I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 160: The dark fire.

"Owh! I'm surprised, Sira, you don't usually shut up while flying" I said in surprise with Sira.

"Yes, I was surprised too" he told me.

"Hm... Then it doesn't matter if I increase the speed? ahaha!"

" …! "

The dark day within the forest and the sunset light that colored the sky really became a blend of colors that could make one goosebumps, especially with all the sounds that can mentally vibrate someone the forest becomes a place of fear, but all that has no effect on me because I am used to dealing with it.

It seemed rather surprising to me that Sira who used to stick her nails in my skin had now become quite different, she was even being very calm and completely non-rebellious when I carried her flying high above the forest, even so I still take precautions by just hugging him and not putting him on my back because I do not want the incident some time ago to repeat.

Seeing the attitude of Sira who was accustomed to heights made me quite excited to fly by adding a little bit of my speed hehe.

...***...

"Gee! the wind is cold! are you cold Sira?"

"You shouldn't ask me that question, miss" he told me.

"Y-yeah, you have a point."

The fur is very thick. "•IT'S A MATTER OF COURSE•

Enjoying the day from the extremely cold air, my skin would definitely look even paler due to the temperatures that were less supportive of my flight, I was even worried about the state of Sira because her small body would definitely be very susceptible to cold, but that was just my thinking, behind her small body, she said, Sira has very thick fur and even her fur is much warmer than my body.

Continuing to fly while staring at the desolate atmosphere of the day that had been seen starting to darken with all the parts of the forest that had also changed color almost made my gaze directional blind, but lucky I have good eyesight and will not be affected by the darkness at night.

"Hm... There seems to be a commotion, how about we see it?"

"Yes, it's up to you lady, I'm just coming along" Sira replied as she stared in the same direction as me.

"Yes! let's see!"

After a long time I was airing not far in front of me a reddish orange light shone from behind the forest leaves and certainly it was not the sunset because the round object had completely sunk without even leaving the light, I then invited Sira to go see the place because there was one thing that made me curious moreover the campfire could not possibly be that big.

...ΩΩΩ...

"Wahh.. it turns out that there are indeed people who are fighting, well let's help, maybe they want to be my friend ehehehe."

"Hhhhhhh!"

"You can't sleep, Sira?" I asked Sira. •_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________•

"It shouldn't be a miss. but the wind has a big influence, especially at night" he replied, closing his eyes.

"Yes, it's already late when the night is still not too late" I said while slowly lowering the height.

Arriving just above the area of the forest that was burning, in accordance with my guess the flames that I saw from a distance before were created due to the ongoing fight, he said, the screams roll out and the sound of iron bouncing from hitting a loud object is heard very clearly in my ears, moreover, because the atmosphere of the night in the forest was always quiet the sounds of the fight were heard bouncing with increasingly clear sounds.

I was quite interested in this situation because it was possible that I would make new friends just like when I met Toki's group, even though I had failed several times in one day, but it won't bother my spirit to make a lot of friends because this is all I can do without getting out of the woods.

Even so, it seems that Sira's feelings have still not improved, she does look mediocre with her sleepy little body, but I could guess that it was just an expression that showed her dislike for what I was going to do at the moment, seeing it like it made me feel bad for her, she said, but I can't ignore the people below me anyway Sira doesn't seem to care about the situation and she doesn't openly disagree with my actions either and that means she won't something troublesome happened.

...***...

"Hup! owh...! looks like it's a pretty dangerous situation, but... um... what kind of monster is that?" I said as I landed on a tree branch.

"Dead wood" Sira said.

"Dead – what?"

"Dead wood.dead wood monsters, although not entirely monsters. They were quite troublesome, their large group was in the area of the dead forest far north of this forest, but some of them usually live camouflaged among the green foliage of the forest.they rarely attack people… there may be a fool who would cut down a tree as firewood, but he chose the tree wrong" Sira told me.

" … "

Landing on a large tree branch filled with lush leaves, I then watched the surroundings of the people fighting to analyze the situation before I appeared before them.

I watched every corner of the area around the fight to make sure that no other monsters were hiding and would attack those people as they caught their guard when facing the two strange monsters in front of them, to be honest I was completely confused by the form of monsters that were being fought by those people even as long as I lived in this world I had never seen it, I had never seen it, the monster looked like an old wooden tree but had a mouth and eyes that looked more like the cavity of a black tree on weathered wood and it looked quite creepy at night.

Sira who saw me confused then explained to me about their names and habits and the place where their population grew, I was quite surprised by what Sira said because she knew so much about the monster, I did not expect this little cat to have greater knowledge of its body.

"What's up, miss?" ask Sira to me.

"Eh! n-no, it's nothing. It's just that you know a lot about the kind of monsters. I. was quite surprised.." I said while turning my face away.

"If you live longer, you can learn a lot" he told me.

"Yes, I wish I was over 18/"

"Harghhhh!!!"

"Owh! I almost forgot about that one, yahh.I better help them" I said as I jumped down.

…

"Well let's make a new friend ehehe" I connected while changing the shape of my bracelet.

It came back to my senses after being stunned by not being able to speak and I felt that it was very embarrassing, for Sira this knowledge was probably commonplace, she said, but for me things like this can only be found in fantasy novels, but as Sira said, all that knowledge I will definitely get from my life experience just like Sira who has outlived me and talked about life experiences I suddenly thought back to my death at a young age –reallyreally a short life.

Much to the point of lacking in usefulness, I was again startled by the sound of a loud enough scream from one of the people who was fighting due to being too focused on Sira, I almost forgot the purpose of coming to this place, I then jumped down and instantly changed the shape of my bracelet into a beautiful sword with a carving of roses.

"Owh! this wood is stronger than it looks! hehehehehe.. yahh. no problem, I will still cut the twigs" I said with a smile.

Shhtt!!! Shhtt!!!

"Wahh…! it turns out he also has regeneration" I'm a little surprised.

Naturally, if these people lose, yahh.

After I changed the look of my bracelet, I immediately jumped into the fight to save a man who had fallen from the threat of the prick of one of the branches creeping belonging to the wooden monster he was fighting, and beyond my expectations the weathered wood is not as weak as it looks even he can extend each branch to attack.

In addition, each branch that was cut back could recover quite quickly and the ability seemed quite troublesome if it had to be fought with people who only relied on physical abilities in fighting, he said, although weaker than me, but I was quite troubled when facing the two wooden trees because I only fought using one hand, while for the other hand I was still very tightly holding Sira like a puppet.

"Your branch looks so messy... haa!!" I said as I kicked the old log.

DUARR!!

"Hahh.. well stay one more.... uh! oh!!! my dress is broken!!" I said while breathing.

Shhh!

"Done! that's the result of daring to ruin my dress!" I said as I shook my sword.

Cracks!!

"Hahh.. I should have finished it right from the beginning, hiks.no problem, I will sew it later" I said as I returned the shape of my bracelet.

After a few moments of fighting and repeatedly having to cut and hold every puncture from the branches of the tree that attacked me quickly, he said, I was finally able to get close to the main tree trunk of one of the dead wood monsters and without wasting any golden opportunity available, I instantly got one hard kick on the dead wood monster until it bounced far away and was cut into two pieces, as great as any regeneration of the tree wood was its ability to recuperate must have had its limits and with the damage being so severe after receiving my attack, I was pretty sure he would have died.

Sighing after taking down one of the wooden monsters, I became very annoyed with the monster's act of having hollowed out my dress skirt, I then raised my sword to reach a vertical angle right in the middle of my face with a straight and cold gaze before I finally darted quickly cutting the old wood shitty into pieces, after the tree was cut into piles of wood one by one its parts turned into ice and ended up disappearing into the ground.

I was happy to see that pile of wood break into pieces of ice, but it was still not enough to restore my mood.

"Sira's? are you all right?"

"M-maybe it would be better. j-if my lungs are not pinched, miss" Sira said.

"Eh! egh!! m-sorry Sira, I didn't accidentally" I said as I released Sira.

"Hah hah hah…! huhh.. no problem, miss" he said again.

"ah! thank God, sorry Sira. I didn't notice."

"Yes, I'm also less careful."

Quite happy and amused by the shattering of the annoying trees earlier, I was confused by what Sira was doing because since then she kept patting my hands even she was also a little thrashing like a cat that did not want to be bathed, but it turned out that she was acting that way because I was too strong to hold her and made her almost out of breath, she said, realizing that I immediately released Sira and let her lie down for a while on the ground while pushing down on Sira's stomach with my fingertips.

After a while Sira was lying down, I was so relieved to see her standing up straight again, for the last few moments I thought Sira would definitely die and I had killed her by accident, but apparently not, I'm glad Sira's a strong cat hehehe. •_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________•

"Yes! let's go back to my original destination. Hello everyone! do you want to be my friends?" ask me while smiling.

" ... "

"Who would be your friend the devil! I'd rather die than be friends with you!" one of the men in the group.

"H-hey. s-we should get out of this place immediately.This demon is too dangerous for us" said his girlfriend as she pulled her arm.

" … "

Greeting without much ado I immediately said my wish to befriend them, I'm very happy to say that even more so they don't attack or run when they see me and that makes me able to speak well enough, but being able to speak doesn't mean things will go easily, I was really surprised by their reaction to me even one of them said something quite hurtful and with sharp eyes pointed at me.

The man's actions then came to a halt after his friend forcefully pulled his hand away from me, all the while I was speechless watching them leave.

"Sira?"

"Yes, miss?"

"Is there something wrong with my words?"

"No, you said it very clearly."

"really?"

"Yes, that's how it is."

"That's not the problem, is it?"

"Well, you may be too outspoken about the matter, miss" Sira told me.

"I just want to be straightforward... ahh!! why does it have to be like this again?! though I can already speak well, what kind of person would consider an adorable girl like me as a demon anyway? it sucks" I said as I crouched my face between my knees.

Standing upright with straight gazes watching the backs of those people leave, I was still very surprised by their reaction to me, I was pretty sure there was nothing wrong with my words and Sira herself also said that to me, this is quite disappointing, she said, the desire I said to them bluntly was not conveyed at all and even made my spirit faintly fade.

"We'd better leave it for today, miss, let's go home" Sira told me.

"Yes, I think it's better, this is the umpteenth time in the day I am called the devil" I sat back and looked up at the star-filled sky.
