We Live in Dragon’s Peak - Chapter 61.2

Chapter 61.2

“Zhee, zhee…” I’m panting, collapsed atop of the moss carpet .

If I look at the results, wasn’t I the oni the longest? How did that happen?

I reflect on the game as I catch my breath . I miscalculated on Ruiseine’s tactics . She absolutely developed a method for dealing with space jump . Furthermore, she supplemented it .

She supplemented it with law .

Ruiseine cleverly utilized law to do things like escape and obstruct . Whenever she escaped, she used a law to utilize a horizontal high speed movement known as star passage . That false yuusha used this law . Furthermore, even if I was able to close in on her with a space jump, she’d avoid me with trained defensive reflexes .

Her binding law was her most troublesome response . She avoided aiming it at me as much as possible . Instead, she flung it at everyone but the oni . Naturally, as the oni, I targeted anyone unable to move . As such, everyone who wasn’t the oni, had to remain vigilant against Ruiseine’s law .

As a result, being unable to continuously use space jump and not being able to find a way to deal with Ruiseine’s tactics, I ended up becoming the oni the most .

Old Sleigstar laughs at me . “Thou still hast a long way to go before thy can toy with thine’s bride, kukuku .

Asher-san sighs as she says, “My, how shameful . ”

“Uuugh, everyone is ganging up on me . ”
“My, my, well, well, isn’t that just everyone expressing their love?”

Ruiseine comes up to me and gives me some water .

“Then, Ruiseine who kept on targeting me, must love me too . ” I blush upon speaking those words .

“I don’t believe it will work if you get embarrassed saying that . ”

I turn even redder at Ruiseine’s teasing .

“Nntto, it’s onii-chan’s loss . ”
“Guu, how frustrating . ”
“Therefore, no meat . ”
“Eeeh, we never agreed to something like that!”

I panic at Priscilla-chan’s proclamation . This is flying dragon meat! I absolutely want to eat some!

Everyone in the plaza laughs at my petitioning to a little girl to let me eat meat .

“At any rate, space jumping sure is incredible . ”

Ruiseine strokes Priscilla-chan’s head as she praises her . Priscilla-chan takes delight at the praise .

“Nntto, Ruiseine learn too . ”
“Eh!?”

Priscilla-chan hugs Ruiseine and vanishes . I look around searching for the two of them while wondering, “Where’d they go?”

“Uu, uuugh . ”

There!

Priscilla-chan and Ruiseine have hopped up somewhere onto Old Sleigstar’s head .

“Awawaa . ”

I make a commotion in my fluster . Regardless of how it’s taken, they’re still on top of Old Sleigstar’s head . No matter of how close we are with him and how kind he is to us, he’s still a legendary dragon who watches over the Dragon’s Forest . Thinking about what could happen if we go too far is scary . And now, both Priscilla-chan and Ruiseine are on the head of that old, legendary dragon!

“Ru- Ruiseine, are you okay!?”

She absolutely can’t throw up .

Ruiseine covers her mouth and fights her nausea .

Yeah, that does happen .  Space jumping gives terrible nausea and dizziness to people who aren’t used to it . As for me, I threw up three times before getting used to it . But throwing up on Old Sleigstar’s head would be a disaster .

“Hey, Priscilla! I’ve already told you not to suddenly space jump people who aren’t used to it!”

At that strict scolding, we all look towards the entrance of the ancient forest .

“Nntto, welcome baack . ” Priscilla-chan doesn’t pay Mistral’s anger any attention . Instead, she waves her hand back at her return .

“I have meat . ” Priscilla-chan ditches the deathly ill Ruiseine who is right before her eyes and leaps into Mistral’s chest .

Mistral catches her without any effort . Then in one strike, lightly rams a fist into her head .

“Uugh . ”
“Seriously, you… . ”

Mistral gives a wry smile at Priscilla-chan’s, “do as I please,” attitude .

I head towards Old Sleigstar, “Eetto…”

“This one is unfettered . Thou’s providing of assistance would be for the best . ”

Upon acquiring Old Sleigstar’s approval, I space jump close to Ruiseine . I then rub her back while asking, “Are you okay?”

Ruiseine, despite being covered in cold sweat, give me a smile . “Ye- Yes, somehow or another . ”

“Priscilla, as punishment, you won’t receive any meat . ”
“Eeeeh! No, no!”

Down below, Priscilla-chan can be seen finally reflect on herself upon being told she won’t be allowed to eat any meat .

Actually, this is my first time riding on top of Old Sleigstar . Since he’s laying down, this isn’t as high as Asher-san’s back, but the moss-covered plaza still looks like a completely different world from up here .

Old Sleigstar raises his head as he says, “This one has not been ridden since the Amado and Jortenitos twins . ”

In one go, my field of view is much higher .

“Ah, unfair!”

Priscilla-chan, while being held by Mistral, leaps up to where Ruiseine and I are .

Mistral, seeing Priscilla-chan not reflecting at all, makes a troubled expression . “Seriously, you . ”

Priscilla-chan cries out, “kya kya,” as she enjoys herself from atop of Old Sleigstar’s head . I, along with Mistral and Ruiseine, can only make a wry smiles as we enjoy the scenery .

“Welcome back . ”
“Yeah, I’m back . Although I’m saying that, I have to immediately return again tomorrow morning . ”
“Looks like you’re being kept busy . ”
“Quite, I have various things to attend to . ”

Incidentally, Nymia watches over us from atop of Asher-san’s head .
