Chapter 238
Chapter 238 - Let's Set Forth
For one day, Kazane participated in the mountain hunt to defeat the monsters still remaining inside the barrier, but except for that she passed the time until departure with Tatsuo and Naga . Kazane and Naga calmly passed the time with each other and seldomly started conversations, but at least when Tatuso started things off, the place became lively .
And then the decided day of departure came . Byaku proposed carrying them partway, but Kazane wanted to enter the hot springs in Drums City at the foot of Mount Konron, so they decided to depart on the Thunder Chariot . It would be drawn by Hippomaru-kun, whose source of power had switched to the Dragon Heart of the Lightning Dragon that was possessed by a Dragon Eater .
Also, the current output of Hippomaru-kun was slightly lower than with the Power Orb (small) . But since the Dragon Heart was from a Lightning Dragon, it had good affinity with the Thunder Chariot, and with the horns turned into a Ram, it seemed the power of『Crawling Lightning』had increased .
Naga and the other important dragons were seeing them off, and just before Kazane and the others were about to depart, Ao spoke to Kazane .
「Level 40 . Do you understand?」
Everyone else tilted their heads at Ao's abrupt words, but Kazane immediately understood the meaning .
「Do you mean . . . player Superiorization?」
Ao nodded after Kazane's reply .
「Yes . Superiorization happens to players, just like the game . You may have heard from Queen Yuuko . 」
A knight might become a Dark Knight or Holy Knight, a magician might become a Sage or Great Wizard; Kazane's current occupation according to the system was unclear, but level 40 was the point inside the game when a player could choose a superior occupation based on their abilities at the time, which was called Superiorization . Depending on the form of the soul . . . under that pretext, even race could change . Then Ao told them that happened even in reality .
「That’s when I became a dragon . 」
After Ao's words, Kazane, Naoki, and Yumika stared in wonder . The other companions didn't seem to understand the meaning, but they were also surprised .
「I never heard about there being an option to become a dragon inside the game, though . 」
That's right . . . Ao replied to Kazane's words .
「『Dragon Embodiment』was my Unique Skill . That's also something I never heard about during the game, but that ability embodies the power of a dragon in a human body . Breath, Divine Protection from Arrows, etc . can be used with a human body . 」
「That seems strong . 」
After Kazane's honest impression, Ao smiled bitterly .
「Yes, it was a considerable ability, but I was discriminated against because of it at that time . There was nothing else I could do, so I received the protection of a Dragon Village . 」
Ao said . Kazane and the others' facial expressions clouded over, but Ao immediately smiled and continued .
「But I was able to live normally among the Dragonoids, and at level 40 I was able to become a dragon itself through Superiorization . And you all know the rest after that . 」
(I thought Superiorization would only cause a Status increase . . . )
Unlike the game, they could input their own occupations in this world . When she asked Yuuko-nee, she heard she was a Great Wizard . So she had thought it would be a similar situation for herself, but the fact that there was a player who actually turned into a dragon in front of her was momentous .
And Ao saw Kazane was carefully thinking about it .
「Well, I can't say it will absolutely be the case, but since you have the Dragonization Skill, you might have the same choice as me . 」
Kazane nodded . That was certainly possible .
「It feels like I'll become a dragon anyway if I keep leveling Dragonization, though . 」
Then Kazane mentioned another possibility . That certainly seemed possible, so Ao nodded .
「Well, that might be so . In any case, I want you to remember that there will be that kind of choice . . . that's all I wanted to say . 」
「Yeah . I’ll remember it . 」
It was still unclear what path Kazane would take in the future, but Ao showing her there was also the option to live as a dragon was enough for now .
And like Kazane, Naoki and Yumika were also respectively thinking about Superiorization . Naoki thought they would probably be choices that were basically the next ranks of Magic Sword Operator, but what about Yumika?
(God Wolf race or something like that . . . might be possible)
She tried lightly thinking so in her head, but the fact was that she might have the option to『stop being human』 . That seemed like a path that would completely sever her connection to the original world she couldn't give up on yet, which shook Yumika to a non-negligible degree .
『We won't be able to meet for a while after this . 』
The discussion with Ao was over, and Naga spoke to Kazane .
「Yeah . But I'll send emails, and we might become able to return quite often?」
Naga and everyone else tilted their heads after Kazane's words, but the Return Stake was in Coral Temple . Kazane was thinking that if they obtained that, the difficulty of returning here would also disappear .
「If the prospects of that look bright, I'll report . 」
『Hmm . I'm looking forward to it . Tatsuo, stay in good health as well . 』
『Yes, father . I'll strive every day to become a splendid dragon . 』
Tatsuo said while clinging to Kazane . That made him seem all talk, but it had only been half a month since his birth . The normal age for him to stop being spoiled by his mother was still a long way off .
Then the party went through the Mist Barrier and headed to Drums City at the foot of Mount Konron . Kazane and Tatsuo were Naga's family, so the barrier had no effect . The fog actually avoided them, so there was only a clear view of the road as Hippomaru-kun and the Thunder Chariot advanced .

「Ah, it's been a long time since we were inside this . 」
