Chapter 251: What Was Once Said
I was clad in my wood armor so I was able to catch Nagini as she fell out of the entrance. She spoke haltingly as she was out of breath.
「Intruding….you pierced through the Mausoleum’s barrier ssu…? A barrier that can withstand dragon attacks…you…..」
「Ahh, yeah I heard that if I entered the Mausoleum without doing anything about it I would get attacked by lightning…so I broke it a little bit following Hesty’s instructions. I’ll fix it later so forgive me for that.」
So I should say, as expected of Hesty. She was able to analyze this wall barrier, how it was made and designed. But at the moment I’ll leave that aside and focus on Nagini.
She was covered in wounds and I could see blood all over. Even so she hadn’t let go of the girl she was carrying in her arms. Most likely the one in her arms was her elder sister.
As I checked over her sister I couldn’t see any wounds on her body.
「Ah…I see. I see how hard you’ve worked to protect her Nagini.」
I said and Nagini’s face warped as tears began flowing out of her eyes.
Then her tottering body collapsed onto my armored body.
「Oioi, are you okay?」
「u,uu….I-I’m sorry ssu. I just felt so relieved…that my body loosened up…」
「Don’t worry about it. If it’s just the two of you I can easily bear the weight.」

「T-thank you ssu…..Master……」
Nagini said as she looked up at my face. At nearly the same instant,
「WHICH BASTARD BROKE MY CASTLE…!!!」
A huge shout echoed out as eight dragon heads broke through the tree wall I had created in front of the entrance.
「So that’s the Founding Dragon that tried to kill you guys? It looks more like Yamata no Orochi.」
「Y-yes….! I deeply apologize for getting you involved in this ssu…!」
As Nagini confirmed my words the Orochi over there finally caught sight of us.
「I had thought I sensed something strange when Nagini arrived….so it’s a human and Dragons in human form who have come for some reason…」
It said glaring at us with bloodshot eyes.
It was a gaze filled with rage and mixed with some surprise.
「…..no, it doesn’t really matter that some dragons have arrived. The most important part is that something like a human has intruded upon our matters…it’s a grave crime. Those things are mine. Those are my flesh yet you…..」
The Founding Dragon continued to speak and grew more irritated. He pointed towards Nagini and her sister that were protected behind my back.
「….Human…If you hand them over I can let you go with only taking a limb or two. I’ll spare your life. Give them to me.」
「Oioi, I’ve got plenty to say about that but…these girls’ bodies are their own and no one else. You’re really saying some mistaken garbage there Founding Dragon.」
At my words the Founding Dragon’s face warped and it bared it’s teeth.
It was a bit difficult to read dragon faces but I got the distinct feeling it was even more irritated now.
「….little human worm…you intend to cover for those failed materials?」
「Of course.」
I said and Nagini gripped onto me with her arms.
「Master….you’ll stay by our side ssu…?」
I simply nodded in response.
Lightning and flames began overflowing from the Founding Dragon’s heads.
「I see…so you’re saying that you don’t want to live…」
It appeared to be filled with anger and its motivation was at an all time high.
「Those things were raised by me. No matter how I treat them…it’s my business. How insolent to cut in and tell me how I should handle them….!!」
「Well you know if it was just a normal household issue I wouldn’t interfere…It wasn’t my intention to interfere in your family plans in the first place.」
But this time was an exception.
「Since this girl came seeking to be my disciple she’s shown me that she is nothing but an admirable and good girl. I have no intention of stepping aside and allowing you to harm her.」
At the very least I would not let this girl who I had watched over die on my watch.
Furthermore…
「Founding Dragon…you said that you’d crush the people of the city and the forest as well right? I can’t let that pass either. That’s where my house is and the location of some of the people I like best…」
That’s right. If he had his way he’d crush both my disciple and the places I loved….
「—In that case…I’ll simply crush you here with all my power Founding Dragon…!!」
