The Dragon Car

A few days after the morning of the literal harem play.

A total of twenty-one saints, including Lan, were gathered in the stable – or rather, the Dragon Stable – provided by the royal palace.

Ran looks around and guesses, how they raise livestock.The cold, damp air had fallen and was drifting over the ground.

The soil is a little damp, and the footprints are sticky and numerous. The sound of crunching feet is like that of a frosty flower bed.

The taut weight of the ground tangled around the soles of their feet. The saints, who had set off in high spirits, were now talking less and less, and there was only the faintest sound of panting.

“Please wait a moment while I prepare it.”

The guiding knight of the Kingsguard bowed briefly and disappeared into the grounds of the Dragon Hut.

It’s an open space. The trees swayed and the wind blew occasionally.

The smell of animals, different from that of horses, made Ran unconsciously pick his nose.

The hut, which was of an unbelievable size, was filled with a dinosaur that reminded him of the dinosaur books he had been given as a child.

Sharp eyes, aggressive fangs. Like the dragons of the original world, they were revered as legendary creatures. The embodiment of myth. If it hadn’t been for the smell, Ran might have been instinctively excited as a boy.

“After all this time, I can still feel that we’re in another world….I can’t imagine this kind of thing running rampant in modern Japan.”

They vary in appearance from the lizards that are probably the most popular with children, to the four-legged herbivorous dinosaurs.

The surface of the body was shiny like armour and black in the sun. If Ran is not mistaken, the long-necked dragon peeking out from the end of its body was breathing a little fire from its mouth.

Some ground dragons spew reddish-brown gas from a hump in their back. The gas from the earth dragon danced in the wind towards the saints. It smelled like iron powder.

“I’m starting to feel like playing a hunting game……. If I make armor out of that black stuff, it will be a good armour.”

“I’m guessing from their appearance that they’re not very resistant to fire. I think it’s strong against earth and wind.It’s going to stop any intimidation.”

Ran overheard such a conversation from the boys.

If they’re looking for a hunting game, Ran has one. He bought the game because he heard it was popular, but it wasn’t difficult enough for him to conquer and clear it by himself, so he got bored and abandoned it in the end.

It’s a game that can be played alone if a person puts enough time and effort into it. Ran, a dry and uninterested person, doesn’t have the concentration or persistence to risk his life on a single game. He has no one to compete with and no motivation. It’s not content for isolated people to enjoy.

“A hunting game…….I’ve got it too. It’s been a while since I’ve played it.”

Sayaka muttered to herself.

“Sayaka plays those kinds of games, too? It’s a little surprising.”

“I started it because Yuri and Emi recommended it to me. It was quite difficult at first, but once you get used to it, it’s quite fun.”

“I stumbled into some difficult levels before I could get used to it…….Did that ever happen with you?”

“Aa……. Yuri-chan had mastered the game to the level of a professional, so we proceeded to play through the game quickly and easily. Before I knew it, I had cleared the game.”

Sayaka’s eyebrows are drawn into a figure eight and her mouth is arched. With a meaningful expression on her face, she turns her head backwards.

When Ran followed her gaze, he saw that Yuri and Emi were talking about the game with the boys.

Friend power, after all. This is the second time Ran has seen this, and it can be a hard road for a lonely person.

“If you have one, Kirishima-kun, why don’t you join us the next time we return to our world? I’m sure my data will be enough to help you.”

“You’re very reliable, but it’s no fun helping a beginner, is it Sayaka?”

“No, It’s not. I’m happy just to be able to play alone with Kirishima-kun.”

Sayaka starts flirting with Ran, flattening her modest breasts together.

The day a man enjoyed an orgy. Partly because he was in a good mood and said something unnecessary. That day – from the very beginning of the morning – Sayaka and Ran were on the verge of an awkward situation.

Ran was a bit worried about that. Luckily it didn’t cause any cracks in the relationship.

Ran was relieved and patted his chest. He looked up to see Sayaka smiling sadistically at him.

“I’m going to let you experience the unknown world, Kirishima-kun.”

“….., you’re talking about a hunting game, right? It’s not like hunting in real life, is it?”

Ran wondered if she was still angry. He was going to ask her casually, but the knight of the Kingsguard had just returned from inside the hut, and the opportunity was lost.

“Then again, I will find plenty of opportunities to talk to her alone in the future. After all, it’s just the beginning.”

“Physical condition and other things are in good condition. All Saints, please get into this carriage.”

From the open doorway of the hut emerged a land dragon and a carriage-like vehicle, pulled and carried by the knights.

◇◇◇

There is a unique magic skill called Absolute Creation.

It is a unique magic skill that was prepared to be given to the Saints, the warriors who were summoned from the other world to overthrow the Demon King, and in reality it is a vicious ability to create all things.

Weapons such as swords and hammers, but firearms, bombs, masturbators, love dolls and any other material that does not fit into the fantasy world of sword and sorcery. It can be created without any problem.

It is impossible to create a living being. But it’s an all-round skill that, with a bit of imagination and the knowledge gained in modern Japan, can be applied to any situation.

With alchemy, he can prepare armour, transport, clothing and small daily necessities as and when he needs them.

It’s a magical skill. If any party member has that skill, it will definitely come in handy.

“We had planned to ask you to “train” the appropriate vehicle for transportation on the spot, but due to some circumstances, or rather a slight mistake, we have decided to lend you the royal palace’s ground dragon and dragon carriage on short notice!”

With a rattle and a clatter, the chariot or dragon carriage, pulled by the dragon, came to the saints.

The shiny black surface of the body has a metallic sheen, giving it a mechanical impression. Roughly speaking, it is a lump of iron walking on four legs.

It bears no resemblance to the mythical dragon. It looks more like a turtle than a dragon.

The earth dragon’s fiery crimson eyes flicker as it glares at the saints below. It’s a very intimidating feeling, but they have to get used to it.

He or is it a she? – will be the saint’s comrades in arms on this journey, and could become important partners in life.

“The saints will be traveling in this chariot to overthrow the Demon King.”

The earth dragon roars in a low voice with a ‘guruuru’, as if reacting to the statement of the knight of the Kingsguard. The sound in the pit of her stomach made her feel fearful, but Sayaka looked up at the throat of the dragon with a curious look.

“In RPGs, the image of a party of heroes is strong on foot, so this may seem a little strange.”

“Are we going on a trip on that? It seems to stand out, but it can’t be helped if there is no other way.”

The ringleader who ruined one of the means mutters so in an indifferent tone.

By the way, the aforementioned alchemy. Among the twenty-one saints present here, there is not a single person who possesses the unique magic of alchemy.

They’re not trying to be stingy. It’s not like Shinzo Kawasaki’s physical attack reflection modification Axel Lolita, where if someone’s skill awakens, it evolves into alchemy.

For all intents and purposes, the student who was supposed to be given this skill is none other than Kirishima Ran himself. Originally, Ran was not trained in the Genus but was subjected to alchemy, and was supposed to play an important role as members of the class.

By the way, there is no need to explain the details of what happened in reality.

Whether it’s the summoner’s mistake or some kind of malicious intervention, instead of alchemy, Ran is trained to be a dependent, and is abandoned by not only the students but even the people of the royal palace, and is the only one who is hated.

After a few twists and turns, he returned to the classroom and established himself in his current position. No matter how it happened, the alchemy that should have been prepared was interrupted by the Underling Training of the Sexual Lunatic and lost its place. It has quietly disappeared from existence without anyone noticing.

This meant that the saints had to buy everything they needed for the trip locally, including transport and weapons.

Even though Ran’s will is not involved in this, the alchemy absolute creation, the Underling Training: Sexual Lunatic, and so on.He is a sinful man in many ways.

“We didn’t just lend you the chariot only, as it is a trained dragon for the Royal Court. It will be driven by an experienced master. Don’t worry about that.”

While listening to the explanation of the knight of the Kingsguard, several students stepped up to the side, surrounding the dragon carriage.

Ran wondered if they were checking its safety. They touched the outer wall and the wheels, and looked at each other anxiously.

“It’s creaking and it’s a bit scary.”

“And it’s going to be very bumpy. Even if you don’t mind the ride, you’ll be exhausted.”

Misuzu’s face clouded with concern.Next to her, Kanami, with her arms crossed, let out a snort.

“In a world like this, it’s not uncommon for the roads to be unpaved. If it shakes too much, our butt will be in pain…”

“The ventilation seems to be poor. I know it’s not polite to complain about something that has been prepared, but it’s going to be a pain to move around in!”

Yuri and Emi were also discussing something secretly, and looking at the dragon car with an eye to evaluate it.

The buzzing, chattering voices of fellow students overlap and grow louder. It is unlikely that they will be able to hear what is said, but from the tone of voice and the expression on their faces, the knights of the Kingsguard will be able to tell that the Saints are unhappy.

When this happens in the auditorium, the more serious students begin to whisper their disapproval. However, it does not stop until the teacher, who has had enough, scolds them to be quiet.

It’s been a long time since he’s been in the middle of a situation that’s typical for a student, Ran thought absentmindedly.

“As for the vibrations, no problem. I’ve asked my magician for a special blessing to make sure the saints’ bodies are safe.”

A small man in dirty clothes with a stubble beard appeared, hunched over.

Ran wonders if he’s from the Earth Dragon Hut. It’s a pretty poor outfit for someone from the royal court.He may be a low-ranking servant.

Wiping his reddish brown face with his hand, the little man sniffs his nose with his sleeve. His every gesture is devoid of any sense of decency.

He chewed on something, and then smiled, showing his teeth. The rows of teeth, chipped in places, were yellow, as if stained by cigarette smoke.

“A special blessing? So we don’t have to worry about shaking and ventilation?”

“Yeahhh, it will be fine….Well, I don’t think so, but if there is a problem and the blessing runs out, don’t worry, one of the saints who will be accompanying, will immediately reapply the blessing!”

One of the people who controls the earth dragon raised one hand to attract attention.

Seeing this, Kanami nodded in relief.

“That’s encouraging. I don’t really know what a blessing is.So it’s safe to say there’s nothing to worry about.”

“Eh, Kana-chan, have you forgotten what you learned in the classroom?　My memory is a little foggy too, but I remember exactly what we learned.”

“Did you?…… Funny, I thought I was good at studying–”

Kanami tries to dig up her memories as Saki prods her.

Right next to Kanami, Misuzu blushed and turned her head down. She poked Kanami on her side with her elbow.

“…… Kanami, Kanami! You see, I learned it. It was a time when Ran-kun and I…… were having sex every night.”

“……… Oh, that’s right.At the time, flirting with Ran was the only thing I looked forward to every night, and there was a part of me that was relaxed about it.”

Kanami and Misuzu looked embarrassed and glanced over at Ran.

Ran, who hadn’t heard them talking in private, tilted his head curiously. He smiled at them when their eyes met, and both of them turned away.

Ran was momentarily taken aback by the fact that they looked away. Inugami Nekoyama WanNyan duo’s shy, downcast gesture did not seem to hide any dark matter, so Ran decided not to pursue it.

(TL:WanNyan: Reference to a themed park for Cat & Dog. Cat for Nekoyama,Dog for Inugami)

“Kirishima-kun. Let’s sit next to each other in the carriage.”

“Sayaka, you are so……It’s not a field trip bus.”

Ran pat Sayaka’s head gently, even more than usual, because her head is sticking to him than usual.

Ran jokingly teases her. Ran himself may have been thinking a little lightly about this trip to subdue the Demon King.

Even if it’s not an easy victory, it’s unlikely to be a series of hardships along the way, since there are so many people, most of whom have the ability to fight in single combat, so to speak.

In that respect, Ran had been a little careless. And it was not only Ran, but all the saints present must have felt that way.
