The Wish Of The Dragon 58 Chapter 57
While they were looking for a spot to take off they saw a giant purplish squid nearby a cliff. For some reason, the squid has a leg of a human on it's lower body...Issei - Hm? What's that?Riche - What?... Ah! That's a king squidman!Kathryn - Oh, you're right.Ramius - The rumors said that they are a very rare ingredient.Gurigura - And taste very tasty too!Issei - Oh, is that so? Then I'll get it.Issei makes a quick work of the squidman before it tries to jump into the ocean, he throws away the human legs part though because no matter what he won't eat that part nor will he let his wives eat it either. Just the squid part is enough......Issei - How about around there- hmm?When they found the spot to take off Issei pointed to a somewhat open area and asked Kathryn but then he saw something wrong in the distance.Gurigura - A ship's being attacked by monsters! The pa.s.sengers are fighting back, but it doesn't look good...Riche - We need to help them quick!Issei - You guys get on the hot air balloon, I'll go on my own.After he said that Issei jumped into the sea and he ran across the water surface.Gurigura - W-Woah... Ise-nii sure is great...Ramius - Umu... To think he can run on top of the water.Riche - Just like the ninja on my manga!Kathryn - This is not the time to feel awe!The party rushed to get the hot air balloon ready, then flew off into the sky.When Issei arrived at the scene there are so many wounded people in the vicinity and he hurriedly kills every monster in sight at a fast speed and apparently, there's some Outlaws as well but Issei killed them all.The wounded people cheered at him when he killed all the monsters and Outlaws around them.Then he heard a loud scream of a woman. And he noticed that voice, it's Natal's.Natal - EEEEEEEEK?! Let go of me you mindless monster brute!She appears to be captured by tentacles with her skirt pulled up, Natal shouted at the monster known as a Jellyfish MK II.But all of her screamings is useless against a monster who can't understand human speech.The tentacles constricted even more tightly against her body and it almost made her pa.s.s out because of it.And the tentacles made its way towards her genitals and the thought of it taking her chast.i.ty away frightened her so much that she finally let go of her pride and ask for help.Natal - Someone... Someone help me... Aah, please help me!Just before Natal was overcome by despair, the countless tentacles were severed setting her free.Natal - Eek!She dropped down from the air and somebody catches her fall.Issei - Good, looks like I made it.Natal - Y-You're... Wait! The Monster!Issei - Don't worry.
Natal - What do you mean?! That monster is still- Eh?When she looked behind them she thought the Jellyfish might still be alive but its body is in pieces already. That Jellyfish monster is known for their regeneration but it seems even it can't regenerate after being cut to pieces like that.Natal - W-When did you...She never saw how did Issei manage to do that in just a few seconds. Even she struggles to fight that monster, but he can kill it in an instant.Issei - Are you hurt anywhere?Natal - E-Eh? No... I don't think- Ouch!She twinges in pain at her ankle and it is quite bruised.Issei - Hmm, it seems that you twisted your ankle. If you don't mind I could carry you to the nearby city. I also saved the pa.s.sengers and knights who were with you back then, they are wounded but it's nothing fatal from what I've seen so far. Don't worry about them, my wives should be arriving at this moment and took control of the situation over there. You can take it easy for now.Natal - ...U-Un... Th-Thank you...Natal blushed to see his face up close so she averted her face while conveying her grat.i.tude in a low voice. She never had any man that could take control of the situation like Issei before. Usually, it's her who's in command.Issei - Oh? So you can say thank you after all.Natal - Wh-What do you mean?! I know how to be grateful you know?! Also... I grant you the permission of simply calling me Natal, no t.i.tles or honors necessary.She pouted at him and then she tries to act prideful like always by saying she allows him to call her name without any honorifics.Issei chuckled at her words because he thought her pride won't let her say grat.i.tude towards someone else but apparently, he's wrong. She does have a funny way of conveying her grat.i.tude though.Issei - Ah, you're welcome then, Natal.He proceeded to call her name just like she wished for and smiled at her in amus.e.m.e.nt.Natal blushed deeply seeing his smile for the first time and she felt smitten by it. She has never been saved by another person before especially by a man, this is a first for her and she could say she enjoys being saved like a damsel in distress for once.Because people around her or the one who tries to court her is far weaker than her so she got no interest at them, sure some of them are quite handsome but what's the use of a handsome face when they got no power to back it up?Her requirement for a husband isn't that high, to be honest, all she wants is for her future husband to be stronger than her and can protect her from any harm and also can love her for who she is and not because of her family background. Sadly on the Humpty Kingdom, all the men here is usually a chef so they basically got low combat capabilities that it almost negligible. And most of them are courting her only because of her family background, there's no love included whenever they courted her.Sure there are some men who enlist themselves to be a Knight but their personality and strength are far too lacking compared to her. And most of the Senior Knights are already married or far too old for her taste. So she acts prideful whenever she met someone on instinct to make those who tried to court her only because of her background feels inferior and back off.But from the intel she got, Issei is already one of the richest men in the world, and he appears to be refusing any arranged marriage that comes his way by stating he won't marry anyone he doesn't love. And as for his strength? She already saw it first hand so there's no doubt about it.It appears the reason why he's promoted so fast in the first place is not because of pure luck or behind the scene manipulation as well.So he's basically the perfect husband candidate for her.Just like Issei expected Riche's party is already arrived on the scene and helping the survivors.Ramius - Good work as always, Ise. Oh, Natal?Natal at this moment is still looking at Issei's face while blushing and anyone who saw her face right now can tell that she's a girl in love... Riche and co who saw that smile wryly because it seems their husband has smitten another woman without realizing it.Riche - Ahaha, geez... I wonder if our husband is a natural born lady killer. Maybe he's Va.s.sanova on his previous life? (AN: Just a reference to Ca.s.sanova).Ramius - Umu, not that I can blame her either because he's too outstanding after all.Gurigura - Eheheh, Ise-nii is really a great man to even able to smitten a prideful girl such as Natal.Kathryn - *Sigh* I got nothing to say... Considering he can govern a whole race, it's no surprise he can also govern a prideful girl like her.The people who survived the ordeal thanked Issei's party profusely and after a while, there's finally Knights who had noticed something amiss and rushed out from the capital, only to be relieved to find Natal safe.Knights - Lady Natal! Are you okay?Natal who heard their shout finally snapped out of her thoughts and look towards them.Natal - I-I'm perfectly fine. This gentleman here saved me along with the others as well. But they are badly wounded so it's quite unfortunate.Knight - Well, as long as our
had occured (The floor is damaged when Jabber's monster form dropped down).
