Disciple of Immortal

Chapter 15: Peach Dragon Village

We were guided by Raigan to enter the cave for training.

「… That little girl did manage to do me in albeit using a surprise attack. Both of you lots will be treated as the attendants of that strangely strong little girl.」

Raigan pointed at Philia.

Does that really count as a surprise attack?

I mean, Philia was trying to defend herself when he was going to grab her and then knocked him down when he tried to wrestle Philia’s homunculus hand.

If such a fight was counted as a surprise attack then all fight in this world was counted as a surprise attack.

「And despite being a surprise attack, you did score a point from me, one of the twelve golden dragons. I will recognize that little girl’s strength. But let me to remind you that the Peach Dragon village is the place for the strong. Make sure that you stick closely to that little girl.」

「What is that twelve golden dragon you’re talking about?」

「It’s a general term for the twelve strongest people who distinguish themselves in the peach dragon village’s 《Dragon’s Trial》! Though such a title can be gained in your human world with eloquence, in this peach dragon village, strength is everything! We, the twelve golden dragon have high status in this peach dragon village, something like noble in your human society. Properly speaking, you humans can’t normally meet us!」

Raigan kept talking non-stop.

Though I heard from Ramiel that this place was amazing, since even someone like Raigan got knocked off by Philia, and knowing that he was one of the twelve golden dragons, now the peach dragon village and the twelve golden dragons look lackluster to me.

I tried to confirm it with 《Status Check》 and found out that Raigan’s full name was 『Raigan Lionel Dragoheart』 【Ｌｖ：212】.

Well… His level did put him among the S-rank adventurers in the human world.

From the human perspective, the gathering of these twelve people in such a small region might be something incredible.

But that also makes me curious about that 《Dragon’s Trial》.

Ramiel also mentioned that matter.

『Strong human will become honorary dragonfolk! As long as Kanata-san and co attained good results in the dragon’s trial, you guys will be honored as honorary dragonfolk!』

Honorary dragonfolk… Is it?

「Is something the matter, Kanata-san?」

Pomera asked me upon seeing me pondering about something.

「Ah, no, it’s nothing.」

I shook my head and back to pondering again.

「Eh…? Raigan-san, humans should be able to participate in that so-called 《Dragon’s Trial》, right?」

「Hou, quite confident, aren’t you? Give it up. Those harsh trials aren’t suited for humans.」

「That should… Allow us to receive certain titles in accordance to our achievement during trial right? If Philia gained a pretty high score, wouldn’t that make her the thirteenth golden dragon?」

Raigan was left agaped, his face was truly a sight to behold.

He clenched his teeth as he moved his line of sight from me to Philia.

「… That’s impossible.」

Raigan suddenly spoke in a frail voice.

「Raigan-san?」

「D-Don’t underestimate the trial, getting the title of golden dragon isn’t a simple matter, human! Don’t look down on us! Twelve Golden Dragon ain’t a trivial title!」

Raigan was flailing his arms, correcting his own remark from before.

「Then, Philia will become the thirteenth golden dragon!」

Philia declared so with bright, glowing eyes.

It seems the golden dragon’s title had touched her heartstrings.

「AH! If Kanata and Pomera are added, it’ll be fifteen golden dragon!」

「Golden Dragon ain’t such a cheap title!」

Said Raigan as he bared his teeth to Philia.

「Come to think of it, you implied a while ago that you fought another human, right?」

Raigan did say something along that line when Philia knocked him down.

『Impossible… This Raigan, defeated twice in succession, by the like of human…?』

Guessing from that remark, it sounds like another person aside from us had visited the peach dragon village.

「… Yeah, it’s just another human who got picked up by idiotic dragonfolk. A muscle-brained idiot. Is he by chance your acquaintance?」

「No, I don’t even know what that person looks like.」

「 Sixteen golden dragon…」

Raigan glared at Pomera when she muttered those words.

「M-My apologies! Pomera has no bad intentions!」

Pomera waved her hands and apologized in a hurry.

After that, Raigan just walked silently in front of us, like a sulking child.

「Pomera-san… I think that last remark hurt his pride. I think he can tolerate Philia since she’s still a child. But when you’re the one who says it, it looks like you’re looking down on him.」

「Sorry… But, maybe, it might really happen… I mean, the other who come before us seems to be fairly strong too…」

「… Oi, we arrived.」

Said Raigan while glaring at us.

「Y-YES!」

Well, sure enough, we saw light at the end of the path.

We raised our walking pace and upon coming out from the cave… A vast prairie spread before us.

Various kinds of flowers bloomed within.

Pink flower petals were swirling around the trees from where they bloomed.

It looks like Sakura, and yet different for some reason.

There was a long rived on the side that became a waterfall.

When I looked around, I saw a bird with seven-colored feathers or deer with majestic horns.

They were the animals that I’d never seen before in this world.

And also the figure of dragonfolk could be seen sporadically.

There was also a dragon statue placed in various places.

The building in this place kind of reminds me of the noble house from the Heian speaking, the Peach Dragon village achieved perfect harmony with nature while still maintaining elegance.

I doubted Ramiel’s statement before but, I had to say that she was correct in this case.

「T-This place should be a valley but…」

Pomera was looking around with her eyes wide open.

Even Philia keeps saying 「Amazing! So cool!」 as she looked around.

「This place is protected by the barrier that is connected to the dragon hole. Moreover, the magical power from the dragon hole made this place abundant with nature. This kind of spectacle can’t be seen in the human world that is filled with too many greedy humans who only think about resources the moment they see something like this. That’s why sear this spectacle in your memory.」

Raigan folded his arms as he spoke proudly.

Though he seemed to be really ashamed a while ago, he obviously felt proud upon seeing our reaction the moment we arrived in this place.
