Chapter 29 – 29 – Nidroga
Vanir is a country founded by people who believe in the goddess of the lake.
Most of the nobles and about half of the commoners are also followers of the Goddess of the Lake.
But the goddess is very merciful. She did not kick out the other half of the commoners outside her borders just because they had different religions. Rather, she created a ‘temple of pantheon’ in the royal capital and nailed it to accommodate various gods.
She essentially made the land of the people she cared for into a neutral zone for her religion. Wouldn’t it be fitting to say that she is a representative of the International Peace Organization among the gods?
Thanks to such compassion, we have a wide range of options.
You can test which god’s hall will cleanse the Succubus Queen that you have already captured.
Of course, it was not very good news for the Succubus Queen.
[Hey, you crazy things! Don’t solve this!]
“I know. You’ll feel like a lab rat. You’ll feel like you’re listening to them discussing whether they should put this in hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid. But you know what.”
Eshen laughed brightly at the monster clattering the crystal ball.
“You shouldn’t have betrayed Goddess Neg. It’s the result of your choice. Accept it.”
[Kyaaagh-!]
“When you say lab rat, it reminds me of Villena. Damn. If you think about it, she’s in Vanir too.”
Eshen muttered as he covered the sealing crystal ball. Sister Monica, who was packing her suitcase, flinched.
I looked at Sister Monica as she lowered her head strangely and muttered.
“Villena? Who is that? Is it a party member I haven’t met yet?”
“···Maybe we don’t need to meet?”
Sister Monica says, flinching. My doubts deepened.
“Who are you? What are your aptitudes?”
“Villena Umbrella Nitro. I have no aptitude for it. If I had to classify my occupation, I would say ‘scientist.'”
“What is a scientist?”
“To put it simply, they are something like an apothecary, a witch, or an alchemist. In fact, they are new words that Villena herself created. She smiles darkly all day, babbles about something, and asks a blacksmith to make strange mechanical devices.”
“···If you happen to run into Villena, don’t listen to her for long. You never know what might happen.”
Her sister told her directly when she was young. Even if he looks like a villain ready to commit a crime, don’t judge his personality before talking.
You’re the type of person who can’t even embrace your sister’s philanthropy. I’m becoming more and more curious about its identity.
“Something like an apothecary or an alchemist? If you ask them to make a medicine, they will make it for you?”
“I will make amazing things, but I can’t guarantee that they will be safe… Hey, just don’t get involved with Villena. Don’t even spread the rumor that you heard this story.”
“···You’re not bullying your colleagues, right?”
The contempt I felt at the last party somehow overlapped with Eshen. I feel like I’m experiencing some type of memory violence.
However, Eshen and Monica, who had warned them to be wary of Villena, only showed purely fearful expressions without the slightest malice.
“Bullying? From us to Villena?”
Eshen was so horrified that she shook her head like a wet animal.
“Do you know what will happen to her? What if she ostracizes all of us?”
———-
“Is that what you think, Eshen Taiga?”
In the darkness, a pale silhouette petted a cat and muttered.
“It’s too bad. At least I thought we were friends.”
———-
“Fuck, what just happened?”
“Eshen, don’t say anything bad.”
“Yes, sister. But really, what happened? I suddenly got goosebumps?”
As if sensing something, Eshen lowered his head and looked around.
The ‘twins’, who had just finished preparing for the trip, appeared and looked blankly at Eshen, who was looking around as if he were a spy.
Nenya the elf and Lenny the knight asked with one voice.
“What is he doing?”
“What game have you invented this time, Eshen?”
“I feel like someone is watching and eavesdropping on me.”
“···The technical term for that is called paranoia.”
“I thought she only had anger management problems. I need to throw her in a veterinary hospital somewhere before she will come to her senses.”
“Wow, look at you talking like shit. Monica, Monica, Nenya, please say bad things to that stupid elf too. He’s trying to rob me as soon as he makes eye contact with me!”
“···What can I say? You’re older than me.”
“Sister. A more mentally mature person should be treated with respect. How many people are as deep inside as you? I respect you.”
It’s not deep…
When Sister Monica was greeted by Nenya with a smile, she grunted Eshen.
“I think you have a high mental age. You’re hundreds of years old and you’re picking a fight with a 20-year-old.”
“If we were to rank the mental age of our party, first place would be the sisters. Second place would be Tena. Third place would be me or ‘Nidroga.’ It’s clear who the last place is. Instead of using hair gel, she applied saliva to her hair to fix it. He’s the guy who does it.”
Who is Nidrogar? It’s a name that’s hard to tell what culture it belongs to.
···And Eshen? Do you clean your hair by putting spit on it? Like a cat?
Eshen, who was sulking when there was no one to support him, suddenly clung to my back like a cicada and started giggling.
“Our porter is on my side, isn’t he?”
I hung Eshen and sighed. Within the party, I seem to be completely accepted as a member of Eshen’s gang.
Some say it is difficult for a new employee to accept the beloved Eshen, while others say…
I was trying to do something similar to hazing, which was very unpleasant for me, but I gave up after hearing that Tena had picked him and Eshen was living with him.
I have never experienced a workplace with only women. But wherever you go, there will be political fights, and the atmosphere can’t just be warm.
I feel uncomfortable because it seems a bit calculated, but I will feel comfortable if Eshen becomes my pillar.
Even if our relationship wasn’t this close from the beginning, I probably would have approached him first. Thanks to Eshen’s powerful shadow, we can avoid conflict.
···And I will pay a protection tax on the sperm. Suddenly it’s really scary. Is this a profitable investment?
“What’s your side? Don’t bother the newbies.”
Nenya’s arm tried to shoot and pull Eshen down, but Eshen turned around to avoid it. Suddenly, like a pack horse, I began to move according to Eshen’s training.
“Hey. Hey, porter. You know that?”
“What? Did I just become your car horse?”
“No. Is that you or that bitch Adada?”
Isn’t this crossing the line?
While I was taking a step back, Nenya turned bright red and took out her cane.
“What did you say?”
“Well, they’re hundreds of years old, but they’ve never even been in love with each other, let alone been in a relationship. Why? The reason is clear. Look at their stunted growth. Would a man be attracted to them? Oh, I get heartbroken from love, but I don’t really get sick because my breasts are small. “You unfortunate fairy who can’t do anything…”
“···Among elves, there aren’t many with bigger breasts than mine.”
“Yes, congratulations. I hope you like it because it is the best among the wooden shell chest plates.”
“Hey, you come down! Let’s get up! You and I are going to die today!”
Party members passing by get scared and rush in, overpowering Nenya, who is swinging a cane, and taking her away.
Afraid of sparks flying, I charged back. With Eshen on his back, who was giggling to run through the wind.
···Is this party okay?
———-
Of course I thought I would take the train, but they said there was a faster way.
I’m riding a ‘comrade’.
“What does that mean? Just like Eshen, who is riding on my back right now…”
“···No, no. There won’t be everyone climbing on Tan’s back.”
Eshen seems to have become very fond of riding on my back these days.
Of course, I also like being on a boat. He is a vicious person who is busy draining my energy day and night.
The name of the means of transport is ‘Nidroga’. It was the party member I was wondering who it was a little while ago.
The identity of ‘Nidroga’ is, oh. Oh my god. Honestly, I couldn’t even imagine it.
I thought the drake landing pad was too big. But I just thought it would be easy to land, I didn’t know that you had to have a ‘landing pad of that size’ to get off.
I tried not to let out a dumb voice. Because it might be rude.
And it failed.
“Dragon···?”
“To be exact, they are Draconians. Half-human and half-dragon. They are a race that has both the identity of a dragon and a human.”
‘Nidroga’, who instantly transformed from the size of a house to the size of a human, said while shaking off dust from his red scales.
And he held out his hand to me. With an attitude that gives a sense of seniority.
“It’s a face I haven’t seen before. Are you a newbie? What are your aptitudes?”
“Oh, yes. My name is Ran. I’m a porter-“
Instead of trying to catch him, Nidroga pulls his hand away. He looked at me with startled eyes, then shook his head and held it back.
“I’m sorry for being biased. “I have bad memories of being a porter…”
···It was pointless to worry that he might be rude. Still, it seems to have become less awkward thanks to everyone being rude to each other once in a while.
“Not all male porters are criminals, but I’m not even a male porter.”
“Just because you’re a woman doesn’t mean you can feel safe. Do you know how the last party I attended got ruined?”
“How did it break?”
“It’s embarrassing to even talk about it. Let’s just say that there was a female porter who liked women and did all kinds of bad things, and was eventually caught in the act of misbehavior and taken to prison.”
Ah, porter. This damn aptitude is full of energy in the lower body. Regardless of gender, what kind of obscenity is this?
Please stop looking for a place to rub your genitals. Please use your remaining sexual energy only for quick and accurate transportation.
···That’s not what I’m saying. I closed my eyes tightly, trembling at the self-contradiction.
It was also an act of trying not to look directly at Nidroga. A slender body shape that is nothing compared to Eshen and the sisters, who can easily be said to be enormous.
Because Nidrogar was showing off coolly. She seemed to be wearing clothes that only covered her important parts with scales.
A body that still shows signs of transformation, but is as beautiful as the clothing model above.
Nidrogar subtly shivered what little of his carapace was left on his skin. I closed my eyes tighter.
“You don’t know how lucky she was to have transferred to this party before her spell stretched out. Now, step aside. You’ll have to transform again. I’ll deliver it to the City of Ten Thousand Gods in half a day.”
