When I returned ho, I requested the Free Wind mbers and Martha to gather intelligence. I had pleaded with Dirk to get information from the Knights Order too.
I had Kou set free the magic beasts that knew the place where they could return. The light-blue colored goldfish said they weren’t provided with enough food and water.
The unlucky thing was the child of a Crystal Dragon among them. Dragons are possible to buy with lots of money through dark auction, but they are bad news. They are currently living with a non-aggression pact with humans, but if this ti’s matter gets exposed, the herd of Crystal Dragons would wage war against humans.
“There was a Crystal Dragon nad Rulan?”
(Yes. He got caught while trying to save us.)
Rulan is a dragon child I got to know in the Crystal Dragon Village. We beca friends there.
“Do you know why he as nearby a human habitat?”
(He said he was going to et his friend.)
Is that !? It’s , isn’t it? It’s my fauuuult! The only human that would have a Crystal Dragon co for a visit would be , no!? While feeling greatly perplexed, Elder brother spoke to with amazent.
“You do sothing every ti you go out, huh.”
“That’s not… true.”
“Picnic twice.”
“Ugh.”
“Got lost.”
“Uu.”
“And this ti.”
“It isn’t on purpooose.”
My sorrowful shout echoed around. However, I can’t do anything about it even if I shout! I can only act to best of my ability!
“Oneechan.”
“What is it, Kou?”
He’s back quicker than I thought. Huh? The magic beasts did not decrease in numbers?
“Everyone has a request for you. They said they wouldn’t return without returning the favor.”
“Eh.”
How conscientious you are, magic beasts!
“Ah, then I would like you to cooperate with Rulan’s rescue plan! Can you?”
The magic beasts nodded and waited for instructions.
“Everyone says they will do it. Rulan… that Crystal Dragon Rulan?”
“Yeah. He apparently got caught. Kou, you help too please. We might as well have a big haul!!”
Crushing the magic beast rchant would be simple, but there are fools who are buying, so he might be useful for later. It’s an iron rule to remove weed at the roots! That being the case, let’s get to the dark auction. Moreover, the dark auction is tomorrow. I don’t have ti and I am worried about Rulan, but it’s convenient in a sense.
Having paid considerable sum with the gem before, the rchant promptly guided to the dark auction. Seems that I paid excessively enough.
Only well-dressed humans were at the assembly. Only fools with lots of money and spare ti! I am going to crush you all! Making moves on my friend is why you are all out of luck! The Knights, Free Wind, Geraldin-san and high-ranking adventurers I hired are already surrounding the place! I won’t let you escape!
“Ladies and gentlen! Welco and thank you very much for coming today!”
I quietly slipped out of the venue. I erased my steps and presence with magic.
“Darkness-sama~”
“Fumu, leave it to .”
The people working behind the scenes fell asleep one after another. I found Rulan locked up in a cage.
“Rulan! This is so heartless…”
Rulan’s body was full of wounds. I should have co earlier. I wonder if I shouldn’t be thinking so much and just rescued him? I healed Rulan while crying from regret.
“You… are Rosarin?”
“I ca to save you! Let’s escape!”
“I can’t.”
“Rulan!?”
“Have to let the other magic beasts escape first.”
“As expected of you, Rulan! Do not worry, I will save them!”
“… Got it. Thank you, Rosarin. Don’t cry. I’m fine. Dragons are strong.”
“Sorry for being late.”
“No, you ca fast enough.”
Rulan was understanding. Magic worked on him and there seed to be no problems. The light-blue colored goldfish was also delighted from the reunion with Rulan and said its thanks. What a heartwarming scene… is everyone prepared, I wonder?
“Kou, Kou… where are you?”
“I am here. The cages are all open now. We have persuaded everyone too. It took so ti, though.”
“Thank you, everyone.”
I asked the magic beasts I bought to persuade the magic beasts that were about to be auctioned off. I would be troubled if they rampaged once the cages got opened, after all. They had to be persuaded first to not follow the scent of the rchants.
Every single magic beast that was caged before escaped… huh? The light-blue colored goldfish didn’t leave.
(I can’t go. I have no ho. I am alone.)
“Then, beco our family’s child.”
(Okay!)
“What is your na?”
(I don’t have one.)
“Then, how about Kuurin?”
It has aquamarine-like scales too. The light-blue colored goldfish seed pleased with the na Kuurin as it shined in delight… huh? It shined? Its appearances turned into that of a rmaid with fairy-like wings, okay? Surely not… surely not…
“Oneechan… that child is the sa as , you know?”
“Let’s get along, Oneechan!”
Kuurin was a water spirit and a Bahamut… the child of the strongest fish-type monster of this world. She’s going to grow large, isn’t it? Don’t they get larger than a ship, these Bahamuts?
I, I am a woman that doesn’t learn! That reminds , no one but was able to hear this child’s voice! Setting them aside because dragons like Kou are needlessly bilingual… isn’t this the sa pattern as with Kou!
“Eeeeeeh!?”
“Your head is good but you are a fool, aren’t you? Rosarin.”
Aren’t you too cruel to , Rulan? I can’t retort because I am self-aware! Uwaaah!
“I won’t be able to return to the Village for a while too.”
“Eh?”
“It’s a curse. Although I am young, do you think dragons like would be easily caught? It was a Beastman that cast a curse on , but if this leaks to the Village, the dragons will rage. That is not my intention, though. The person who cast the curse on aside, I don’t wish for human-dragon all-out war.”
Rulan showed the curse crest. It gives off an unpleasant vibe.
“It’s weakening…”
I have been studying these recently, I might be able to do this myself? I remove the chains of curse with a soft light. While recalling Alissa’s magical power… clack, I heard a sound of sothing breaking.
“It ca off.”
“What?”
“Oneechan…”
Rulan was dumbfounded. Kou was amazed. Kuurin and I couldn’t comprehend properly. But certainly, the curse ca off.
“As expected, Oneechan is not normal. Humans aren’t generally able to remove curses that Dragons can’t remove themselves.”
“Ah, no, I only copied Alissa.”
“Alissa specialized in purification so it’s only natural that she can do it.”
“… I have Alissa’s protection!”
“I find it strange even with that.”
“Kou is no at the rebellious age, huh! Your Oneechan is sad!”
“Oneechan, I am afraid to say that it’s the truth.”
“Well, we all know that Rosarin is odd in many ways. In the first place, no normal woman would bring a box of cakes to a Dragon Village.”
“”……””
What a persuasive power. I consented there for a mont.
“No, we were able to settle our differences with words! Sweet things calm down the heart!”
“”That you were able to connect with Dragons with that is strange in the first place.””
“Kou was there too, I thought it would be fine.”
“You are way too courageous… also very softhearted of you to co and rescue without any hesitation.”
“Are you stupid? Helping a friend in predicant is only natural.”
“I see.”
Rulan laughed softly. Dragons are quite charming when they laugh, huh.
“Also, Rulan. I want to hear about the man who cast the curse on you in detail. He might be the person I am looking for.”
“Got it.”
“Now then.”
I activated the communication magic tool.
“Activate! Objective has been safely secured! Everyone, comnce the operation!”
“What was that about?”
“We are about to arrest all the idiots who ca to spend money on illegal products. They won’t be able to escape from the Knights and capable adventurers.”
As planned, the sponsors and custors of the dark auction had been seized and a thank you letter from Rudolf-san arrived to at a later day.
