Akuyaku Reijou ni Nanka Narimasen - Chapter 524
🕑 Added 2024-09-13 06:13:42 +0000 UTCThere are things you won't understand even if you live a long life.
Certain Dragon’s Point of View
I am Rulud, the elder brother of Rulan, a fellow adult Crystal Dragon. We came to visit a human hot springs, only to find ourselves caught up in a Stampede. My friend and Rulan’s benefactor, Rosarin, asked us to help, so my companions and I have been defeating monsters non-stop. Suddenly, an armed group of beastmen appeared.
"Crystal Dragons! We appreciate your assistance! Everyone, charge!!"
(Uwooooo!!)
With a shout from a golden beastwoman, the beastmen charged forward. Oh, they’re quite capable. I have to be careful not to crush them by accident.
"Calling upon the heavens, the earth, and the people! I am called to defeat the evil fools! The Warrior of Justice☆Kanattaman!!"
What was that?
A man in a tight red outfit was striking a pose. My companions and I were left dumbfounded. No matter how long you live, there are always things you don’t understand. Who wears such a skin-tight outfit? Uh… a pervert! Definitely a pervert!
"Take thiiiis!!"
The pervert was strong. With one punch, he sent several monsters flying. But his movements were strange. There were unnecessary moves that made him seem weak, but somehow, he was strong. My companions kept glancing at the pervert, curious.
"Ah, oh no!"
The pervert turned back into an ordinary human.
"I’m gonna die! I’m really gonna dieeee!!"
The monsters chased after him as he fled. Without his earlier speed, and now unarmed, he really might die. Just as I was about to help, a black figure rescued the pervert.
"Living in the shadows is my fate… I bring justice to evil! Wolfanea Shadow!!"
Another pervert.
But this one wasn’t as flashy. His outfit wasn’t as tight either.
"Jasper-dono! Thank you for saving my husband!!"
The golden beastwoman spoke to the black pervert.
"I am not Jasper! I am Wolfanea Shadow!"
The black pervert denied it. Is he hiding his name? Does he not want to be known as a pervert?
"That’s right, Ojou…I mean, Okusama!! Jasper-sama is supposed to be dead, so you have to call him Jash-sama!"
A beastman, who was being pestered by the golden beastwoman’s children, shouted.
"As I told you, I am Wolfanea Shadow!!"
"And why did you bring my kids, Andre?!"
"Be-Because they threatened to chop me up if I didn’t take them! What kind of education are you giving them!?"
What are they threatening to chop off? These kids are terrifying.
"I’m sorry! You lot, stop bullying Andre!!"
"Ha, ha, ha, my kids sure are lively!"
It’s probably not the wife’s fault that the kids turned out like this. You need to discipline them properly. Raising them well is important.
So those kids are the golden beastwoman’s and the pervert’s children.
"No!"
"Andre takes Papa away for work, bad man!"
"That’s why we bully him!"
"I’m hungry!"
Chaos.
"… Let’s focus on taking down the monsters first, shall we?"
At my words, the battle resumed. The pervert had taken a potion to restore his magic.
"Transform! Juaaa!"
The pervert turned silver. I wonder how many forms he has. I’m curious.
"Kanatroman, huh… That only lasts three minutes, right?"
"Jua!"
He nodded. Only three minutes? What’s that about? My companions were intrigued as well. This guy is fascinating.
About three minutes later, a beeping started coming from his chest.
"Juaaa! Heaa!!"
"I understand! Everyone, Kanatroman is about to unleash a wide-range attack!! Fall back!!"
How does the black pervert understand what Kanatroman is saying??
※ The effect is thanks to an accessory that nullifies all abnormal conditions. Apparently, Kanatroman’s inability to speak is treated as a status ailment.
"Juaaaa!"
Kanatroman(?) fired something from his arm. The enemies started dissolving one after another. What a terrifying attack! It looks gruesome too!!
(Ding-dong-ding-dong♪ The Acid Beam is acidic. It may release toxic gases, so please refrain from using it alongside other chemicals.)
"I wouldn’t use other chemicals in the first place!"
The pervert muttered something incomprehensible, then reverted to a weak-looking human again. However, he seemed clever enough, as he quickly withdrew and drank something before raising a pen-like device. He did this earlier too.
"Transform!!"
(Congratulations! It's a jackpot!!)
"Huh!?"
The pervert transformed into a great mage-like figure. Well, that’s a normal outfit, nothing weird about it.
"Rosarin-chan! Sorry to bother you while you’re busy, but what’s this ‘jackpot’!? I’ve never seen it before!"
The once-weak-looking pervert was now contacting Rosarin via a magic tool. Dragons have good hearing, so I could hear Rosarin’s voice perfectly.
"Jackpot? Ah, it means your magic power and strength are multiplied by ten. Congratulations. Just use some random magic."
"O-oh… Fireballllll?! Oh no! Everyone, take cover!!"
He panicked at the sight of the enormous fireball he had just conjured. This human is hilarious.
"This is bad! It’s super dangerous around here!"
"Just adjust it properly. Don’t think, feel. Worst case, just hit things with the staff—it’s strong enough."
The funny human quickly decided to start hitting things. When he whacked an ogre with his staff, it punched a hole right through it.
"Splatterrr!! No good! Even hitting things is too much!!"
He was making a huge fuss over something he did himself. I casually swatted away a nearby monster with my tail to prevent him from getting killed.
"Rosarin-chan! Magic is dangerous, and physical attacks are brutal!! I can’t use either!"
"You’re being a bit spoiled."
"I’m not being spoiled! It feels like I’m losing something important as a human, no matter which one I choose!!"
"Then how about using support magic?"
"I’ve never done that before."
"It’s fine, just try something like Oomphle, Acceleratle, or Buff*. Anything random will work."
(*Dragon Quest spells.)
"That’s so careless… Well, here goes… Acceleratle."
Suddenly, all the beastmen became incredibly fast. Wait, even I became faster. But despite the increased speed, I could keep up just fine. This magic is amazing.
"This is too much! Or… is it? We’re not bumping into each other, so maybe it’s fine…?"
The former pervert, now flustered, was truly entertaining. Just as I was feeling a bit amused, one of my companions shouted in alarm.
"Rulud, a boss monster had appeared! It’s something I have never seen before! Be careful!!"
Indeed, it was an unfamiliar creature. My dragon breath didn’t affect it. Is it a ghost-type? No, our breath should work even on ghosts. What is this thing?
It looked like a grotesque amalgamation of several monsters forcibly stuck together. It had a physical form, as I could knock it away with my tail, but it didn’t seem to take any damage.
"Haaa!"
"Giiiiii!!?"
Oh, the golden lioness beastwoman’s sword seems to work. But the other beastmen’s swords had no effect. That sword… I sense some strange magic from it.
"Kanata! Strengthen me!"
"Got it! Bard!!"
And the woman started growing bigger.
"My Shushu!? My Shushuuuu!!"
Wait, upon closer inspection, she didn’t grow bigger.
"Why did she get all muscle-bound!?"
Yes, the golden lioness beastwoman had become incredibly muscular. Kanata—the funny man—was lamenting what he’d done. My companions were shaking with laughter as they cleared out the lesser monsters. That guy is too funny.
"Mother, how beautiful."
"Mom, strong!"
"Go get ‘em, Mama!"
"I’m hungry."
The kids seemed to love it. Though one of them seemed unusually laid-back.
Ah, she just sliced the boss monster clean in half. Kanata’s wife is strong.
"Nooo!! This isn’t right! Rosarin-chan, don’t you have a spell to reduce attack power!? My Shushu, my Shushuuuu is all muscle-bound!!"
"Huh? Muscle-bound? Umm… umm… I can’t think of anything… Insulatle?"
"That only softens breath attacks and stuff!"
"Buff…"
"How’s raising her defense going to help!?"
"I was thinking, like, fighting fire with fire…"
"That only makes things worse!"
"We’re on the same page then, aren’t we?"
"I’m seriously struggling here, stop messing with me!!"
"Bufufu."
"Guhyuu."
At last, my companions couldn’t hold back their laughter any longer. Rosarin and Kanata are just too funny.
"… Wouldn’t it be best to wait for the effect to wear off?"
"That’s it!"
"That’s it!"
Apparently, the golden beastwoman stayed muscle-bound until the next day. As a thank you for helping with the hunt, we received some chocolate-like sweets.
Chocolate became popular among us Crystal Dragons, and we became great friends with Kanata and his group.
Occasionally, we’d cause a big commotion when we accidentally went out in dragon form to buy chocolates, only to be scolded by Kanata. But I think Kanata is the only person in the world who would dare challenge a dragon with a paper weapon. That weapon makes a loud noise, but it doesn’t hurt at all.
We followed Rosarin’s lead and gained yet another entertaining human friend. Human lives are short, but they are truly fascinating. I want to watch over them as a good friend until the end of their days.
