Chapter 115
[Baton 2] Water x Ouga (Ouga Perspective/IF Story)
Why am I like this?
How can you be so powerful?
… even though I don’t need it.
I nod with my knees on the bed.
Because of me, a lot of the animals died.
Earlier, my first brother left the house.
Always, yes.
The trigger, for the most part, is a little something.
At the Dragon School, for example, I was scared even though I just spoke up.
I just feel a little uncomfortable attacking my opponent. My magic attacks me on its own.
I don’t want to do that.
Activate on your own, the power to run wild.
I just want to be normal – squeaky.
“Ouga, if you’re tired, there’s an animal”
My first brother was kind to me.
Run into your brother’s room and the animals will welcome you.
My first brother – Ichi, he hated dragons and people, and spent all his time with animals.
Someone who had a daughter-in-law, but reminded me of an innocent animal.
Only she seemed special to my Ichi brother.
“Animals are fine. Not insignificant.”
Ichi was right.
They’re not scared of me.
With sharp eyes and strong black dragons.
And the son of a former demon king.
Treated me like a swelling all around me, rampaging my powers many times.
My brother Ichi was so nice to me…
I’ve done irrevocable things.
Your brother’s room is connected to the jungle by connecting spaces.
I was allowed to enter and leave freely, where I was playing with one animal.
That’s where humans came in and killed your brother’s precious animal.
– I couldn’t forgive you.
When you realize it, the power runs wild and involves even your brother’s animals, not humans.
I’ve done more cruel and terrible things to the animals than those humans.
No, I can’t stop screaming.
The animals, who were forgiving me, lay down bleeding.
My brother Ichi only allowed me to come in here, except for his daughter-in-law.
He said I was special. He let me in.
Probably because I was somewhere – similar to my brother Ichi.
Brother Ichi knew I was lonely.
Yet I trampled on it.
Brother Ichi didn’t say anything.
I just left the mansion with my wife as it was.
“Augusto, there’s a healing in the magic of water attributes.”
It was Ixis who spoke up.
Ixis and I are in the same room.
We always slept in the big bed together.
On my back, which doesn’t raise my face, Ixis leans on my back perfectly.
“Extreme water attributes can cure even if you hurt them”
“Those guys… they’re not going back to normal anymore”
“Right. But with it, there might be someone who can help.”
“Do it yourself, you can fix it yourself”
I laughed with my nose at Ixis’s suggestion.
“If you can’t control it, I think you can figure out what to do when it runs wild.”
Like the others, Ixis doesn’t make fun of me for not being able to control my powers.
That I’m breaking my heart trying to control it, or that I can’t do it and I’m self-loathing.
This twin brother knew me.
Lean back on me, as usual, and whenever my power runs wild.
Only Ixis was there for me to understand everything and stay on my side.
When you think about me like you do about yourself, you can believe me for nothing.
“That strong power of Augusto is not meant to hurt. Don’t you?”
Turn around and Ixis’ golden eyes will stare at me.
“Born with strong power, it makes a lot of sense. I’m sure it’s for the only one we’ll ever meet.”
I didn’t have to tell you who that was referring to.
The Dragons are born only men. Travel and find the bride.
I’m sure we’ll meet, for just one bride, and Ixis wants to say that I have the power.
Ixis is quite a romantic.
Or that… was the cliché of my third brother, Alsace.
– Everything makes sense.
You were born as my brother to be loved by me.
You were born twins to help each other.
And that special power is to protect the loved ones we meet one day.
So for that time, brush your strength and yourself.
That’s what I always say, Brother Al strokes me and Ixis’ head.
“… If Ixis says so, I will”
“Do that. And the injured animal should still be able to make up with Ichi’s brother, even if it doesn’t go back.”
If you snort, Ixis tells you that.
“We can’t make up. I did terrible things to my brother Ichi… to the animals. You can’t ask me to forgive you.”
“My brother Ichi is clumsy, so ahhh. I know Augusto didn’t have to. I may not be able to do this right now… but one day, we’ll be able to make up.”
If it’s any other word, I’m just putting it on.
But.
“Do you think we can make up again someday?
“Oh, sure.”
If it hurts, you can heal it.
It doesn’t always get back to normal the same way.
The wound may remain.
But Ixis tells me it’s better than moaning at nothing.
This power can only hurt someone in me – this power.
Is there going to be a day when I can help someone?
●●●●●●●●●●●
“What’s wrong, Ouga, staring at your hand?
“No… I remember when I was young. I thought Ixis was right.”
Mako tried to peek into my hand sitting on the couch.
Tickled eyes on dark hair. I honestly think you look cute even though you’re over twenty.
Attract that body and put Mako on his lap.
Mako doesn’t run away.
In the old days, don’t be ridiculous. I just said, “Ouga.”
Now he’s got a nervous face, stiff on my lap.
I was glad that was strange and put my arms together in front of that belly.
If I put my head on my luxurious shoulder, Mako’s face became red.
“I thought I shouldn’t have any power. But because of that, I was able to go to another world and meet Meiko. This is how they help Meiko’s body…… I can hug her”
Mako has a little child temperature.
Because the Dragons are resistant to the cold and their body temperature doesn’t change much, or that’s comforting.
Meiko’s childhood was tamed, and her unhappy classmate/Saki was a genger.
Seeing and predicting the future, the Spirit of prophecy.
There was an outrageous prophecy, and Meiko was in an accident.
And Meiko’s soul went to another world.
I was in a hurry, but I remember the last thing Saki said on the phone.
– Did you have a brother? If you say that, you’ll still have the books I gave you for your birthday, right? I like the author. ”
Words with no front or back context at all.
Go to your own room in different spaces and look for birthday gifts that Saki used to push on you.
I was wondering what kind of wind he gave me, and I thought I’d throw him away, but I’m glad I kept it.
There are six books with no interest at all, the genre falls apart, all different authors.
But they all have the same surname ‘Austin’.
Probably the key there.
I decided to rely on that to go to different worlds and try to hit the ones with the Austin surname.
There are some similarities between the different worlds of Mako and us.
This English word resembles a letter used on a large continent.
The last name Austin, too, I knew there was quite a bit there.
First, I thought I’d go to Austin.
That’s where I immediately found Meiko.
Besides, I even had my brother Ixis, who I’ve been looking for.
Mako reckons she reincarnated herself into a woman named Hilda.
Ixis had become Hilda’s guardian dragon, the body into which Mako had entered.
Ixis had a troublesome pledge by a guy like Hilda… and there was a lot of trouble because that was the soul that was in Mako’s body’s company again.
Though I had a hard time solving that… somehow it all subsided round.
Mako is now in my arms with his original Mako body.
“I like it, Meiko”
“Huh…!
If you whisper, Mako turns bright red to his ears.
Don’t joke about it. Words you didn’t deal with arrive properly.
That’s all I’m so happy about.
“It’s time to go home!
Mako gets up.
Though I try to escape from me early on and open the doors of different spaces.
I wasn’t willing to let you get away with it.
“That, that!? Ouga, the door won’t open!?
“The rooms in different spaces are… freely closed at my will. Remember what Ixis said?
Approaching the bewildered Mako from behind, lay my hand on the knob.
Because Mako at least does something about the boys and Ixis, and then tells them he wants to go back to his original body.
It took me two years to get here.
I also like the good things about people like that……
But that’s enough – you’ve waited, haven’t you?
Become spending time with me in this world.
Meiko’s feelings also went towards me one by one.
He seems perplexed, but he’s late enough to think he’d finally be aware of it if I told him.
If you turn around and look at your moisturizing eyes…… there’s me there.
“Meiko, I like it”
“Okay, but Ouga is old away, and oh my God, he’s a friend…!
Are you still saying that?
Apparently, Meiko wasn’t keeping up with sudden emotional changes because she wasn’t aware of me until now.
“Mako does this with his friends?
Take a small jaw and mouth it on your lips.
I had already kissed him several times.
Be confused, but always make yourself feel good and tremble.
So you think you can tell me you’re rejecting me?
“Mako, don’t you like me?
“The way I hear that… sloppy”
If you ask sadly, Meiko says that in a small voice.
Which is sloppy.
Mako doesn’t want to admit how he feels when he looks at me because he likes me.
Well, but it’s dull and that’s fine.
You just have to understand.
I’m just… I’m definitely sorry I lost you, okay?
Remove the inverse scale. It hurts a little.
Reverse scales not seen over the mirror were still more red than cherry blossoms.
I met Meiko, and she started to give me back my feelings one by one, and then I went more and more dyed.
“Ouga, what are you going to do…?
In the matter of Ixis, Meiko had some knowledge of the dragon bride because he also talked about the option of a white dragon.
You know, I think you’re gonna listen to that, and you’re gonna look so scared.
Crush it at hand and include it in your mouth.
Let Meiko swallow it with her mouth.
“I’ll show you how much I like Mako… because I won’t let you get away with it anymore”
Mako turned his eyes round and opened his mouth puckedly.
You noticed, I squeezed my clothes tight.
“Yeah, if it’s Ouga… fine… I think. Maybe it’s me, Ouga, I like it…”
The word I like that I finally heard.
Obscure if I did, but still a big step, happy.
“That’s fine now. I’ll make you aware right away. Make Meiko a dragon and mine – I’ll protect you on the side the whole time.”
It’s a force for that.
I’m sure, for that matter – I was a black dragon.
Finally find something you want to protect – get it.
I thought so.
