Isekai Nonbiri Nouka Chapter 1026: Great Rananon’s Blessing

My designation is Rananon.

Approximately thirty days have elapsed since my awakening.

At long last, my physique is capable of proper movement once more.

Consequently, I instructed Ursa to transport a fragment of my scale and proceed towards our intended destination.

This scale fragment serves as a beacon.

Upon ascertaining that the fragment had ceased its motion for a significant duration, I would then journey to that precise location.

Would it not have been a swifter approach for Ursa to simply mount my back and offer guidance?

Ancient Dragons are not wont to permit humans to ride upon their backs lightly.

-0-

A complication has arisen.

My body does not function with the expected efficacy.

To be more specific….

I find myself incapable of flight.

This presents a considerable predicament.

I had assured Ursa of my immediate arrival.

After exerting my utmost effort for roughly a full day, I was compelled to relinquish the attempt.

It is a situation beyond my control.

I shall assume a human form… and navigate using teleportation magic.

Teleportation magic.

Though undeniably convenient, it carries a disreputable stigma among the Ancient Dragons, leading me to avoid its use whenever possible.

Nevertheless, this situation constitutes an emergency.

Owing to the World Tree leaves, my magical reserves are more than adequate.

There should be no impediment.

-0-

Upon my arrival via teleportation magic, the assembled individuals exhibited profound surprise.

I intentionally materialized at a point slightly removed from the scale fragment, thereby avoiding an abrupt appearance directly within their domain.

Is teleportation magic truly so uncommon?

Furthermore, Dors-boy.

Employing a human as a shield is an unseemly tactic.

Girar-boy, as well.

Have only your physical forms undergone significant growth?

Though, I must concede, you are currently in human guise.

…

Ah, the sight of Dors-boy and Girar-boy has evoked numerous recollections.

It occurs to me now, I did indeed receive confirmation of Dors-boy and Raimeiren's union.

And Hakuren.

I have encountered her previously.

My sincerest apologies.

I had entirely overlooked this fact.

Indeed, as one ages, memory can become unreliable.

Moreover, I had only just regained consciousness.

Her visag e served as a catalyst for recall.

I shall instruct Ursa to maintain discretion regarding this matter.

Doraim.

Yes, he was present as well.

Him too, I had completely forgotten.

The sole recollection I retained was of him as a diminutive child.

His elder sister… ah, who was it again?

Not Hakuren, but her younger sibling…

Um, um… Su, Su, Su…

Suren… no, that does not align.

Suiren! Precisely, Suiren!

I recall admonishing him once when he sought refuge behind Suiren.

He wept profusely, and Raimeiren subsequently chastised me.

Hahaha.

Hmm?

What troubles you, Doraim?

……He stands motionless, yet he has succumbed to unconsciousness.

Perhaps he was exceedingly fatigued.

-0-

Ah, Ursa has arrived.

Very well, then… I have been deferring this moment, but I must now confront the reality before me.

Um… Ursa.

Who precisely is this individual known as Hiraku?

Your progenitor, and the consort of Hakuren and Rasutisumoon?

……

Ah, it is of no consequence.

I have… processed a significant amount of information in this brief juncture.

Therefore then…

Let us defer the matter of the challenge for the present.

Um.

A deep inhalation.

Allow me to observe Hiraku once more.

…………

Eeeeeeeeh… what is this… it is rather unsettling.

F-for the time being, Ursa.

I wish to formally introduce myself, hence, would you be so kind as to have Hiraku feign a challenge towards me?

Yes, a mere pretense is all that is required.

Please convey this request to him on my behalf.

You wish to witness my prowess?

Hahaha, I shall provide a demonstration utilizing Dors-boy and Girar-boy.

I shall not engage Hiraku in combat.

Ah, Hiraku… Hiraku-san.

Given that combat is not to ensue, would you be so kind as to sheathe that rather intimidating spear?

I harbor no intention of causing disruption in this locale.

I shall confine my actions to submerging Dors-boy into the oceanic depths and depositing Girar-boy within a volcanic caldera.

Since Hiraku-san requests my cessation, I shall comply…

The reason for my presence?

I was apprised of a young woman bearing an identical appellation to my own.

Therefore, I have journeyed hither to bestow upon her my benediction.

Ah, you have likely discerned my name, yet I implore you to refrain from vocalizing it.

Not until you have issued the challenge.

I am bound by such a restriction.

I beseech you.

-0-

My designation is Rananon.

Indeed, I have succeeded in presenting myself appropriately.

Well done, myself.

And curiously, since my arrival here, my mental faculties feel considerably sharpened.

From the moment of my awakening, my mind had been ensnared by a pervasive mental fog.

That, I surmise, is the reason for my lapse in remembering Hakuren and Doraim.

Yes, yes.

Furthermore, Hiraku-san has extended an invitation for a welcoming banquet in my honor.

I shall attend with gratitude.

Hmm?

Is that Reginleif yonder?

What a familiar countenance…

She has absconded.

Well, that is inconsequential.

Oh, Bulga and Stifano.

How nostalg—

They too have fled.

Nevertheless, I shall commend them for refraining from dropping the infant they were convoying.

That child must surely be…. Kukulkan.

Hoho.

A commendable designation.

……A feline.

It did not take flight.

Hmm, hmm.

Your designation is Raigiel?

What an endearingly small creature.

There, there.

Allow me to bestow a gentle pat.

And then… you.

Was it you?

The entity that exerted influence over me during my slumber?

The progenitor of the mental haze that obscured my thoughts?

The cause of my faltering memories?

My misapprehensions?

No, my perceptions…. now that my mind is lucid—affirm that it was you.

Fufufu, there is no necessity for such trepidation.

I am cognizant that you pose no threat at present.

You must have endured considerable hardship.

I shall refrain from terminating your existence.

After all, I have reawakened.

However, I must confess to a lingering indignation regarding my utilization as a conduit for a water source.

Surely, more respectful methods of treatment exist.

Perhaps I shall direct this ire towards….. Dors-boy.

Precisely as this thought crystallized, I detected Dors-boy's indignant outcry echoing from a considerable distance, proclaiming the utter unreasonableness of the situation.

Hmm.

Dors-boy possesses remarkably acute senses.

…….

Or perhaps not.

He was merely engaged in eavesdropping.

At that very moment, an individual attired in the garb of a butler hurried forth.

「Village Chief!

Word has reached us from Bulga and the others of an emergency—……………………………………GYAAAAAAAH!

…Gucci.

Even for you, faking your demise simply from seeing my face is quite the insult.

…Ah, wait.

Did he actually faint?

Is it acceptable to leave him in this state?

Probably not.

Hiraku-san then carried Gucci off to a separate room.

-0-

At the feast, the dragon children presented themselves before me in an orderly line.

Hiichirou, Guraru, Rananon, Hikaru, Himiko, and Helzenark were there.

Hikaru and Himiko were being cradled by Hakuren.

Kukulkan… it appears Bulga and Stifano are diligently ensuring he keeps his distance from me.

Well, I had already encountered him earlier, so there's no pressing need to make him approach now.

Bulga and Stifano also attempted to restrain Rananon, but perhaps sensing she was the very reason for my presence, Rananon stepped forward with pride right before me.

Ah, no, that's Rasutisumoon, her mother, standing behind Rananon.

Hmm, indeed.

Both Rananon and Rasutisumoon possess a considerable aura.

They give the impression they will grow into formidable beings.

And then, there's Hiichirou.

Hakuren’s son, is he?

He appears quite reserved.

Will he manage alright?

I can’t help but wonder if he might face some teasing from the girls.

Hikaru and Himiko.

Despite their tender age, they display no apprehension towards me.

That’s a promising sign.

Their future prospects seem incredibly bright.

…….

Ah, Guraru.

And Helzenark.

It’s a pleasure to meet you both.

I intend no harm, so there's no need for such vigilance.

This is merely a formal greeting.

I cannot reveal my name unless someone issues a challenge, but…

Since Hiraku-san crafted a nameplate for me and I am currently wearing it around my neck, you can plainly see it, can you not?

It's a coveted item, one that even the Inferno Wolves and the Demon Spiders would surely envy.

Yes.

You share the same name as Rananon over there.

And you, Rananon.

Because you bear my name, others might utter various remarks to you.

However, you must not allow this to become a burden upon you.

Live your life with absolute freedom.

Furthermore… I am truly sorry.

Yes, well… I inadvertently caused a substantial amount of trouble.

Now that the fog clouding my mind has dissipated, those memories have returned.

I suspect that name might bring you difficulties.

If it is your desire, you are even permitted to renounce the name Rananon.

I simply implore you, please do not carry that weight upon your consciousness.

Granted, you are still young, and perhaps you do not fully grasp my words at this moment, but I hope you will hold them in your memory.

This is precisely the reason for my visit.

May blessings be bestowed upon all the children.

May the Ancient Dragons achieve eternal prosperity.

The welcoming banquet concluded in a most spirited fashion.

Although, certain individuals continued to indulge in the food long after the festivities had officially ended.

Nevertheless, that is quite understandable.

The cuisine is exceptionally delicious.

The alcoholic beverages are also of superb quality.

I can readily comprehend why Dors and the others choose to reside here.

Ah, rest assured.

I have no intention of taking up residence here myself.

I had previously pledged to assist Ursa with her duties.

Consequently, I shall be residing elsewhere instead……

Though the thunderous applause directed at Ursa is somewhat vexing.

Mere moments ago, everyone was directing blame her way for the disturbance of my awakening.

Gucci, cease shedding tears of joy so discreetly!

Hmm?

Hiichirou appears hesitant about my departure.

I see, I see.

Very well then, if a compelling reason arises, I shall certainly pay another visit.

Dors, my boy, Girar, my boy, cease your incessant screaming every time!

It is quite irritating!

…….

Fine, fine.

On my subsequent arrival, I shall forgo the use of teleportation magic.

You do not object to airships or teleportation gates, do you?

I shall opt for those modes of travel instead.

Do not treat me with such cold indifference.

If you mistreat this old woman, it will inevitably result in unfavorable consequences.

-0-

Great Rananon: 「Greetings.」 (arrives via teleportation magic)

Gucci: 「AIEEEEE! W-Why, how, Rananon-san!? Rananon-san!!!!」

Dors: 「It is unfair for Rananon-sama to utilize teleportation magic for travel!」

Reginleif: 「The Ancient Dragons are expressly forbidden from employing teleportation magic! This constitutes a violation of the Antarctic Treaty!」

-0-

Youko: 「A dangerous presence lingers nearby… I shall remain at Village Five tonight. I need to alert Hitoe immediately.」

Niz: 「Eeeeh… why has she been resurrected…」

Prada: 「All units, commence battle preparations! Safeguard the precious artworks!」

Versa: 「A 'Great Rananon'? Who might that be?」 (Having been a recluse, she lacks this knowledge.)

Hermes: 「At any rate, you absolutely must not venture to the village today.」

-0-

Ancestor-san: 「Perhaps I shall grace the village with my presence today, for the first time in quite a while.」

-0-

Raimeiren: 「I find myself unable to meet her gaze…」

Guronde: 「I was in hiding.」

Oru: 「Woof.」 (I am with mother.)

-0-

Great Rananon: 「If you treat this old woman poorly, it will inevitably result in unfavorable consequences.」

Dors: 「For instance?」

Great Rananon: 「I stated I would not reside here, but I never specified the timeframe for my departure. I would appreciate it if you all kept that in mind. In other words, the timing of my departure is entirely at my discretion. Should the mood strike me, I could remain for ten years… even a century…」

Dors: 「T-that’s despicable! That’s outright cheating!」

Girar: 「Murmur… murmur…」 (sound effect)
