Chapter 84 \u2013 A Forest Dragon and a Barrier Breakdown<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author\u2019s Note: The title contains a spoiler.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once Blue had finished her steak and recovered some energy, the two of us took to the skies for our maiden flight around the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area. We\u2019re also going to visit her home, so that she can say goodbye to her family before we leave. Maria wanted to tag along, but Blue asked her to \u201cAt least for the first time, please let it be just me and Master.\u201d, so we were only accompanied by Tamo-san (apparently, it doesn\u2019t count).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs I thought, it\u2019s totally different from flying on my own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mumbled while riding on Blue\u2019s back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flying with Nosferatu is different from flying with a mount, since I have to keep paying attention to it while using its \u2018Flight\u2019 skill, so, all in all, It\u2019s a little tiring. Well, I\u2019m essentially focusing on a body part that I don\u2019t normally have, so it\u2019s only natural that it would be somewhat burdensome\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that topic, Blue\u2019s back is surprisingly steady. Even though the level of her \u2018Flight\u2019 skill is lower than mine, perhaps because her race specializes in it, her flying is very smooth and elegant. It might be due to her unique skill, \u2018Zero Gravity\u2019, but there\u2019s virtually no acceleration, even when she does a sharp turn. It feels nice and relaxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEh? You can fly, Master?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, Blue hasn\u2019t seen it? I can fly with this cloak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I explained, while manipulating Nosferatu\u2019s shape to demonstrate. Now that I think about it, we barely had any contact with her, back when she still went by Tenri, so it\u2019s only natural that she wouldn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaster really is unbelievable\u2026 But Master, now that I\u2019m here, please don\u2019t use that cloak any more and just tell me when you want to fly, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll think about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m Shindou Jin, a man who doesn\u2019t go with the flow, and just says \u201cYes\u201d. Pleased to meet you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey! You were supposed to promise me there!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut, this cloak is really convenient\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGrrrrr! One day I\u2019ll make you say I\u2019m better than that stupid cloth! Just watch me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It must be because of her pride as a mount, right? That she\u2019s getting so fired up with a sense of rivalry against Nosferatu. Well, Sky Dragons stand out quite a lot, so they aren\u2019t really suited for moving around covertly. Plus, Nosferatu\u2019s \u2018Flight\u2019 skill level is higher, so it\u2019s just faster\u2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While having such a conversation, we flew a full circle around the Hidden Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, Blue visited her family\u2019s home to say her goodbyes. Obviously, I didn\u2019t go with her. After another half-an-hour or so, she came back out, looking slightly teary-eyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor now, I properly apologized to them. They told me that, even though I\u2019ve been tamed and we won\u2019t be able to see each other again, it\u2019s fine as long as I\u2019m still alive. Thinking about it now, I really was blessed\u2026 Jeez, what a moronic thing I\u2019ve done\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even without me asking, Blue gave me a rough account, with a wry smile on her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026Thank you Master. For giving me this chance before we left the Hidden Area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry about it. I\u2019m kind to my subordinates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIs that so? Guess I\u2019ll just take your word for it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh? Look at you, making cheeky comments already. Unfortunately, while I did say that \u2018I\u2019m kind to my subordinates\u2019, it would probably be more accurate to say that I\u2019m just really possessive about the things I own. Still, I do care for them as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having finished our first flight together, we headed towards the Chieftain\u2019s Mansion. While the two of us were flying about, the other members have been making preparations for us leaving the Hidden Area. Last night we had already decided to leave around noon today, and while this whole duel malarkey has altered our plans a little, there isn\u2019t really any good enough reason for us to stay any longer, so, as planned, we\u2019ll be leaving the Hidden Area after lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mio and Sera went to fetch the dragon newt cooking apprentices whom we\u2019ll be taking with us. We haven\u2019t had any more unpleasantries after the duel, so we will be taking 3 of them. Sakura, Dora and Maria on the other hand, returned to the Chieftain\u2019s Mansion to pack up the things we left in the room that we borrowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlright, we\u2019ve arrived.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh? Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got down from Blue who had landed in front of the Chieftain\u2019s Mansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWelcome back, Jin-sama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, I\u2019m back, Maria.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ED: In Japanese, you respond to \u2018Okaerinasaimase\u2019 (Welcome home) with \u2018Tadaima\u2019 (I\u2019m back). There isn\u2019t really a good substitute for this in English)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I greeted Maria who was waiting for us in front of the mansion. Once I got off her back, Blue turned back into her (totally naked) human form, causing the saddle she was wearing to fall down to the ground noisily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe should probably take it off before you transform, huh?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue never wore a saddle before, so it\u2019s only reasonable that she would forget about it, but, seeing as it is a high quality item according to Alta, we should probably handle it with more care in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I headed inside the mansion with Maria and Blue following closely behind me. The moment we entered I could smell the delicious scent of curry. Mio must be making lunch. As a side note, Japanese curry rice uses a curry spice blend that\u2019s mostly popular in Japan, so if an Indian person were to see it, they probably wouldn\u2019t even consider it curry. Anyway, thanks to the fact that the Chamber of Advanced Commerce\u2019s influence has spread like wildfire, it seems like they were able to acquire quite a variety of spices\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m back~\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, Master, welcome back. We\u2019re having curry for lunch! I\u2019m also making enough to leave for the tamed dragon newts who are staying behind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could hear Mio\u2019s voice all the way from the entrance, leading me to where she was cooking. She\u2019s currently stirring a stupidly huge pot of curry. Then again, she will probably need quite a lot to feed so many dragon newts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy the way, based on what I\u2019ve heard, the reason why curry tastes better after being left overnight is because some of the ingredients slightly decompose, so it\u2019s not just a case of the tastes mingling better to make it more delicious. But still, I\u2019m not having any more food poisoning cases on my watch, so I won\u2019t allow that to happen! You have until the end of the day to eat it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given how she once caused several people to die from food poisoning (or something similar) with her home-made mayonnaise, it seems like leaving food out for a long time has become somewhat of a taboo for Mio. I feel like she\u2019s overreacting a bit, but still\u2026 As a side note, it seems that the stomachs of dragon newts don\u2019t really get upset by ingredients that have gone slightly off. Well, they\u2019re monsters at the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some time after that, as we were enjoying some curry together with the dragon newt cooking apprentices, Blue and Mikazuki, an uninvited guest showed up, barely making it in time to catch us before we left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuel me one more time!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one known as Stupid Bug was here, and as if it were only natural, the branch family members followed one step behind him. They seemed to be the same group as earlier today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou, \u2026what selfish thing are you even saying at this point?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain, who was eating together with us, asked while staring at Stupid Bug with cold eyes. Apparently, he got interested in curry, as he accepted when I offered, and ended up joining us for lunch. Still, while he certainly seemed to enjoy his meal, he wasn\u2019t drooling, or stuffing himself with food, like all the other dragon newts. As expected of the Chieftain. \u2026Perhaps I\u2019ve been underestimating the Dragon Newts too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, Stupid Bug\u2019s face is wrapped in some kind of bandages, and it seems like he can\u2019t speak properly. It would seem that the potions they had on hand in the Hidden Area couldn\u2019t heal him completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no way I could have lost to the likes of a human. It\u2019s obvious that you must have used some cowardly tricks. Still, I will look the other way, so accept another duel with me. This time I will start in my dragon form, so don\u2019t even think you\u2019ll be able to cheat again!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAkatsuki, you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the false charge of \u2018using cowardly tricks\u2019, he\u2019s also blaming his loss on him being in his human form, despite being the one who chose to stay in it in the first place. As expected, even the Chieftain couldn\u2019t help but sound astounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, from among the branch family members, who hadn\u2019t said anything until now, an elderly woman stepped forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChieftain, If you don\u2019t listen to Akatsuki\u2019s demands, then, this time as well, Hisui will step down from being a chieftain candidate. Would that be alright with you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right, as my aunt just said, if you want Hisui to be the next chieftain, then you\u2019ll listen to my demands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Hisui steps down, then there won\u2019t be any more chieftain candidates left in the Hidden Area. \u2026They\u2019re using the exact same threat they used yesterday. How uncreative. Not that it matters, but it seems that the elderly woman is Stupid Bug\u2019s aunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo you think you can just bring that out whenever you want?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile that\u2019s certainly true, we\u2019ve finally got a good bargaining chip, so it would be a waste to not use it, don\u2019t you think? Also, there\u2019s no helping being a little indulgent with Akatsuki since he\u2019s family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHmpf\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain replied in dissatisfaction, but the old woman\u2019s expression didn\u2019t bulge one bit. It seems like even though she knows she\u2019s saying some unreasonable things, she doesn\u2019t intend to back down at all. Since Stupid Bug acts like that all the time, I guess it\u2019s only natural for the branch family members behind him to do so as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the last time\u2019s duel we left it all to Akatsuki, but it seems that the human pulled some cowardly trick, so we\u2019re left with no other choice but to use our strongest bargaining chip again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSorry I caused you trouble, Aunt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fine, Akatsuki. I also have no intention of letting humans trample all over our Hidden Area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHmpf, you two\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain replied in vexation, while Stupid Bug kept grinning as if he had just won a great victory. He must be thinking he has already won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue\u2019s branch family wasn\u2019t actually that bad as it turned out, but this branch family seems to be worthless in more ways than one. I guess that\u2019s that then. They decided to waste the final chance I gave them, so I don\u2019t have any reason to hold back any more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*clap*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf Hisui had somehow already lost her right to be a chieftain candidate, then her value as this \u2018strongest bargaining chip\u2019 would also disappear, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I muttered to myself as I stepped in between the old woman and the Chieftain. It might have sounded like I was asking someone, but I was actually just talking to myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHuman, what are you talking about? Don\u2019t get in the way of our conver-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHisui, come!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeees.\u201d (ED: She speaks really slowly, like she\u2019s in no rush whatsoever)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old woman started saying something, but I ignored her and called out to the chieftain candidate Hisui who was standing behind her along with the other branch family members, making her come forward while responding in a lazy manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHisui? What are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEeeh? Master called me so I\u2019m going to hiiim.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWha-!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hisui\u2019s answer caused all the branch family members to become speechless. Naturally, the \u2018Master\u2019 she mentioned is me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, I have already tamed Hisui a while ago. More specifically, she was among the first 4 people I tamed with meat skewers, after they saw Mikazuki get tamed, and couldn\u2019t hold themselves back any more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHisui, don\u2019t tell me you\u2019ve been tamed by this human!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cW-what!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old woman and Stupid Bug shouted out in surprise. The other branch family members also started raising a commotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s riiight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cW-why didn\u2019t you tell us!? If you\u2019ve been tamed, then we can\u2019t use your position as a chieftain candidate as a bargaining chip any more!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wouldn\u2019t you know? Rather than her relatives, the old woman and Stupid bug, it\u2019s actually her master, the person who tamed her, who can influence Hisui\u2019s actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause you didn\u2019t ask meee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hisui uttered a template response of a child who can\u2019t act on their own accord. She doesn\u2019t seem suited to be the next chieftain at all, but she would work splendidly as a puppet for the branch family, to let them hold all the power. Combined with the fact that Stupid Bug used to be Dora\u2019s fiance at one point, this branch family starts to look really power hungry all of a sudden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not that it matters any more, mind you. Stupid Bug\u2019s engagement with Dora had already been cancelled, and they no longer hold any sway over Hisui, so all of their plans of coming to power have basically been thwarted at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh yeah, I still have to properly declare it to the Chieftain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChieftain, the fifth dragon newt we\u2019ll be taking outside of the Hidden Area is Hisui\u2026 No, let\u2019s rename her. Your new name is \u2018Leaf\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeees. I got iiit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is Hisui\u2019s, who is now called Leaf, status. Though it is a little late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name: Leaf<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LV3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gender: Female<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Age: 19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Race: Dragon Newt (Forest Dragon)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skill: <Draconic Magic LV1> <Cultivation LV5> <Flight LV3> <Guardian of Greenery LV-> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title: Jin\u2019s Monster Follower<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<Guardian of Greenery [Forest Pump]><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While within a forest, grants a large boost to status. Also grants effects equivalent to those of  \u2018HP Auto-Recovery\u2019 and \u2018MP Auto-Recovery\u2019 skills at LV5.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ED: Yep, she\u2019s a hippie dragon newt all right. Also, \u2018hisui\u2019 means \u2018jade green\u2019)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to other dragon newts, her level is certainly low considering her age, so she must have led a pretty sheltered life. She certainly would have been a decorative chieftain. However, her unique skill is rather strong, so if she had been raised properly, she would have become pretty ridiculous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, Tenri-chan is here tooo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s \u2018Blue\u2019 now. Pleased to meet you again, Leaf.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease take care of meee. Um, Blue-chan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaf greeted Blue, when she noticed her standing behind me. She does seem pretty empty-headed, doesn\u2019t she?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cT-there\u2019s no way I will allow this! Chieftain, you say something too. If it\u2019s left like this, then we won\u2019t have any chieftain candidates left. No, something like taming a chieftain candidate shouldn\u2019t have been allowed in the first place! Release the taming on Hisui!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat the heck\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old woman started panicking, but I\u2019m not going to release the taming without receiving something of equal value. Well, even if there was compensation, I still wouldn\u2019t do it if I didn\u2019t feel like it\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain, on the other hand, was simply shocked by the revelation. It\u2019s not just the withdrawal of a single chieftain candidate any more. It has now come to the point where all the chieftain candidates have been disqualified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, you weren\u2019t just aiming for Tenri\u2026 Then, when did you tame Hisui?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt the very beginning, when we were first handing out meat skewers. Still, I wasn\u2019t expecting it to end up like this at the time. Anyhow, considering all that, wouldn\u2019t it be fine to just select new chieftain candidates at this point?\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026So that\u2019s how it is. You\u2019re trying to get me, to get us to break the rules.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I asked him, reiterating what I had already suggested to him once before. It seems that the Chieftain, who has surprisingly keen intuition, has also realized what I was trying to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPretty much. Well, it\u2019s not like I really intended to take it this far. Since Akatsuki and the branch family members kept being annoying, I mostly did it to shut them up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt seems that I\u2019m also partially responsible for this, seeing as I did nothing to stop them\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyun~! Supervisor\u2019s responsibility~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It helps that he understood the gist of what I was trying to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat are you saying!? This isn\u2019t the time to be having such a carefree conversation! If we don\u2019t force them to release the taming, the entire Hidden Area might be destroyed!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt won\u2019t be destroyed. If we bend the rules a little, and select new chieftain candidates, then that should suffice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChieftain! Are you going to break the rules yourself!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain seemed to have already resigned himself, but the old woman refused to back down. I suppose if it\u2019s done this way, she\u2019ll go all the way back to only having a third chieftain candidate on her side. She must be desperate to somehow remove the taming from Hisui and restore her previous status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo we have any other choice? If we don\u2019t break the rules we won\u2019t have another chieftain. We have to do it, whether we like it or not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo we don\u2019t! We can just kill these humans! Wouldn\u2019t that be much safer!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right! We have been lenient up till now, so they\u2019re taking advantage of us. Now that it\u2019s come to this, we must kill the humans and reclaim the Hidden Area!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old woman and Stupid Bug started saying some dangerous things. Seeing how he was Dora\u2019s family, even if only for a moment, I hadn\u2019t killed Stupid Bug until now, despite having recognized his as an enemy, but if this situation were to turn into a battle, I will no longer be able to guarantee his life. Or, more like, I will kill him myself if it comes to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStop spouting nonsense! Don\u2019t you understand!? If we were to fight these people, we would also be fighting our tamed brethren!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cT-there\u2019s no way such a thing could be true. Even though they\u2019re tamed, if it were to become a battle, surely they would join us\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs I thought, you don\u2019t understand. Taming is not such a lenient thing. Do not be mistaken, they would join Jin-dono.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cN-no way\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looks like the old woman has finally realized the full extent of the situation they have found themselves in. The horror of having close to a hundred dragon newts of the Hidden Area turn against their kin, not to mention that Hisui, the one she wanted to become the next chieftain, was also among them. Also, does the Chieftain know some details about taming? His reaction was obviously different, but\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn top of that, just one of them was enough to easily defeat the dragon that even the best of our warriors couldn\u2019t match. You say they only managed it because it was weakened, but even if that were the case, what would happen if several such people were to turn into our enemies along with the tamed dragon newts? It would obviously result in the destruction of the Hidden Area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, if we were to actually fight, the Hidden Area would be destroyed. It\u2019s the only possible outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cW-were they that strong\u2026? No, if I think about how easily they defeated Akatsuki, it doesn\u2019t sound like an exaggeration\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAunt! What are you acting weak for! If we gather all the dragon newts in the Hidden Area, sure, there will be some losses, but we\u2019ll surely kill these humans! In the end, it will be our victory!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cT-that is\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stupid Bug said something unreasonable again. As expected, the old woman became speechless after hearing his plan of fighting us by sacrificing his allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaah~, the situation just keeps getting worse because of you. As Jin-dono said, it truly has become troublesome. I don\u2019t think I can cover for you any longer, Akatsuki.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain said after a deep sigh. While we were the ones directly targeted by Stupid Bug, it was probably the Chieftain, who was stuck between us and him, trying to do something about it, who had the hardest time. Do you need some stomach medicine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026Does Chieftain have no intention of fighting with those humans?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNaturally. I\u2019d rather break the rules than fight Jin-dono.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain answered the old woman\u2019s question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t screw with me\u2026 You\u2019re going to just ignore this human throwing mud at my face again and again\u2026 How can I allow such a thing to happen\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stupid Bug\u2019s eyes were bloodshot, and he was glaring at me with a terrifying expression on his face. He was completely livid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAkatsuki, let\u2019s return for now and think up another plan. No good will come from us staying here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEnough of this\u2026 If the Chieftain is going to break the rules so that he doesn\u2019t have to fight the humans, then I will also break them in order to fight them\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ignoring the old woman\u2019s words, Stupid Bug turned into his dragon form. Since the Chieftain\u2019s Mansion is pretty large, there is enough space for him to move around inside, but Golden Dragons are relatively large to begin with, so it is just barely\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAkatsuki, Stop!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease stop, Akatsuki!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will at least make sure to kill you! Die, Human!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the Chieftain and the old woman\u2019s attempts to stop him, he swung his arm, which was now incomparably heavier than in his human form, trying to kill me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-slash-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria, who had silently stepped in front of me, cut off his arm with a single motion. How careless. I think Stupid Bug really ought to learn more from his past mistakes. Ah, I guess he did kind of learn not to use \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019, since it would be nullified by Sera. Good job, good job (in monotone).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGyaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having had his entire arm suddenly severed, Stupid Bug\u2019s scream echoes throughout the Chieftain\u2019s Mansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAkatsuki!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing him like that, the old woman screamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince he attacked me with clear killing intent, I\u2019ve reached the limit of my patience. I will kill Akatsuki. Chieftain, Leaf, do you have any problem with that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, I stopped myself from killing him, even though he was hostile towards us, because he was Dora\u2019s relative. The second time, I did it because it would be bad for our ability to do sightseeing in the Hidden Area. But three times is the limit. \u2018Even Buddha will get angry if you slap his face three times\u2019. (ED: A Japanese proverb)<\/em> Now I\u2019m no Buddha, but I\u2019m still not going to put up with this any longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the duel, killing was prohibited, so I only gave him severe injuries, but now it seems he\u2019s full of killing intent, so I\u2019ve got no reason to hold back any more. After this, we\u2019ll be leaving the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area for good anyway, so there\u2019s no problem if we make a bit of a mess before we leave. Just to be sure I still checked with his superior, the Chieftain, and his relative, Leaf, but as you might expect, I\u2019m still going to kill him regardless of what they say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile I can\u2019t say I\u2019m okay with it\u2026 \u2026As I said, I don\u2019t think I can cover for him any longer\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fiiine. More importantly, please give me some of that delicious smelling foood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Chieftain seemed reluctant, Leaf answered as if it had nothing to do with her. Mio passes her a serving of curry rice. She\u2019s already been tamed, so there\u2019s no problem with us giving her food. Still, It seems Leaf has completely no interest in Stupid Bug. Perhaps, did they not get along, despite being from the same branch family?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDamn you, Human! Damn you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even while in agony, Stupid Bug kept spitting curses at me. I drew Soul Blade \u2013 Incomplete [Tangerine] and pointed it at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGuh\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t even have to use a skill, as the sheer pressure was enough to make him shrink away. This guy really is gorgeous when you look at him. Well, even if I say gorgeous, it\u2019s more like that gaudy sparkling look that hurts the eyes, that overnight millionaires tend to go for\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShit!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saying that, Stupid Bug turned around and ran away. Eh? Now you\u2019re going to run? Seriously?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all this posturing, and glaring at me with eyes that want to curse me to death, all you do is run away? \u2026\u2026That\u2019s kind of boring, really. Well, enough of this already, let\u2019s just kill him and be done with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cI won\u2019t let you go any further than this! You\u2019ll definitely kill Akatsuki, won\u2019t you!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just when I was about to chase after Stupid Bug, the old woman stood in my way after taking her dragon form, in order to block the passage. Oh, it seems like she\u2019s a Golden Dragon, the same as Akatsuki. It hurts my eyes. (ED: The joke here is, that he reacted in the same way to seeing Akatsuki\u2019s dragon form for the first time, though I might have worded it slightly differently)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, why is this old woman willing to go so far for Stupid Bug\u2019s sake?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: It is very rare for family members to share a dragon form. When it does happen, there seems to be a tendency to favour them more than necessary.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, almost all the dragon newts in the Hidden Area have different dragon forms, and the ones that do share a dragon form, aren\u2019t usually related. So, basically, she just couldn\u2019t help spoiling him, since he happened to be born into the same family. Yep, that\u2019s not really enough of a reason. There\u2019s no point reconsidering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChieftain, would it be fine if I cut this old woman down?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat would not be good. This person is the current head of one of the branch families. If you kill her, it would become quite troublesome, wouldn\u2019t it? Well, if you kill Akatsuki it will still be troublesome, but\u2026 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI see. Then, I guess I\u2019ll stop for now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you might expect, I won\u2019t kill an old woman just for standing in my way, even if she did come with Stupid Bug to bother be before. Plus, there are many ways of getting around her anyway\u2026 Of course, if I really were in a hurry, I would just cut though (figuratively and literally speaking).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now then, let\u2019s see where is that stupid bug heading? I checked his position on the map so I could chase after him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026Ah, Chieftain, is this really okay?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIs what okay?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAkatsuki seems to be headed towards one of the Dragon\u2019s Gates, specifically, the Gate of the Sheep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat!? Is that true!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I looked at the map, I saw him flying towards it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat is that fool trying to do now!? Does he intend to leave the Hidden Area!? Anyway, I must chase after him. Move out of the way!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI won\u2019t move! I won\u2019t let you follow Akatsuki!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old woman stubbornly kept trying to protect Stupid Bug, but if you\u2019re going to go that far, then you should have raised him properly to begin with. Raising him to be selfish, and then trying to protect him after he causes problems is not exactly what you\u2019d call good parenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re in the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-punch-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGufuu\u2026..\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old woman Golden Dragon collapsed on the spot. Since it sounded like it would be annoying if I killed her, I used \u2018Estimation\u2019 to knock her out with a stomach punch. Now that she\u2019s down, a gap for us to pass though has opened, so I guess you could say it did the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaster who punched an old woman in the stomach without hesitation is scary\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you had ordered me, I would have eliminated her for you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaria-chan who says that without hesitation is scary\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, she was in the way. Anyway, let\u2019s go\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, wait for me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ignored Mio\u2019s comments and advanced down the hallway. As a side note, the remaining branch family members became frozen in shock at the sight of the old women being defeated, but it seemed like they weren\u2019t anyone important, so I just let them be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We gave chase to Stupid Bug, Sera and I riding on Blue, Maria on Mikazuki, and Sakura and Mio on Leaf. If you\u2019re wondering why Sera is riding on Blue, it\u2019s because \u2018Zero Gravity\u2019 can ignore her weight. Dora, the Chieftain, and several of his guards were flying alongside us by themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThough it would have been faster if I had used Nosferatu\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter going through all that and becoming your mount, if you are still going to use it while in the Hidden Area, I will cry!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, I was going to just fly after Stupid Bug myself, but Blue made a desperate expression, so I had no choice but to ride on her instead. Even though Nosferatu would have been faster\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re already being teased by Master\u2026 It would be best if you got used to it quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sera gave her some advice (?), while smiling wryly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEh, this is normal!? I\u2026 became the mount of an absurd person didn\u2019t I\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince Blue doesn\u2019t seem to like it, should I use Leaf as my mount instead? Ah, Mikazuki might also be good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t dislike it! That\u2019s why, use me, okay!? Definitely!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s kinda cute when she tries to cosy up to you like that, after you give her a cold shoulder. Oops, as I was busy admiring Blue, we arrived at the Gate of the Sheep before I noticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Boom! Crumble Crumble-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly we heard a loud noise and saw the Gate of the Sheep begin to fall apart, so when we got close to it, we stopped in mid-air to see what was going on. What the hell just happened?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: Akatsuki tried to exit through the Dragon\u2019s Gate, but the gatekeepers stopped him. Annoyed by this, Akatsuki used his \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019, firing his breath at the gatekeepers and the Dragon\u2019s Gate.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are the gatekeepers and the Dragon\u2019s Gate safe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: The gatekeepers\u2019 lives are not in danger. Akatsuki\u2019s breath attack was relatively weak. However, the Dragon\u2019s Gate took some damage, and has completely stopped functioning.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh\u2026\u2026 This is going to be troublesome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat!? What happened!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt looks like Akatsuki has destroyed the Dragon\u2019s Gate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat!!!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain asked a question and I was kind enough to politely answer it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd with that, he also took down a section of the barrier protecting the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area. There\u2019s no way to fix it, so what are you going to do now?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cH-how do you even know about that!? \u2026No, It\u2019s too late to ask that now. You\u2019re right, If the Dragon\u2019s Gate is destroyed, one of the 12 sections of the barrier corresponding to it will also stop working.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, the Dragon\u2019s Gates double as relays, each one supporting a section of the barrier. Of course, it\u2019s the dungeon core that actually generates the barrier, however, if the core were to deploy it directly, it would have had to be on a much smaller scale than it is now. Therefore, by setting up the 12 Dragon\u2019s Gates in a circle around the dungeon core and having them act as relays, it was possible to create a barrier over a much bigger area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, what happens if a Dragon\u2019s Gate gets destroyed? Naturally, the barrier sections supported by it would also stop functioning. It might not be visible to the naked eye, but looking at the map it\u2019s obvious that the barrier near the Gate of the Sheep has already gone down. That aside, for the Chieftain to be surprised to hear what I said, is what happens when a Dragon\u2019s Gate is broken, not public information in the Hidden Area?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: Only the Chieftain and other influential people of the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area know about it. As for the rest, they are simply bound by a rule saying \u201cDo not damage the Dragon\u2019s Gates\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, they just made a rule like that, without actually explaining what it\u2019s there for. Incidentally, I have known about it ever since I became the dungeon master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oops, Stupid Bug has just crawled out from under the rubble. Ah, it looks like he noticed us as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cY-you bastard, why are you here!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAkatsuki, you! What have you done!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain roared at Stupid Bug, but I could see no regret or remorse from that damn pest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShut up! They blocked my path! It was only right that I did it! My plan was to go through the Dragon\u2019s Gate and then destroy it from the other side anyway!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I see. So that\u2019s why he went for the Gate of the Sheep. If he were to escape out of the Hidden Area and then destroy the Dragon\u2019s Gate behind him, we wouldn\u2019t have been able to follow. And him choosing the gate that we entered through was also harassment on his part, by means of preventing us from returning to where we originally came from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, whatever. The humans won\u2019t be able to return home either way. Kuhuhu, it serves you right!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry. We have \u2018Portal\u2019, so we can go back whenever we want. Even so, that stupid bug doesn\u2019t seem to understand what he\u2019s done at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAkatsuki, what a foolish thing you have done\u2026 The barrier that protects the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area will disappear\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain said as if giving up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe barrier will disappear\u2026? What do you mean by that!? No, it doesn\u2019t matter. Wait, since you can\u2019t use this Dragon\u2019s Gate, you might use the other ones! Ah, and don\u2019t follow me, or I\u2019ll kill this guy!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saying so, he dragged one of the unconscious gatekeepers out of the rubble. In short, I guess you could call him a hostage. Also, calling this guy a stupid bug is too lenient. I will call him a damn maggot instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo you\u2019ve fallen that far, Akatsuki\u2026 And to think we once called you our brethren\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLeaf, your family seems pretty terrible, all things considered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t knooow, Blue-chan. I don\u2019t talk to them that ofteeen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looks like despite living in the Hidden Area, Leaf just wasn\u2019t much of a people person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter what you say! I have no use for a Hidden Area that disrespects me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With those words, the damn maggot flapped his wings to fly away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: An attack is incoming.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But at that very moment, Alta notified me of an attack coming our way. This is, \u2026a dragon\u2019s breath?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaria! Cast \u2018Barrier Magic\u2019 to protect everyone! Sakura, cast \u2018Aqua Curtain\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes!\u201d x2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Summon\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hurriedly instructed Maria and Sakura to defend us, before using the \u2018Summon\u2019 spell. A curtain of water and a barrier appeared around us, while the two gatekeepers were transferred to where I was standing. Between you and me, these two were also tamed by me, so I was initially planning to summon them, and then use that momentary confusion to kill the damn maggot before he escapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEh?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately after that, and just as the damn maggot raised his voice in surprise, the entire area we were in got engulfed by the incoming dragon\u2019s breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, neither Maria\u2019s \u2018Barrier Magic\u2019, nor Sakura\u2019s \u2018Aqua Curtain\u2019 covered the damn maggot with its area of effect, leaving him with nothing but a dying scream, once he took a direct hit from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was close. The two gatekeepers were almost burned to death by that. I can\u2019t let a dragon kill the dragon newts I had just tamed. Eh, what about us? I guess we might have taken some minor damage If it had hit us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA-agaga\u2026\u201d (ED: No idea if it\u2019s supposed to mean anything)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh? That damn maggot, who I thought was already dead, seemed to still be alive. But it looked like he was about to lose consciousness, as he flew unsteadily through the air\u2026 He\u2019s one tenacious pest, I\u2019ll give him that. Since he was going to be in the way, flying around like that, I sent a \u2018Flying Slash\u2019 his way and cut him in two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
