Time has passed since I died as a dragon and was reborn as a human, and I was standing on a corner of the grassland that can be found anywhere in the world.

Although the cold of winter remains a bit, the warm winds that foretell the coming of spring shake the meadow that stretches to my knees, as if I were standing in the green sea. there were.

The scent of flowers is faintly mixed in the wind.

"Dran, let's go home soon."

"Hmmm, yes.

Looking back at my eyes, a girl with red curly hair stretched to the middle of her back is reflected.

The girl's name is Airi. In addition to Airi, four children are scattered all over the meadow.

I and Ayri are both villagers in a small village on the continental border. Not just a child. A human child. That ’s human.

Just an unconfirmed guess, but I was still a baby and had some insight into why the incarnation was done.

Perhaps during the last battle I died as a dragon, magic was used to force me to reincarnate.

I followed Airi and other children a few steps back on the way home to the village of Bern, the hometown of humanity.

Bern is a remote village on the outskirts. It has a population of about three hundred and surrounds the village with moats around the village and thick stone walls.

In the frontiers where demons, robbers, and barbarians appear frequently, this is a fairly common defense.

The entrance to the village has two double wooden gates in the north and south. A gatekeeper, always armed with a spear, sword and bow, guards the gates two by two.

Along the way, he talked and talked about himself, frolicking around, and the children kept moving all the way home. A human child is just a chunk of energy.

Having separated from the children in the village's central square, I head to a poor house made of mud, wood and straw mixed with grass.

In the Kingdom of Bern, the age of fifteen is considered an adult in the kingdom of the village, and in rural areas the boys other than the eldest son leave their homes at that age and build their own homes on the land provided by the village or their parents' home. There is.

This year, when I was 16 years old, I left home last year and am currently enjoying my life alone.

I had more harvests than I expected today, so I decided to drop in at my parents' house and divide it.

I handed herb and bread moss to my mother and finished my business. I returned and turned my feet to my home.

The dinner that day was a simple soup made with bread moss and vegetables from the field, and the crunchy black bread my mother gave me on the way home.

It's a normal dinner, but even now, 16 years after my birth as a human, the tastes and other sensations of humans that are different from dragons give me a fresh stimulus that doesn't fade.

After all, looking up at the moon, you can't see the hole in the moon, and the information that captures your ears and nose is completely different from a dragon. I doubt that humans and dragons live in the same world.

Everything that I saw, heard, tasted, and sniffed was completely different from when I was a dragon, for me it was an experience I couldn't get used to.

The changes in the five senses really made me experience the new world.

One day, I prayed to thank for being able to eat safely without the monsters attacking, and I was immersed in the work of shaving affordable tree branches to make wooden spears and arrows before entering the floor. Was.

One day, I decided to head to the swamp northwest of the village where the Lizard once settled.

The Lizard had a friendly relationship with the people of the village of Bern, but before the reincarnation he became unfit for living due to a catastrophe in the swamp, and is now by the lake above the river flowing through the village Have moved to

I decided to go and look into the swamp for a few days, and I was ready for several days.

On the morning of the day we headed for the swamp, I was ready to talk to my brother Marco in front of my house. Mark, two below me, has a delicate look that resembles her mother and can be mistaken for a woman.

Even so, he is a remote boy in a harsh environment, so having one of his daggers can kill one or two goblins.

I asked Marco, who wore a conspicuous shirt that was my brother and my descendant, to take care of my home and the field where I was away while heading to the swamp.

"I'm going to return overnight tomorrow evening, overnight.

"Yeah, good. I don't have to do much because Doran's fields are well-groomed. Be careful because Doran has a lot of swamps."

After finishing greetings with Marco, I left the village, carrying a leather bag full of food and water for two days, carrying a dagger and a long sword for protection.

The road to the swamp used to be squeezed, but in the last ten years or so, the walkers have died off, so the road was all-you-can-eat.

Proceeding on the way to the swamp without being assaulted by Mark worried, I was able to reach the target swamp by the time the sun passed somewhere in the middle.

I dropped my eyes on the vast swamp that spread in front of me. There are countless tall grasses and trees on the banks, and the ground underneath is muddy with plenty of water.

There is no strange smell from the swamp, but there is little sign of life nearby. Overlooking the site of the settlement where the lizards once lived.

"HM"

I had been thinking for a moment with my arms crossed, but I interrupted my thoughts as I slipped behind and heard a giant snake crawling over muddy ground.

I looked back, even if the lizard-owned serpent was still there.

In front of me, looking back, was a beautiful girl with long, stretched gold hair that glistened in the sun.

There is no doubt that the arrangement of the eyes, nose and mouth is exactly what a modeling genius can do, and its blue eyes are dazzling like sapphire.

She wore a simple light blue dress and hung her bag diagonally from her shoulder.

The embarrassed color appears on the face of a girl who remains innocent in her late teens, and a long tongue with a forked tip repeats from the red lips.

As we stared at each other, the girl's face was far above me, and the giant snake's torso with green scales stretched out from the one-piece hem.

The wavy serpent is the lower body of the girl.

Lamia, I muttered in my heart. It is a demon that only female snakes exist.

The founder says that the lost princess of the kingdom has been cursed and transformed, but he did not know that he lived near his hometown.

Lamia looked at me and smiled and licked her red lips with her long tongue. New saliva lipstick is applied, further increasing the glossiness of Lamia's lips.

"It's a reluctant person to come to this place alone. Is there anyone else?"

It was a very sweet voice. But what a stick reading. She seems to be nervous and the root of her tongue is not moving well.

"I'm the only one, nobody else."

"That's right, it was good."

In front of me, Lamia puts her hand on a rich breast and exhales relievedly.

"HM"

However, Lamia is still a dangerous monster for humans. I extend my right hand to the waist's long sword and gently squeeze the handle.

"Wait, wait, I'm human-"

Without waiting for the Lamia girl to finish, I drew my long sword in a breath, swirled on the muddy ground with the wind, and cut through my mud's arms attacking from behind.

The mud's arm extending from the ground behind me splits cleanly, and both return to the mud and fall down with a wet sound on the ground.

"--I won't attack you ...?"

"In the past, the Lizards lived here, but one day the swamps began to turn cloudy and moved to another location.

It's the reason they got emigrated. A crazy earth spirit. It may have increased in the flow of time. It was right that everyone in the village had never approached the swamp so far. ''

I felt the ground under my feet turned into a bottomless marsh, and just before my body sank, I kicked the barely solid ground, and jumped to the left of Lamia.

"Eh, uh !?"

"I hear Lamia can handle magic, but what about?"

"It works, but Lamia is a creature that belongs to the earth, and my race is close to water, so if the spirits of the earth are your opponents ..."

"Speaking of which, most of the Lamia species belong to the territory. The spirits of the earth are also water-powered, so it's difficult for your magic to hit you, huh."

"Ah, but that's right. Lamia has its own magic, so I think it works for the spirits of the earth!"

"Well, that helps. There is a suggestion, but will you and I fight together against the spirits?

It would be more efficient than fighting alone. I want to leave my back to you because I'm out front, how about? "

"Yes, huh, I'm a disgust, but thank you!"

"That's the word when we get married."

"Eh, oh, oh, sorry."

I muttered only in my heart, saying that this is an interesting girl, and I rushed toward the mud with one long sword.

The mud's arm is as large as my arm even if I take one finger, and it seems that one or two bones can easily break if hit by it.

This mud's arm itself is not an earth spirit. It is only a piece that a crazy earth spirit manipulates, and has the effect of consuming some of the power of the earth spirit when defeated.

I use the long sword that carries the magic of the dragon to swarm the mud's arm that attacks like a snake that jumps at my prey.

The magic power of the long sword instantly negates the power of the earth spirit that was moving the mud's arm, and the mud's arm returns to just mud.

The spell of a demon-powered Lamia girl began to shake the surrounding atmosphere as my slashing mud arm and the speed at which the mud arm revived remained almost unchanged.

"The serpent of the cursed demon that flows through me, now it comes out and gives that curse to my enemies, Jalaam!"

The curse that once turned the body given to God into a snake is materialized by the chanting of a Lamia girl, and the ghost of a transparent large snake appears between the mud arms regarded as enemies, and the ghost rapidly turns the entity Takes a clear and intimidating voice.

"HM"

It's an "exclamation" with the meaning of exclamation.

Species-specific magic has a habit and its power is determined to be powerful because it is difficult to use, but the power of the magic called Jalaam is higher than I thought.

By the time the cursed serpent disappeared, all the mud's arms that had attacked us had been defeated and returned to the soil.

The lack of a new appearance of the mud's arms shows that the Lamia girl relaxed from her shoulders, and that she was distracted at the edge of sight, and I had to tell her that relief was still early. Was.

"Don't be distracted yet, because the spirits of the earth seem to have finally begun to appear."

"Yes, yes."

When I was impressed that she was an obedient girl, the spirit of the earth grew rapidly near the center of the swamp, and the black, muddy water surface rose like a mountain, and the earth's spirit, which was the master of the swamp, Appear in front of us.

At the top of the mud was a projection that could barely be seen as the upper body of a human, and the head had depressions and swells that could be distinguished from eyes and nose.

"Appropriately distract the spirit with magic so that it doesn't hit me."

"Oh, it's dangerous!"

When the spirit of the crazy earth reaches the shore from the center of the swamp, it stops approaching, stretches out two arms from the body of the mud toward us, and looks at me from the tip and shoots the mud shells I've skipped.

Mud bullets containing the power of the earth's spirit are fired in succession in two, three, and four shots.

There is plenty of mud and water in this bog that make up the spirit's temporary body, so the end is invisible even if it is sharply cut.

The easiest way would be to destroy the core of the spirit with a single blow.

"Snake in my blood, thrust your poison at my enemy, Jaduk!"

Behind me, the powerful words of a Lamia girl resonate, the illusion of a snake that reappears on the giant body of the earth's spirit, entangles, and the tusks peeking out from the wide open chin are vigorously pushed into the body of the earth's spirit .

The translucent serpent's fangs showed purple liquid dripping, and it was obvious that the liquid was a cursed compressed poison.

The poison seems to have had some effect on the crazy earth spirits that have become a huge mass of spirit power, and the earth spirit giants begin to tremble in front of me.

I could see that my eyes, which could only be seen as depressions of the spirits of the crazy earth, saw my face.

It is not clear what the thoughts of the mad spirit are like, but it is for this spirit that you release it from the primordial body as soon as possible and return it to the spirit world where it should be.

Earlier than the end of the earth's spirit, which looks like a humanoid, the tip of a spear of mud peeped innumerably and tried to skewer me, I was a long flash of a long sword that began to emit white light with more magic. , From the top of the humanoid site to the base.

"Hooray!"

I heard the applause of the Lamia girl, and I was a little proud of my habit with mercy on the earth's spirits.

"HM"

Now that we have eliminated the cause of the turbidity of the swamp, the balance of nature and spiritual power will be resolved and the flow of time will be resolved.

As if aiming for the moment when I was so relieved, the two large bodies of earth spirits returned to their original mud chunks, and, unlike the avalanche or mud tsunami, stayed behind me and me I swallowed a Lamia girl.

Just before being swallowed by the brown waves that fill up the field of vision, she covered her body with magic and treated her clothes and skin so that she did not get wet with the mud.

As the mud flooded the ankles, I looked back to see if the Lamia girl was safe,

"Uh, mud has got into my mouth. In addition, my clothes and hair are soaked ..."

Unlike me, I saw a girl in Lamia who got mud from her head, her beautiful gold hair and clothes soaked and soiled with mud.
