Chapter 212 - Let's Call Him Husband
◎ Great Dragon Palace, God Dragon Emperor's Throne Room
「It's like I can see their vexed expressions . 」
Kazane was making a hateful smile in the God Dragon Emperor's throne room the day after the devil attack .
Speaking frankly, that smiling face was like Great Sensei A instead of Great Sensei F . It was a fufufu smile .
Ao and Naga were also there and had A-like smiles like Kazane .
「Well, I'm glad we applied that final insurance . Truly . 」
For some reason, the West Dragon Village's Ao was there and spoke . It seemed being Humanized was his default state, and he was sitting beside Kazane and laughing .
『It was several levels higher than the seal I was planning to apply . Well, it can't be seen without looking very closely . 』
Naga said . The rainbow Dragon Spirit he was emitting was much thinner than before . His chest contained the Power Orb (small) that was previously in Kazane's Hippomaru-kun .
Kazane had remembered Master saying the Power Orb (small) was like a deep layer class Childstone . With Kazane's swift action after that, it was successfully transplanted as Naga's Core, and he narrowly escaped death .
Though since the output was low, he had simply survived and couldn't use his previous strength, but there was no mistaking that just surviving was an unexpected miracle for Naga .
Then Kazane took the Infinite Key out of her Item Box . That was the key to victory .
「Well, since I used this . The Lock function of the『Infinite Key』Artifact . 」
The Artifact『Infinite Key』had the power to unlock anything conceptually related to unlocking and was a rare item that could only be used by players on subsequent playthroughs, but that wasn't the only ability of the item . It was a key . Therefore, it could close as well as open . Though in the game its only purpose was to lock important items so they wouldn't be used accidentally . That nuance didn't change in this world, but that was a tremendous effect despite being simple .
「Its Lock function is powerful . Those guys won't be able to unlock it . 」
In Kazane's opinion, Artifacts were in the same category as the Window and Dungeons . The techniques that reproduced the game's systems were a black box, a mystery that even Ao couldn't unravel despite living for 800 years .
Kuhihihihi . . . . . . Kazane laughed . Those devils must be seething . It was a terrifyingly delighted face . She was laughing while imagining them saying things like「Ah, we can't use itー」「Why?ー」「Kazane-sama, forgive meー」with crying figures . It was a situation that required an immediate return to reality .
Though Naga couldn't honestly laugh .
『But isn't that dangerous for Kazane?』
Ao answered Naga's anxiety .
「In that regard, I'll spread information that I have a secret sealing technique . The general rule for Artifacts is one per person, and those guys should have seen the Crimson Saint Coffin that's usually hanging from Kazane-san's waist . So please don't talk about this anywhere else, Naga-sama . This fact is only known by me, Kazane-san, Minshiana's Queen Yuuko, and Naga-sama . 」
Yuuko-nee knew about the Infinite Key, so she proposed the insurance of using its Lock function on Hagasu's Heart when Kazane received it . Artifacts, like the Window, were existences beyond human knowledge . It should be the strongest sealing technique .
「Well, really, please don't leak this . As might be expected, protecting myself will be impossible if it's spread . 」
Kazane was throwing in the towel . She was furious with that group, but challenging a foe of that scale was impossible with just one party .
『Then the enemy will turn to Ao . 』
Ao made a brutal smile after Naga spoke .
「I'm looking forward to it . 」
So saying, Ao's chilling bloodlust dominated that place .
The dead Northern Black Season Gen was Ao's child born through the Reincarnation Dragon ritual . The other guardians Byaku, Suza, and Sei were also given birth to by Ao with the Reincarnation Dragon ritual . He hadn't only focused on the West Dragon Village's revival, but the East Dragon Village's as well . Therefore, the negative emotions he was harboring were quite deep right now . Naga understood, but there was something more important, so he chided him .
『Ao-dono . Don't harbor such ill feelings in this place . You might frighten my child . 』
Ao made a taken aback expression after Naga spoke . Then he apologized with「I'm sorry . 」Kazane beside him was saying「Everything's ok」as she hugged and caressed the egg . Kazane grinned when it was clear that the child was moving inside .
「Kufufu, hey, husband . 」
『What?』
「I just wanted to say it . 」
『Fuー』
Naga and Kazane laughed . Looking at the situation, Ao muttered「Ah, they're close . 」
The current three person discussion was taking place at noon on the day after the devil attack .
Naturally, it wasn't like things had settled down immediately after last night's battle ended . Rather, they had been busy dealing with the aftermath since then .
The first thing Kazane had dealt with was Naga's heart transplant surgery . It was a major operation in which the damaged Rainbow Heart was removed from the almost dead Naga and the Power Orb (small) was installed .
At first, all members of the『Four Guardian Sword Dragons』except the dead Northern Black Season Gen implanted the Power Orb (small) and tried to synchronize it with Naga's magical power, but handling the rainbow Dragon Spirit was difficult, and in the end Kazane had to adjust it using the Window . She promptly completed it, and Byaku, Suza, and Sei were astonished . Kazane had keenly felt that the Window was outside the standard .
And regarding the battle, it was confirmed that the aforementioned member of the『Four Guardian Sword Dragons』Northern Black Season Gen was dead . 54 other dragons died as well . 18 dragons were bitten by black devils, which made them turn black and join the enemy side, and they had vanished along with the other enemies . The Dragonoids also had a not insignificant number of casualties .
Also, Blue Flame Ao, the assistant to the head of West Dragon Village Laguna, was there because he received the same email from Yuuko-nee as Kazane's group .
It seemed Ao felt uneasy about the words Heart and Devil written in the email and went to see Queen Yuuko at Royal Capital Shubain right away . After seeing that Yuuko-nee had lost consciousness due to a Curse, he realized the possibility of someone aiming for Hagasu's Heart and came here chasing after Kazane and the others .
When Ao arrived early that morning, he bitterly smiled and said「I didn’t make it in time,」but he arrived four days after receiving the email . Considering the distance, he had truly unreasonably forced himself to arrive so fast . He was composed now, but he looked like he was about to collapse from fatigue when he arrived .
「So then, Yuuko-nee's Curse can be removed with the Infinite Key, right?」
Kazane asked Ao . It seemed Yuuko-nee was currently unconscious because of the Curse, which naturally explained why there was no reply to their emails . And that Curse was so powerful that Ao couldn't remove it, but Ao had said it was probably possible with Kazane's Infinite Key .
「Yeah, it should be possible with the same process you used when you removed King Mefirus' Curse . But since your Artifact must not be revealed, I think I should secretly take only you to Minshiana to undo it . Is that fine?」
「Yeah . Of course . 」
If it was about Yuuko-nee there was no need for Ao to ask . Though Kazane continued「But . 」
「After this child is born . 」
