Chapter 270 \nChapter 270 â Let's Meet the Village Mayor\n
That day, Forn Village was flurried. After all, the giant dragon that had been appearing since a week ago had made another appearance, and Matthew and the others, who went to scout, hadn't returned yet.
Though considering the distance from the dragon's location to the village, not enough time had passed to think it strange that Matthew and the others hadn't returned yet. So the uproar was simply the overly excitable group making a fuss, but it was true that the village was shrouded in a great tumult.
Therein, the village mayor Morphia went to check the situation in the square. A watchman had reported that the giant dragon had apparently promptly left the island, but the well-being of Matthew and the others was still unclear.
Morphia didn't think they could fight that dragon and win. Even low rank dragons, Wyverns, were strong enemies for the Birdmen. That giant dragon seemed to be one of the highest ranking dragons, and Morphia thought that Matthew's group also understood that they wouldn't stand the slightest chance against him, but Matthew was one of the most aggressive people in the village. Hopefully nothing troublesome happened⌠Morphia thought with worry, and he waited while praying for their safety.
And after a short while, a lookout came running to the square from the village entrance.
Matthew and the others had apparently returned. But it wasn't just Matthew's group. There were also humans, a black chibi dragon, and a red chibi griffon with them.
Actually, Morphia had already heard that guests might be coming, so he wasn't surprised by that. But there was a strange scene there. Matthew, who was said to be the village's number one hooligan, was for some reason fawning over a short child like a servant as they walked. The world was full of confusion.
ăMayor, I've brought visitors from outside. Kazane-sama and her companions.ă
All the birdmen looked confused by Matthew being exultant as he made that announcement, and the village mayor Morphia saidăThank you for your hard workăto Matthew and the others. Whatever the circumstances, it seemed certain that they had returned with some kind of good result.
Then Morphia guided Kazane and the others to his village mayor's home and told them to rest inside for a while. After that, he himself called Matthew and the others to the assembly hall so he could ask them what had happened.
He was told that the giant dragon that had troubled the village for the past week had already left and probably wouldn't return. The group of humans that Matthew and the others brought were visitors from outside who wanted to explore the floating island, and they came to the village to get permission.
As might be expected, Morphia frowned when Matthew and the others reported that they had jumped to the hasty conclusion that the visitors were controlling the giant dragon and had tried to shoot them but had the tables turned on them instead.
The rules of the village stipulated that they shouldn't thoughtlessly attack people from outside, and even if it became a battle, they should act on the premise of self-defense. Matthew and the others had disobeyed those rules.
However, the people in question were reflecting and didn't seem like they would do it again. So Morphia felt that censuring them any further would be meaningless and only told them he would give them proper punishment for this time's affair later.
And after having only Matthew leave, he asked the other three about Matthew's transformation. As might be expected, he couldn't leave that change alone. But thereupon, Morphia learned the dreadful truth.\n
ăMayor, your voice is loud.ă
The three people were flustered by Morphia's shout. This meetinghouse was distant from the village mayor's house, where Kazane and her companions currently were, but they still couldn't be negligent. After frightening the three people, Morphia was self-aware that he had been more surprised than he had imagined.
ăHmm. Sorry. Then does that mean Matthew was affected by the Devil King's black magic?ă
The problem was there. Morphia had already heard that guests might come here. However, he had no idea the other party would be a Devil King. Moreover, if she had bewildered his citizen with some kind of black magic, that was a problem.
ăNo, that's not how it feels⌠how should I put itâŚă
ăAt least, it doesn't feel like he's under a domination spell.ă
ăHasn't he simply understood the true meaning of fear? Matthew-san is like a wild animal.ă
The three had dicey answers to Morphia's concerns. Morphia couldn't help but groan. At the moment, he was only obsequious towards that Shorty and seemed calmer than usual. In any case, when Morphia went to his home to meet the visitors, he brought a magician with him just in case.
â Forn Village, Mayor's House
ăWelcome to Forn Village. Let me introduce myself again. I am Morphia Angelite, the mayor of this village.ă
ăHappy to meet you. I am Morphia's counselor, Cook Ante.ă
After Kazane and the others had relaxed at the village mayor's house for about 20 minutes, Morphia and his counselor finally turned up.\nThey respectively replied with their own greetings to the greetings from the two. By the way, as usual, Tatsuo was treated as a Black Dragon child. Then Morphia divulged a certain thing to them.
ăI've already received a letter about you from Rynox-dono.ă
The White Party made considerably surprised voices after those words.
ăThat guy didn't say anything about that.ă
Jinrai replied, his expression showing how unexpected he found it. Rynox was Jinrai's close friend, so he was purely amazed that Rynox didn't say anything to him.
ăActually, we also talk to God Dragon Emperor Naga-sama through Rynox-dono. But the only people who know about it are people who have come here through their own power. It's stipulated by contract that they won't talk about such things to someone who has never visited, so if Rynox-dono didn't say anything, that's why.ă
Jinrai nodded, and Kazane muttered (so that's why Husband also didn't talk about it) in her mind. They were told that the Birdmen had been in contact with Hyvern Dukedom ever since the failed expedition.
ăI request that you also don't tell anyone about us Birdmen. That is the condition for free movement on this island.ă
ăThen it's fine for us to explore the island?ă
Kazane leaned forward and asked, and Morphia nodded.
ăWe are the people who live on this island, but that doesn't mean we own the island.ă
Morphia replied to Kazane while slightly pulling back. The surrounding members arbitrarily imagined that he was pulling back from his encounter with Kazane's high enthusiasm, but Morphia was vigilantly thinking (this girl is a Devil King).
ăThough this island is a considerably harsh environment for mere adventurers. People come to this island about once a decade, but most don't return from exploration. It's an unexplored region that we villagers are forbidden from entering.ă
From the start, considerable conditions had to be fulfilled for an adventurer to even come to this island. Griffons and Wyverns constantly flew around the perimeter of the island. As a result, if someone with a tamed Wyvern tried to visit this land, they would often receive a concentrated attack. The same was true for a 5-meter class dragon.\n\nName: Yuihama Kazane
