Chapter 44: 44: A late night walk [pt2]



Most people would not have recognized the creature but Amane had no trouble taking in the familiar energy it possessed.

"What\'s this? Some kind of wolf specie? It is so cute that I want to"

The pup bit Aqua outright. It did not even wait to see if Aqua would come near its face before its small but sharp teeth lodged themselves in Aqua\'s arms.

Amane quickly pressed open the pup\'s mouth to make it let go of Aqua\'s arm but the harm was done already. Blood was flowing out of Aqua\'s arms freely now.

"Ouch, it hurts. The fucker managed to break my skin so easily. Give it here so that I can get rid of it -"

Amane held the pup away from Aqua. her eyes were glittering amber because of her anger and she would do something foolish soon. Amane did not want to be responsible for any other injuries Aqua was about to suffer from.

"It\'s a dragon pup so you better be careful. From what I can see, this one is in its juvenile stage and is a little aggressive. I don\'t think we should let it be."

Amane held the pup close and the pup curled itself in her arms. The pup trusted Amane enough to let her hold its body.

\'Must be because I smell familiar to this pup. I did leave some of my ever-lasting incense behind for the Sunstone dragon as an offering. I guess this kid is related to that dragon as well.\'

There had been a story about this sort of situation a long time ago. Apparently, all deity dragons were female by gender and could only reproduce once in their life before dying.

The moon dragon in Amane\'s arms was the next deity of these lands and the kid of that Sunstone dragon Amane knew long ago.

"That pup looks like anything but a dragon to me. Let me just cook it up and serve it as dinner. It would be better to get rid of such a rude thing."

Aqua seemed still hung up on the thought of revenge. The pup seemed to have a beef with Aqua as well because it growled as soon as it saw Aqua reach out to it.

"Stop playing around Auqa or you will end up losing your hand for real. We cannot let anything happen to this pup as long as we are on this island or we will all sink into a curse. This is no normal beast but a sacred existence."

Realization seemed to flash across Aqua\'s eyes as they shifted into a neutral shade of grey. Her angry expression also flashed away into an annoyed one.

"Sorry for my other half and her thoughtlessness. She doesn\'t think before she acts. So, what are we going to do about this deity? We cannot let it roam around freely like this."

Aqua seemed to have finally gathered her senses back. Her rational part was back and she made some good points.

They could not let the dragon pup roam around freely. It was too defenseless to take care of itself right now.

"Let\'s take it back to the base camp for now. Since this area is under the protection of the Divine Guild, then we should let them in on this discussion as well."

Amane played with the pup in her hand as she made that decision. The more attention she paid to the pup, the more it seemed to be relaxing.

From how Amane had every intention of hearing Charlie out and seeing what she knew about this situation.

But from what Amane had seen with the poachers and such, it did not seem like the Divine Guild had any idea this pup existed.

\'What did I get myself into now? Why did I think that this was going to be an easy and peaceful vacation?\'

Maybe that was where Amane had gone wrong this time and she had no one else to blame but herself either.

And now she felt responsible for the small pup in her hands who might as well be the last link between herself and her friend.

"Ugh! It would have been easier on me if you were somewhat grown up. I would not have to take you with me to look after."

The pup only grinned back at Amane with a loop-side smile. Its eyes held joy at seeing the female pay attention.

The pup had imprinted on Amane due to her familiar scent and now was thinking of her as a pseudo-caretaker. It was so irritating but adorable at the same time.

"Yoko, why is it taking you so long to come back? The woods are not safe at night…what did you do? No, I don\'t want to know what you did and what kind of trouble you got into. Just come back with me so that I can wipe my hand off of you."

Sakura looked resigned at seeing Amane with a pup in her hands.

\'As if Sakura would recognize a dragon pup even if it danced in front of her.\'

"Let\'s head back. And Sakura, do you have anything we can use to bind some people with? I know you carry some restraints with you at all times."

Sakura\'s face was a vision for sure. It was a mixture of fear, annoyance, and shame all mixed in one. Her eyes moved quickly to glance at Aqua who didn\'t even seem to be paying attention to her.

"I..this is not….Amane, I don\'t carry around…"

"Sakura, I\'m talking about ropes and suck for emergency conduct. I know you can make some with your magic. I need to take care of some poachers."

Sakura\'s face finally calmed down as she finally released what Amane was asking for.

"Oh, that restraint. You should have said that before. Also, how many times do I have to tell you not to get into trouble? How did you manage to find the only group of poachers on this peaceful island."

Amane wanted to say that this was not the only group of poachers on this island but it was better to stay quiet now and to let Sakura finish venting her anger.

After all, it was not like Sakura was even aware of half the things coming out of her mouth so it will be alright.

"Aqua, help us out as well. Can you send a signal to Lady Suzuki to make them come here? I want to get this case off my hands as soon as I can."

Amane especially did not want to get involved with any more nut cases like these people. They were not good for her mental health.

"You have not seen the last of us. You might not know it but we are the members of a well-known organization known as \'The Hive.\' Messing with us will be like messing with our higher ups and then you will get into trouble and…"

Amane took the rope and made a knot before stuffing it into that man\'s mouth. Sakura gave her a stinky eye for sure but she did not comment.

Still, Amane felt the need to justify her actions.

"He was talking too much so I decided to practice noise control. Ahhh, it\'s suddenly so peaceful here."

The man Amane had almost choked gave her a hateful glare but he was not able to say anything against her.

Not that Amane cared even if he was planning her murder in that tiny little brain of his. He would not be able to carry through until the end.

"Lady Tsurugi, we got your message. To think that there were poachers on this island who went undetected….

Anyway, we have to thank you for your help in this case. Sean and I will go and take them back now."

Helios was the first one who came to the scene. He seemed to have taken it as a failure to see so many poachers still resent on the land.

Had Amane been a better person, she would have consoled him and told him that it was not his fault this happened.

But she refused to be that person and instead washed her hands off this mess entirely.

\'Yeah, bish, not my problem what you do with your security.\'

"By the way, what are you holding in your hands Lady Tsurugi? I don\'t think it\'s a precious resource but it doesn\'t look like nothing as well."

Sean pointed toward the wiggling pup in Amane\'s hands which had somehow gone unnoticed all this while.

The most interested person in the group looking at her was definitely Charlie but Eclipse looked stunned as well.

"This? This is a moon dragon. Don\'t worry too much about it and focus on what you were doing. I will take care of this little one."

If Amane expected these people to take her words gracefully, then that did not happen. Everyone froze as one before chaos erupted all around the group.

"What did you say that was? Isn\'t that a story-"

"Holy! We need to make a report of that and-"

"Yoko, you promised that you will not cause any trouble. Then what the hell is this in your hands?"

Everyone seemed too stunned to speak up and it gave Amane a small headache. The pup in her arms seemed distressed as well at seeing Amane\'s emotions rise.

"Ok everyone, back down a bit or you\'ll overwhelm the pup. And then I will not take any responsibility."

Amane\'s words caused everyone to back down. A dragon was a dragon even when it was a kid dragon.

No one wanted to be the next meal of this dragon pup or to get hurt by it. Aqua even rubbed her treated arm at the feeling of those fangs.

Everyone looked toward Lady Suzuki as one to know what her opinion about this whole thing was. After all, this land was under the jurisdiction of the Divine Guild.

"Lady Suzuki, what should we do about the guardian deity? We need to make a report about this to the organization but they\'ll make a fuzz and call for the deity to be taken under control. Can we even allow that to happen?"

Sean looked worriedly between Amane and the pup. The pup was not happy to see anyone approach near it but it seemed pretty content to lay down there in Amane\'s arms.

That pup was letting it know that it was not going anywhere from Amane\'s arms and that any amount of force would be worthless.

"I can see the problem. Yoko, I am willing to trust you on this issue so you tell me what we should do about the moon dragon?"

No one looked surprised to see that the question had turned back to Amane. In the end, she was the one who claimed to be an expert in beast taming and it seemed to be more true than ever right now.

"For now, we need to find the central chamber and let this pup inherit the late lord\'s memories and powers. Until we do that, this pup will not be able to grow up properly."

Amane explained it all calmly. The pup\'s defencelessness had to be because it was not awakened yet.

Once it was awakened, it would grow beyond power and go to sleep beneath the earth\'s surface.

Then it would only be seen by worthy people or those it wanted to be seen by. The deities were just those kinds of creatures.

"I get it. But the chamber\'s location has not been known for centuries now. Luckily for us, there is an ancient tribe on this island that can help you out."

Helios looked frustrated as he said that.

"So that\'s what we will do. We will awaken the deity before the goons from BPS arrive here to ruin things."
