Dropped Into Another World V3C4

Chapter 4 – Restored!

On the way back to the house, I see everyone training in the square.

They are in good spirits.

And today, as usual, there’s a wild battle of fire, water, and lightning magic.

Areh?

Something just passed by….maybe some wind magic got mixed in.

I didn’t notice since I couldn’t see it.

Yeah, today’s no different from any other day.

「Your lordship, good morning.」

「Hnn? Fluffy, good morning. Areh?」

Fluffy flew in front of me and he’s in his 2-meter form.

What’s this?

Something seems different.

Hmmm, looks the same as usual though.

What’s different then?

「Ah, magic power! Fluffy’s magic power has changed?」

「Your lordship, you noticed?」

「Yeah, your magic power feels different from usual.」

「Yeah, my magic power has finally been restored.」

Come to think of it, Fluffy and the other divine beasts’ power is being used to maintain this world.

After that, I heard that because of the evil eye, their remaining power was reduced considerably that they can be considered as in-danger.

Oh, so it’s restored.

However, did it just go back to normal?

You’ve become so powerful that it feels like you have a completely different kind of magic….at least that’s what I feel.

Well, if Fluffy is fine, there’s nothing to worry about.

「Good for you.」

「It’s all thanks to your lordship. Thank you very much. Your lordship’s magical power doesn’t reject us that’s why we were able to go back to normal faster than we thought.」

Fluffy’s words bring a wry smile to my face.

It seems like my magic is very pleasant and compatible with everyone here.

When we were finally able to speak with each other, they told me about it but honestly, I didn’t feel anything.

After all, they’re talking about the magical power that’s overflowing from me.

I don’t even know what kind of magic it is.

「But, are you going to be okay?」

「What do you mean?」

「Since you are divine beasts, aren’t you supposed to have divine power? Are you okay with just your magical power being restored?」

Goddess Aion said that she could bless them whenever they want.

She said that if they receive her blessing, they will be able to use divine power.

That is indeed the area where only gods can do something, isn’t it?

However, every time she comes to stay in this place, all I can see is a tired office lady.

No, she’s wearing god’s attire so she’s more like a tired sage than an office lady.

「Ah, right. My body has already adjusted to magical power. Divine power is certainly stronger but….does his lordship prefer divine power?」

「No, I don’t care either way. Fluffy can decide that for yourself.」

As I recall, there are quite a few restrictions on magical power but those restrictions don’t exist on divine power.

Goddess Aion explained it to me but I wasn’t interested so I didn’t listen.

「Your lordship has no greed! It would be great if all divine beasts here had divine power. We could do anything.」

「I have greed too but I don’t need divine power. I only need as much as I can do with my power.」

「Your lordship can do everything….」

Fluffy sounds disappointed with what I said.

Hnn?

Ah, I see.

I had the power to do quite a few things, didn’t I?

I haven’t used it lately so I forgot about it.

「If I had as much power as your lordship, I’d be a planet overseer in no time. Maybe you even create planets.」

「Fortunately, I have no interest in doing some annoying job like an overseer. And what would I do with the planet I’ll make?」

Fluffy laughed when he heard me.

I heard that for a god, an overseer is something to aim for.

It seems that being entrusted with a planet is being recognized as a full-fledged god.

I heard that the god apprentices aspired to become overseers.

I wonder what else I heard.

Goddess Aion said a lot of things but I didn’t need to listen to any of them so most info just left my other ear.

「Areh?」

「What’s up?」

「That’s Fluff Ball, right?」

I followed Fluffy’s gaze and saw a red dragon flying toward us.

It’s definitely Fluff Ball.

However, his red scales are different from usual.

There are black patterns floating in some places.

「Did something happen?」

Worried, I gently put my hand on Fluffy’s body. I’ve been taking it easy lately so I’m a little nervous.

「No, that’s….I think he evolved.」

Evolved?

Do dragons evolve?

Isn’t dragon the final form?

「Ehto, what do you mean by that?」

「I don’t really know either. If it were divine power, we would have new power but since we are all dealing with magical power now, I didn’t even think that we would evolve.」

Doesn’t that mean that Fluff Ball’s state is unknown?

「Come here.」

「Your lordship」

Fluff Ball happily comes toward us.

He transformed his body while moving towards us and now, he’s around 2 meters long, the same size as Fluffy.

「Fluff Ball, are you alright?」

「Hnn? Why wouldn’t I?」

Don’t tell me you didn’t notice?

No, I’m sure he did.

「Fluff Ball, you have patterns floating on your body.」

「Hnn? What?」

Hearing Fluffy, Fluff Ball suddenly becomes joyful.

「Right! Apparently, I seem to have evolved. I was surprised when I woke up.」

He’s speaking more broken than usual. Perhaps he’s too excited.

「Is there anything wrong with your body? You are dealing with magical power too, right?」

「That’s right. It made me evolve. I’m looking forward to see what’s new.」

By the looks of Fluff Ball, there shouldn’t be a problem with their evolution.

However, it’s not normal.

When I look at Fluffy, he looks a bit troubled.

It looks like there’s a problem.

「Fluff Ball, isn’t that normally impossible?」

「Why?」

Fluffy lets out a sign.

He seems to be a little taken back.

「We’re talking about magical power, you know. We can only evolve with the help of divine power.」

「That’s true but we are also absorbing his lordship’s magical power.」

Me?

You mean my magic is the cause?

Well, my magical power is not hostile against dragons, isn’t it?

「Hnn? What do you mean?」

「Fluffy, are you alright? Did you hit your head hard or something?」

Fluff Ball looks at Fluffy’s head with worry.

Though I think he’s being rude.

「Huh?」

That made Fluffy angry.

Fluffy’s tail swishes down to Fluff Ball.

Fluff Ball quickly evades.

The tail hits the ground.

「Uwaa」

The tail hits the ground causing dirt to fly around.

I quickly cover my eyes with my arms and braces from the impact.

However, the dust never reached me and I heard a “thud”.

It seems like the barrier I put on myself worked well.

Great.

I gently opened my eyes to check around and saw Fluffy, who was being held by a farming corps member on his tail.

「Ah, right, we were close to the field.」

When I looked at Fluffy, he was flailing his body around as if trying to do what he could to escape.

However, the farmer didn’t let him go.

I want to ask where it gets that much power but it will not answer.

After this, it will be up to the farming corps to decide.

Fluff Ball gently leaves away.

「Your lordship」

No, I’m scared too.

I don’t want to offend the farming corps!

「Ehto, farming corps, I need to speak with you for a minute….」

A cold wind was the reply to my inquiry.

It’s angry alright.

I can’t do anything, Fluffy.

I shook my head to Fluffy.

「Your lordshipppppp」

Impossible.
