Chapter 38
The shadow magic completely destroyed the dragon’s insides .
It ravaged the brain, and returned to the sword blade once again .
It extracted power from the dragon, and when its life was completely extinguished, the enormous body suddenly started disintegrating into light fragments .
Normal monsters would, of course, not emit light when it died .
In the dim boss room, the dragon’s light was quite bright .
I drew ‘Yatonokami’ out and jumped down from the dragon .
Amelia, who stood at a distance, saw that and rushed over .
Amelia, when she saw that her attacks were not going through, it seems that Amelia stood outside the range of the long-distance attacks .
「Akira, your injuries?」
「It’s fine . It’s just scratches from the dragon’s scales . 」
「But, the injury on your right leg, it’s getting worse . 」
I glanced at my right thigh,
「Right now, I’m running on adrenaline, so I’m fine . 」
「Adorenarin?」
「…I’ll tell you later . 」
Leaving that aside, I looked at where the dragon was .
The lights were getting dimmer and dimmer, and the dragon’s enormous body faded, it couldn’t be compared to a dragon, but there was a huge black cat monster lying down there .
「…this was the monster that was the dragon?」
「Probably . There’s a metamorphosis extra skill in its status, so isn’t that it?」
「It’s a skill that allows it to transform into something that it’s seen once . If it’s an extra skill, one look, and even the status, most of it can be imitated . However, its strength was its own and if it didn’t didn’t look closely, then it wouldn’t be able to imitate it . 」
「Which means that it’s not such an idiot that it would attack a dragon . Thanks to that, we were saved though . 」
I, approached the monster, which seemed to be named Black Cat .
The name was as it was .
If it were G.o.d that gave it the name, give it a better name .
Amelia also followed .
The golden eyes within the black fur weakly opened and looked at us .
It seems that it was still breathing .
『…it’s the first time a human has come down to this level . 』
A sound leaked out from the mouth that was faintly opened .
We didn’t think that the bitter voice that was deeply resounding in our heads came from the dying monster in front of us, Amelia and I were restlessly looking around .
『Over here, you idiots . …haa, for the one who defeated me to be such an idiot, it’s extremely vexing . 』
「Who’s an idiot, idiot cat . 」
「The one who says idiot is the idiot . 」
When we retorted, immediately rejecting the insult, the Black Cat squinted its eyes a little .
It appeared to have laughed .
It’s quite energetic .
『…by that logic, then that man is an idiot . Maa, fine . You have received a message from the demon king-sama . Will you listen to it?』
Black Cat, looked straight into my eyes and said this .
I tilted my head in confusion .
Demon king or something, it was an acquaintance whom I’ve only heard the name of .
Rather, I’m surprised that that person knew about me though .
「…demon king? What business does he have with me . 」
『Don’t know . I don’t understand what that person is thinking either . 』
『Don’t know . I don’t understand what that person is thinking either . 』
「…Akira, are you going to listen?」
Amelia looked up at me with uneasiness .
I patted Amelia’s head .
「It’s fine . If Amelia is here, it’’ll be fine, right?」
「…un . 」
『…cough . 』
Perhaps it was feeling uncomfortable, Black Cat’s bitter voice gave a cough .
Its eyes flashed with hatred .
As expected, it seems that no matter which world it is, when one sees a man and a woman flirting, one would be filled with anger .
『…’I’ll be waiting in the demon king’s castle within the ’Continent of Demons’, Volcano . ’』
「…that’s it?」
『Aah, the message that I received was just that . 』
「It’s quite mysterious, but how did you receive that message?」
Black Cat shook its head .
『We are demonic monsters created by the demon king-sama . All of us are the eyes, ears, hands and feet of the demon king-sama . Even if we didn’t receive it, we know . 』
「…from what I heard, monsters are created by G.o.d though . 」
『Then, what you heard was wrong . I remember it like it was yesterday when I was created by the hands of the demon king-sama . 』
「… . 」
I didn’t say anything towards Black Cat who proudly said that .
It didn’t look like Black Cat was lying .
However, I don’t think that Commander Saran was lying either .
However, I don’t think that Commander Saran was lying either .
Then, who was correct .
『Saa, human . Kill me . 』
「Ha? Why . 」
『The metamorphosis skill that I received from the demon king-sama had been seen through, I have no worth . I thought that that dragon turned out pretty well though . 』
Black Cat was regretting something .
I tilted my head in confusion .
「It’s kind of late, but why are you not able to move?」
『It’s obviously because of the gravity that had stopped my movements at the very end . Because I resisted it too forcibly, my bones were jarred and I can’t get up . 』
「…hee . So you knew what gravity is . 」
『Our demon king-sama is extremely knowledgeable . 』
I nodded at Black Cat who once again puffed up his chest with pride .
I see, perhaps the demon king was summoned from our world, or he’s someone who had reincarnated .
There was no science in this world .
I had heard of this from Commander Saran too, and I heard about this matter from my conversations with Amelia as well .
In the first place, I was surprised that Amelia knew about gravity, but whether it be by summoning or reincarnation, they were taught by a person who had come to this world, or, there’s also the possibility that there were records left behind .
It may not be something unknown .
Besides, I saw electric lights and cameras in Retice as well .
It seems that it’s still not popular among the citizens, but there’s no mistake in its utilization .
The way that they used the camera that I found in the castle was ingenious .
There was definitely someone who taught them this .
『If you understand, then kill me . 』
「I refuse . 」
『If you understand, then kill me . 』
「I refuse . 」
『Why!!』
Black Cat bared its fangs .
It was a good thing that Black Cat was not able to move, I bent down and stroked its fur .
That fur was warm and extremely thick, I had only placed my palm on it and it sunk several centimeters into it .
「There’s no way that I would kill a cat with such beautiful fur . 」
「Now that you mention it, Akira, even if the cat was a monster, kept stroking it . 」
『What!?』
That’s right . I love cats .
It was said that black cats brought misfortune, but it’s absurd to mistreat cats!
Your own misfortune was completely because of yourself .
This was the pet theory that I had .
『…what’s going on . If I went back like this, I’ll be the greatest laughingstock . 』
「Then, it’ll be fine if you come with us . The demon king who would be able to monitor me would be ecstatic as well, and I’ll be ecstatic to be able to regularly cuddle this fluffiness . 」
‘Wha?,’ when it looked towards Amelia, Amelia glided her hand along Black Cat’s fur and was spellbound .
Even if she didn’t give a reply, I understood .
『I don’t particularly care, but the same race, in other words, monsters, I won’t kill them, ok?』
「That’s to be expected . For the time being, let me cuddle you thirty times a day . 」
「Me too . 」
『…you guys, are crazy . …maa, fine . I’ll go with you . 』
「Maa, we were the ones who won, so the ones who had the final say is Amelia and I though . 」
Due to a rather impure motive, my traveling companions increased by one animal .
