「「「Guruooooooo」」」

The Wyverns were approaching, accompanied by a loud sound. When I shut my eyes and curled up into a ball on the ground, I felt the Wyverns fly past me along with a terrifying wind.

When I raised my head to look around, I could hear people screaming, but I didn’t hear anyone bumping into anything or any groaning, so I’d like to think that no one was injured.

When I tried looking for the all-important Wyverns to see what they were doing, it seemed that they were chasing after the feudal lord army and playing around. If you thought about it, they could’ve easily defeated them, but they flew above the feudal lord army, and chased them away from the market.

「U, uwaaah!」

「Ru, run away!」

「Damn it~!」

Being chased, the feudal lord army scattered away as they ran away back to Frey Town. When they were a certain distance away, something came out of the Wyverns’ mouths. It was a white and glowing beam of light, and a column of wind (?) that was not visible.

「A, amazing!」

「What is that? Magic?」

「Perhaps, could it be something like the Breath?」

「Breath, you say, Dragon Breath?」

When the children from the orphanage, who were afraid at first, realized that the Wyverns would not attack us, they started observing them. It seems that the adventurers who were guarding the guild staff were looking closely at the Wyverns’ attack.

I see, so that was a Dragon Breath, huh. Rather dragon??? That? Were Wyverns dragons? I stared at the Wyverns. When I did so, I invoked『Appraisal』.

『Wind Dragon』

That’s what it said; they weren’t Wyverns, they’re dragons! Aaah! Looking closely, their bodies did not have the hide like the ones that we always saw as they were scales! In addition, they were much bigger than the Wyverns! 

「Everyone! That, they’re not Wyverns, they’re Wind Dragons!」

「What!?」

「Ehh? Ehh? They’re not Wyverns!?」

「Dragons!?」

Everyone knew that I was able to use『Appraisal』, so it seems that I was somehow able to convey to them that they were not Wyverns. Certainly, if it were Wyverns, they have been spotted before, but it seems that barely anyone’s seen wind dragons or wind dragons**, so it couldn’t be helped even if you mistook a large bird-type monster for a Wyvern. Encountering dragons was also a first for us, so it was not easy to tell that they were『Wind Dragons』through just words.

**TN: both the kanjis 竜 and 龍 mean dragon, though most of the time the first one is being used. The former is the simplified version of the latter, though some use 竜 to refer to Western dragons while 龍 would refer to Eastern dragons, which might be the difference here, but they all mean the same thing.

However, even though the monsters that we thought were Wyverns were Wind Dragons, it didn’t change the fact that there was nothing that we could do. While staying vigilant, the people from the guild confirmed that there were no injuries while continuing to watch the Wind Dragons.

「Y, you guys, take down the Wyverns immediately!」

「Wha, please don’t be unreasonable! There’s no way this number of people can win against the Wyverns!」

「Shut up! You guys should just shut it and do as I say!」

We were not being attacked by the Wind Dragons, so we were able to calmly grasp the situation, but it seems that the feudal lord army, which was currently being attacked by the Wind Dragons and had fallen into a state of panic, could not make any proper decisions. Or rather, if they were really Wyverns, did they expect to win? Ojii-san had hunted them one after the other, but the materials selling for a high price meant they were just that precious, and were hard to obtain. The fact that they were difficult to get meant that Wyverns were not weak, so it wouldn’t be easy to take them down. Telling them to take down such Wyverns, it should be impossible for the feudal lord army to do that.

However, most of those in the private army and the hoodlums had run away, but the people who seemed to be attendants reluctantly followed the feudal lord’s command and tried to attack the Wind Dragons. 

「Guruuu goaaaaaa!」

At that time, a rumbling that was louder than the ones we’d heard before could be heard coming from the Dragon Forest.
