Reincarnated as a dragon’s egg ～Lets aim to be the strongest～

might not have been cured, but the return of her strength will have alleviated her symptoms.

Confused, the other children surround her, touching her body in amazement.
She blinks, then fixes her gaze at my partner.

『With this, she should be able to talk easier.』

My partner proudly transmits her thoughts… Our MP situation has become a little dire.
No, compared to Humanisation Technique, High Rest’s cost should be tiny.
One shot should be fine… Though our dwindling MP has been reduced even more

“A-amazing”
“Onee-san, are you a white mage?”
“Th-this girl’s eyelid swelling, can you also cure it!?”

The children shuffle over towards us.

This really isn’t a nice environment.
It’s hard for them to see their feet, and there are pointy rocks all over the place.
Germs will get in since it’s unclean, and there’s no chance for them to dress the wounds.

…That’s why, there’s no way we have enough MP spare to heal them all.
We’re already running low from humanising as it is.

I feel bad for them, but here we should…

“Th-there’s no helping it then.
You lot, line up for me.”

My partner says that, and one of the girls takes the hand of another, pulling her forwards.
That girl’s eyes are shut closed, her gait unsteady.
She must be the girl with swollen eyelids that was mentioned earlier.

P-partner-san, did you hear what I said just now!? You’re just enjoying being fawned over by the kids, oi! Time is running out!

If we undo the humanisation this close to the village, there’s no telling what would happen.
If we’re unlucky, the relationship between the villages could get even worse…

“[High Rest].”

She chants, and the swelling in the girl’s eyelid dies down.
Various other swellings and scratches on her heal too.

The surrounding children cry out in joy.
The girl feels at her eyelids with her hand, then opens her eyes.

“A-amazing… My eye – I can see.
And I was really cold before, but now I’m warm…”

…That’s great and all, but partner-san?

“Hey, hurry up, next in line.
It’s only until I change my mind, okay?”

The children descend on her.
She treats each of them in turn.

“Th-thank you very much, onee-san!”

“This much is no biggie.”

“Umm, umm, what might your name be!?”

“I have no name worth giving.”

Within a few minutes, she’s assembled a harem.
The dark atmosphere inside the cave is dispelled, becoming lively.

…That’s fine, but I’m not happy about this! Time! We’re out of time! What are you doing, acting all cool for?! You’ve got a massive smile on your face! I can tell, you know!

『As long as we leave soon, it’ll be fine, right? Even if we listen to what they have to say now, we should have plenty of time left over.』

…I want to get away from this village so they can’t see, though.

『We’ll be fine.
I just need to jump out, knock down the guard, and run away, right? We’ve got plenty of time.』

Th-this dragon-brain… There’s no guarantee they won’t come chasing after us; we have no idea what the common sense of this area is.
If you drain our MP without thinking like that, then if something unexpected comes up, we won’t…

『If I quickly get the questioning over with and quickly run away, you won’t have any complaints, right? I’ve gotten their trust.』

…I-I have to wonder if giving up on the questioning and running away would be better now.

『I’ll get it over with quickly, so don’t worry.』

…W-well, it’s true that with this, the questioning should go smoothly. 

“Umm, the rope, I’ll untie it!”

One of the girls moves around to behind us and touches the rope.
Following her, some of the other kids also circle behind.

“…S-stiff.”
“This rope’s for tying down big monsters…”
“H-horrible! This is horrible!”

“I can take it off myself, so there’s no need.
Grrr…raah!!

Twisting her body, she bites at the rope with sharp teeth.
Straining with all her might, she then weakens the rope to the point that she can shave at it with a nail.
Once enough has been shaved away, she stretches her arms out mightily.
The rope tears apart and falls to the ground.

“Yeah, with this body, I can’t put that much power into it.”

Stepping on the remains of the rope, she cracks her neck.

“…A-amazing.”
“That rope can even hold down a grafant, onee-san, who exactly…”

The girls chatter happily.

…It seems like things go better for you.
Whenever I’ve interacted with people, there’s always been some sort of complication.
No, I suppose it went well with those Lithovars earlier, too.

“Th-that’s nothing worth clamouring over, you know.
So noisy.”

…Oi, you’re panting a bit.
