The Demon Dragon Vivre Appears, Then Explodes To Death

I was right in the middle of a sea voyage with the slave girls.

But then, a gigantic dragon fell from the heavens.

Right in the middle of the sea.

“Now then, what should I do about this absurdly huge dragon?”

We were aboard a whale called the evil god Triton.

From its back, which had become like a ship’s deck, I looked at it.

Huge. It was an unbelievably huge dragon.

Its skin was black, and the scales covering its body were jagged and looked painful.

A jet-black aura was constantly emanating from its body.

I realized it was mana so dense it could be seen with the naked eye.

In other words, this dragon was huge and super strong. Yep.

“Triton”

『What is it, boss lady!』

Triton the evil god, now thoroughly reduced to my lackey, answered cheerfully.

“Go around it.”

『Understood……!』

Following my order, Triton swam in a way that avoided the huge dragon.

Cherge, standing beside me, tilted her head and went, Huh?

“Aren’t you going to blow it to pieces with an Explosion Potion like always?”

“Stop that. You’re making me sound like some kind of bomber man.”

“Aren’t you?”

No, I’m not…… yeah, that’s not the case at all (certain).

I certainly did bomb nuisances with potions…… but I wasn’t a bomber, I was an alchemist (proudly).

“There’s no need to throw ourselves into trouble.”

“I see, so it is ‘a wise man keeps away from danger.’ As expected of you, Master.”

I ignored Cherge, who occasionally said incomprehensible things.

Puffing out her cheeks, the maid pinched my upper arm. Hey, knock it off.

“If it’s unconscious, that works out nicely. Let’s hurry up and pass by. Though it would be nice if nothing happened just like this.”

“Master, that’s a flag.”

And then it happened.

With a voon…… sound, a huge ball of light appeared before us.

By the time I realized it was the dragon’s eyeball, it was too late.

Gwooo……! the thing raised its body.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaah! Huge waves!”

The sea shook just from the dragon moving.

If Triton’s huge body was rocking, then the waves were probably tremendously high.

“Hey, whale. Fly.”

『Wait!? Boss lady! That’s impossible!』

“Tch, useless fish. Then grow wings. I’ll make the wind.”

I threw a Wind Kite Potion, which creates wind.

The instant Triton sprouted wings, a tremendous gust blew across the sea surface.

Receiving the wind created by my potion, Triton took flight.

Or rather than flying, it felt more like floating.

“What! It is a huge dragon……!”

Toka-chan gripped her weapon and nervously looked down below.

That dragon thing was standing on two legs. That made it look ridiculously huge.

『Were you the bastards who dropped meeeeeeeeeeee!? Huhhh!?』

The ridiculously huge dragon shouted in fury.

The air and sea trembled violently.

From the shockwave striking my skin, I could feel, ahh, this thing was definitely lacking calcium.

“There is way too little tension here, it’s making grass grow.”

“Grass? Where?”

“Hehe, who knows……? Want me to tell you?”

That annoyed me, so I ignored her.

“I didn’t do anything, though?”

The slave girls were clinging to my body. The way they were trembling was so cute I almost wanted to take them home like this. Ahh, they were already mine.

『Don’t lie to me! You blasted that insanely huge sound right next to my face, didn’t you!?』

“Insanely huge sound…… ah.”

Was it the Sound Bomb Potion I used earlier to take down the wyverns?

I see, so this dragon got startled when it heard that sound…… heh.

“Mr. Dragon, what is your name?”

『I’m Vivre!』

“Then, Vivre-san. The one who made that huge sound wasn’t me.”

『Hm? Is that so!?』

He believed what I said, this guy.

Haha…… so this guy was an idio…… earnest fellow. Could a lady like me possibly say something as foul-mouthed as idiot? Of course I couldn’t (rhetorical question).

“Yes, the one who fired that sound bomb was that maid over there.”

“Hey now, Master.”

Cherge approached and latched onto me.

“Aren’t you the one who gave the order?”

“You were the one who carried it out! Come on, apologize to Mr. Dragon with a full prostration.”

“The only time I do a full prostration is when I beg Master, as my one wish for a lifetime, to get in bed with me.”

Get in bed? You mean sleep with me?

That’s a pretty cheap once-in-a-lifetime wish.

“It’s her fault.”

“No, this woman is reaping what she sowed.”

“It’s this junk robot’s fault!”

“No, it’s this junk bomber’s.”

『Aaaah, enough already! I don’t care which it is!』

Graaah! Vivre-san roared furiously. Whoops, he even spat fire along with it.

『It’s a fact that you caused me trouble! Apologize! Apologize! Apologize! Apologiiii……』

“Shut uuuup!”

He was starting to annoy me, so I quickly made an Explosion Potion.

I gave Cherge a no-look pass, and with smooth motions she loaded it into her launcher.

“Fiiire.”

The launched potion struck Vivre-san’s body.

Boom!

『Heh-heh! Like a tiny explosion like that’s going to take down Vivre the Demon Dragon!』

Boom! Boom-boom-boom! Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom!

『Wha!? Chain explosions!? The explosions are spawning more explosions…… and they won’t stop!』

By tweaking the gunpowder and oxygen concentration just a little with alchemy, the explosions repeated endlessly.

“Huh, have I done this somewhere before?”

『How terrifying! Ahh, how terrifying, how terrifying!』

Ah, come to think of it, I may have used the same thing on this whale too.

That was what I thought as I looked at Vivre the dragon getting hit with a nonstop bombardment.
