Chapter 80: Episode 20 Finding the Dragon's Daughter Part 2
Due to the unprecedented arrival of someone else inside the lair of the dragon, my fear suddenly welled up in my heart not because I am concerned with the dragon's daughter but due to the reason that the curse that the deceased dragon put in me is connected to his daughter. Although he stated that it works when I harm his daughter, he did not say anything about other people or monsters hurting her. So in case, she got hurt due to a reason I am not the cause, it might be possible that I will be the one getting the wrath and I don't want that to happen to me.
I run inside the lair while Maple followed suit, already unsheathing one of her daggers.
"Kazuma, we can't be sure who is the enemy this time so we should check it out first and determine whether they are dangerous people or not. We can't attack innocent people," Maple whispered.
"Alright," I nodded in response. If she didn't give me that advice, I might have already charged in and cross fist with each other.
As we observe the situation, I noticed that the people in there are the former allies of Maple. In my mind, I keep on telling myself that Maple is an ally but there is the half part of myself is still wary if Maple, she might backstab me instead of helping me. I am quite in a conflict but I didn't let it reflect in my face. I just listened to the conversation of the girls and the reaction of Maple secretly.
"This girl is a rare half-dragon and half-human! If we can bring her alive back on Earth and auction her to the black market underground, we would be rich! With so many magicians willing to buy and some people willing to pay a hefty amount to get her as a pet, we would not worry about our needs anymore and we can buy all the materials we need to get our magic stronger!" One of the girls who has short blonde hair and big earrings dangling on her earlobe said.
"Way to go boss. So, how should we bring her without the cat noticing?"
"We have a pet container in my space inventory, if we put her inside the container, we won't have problems."
Just hearing it made me want to rush forward and deal with them but I held all of my anger. Although she is not my acquaintance yet, just hearing the slavery topic made me grit my teeth. However, I decided to strike at the right time and now is not yet good.
I keep on observing them and Maple too. I noticed Maple that she is also gritting her teeth. She seemed so pissed and grips her dagger tightly and she seemed...ready to strike?
When the group of girls finally carry a body, I immediately recognized it as the daughter of the dragon which is based on the memory implanted by the dragon itself. I know she is still alive because the group said they need her alive but from what I can see, she is unconscious. I am still not trying to strike but I was stunned when I saw Maple strike forward instead.
She moved so fast I was startled by it and she disappeared from my sight before she reappeared before the girls. Before the girl carrying the dragon girl can react, a dagger buried itself to her throat and she coughed out blood before she collapsed and fell to the ground. I quickly dash out and catches the unconscious dragon girl. Of course, the woman that they call boss earlier intercepted.
"Who the f*ck are you?!" she asked as she punched straight to me in which I managed to barely dodge.
"That is none of your business!" and quickly embraced the dragon girl in my arms before rolling away.
The others were also startled but they quickly recovered and fired magic to me and Maple in which the latter easily deflected by her dagger. As for me, I had to dodge and hide in rocks to avoid the attacks. I quickly summoned Yuri to guard the dragon girl and I also summoned Yuto to help me in the battle.
"Yuto, you are an incubus, right? You can use your powers to charm girls?"
"Yes, master!" Yuto nodded and opened his eyes which suddenly revealed to be color yellow from his usual color blue eyes.
Some of the girls were quickly infatuated from the looks of my familiar but the boss was somehow, immune.
"Master! That "woman" is not a woman! That f*cking trap! You dare make yourself a girl then turns out you are a f*cking guy!" Yuto shouted as he almost puke out. I just remembered that Yuto hates to use his powers against guys because he thinks it was gay.
Hearing this, Maple quickly got angry and brandish her weapons at once.
"M-maple?! What are you doing?! We are comrades remember!? Why are you attacking me?!" the boss just noticed that it was Maple attacking.
"Too late. I have expected you to be a woman, it turns out you are just a f*cking illusion user! And to think we took a bath together naked in the stream! I will make sure you die a horrible death!"
"Easy! Are you saying you believe that guy and that demon over there than your comrades?!" she reasoned as she keeps on defending her attacks.
"Nonsense. You call me a comrade when you left me all into doom after I was captured? And to think I waited for a few days for a rescue! But no one came! Who would have thought those people I thought to be my comrades were all the enemies?!" Maple quickly slashed out on the boss and she managed to slice a little bit of "her" face. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it was going to bleed, instead, it was like a cloth cut by a sharp object.
Maple was stunned and even I did not expect that scenario to happen. Then, "she?" started laughing.
"Ha... to think my guise would be ruined... hahaha, I almost fooled everyone, and I thought I will be able to get a few magician slaves to use. And to think my brainwashed servants that are strong in the past would regress this much. I guess I have to remove my guise right now," "she?" said and flick "her?" fingers. All of a sudden, the woman guise on the person suddenly appeared as a male this time, and he looks like those guys with long hair, blonde and always the scums in novels and movies.
