Ayaka Shinozaki was heading towards a village in the plain of the dragon.
She had climbed up a hill near the broken bus, and discovered it by looking around.
She also consulted with the units, but it was decided that going towards the town that her classmates went towards wasn’t a good idea.
Ayaka wasn’t an ordinary human being, but at best she had no more than the degree of several times the ability of a person. However, her classmates were awakening strange abilities. It was judged that preperations were necessary even if she took revenge.
『Mental health unit here. The personality unit is producing an abnormality. It seems speedy treatment is necessary.』
A new unit appeared again.
“What? Because I said that I’d massacre them?” (Ayaka)
『Yes. It doesn’t appear likely that it will take more priority than various things about survivial. What will happen by doing such a thing now? We should prioritize surviving and returning.』
“I’ll think about that after everyone of those guys die.” (Ayaka)
Ayaka simply hadn’t thought of anything but revenge on those guys who looked down upon her.
Things like returning to her former world, or securing a foundation of livelihood in this world; such things were incosequential.
『The plan accomplishment unit is the opposite. By being met with unreasonable eyes she swore revenge. Will this be how things are as a human being? The treatment you are saying is to erase her memory, right?』
『Yes. As something that governs her mental health, I am unable to shut my eyes to her being seized with a desire for revenge and bitterness.』
『Such thoughtlessness, do not do things like erasing or fabricating her memory, oka~y? Human beings, are~n’t able to do such things normally.』
Even with saying so, Ayaka wasn’t a normal human being anymore at the moment. She was also troubled with them wanting humanity now, but there was definitely no way that she could allow a change of her memory or something.
If she allowed that, there wouldn’t be the existence of fragments of the self-identity and the like of her, who was nothing but a personality unit.
『Plan Accomplishment Unit, oppose』
『Mental Health Unit, approve』
『Diagnostic Unit, oppose』
『Medical Unit, oppose』
『Battle Unit, oppose』
“……Personality Unit, oppose.” (Ayaka)
『Judgement Unit here. Due to the majority of opposition, this matter has been rejected.』
It wouldn’t be more than her speaking to herself if it was seen from nearby. While doing such a thing, Ayaka finally arrived at the village, her destination.
With the village before her eyes, Ayaka thought in doubt.
At the small scale village, the area was surrounded by a fence, but it was thin and made of wood. How much meaning did it have with it only about waist-high? The defense was surprisingly negligent in a place where a dragon was wandering aimlessly.
『If I’m not mistaken, the town in the north has castle walls, and cannon-like things were installed as well.』
There wasn’t anything in particular at the entrance. Ayaka walked into the village as it was.
Ayaka immediately felt a hurried atmosphere.
The villagers were running around in feverish haste, and on the inside there were also people putting their luggage in order.
“Is it a moonlight flit-like thing, I wonder?” (Ayaka)
『It’s noon, though. Certainly, they seem to be trying to run away to somewhere.』
A villager who was placing their luggage on a cart, noticed Ayaka.
Although he was startled for a moment, whether or not he thought the other party was just a girl, he resumed packing immediately.
Ayaka approached the villager and called out.
“Hey. You there……come to think of it, I wonder what I should ask him.” (Ayaka)
She came to this village thinking that she could know something, but she hadn’t thought about as far as how should she do it concretely.
However, the problem was before what she asked.
“＠＠＠＠＠＠＠＠＠＠＠＠!” (Villager)
She didn’t know what they were saying at all.
Whether or not they didn’t want to be concerned, the villager looked away bluntly and returned to working.
『This is……wouldn’t it be the Translation Unit’s turn?』
『Don’t say absurdities! Why do you think I can decipher worlds of a parallel world without any kind of clue!?』
This wasn’t the place to gather information. While she was thinking about what’s to be done with it, another unit appeared again.
『Analysis Unit here. It seems to be a problem concerning language, but I succeeded in extracting the language foundation from the memory of the dragon that is in the middle of digesting currently. Won’t it help to understand the language of this world?』
“Hey. It’s been all this time, and I ate it myself, but……where did the dragon disappear to?” (Ayaka)
Ayaka patted her belly. There was the feeling of a full stomach after a meal, and although it got slightly larger, it wasn’t possible that the huge dragon that was bigger than the bus would fit tightly inside this.
Although she was desperate when she was eating, it seemed strange to try to be calm.
『It is being stored in the subspace. Ah, I am the Subspace Management Unit.』
“What is that?” (Ayaka)
『Would it be okay if you consider it to be something like the pocket of a cat robot? Our bodies are there as well.』
“Bodies?” (Ayaka)
『Yes. Our bodies imitate human beings; the target was to reproduce human beings, but we couldn’t construct the brain of a human being in a compact state. Therefore, we established a huge computer in the subspace, and we simulated human thought.』
“It’s a surprisingly mismatched technique, huh.” (Ayaka)
Though they could use technologies she didn’t know such as the subspace, the way to reproduce the brains of a human seemed to be heavy work.
『Because the reproduction of humans is a developing technique』
“Well, that’s fine, but can I throw in various things then?” (Ayaka)
『No. Please think that it is impossible to take it out basically. If you consider that the stomach to the utmost is something that gets bigger.』
『Okaay! For now, it’s reached the point that it can be used if it is the language that the dragon seems to have used. Because I will translate the conversation involuntarily, it’s fine for the Personality Unit to talk normally.』
“Alright. Well then, let’s try to listen. It seems you guys are in a rush, but what happened?” (Ayaka)
“＠＠＠＠＠＠＠＠＠＠＠＠!” (Villager)
However, what she heard was the enumeration of meaning-unknown sounds still.
『It’s no good, huh. It seems the language system is different from the dragon.』
“Well, it is a dragon.” (Ayaka)
It was an expected category that the dragon language wasn’t understood. However, the villager reacted conspicuously. The attitude of as though to say an odd girl came some time ago completely changed.
And, leaving behind their baggage as is, they ran off to somewhere.
“What is it? It seemed like he had become frightened, though.” (Ayaka)
While she was taken aback and looking, the villager returned while leading an old person.
“Err, that you can use the language of dragon-samas, is it true?” (Old person)
The old person asked in the language with difficulty.
“Hey. Is this translated? Why don’t you translate it normally?” (Ayaka)
『That is so. Well, actually their grammer has a dodgy feeling, but I’ll free translate there.』
“Yes. I can only chat in this language, but who are you?” (Ayaka)
“Yes, I am the dragon priest and the village head of this village.” (Old person->Village Head)
Towards Ayaka who manipulated the dragon language, the village head abased themself openly.
“Can other people not speak the dragon language?” (Ayaka)
“Yes. Because it is handed down to only priests.” (Village Head)
『Well, if this person can speak the dragon and human languages, by using that as a clue, you would be able to learn the human language.』
“So, they seem to be panicking considerably, but what are they doing?” (Ayaka)
According to the village head, it appeared that this village was on the verge of being attacked.
There were several villages in the Dragon’s Plain, which was said to be protected by the dragon’s divine protection.
This village was the core of the dragon faith that ruled the divine protection. It was one person only, the dragon priest, that could negotiate with the dragon, and that secret had been transmitted from the father to only one child.
The power of the dragon was absolute in this region; losing the dragon’s divine protection signified death as is. Due to that, in this village, it had retained tremendous authority in the limited territory of the Dragon’s Plain.
“Has that divine protection been lost suddenly?” (Ayaka)
“Yes. The presence of the dragon has disappeared as well. Thereupon, the lower villages rised in revolt……err, because we don’t do anything but pray here, we cannot fight and the like at all……” (Village Head)
It would have done a lot of political pressure if they rebelled without warning.
But, the likes of this village’s circumstances were inconsequential to Ayaka.
『If we ate this person, wouldn’t it solve the problem of words?』
“It’s said to not eat human beings, right? For now, isn’t it fine if I kidnap only this person and learn the language?” (Ayaka)
“Err, the heck is the great you……” (Village Head)
The village head was staring at Ayaka who started to talk in Japanese with a strange look.
『Step back a step!』
Ayaka followed the advice from the Battle Unit.
Katsun!
An arrow that came flying from somewhere pierced into the villager’s head. They were struck as a result of Ayaka avoiding it.
While watching the villager collapse in the edge of her field of vision, Ayaka searched for the source of the arrow.
There were warriors on horses that were trying to invade the village with weapons. The arrow was something the vanguard had fired.
“They are bearing a considerable grudge, huh.” (Ayaka)
『The next attack cannot be avoided! Defend your head!』
Ayaka doubted her eyes.
A single arrow was fired by someone.
It divided one by one in air, and downpoured like the rain.
“Isn’t this overdoing it?” (Ayaka)
It was like a wall approaching. Evasion was impossible, and she couldn’t escape from fatal injured in a little-protected place.
『Dragon Language Unit here. Please speak “Dragon Scales”!』
“Eh? A new unit again?” (Ayaka)
『Yes! Following the analysis result of the dragon, I am a sub-unit derived from the Battle Unit! Earlier than such a thing!』
“Dragon Scales?” (Ayaka)
She spoke in accordance with the instruction.
Thereupon, the approaching arrows were repelled just before Ayaka, and smashed.
Ayaka was let past the rain of arrows uninjured.
“Ah, aaaah, th-, this is surely the dragon’s……” (Village Head)
The old village head had been crouching behind Ayaka unnoticed. It seemed that they nervingly had been shielded by Ayaka.
“What? This is?” (Ayaka)
『Yes. The dragon has special powers, but this magic, is due to the dragon language. That is to say, such things as dragons being robust, flying in the sky, and breathing fire is an ability not well known of magic, but even if the principle isn’t known, it was identified that the abilities can be controlled by the dragon language.』
“Although I don’t understand it well, I can use the dragon’s abilities, right? Are there other things?” (Ayaka)
『Yes. There is Dragon Claws, Dragon Wings, Dragon Breath, etc.』
“It’s surprisingly simple naming, huh.” (Ayaka)
『In actuality it is a very complex incantation, but it is unified into a few words like that as a result of the translation.』
“Breath is breathed out from the mouth, right?” (Ayaka)
『No. As it is a conceptuilization of abilities to the bitter end, it is possible to produce it from anywhere.』
“So.” (Ayaka)
Ayaka pushed out her hand. She turned it towards the horse-riding army corps that were approaching the village.
If she had dragon skills, anything she did would be safe. However, they turned their arrows towards Ayaka Shinozaki. That was something she couldn’t permit.
“Dragon Breath” (Ayaka)
Those few words scorched the plain.
The scope of what could be seen in front was annihilated entirely.
Naturally, there wasn’t a place and the like for the enemies’ figures to remain there
“I see. If I have this, haven’t I become like those guys of the class?” (Ayaka)
Despite having perpetrated a mass slaughter, Ayaka was calm.
『Being negligent is taboo.』
“Well, for now I’ll learn the language from the ojii-san……what?” (Ayaka)
When Ayaka turned around, the surviving villagers were prostrating themselves before her.
『If it is this condition, it looks to me like any requests will pass. You should use what you can use.』
“Well, it isn’t bad if they are obeying me.” (Ayaka)
Ayaka was thinking that it was natural to tutor her, etc.
When Yogiri and Tomochika arrived at the royal castle, they were let past through the period of the audience immediately. It seemed that they had a conversation beforehand.
When they entered during the audience, chairs were lined up there, and their classmates were sitting already.
“Things like the school entrence ceremony have a feeling like this, right?” (Tomochika)
“N? Was the number of people like this?” (Yogiri)
Some of their classmates were dead already, but it seemed to Yogiri that a few were deducted from that.
He’d understand the class’s original composition if he asked Tomochika, but now wouldn’t even be the situation to ask such a thing.
Yogiri and others secretly went towards a row where no one was sitting in the very back. It was because now, it’d just lead to confusion even if they went out in front of their classmates.
Fortunately, it seemed that no one who was aware of Yogiri and others.
When Yogiri and others took a seat, from inside of the audience, a large build man came into sight.
It was a man in the prime of his life who was armed with a sword. He was wearing extravagant clothes on his body, but it was well understood even from the top of his clothes that his body was tempered. It seemed that the sword wasn’t for decoration.
On the throne that was in a slightly higher position, the man overlooked the sage candidates. There was no mistake: he was the king of this country, the Mani Kingdom.
——I see. Are the influential people here like this?
It seemed that you could fight by taking the sword for yourself. That, was different than the image of influential people who Yogiri saw up until here. Although, the heads of state that knew about Yogiri’s power just lost their composure and became frightened of him, so Yogiri’s experience may not have been too much of a reference.
“I’ve heard the story. It was troublesome all the way on the journey.” (King)
Tiresome. The king’s attitude was as if to say so.
“Well, this is also a job, it can’t be helped because it is within the contract with the sages. You guys are sage candidates, you’ve come so far for the sake of achieving exploits. So, the exploit-like things that you guys can do in this country are only two——” (King)
“Oi oi. For a while we been quietly listening to you being all self-important. Your citizens or something are of no concern to us? We came from a different world: we are human beings with no connection at all. Whether it is the king or something else, it isn’t something to care about at all if it’s from us.” (???)
Saying so, one of the classmates stood up.
“Err, who is the stupid person?” (Yogiri)
He recognized them for some reason or another, but Yogiri didn’t know their name.
“It’s Ushio Shinya-kun, but……I guess it was a person that can’t read the atmosphere so far……” (Tomochika)
There was no way it was okay to answer with such an attitude in an audience with the head of state. However, it hadn’t seemed that he was impatient with the classmates. It was shocking, but again, it was an atmosphere that couldn’t be helped.
“Hou? I was paying attention to your needs more or less as you are sage candidates. I prepared chairs, didn’t I? It is a place you’d kneel on the floor if it was as usual.” (King)
“No no no. Why is it just you looking down from a high position? What kind of reason is it?” (???->Ushio)
Ushio got closer to the king rudely. Thereupon, the king stood up, and came down the rostrum.
“A king, so what? Well, you should come down to show that you care. Is that fine?” (Ushio)
Although it was true, it was exactly a composition of an adult and a child.
Ushio’s height was appropriate for his age, but the king was one head taller, and furthermore, there was a wide difference in strength as a result of his large build.
“What sort of things happened until now to make him such a rude person!?” (Tomochika)
Yogiri also had the same feeling as Tomochika.
Whether or not it was a parallel world, this place was an independent country and the other party was the ruler. They should be paying maximum respect, but it appeared that the boy called Ushio had grown impudent to the extent of not knowing even such things.
“So, was it conveyed? You seem to be busy as well, if you do it quickly?” (Ushio)
“Gu, hahahaha~! Well, I see, this is the first time I saw someone taking such an attitude with me!” (King)
However, without even appearing to have cared about Ushio’s excessively rude attitude, the king laughed loudly.
“Eh? Is it that? What’s happening in this country?” (Tomochika)
Tomochika was taken aback. She wondered whether or not it was fine to permit that attitude.
“Have you thought about what you said even?” (King)
The king drew his sword.
And, four of Ushio’s fingers were removed quickly.
The significance wasn’t understood by Yogiri.
The midway wasn’t comprehended as it was over already, but if you looked from the results, Ushio’s fingers were cut because he tried to catch the sword by hand.
If you thought about it normally, that, as a defensive behavior, was impossible.
Ushio was staring at his right hand in a daze, but it seemed he was able to recognize reality finally after a little while. Crouching while holding his right hand, he screamed.
In response to that, the sage candidates finally started to make noise.
“Wh-, why! Wasn’t the time stoppage of the eroge baron meant to be invincible!” (???)
“So-, someone treat him!” (???)
“What’s happening! Damn! My skill can’t be used!” (???)
“Mine either!” (???)
Although the king looked down upon the crouching Ushio with coldhearted eyes, it didn’t seem that he intended to deliver the final blow. Whether or not he was satisfied with that, he calmly returned to the throne and sat down.
“What is the eroge baron!” (Tomochika)
And, Tomochika slipped into confusion and retorted.
Ayaka Shinozaki was heading towards a village in the plain of the dragon.
She had climbed up a hill near the broken bus, and discovered it by looking around.
She also consulted with the units, but it was decided that going towards the town that her classmates went towards wasn’t a good idea.

It was a man in the prime of his life who was armed with a sword. He was wearing extravagant clothes on his body, but it was well understood even from the top of his clothes that his body was tempered. It seemed that the sword wasn’t for decoration.
On the throne that was in a slightly higher position, the man overlooked the sage candidates. There was no mistake: he was the king of this country, the Mani Kingdom.
——I see. Are the influential people here like this?
It seemed that you could fight by taking the sword for yourself. That, was different than the image of influential people who Yogiri saw up until here. Although, the heads of state that knew about Yogiri’s power just lost their composure and became frightened of him, so Yogiri’s experience may not have been too much of a reference.
“I’ve heard the story. It was troublesome all the way on the journey.” (King)
Tiresome. The king’s attitude was as if to say so.
“Well, this is also a job, it can’t be helped because it is within the contract with the sages. You guys are sage candidates, you’ve come so far for the sake of achieving exploits. So, the exploit-like things that you guys can do in this country are only two——” (King)
“Oi oi. For a while we been quietly listening to you being all self-important. Your citizens or something are of no concern to us? We came from a different world: we are human beings with no connection at all. Whether it is the king or something else, it isn’t something to care about at all if it’s from us.” (???)
Saying so, one of the classmates stood up.
“Err, who is the stupid person?” (Yogiri)
He recognized them for some reason or another, but Yogiri didn’t know their name.
“It’s Ushio Shinya-kun, but……I guess it was a person that can’t read the atmosphere so far……” (Tomochika)
There was no way it was okay to answer with such an attitude in an audience with the head of state. However, it hadn’t seemed that he was impatient with the classmates. It was shocking, but again, it was an atmosphere that couldn’t be helped.
“Hou? I was paying attention to your needs more or less as you are sage candidates. I prepared chairs, didn’t I? It is a place you’d kneel on the floor if it was as usual.” (King)
“No no no. Why is it just you looking down from a high position? What kind of reason is it?” (???->Ushio)
Ushio got closer to the king rudely. Thereupon, the king stood up, and came down the rostrum.
“A king, so what? Well, you should come down to show that you care. Is that fine?” (Ushio)
Although it was true, it was exactly a composition of an adult and a child.
Ushio’s height was appropriate for his age, but the king was one head taller, and furthermore, there was a wide difference in strength as a result of his large build.
“What sort of things happened until now to make him such a rude person!?” (Tomochika)
Yogiri also had the same feeling as Tomochika.
Whether or not it was a parallel world, this place was an independent country and the other party was the ruler. They should be paying maximum respect, but it appeared that the boy called Ushio had grown impudent to the extent of not knowing even such things.
“So, was it conveyed? You seem to be busy as well, if you do it quickly?” (Ushio)
“Gu, hahahaha~! Well, I see, this is the first time I saw someone taking such an attitude with me!” (King)
However, without even appearing to have cared about Ushio’s excessively rude attitude, the king laughed loudly.
“Eh? Is it that? What’s happening in this country?” (Tomochika)
Tomochika was taken aback. She wondered whether or not it was fine to permit that attitude.
“Have you thought about what you said even?” (King)
The king drew his sword.
And, four of Ushio’s fingers were removed quickly.
The significance wasn’t understood by Yogiri.
The midway wasn’t comprehended as it was over already, but if you looked from the results, Ushio’s fingers were cut because he tried to catch the sword by hand.
If you thought about it normally, that, as a defensive behavior, was impossible.
Ushio was staring at his right hand in a daze, but it seemed he was able to recognize reality finally after a little while. Crouching while holding his right hand, he screamed.
In response to that, the sage candidates finally started to make noise.
“Wh-, why! Wasn’t the time stoppage of the eroge baron meant to be invincible!” (???)
“So-, someone treat him!” (???)
“What’s happening! Damn! My skill can’t be used!” (???)
“Mine either!” (???)
Although the king looked down upon the crouching Ushio with coldhearted eyes, it didn’t seem that he intended to deliver the final blow. Whether or not he was satisfied with that, he calmly returned to the throne and sat down.
“What is the eroge baron!” (Tomochika)
And, Tomochika slipped into confusion and retorted.
