Instant Death

Chapter 2 - A scene that looks like it was used for CM insecticide

Translator+Edit: Thy Unsus

Galura Canyon.

Meandering, with it centered on the branching Galura river, it was an area which was composed of valleys and complicated cliffs.

The reddish-brown rock was exposed all over the place, and you were able to see the countless number of layers that were lying on top of one another there.

It had a harsh environment, therefore, almost no one came to this place. It was a zone which wasn’t even noticed until the route connecting Hanabusa and the Imperial Capital opened. There was only a train passing through that section even now, and the full particulars of it weren’t known.

There seemed to be a nation which used this area as a stronghold in the past, and there was something that seemed to be the remains of a road. There was minimal maintenance when they constructed the railroad, and Ryouta, the feudal lord of Hanabusa, had informed Yogiri and others it was possible to go towards the Imperial Capital by passing through the canyon.

“It’s a dead-end……” (Tomochika)

Looking a couple of times again, Tomochika breathed a sigh in the driver’s seat of the armoured vehicle.

The road on the edge of the cliff was interrupted. It appeared that the road was correct because there was the wreckage of the bridge, but that didn’t necessarily become any kind of comfort.

“Hey. I think we have to go to the Imperial Capital?” (Yogiri)

“You’re saying that now!? Even if that question is true, I wonder if he could have told us before we departed!” (Tomochika)

When Yogiri who was tired of this situation said something like a complaint, Tomochika retaliated whilst looking angry.

“It might be good to rearrange the situation once. That’s not the purpose of going through here, don’t you agree?” (Yogiri)

“That is correct. But, Ryouta-san also said there would be no problems!” (Tomochika)

“I guess he hasn’t used the road since the railroad was completed. He didn’t properly understand the situation?” (Yogiri)

The railroad in this area was laid quite some time ago. He didn’t know whether or not they could use the road they could use in those days now as well.

“Our objective is to return to Japan, and it is necessary to contact the sages for that reason. Although we should have mobilized together with our classmates by this time, the sages haven’t come to us yet?” (Yogiri)

“Eh? Is it fine if we act nonchalantly in towns if that’s the case?” (Tomochika)

“I wonder if that’s also a plan, as although I thought that, I don’t know what they think about it. We were unable to even talk sufficiently as they turned up suddenly and started to attack.” (Yogiri)

And, the opponent would die without fail if he counterattacked. It wouldn’t be a good plan to wait to be attacked.

“Moreover, they don’t think at all about the town’s people, right? I’m fine, but isn’t it unpleasant for Dannoura-san?” (Yogiri)

“Yeah……” (Tomochika)

It seemed she recalled the disastrous scene of the town. Tomochika looked depressed.

“Well, I think we will be able to talk if the sage is Shion. We were summoned by that person and it was decided that we’d be sage candidates.” (Yogiri)

Yogiri and others were summoned to this world by the woman called Shion, and she told Yogiri and others to become sages.

Given that it was necessary to clear the mission imposed by her in order to become a sage, it seemed they could eventually meet her with that process. They may be able to obtain information on returning to their formal world at that occasion. Yogiri and other’s plan was only to that degree.

Of course, Yogiri and others also weren’t betting everything on this plan. It was very likely they would be able to talk to the rest of sages. It was enough that they thought so. If they couldn’t ask the story with Shion, it would be necessary to think about another plan again.

『I’ve been looking ahead a little, and even if we could go beyond this point, it’s a dead-end.』(Mokomoko)

Saying so was Tomochika’s guardian spirit, Mokomoko Dannoura.

Because she had a spirit body, she was able to move without being influenced by the terrain. She had gone out for reconnaissance, but the results weren’t something sweet.

“As it is, well, I have a hunch we can’t make it there……ah! Hey! Isn’t there a way we can go to the Imperial Capital reliably!” (Tomochika)

“That, perhaps, we run on top of the rails? We’ll be fine if the train comes.” (Yogiri)

Tomochika was looking at the railway bridge that had come to his mind as a wonderful thing.

“Uu……but, there’s no signs it is running at present! Isn’t the train not coming yet if the town is like that?” (Tomochika)

“I see. So, if by any chance it does turn up, I’ll kill the train for the sake of defending myself. Although I don’t know what kind of outcome it will have, I don’t think it will become something very pleasant.” (Yogiri)

“I understand! I think it’s fine if we retrace our steps for now and search for another road!” (Tomochika)

Tomochika reversed the armoured vehicle slowly.

However, there was a *thud* noise immediately and the armoured vehicle wouldn’t move. They had bumped into something.

“Eh?” (Tomochika)

There wasn’t anything projected in the sideview mirror, and they would have been unable to come up to here if there was an obstacle from the start.

“I think that there’s nothing there.” (Tomochika)

Tomochika thought it was strange, and opened the door and looked into the back.

Tomochika immediately came back and shut the door in a rush.

“So, something’s there! It was long and thin! It was tail-like!” (Tomochika)

“What is it?” (Yogiri)

Yogiri also opened the door and looked back.

There was a huge face turned this towards this direction. It was a living thing with a face similar to the mix of a bird and a reptile.

The eyes were staring straight at Yogiri.

“It’s a dragon. This fellow is similar to the one who attacked the bus. I wonder if they love cars as I thought?” (Yogiri)

“You’ve already said the joke of their special habit! Do it in for the time being!” (Tomochika)

“No, why would I do that? If this place is the dragon’s nest, wouldn’t we be bad for stepping into here rudely? To kill it one-sidedly i” (Yogiri)

The armoured vehicle shook grandly just as he spoke. The dragon had rammed them.

The armoured vehicle appeared to have defensive power, but this place was a road alongside a cliff. They would simply drop to the bottom of the cliff with it repeating such a thing.

“It isn’t a situation to be saying such things!” (Tomochika)

“Well, it can’t be helped?” (Yogiri)

Yogiri killed the dragon. However, there was no change as they couldn’t move from this place because the corpse remained there.

While Yogiri was thinking about what was to be done, a roar resounded in the canyon.

Whether or not that was signal of something, something immediately came flying.

It was a dragon.

It was reddish, its skin similar to the rocks, and it appeared to be the same race as the dragon they killed some time ago.

“A lot of those ‘somethings’ came!” (Tomochika)

The dragons continued to increase before their eyes, and it reached the point that they were crowded together in the sky beside the cliff.

Their mouths were wide open, and the inside of their mouth cavities was full of fire. They would blow out their flame breath from there. The dragons were in war preparation.

“There’s completely an away feeling……well, they aren’t opponents we are able to talk together with.” (Yogiri)

Yogiri released his power.

Without even blowing out their flames, the dragons fell to the bottom of the canyon in drops.

“Aah, a scene that looks like it was used for commercial message insecticide or something like that……” (Tomochika)

Gigantic creatures that were about 20 meters in over-all length were losing their power and falling all at once. It was a grand scene.

And then, the canyon regained silence like nothing had happened.

“I don’t want to think about what the bottom of the canyon has become……” (Tomochika)

“But, it doesn’t change the fact we won’t move from this place.” (Yogiri)

“We need to move the dragon behind us somehow.” (Tomochika)

『What. It’s fine if you use your weapon if that’s the case. It’s alright even if you turn it into small pieces and throw them away, or it’s also fine to drop it to the bottom of the canyon with a lever trick!』(Mokomoko)

Tomochika was disguising the weapon she received from the invader as a part of her clothes.

As this weapon was transformable at will, it could be a sharp knife, or it was also possible to use it as a stable contrusction material.

Tomochika and Yogiri got down from the car.

They confirmed the corpse of the dragon. If they expanded the weapon to the space between the dragon and the cliff, it seemed it’d disappear.

“Eh? Aren’t we also able to make a bridge with this?” (Tomochika)

『That’s why, I said even if we could go ahead. Beyond this point has collapsed extending a considerable length. It isn’t a size we are able to compensate with that as one would expect.』(Mokomoko)

“Well, there may be some places we could go if we used that weapon……something came again!” (Tomochika)

Something came from the sky.

It was the same wyvern-type dragon so far, but they immediately realized it was drawing a line from the dragons so far.

“Something resembling a golden thunder dragon has comeee!” (Tomochika)

The dragon was shining with gold.

That figure that was clad in flashes of lightning, it brought about even divinity.
