Chapter 61

Asher-san, upon reaching the moss-covered plaza, eases herself down towards the ground . Old Sleigstar, while still laying on the ground, greets us with his gaze . Ruiseine and Priscillchan, meanwhile, wave back and forth with lots of energy . Priscillchan in particular looks up at us with an incredibly lovely smile .

Nymia and I avert our gazes .

Priscillchan, no longer able to wait any longer, space jumps onto Asher-san’s back . “Nntto, nntto!”

She appears before my eyes so suddenly, I’m thrown into a fluster . “Uwaa…”

“Nntto, souvenir . ”

I knew it!

Anticipation brims from Priscillchan’s dazzling smile . Nymia and I, dripping with sweat, turn away .

Priscillchan, unable to understand the situation, gives a cute tilt of her head . “?”

Asher-san, most likely unaware of the carnage about to unfold between Priscillchan and us, touches down on the moss-covered plaza .

“Nntto, well?”

I hesitate to say anything .

“Nyaa . ” Nymia gives a troubled purr .

“Come, little lady . Over here . ” Asher-san gives a wry smile at our trouble as she beckons for Priscillchan .

“What, what?” Priscillchan springs towards Asher-san’s paw . Something is being held within the closed talons .

Nymia and I exchange glances at the same time before also hurrying over . Ruiseine too, albeit timidly, draws closer .

“We’re back . ”
“Yes, welcome back . That you have returned safely is most important . ”

We exchange greetings and together, head to Asher-san’s paw

Priscillchan cries out in pleasure as she pats her hands against Asher-san’s paw .

“Really, now . ” Asher-san looks at us and sighs in surprise as she opens her clenched paw .

“Uwaa, what is it?”
“Nntto, meat?”
“Nyan . ”

Within Asher-san’s palm is a firmly pressed lump of meat .

“It’s the meat of a flying dragon . ”
“Wh- Wh- what was thaaaat?”

While we step back in shock, Priscillchan’s eyes sparkle and shine as she gazes at the lump of meat .

“Meat, meat!”

Priscillchan seems to be delighted . What a relief…

Meat of a flying dragon, as in that flying dragon that appeared while we weren’t in the ravine? Didn’t she only threaten it? Actually, are members of dragon tribe allowed to harvest dragon meat? Is this okay?

“At any rate, this is for all of you . I had a feeling you forgot to get a souvenir . Consider this my gratitude . ”
“Th- Thank you very much . ”

We properly reflect on our actions and express our gratitude . Still, that meat…

“It’s like when a bird attacks another bird . There’s no difference . ”
“I- I see . ”

I force a smile as I comprehend what she means . Ruiseine, who stands beside me, is completely lost by the situation . She tilts her head as she watches my exchange with Asher-san .

“Eetto, I’ll explain later, okay?”
“Yes, I request that you do . ”

Ruiseine smiles .

As Priscillchan prances around saying, “Meat, meat!” Nymia leaps onto her head .

Old Sleigstar speaks as he gently watches over us . “Fumu, for preparing meat, Mistral is essential . ”

“My, my, well, well, if it is about meat, then I too am capable of preparing it . ”
“Even if thou art able to prepare the meat, there is neither utensils nor seasonings . ”
“Ah, that’s true, isn’t it?”

Ruiseine gives a wry smile .

“This one shall send for her . It’ll be just a moment . ”

Old Sleigstar closes his eyes with those words . Is he’s communicating with Mistral through some method or another? Being able to communicate with someone so far away, as expected, Old Sleigstar is incredible .

“Incidentally,” I turn around to face Asher-san . “What happened to the flying dragon? It didn’t seem like anything was there . ”

From the sky, that ravine was a world of ash . Within it, I could only see Asher-san and the dragon tribesmen .

“That would be because I turned it into ash with one blow . You must have overlooked it as part of the scenery . Once I got enough meat, I turned the rest into ash to keep other annoyances from taking it . ”

I see, so it was like that . I nod my head .

Old Sleigstar opens his eyes and speaks . “Fumu, Mistral shall return by dusk . In the meantime, play and make space in your stomachs . ”

Priscillchan is delighted . “Nntto, will play to make space in my stomach, will eat a lot . ”

Just how much of a glutton are you? We all smile at Priscillchan’s spirit .

Well then, what should we do? At my worry, Priscillchan suggests tag .

Tag… Priscillchan sure likes to play tag . I don’t mind playing, but what about Ruiseine? Playing tag with Priscillchan goes beyond what the average person can handle . Priscillchan can space jump while the spirits can vanish . I can’t do consecutive space jumps, but I can do them too . As for Nymia, she escapes to the sky whenever she feels someone approach her . Ruiseine won’t be able to escape or chase anyone . This will be tough for her .

Ruiseine, however, is indifferent to my concerns . She too is completely motivated .

“Ruiseine, is everything okay?”
“My, my, well, well, what are you so worried about?”

Ruiseine is brimming with confidence . She should have seen tag being played this morning and should know the strangeness of Priscillchan’s playing . Despite that, she’s confident .

“Fufufu, as a war priestess, I am interested in this . ”

Ruiseine seems to be taking this as a way to test out potential solutions against opponents who can space jump . If she is willing, then I shouldn’t hesitate either .

Priscillchan is delighted at everyone’s willingness and calls out her wind and earth spirits . Then, with the wind spirit as the oni, our game starts .

 

“Zhee, zhee…” I’m panting, collapsed atop of the moss carpet .

If I look at the results, wasn’t I the oni the longest? How did that happen?

I reflect on the game as I catch my breath . I miscalculated on Ruiseine’s tactics . She absolutely developed a method for dealing with space jump . Furthermore, she supplemented it .

She supplemented it with law .

Ruiseine cleverly utilized law to do things like escape and obstruct . Whenever she escaped, she used a law to utilize a horizontal high speed movement known as star passage . That false yuusha used this law . Furthermore, even if I was able to close in on her with a space jump, she’d avoid me with trained defensive reflexes .

Her binding law was her most troublesome response . She avoided aiming it at me as much as possible . Instead, she flung it at everyone but the oni . Naturally, as the oni, I targeted anyone unable to move . As such, everyone who wasn’t the oni, had to remain vigilant against Ruiseine’s law .

As a result, being unable to continuously use space jump and not being able to find a way to deal with Ruiseine’s tactics, I ended up becoming the oni the most .

Old Sleigstar laughs at me . “Thou still hast a long way to go before thy can toy with thine’s bride, kukuku .

Asher-san sighs as she says, “My, how shameful . ”

“Uuugh, everyone is ganging up on me . ”
“My, my, well, well, isn’t that just everyone expressing their love?”

Ruiseine comes up to me and gives me some water .

“Then, Ruiseine who kept on targeting me, must love me too . ” I blush upon speaking those words .

“I don’t believe it will work if you get embarrassed saying that . ”

I turn even redder at Ruiseine’s teasing .

“Nntto, it’s onii-chan’s loss . ”
“Guu, how frustrating . ”
“Therefore, no meat . ”
“Eeeh, we never agreed to something like that!”

I panic at Priscillchan’s proclamation . This is flying dragon meat! I absolutely want to eat some!

Everyone in the plaza laughs at my petitioning to a little girl to let me eat meat .

“At any rate, space jumping sure is incredible . ”

Ruiseine strokes Priscillchan’s head as she praises her . Priscillchan takes delight at the praise .

“Nntto, Ruiseine learn too . ”
“Eh!?”

Priscillchan hugs Ruiseine and vanishes . I look around searching for the two of them while wondering, “Where’d they go?”

“Uu, uuugh . ”

There!

Priscillchan and Ruiseine have hopped up somewhere onto Old Sleigstar’s head .

“Awawaa . ”

I make a commotion in my fluster . Regardless of how it’s taken, they’re still on top of Old Sleigstar’s head . No matter of how close we are with him and how kind he is to us, he’s still a legendary dragon who watches over the Dragon’s Forest . Thinking about what could happen if we go too far is scary . And now, both Priscillchan and Ruiseine are on the head of that old, legendary dragon!

“Ru- Ruiseine, are you okay!?”

She absolutely can’t throw up .

Ruiseine covers her mouth and fights her nausea .

Yeah, that does happen .  Space jumping gives terrible nausea and dizziness to people who aren’t used to it . As for me, I threw up three times before getting used to it . But throwing up on Old Sleigstar’s head would be a disaster .

“Hey, Priscilla! I’ve already told you not to suddenly space jump people who aren’t used to it!”

At that strict scolding, we all look towards the entrance of the ancient forest .

“Nntto, welcome baack . ” Priscillchan doesn’t pay Mistral’s anger any attention . Instead, she waves her hand back at her return .

“I have meat . ” Priscillchan ditches the deathly ill Ruiseine who is right before her eyes and leaps into Mistral’s chest .

Mistral catches her without any effort . Then in one strike, lightly rams a fist into her head .

“Uugh . ”
“Seriously, you… . ”

Mistral gives a wry smile at Priscillchan’s, “do as I please,” attitude .

I head towards Old Sleigstar, “Eetto…”

“This one is unfettered . Thou’s providing of assistance would be for the best . ”

Upon acquiring Old Sleigstar’s approval, I space jump close to Ruiseine . I then rub her back while asking, “Are you okay?”

Ruiseine, despite being covered in cold sweat, give me a smile . “Ye- Yes, somehow or another . ”

“Priscilla, as punishment, you won’t receive any meat . ”
“Eeeeh! No, no!”

Down below, Priscillchan can be seen finally reflect on herself upon being told she won’t be allowed to eat any meat .

Actually, this is my first time riding on top of Old Sleigstar . Since he’s laying down, this isn’t as high as Asher-san’s back, but the moss-covered plaza still looks like a completely different world from up here .

Old Sleigstar raises his head as he says, “This one has not been ridden since the Amado and Jortenitos twins . ”

In one go, my field of view is much higher .

“Ah, unfair!”

Priscillchan, while being held by Mistral, leaps up to where Ruiseine and I are .

Mistral, seeing Priscillchan not reflecting at all, makes a troubled expression . “Seriously, you . ”

Priscillchan cries out, “kya kya,” as she enjoys herself from atop of Old Sleigstar’s head . I, along with Mistral and Ruiseine, can only make a wry smiles as we enjoy the scenery .

“Welcome back . ”
“Yeah, I’m back . Although I’m saying that, I have to immediately return again tomorrow morning . ”
“Looks like you’re being kept busy . ”
“Quite, I have various things to attend to . ”

Incidentally, Nymia watches over us from atop of Asher-san’s head .
