Strongest Onmyouji's Isekai Adventure ~ The Monsters are too weak compared to my Youkai Servant's~

Protoasta was a busy but historic city.

Unlike Rodney, where the development is relatively new, and the imperial capital, where the city has flashly burned in the past due to heavy fires, there are still numerous old buildings.

I wanted to try sightseeing or something, but I was just tired that day and didn't have that kind of energy.

No dining, etc. The prince also said he didn't get his hands on the administration he was accumulating and that he would rest soon.

Well, I can't help it.

****

So, the day after that.

Me and Efa had come to a library built inside the old royal castle.

The purpose, of course, is to examine the dragon's records.

I thought I could find more literature in this city than I would look for in Rodney... but I was surprised to find a better library than I expected. Apparently, most of the books in Astilia can be made and collected here.

It's hard to find literature because of it.

But for that matter, I found more material than I expected.

I'm just looking into the contents now.

I also have Efa to help me. She just can't read this ancient language, so it's not as good as I thought.

"... Instead, Seika-kun, where did you remember that?

"In the mansion library."

It's one of the different languages I learned in my childhood.

I can't talk or listen, but I can read and write fine.

The official language of the Empire is now also used in Astilia, but many ancient language materials were recorded more than a hundred years ago.

And there's information written that I don't know as much as an old book.

Some of them seemed important.

"Seika-kun... it's over for me. Did you find anything over there?

Efa walks in looking tired.

Just the literature in the official language was pretty good. But was there any gain in this way?

I nod and answer.

"Oh. Looks like something similar was happening about a hundred and fifty years ago."

Apparently, Astilian dragons were born hundreds of years ago, although there is no clear record.

It is said that it was hatched from eggs by the queen, but it is uncertain. What is certain is that for hundreds of years after adulthood, we have been living with the inhabitants of the city with our territory around the mountains.

That changed a little over two hundred years ago.

One time in the territory, another dragon came.

Though the dragon of Astilia had at first driven away that dragon, which was an unwanted intruder, it eventually became living together in the mountain of residence.

The Astilian dragon was male and the new dragon was female, and it seems to have become the number.

The female dragon also stopped showing interest in the people of the city after it became the number.

The residents, who were afraid at first, also gradually began to embrace the dragon, and eventually the city returned to life until then.

But after about fifty years, the dragons will change again.

Together, they became more vigilant, attacking stranded livestock and intimidating people coming from outside.

Just like now.

That was a hundred and fifty years ago.

At the time, the reason was so lost that I found out.

One day, a year or so after something went wrong, a child's dragon appeared on the mountain of his residence.

"Oh, so you're saying it was to raise a baby?

"I guess so"

It is not uncommon for a creature to get distracted before laying eggs or during parenting.

It was also attacking livestock, perhaps the magic power of the land alone could not accumulate strength.

The child's dragon grew up well.

The spawning seemed to have taken place several times apart, with some children born first taking care of the children born later, he said.

When they grew older, the children's dragons nestled.

There's no record of where he went. However, I'm sure you went for a distant land anyway.

All the dragons of the child nested, and nearly fifty more years passed - the female dragon died.

The record shows natural death.

I don't know if the monster has a lifespan. However, even a demon (awkward), such as a pipe fox, eventually dies when he gives birth to a child. Maybe it was something close to that.

Then, the Astilian dragon grew very grown up.

The territory was much narrower than it was until then, and the aggressiveness of the city against its enemies and monsters totally lurked the chirp.

This was about a hundred years ago.

This is also why Astilia became an imperial nation, he said, in the first place.

At the time, it was a time when the Demons were showing signs of invasion.

Astilia, who had been dropped some of the fortifications and could no longer even rely on the dragon, who was the guardian of the absolute king's capital, entered its asylum by entering into an analogous relationship with the Imperial royal family and inviting the army into the country.

Substantially dominated form, but I guess I couldn't replace my belly on my back.

It seems that the demon army has given up and withdrawn from any further incursions.

Not so much thereafter, transitional capital was made for administrative reasons, and the city became the former king capital from the king capital.

Even today, the land is owned by the king and it is customary for a chief elected by the royal family to rule. Now, Prince Cecilio is it.

I guess Astilian dragons have just been watching quietly for a long time, watching the changes in the city.

Until recently.

"I was... but I guess that doesn't really matter about this one"

says Efa.

"Now, that's the only dragon, isn't it?

"Oh. And it's the male who's here now. I wouldn't even be raising a child. Just, hey..."

I don't think it matters.

By way of example, it's just a thought.

When this is the case... is there still only action?

"I'll climb the mountain."

"What! What mountain... no way, the dragon lives there?

"Oh."

Best to visit the site and actually take a look at the dragon nearby.

Observation is important in biology and monster research.

Efa says in a vehement manner.

"Oh, it's dangerous. No matter how much Seika-kun, the dragons are no match..."

"I'm not going to fight anything else. If you find him, you can run. I can't win, but it's not that hard."

The truth is, if you want to take it down, you can.

"Oh, yeah? Then I too..."

"No, Efa wait for me. Probably not for a day, and it's just dangerous."

I might end up using techniques and demons that I don't really want to show.

Things were just different when I went into the mountains to find demon stones in the territory.

"Oh, haha, right..."

You care about me when I get angry, I laugh and say to Efa, who seems a little depressed.

"You don't have to worry. No matter how much, I haven't thought about taking you to the mountains since the beginning. I'm on summer vacation, relax."

"... yeah"

Efa nods softly.

Hmmm...... I guess I said a little too much yesterday.
