Dragon Buster



​ “Man, you liked alcohol and appetizers that much? Well it looks like we can communicate with words, so I guess we can move on with the negotiations, yeah?”

​ “The snacks were super tasty!”

​ I was just about to press the switch for the fourth time . The next time shouldn’t be a problem, though . Yep . If I recall, the next one’s stone spikes that’ll stab her .

​ “Now then, I suppose I should fill you in on what’s happening since you seem to be confused . First of all, you were caught by me . ”

​ “Eh? Oh, shouldn’t I escape now?”

​ “Wait . Take a look, see? Yeah . Let’s talk . ”

​ I held up three fingers so that only Igni could see them . She should get it . It’s the third situation . The third one .

​ The one where she’s supposed to ad-lib and follow what I say . She’ll definitely remember… right?
​ “… Umm . ”

​ “Could you hear us out without moving about, little miss?”
​ “Yep!”

​ It was a great response . She was able to read to mood properly, but can Igni put on an act?

​ “So, why did you attack that field in my village?”

​ “Well, I was just killing ti—I-I mean… it was a prank! Surprising them was fun…”

​ Ooookay, I almost wound up pressing the switch when she was about to finish saying she was killing time . It looks like she figured that was a bad thing to say when I smiled peeeerfectly at her .

​ I was trying to appeal to the group that the whole matter was because of Igni’s childishness . NO killing time YES prank! That was also covered in our meeting prior to this .

​ However, her eyes were darting this way and that . I guess she just barely remembered in time?

​ “A prank, huh~? Even so, it was a field we use to grow our food . You can’t just go ruining it, we’ll lose our source of food and be unable to sustain our meals to eat . ”

​ “Being hungry’s bad!”

​ “Exactly . So you won’t do it again, right~?”

​ “Right! Sorry!”

​ … Her being so obedient’s actually making her less persuasive! Even her expression’s off, she’s way too serious .

​ I turned to Wataru and Gozoh .

​ “… So what do you guys think?”

​ “H-Hah…”


​ “W-Well . ”

​ Wataru and Gozoh both responded immediately, but neither felt too convinced on the matter . Obviously, even I think it sounded like a lie .
​ “It looks like the two of them aren’t convinced yet . Come on, apologize to them as well . ”

​ “Eh? Why should I apologize to bugs—OW!? Umm, I’m sorry . ”

​ I successfully activated the switch for the fourth time . It was a conical shape this time and looked much more painful than the previous balls .

​ “Kehma-san is amazing . ”

​ “Huh? Oh, no . This was all just a child’s folly, let’s let it slide, how about it?”

​ “I’m not a child!”

​ BIKIIii!

​ The conversation’s flow I’d worked so hard to set up shattered .

​ Team Bacchus with Wataru in the lead took battle formation . Meat and Ichika also stood as interception between Igni and I . As though to protect me .

​ … They moved crazy quick . They were on alert . They didn’t trust her at all, no doubting that .

​ Should I push the child route a bit more?

​ “Only children grow angry when called children . ”

​ “Ah, then I won’t get angry! Because I’m not a child!”

​ “Oooh, how great of you . ”

​ I walked over to Igni and pat her on the head .

​ “Kehma-san, she’s dangerous!”

​ “Huh? … Oooh, yeah, sure . She is a flame dragon . But come on, she’s already apologized and said she won’t do it again, it’s fine already . Right, Igni-chan?”

​ “Yeah! I’m an adult and I keep my promises!”

​ BWOOSH!

​ With that, everything fell apart . This brat just tried making some kind of adult-like pose . Probably .

​ Everyone reflexively held up their weapons (me included) . Ichika and Meat both know about the circumstances…

​ Well, it’d be hard to get them to put faith in her anymore . I guess I’ll have to use my ultimate weapon?

​ “Hey, Igni-chan . Sit . ”



​ “Kay . ”

​ Doing as I said, Igni sat down .

​ “See? She’s very obedient . Why is everyone so tense around her?”

​ “No no no no, Kehma, aren’t you the one being too calm? That’s a dragon . ”

​ Gozoh’s frightened!

​ Why’s Gozoh, a person who can head off and drink with a hero like it’s nothing, so afraid? Are the people of this world so horrified by dragons?

​ No, even Wataru’s on guard…

​ “… But she’s obviously a little girl?”

​ “But I’d lose if she went wild!”

​ Hmm . Gozoh wouldn’t let down his guard . Guess I’ll have to show off my true ultimate weapon .


​ I didn’t want to have to use it if I’d been able to avoid it . It’s an ultimate weapon so strong that it would’ve been fine even if I didn’t use it, but…

​ “Haaah, alright . I’ll let you guys know my secret then . You’ll agree with me after knowing about it . ”

​ “Huh? Your secret?”
​ I sighed deeply and clapped my hands .

​ “… Please come here, Ontentoo . ”

​ Resolving myself and saying that, a whirlwind of fire appeared behind me .

​ Within it appeared a single salamander .

​ “Da—ebuuu—”

​ “Hoh, what an obedient flame dragon child . ”

​ Ontentoo held down Igni, who’d began to stand up .

​ Ontentoo, my true ultimate weapon . A familiar existence to me, as well as an existence capable of suppressing a flame dragon . Because he is her father .

​ “Wataru, Gozoh . This is my secret… I’ll introduce him . My friend, Ontentoo, the salamander . ”

​ “Kehma’s friends? Hello . ”

​ Ontentoo grinned and let his fangs appear on his reptilian face .

​ My friend to the end . A real friend .

​ “… What . . the… you subdued a salamander… a great fire spirit…?”

​ “Huuuh!? Subdue my ass!”

​ “Hey now, calm down, Ontentoo . They’re just startled, your face is pretty scary . ”

​ I tapped him on the shoulder . So far, this is how our meeting went . We were going for a whole ‘appeal through a hard to please existence that can’t just be used whenever’ kind of thing .

​ Moreover, Ontentoo was keeping Igni under his foot . When all’s said and done, parents can make their children bow… yep .

​ “Ah, sorry then… now! You apologize to them too! Properly!”

​ “Eeeh, s-sorry! Hyah!? I’m sorry!?”

​ “You’re not gonna go off and burn any more fields, RIGHT!?”

​ “Right! I won’t!”

​ “Goooood . Next time you do, I’m gonna break off this horn here and give it them!”

​ “Hyah!? Sorry! That hurts, I’m sorrryyy!!”

​ Igni, urged on by Ontentoo and her mind reeling, apologized . As expected of Ontentoo, he’s good at this .

​ As an aside, her horn takes around ten years to regrow . I wonder if recovery magic could speed that up? Maybe mass-production’s possible…

​ “So . That’s how it is . Maaan, it’s a great thing we could solve that so easily . Yep!”

​ “I-I see . So it was the salamander? Yeah, for a salamander, a great fire spirit, a flame dragon would definitely be below a normal dragon, but…”

​ “Team Bacchus is good with this too yeah? It’s an existence that can make a flame dragon submit whenever it wants . ”

​ The effectiveness was obvious . No one had any complaints about that .

​ “And I guarantee this guy’s trustworthy . ”

​ “Oi, you’ve got Kehma’s guarantee yeah? So dwarfy over there, can you trust me with his guarantee?”

​ “Of course I can! Village Chief Kehma’s guarantee is more than enough and there’s no dwarf alive who wouldn’t trust a salamander, the great fire spirits!”

​ “Riiiight!? Kakakaka!”

​ So he couldn’t believe me about the dragon but the salamander’s just fine? That’s a bit weird, but I guess we somehow came to an agreement…

​ I guess dragons are just no-gos after all?

​ “So Ontentoo, I’ll leave Igni to you . Please educate her properly . ”

​ “Yeah, leave it to me . I’ll discipline this brat . ”

​ I went with the strategy of leaving the whole Igni matter to Ontentoo . The drawback of this plan is that it brings

​ Ontentoo’s existence to the surface . The advantage is that it means Igni can continue her stay home .

​ It didn’t really matter much to me either way, so I was totally willing to go with it when Ontentoo agreed to it .

​ “Oh, you can have this alcohol as payment . Well, it’s just the leftovers of what we brought for her . ”

​ “Ooooh! Thanks for the gift!”

​ Ichika, Gozoh, and Roppu… I told you guys I’d already prepared the same alcohol for you to party with when we get back, so stop it with the drooling .

​ “Kehma-san . Could you come over here for a moment?”

​ “Hm? What’s up, Wataru?”

​ “How the heck did you get to know such a big shot!?”

​ “Ah… parents are great, don’t you agree?”

​ “… Huh? You were a second generation?”

​ I was talking about how the salamander was able to reign in his daughter, the flame dragon, of course . Not about having Japanese parents that introduced the salamander to me . (I won’t have anything to do with remedying that misunderstanding, though . )

​ “Oh, and it’d be great if you all could keep me knowing Ontentoo a secret . I don’t really want to be asked about it . ”

​ “Understood… but… how should I put it? You’re friends with such a strong spirit…”

​ “… What, Ontentoo’s that strong?”

​ “Oh come on! Salamanders are great fire spirits! It’s said that all fires bow their heads before salamanders!”

​ Fires? Heads? How though .

​ “Kehma-san, have you not heard of the four great spirits? Gnomes of earth, Undines of water, Sylphs of wind, and Salamanders of fire . They’re famous… . You don’t happen to be friends with other spirits, right?”

​ Famous huh . I’ve definitely heard names like that in games before at least .

​ … Huh? But Ontentoo isn’t a salamander, he’s a salamander-type core . I wonder if that puts him on the same level as them?

​ Eh, either way, with Ontentoo pinning down Igni, we managed to end it all with my last resort .

​ We did it .

​ Right?
