Chapter 280 – Intermission (Female Ninja) ④

Honey had mended the rift caused by the misunderstanding with Phianse-hime.

I think that’s a good thing. It makes me sad that Honey was quarreling with his childhood friend. And it would reduce the number of people I would invite to our wedding in the future.

Sadiz-san won’t be accompanying Honey on his journey after all. From the bottom of my heart, I’m glad that she won’t. Honey was also a boy. There was no guarantee that he wouldn’t be enticed by Sadistic Oppai.

And Kron-san, who is apparently my greatest rival for now, left this country with Honey, but after that, they will go their separate ways… I’m really glad… No, really.

So, although the women who adore Honey have become lively, there are currently no women who accompany Honey.

If so, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity… but…

“Why?! My Space-Time Ninjutsu isn’t activating!?”

A technique of the highest difficulty that twists space and leaps one to the person marked with it.

A technique that should allow me to leap to Honey’s side anytime, anywhere.

By using this to support Honey from the shadows and keep watching his every move, my strategy for staying one step ahead of the other rivals quickly fell apart.

“No way… did something happen to Honey?”

The worst case imaginable.

No… I can’t be… Honey…… you…… what about our children?

Sasuke!? Sakura!?

Our…… no no no, just hope the best for Honey.

Honey is safe for sure.

Then there are other possible reasons… if I can’t activate the jutsu, it means my ability is lacking.

Yes, that is the most likely…

“Huh!? Eh…… eh?”

At that moment, the intense pressure I felt from afar gave me goosebumps all over my body… tte, wait?!

“Wh, what, i, is that thing!?”

A huge dragon was approaching the town… not good!

“Please, be in time!”

Before I knew it, I was running. But even at this distance, I could tell.

No matter how you think about it, it’s not an opponent I can handle.

It’s much stronger than anyone I’ve ever faced.

But……

“It’s Vasalar, th’ Dragon King of the Hades! Wee lass, you may call me whatever you like, yesh?”

Vasa…… huh? The dragon spoke… Vasalar? Huh? Somehow, the name I often heard in old tales … but before that!

At the feet of that dragon, Amae!

That’s bad! Amae is Honey’s precious sister, in other words… she’s my sister!

“If it’s Vasalar… then, Vissy!!”

“Ngah!!?? Wh, wha, what!?”

“”””Waaaaaaaaaaiitt!!!???””””

“…Eh, eh, eh!?”

Amae’s pure and innocent eyes sparkled, and at her words, the dragon froze with its mouth open, the people around me were stunned, and I plunged headfirst into the ground in front of Amae…

“Oh, it’s Shinobu…”

“Oh, uh… ah~……”

Amae, called the dragon whose name appeared in legends and myths “Vissy”.

I was kind of blown away by the whole thing, and couldn’t get a word out while rubbing my forehead a little.

“N, nuh, wee lass. Vissy won’t do! I am male!”

“But Hilly is Hilly, so Vissy is Vissy… then, Vassy!”

“Nuoooh, why that one!?”

I, it’s amazing… if this dragon should sigh right now, everyone here will probably die… and yet Amae was smiling instead of being terrified…

“Un~…… then, Vaz.”

“Nuu… w, well, that’s reasonable…”

And I don’t know if it’s real or not, but the Dragon King of Hades, who seemed so strong that I wouldn’t be surprised if it really was, accepted a compromise… well, as expected of Honey and my sister… th, that’s scary.

“A, Amae, it’s dangerous enough!”

“Hey, it’s coming down!”

“…… get behind me…”

“Shinobu, get up!”

“Nuu, this situation, what’s happening…”

“And, anyway, the danger… is there any at all?”

“I don’t know…”

Anyway, with Amae being too defenseless, everyone was in front of the dragon as if to protect Amae at once.

Of course, I stood up.

And then……

“Hmph. Well well… Kaguya’s descendant… Have you awoken to th’ Moonlight Eyes yet? From the looks of it… you seem to have a decent amount of talent, but… well, you still don’t have th’ power yet. Such a shame.”

“Huh… m, Moonlight Eyes… of those three great magic eyes…”

“And th’ other humans too… Hmmm, hoho…”

Dragon…… Vasalar grinned… and glanced at us while nodding, as if assessing us…

“Well, they’re not as strong as that cheeky little lad who summoned me, and his bride.”

“”””Eeeeh!!??””””

“In all fairness, compared to him, your faces are much too feeble. Th’ world after my friend’s death… I wondered if th’ winds of a new era would blow hotly like that little lad and his bride… or not so hot?”

Words that completely condescend and ridicule us.

Who the hell are you comparing us to…

“Um…”

“Hmm?”

At that time, Sadiz asked about the state of the dragon…

“Vasalar, Dragon King of Hades… um…… the ones who summoned you… do you mean Little man and Kron?”

“Th’ names elude me, but they were th’ little lad and lass who contracted Hilua, and they summoned me.”

“…as I thought…”

What? Honey and… Kron-san? Huh? Bride? He said Bride!?

Why Honey and the Dragon King!?

“E, Earth’s summoned him!?”

“No way, Earth can’t use Summoning Magic…”

“And what’s more, he summoned the Dragon King of Hades!? Or rather, that hippopotamus really is the Dragon King of Hades’…”

The princess’ group, Honey’s childhood friends, were also surprised.

Certainly, to have me so surprised, as expected of Honey.

But…… Honey’s bride is…

“Oh, Vaz! Amae… is getting stronger! I’m not weak!”

“…… Hah?”

“Older brother promised! Amae… will get stronger!”

Hey, that’s why Amae!?

Her cheeks were pouted and she looked cute, but what are you doing!

Don’t give me too much stimulation…

“Nuhahahahahaha, good spirit.”

However, the dragon laughed wildly at Amae’s words…

“In a way, you have th’ greatest potential. Humans… at your age, are in what is called th’ ‘Golden Age’, a time when th’ nervous system is in a remarkable state of development… in other words, how you spend your time during this period will have a great impact on your future abilities.”

“……?”

“………………… er, an old friend of mine, once shared his great wisdom over drinks…”

Contrary to his grandeur, he spoke in a rather theoretical and inappropriate manner… but halfway through, he turned his face away awkwardly.

He was a rather unusual dragon, that’s for sure.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve picked up a new web novel to translate after finishing Maiden Game in Hard Mode. It’s short with only 49 chapters, and I was surprised no one picked it up even though there is a Manga Adaptation.
