Isekai Tensei – Kimi to no Saikai made Nagai koto Nagai koto

Chapter 59: Just an enemy now

Neither of them are enemies or allies, but as expected, I don’t know what I’m supposed to think of this.

“Uwaaaan, what, what did I dooo! Please save meeee!” (Machine Dragon)

“Ufufu, ufufufufu! This is unexpected, this is completely unexpected! To think the machine dragon was so small! I can’t wait anymore~, to see what you taste like!” (Cleran)

The super small machine dragon trying to escape while crying and shouting, and the woman chasing after it with a full-faced smile.

A dragon about to be eaten by a human chasing after it, like, isn’t it usually the other way.

“Nooo! Miss, seriously stop! I’m, I’m, probably not tasty!” (Machine Dragon)

Thi, this is the dragon that’s called a legend among the Hunters?

“Oi, Farga, what’s going on.” (Velt)

“Since no information about the machine dragon being sold in Shiromu’s auction was disclosed even till just before it went up, we didn’t know what kind of body it had………” (Farga)

“To think it was that small. What should we do? Are we going to defeat her? Or watch it be eaten?” (Ura)

“I would feel guilty doing that after hearing it scream that much.” (Musashi)

Good grief. Give me back my resolve.

Like, I don’t know what I should start off being surprised about.

First of all, the machine dragon really does seem like it’s made of materials.

However, why is it so small? Because it’s a child? No, in the first place, can it even be a child or an adult?

“What did I even dooo! I got kidnapped by a strange group, got destroyed and put on fire after being kidnapped, and now I’m about to be eaten by a scary miss, what am I supposed to dooo!” (Machine Dragon)

No, rather than that, why can you talk in the human language.

There are way too many things I’m curious about.

Well, for now.

“Fuwa fuwa withdrawal.” (Velt)

I tried testing it out.

“O, owaaaa, what is this! My body’s getting pulled!” (Machine Dragon)

“Ara?” (Cleran)

I tried using my magic on the machine dragon that was just about to be eaten by Cleran.

Levitation (floating) magic fundamentally can’t be used on living things.

However, when I tried using it, the machine dragon was completely caught in my magic, getting pulled towards me.

“Seriously? You’re not alive? Even though you’re completely showing your character.” (Velt)

I caught the machine dragon that was pulled towards me.

“Thi, this is the machine dragon. As expected, it’s a man-made object.” (Ura)

“There really are profoundly mysterious beings in this world.” (Musashi)

Although it was reasonably heavy, it was to the extent that I could hold in my hand.

Also, its body is hard. It was clearly made from artificial substances.

“Gyaaaa, wh, what is this, even you! Are you going to eat me? Nooo, save meee, goshujinsamaaaa!” (Machine Dragon)

It’s struggling really hard, and I’m kinda feeling sorry for it when I see it make a fuss so shamefully.

“Was that you right now, otouto-kun? Snatching others’ game is common sense for Hunters, but as a person, interrupting someone’s meal is a breach of manners, you know?” (Cleran)

Cleran, who was about to bite into the machine dragon in just a bit more, showed a slightly scary smile while coming closer.

“Well, I just got a bit curious and just wanted to check it.” (Velt)

“Ara, really? Then, can you give that to oneechan?” (Cleran)

Cleran smiled sweetly and pleaded me while tilting her head, but saying yes now, means that this machine dragon will get eaten up completely.

“Noooooooo, please stop! I, I don’t want to get eaten! Please save me!” (Machine Dragon)

Well, what should I do?

No, rather than that, what exactly is this thing?

“Ah~, so in the end, what are you? Are you the machine dragon that was planned to be on the auction?” (Velt)

“Machine dragon? Ahh, the name humans call me by, right? Well, I don’t know. Goshujinsama was the one that made me.” (Machine Dragon)

“Haa? Made? A weird thing like you? Like, you say make, but can people make something like you?” (Velt)

“What do you mean strange! I am one of goshujinsama’s masterpieces!” (Machine Dragon)

This is made of materials? It’s such an emotional dragon that I’m hesitating to call it that.

Do these kinds of things exist since it’s a fantasy world? However, I can only see Farga making a face of wonder.

“You called yourself one of the masterpieces, right? Then do other things like you also exist?” (Velt)

“Ye-, yes. I had a senpai with a bigger body than mine. According to goshujinsama, my body is small because it was a miniaturization experiment or economising or something though.” (Machine Dragon)

“Maybe the machine dragon seen on the Divine Being Continent was made by this thing’s goshujinsama.” (Velt)

The probability of that is probably high.

But like, people really can make things like this in this world, huh. Fantasy is profound too. Well, it’s laughable that the reason why its body is small is for economising though.

“Sheet. Well, the truth that disclosed the legend is this……… that’s new.” (Farga)

Farga looks like he’s already a little letdown and lost interest.

He’s making an indifferent face.

“Hey, come on~, oneechan is starving right now~.” (Cleran)

In addition, I don’t know what this girl will do if I refuse here, and that would be more troublesome.

“Ah~, yeah it’s fine now. It’s fantasy after all, so it’s not like it would be impossible for it to talk, right? So you can just eat it already.” (Velt)

“Ooh! As expected of you, otouto-kun! You sure are an understanding person~.” (Cleran)

Guess it doesn’t really matter.

I obediently tried to toss the machine dragon to Cleran.

However,

“Gyowaaaaaa! Wai-, bro, seriously, please save me! I’m like, really, seriously just going to get destroyed in the stomach even if I’m eaten!” (Machine Dragon)

“Seems like it. But since this girl is an omnivore that surpasses a carnivore, it should be okay.” (Velt)

“Wai wai wai wai waiiiiit!” (Machine Dragon)

“Ahh, hey, Cleran. To be honest, even I’ll feel guilty if you eat it right here, so eat it in a place we can’t see if you’re going to eat it.” (Velt)

“Gyaaaa, br, bro! If you’re going to feel guilty, this is my once in a lifetime request, so please save meee!” (Machine Dragon)

It’s struggling really hard and clinging to my arm, not separating from it.

Furthermore, its body is trembling quite a lot. It must really be scared.

“I’m begging you! I, I need to return my goshujinsama, who I was separated with! Please, please turn a blind eye to me!” (Machine Dragon)

“Rather, why were you caught by humans. Weren’t you in the Divine Being Continent?” (Velt)

“That’s, a human suddenly kidnapped me the moment they saw my appearance! It was so sudden, they did it when I was walking around and exploring the outside world after summoning my courage because I usually can’t go outside of the residence!” (Machine Dragon)

“Residence? Like, if you’re living in the Divine Being Continent, then who’s your goshujinsama that made a weird thing like you? A human? A demon? Or else, a demi-human?” (Velt)

“I don’t know! I couldn’t see properly because goshujinsama always wears a mask and a robe! Ah, but since I felt breasts when I was hugged, she’s a woman!” (Machine Dragon)

It’s becoming more and more of a mystery.

Besides, it’s really suspicious for this thing’s goshujinsama to be always wearing a mask and a robe.

She feels like a suspicious witch.

“Alright, that’s enouuuugh! Geez~, don’t tease me~. Oneechan is mad you know?” (Cleran)

At that moment, Cleran took away the dragon from my hand, saying that’s enough.

“N, noooooooo! Someoooone!” (Machine Dragon)

The dragon started struggling again. It’s honestly pitiful.

“U~nn, hey, Cleran. You feel sorry for it when it is so frightened, right? Why don’t you let it escape?” (Ura)

“Umu. How about you overlook it here with a generous heart?” (Musashi)

Ura and Musashi who felt sorry for it turned to protect it.

However, Cleran just stayed sweetly smiling.

“Nooope. You two might think that now because you can understand dragon-kun’s words, but cows and pigs scream like that before turning into ingredients, you know? Since I always deliciously eat them while listening to that scream, I can’t allow an exception this time either.” (Cleran)

I see, you certainly have incredible emotional strength.

If it screamed every time I ate them, even I might become vegetarian too.

Either way, Cleran probably doesn’t plan on overlooking it. Well, I guess it can’t be helped.

“Eat it once we go back.” (Velt)

“Velt! Are you fine with that?” (Ura)

“Well, we don’t have a reason to save it anyways.” (Velt)

“U, uuu, i, if lord says so, then I do not wish for anything.” (Musashi)

Well, I do pity it, but making Cleran angry would be bothersome.

I’ll end it before I strangely get attached to it.

Farga doesn’t particularly have an opinion either and seems like he wouldn’t care whether Cleran eats it or not.

“Waaaait, silver-haired lady, tiger ear lady, try harder! Please persuade bro and save me from miss!” (Hachine Dragon)

“See ya. Don’t get caught in the next world.” (Velt)

I just turned my back on it like that and tried to quickly take my leave so that I don’t hear the dragon’s death agony.

However, it was at that time.

“Gyaaaaa, no! I don’t like humans anymore! The hell, this is unreasonable! I’m super super mad!” (Machine Dragon)

In that moment, my body naturally moved, and I took the machine dragon once again from Cleran’s hands.

“O, otouto, otouto-kun? What do you mean by this? By this~? Hey? By this~? Oneechan will get mad, you know?” (Cleran)

No, oi, wait a minute.

Why did ‘those words’ come out from the machine dragon?

“Oi, you scrap iron.” (Velt)

“Tha, that’s so cruel!” (Machine Dragon)

“You, where did you learn the words ‘the hell, this is unreasonable?” (Velt)

“Eh?” (Machine Dragon)

“Answer my question. If you don’t answer, I’ll make that woman eat you. However, if you answer, I’ll think about it.” (Velt)

“I’ll, I’ll say it! It was from my goshujinsama! Those were words that my goshujinsama said when she was mad one day, and because I kinda liked it, I just imitated her!” (Machine Dragon)

Words that its goshujinsama said? In a fantasy world?

“Oi, Ura! Musashi! Do you know what『flip』,『the hell, this is unreasonable』or『super super mad』means?” (Velt)

“………? What incantation is that?” (Ura)

“I am sorry. I do not know words like that.” (Musashi)

They don’t know. These two young girls in their teens don’t know.

As a test, I looked at Farga and Cleran, but they shook their heads sideways.

In other words, it means they aren’t common words in this world.

“Oi, scrap iron.” (Velt)

“Wai, bro, it’s so cruel how you’ve been calling me scrap iron since before! In the first place, I have a name I got from my goshujinsama, called『Dorauemon』(TL Note: Reference to Doraemon, which was basically my childhood lol.)

……… Oi, at least say that first.

“Oi, Dora-chan.” (Velt)

“Ah, why do you know the nickname goshujinsama called me by a lot!” (Dorauemon)

I feel like I’ve heard that name before.

In Asakura Ryuuma’s age, Japanese adults and children who live in Japan knew about it.

“Hey, Ura, Musashi, Farga, do you guys know about the Dora cat-type, heroic robot that came from the future, Dorauemon?” (Velt)

There’s no way they would know. Ura and the others unnecessarily tilt their heads.

It’s something that would be impossible to know about in this world. Does this mean something? In short, it should mean that.

“Oi, Dora. Where is your goshujinsama?” (Velt)

“I don’t know. Only the fact that she lives in the Divine Being Continent. Just like I said before, I never went out of the residence, but when I secretly explored outside for the first time, I got caught by humans and was taken along.” (Dorauemon)

The Divine Being Continent, huh. Of all places.

However, this thing’s goshujinsama is almost certainly the same existence as Miyamoto and me.

Above all, the people that spoke like out of fashion gyarus in that world is limited.

And, a certain girl classmate has actually said that to me.

――― Asakura-kun, what do you mean you aren’t going on the field trip! The hell, this is unreasonable! Come on, everyone’s looking forward to it.

Is it you?

“Kamino………” (Velt)

To think that in a place like this, in such a short period of time, I would find a clue.

However, what if it really is her?

“The situation has changed.” (Velt)

“Eh?” (Dorauemon)

“Dora. I’ll save you.” (Velt)

In that case, there’s only one thing I should do.

“Ehhhhhhhhhh, se, seriously!? Brooooooo!” (Dorauemon)

“Stupid younger brother?” (Farga)

“Velt, what happened all of a sudden!” (Ura)

“Lord! Ah, no, because you decided that, I will cooperate!” (Musashi)

I can’t let this thing die right now.

It’s not because of pity or kindness. It’s just as a clue.

“Otouto-kun, what are you planning? I’m going to get angry, you know?” (Cleran)

“Yeah. Could you overlook that? I’ll let you eat good food later. Maybe even my handmade ramen.” (Velt)

“……… I can’t……… since before, I have wanted to eat it so badly, that I can’t endure it anymore. If you be mean to me anymore……… then I won’t forgive you, even if you are Farga’s otouto-kun, you know?” (Cleran)

Well, of course, I didn’t think I could somehow save it by having a discussion.

However, I got a reason to still save it, no, a reason to save it no matter what.

“Sure, I don’t mind. If you want to eat this thing no matter what, then you’re just an enemy now. I’ll kill you.” (Velt)

“Hah? Kill? What’s up with that? That’s a word that doesn’t suit Mr diligent otouto-kun who doesn’t even have the smell of blood.” (Cleran)

“So what. I’m going to handle this high class, first-rate omnivorous girl.” (Velt)

I just can’t pull back on this.

Even if the beautiful lady’s face in front of me transforms into a scary, oni-like expression, that is.

“Hm~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~m.” (Cleran)

It seems I came into contact with the hungry beast’s imperial wrath.

“Tch, stupid younger brother. You had to go and do something bothersome.” (Farga)

“Geez~, Velt, why do like~, suddenly make actions that I don’t understand!” (Ura)

“Either way, as I respect lord, I will accompany him wherever.” (Musashi)

Regardless of my sudden action, Farga and the others stand ready while complaining, confronting Cleran.

In our current state, I honestly don’t think we can lose against this woman with these members, no matter who she is.

“Little bro, are you confident because you have four people? Certainly, as I said before, even I wouldn’t be able to win against four people……… if it really was just me against four people……… that is.” (Cleran)

Dazzling light overflowed from Cleran’s body.

“W, what is this light.” (Velt)

“Velt, be careful.” (Ura)

“I will take her on!” (Musashi)

What is she trying to do?

At that moment, Farga shouted.

“Tch, oi, get down!” (Farga)

Does Farga understand what’s about to happen?

One line of sweat is running down his cheek.

“This is troublesome. It’s a monster master’s third ability.” (Farga)

“Wha-, third? Do monster masters have that many abilities!?” (Velt)

While we became surprised, Cleran showed a smile and began talking while being in the middle of the dazzling light.

“Monster masters have three abilities. First, that they can understand all languages of living things. Second, is that they can master abilities from living things they eat. And the third one is that they can create a living thing they ate before, in exchange for their own mana.” (Cleran)

That’s too much of a disgusting ability.

A pillar of light that pierced the sky was made, and those pillars of light eventually split into three, gradually taking forms of something.

“In the past, Farga and I disposed of them, and I ate them up completely. Ufufufu, we almost died then, didn’t we.” (Cleran)

“Asshole, you damn woman!” (Farga)

“It’s been a while since you saw these children, right Farga?” (Cleran)

This is the genuine, classic example of fantasy.

“Fire dragon! Ice dragon! Wind dragon!” (Cleran)

The dragons among dragons. There were even three of them and they all appeared before us, trampling on the forest.

“Ara, it became four against four, huh.” (Cleran)

This mother really is doing it.

Well, it’s a seed I planted, after all.
