I was reincarnated on an island where the strongest species live, so I will enjoy a peaceful life on this island – Chapter 212 – The day they met

A few days later, I’m with Reina and Snow outside our house.

Tiltue isn’t here. I’m pretty sure Graham asked her to clean up her nest back home.

“Fufu, I would’ve never expected you to come up with something like this.”

“Ah, rude. What does that say about me?”

“You have to admit, you’re not exactly well-versed in this sort of thing.”

I can’t deny that, but I’ve decided to do my best for the people I love.

Reina looks happy, and I think she can feel that from me.

“Thinking back, she’s been with me all the time ever since right after I got to this island.”

“Is that why you want to do this?”

“Daddy. Why are we waiting?”

Snow looks confused, in Reina’s arms.

I had everyone who wasn’t here at the time go away for a bit, but I didn’t want to leave Snow out of this.

After all, she’s family.

Of course, Xellos and the others are friends, but I ask that they understand just this once.

Their houses were reinforced by Wil, so they won’t break.

“Just a little long… Ah.”

“Luna!”

I’m about to start explaining, when Luna and Elga come running.

Both look amused, so it must have gone well.

“Everyone! Yahoo!”

“What you asked of all divine beast people is done!”

Both say at the same time, and the ground rumbles.

The source is in the forest behind them.

“Thanks you two! Now it’s up to me!”

“Make it count, Arata.”

“Yes! Leave it to me!”

Everyone stands behind me, and the source of the rumbling appears.

The emperor boar crushes trees as it approaches.

Last time, I was taken aback by its absurd size, but…

“I’m used to the absurdity of this island!”

“Nothing is more absurd than you.”

You’re quite right, Reina, I think as I jump towards the emperor boar.

A normal monster would be scared of my power and run away, but these ones only leave the ground when they’re hungry.

It can’t judge the situation properly, and keeps charging towards me.

“Uooooooo!”

I spread my arms, and stop the emperor boar’s charge like I did once before.

It’s big, but weak compared to Gaius and Tiltue!

“Bugih!?”

We ate the last one, so I’m pretty sure this isn’t the same one, but it reacts the same way.

Well, they sleep underground until they’re big, so I’m sure it doesn’t know me.

“Here it goes!”

I clench my fist and focus.

Not too strong, not too weak.

I sense Tiltue’s power far away, focus my magic energy, and punch towards her!

“Go emperor boar!”

The giant boar flies like a big rocket after a tremendous sound.

“Ooh… It’s flying…”

“Hahahahaha!”

Behind me, Snow sounds casual, and Luna laughs.

I turn around, and see Reina with an awkward smile on her face.

“Let’s wait a bit.”

“Yes.”

◇ ◇ ◇

We wait while talking about that day, until I feel a strong power in the sky.

I look up, and see a black dragon holding the emperor boar and flapping its wings.

But something feels strange.

It gets within a certain distance, but then hovers there and doesn’t get closer.

Back then she suddenly jumped at me, so why?

“What’s she doing?”

“Hm… What’s wrong, Tiltue?”

Elga and Luna also sound confused.

I’ve seen her act like this before. She was flustered like this when she couldn’t join the fights between the ancient dragons and demon gods.

So is she…

“…I think she’s nervous. Arata, go to her.”

“Yes.”

I slowly fly towards her. Tiltue can easily get away if she wants, but doesn’t.

I stop in front of Tiltue in her dragon form, and she starts looking all over.

“D-darling… This…”

“Remember how when we first met, you thought I was proposing?”

“…!?”

“This time it’s not a misunderstanding. So I want an answer.”

Is all I say before I go down to the ground.

I look up, waiting for her next move, and she starts flying around. And she stops when it looks like she’s made up her mind.

“T-this is my answer!”

She drops the emperor boar.

‘She dropped the emperor boar?’

‘That means she’s saying let’s eat together as a family!’

I catch the emperor boar, and as I lay it to the side, Tiltue jumps at me from the sky in her humanoid form.

“Let’s eat as a family!”

“Yes! Yes! I love you darling!”

“Me too.”

We hug each other, and I kiss her on the forehead.

When I pull my head back, I see she looks embarrassed and her face is red.

“Let’s go everyone!”

“““Ooooooh!”””

The moment Tiltue is about to talk, ancient dragons come out of hiding in the forest.

“Today we’re showing you the power of demon gods! Get them!”

“““Ooooooh!”””

Demon gods pop out of the other side, and a fight suddenly breaks out.

“Eh? E-eh…?”

This sudden development and the fact they’ve surely seen everything that just happened sends Tiltue into a panic.

“Blow these damn demon gods away!”

“Come and get us annoying dregs!”

Punch, kick, breathe fire.

The fight continues as they try to defeat each other and yell threateningly.

“W-why are you talking like that… Haven’t you been getting along lately!?”

Insults and abuse that haven’t been happening lately start flying from both sides, so she knows they’re serious.

She sounds a little sad.

“Guwaaaah!?”

Graham is punched by Gyes, and lands close to us.

He gets up right away, wiping blood from his mouth.

“Hey Tiltue! Why are you spacing out!?”

“Eh…?”

“You’re an ancient dragon, so get over here!”

Then, everyone who was fighting and hurling abuse stops and looks at Tiltue.

“Ah…”

I finally get what they’re doing.

All I can do is push her back.

“Go.”

“…Yes! I am an ancient dragon!”

A human like me has no place in there, it’s a fight between ancient dragons and demon gods.

What Tiltue was unable to take part in before.

“Here I go!”

She yells, and she starts blowing away demon gods with the ancient dragons.

She already knows the name of her ancestor, so the only one who can hold her back is the one who also knows, Gyes.

Still, it takes a lot of power to stop her, and his face is more red than usual.

“It looks like Tiltue is having fun.”

She’s about to blow Gyes away with a smile on her face, when the other demon gods intervene.

It’s like, if he can’t win one on one, they’ll do it with numbers.

Tiltue ends up not beating him, but it’s fine.

“I was wondering if this would be good, but it looks like it went well.”

“Can Luna go too?”

“No, this is like a ceremony just for them.”

Reina says to Luna.

We were Tiltue’s first friends, so we know how sad she was to be alone.

“Well, after all the trouble she caused, it ended up nicely.”

I nod to Elga, and Reina hands me Snow.”

I hold her, but she taps my head, so I sit her on my shoulders.

“Watch her, we are going to get ready for what comes next.”

“Luna’s gonna work hard too!”

They leave, and I lean on a tree with Snow.

She also silently watches, like she knows this is important for Tiltue.

“That’s nice, Tiltue.”

“Yes.”

We keep watching her, as she turns into a dragon and blows away both demon gods and ancient dragons with her breath.

“Ah… Now she’s done it.”

“She’s done it…”

She’s trying to justify it, but Graham and the others are pissed.

And then it turns into a rumble, where people fight whoever’s close regardless of what they are.

“I guess this is fine too.”

At least they’re having fun.
