What Do You Mean, What?

And so, a fistfight that Kikori was not happy about began.

He dodged the attack of the cow beastman, who punched at him head-on, and landed one blow to his body, making the cow beastman let out a “Gugh.”

“You bastard!”

“Guh!”

Following the dog beastman who kicked him from the side, the metal staff swung up by the sheep beastman struck Kikori’s helmet.

Kikori was surprised that they had already used weapons, but the cow beastman was also holding a stick before he knew it.

“Hey! I saw that! The people around them handed them weapons!”

Orphe, who was in the sky, shouted that, but the voices cursing Kikori did not change.

No, the dog beastman had also received a club from the owner of a nearby shop.

It was more than simply being in enemy territory… It was far too much.

(What should I do? At this rate, if I bring out my weapons, they’ll probably curse me as a murderer…!)

“Kikori! I can step in now, right!? I’m stepping in!”

“No!”

“Why not!?”

Orphe shouted.

Well, of course she would. There was no reason to hold back against people who were punching him while shouting things like, “Die.”

There was not, but… if he drew his weapons here, there was a high chance he would become wanted. He definitely wanted to avoid that.

In that case… he had no choice but to do something without using weapons.

And fortunately, Kikori knew such a method.

In a situation where he had no intention of “doing that,” it was nothing more than a bluff.

It was nothing more than that, but… Kikori breathed in, filling himself with murderous intent.

“Oraa! One more—”

The cow beastman trembled at Kikori’s eyes glaring at him.

His movement stopped.

Kikori shouted.

As if asking whether he should kill them all. He let out such a “warning” shout.

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

War Cry.

The first one he had used since becoming a dragon echoed through the surroundings.

The cow beastman… no, the dog beastman and the goat beastman as well dropped their weapons.

Somewhere, he heard the sound of someone collapsing onto the ground after their legs gave out… and silence fell over the place.

No, that lasted only an instant.

“H-Hiiiiiiiii! He’s going to kill meeeee!”

Starting with the cow beastman running away, the surroundings fell into a huge commotion, and people who fled or people who tried to flee but could not move appeared one after another.

The sight left Kikori unconsciously staring blankly in astonishment.

“Wh-What?”

“…What do you mean, what?”

Orphe, her face pale, descended and whispered in Kikori’s ear.

“You probably meant to do that thing called War Cry. But that was Dragon Roar just now. Mana was mixed into it.”

“…Seriously?”

“Seriously.”

Kikori wondered how he should explain things to the guards running over, but…

“You are the culprit behind this disturbance, aren’t you!”

“Huh?”

“P-Please arrest that guy!”

“He’s going to kill us!”

Surrounded by guards with weapons pointed at him, Kikori held back Orphe, who was on the verge of snapping… and ended up being taken away to the guard station.
