Tensei Kenja no Isekai Raifu ~Daini no Shokugyo wo Ete, Sekai Saikyou ni Narimashita~ Chapter 55: There Was Something Suspicious About The Clouds

Chapter 55: There Was Sothing Suspicious About The Clouds

The next day.

We were all gathered together in the guild’s eting room.

This eting room was bigger than the one we were in last ti.

About twenty people had gathered, giving it the feeling of a rather large eting.

There were officials and Adventurers and guild workers and even a priest.

“We have gathered here today to discuss the ‘Blue Dragon of Delight.'”

The manager declared once we had all settled.

Apparently, that’s what they called the dragon.

And since it had a na, it must have been seen in the past as well.

As I considered this, the manager opened his mouth again.

“The Blue Dragon of Delight was discovered by the party of Adventurers who were investigating the Earth Dragon. It is very different from any known monster, in fact, there are no other dragons that are like it… Is that right?”

The man who was sitting next to the manager answered.

“That is correct. At least, there is no such dragon in any of the records that the guild possesses. …That is, if this picture is accurate? It is very detailed and even in color. I cannot believe that soone was able to draw this right in front of a monster. Perhaps they drew it later based on vague mories?”

“…I felt so too. But the Adventurer, Yuji, claims it is the ability of his slis. …Yuji, could you perhaps create an illustration for the Earth Dragon as well?”

The manager asked as he slid a sheet of paper.

He wanted to know how trustworthy this ‘Thoughtography’ was, and so they would test it with a monster whose appearance they recognized.

Thankfully, ‘Thoughtography’ did not use much MP, so I could use it casually.

As I had put the bla on the slis, I placed one sli on the paper for show and then chanted.

‘Magic Transfer—Thoughtography.’

And then an image of an Earth Dragon appeared on the paper.

As last ti, it was in color.

“OOOH!!”

“It-it’s a perfect Earth Dragon… To create such a perfect image in a second. What kind of monster is that sli…”

“Would you sell your sli to ? I will give you a million…no, two million!”

The eting turned into chaos once the picture was complete.

Unfortunately, they were now ignoring the purpose of the eting and began to negotiate prices.

In the first place, ‘Thoughtography’ was my own magic, so there was no point in buying my sli.

“So, now you understand how special Yuji’s sli is? So this picture must be accurate.”

“…I see. However, that ans that the book is the only resource we have about this monster.”

The man said as he pointed at the single volu held by the small priest.

It was old and worn. You could not even read the title.

“But the sky is bright, so I don’t think it is…”

The priest said with anxious eyes as he looked at the old book.

It seed that sothing was bothering him.

“In any case, couldn’t you explain to us about the monster in that book? I heard of a similar monster being described in myth. But I have never heard of an actual blue dragon.”

The manager said. The priest answered,

“Of course, you wouldn’t have. This myth is not well-known and most of it is unreadable. It is practically a miracle that I can read this page.”

The priest said as he carefully opened the book.

It was so old that to handle it roughly would cause the pages to fall out.

And in this book…was the exact sa dragon that I had seen.

“…Yes, it is very similar in appearance. So, what kind of monster is this dragon within the myth?”

“This dragon had incredibly strong water magic. In the myth, the dragon grew with the darkness that covered the sky. And when it was fully grown, it destroyed a continent in just three days.”

“A continent in three days. A mythological monster… Still, I find it difficult to believe that sothing that could destroy a continent was in the Delight Forest…”

“I agree. Besides, it has not beco dark here…”

Just then, the priest glanced out the window…then muttered.

“…But, does it not see a little darker than usual?”

“Are you kidding?”

Then the manager looked out.

I used the slis to see what it was like outside.

Yes, it did seem darker than usual.

“Yes, that seems to be the case.”

“Can it really be true then…”

“No, it must be a coincidence.”

Still, the participants of the eting started to look worried.

…Now that I think about it, it had been quite dark in the forest as well.

What if…

“What is this darkness that covers the sky supposed to be like?”

I had a bad feeling about it as I asked the priest.

And then he answered.

“According to the myth, only a part of the sky becos dim at first. Then it starts to spread and beco darker. While this is happening, there will not be a cloud in the sky.”

…Now that I think about it, there hadn’t been any clouds in the sky while we were in the forest. I think.

‘Hey. Were there clouds while we were in the Delight Forest?’

‘There weren’t any!’

‘No! The weather was so nice! Well, except it was a little dark!’

‘It got darker when we were leaving.’

I asked the monsters just in case, and confird that it wasn’t just .

This…is getting really bad.

“While we were investigating in the forest, it beca strangely dark, and there were no clouds in the sky…isn’t that the sa as the book?”

“…It is.”

“An oppressive air filled the eting room.

If this was earth, there would be no need to worry about mythological creatures from books.

However, this was a world of monsters and magic.

Even if it was an old myth, it could still be true.

…But if the Blue Dragon of Delight really was that mythological dragon, then there was nothing we could do.

What use would it be to gather the strongest Adventurers together, if this dragon could destroy a continent by itself?

“By the way, how long does it take for this dragon to grow completely?”

Perhaps it would take an incredibly long ti for such a mythological dragon to grow large enough to destroy the continent.

If it took 100 years, that would be enough ti to think of sothing.

However, that hope was crushed when the priest opened his mouth.

“3 days.”
