Chapter 247: Drawing Up a Plan
Dianeia had brought some processed goods like sausage, seafood, and dried goods which Sakura then cooked into a delicious meal. We all sat around the same table and chatted while we ate. The dinner table was enveloped in a bright and cheerful mood but…
「I see….you completed your training. It must’ve been hard Nagini-dono.」
「No no, this was all necessary ssu….though the golem was scary ssu. Really scary ssu…!!」
「Mm mm, I understand completely. I sympathize with you from the bottom of my heart!!」
For some reason Nagini and Dianeia were getting worked up in a strange mood. The completion of her training should’ve been a brighter subject than the aura around them suggested.
I couldn’t help but feel that they were acting strangely when I remembered something…
「Ah, I forgot to ask, but where and how will this test take place Nagini?」
I asked and Nagini swallowed her food and took a sip before answering.
「The test will take place in the Dragon Country’s mausoleum ssu. The test will consist of resisting the Founding Dragon-sama’s power and aura ssu.」
「Resisting huh….it sounds like your defensive training will come in very handy.」
「Mmhmm, truly I think it will be very useful ssu. Well, since I’ll have to take the test by myself it won’t be like my training….but if I were to be a bit selfish I wish you could be around to see me overcome it ssu. Even if you were nearby I feel like I’d have more motivation ssu.」
「I see…hmm then maybe…I’ll take a little trip?」
I said and Nagini’s eyes opened wide in surprise.
「Eh….? Umm, really? You’ll really come with ssuka?」
「I was thinking about it…but do you not want me to?」
「No! Of course I’d love it if you came! I’d love it but….even if we call it a country it’s really a place without anything there ssu…the trial is something only available to the royalty…so I think you’ll only end up standing around ssu…I’m happy you said so but I think it’ll just be troublesome….」
Her voice died down as she spoke.
She must’ve felt sad even as she said that but…
「You don’t have to worry about it Nagini. I think going to see someplace new and unknown is also quite interesting.」
I’d be able to find my own entertainment so there’s no worries about that.
「By the way, if Master is going then of course I will be as well. I’ll bring the tea set so I think we’ll be able to relax and spend our time leisurely.」
「Me too, I’ve wanted, to go take a look, so I’ll come too.」
Sakura and Hesty said they were coming so I doubt I’d be bored. Furthermore…
「mu, if you’re going to the Dragon Country then I’ll cooperate as well Daichi-dono.」
Dianeia added on.
「Cooperate? What do you mean by that?」
「Umu. If you’re talking about the Dragon Country then I had set it as a location for teleporting in the past.」
「Ohh? So you’re saying we could teleport there?」
If I remembered correctly the only places Dianeia could teleport were places she had been to before. I was curious as to how she was able to take us there and she nodded before saying…
「Yes I can. When I was very small my Master took me there as a way to build my courage. I was only able to last a few seconds back then, but I still remember it was a place with no people, with a wide area so Dragons could land there, and a gigantic building for the King to live in…is it still like that Nagini-dono?」
「Ah, yes. It hasn’t changed since then. After all it’s a place where only people who are friendly with dragons can stay ssu…」
「I see. Then just in case I’ll ask you this…」
Dianeia said and pulled a scroll out of her bag and placed it on the table.
There was a large map drawn on it…
「If I were to point out…it should be here right?」
She said pointing to an area to the south.
「Ah, yes. That should be it ssu. The country should be around there ssune.」
「Got it…..then when you wish to go there I can help you out Daichi-dono.」
「I see. I’m grateful for the assistance…..then why don’t we take this opportunity and go tomorrow morning? We all helped out with her training so I’d like us to be able to see the results.」
The others nodded in agreement. It seems they were all worried in their own way about Nagini.
「Everyone……thank you so much ssu!」
Nagini cried out tearfully. Her voice wavered as she quickly bowed.
「It’s fine. But you need to eat properly so you can do your best.」
「Okay!! I’ll eat plenty to refuel for tomorrow ssu!」
And with that our plans for tomorrow morning were set. We would accompany Nagini to the Dragon Country to watch over her trial.
The prospect of this brand new place, the Country of Dragons made me feel a bit excited.
