Chapter 92 - Becoming Siblings




「A Reincarnation Dragon is an individual who was born again as a new dragon from a Dragon Heart using the dragon tribe's secret technique . That is to say, he is a Reincarnation Dragon reborn using the Dragon Heart of the Black Rock Dragon Giove, who was subjugated 600 years ago . 」

All present said「I see」at Ao's explanation and looked at Aka . And Aka supplemented Ao's words .

「It's important to remember than only the Dragon Heart is the same as Giove's, and I'm a completely different dragon . Burning Rock Dragon Aka is my name . 」

He said while pointing to himself with his thumb .

「Well then, what was the Giove we defeated in that dungeon?」

Ao answered the confused Yumika's question .

「That was the earth's memory . Giove's soul information remained in the Naga Line and was reconstructed and placed in a Childstone . It was the same as the Giove that once existed . The only difference was that his core was a Childstone instead of a Dragon Heart . 」

「Well, that means that dragon kid in the Childstone is like my sibling . 」

「Sibling, you mean Aka-sama is Karza's older brother?」

Sieg showed the Childstone to Aka . Then a soft white light shone faintly from the Childstone .

「That's how it is . That's why I came, to say hello to him . 」

「So that means our Minshiana guardian dragon and the West Dragon Village's Gatekeeper-sama are siblings . Sieg's influence is truly strong . 」

Yuuko-nee said with a beaming face .

「Oh . If you need anything please consult with me . Summoned dragons and ordinary dragons are a little different, but I should still be more familiar with anything concerning dragons than a human being . I'm your elder brother, so I'll surely help you, Karza . 」

Sieg's Childstone blinked with a pale light in response to Aka's words . It seemed to be gratefully accepting .

Aka said「let me borrow him for a little bit」and Sieg let him borrow the Childstone, which Aka held in his palm and started talking to . It seemed a conversation between fellow siblings was being done . While watching that Ao started talking with「well then . 」

「With that, Aka's matter seems settled . There are three reasons we came out of the dragon village . The first is for Aka and Karza to meet and vow to unite as siblings . Ah, it's not a contract or anything, just an elder brother and younger brother introducing themselves . 」

Sieg's expression heightened in caution, but Ao anticipated the question and answered it before it was asked .

「Another reason we came was to make a request for the delivery of『a certain package』to the East Dragon Village in Hyvern . I will make an official nominated request through the adventurer's guild . 」

Kazane frowned a little at that . Somehow we're only receiving nominated requests . . . was Kazane's thought, but based on their achievements Kazane's party was already as strong as a rank A party, and it wasn't unusual for a rank A party to no longer do free requests and continually receive nominated requests .

「For the final reason, perhaps you already know the answer, but it was concerning the existence of a new dragon that was something like a twin to the white dragon Karza . So we came for validation . 」

At Ao's remark everyone looked at Kazane's face . Kazane chuckled as she raised her hand and replied「yes, it's me . 」

「Do you mean you can summon a dragon?」

The true nature was a little different from Ao's question .

「Well, I can summon, or perhaps I should say I can become?」

Since the nature was also unclear to Kazane she wasn't sure how to answer, so she answered according to her own awareness .

「What does that mean?」

Kazane looked to Louise for Ao's next question . She was an expert in magic and summoning, and had examined Kazane's『Dragonization . 』However, Louise had no answer to return to Kazane's gaze .

「I am sorry . I also don't understand . It's like a summon with herself as the core, but it seems the main constituent is still Kazane . 」

The core summoning done by the devil Diablo used Tiara as the core to summon the Ruby Griffon . However, according to Louise, even if Tiara's body was substituted for the core, the main constituent was still the Ruby Griffon . But Kazane's transformed dragon moved by Kazane's own will .

「Then would it be possible to actually show it to me?」

If they don't understand it, there was no choice but to to check it himself . With that thought Ao checked with Kazane . Kazane thought if her ability to transform was already known there was no need to hide it . She also felt like she wanted to know her own condition .

「That's fine, but here is a little impossible . I will grow to 5 meters . 」

「Standard size, huh? Your Majesty the Queen, may we borrow the courtyard outside the window?」

Yuuko-nee still nodded, but she groaned to Ao's proposal .

「Well, I think it will startle our soldiers . Roger, for now will you contact them? Tell them that from now on we will use the courtyard for training Sieg's white dragon, so they shouldn't be surprised . 」

Roger was waiting behind the scenes and said「yes」to Yuuko-nee's words as he left the room .

「Well then, first of all Sieg . Summon your Karza and go down to the courtyard . His appearance was unveiled at noon so they should recognize it, and if you take position first I don't think Kazane will be attacked when she transforms and then descends after you . 」

At Yuuko-nee's words Sieg nodded and said「I understand,」and after the Childstone was returned by Aka he went to the balcony outside the window and summoned the white dragon Karza . Then Sieg got on Karza and descended to the courtyard .

「Houho . That's my younger brother's appearance? Isn't it aesthetically pleasing?」

Aka looked happy as he observed Karsa . Ao also watched and said「that's right」with a nod .

「Well then, I will go . 」

Kazane also went to the balcony and said「Skill・Dragonization」as she jumped down to the courtyard . A pale blue light overflowed from within Kazane, which formed into a dragon before she descended to the courtyard . And like mirror images, the identical figures of a white dragon and a blue dragon were standing there . Both shed a pale magical light into the dark night .

「Wait a minute, hey there . 」

Aka looked even more delighted as he laughed while saying「me too」before he leapt from the balcony and released his true form .

「Ah, hey! Really, come on . 」

Ao sighed as he watched .

With a thud Aka alighted with the appearance of a large 10 meter red dragon . And that appearance bore a striking resemblance to the white dragon and the blue dragon .

『What's this?』

Blue Dragon Kazane was surprised as she looked up at that appearance .

「It's about the same size as that Black Rock Dragon . 」

Sieg murmured from atop the white dragon .

「Growing dragons tend to settle around that size . 」

With a thump Ao descended from the balcony and explained . The party venue's balcony to the courtyard was not a height that could be readily jumped down, but this person called Ao was also not a human being .

「At any rate, I didn't expect from what you said that you would really become a dragon . That appearance is an extension of the appearance of the dragon Giove . That means you are a branch dragon from Giove . 」

『I see . In other words, I now have not only a younger brother, but a sister as well . 』

『In other words, you're my Onii-chan!』

『Hahaha, little sister . Jump into your older brother's chest . 』

『Onii-chaaaaan!!』

Aka spread his arms, and Kazane and Aka embraced .

『Gururu, guru』

「Eh, yeah . Okay . 」

White dragon Karsa and Sieg understood each other, and Sieg agreed while being astonished . Karsa walked over and also embraced Aka with Kazane .



『I got a younger brother and a younger sister all at once . What a good day . Hahahaha』

『Ahahahahaha』

『Guguruuu~~~!』

Yuuko-nee and Yumika and the other members, as well as the surrounding soldiers, were dumbfounded as they watched the three dragon siblings .


「Onii-chan . 」

「Younger sister . 」

Even though they became humans again the two were still clinging to each other, and the surrounding people thought「enough already,」but Yuuko-nee only shivered a little . She was the only person who knew Kazane's taste .

Intelligent macho . This was Kazane's taste in men . Yuuko-nee knew that Kazane would drool over and mutter「I want to be held by them」while viewing gravure of muscular foreign models . Well, if one of the muscle models were to become intimate with Kazane it could only appear to be a crime, but from that point of view it was natural that Sieg wouldn't be muscular enough, considering his age . By the way, Audin also had a well toned body, but it was the slim and handsome body type . Besides, the old man Audin left a bad impression in the battle against Diablo . That's why to Kazane he was a no thank you . By the way, the Heroic Spirit Sieg's face matched her aesthetics, but under his clothes was a terrible match . Super scraggly .

And since he didn't seem to be an idiot and had red hair, a rough and passionate aura, and an appearance in his mid-twenties, Aka was a straight pitch for Kazane's taste . The opponent was a dragon, and even though he didn't seem to be wanting more than a sibling relationship so mishaps shouldn't occur, it was the appearance of an extremely powerful rival for Sieg . Or perhaps it should be said it wasn't even a match . Therefore, Yuuko-nee told Sieg:

「You must become that, Sieg . You cannot win unless you do it . 」

「Eh?」

Sieg could not understand the meaning of his beloved mother's profound words .

「Ufufu, Onii-chaan!」

Kazane was in supreme bliss as her face was buried in his firm pectoral muscles . It was the smiling face of a bad person being honest with their desires . That Aka was something like a family member did not stop her feeling .

「Ahem . 」


Ao's throat clearing echoed in this now chaotic place .

That was an excessively huge cough to the surrounding people… . but Aka jumped and stiffened . He could see the vision of a huge angry dragon, and that wasn't just his imagination .

(O, Onii-chan, is he getting angry or something?)

(He's serious now . For the time being, listen to him talk)

Like a perfectly loving elder brother Aka gave a warning from his own experience to Kazane .

「Since I don't want to leave it as a half-baked story, it will be fine to finish explaining, right?」

「「「Yes」」」

Everyone nodded obediently .


「So with that, the third purpose for which we came is accomplished . Although Aka's siblings increased by an unexpected amount, I've understood that Kazane inherited the power of a dragon, and in that case deem it acceptable . 」

「Yeah . I am also satisfied . 」

「Your satisfaction is inconsequential . 」

Ao glared at Aka with an irritated face .

「So you understood Kazane's Dragonization?」

Yuuko-nee asked in her feigning innocence Queen voice for visitors .



「That's right . Kazane becomes an existence equivalent to a Childstone summoned dragon . Frankly speaking, it can be said that she is both a human being and a dragon . 」

「So does that mean something else is inside me?」

After Kazane asked, Ao considered for a bit before he shook his head .

「No . Before transformation you're only a human, after transformation you're only a dragon . There isn't much difference from the dragon's transformation technique we use to appear as humans . Though it's likely there is a considerable difference in the consumption of Magic Power . 」

「That binge eats Magic Power . They get good fuel consumption? That would be nice . 」

Yuuko-nee's body double Iria grumbled .

「Well, Kazane should be allowed to immigrate to our village, if she were so inclined . 」

「I will welcome you . 」

Aka suddenly gave a thumbs up and Kazane said「waーi」as she dangled from his outstretched arm . His biceps were amazingly strong . As expected, Tiara's jealousy flared from yesterday's kiss and the current situation with the elder brother so she flexed her arm, but was moved to tears as her muscles didn't even twitch .

(I cannot satisfy Kazane . . . . . . )

Thus, from this day Tiara decided she would train her body . Whether what she wanted appearing was actually a good result was not the story .


In any case, Ao somewhat sharply continued to talk . Ao was considered to live fast among the long-lived dragon tribe . Even though they said that, there weren't many dragons that have lived as long as him .

「As for the second purpose, I will speak of that now; I would like you to deliver this item . 」

Ao put a dark red pulsating jewel on the table .

「It's a Dragon Heart . But it's extremely big . 」

Kazane saw it had the same shape as in the game and said that .

The surroundings somewhat stirred . There were a surprisingly high number of people who had seen a Dragon Heart in that place: Yuuko-nee, Jinrai, Louise, Mefirus, and Iria, and if the game counted Yumika had also seen it and was able to recognize it . But that heart was twice as big as any Kazane and the others were aware of .

「This is the Dragon Heart of our West Dragon Village's longtime enemy『Black Dragon Hagasu . 』」

「That was the beloved dragon of the Dragon Emperor Gaieru from the Human-Dragon War . 」

The conversation reminded Tiara of a fairy tale she had heard a long time ago .

「That's right . The wicked dragon that was once subjugated by Tsuvara's Hero King Tatsuyoshi was born as a reincarnated dragon in the northern dungeon and was released to the outside . 」

At those words, everyone except for Yuuko-nee, who had already heard, and Aka, who already knew, opened their eyes wide and looked toward Ao .

「Although reincarnated dragons from a dungeon have a Childstone core, it is by no means an inexhaustible supply of magical power . If they leave the dungeon they lose the supply of magical power from the Heart Orb, so the stone by itself doesn't generate enough magical power to maintain the dragon body . She humanized and escaped that place, and an allied group from our Dragon Village and the northern kingdom Ortho's soldiers pursued and successfully subjugated her . At that time she was beheaded by Aka . 」

After that was said Aka scratched his head bashfully .

「Well . She was a bit strong, but I was able to win . I also had this Dragon Killer . 」

He patted the hilt of the sheathed sword as he said so .

「But since we discovered she was born in a dungeon, it's possible the same thing will happen again . In the worst case scenario this heart would be stolen by her . Up until now our family have been sealing it, but there is an even more secure place . . . so we decided to entrust it to the East Village . 」

「That's how it is . Since God Dragon Emperor Naga is over there . We'd like Kazane and the others to go to the East Village with this . 」

「That should be fine, but wouldn't it be better to take it yourselves?」

Kazane asked the obvious question . A dragon can fly through the sky . Rather than entrusting it to Kazane's group, they would be able to arrive more quickly to keep it secure .

「I would very much like to do so, but this heart generates more magical power than a heart ball and is thus considered a weapon, and crossing human borders with it would be inviting unnecessary discord . 」

「What do you mean?」

「If nuclear weapons were moved, what would surrounding countries say . . . . that sort of thing . 」

Ao nodded at Yuuko-nee's remark . However, other than Kazane and Yumika no one understood the meaning of『Nuclear Weapon』so they tilted their heads .

「In addition, why I don't take it myself is a splendid question . With my position as an assistant in the dragon village I am reluctant to rile up not only people, but the other dragon villages as well by bringing such a thing to another village . Which is why I wish to entrust its transportation to people who have the same sealing technique as I do . 」

「The same sealing technique?」

Kazane tilted her head . But Kazane raised a surprised voice to what Ao said next .

「It's about the Item Box, Yuihama Kazane-san . 」

「You, maybe . . . 」

Behind Kazane, Yumika also leaned forward in excitement and asked . He could use the Item Box . As far as she and Kazane knew there was only one way that could be true, which revealed the true identity of the person in front of their eyes .

「My real name is Aoi Shintarou . Once a man, I became a dragon . It's likely I am the oldest living player . 」

Ao grinned broadly to the astonished Kazane and Yumika .

Kazane:「Right now I would like to settle a troublesome story before returning to normal business . That was Yuuko-nee's misunderstanding . 」

Yuuko-nee:「What?」

Kazane:「When I said『I want to be held by them』it wasn't a sexual meaning, but a muscular『Super like! Hug me!!』meaning only . It's completely different . 」

Yumika:「What you're saying isn't convincing at all, Kazane . Besides, didn't you you say you gave Jinro-san's macho group a wide berth?」

Kazane:「Muscles that are not properly managed are like weeds . Not beautiful, and moreover the sports types are a little . . . . . extreme . 」

Yumika:「Don't say cruel things . 」
