Manowa

Chapter 90: Ending the Adventure

Nya, nyanyanya

Is it delicious, Yuuko-nee?

Nya!!

Jinrai asked while stroking Yuuko-nee's body, and Yuuko-nee was in a good mood as she replied while eating the dragon's meat. Black Rock Dragon Gieve was a far superior kind of monster, so his meat became the greatest feast for Yuuko-nee; from eating it her wounds recovered, her tail was bifurcated, and Yuuko-nee also acquired the flame attribute. And Jinrai, whose life was saved by Yuuko-nee, acquired the cat attribute. Another cat lover was born here.

To the side Mefirus was also eating the dragon's meat.

This is raw meat. Is this from beast instincts? Nunu, why does it have a nostalgic taste.

Although he said that it seemed his beak didn't stop. While Louise stroked Mefirus' back she saidslowly, ojii-chan.

Then Kazane and Yumika and the rest dismantled Gieve and put it in the Mysterious Warehouse.

Selling it would be okay, but making Dragon Burial Soil for Muscle Clay would also be good.

It was a Tatsuyoshi-kun mass-production plan.

Even so, I never thought the Childstone would take to Sieg.

Sieg here was Prince Sieg. The Heroic Spirit was already gone because the time limit had passed.

Certainly.

Yumika also laughedahahahaha.

I'm sorry

Sieg was truly sorry as he apologized.

Ara, there's no need for that.No no, I'm not blaming you.

Tiara and Yumika said while shaking their heads.

After the battle with the Black Rock Dragon its Childstone was extracted, and for some reason it responded to Sieg.I wasn't able to play a very active roleSieg thought, but according to Mefirus a Childstone ... rather summoned beings in general strongly tended to become subordinates of royalty.

The Ruby Griffon is a good example. Royalty are people but are also a governing symbol of a country. They are a personification of the masses' collective will. Naturally, their souls rank highly. Or maybe there is a desire after being reincarnated to live as a guardian beast loved by everybody.

After Mefirus' remark Kazane saidI seeand nodded. From the battle with Gieve her level rose by two and she learned the skillDragonization.She activated the skill.

Oh, this is amazing.

Kazane transformed into a 5 meter dragon with beautiful blue scales and roared Guoooooo.

Jinrai saida newcomerand set up with intent to kill, which made Kazane a little scared, but Yumika persuaded him to stop.

(Mm, does this mean my own body was not transformed into a dragon?)

Kazane moved around with the dragon body to ascertain its performance. She thoughtoh nosince she expected that she would be naked if she returned to normal and was wondering what to do, but this body was a magical body with Kazane as its core. The situation was similar to when Tiara became the core of the Ruby Griffon.

It's amazing.

Uwa

Right now Tiara and Sieg were riding her and she was swimming through the sky. This was because flight was done by the dragons' distinctive wind element magic. The wings themselves seemed to be used for attitude control.

Her breath attack was ice element. Based on herself there was no reason for it to be that element so Kazane didn't know why it was that way, but she thought that the change in attribute when she transformed into a dragon wasn't bad, considering her own spells were flame-focused. She was in a sinful mood as she broke into a smile. Also, since her form was a dragon it was a truly evil smile, so Tiara and Sieg on top of her were considerably nervous when they saw it.

Although this dragon form consumed about half of her Magic Power for the initial transformation it didn't require much Magic Power to maintain, so it seemed possible to stay transformed for a long time if she didn't fight or use her breath. With that her investigation was concluded, and Kazane dispelled the Dragonization and returned to normal.

The dragon form turned into light and vanished, and Kazane's body descended to the ground.

Mu, you can turn back properly.

That's natural.

Kazane smiled when she replied to Jinrai's words.

So we've defeated the dragon, but what's next, Leader?

Louise asked. The material removal from the dragon's remains had already been completed. They had finished what they had to do here. Then, Kazane looked over her companions

Well, shall we go home?

She said. Everyone nodded and started preparations for the return.

Rock Hold Cave Entrance

You encountered a Monster House?

The administrator said in surprise when he heard the story from Kazane's returning party.

Yeah. I seriously thought I would die.

You did well to return alive. You were also able to run away without losing anyone.

The officer saw with a surprised face, but with a sullen face Jinrai corrected him.

No, we couldn't run away, so we annihilated it.

Ah, annihilation is it?

Yeah. I seriously thought I would die.

Is that so.

The officer replied again with a speechless face.

And the administrator continued to be at a loss for words when Kazane and the others vented about the next truth. Of course, it was the subjugation of the Black Rock Dragon Gieve.

The administrator made an especiallyno wayface, but Sieg had the Childstone and Kazane also showed him the dragon materials, so this time he collapsed. However, he immediately recovered and started contacting all quarters with furious speed.

And the first to arrive from the people the administrator called out to was a material custodian. It was a man who was dispatched by the adventurer's guild to immediately secure and preserve the material once the dragon was subjugated, but it seemed they never thought his turn would come so early.

They also never considered that Kazane and the others had returned with all the materials and were doubly surprised. A Mysterious Warehouse was not the sort of thing an ordinary adventurer would have.

From the exchange with the material custodian Kazane decided to keep the dragon bones and some other materials and sell the rest at a suitable price. She also requested that they handle the processing of the Dragon Burial Soil. She furthermore bartered with some dragon meat to make arrangements for them to handle the delivery of certain items to the workshop in Winlard.

That night a celebratory festival for the dragon subjugation was held in the marketplace in front of Rock Hold Cave. It seemed there was a custom from long ago of celebrating when a Childstone holder with a high degree of difficulty was killed, so Jinrai and Louise took it as a matter of course, but Kazane and Yumika couldn't hide their surprise when the festivities suddenly occurred.

I never thought you would defeat it with one battle. Honestly, I was surprised.

Jinrai was greeted by Zack, who he had met in the 31st layer.

Fumu. We were lucky, I didn't think the encounter would go as well as it did. I also didn't think I would do such a thing at my age.

I mean, I didn't notice in the dungeon, but you've obviously rejuvenated. What the heck did you do?

It seemed it was clear to those who knew him. Jinrai said it was a secret with a smile. Right now this old man was in a very good mood.

Kazane-san, good day. Congratulations on this occasion!

Congratulations!

They were the adventurers who had tried to steal the cottage.

They were making a courtesy call after they had heard rumors about the Ogre Killing Princess they had learned to fear. And ...

Prince Sieg, congratulations on this occasion.

Congratulations!

Yes. Thank you.

Sieg was there as Prince Sieg Waiti Shubaina of the Minshiana Kingdom.

Yeah yeah. Sieg, more smiles, smile.

Ye, yes. That's right.

This occurrence was a consequence of Sieg's position becoming publicly clear. Kazane already got in touch with Yuuko-nee by email and got acceptance ... rather, it was emphasized that she was to actively do so. The achievementthe Prince of Minshiana subjugated a dragonand the corresponding prestige was being attached to Sieg, which was also necessary for Minshiana's national interests.

With Sieg's social status revealed Kazane and the other companions treated him the same way, but the different sense of distance from the other adventurers, guild staff, and merchants made him feel a little lonely. Well, if Sieg thought about it for a moment he would recognize that the sense of distance from the surroundings was the same when he was part of Kazane's group, so the current feeling of isolation was all in his head.

And it was also conveyed by Kazane and the others that they were able to defeat the dragon because of the power of Minshiana's treasuredWhite Sword.This was also Yuuko-nee's wish.

From the start the aim of Yuuko-nee's request wasSieg's achievementandthe revival of the influence of the White Swordwhich had been buried in darkness by lack of wielders over several generations. Yuuko-nee also anticipated that Kazane and the others would not be able to defeat the dragon without the Heroic Spirit Sieg, so since Kazane probably wouldn't want the existence of the Heroic Spirit Sieg to become public knowledge she suggested substituting the White Sword as the reason. Even if Sieg did not participate in the dragon extermination Kazane could use the White Sword instead, and Sieg being a member of the dragon expedition was also true. If there was an explanation that hid the existence of the Heroic Spirit Sieg, however it played out would make Yuuko-nee's wish come true. Dirty Yuuko-nee, while it was dirty of Yuuko-nee, since the way Kazane accomplished things made it all true it seemed everything turned out all right in the end. However, all the adventurers that knew the true ability of Kazane and the others did not think that it was only due to the power of the White Sword. Or more precisely, they still thought she had kicked it to death..and while that was true, everybody was overestimating her in the way it happened and leaving out the many ways she was assisted.

With all of that it was like he was hogging the entire achievement, so Sieg had an apologetic expression. However, Kazane and the others understood that it was not done by their own power, but  that the achievement mostly belonged to the Heroic Spirit Sieg. Therefore the explanation that another great power did the work was correct, so they didn't particularly mind the current state of affairs.

So Sieg had an apologetic expression, but after everyone asked him to summon the Childstone dragon for the first time the gloomy feeling was completely blown away.

Sieg summoned a standard-sized dragon of around 5 meters, and its pure white appearance was truly reminiscent of Minshiana's treasured sword. Its element was wind, a white dragon with gentle eyes that very much resembled Sieg's.

Incidentally, the appearance of the white dragon dancing in the sky with Kazane, who had become a blue dragon withDragonization,was a whimsical sight that was handed down among minstrels for a long time to come. The detail that Kazane was extremely drunk and acting recklessly and was only stopped by receiving a blow from the white dragon was not written down for later history. It was unnecessary.

And that white dragon received the nameKarzafrom Kazane. [TL: I wasn't sure how to make this clear with his name since double aa is kinda weird, but it's which is just the first two syllables of Kazane's name with the first one drawn out. Kazane's naming sense comes up again so I wanted to make it clear here.]

The festival concluded with a loud tumult at the naming of the young dragon that was destined to soon become the guardian dragon of Minshiana once Sieg became the King. The dragon disappeared as the surrounding people clapped, and the Childstone in Sieg's hand released a soft light.

That was the end of his adventure. The end of the story.

Yes, with this night the 11-year-old Prince Sieg's adventure came to an end.

The following morning Kazane and the others left Rock Hold Cave. With Sieg's social status revealed they couldn't stay there indefinitely, and Yuuko-nee was persistently sending a great number of emails sayingMother is in critical condition, immediately return.When the pace reached 5 emails a minute Kazane grumbledlively, isn't she.

Kazane made Hippo-kun run in Fash Horse mode, and the next evening they arrived at the Royal Capital Shubain. Sieg was silent the entire time and Tiara looked at him with worried eyes, but Louise said nothing and stopped Tiara when she tried to say something. Perhaps she was the only one noticing the determination of the young boy.

And the party reached the gate of Royal Castle Delgura.

Royal Castle Delgura - Evening

I am sorry. Her Majesty the Queen is in the middle of a meeting, so I will meet with you for the time being.

Sakyure came to greet them and apologized to Kazane and the others.

It seemed that the return of Kazane's group was earlier than they had imagined. Yuuko-nee was planning a festival to celebrate Sieg's survival and the dragon extermination at a rapid pace, and was not able to leave the meeting because they were planning for the festival to be held quickly.

No, we ran straight here for a long time. It's fine if we meet her tomorrow. Right, Sieg?

Sieg didn't answer Kazane, but stood before her.

?

Kazane stared at Sieg in puzzlement.

Umm, what's wrong Sie.....

And Sieg suddenly brought his own lips against Kazane's.

!

It was an unexpected kiss, but Kazane did not resist. It was a gentle kiss just overlapping their lips, and Sieg quickly separated his lips from Kazane's.

You're a precocious child, Sieg.

Kazane laughed with an uncomfortable face. It was a face that completely saw him like a younger brother, not at all like a girl in love. Kazane understood Sieg's thoughts, but she hadn't come to grips with them yet.

Since I won't catch up to you unless I push myself.

Sieg's face was red as he answered. Sieg didn't lose heart even after seeing Kazane's facial expression after kissing. That was what he already knew. Kazane was an adult and he was a child.

So he spread his palms and made a declaration.

Five years, in five years.

Kazane tilted her head at that remark.

After five years I will go and meet Kazane. I will ride Karza and go to your side.

Louise was smirking, Yumika and Tiara's eyes were wide, and Sakyure was speechless.

Will you marry me then?

Sieg said, but Kazane shook her head.

I can't promise that. At that time I might already be married?

Kazane wasn't saying anything strange considering her age, but Sieg was not discouraged.

At that time I will steal you away. No matter who the opponent is I will surely make you turn around and want to be with me.

Kazane couldn't neglect the feelings from that serious expression directed at her. So Kazane also seriously faced Sieg and conveyed her honest thoughts.

If that's said there's no use in saying any more. I do not know the future, but if that time comes I will properly face Sieg and give a serious answer.

Is that good enough?Kazane asked.

Now there is no problem.

Yeah. Well then.

Said Kazane. She stroked Sieg's head for a bit, then stopped her hand.

?

Sieg tilted his head, and Kazane saidI can't treat you like a child anymorethen grabbed Sieg's face and gave a retaliatory kiss.

Mu, mumuu

It was a much deeper kiss than the previous one. Their tongues entangled stickily, and Sieg had never experienced such an obscene feeling and started writhing, but Kazane did not separate. And for Sieg the passionate kiss felt like it lasted an eternity even though it was just a moment, and Kazane separated and spoke with a shy face.

Yes, this is an adult kiss. Become a good man, Sieg!

Ye, yes.

Sieg replied with a charmed face.

.....you went too far.

Kazane's face turned red as Yumika's words brought her back.

It's frustrating. My lips were robbed, so since they were already taken I counterattacked. I cannot lose to a child!

Nihihihi.Kazane said with an embarrassed grin, and Yumika grumbledwhich one is the child?It seemed the frivolous person in front of her eyes was only carried away with the momentum, but the incident was too strongly stimulating for a healthy young boy. A flag was possibly achieved.

Or perhaps I should say, haven't you noticed?

What?

Kazane was completely unable to predict the meaning of Yumika's words and asked.

Really. Although you prepared that boy meets girl ending, you two are still meeting normally again tomorrow.

Ha, what's that? Five years later, isn't it?

That's not how it was. Next time would not be in five years. They had an appointment with Yuuko-nee, so they would meet Sieg as well.

This is an adult kiss. Become a good man, Sieg!

From the other side Louise made kissy lips with a cheerful face.

No, it's no joke my wonderful best friend. I don't know what kind of face you'll wear when you meet tomorrow.

Eh? Eeh?

Well, do your best.

U, uwaaaaaaaaaaaa

Yumika suddenly gave a thumbs up, and Kazane cried out as she started running and disappeared into the night down the street.

This is an adult kiss. Become a good man, Sieg!

Louise repeated with a smooch sound. And one more black history was put together. Black history was the vestige of youth.

Tiara and Jinrai did not have any remarks, but Tiara was in a stupor from the kiss exchange and the immaturity made Jinrai embarrassed to the point of death.

Well, that's youth.

Mefirus said from Louise's arms with a distant look.
