I’m a humiliated, incompetent person, but I alone can talk to dragons, so I can choose all the SSS skills and loophole items I want to. I’m going to become famous and respected, so, to the people who humiliated me – Go die in a ditch - Chapter 75

I was on guard.

I stared at the entrance of the cave. 

I prepared myself so that I will be able to handle it if anything else came out. 

–But.

There was nothing further that came out from the cave. 

I was deflated, but still on guard, I asked Chris. 

“Is it okay to go inside now?”

“Yes. Even if there are some strays, if it’s my true friend it should be alright.”

“Is that so.”

“I’ll be with you, Master Cyril.” 

As usual, Jeanne, who understood the flow by complementing the exchange between me and Chris, offered to accompany me.

“Yes. Let’s go.”

“Yes! I’ll do my best!!”

“It’s okay with Jeanne but — Chris, what about you?”

“Huh?”

“You can’t go in with that body.”

“If it’s about that, there is no problem.”

 

While nodding, she skillfully took off a piece of a scale from her skin with the claw of her front leg.
She brought it to her face and — Fuh, she gave it a blow. 

　Chris’s scale was blown away, fluttering in the middle of the air for a few seconds before – it transformed.

The scale changed into the appearance of a small dragon.
It was one size smaller than the newborn Rhea.
It became the size of a small dog.

“Cu… Cute!!” 

When she saw it, Jeanne’s expression changed and she started to become very excited. 

 

“This… This is Master Chris’s?”
“What is this… Chris?”
“Hahaha. That’s my clone.”
“Clone?”
“Nice to meet you. Please call me Chibichris.”
“Chibichris…” 

 

I was slightly at a loss for words.
The small dragon that introduced itself as Chibichris. 

 

It had a similar appearance so it was no wonder Chris called it “my clone.”

If this small dragon was raised well, it would become like Chris — if there was this explanation, 100 out of 100 people would agree, that was how much it was so similar.

 

But
The only similar thing was the appearance. 

“What’s wrong?” 

Chibichris who tilted her head slightly.
That and Chris  — comparing while looking alternately at the original.
Very much – it didn’t look like the same person. 

 

“You can take it with you. It can only last around one hour, but it has all of my knowledge and memories.”
“It can last for only an hour?”
“Yes. Even for humans, when a skin is freshly peeled off, it’s soft and fresh, but in time it will dry up and become hard, right?”
“What kind of example is that?”

I slightly gave a wry smile, lightly teasing.
I teased about it but somehow, I was convinced.

I was still a little surprised, but I can’t be surprised at everything that Chris does anymore.


I turned to Jeanne who will have a hard time understanding due to the complicated topic and explained it to her. 

What did Chris tell me, I told Jeanne almost exactly as she had said.  

 

“Amazing… As expected from Master Chris, the child of God.”
“Hahahaha… Praise me more.”
“Hahaha. Praise me more.”
“They’re laughing like idiots, so you can ignore it ”

While saying that, I picked up Chibichris.
And, just like that, placed it on the top of my head.
It was like wearing a hat. 

Chibichris clung on to me with all four legs  

“I don’t have to walk?”
“Yes. Just giving direction and knowledge is enough.”
“I understand. Please leave it to me.”
“Oh yeah. If it seems like it’s going out, burn it at the stake. Taking in flame will make it last a little longer.”
“Not water?”
“Hahaha. I am the phoenix. Of course, it’s a flame.”
“Well, when you say it like that.”

Chris, Phoenix-type.
The legendary dragon that resurrected from inside the flame.
For me who was actually there at the scene of the resurrection, and gained the ability from phoenix from entering a contract, “If it withers, burn it at the stake.” strangely made sense. 

 

For me who actually witnessed the scene of the resurrection and contracted and had the ability derived from Phoenix, I was strangely convinced that “If it withers, burn it at the stake.”

 

“Okay, let’s go.” 

“Yes!” 

“Go go go-go.”

Accompanied by Chibichris on my head and Jeanne by my side.

I set foot into the cave – Thunder Mountain. 

 

Inside the cave, due to being submerged just until before, water droplets were dripping from the ceiling.

 

And because it was a cave, it was dark.

 

“It’s dark. Maybe we should’ve prepared a torch?”

“No problem.” 

 

Chibichris that’s on top of my head said that and began to shine dimly. 

 

“Wow.”

 

Jeanne was surprised. 

 

“What are you doing?”

“It’s… It’s burning.”

“Burning?”

“Yes, Master Chibichris’s body is burning.”

“…Ah.”

 

I understood and nodded. 

In other words, Chibichris has become a substitute for a torch. 

 

“Is that okay to do that?”
“For me, emitting flames is the same to humans as breathing.”

“I see.” 

 

It meant that there was no need to worry. 

But… They really were thoroughly specialized in flames, the phoenix-type. 

 

With this condition. [Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

 

“You will be able to eat and drink flames.” 

 

I said my honest comment.

But 

 

“That is impossible. I am the only existence that is immortal. I can’t eat anything.”

“Oh, you said that before.”

 

I remembered the original Chris’s habit. 

 

Anyway, 

 

We proceeded through the cave illuminated by Chibichris. 

 

As we proceeded, the ground swayed and something got up. 

It was the papercraft dragon that we saw earlier.

There were two of them, they appeared on time as if they noticed our intrusion. 

 

“Please leave it to me.”

 

Earlier before I could react, Jeanne jumped forward. 

She transformed, wielding a double-headed spear, she jumped towards the paper dragons. 

 

The strength of the paper dragons was almost the same as the one that appeared at the front. 

And inside the narrow cave, there were around two more.

Jeanne, who jumped ahead, kicked off the paper dragon in an instant.

 

“Fuh… It’s okay now!”

 

Jeanne turned around with a sweet smile on her face. 

 

“Thank you. Jeanne is amazing.”

“Oh, that… I still have a lot to learn.” 

 

Jeanne was being humble, but she was smiling happily. 

 

At the same time, with this victory, she seemed to gain confidence. 

 

“Moving forward, please leave it to me.”
“Yes, I’m counting on you.” 

“Yes!” 

 

Jeanne nodded happily. 

Seeing her being so happy, I felt like I should just let her do as she pleased. 

 

We proceed inside the cave. 

It was a straight road so there was no need for Chibichris’ guide.

Instead, a few paper dragons came out, and every time they were instantly taken down by Jeanne. 

 

Partly due to the narrow inside of the cave, it was always almost a one-to-one situation so Jeanne overwhelmed the paper dragons. 

 

We continued to proceed and we reached the end. 

 

There was no road, instead, there was a low pedestal, and a vase-like object was placed on it. 

 

“Hmm… What should we do with this?”

“It’s a barrier. Do the ritual to open the road.”

“I see. What should I do?”

“It’s the same as a contract.”

 

Chibichris said that and got down from my head. 

And she cast a spell on the vessel.  

It was a familiar magic circle, it was the magic circle when entering a contract with a dragon. 

 

“Hmm..”

 

I nodded, in an experienced manner, I cut the pad of my index finger and dripped a drop of my blood inside the vase. 

 

As soon as I did it, there was a loud sound that echoed through the whole cave. 

 

“What is it?” 

“This is… Huh..”

 

At that moment, a large amount of water overflowed from the wall. 

Water filled the cave in a blink of an eye. 

 

“Master Cyril!” 

“Well, it probably will be okay.”

“Huh?”

“Wha?”

“Yes.”

 

I was calm thanks to Chibichris. 

-maybe it was better to say because of her. 

 

Well, it was my trust in Chris. 

Chris would never trick me. 

Even if it was on the level of something nasty, she won’t trick me. 

 

From the current situation, if this was “Normal”, it would be a life and death matter, but this was the very reason why. 

 

That was the very reason why I thought it would be okay. 

 

Sure enough, Chibichris was also maintaining calmness. 

 

“Just continue watching it.” 

 

She said, 

 

“She said we should just watch it.”

“Ye… Yes.”

 

After hearing my message, Jeanne slowly started to calm down. 

Meanwhile, the water level kept increasing and it reached our knees. 

 

And – it was swallowed by the vase on the pedestal. 

 

I quickly realized the incident. 

 

The water that continued being swallowed by the vase. 

It obviously exceeded the capacity of the vase, but still continued to swallow. 

 

“Ah..” 

 

Jeanne also seemed to realize it and she was completely relieved. 

I asked Chris. 

 

“Can you explain?”

“Yes. This is proportional to the size of my true friend‘s vessel.”

“Size of the vessel?”

“Yes. I said this before.”

“Before?” 

 

I frowned and tilted my neck.

Chibichris – no, Chris, among our conversation, I searched my memories for the exchange about “the size of the heart”. 

 

Then. 

 

“Ah… When entering the contract for the time?”

“Yes. My true friend’s size of vessel.”

“Hmm.”

 

I nodded; she did say something like that. 

Since then, there was no talk about it so I had completely forgotten. 

 

“It’s the seal of this cave. If the vessel of the person who wants to enter is not enough, they won’t be able to stop the trap and will drown.”

“Is that so?”

“The size of my true friend’s vessel is the key.”

 

I was being praised in a roundabout way; it felt a little embarrassing. 

 

And — the water stopped. 

Rumble.

 

The wall that was behind the vessel, opened to the left and right.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
