「Well then, it’s the after meal, special training.」

If I had known that I wouldn’t get a break, I wouldn’t have gone for a meal.

 

Shortly after finishing the vegetable hot pot, the Hunt God put his hand on my back with a pon.

「Hunt God-sama. If you move immediately after eating, your back will start hurting, so maybe we can do it after a while longer?」

 

「Idiot. Training when it’s difficult, is meaningful.」

 

「I think Hunt God-sama should adopt a more modern training theory.」

I look around for help, but Rēko is currently bolting down a heap of vegetable porridge, the Saintess and Doradora are having a nap, and Ariante along with Sousou are having some after meal exercise (combat training).

 

In short, no one will stop him.

 

The Hunt God gently gave a voice of encouragement to me, whose legs were shaking when I remembered the spartan training back then.

「It’s okay. You have worked hard. I’m sure, you can overcome, this training.」

 

「Uu… Can I please pass the training without trying hard…」

Of course, the Hunt God is not someone who would listen to such begging. I was dragged out of the cave without any question.

「Now, let’s jump lightly.」

And that is the first opening order.

Jump?

If I jumped and he heard the sound of coins, would I get mugged? No, Hunt God might be Hunt God, but he won’t make such small-time villainous threats.

「Ahh. Did you mean fly in the sky?」

 

「That’s, right.」

 

「Ahaha. Don’t ask the impossible, Hunt God-sama.」

However, there is no need to wonder why he misunderstood.

 

In the battles so far, I have flown in the sky several times with the help of the spirits. The Hunt God didn’t know my detailed situation, so he probably misunderstood that I was able to fly on my own.

 

So, in a logical way, I explained that “Flying alone without help is impossible for me”.

「It’s okay, fly.」

He didn’t listen.

 

Spartan training also had it’s limit. No matter how hard you train, a lizard can’t fly in the sky.

However, as the Hunt God began to take hold of a whip, I hurriedly stretched out my black claws and formed it into wings on my back.

 

And I tried my best to make them flutter and flap.

「It’s different, okay. Even if I try with all my might, I can’t do it on my own. See, even if I try to flap my wings like, I can’t fly at all you see?」

 

「You did it.」

 

「…Eh?」

Speaking of which, the feeling of my feet is strange.

 

When I looked down, my wings were pushing down the grass on the plains with the wind, and I was floating as high as a person.

「I’m flying? By myself?」

 

「As I thought. You, somehow, felt different. So, I thought, that you could fly.」

What’s more, even though moving the black claws on my own usually consumes a lot of physical strength and I am usually out of breath by now, I currently feel like I can fly normally as it is.

When I slowed down my wings, my body slowly descended into the ground.

「Err… Does this mean that I’ve grown up?」

 

「I hope?」

 

「Why is that a question?」

 

「You, have no talent. I want, to praise you, but this growth, is unnatural.」

 

「That’s right, huh.」

I myself felt more embarrassed than happy.

 

Restoring the black claws that were wing shaped, I was struck with a strange discomfort.

 

I wonder if Spirit-san’s power remained a little. That would be nice.

「Now, try attacking a little.」

 

「Eh? Attack?」

I was a little restless, but the Hunt God urged me again. Flying is one thing, but I don’t exactly have a technique that is considered an attack.

 

However, If I don’t try as he requested, a whip will come.

「Eii, “Dragon King’s Claws”」

It almost felt like a joke.

 

I just raised my front right legs up and swung it towards a tree that was growing around.

—even though it’s like that.

Bara.

 

The tree that I swung my claws to was turned into fine dust and collapsed.

「…」

 

「…」

The Hunt God and I went silent.

 

After losing his voice for a bit, the Hunt God murmured.

「Try, blowing flames.」

 

「Hahaha. Hunt God-sama, that is impossible. I can still barely understand the flying and claws, but it’s biologically impossible for me to blow flames. I’ll burn my tongue off…Err…so I should do it like this?」

I blew it.

 

I imagined that I ate something spicy, and when I tried to breathe it into the air, some bright red flame came out. And my tongue doesn’t feel hot at all.

「Can you call thunder down?」

 

「Wait a minute, Hunt God-sama. Please refrain from asking any more. I’ll hate it and get scared if I can really do it.」

It’s an emergency.

 

I was just a normal lizard, but I feel like I became something dangerous. Is this the same case as when Rēko awakened?

But I don’t think I’m an Evil Dragon. I’m just a large lizard.

「For the time being, let’s consult with everyone.」

I nodded at the Hunt God’s suggestion.

 

There is no doubt that there are unusual changes in my body. And it can be dangerous if it is left unattended. It would be hard if I sneezed and inadvertently blew out some flames. I have to quickly get back and talk about it.

Quickly returning to the cave with the Hunt God—but on the way.

「…hm? If this power is like Rēko’s, then anything is?」

I came up with something, then I tapped the ground. While thinking “ Grow some very delicious grass”.

However, there was no change on the ground, and no grass grew either.

「What, are you doing?」

 

「Oh, I’m sorry. I’ll catch up soon.」

Prompted by the Hunt God, I started running again.

Although I was swallowed by the temptation of power a little, I succeeded in getting rid of it safely.
