, he calls Melière and Serena.

"Are they all gathered?

"Yes, I checked twice to make sure they were all there"

Merrill nodded.

"What about the door tightness?

"I've been closing it tight. After that, close the entrance and you're done. Security is fine while I'm away. I said hello to the arranged guards, and they've already begun."

Now Serena answered. At the same time Merrill went to close the front door. Finally, I will be temporarily closed and sticking paper tomorrow. This news itself has been going on for more than fifteen days, so there should be few visitors who don't know.

There is more security. Galeon's feeding on this place, trying to catch thieves and all that. This store, with its slightly expensive items, is an easy target for thieves. As a result, information had been circulated so that many people would know that there would be no one in the store.

Kosuke and the others have been able to talk about this, and the cost of security is holding a guild.

"What more do you want to confirm... don't forget something? If I forget my money, I can't get a massage or anything."

"I guess it's okay. For once, I'll take the store's money to spare. So yes."

I'm going to give Kosuke the money I put out of the safe. I'll take that and bag it.

"Well, let's just say we start getting ready to go."

"I've never had a metastasis or anything, I'm a little nervous."

"I think this is the first time anyone's been here."

Melière, who is approaching, also shows a slight nervousness.

"It's not even that scary. Ready to move."

Get everyone's attention by tapping on bread and hands. I realized that and became quiet.

I'm going to start the transition, so I told her not to be surprised if the scenery suddenly changed, and Kosuke asked Mitaram to move.

Shortly afterwards, Yusuke and the others moved right next to the town of Mubilt, in the southern part of the continent, where they were traveling.

"Transfer complete"

I thank Mithalam and speak to everyone to enter the town.

Take those who make noise about their first transfer into town. The unique smell of the hot springs had been felt before entering the town.

The guard standing at the entrance was surprised to see a lightly dressed group guest who was not in the carriage, but explained that he had come using a transfer magic, which allowed him to enter the town without any problems.

The town was busy. Close to the noisy atmosphere, not the liveliness of the festival. When he came a month ago, there was no such atmosphere, and Kosuke tilted his neck. The Merrills are also somewhat aware of the strangeness of the atmosphere, tilting their necks. The guards clearly felt the atmosphere of havoc. Be careful and engrave on your mind if you make too much noise.

"I see it. That's the place to stay."

There is a medium-sized inn in the direction that Kosuke points to. There was a private and sign at the store today and tomorrow.

Yusuke was looking for a place to book about a month ago. I walked through town, gathered information on a reputable inn, went out to some of the up candidates to see if it was an inn for everyone to stay in and negotiated if I could book.

"Over there."

"I chose a reputable accommodation, so you can count on it."

Forget about the strange atmosphere when it comes to fun, everyone feels better.

"Hello - I was booking a watase"

"Welcome"

Speak to the receptionist and pay for the rest of the accommodation other than what you were giving to the advance.

"This is the key to the room. And here's the information about the massage parlor that was requested."

"Thanks, I'll take care of you today and tomorrow"

"Yes, let me try not to get anywhere."

The receptionist also politely thanked Kosuke, who bowed his head.

Take the keys you received and go to Meryl and the others.

"I have the keys to the two- and three-person rooms, so come and pick them up as I had decided beforehand"

Reply and receive the key from Kosuke. There are two men in the room and three women in the room. Yusuke is in a single room, while Merriyle and Serena are in a double room.

"When I checked the hot springs and massage parlors on this paper, I left my stuff in my room and moved freely. Lunch is at your disposal. Dinner's supposed to be in the big room at 7: 00 p.m."

That's what I say. I give you three sheets of paper.

He gathers on the paper he receives and talks with pleasure about where he is going with his cuteness. Hearing that, Kosuke approaches the reception again.

"Can I help you?

"The atmosphere in town was a little strange, so I wanted to ask you that. I was calm a month ago."

"It was about fifteen days ago. White Dragon went from here for an hour, descended into the mountains."

"There's a white dragon... is there anything there? Have you ever done the same before?

"Especially not mountains like this. I've never heard of strong demons or ruins. This is also the first time that the white dragon has stepped down. I hear the mayor spoke to the longest-living old man, but as far as I can remember, it meant that the white dragon never stopped by."

White dragons are not wary dragons like black dragons. Other wary dragons are thunderdragons that travel through the soil and accompany earthdragons and storms that cause ground subsidence. Unlike such rampant dragons and dragons whose mere existence brings disaster, White Dragons do not cause anything to happen. It's just a dragon flying around the sky.

So the inhabitants of Mubilt are not worried that the town will perish. There are other things to worry about. That was the gathering of adventurers gathered to see the dragon at first sight when they heard rumors.

The rough ones got together and felt anxious that the atmosphere had become noisy, and were worried about two things: whether those adventurers would not inspire the white dragon.

Though a dragon that has never been ravaged, it doesn't necessarily make you a big deal if you can tease him. The residents didn't think they'd do anything extra, and the freakiness of the town's atmosphere was coming from there.

Many of the adventurers are not stupid, so they don't even just look. But some idiots were stopping me when I said I should try to get closer.

"You just got people together on rarity, and you're not talking about fighting coming up or anything like that, are you?

"Yeah. I'm glad people get together as well as we are, but you think it's a bit of a fuss. The adventurers are weighing themselves down, so I was wondering if it would be a fuss."

Thank you for the information and Merriyle and Serena approach Kosuke, away from the reception. I guess Elgin dropped his shoulder and walked away from the two of them, so he asked me to go outside with him and said no. She wasn't that depressed because she immediately started calling other female clerks to get her mind back on it.

It's been quite a while since Elgin started working, but there's no sign of quitting. They couldn't get away from this job, which was stable and income-generating. Other guards often advised me to look for company and be more aggressive in other jobs.

"What were you talking about?

"Kind of. Did you realize there's something wrong with the atmosphere in town?

The two snort.

"I was asking about it. There was a white dragon in the nearby mountains, and people were gathering to see it."

The look on their faces clouds when they hear of dragons. Their country has been tormented by black dragons for years and they have no good impression of dragons.

"It's okay because it's not a dragon that can get violent. We both don't care about dragons, even if they come into the hot springs."

"Right."

"I will. I've come this far, and I need to have fun."

The two head to the given room to put their luggage away. Yusuke left the inn, leaving her luggage the same way.

Once again, when you look at the people who go to town, there are many who have worked out and tightened flesh. Mixed with such people, he walks down the road, and Yusuke searches for something sweet for a souvenir.

There are no crafts like this, and other villages and towns are lined with textiles and baked goods that are likely to be bought. Did other customers find that out? It doesn't look like it would sell well.

Keisuke decided to get away from it and see a root vegetable called a specialty. The city is open at the edge of the town and there is still a line of vegetables brought from the villages around the town. The cocks and housewives at the restaurant are looking for something nice and it's a vibrant sight.

Root vegetables are a specialty, and there are many vegetables in line. Brightly colored carrots, corny potatoes, bright white radishes and rashes like snow.

There are also stalls out there that use vegetables that come in, and they sell things like onions, corn and beef barbecues, steamed potatoes and sweet potatoes, and sweet potatoes with charcoal on every skin with sauce to make it smell fragrant, and they sell well in the economy.

Yusuke also bought a char-grilled barbecue and satoimo under the smell. Eat them and nod as impressed.

"Just to say it's a specialty, I like onions and satoimo"

I actually confirmed the flavor and decided on a souvenir for the village and acquaintance as a vegetable.

"I mean, the plug is made with vegetables that are here... but I think I'll make it in Potov"

I decided to look at the vegetables lining up and make potovs because I needed to make more at once.

Walk around the city looking for something good. I look at it with my own eyes and decide what to buy. I negotiated, paid for it, took what I needed and had it set aside. It was a little intrusive to carry around.

At the end of the day, find the sweet potatoes and approach them.

"Hello. I'd like some potatoes."

"I'd like to say I'm sorry. It's already sold out."

I still have more than half of it in my cage. Kosuke points and listens to it.

"Is that for an appointment there?

"Oh, it's for wholesale to a store I know."

"That's too bad. By the way, will you be wearing it to the city tomorrow?

"No, you're not coming tomorrow."

"Really?"

"If you could come to the village, I'd still have it."

"Where is the village?

"It's almost a three-hour walk south of here. Gian is a small village by the river."

If you fly magically in three hours, you're right there. I have free time tomorrow, so I decided to go buy it. Even though the store owner said he liked it when I told him that, he gave me his name. There is a smile on my face. I'm glad you went so far and asked for your own vegetables.

Yusuke thanked him and headed to collect the vegetables. I bought a bigger cage so I put it in and went back to the inn.

Along the way I passed in front of what seemed to be the best inn in this town and felt something caught by the adventurers who came out of it.

"Like I saw it somewhere?

After a little thought, I could recall that I was an adventurer I went with when I had previously escorted for a site survey at the request of Wiale.

You stopped and noticed you were watching, and you see Kosuke there too. Kosuke bowed his head because his gaze matched.

Just like Yusuke, he thinks a little over there, and comes closer to the look he could remember. I guess it was because they were so strongly remembered right away.

"It's been a while. You're just glad it was Mr. Watase, aren't you?

"Thank you for your help with that verse"

"Long time no see. Mr. Elias and Mr. Holton"

Lower the cage, and Kosuke returns his greetings as well.

It will be the first reunion in about three years. Elias is getting more beautiful like Tony said, and Holton is a little over Yusuke's height if he's in his growing season. From the way we both stood and behaved, we found ourselves raising our arms more than before.

Tony invited Holton to their party, and Holton nodded to it, saying that it would be hard for Holton to be alone after that request.

"Isn't Mr. Tony and Lyle with you?

"Mr. Tony hasn't come here for another job. Lyle is out of town."

"Mr. Watase is here with a white dragon sight, too?

"I happen to have this kind of noise about where I was traveling. I didn't know there was a white dragon. Holton, are you guys seeing anything?

Besides, they shake their heads sideways when they're slightly different.

"We came here with a rich escort who said we wanted to see the white dragon. Then we're going to see it, too. Mr. Lyle checks the route ahead of time."

I can hear you calling them both.

Holt, I hear you're leaving.

"Oh, really. Then excuse me. Let's go, Mr. Ias."

The two bow their heads to Yusuke and run towards the group that came out of the inn. The distance between the two seemed close and friendly.

"I called you by your nickname, and that kind of relationship?

It was an imaginary relationship. Holton went into the party and stuck around as he cared a lot about the facial acquaintance. It feels like my sister's wife, and Elias is pulling.

Priority has been given to stronger Lyle inspired by Kosuke, less to combine with Elias, and thus to this day in a stream such as Elias taking care of Holton with more free time.

"Lyle and I were friends."

He returns to the inn, saying he was surprised not to know it was his own cause. Keisuke, who placed a cage in his room, heads to the bathroom to see if he can take a dip. Exchange words with those who were already in and cool, and soak them in the hot tub.

"Hot Springs is about the first time I've been in Calhoud"

Enjoy the hot springs of a long time. The bath in the house also stretches out my legs to relax enough, but somehow I have the thought that the hot spring is a good thing, and I feel good even if I don't know how it works.

Thirty minutes and a little long water. Toads who were relaxing and drinking. Mixed with a guard group and staying neat.

"No, thank you for making me even think like this while I'm getting a satisfactory salary"

"I've never been in a hot spring before, but it's a good one."

"You get tired. As much as I want my family to come in."

Toads, who blushed with alcohol, thank each other one after the other.

"I'd like you to work in a temper in the future. Think of it like that advance."

"Ha ha. I've got you this far, I'll work with you."

"Yeah, yeah."

"In another year or so, shall we go here or elsewhere?"

Toads cheer happily on Kosuke's suggestion.

"Can you come back, I'm even more in the mood"

"I didn't expect to have more fun this year"

Fun makes me laugh, booze progresses.

When the liquor platter lasted for about an hour, I heard a bark from afar. Toads on the verge of drunkenness did not notice, but Yusuke the bare face could notice, and went outside the inn with a no.

Those who walk outside are also able to notice their voices, telling them what's going on with those who are nearby. Some said the adventurer had done something.

The direction I heard it was east of where the white dragon was from people's voices.

I thought I'd go check it out.

Meryl and Serena, who returned with a massage, approached Yusuke, who floated a little using flying magic.

"Owner, where are you going? No way to White Dragon!?

"It's dangerous!?

"I'm going to try, but just checking from a distance. There's metastatic magic, and you'll be back soon."

"But"

I make them smile to reassure me, but that didn't clear up the anxiety between the two of them.

"In some situations over there, we have to think about interrupting our appointments and going back to Rickart, and we need some information."

"... don't be impotent. It's very important to the store."

"You don't want to take the store as an inheritance, do you?

"I know. Well, I'll be there."

Dropped off not only by the Merrills, but also by the city's inhabitants, Kosuke flies east.

In about fifteen minutes he arrived near the mountain and found a white dragon smaller than a golden dragon on the summit. Unlike the golden dragon, it was a western European type of dragon and was idle. He seems to be fighting something, throwing up a white brace.

Moving his gaze around the mountain, he found a group moving to town. There are men in his hall who are fighting demons.

"Can I talk to you about something?

As I lowered altitude, I found out that it was the Lyles who were fighting in His Highness.

Cancel the flying magic at some height, prepare the lightning magic while falling and use it at the same time as landing.

Many thunderstorms out of Yusuke's palm arced, hitting demons away from those who were fighting.

The adventurers, who are now able to concentrate with the demons in front of them, fight and defeat them sparingly.

The demons are kicked and the adventurers exhale in relief.

"I don't know who... watase?

Trying to say he was helpful, Lyle remembered Yusuke.

You've been unscrupulous to be strong, I see some scratches on your arms and face.

"Long time no see. I heard from Mr. Elias and Mr. Holton, but I didn't expect to see you here."

"Me too. Well, thanks anyway."

I lost my sense of business like before and bowed my head with calm.

"You've changed."

"I think I need a heart that won't move on anything to be strong. I don't think I can be strong with words and deeds like I used to, and I try to be calm."

"It is."

The only constant attempt to remain calm is during a battle at work, a little softer in everyday life. Still, it is different from before.

No one treats this Lyle as immature and is being seen as a pillar supporting the next generation of parties.

"Is it still about the white dragon that Watase came here?

"That's right. What happened? Did the adventurer flirt with you?

If not, I shake my head to the side.

"A strong demon who led the group challenged the White Dragon. Maybe it's the demon that made this one a territory. We gather our strength thinking we've been vandalized, and we see that we've tried."

"Was it around that demon that was chasing the Lyles?

"Yes."

"Do you think the White Dragon will grow up if the demon leader is defeated?

"Probably. Never cared a bit about us for what I saw in the distance before. When this raid is over, we're gonna grow up again."

"I hope so."

Lyle left, saying he couldn't talk any more to catch up with the group going ahead.

Turning down the invitation to go with him, Kosuke stays on the spot and looks up at the top of the mountain. From there, no sign of battle had been felt. The big sign of the white dragon is there, so I guess it didn't shift the battlefield.

"I wonder if it's over"

Go up into the air again and see what the white dragon looks like from there. White Dragon also perceived the power of Yusuke, or raised his face and turned blue eyes like a sapphire to Yusuke. And flick the wings and fly.

"I'm coming this way, but I can't feel any war or hostility."

I wonder if you have something to do, and stop at the spot. Soon the white dragon arrived in front of me, no one saw where Kosuke was facing the white dragon because all the humans had returned to town in the battle ahead.

"Must it be a dragon kill?

A young, tannic voice emanated from the mouth of the white dragon. I can take it as a man, and I can take it as a woman.

"It's a dragon kill, indeed, but how could you do that?

"I heard it from my dream god, Sister Arthuran."

"I know God. Or sister?

I wondered if Arcelan was originally a dragon, but I remembered hearing from Mithalam that he was a sheep. Then why do I tilt my neck?

"I've been in contact from the other side a long time ago about what I liked. She told me to call you that because I'm older."

"Isn't it possible that you speak up to those you like? Sister, go up. I don't know the part. You liked it that much by now?

White Dragon invites Yusuke to the ground to show that he is satisfied with the part he knows. Talking while flying was inconvenient inside.

The place down is a rough mountaintop in battle. The demon's body is rolling, but we won't get in the way here.

As soon as we went down, the figure of the white dragon broke down like a mist, and when we gathered small, we imitated the figure of a person. When I was a teenager, was my back the same as Kosuke? The face is made of soft parts and looks like both a man and a woman. Her hair and skin to her back are white, and the robe she is wearing is white. Only eyes are blue. He looks luxurious and doesn't look like he can fight very well.

White dragons fall into the younger category as dragons, so this figure is often not a mistake. Even so, it has been nearly fifty years since I was born.

"Can a dragon change into a person?"

Says Yusuke as surprised. White Dragon denies that. Unhabitual hair wobbled in motion.

"If we master and use people's magic, we can change into people too, but this is not magic, it's the effect of titles"

"Dragons can also be titled. What title?"

"He who is nothing. Thanks to this title, it can be transformed not only into a person but also into a beast and demon"

Nothing can also be interpreted as being anything ahead of us, from which the effects of change have followed.

You can be either a man or a woman, and what you look like now is in a state that doesn't make that distinction.

"Is it convenient"

"It may be convenient, but I want to throw this title away. I wanted to talk to you about it, and I was waiting to kill the dragon."

"What you've been waiting for, you know I'm coming here, so you got off to the top of the mountain?

White dragons snort.

"I heard from sister Arcelan that she was coming to town here, and I decided to wait"

"Didn't you think to go directly to the house in the Pyreal Kingdom?

I don't think that would have made the Mubilt people feel uneasy.

"I heard the dragon killer avoids being noticeable. So I stopped going directly to the house. I thought something unpredictable might happen even if it wasn't the dragon."

"You've thought about this situation, like you're too cautious to be grateful"

Guess White Dragon may be a serious personality.

"I'll thank you for that. So what do you want me to talk to you about?

"I'm nothing, as the title suggests. I am anxious about that. I want to be something. I want you to tell me how I can be something."

"Nothing. I think a dragon is enough."

It would be a good enough advantage for characterization. A dragon with only nine bodies in the authentic world, not a subdragon. This is not the case with any more features.

Seeing that what Yusuke wanted to say was not conveyed in her answer, White Dragon decided to give an example.

"The Golden Dragon has as its role the tomb guard and the birth of the dragon. The Double Sea Dragon manages the flow of the sea. The Divine Dragon and the Patriotic Dragon protect their respective places. I don't have that role. Just flying through the sky, doing nothing"

I could also understand what I wanted to tell you in that explanation. At the same time, he is weakened by white dragons with similar thoughts to students struggling with employment and advancement. As a dragon, I was also surprised to see if that was okay.

"Don't you just do whatever it takes to be a black dragon in the shape I knocked you out?

"That was a role as a villain"

"... is that what's going to happen?

I shouldn't have done it consciously. So the question arose as to whether it could be considered a role.

"Is that what you have to do? I wish I was flying freely."

"Then I'm talking to you because I don't think you can."

If I hadn't questioned it, I would still be flying in the sky.

"Have you asked the other dragons? It's the same dragon. It might help."

"I heard. The answer came back saying I don't know why I bother with those things."

I guess, and Yusuke nods in his heart too.

The Golden Dragon has been set to guard his grave since birth, but no other dragon has decided what to do. Some of the dragons that have ever been born spend most of their lives sleeping and doing nothing really.

So it's not like it bothers me. However, Shiraku conceived it because it was as serious as Yusuke thought, and was over-conscious that he had done nothing to give it away, so he was also given the title.

"Hmm... why are you asking me in the first place?

"I heard you were a displaced person. Sister Arcelane said there was a difference in thinking and that she had some good ideas."

"You've been thrown round... what about doing what you want, not the idea that you have to do it? If there's anything you're interested in, I guess you should do that. To give you an example, the Black Dragon was raped because he wanted to be raped, and became a villain."

I gave him an example, but I didn't know what the black dragon had in mind or anything, and I realized that you said something nasty after you put it in my mouth.

With such words of Yusuke, White Dragon contemplates. Arcelan liked the honesty of taking all these things seriously.

Although Kosuke also likes it, he is late for dinner when he is conceived here all the time, so he begins to think without leaving it to the White Dragon.

"... why are you flying in the sky? If you think about what you want to do, you're more comfortable sitting in the nest."

"Because flying in the sky calms you down. When it boils down to thought, it's distracting to see the view under your eyes"

"Do you like flying?

Send advice to the contemplating white dragon as I didn't think hard.

"I don't hate it. It's refreshing to fly in a well sunny sky, and that's fine with being hit by rain. I think the thunder glow is beautiful. somewhere delightful to see the snow-dyed earth from above"

"I think you can say you like it, it is. Why don't you keep flying? So where did you see what kind of landscape, do you want to leave it in the letters? I've been reading it."

I showed it to Enesia and she seemed happy. I had heard that you wanted to travel, not because you could get the dragon a twat. You should enjoy reading purely.

"Can you say that's doing something? I feel the same as before."

"I guess as long as you're writing a chronicle, you're a reporter. Why don't you do those things and look for something else you want to do? That's all I can give you for now."

I thought I could do it, but I had one problem.

"I can't read letters, I can't write"

"Uh... what if my sister, the Upper Hall, taught me? I guess I can write it. Or maybe you know the magic of being able to read and write letters."

"I'll ask. Thanks for today. I'd like to take it if I could write it, but wouldn't it be annoying to go directly?

"I don't think it would be a problem if you didn't stay like a dragon. If you think there's a problem, you can give it to Mithalam or Korhok via the sister-in-law, and we'll get it here."

"Okay."

A snorted white dragon figure returns from person to dragon.

After seeing Yusuke with the colour of gratitude in his eyes, the blinking day disappears into the sky starting to tilt.

A word of gratitude came from Arcelan to Kosuke, who would drop it off. You're welcome to return it and go back to town.

Residents also found out that the white dragon had left because it passed over the town. A relieved atmosphere surrounds the town.

People end up descending into the mountains for White Dragon and discussing what stayed. Naturally, there was no one to talk to about life and guess. This topic will be passed down forever as a folklore of the town.

"He's gone, so I don't care why. Come on, it's a banquet. No more anxiety, and let's have fun."

The Merrills were talking, too, but make them forget that they can't even think about it or figure out the answer.

"... right"

It was originally meant to be fun.

Turning her expression from anxiety to a smile, Merrill and Serena nodded.

"The most koske watase! Play!"

Kosuke, who took out his guitar, chose a lively song to cheer up the place and started playing it.

The atmosphere of the large room, prepared as a banquet hall, turns into a lively one.

Fun laughter reaches outside the inn as well, making the whole town busy as contagious. Blowing up anxiety and other things a while ago made me laugh from all over town.

After noon the next day, he went back to Rickart, whispering that the line was enjoyable, enjoying both hot springs and specialty vegetables.
