I took the large magic stone Red Dragon gave me from out of the item bag and showed it to the water dragon.
“Right, right, that’s it. That Red Dragon boy gave it to you, correct?”
“Yes. Should I return it?”
“Oh no, it’s fine, it’s fine. It’s something, like, a dragon’s mark, so don’t lose it, ‘kay?”
Currently, this matter has a really troublesome scent to it.
Like I thought, I shouldn’t have taken this thing from the red dragon.
It’s to the point that I want to throw it away right here if I could.
You can’t give away just anything.
Expensive things are never really free, after all.
“Do you have any business here?” (Naoki)
“Like, not business, but I’m way troubled; won’t you save me?”
This gal-like Water Dragon-chan looks to be over 600 years old.
I thought that she doesn’t feel like she’s over 500 years old, but looks like it’s just because she uses words young people use.
When I didn’t properly call her “Water Dragon-chan”, she said, “Imma chomp you up!” so I’ll definitely call her Water Dragon-chan.
“What should we do to save you? For us, our boat’s been broken to the point where we need saving, though.”
“Aa! But, like, this boat was broken from the beginning, ya? I was, like, anyone home, so I peeked, then my head got stuck and all. But, like, isn’t this boat, like, small? Isn’t it, like, the size of a red bean? Like, a red bean sized boat, isn’t that screwy?”
I don’t really get it, but anyway, I can tell she’s trying to say that it’s not her fault that the boat is broken.
“Anyway, I’ll listen to what you have to say, but while I’m fixing that red bean sized boat, ‘kay?”
“OK!”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Clangclangclangclang-!
Felling trees, I immediately processed them.
Normally I should dry them, but right now it doesn’t matter as long as they’ll cover the hole that was opened up in the boat.
Ayl cut the trees, Velsa stripped them of their branches, and I, using a sword bestowed with a wind magic magic-circle in place of a chainsaw, cut the trees into boards.
Water Dragon-chan was at the water’s edge, slapping her fins against the water’s surface, and beginning to tell her story.
“Recently, it’s like, you know, I got a boyfriend. But, like, getting your first boyfriend after 600 years, isn’t that, like, way sad? I’m like, can I even still lay eggs!?”
So dragons lay eggs afterall, huh?
“Ah, no, like, that’s not what I wanted to talk about; it’s like recently, you know, he’s like, kinda going to those shops that have girls. Isn’t that, like, way shady?”
Exactly what is a ‘shop that has girls’ that a dragon goes to?
And like, how would I know anything about dragon love stories!?
What’s with this story, the problem she has isn’t being made clear at all -!
“Sorry, but I kind of have no idea what you’re talking about!”
“E? For reals!? You don’t get it!?”
“In the first place, what do you mean, a shop that a dragon goes to? Exactly what kind of sacred place would that be?”
“Ain’t no way it’s a sacred place!”
“Then, how does he enter the shop?”
“Humanization magic, duh! You know! Like, figure it out!”
I don’t, like, know! I’m not a dragon!
I swallowed my words and listen to her story.
“My boyfriend’s, like, way cool. Like, to where you think the dragonnewt girls will all totes fall for him. Like, he’d just be like, ‘Wanna join my family,’ and they’d, like, go for it.”
I kind of get most of the story, but why is she looking to me for help?
“And? What do you need me to save you from?”
“Well it’s, like, kinda about extermination from what I hear about my boyfriend. Feel like exterminating some dragonnewt girls a little?”
Dragonnewts are lizard beastmen, right?
“Nope, impossible.”
“E? Why?”
“In the first place, is your boyfriend Red Dragon?”
“Eh? How’d you catch on?”
“You just said so.”
“Uwa-, not fair! You’re so not fair! No way~. No, like, he was way cute, like, when we first met he gave me wyvern meat as a present, and it was then, like, stuff like, yeah, so he stole my heart… or like, I ‘lost’ it…”
Don’t want to hear it! Just why do I have to hear about a dragon’s sex life!?
And, just what are you doing, Red Dragon!?
You just left the wyvern cave recently.
Just when I thought you got out of being a shut-in, you immediately put your hands on someone?
And then, going to stores that have human girls, just what are you doing?
I’m getting more and more pissed off.
“I get it. I can’t exterminate anyone, but I can give Red Dragon a punch!”
“O-, you feeling up for it?”
“I feel bad, but when we’re done with the repairs, will you pull our boat to the place the store is?”
“OK!”
And that’s that.
The boat repairs continued at a fast pace, but in the end, even though we stopped up the hole, night had fallen.
We didn’t have nails for the boards, so we stuck them on using the magic-circle used for the sticky traps.
As long as it can hold out for a day we can reach a port town and have a shipwright repair it.
We have money, and money talks best.
We were going to stay over on the beach today, but Water Dragon-chan was all, “Hurry up! Come one!” put the boat on her back, and started swimming.
When I looked back, from the dark, bun-shaped island came the sounds of gigantic monsters walking around and the cries of mysterious birds.
Were they tired from the repairs? Ayl and Velsa covered themselves with furs and fell completely asleep.
I was a bit bitter that they weren’t doing girl=talk with Water Dragon-chan.
“How long until we reach the town Red Dragon’s in?”
“Well, like, by morning, right?”
“You’re intending to swim it in one night? Won’t you tire yourself out?”
“Haa? I’m, like, a dragon, you know-! No way I’ll get tired, right!?”
“A, sorry… um, can I sleep?”
“No way-! Like, I was thinking, but it’s totally because Black Dragon-san rejected me that I, like, got freaked at love, so like…”
After that, Water Dragon-chan told me her history of love (all of them one-sided), but I was too sleepy so I don’t remember it.
“Hey, you listening?”
“Nope.”
“And so like… huh? Where was I?”
While I was swaying on Water Dragon-chan’s back, the night grew long.
I took the large magic stone Red Dragon gave me from out of the item bag and showed it to the water dragon.
“Right, right, that’s it. That Red Dragon boy gave it to you, correct?”
