Gumihou: I added the most details in this chapter. Just some stuff that makes a scene more exciting and immediate.
“Hey, stand back a bit, ‘kay? I need to check the door for any traps.”
Hyurumi took out something that looked like a stethoscope and began checking the gigantic double-iron doors.
Everyone took a step back as instructed and turned around to ...

The next morning---
Yesterday, after a very late lunch of Green Dragon Steaks, which was very delicious and well-received thanks to my skills, the ingredients and Japanese-made condiments. For dinner, at the Gluttonous Quartet’s clamorous request, we had Roasted Green Dragon.
For some reason, the Hi...
2023-12-26 08:10:28 +0000 UTC View PostOn my table was a large chunk of meat.
It was glossy red with a nice amount of fat on it.
It was similar to Earth Dragon and Red Dragon meat, but with slightly more white flecks. So, a little fattier than the other. [1] I have no idea whether it was because they were of different species or that this Green Dragon was more sedentary. After all, it only hung out on this island and cou...

The six High Elves gathered around with uneasy looks on their faces. I was unclear why they were like this until...

We had just put the Green Dragon into my [Item Box] when Sui suddenly bounced around my feet, pleading to be fed. [2] Normally, Fer would be the first to complain about wanting food, but I guess after my threat, he became a little less vocal.

We chased the Green Dragon further and further into the forest. Finally, we stopped in front of a dense mountain covered with vines.
“This should be the Green Dragon’s lair.”

Before I realised it, I was brought to the newly built inn run by Munami and family, which was finally completed during my two-month leave from Clearflow Lake Floor. Therefore, I was quite taken aback by this sudden unexpected topic.
Munami’s face was inching uncomfortably close to my metal body. She has a rather unassuming face, but i...

The party followed after Grandpa Gon, who claimed to know where the Green Dragon was. Finally, after running towards who knows where, Grandpa Gon gave the instruction to ‘Stop’ via telepathy.
“”I’m sure it is around here somewhere…””
Everyone (except for myself), started looking around expectantly.

Not a single house remained standing, all had been reduced to charred ash. Ramis gently touched the skeletal framework of a former house, only to see it crumble to the ground with barely any force.

Given the rate it was descending, they must be using magic or have the ability to float or fly in some way, because there was no way an ordinary person could freefall as slowly as that.
Not to mention, the figure was dressed in a rather strange way.
This person certainly g...

2023-11-22 00:46:54 +0000 UTC View PostHyurumi's seemingly reckless plan was going better than expected.
The strong wind continued to fan the flames and the fire that Hyurumi set was spreading away from us, leaving behind a charred and blackened trail of burnt trees.
Thinking that we could escape the main fire from the front by moving to the burnt area, everyone began to relax. Some were sighing with relief when…
Eguchi Ren: I’m late, sorry… (sweats)
“Haahh…”
“Oi, why are you sighing like that?” asked Fer.
“Geez, I wonder why,” I muttered with a glare. “Why don’t you take the time to think why!”
