CHAPTER 115: DRAGON KING PROMISE AND GATHERING POWER

After I finished lunch, I stepped out of the shop and noticed Hesty doing the same .

「Huh? Hesty are you going out too?」
「n…… . I didn’t want, to . But tonight, I will be going around, with Anne…I promised after all . 」

Hesty said with a face that looked like she was digging her own grave .
If you didn’t want to so much, why did you promise?

「In exchange for looking after Ramiyuros, she asked to, go around the festival, on the last day . 」
「Ahh, so that’s why Anne was with Ramiyuros yesterday . 」

I didn’t know how they ended up staying together…so it was an exchange .

「I see . So that’s why Anne is on standby at that street corner . 」
「……eh?」

Hesty’s eyes snapped open…it seems like she hadn’t noticed .
Anne was hiding in an alleyway across the street from my shop .

「Aneue-sama Aneue-sama Aneue-sama Aneue-sama Aneue-sama ……!!」

She was murmuring as her eyes glittered . She had an ominous aura around her .

Hesty carefully avoided looking at Anne as she turned towards me .

「It seems like, I’m having trouble, sensing things, due to your power . Also…somehow, I’m sorry for causing, such a strange person, to hang around . 」
「No, you don’t need to apologize . 」

The strange person is clearly focused on you Hesty, so you don’t have to apologize .

However, that alleyway is filled with a roiling aura that keeps everyone away .

「…… . for now I should, apologize to the merchant across, the way then we can go… . 」

Hesty nodded with a resigned expression .
Somehow she seems world weary…

「Ah, also, before we go out, there’s one thing . 」
「Hm?」

She turned to me and touched my hand .

「What’s wrong?」


「As I thought, your coating, is decreasing/loosening, so we might need to be careful . 」
「Loosening? What do you mean?」

Ever since I came to town, I’ve been applying my coating . Maybe there’s a time limit for this kind of thing?

「n, it’s a bit, different . Up till now, you’ve been coating, and damming up your, magic power . So it has been, building up, in your body . So right now, you are in a state of, releasing more power, than usual . 」

Huh, so coating has that kind of effect?

「No…… . normally the amount of magic, gathered would be minor . It’s because your scale, is different . Once you release it, something incredible might happen . 」
「Ohh…… . maybe this was the cause of that magic wave I made when I scolded them earlier?」

I only spoke slightly louder than usual and some kind of pressure exploded out .

「That, might be the case . So I think that, carefully using up some of, your magic, would be good . 」
「Ohh, I see . Thank you for your advice . 」

I’m really grateful for this kind of advance warning .
Now that I know, I can use magic to make some golems to release some of this .

「Ok then, I’ll, be off………to hell . 」
「Y-yeah… . do your best~」

Hesty walked over to where Anne was . Then, Anne grabbed Hesty and swept her away like a tornado .

… . . un, well…different strokes for different folks .

There may be various problems that pop up, but it’s good to have fun .
Maybe I should close up the shop early and go out with Sakura .

As I thought that I opened business for the third day .
