Dragon Extermination 3 (2/3)

We finally arrived at our destination, even though the trip wasn’t what I would call safe.

We are currently halfway up Mount Pepe.

I’m not sure if we are blessed with good luck or bad luck but we encountered it the moment we left the airship.

“R-Red Dragon…..”

Allen got to the ground and stepped forward as the vanguard.

The words that escaped his lips, was the objective that we intended for.

The other members who followed along were petrified as soon as they took a step outside.

I was feeling the same way. What appeared before my eyes has confounded me.

“Two of them. That is indeed beyond my expectation.” [Tanaka]

Two enormous dragons resembling Western dragons have just entered the area below us. If you were to research information about the Red Dragons, their characteristics are actually easily recognizable.

The main issue right now is the size. They are about the same size as the airship. They are totally incomparable to size of the wyverns that we encountered earlier. Humongous.

“Ku–, going against two at once is indeed too much for a human…..What should we do?” [Fahren]

The noble mage was at a loss on what to do as well.

That is how serious the current situation is.

I wouldn’t know either even if you were to ask me. Seriously, what are we going to do now?

For the time being, let’s check their status.

This is dangerous.

Their stats are one digit different than the wyverns.

Name: Tanaka
Sex: Male
Race: Human

VIT: 7560
DEX: 9852
AGI: 4442
INT: 10922000
LUC: 329

 
This is wondrous as usual.

What an unbalanced status!

My level has risen alot since the fight with the high orc and the wyverns but, the most overwhelming stats of all is still INT. Nonetheless, the instant those guys unleash their largest damaging attack that exceeds my current HP, it would be a game over. What a thrilling design this is.

I really miss the times when the HP of my enemies were in the lower digits.

Name: Annerose Leapman
Sex: Female
Race: Human

DEX: 1521
AGI: 2830
INT: 1242
LUC: 891

 
Mercedes-chan, why is your self-declared name and the name on the status window different? Who the heck is Annerose Leapman? Come to think of it, I think this name did appear when I tried confirming her stats before in the prison. So is Mercedes her false name?

Well whatever. She must have a reason to it.

She did say that she was accused when we met for the first time in the prison.

I don’t have the leisure to be worrying about that right now and it is not something that I’m really interested in knowing either.

INT: 41942
LUC: 3291

 
The noble mage’s stats will come in handy. I will be using this guy. He’s a splendid war potential.

His INT is about 30% higher than the dragon so I can expect high damage from him.

Not only Sophie-chan but the name given by the blonde haired loli was also a false one? Well seeing that she is the daughter of a distinguished noble, it was kind of understandable. In fact, the reason for her false name is easily understandable compared to Mercedes-chan.

Or rather, Ester-chan, have you stopped being human? I mean half-human at least. No wait, now’s not the time to be worrying if she’s a human. In the first place, it’s not good to discriminate against people. Yeah it’s not good.

Rather, there is a bigger problem now.

The group sex team is weaker than I thought.

It would be bad if I don’t do something about this. There might be spells like BiKill, Haste or Rakukaja. 2There should definitely be a skill in hand that I could use. I wouldn’t know how we are going to pull through this fight against the dragons if not.

Passive:
Magic Power Recovery (MP recovery): Lv Max
Magic Efficiency: Lv Max
Language Knowledge: Lv 1

Active:
Recovery Magic: Lv Max
Fire Magic: Lv 3
Purification Magic: Lv 5
Flight Magic: Lv 55

Remaining skill points: 0

 
That was what I thought but, damn. I don’t have any skill points left. This is the consequence after I got carried away earlier and pumped all my skill points on the flight magic. It was difficult to adjust.

Well it’s no use crying over spilled milk now. I should kill one of the dragon quickly so I could level up. This might be the only way to ensure the survival of the group sex team.

You can always gain the experience on the scene. I’m the OJT type of guy. 3

Aa, while I’m at it, let’s take a look at Sophia-chan’s stats.

Name: Sophia Bacon
Sex: Female
Race: Human
Level: 12
Jobs: Waitress
HP: 209/209
MP: 82/82
STR: 30
VIT: 70
DEX: 130
AGI: 92
INT: 90
LUC: 98030

(EN:I swear these names, what is going on?!) (TL: Raw is ベーコン. Let me know if anyone has a better idea. Chalk it up to the author since we have Penny Empire and Republic of Pussy too xD )

 
What is up with this child. She has an excessively high LUC.

Bacon, you’re amazing.

She would be able to survive on her own even if I were to leave her alone, wouldn’t she?

Well whatever. Let’s go with this.

“I will restrain the two dragons’ movement. While I am at it, I would like the rest of you to concentrate your attacks on the right one please. As discussed in the meeting, I will be taking charge here.” [Tanaka]

If the noble mage were to concentrate his firepower on one of them, it might be possible to bring one down. The other members are present too so they should be able give him a hand. We could use them to draw the attention of the two dragons in the meantime.

If we could defeat at least one, then I would not be the only one who would be gaining experience. The rest of the members will be able to level up too.

And, once I manage to acquire skill points, breaking through this obstacle would be a breeze.

The other plan I had in mind was to shoot my usual fireball attack with all my power. However, if that is not able to knock it down, then a counterattack would be inevitable. I have already experienced this before with the wyverns. Naturally, the damage would be enormous if the opponent were a last boss.

Seeing that prioritizing safety is our party’s motto, we should conclude this after defeating at least one of them. My house is indeed important but, this party is undoubtedly also just as important at this moment.

After all, they did come all the way here after listening to what this ossan had said.

Okay, okay.

For some reason the tension has gone up as though I am in a boss fight.

By the way, the reason why everyone’s HP and MP have been fully restored was because a complete preparation was already made before we encountered this last boss. Regardless of the possibility of encountering the Red or Blue Dragon, we had already gulped down the potion to prepare ourselves beforehand. Although, I wonder how much is a bottle of potion. I was afraid to enquire the price.

“You, are you really going to fight them?” [Fahren]

“I guess it’s going to be hard, isn’t it?” [Tanaka]

As expected, it appeared that ossan is also scared this time.

Would it be better to escape after all?

Nonetheless I don’t think that all the members would be able to escape this place unscathed.

“In my opinion, we would be able to minimize our damage if we were to try defeating them rather than escaping.” [Tanaka]

I made the suggestion as I looked at him straight in the eyes.

It was a little embarrassing though, since he was staring back at me too.

That’s because he was making me tense with his gaze!

“…………….” [Fahren]

“…………….” [Tanaka]

There was a troubled look on his face for a split second.

However, he nodded in agreement to my proposal in the end.

“……I got it.” [Fahren]

“You’re fine with it?” [Tanaka]

“Fine? Of course I’m fine with it. The word impossible does not exist in my dictionary.” [Fahren]

“Thank you.” [Tanaka]

Although, he seemed bewildered right now. I wonder if it would be alright.

No no. This is not the time to be worrying about it now.

If I have known this would happen, I would’ve drunk alcohol to my heart’s content before coming here.

“Then, let’s go!” [Tanaka]

I tried to look cool by flying into the sky with my newly obtained flight magic. Kicking the ground, I soared into the sky with great force. The scenery around me passed by in just the blink of an eye.

Nonetheless, flying towards the dragon’s body directly is comparable to suicide. What would happen is similar to this scenario: Just as you switch off the light as you are lying in bed in the middle of the night, a mosquito suddenly appears, buzzing around your ears. Naturally, you will direct your attention to that source of noise.

I have a feeling that it would be an instant game-over if I were to receive even a single shot right now. It would be unbearable in various ways.

Footnotes

1. シアン・ビッチ = This is the raw for her name. ビッチ itself means ‘Slut’ in Japanese but it will be pronounced as ‘Bitch’ when you translate it literally. I left it as ‘Bitch’ since it’s a family name here but let me know which one you all prefer.
2. BiKill is a spell from Dragon Quest that doubles allies attack power, Haste increases speed while Rakukaja is a skill from Shin Megami Tensei series that increases allies defence.
3. On-the-job training (OJT) = Also called direct instruction.

    Iyo.
    Hmm. That’s odd. Tanaka didn’t talk about urine or his penis rubbing on random things at all in this chapter. Perhaps the original author was feeling a bit off in this chapter, because Tanaka was being serious for some strange reason. We should send the author a get well soon present.

    Judging from those stats, he could wipe out Group Sex Team in one good attack if he wanted to, but he’s a gentleman.

    Also, those dragons wouldn’t happen to be … gay would they ? I mean, two male NEETs living together and all. Either gay or very good friends.

    “Race: Half-Succubus”

    Sophie is half-succubus? This could finally explain the whole group sex thing. Why Ester acts like she’s never touched a man before? Why when they heard Allen and Sophie sounding like they were going at it only to find them sat on the bed fully clothed and just facing each other without even touching? It’s all Sophie’s ability. She using the succubus power to enter dreams and seduce people to pull the three of them into a dream so they can do sexy stuff with Allen without any consequences. It explains everything.
    Allen is brave but not suicidal and for a man of his rank to have played around with a duke’s daughter? If her family found out being booted out of the knight order would be the best outcome. More likely he’d lose his head. So9 he wouldn’t have dared lay a hand on her, so they brought Sophie in to solve the problem. Which is why Ester puts up with having to share with Sophie instead of having Allen all to herself.
    Meaning Ester really is a virgin and Tanaka is probably gonna go on thinking her a bitch without realising anything for a while to come……

        That’s….true. Not sure how I mixed that up. Doesn’t mean the rest of it is necessarily wrong, just have to figure out how Allen and Sophie were able to do it when she wasn’t with them.
        I’m pretty certain it’s something like that though. The situation they were in when Ester and Tanaka found them in just doesn’t make much sense otherwise.

            No, it was mentioned before that the women in Esters family all had huge magic potential unlike the men. So Ester is the half-succubus. I do agree with you that it is likely that she is a virgin. The author keeps on harping on it and making it an issue. Ester never says she had sex with Allen, but she never denies it either. Considering she is a succubus it might be possible that she used Sophie as a stand in and felt the pleasure that Cyan Bitch did simply by being in the same room. Ester being half a succubus is just mentioned here but why even bring it up? If the author needed a demon girl, he could just introduce one later, so making Ester one might be important.

  4. Bitch-Sensei

    For the first footnote I think it’s better for most people to understand that while Bitch in Japanese does mean in context Slut, it by no means actually should be considered the word Slut even if it’s not a name. This is because the word Bitch comes from the phrase “Bitch in Heat” which basically means Slut. As far as I can tell, ‘Bitch in Heat’ is not some outdated line that comes from Shakespeare’s age so there’s no reason to assume that the word Bitch only has to mean well, being a Bitch. After all to begin with the original meaning of Bitch is a female dog, which is where Bitch in Heat comes from, making it closer to the source than the currently appropriated term of being a Bitch.

    Point is, even from an English context, it completely makes sense.

  5. There was a netorare tag so I think that judging from Lolita’s reaction when seeing his junk, when he thanked knight for saving her, and when he grabbed her boob there might be a chance that she is stolen.

    1. Yes I am. Much apologies for the delay. I’m planning to make this a side novel to TL now since I would like to concentrate on Netooku and Yuusha Party first. o(_ _)o

      If you do find any other TL who would like to pick this up, please let me know. I would love to provide a faster release for you all but it might be hard due to my work. In the meantime I will still be releasing this whenever I could so it would not be abandoned. ;w; (still need to clear off the few chaps too)

      Utmost apologies once again for the delay due to my work last month.

      As I’ve said above, if you have found anyone else to take up on this series, let me know so we would not end up translating the same chapter. It would made me feel guilty delaying this since I am also a reader before I’m a translator. Therefore I would be glad to drop this series entirely after releasing my final chapter this week if you do wish so.

        It’s clear to me that you’re trying your hardest, and your work so far has been nothing short of generosity. I actually feel guilty for not being able to provide you with any donations.
