Simply put, it's like being forced to hold back halfway through, feeling extremely uncomfortable and stuck in a rut, while having to pretend nothing's wrong and suffer in silence.

"It would be quite exciting if I didn't have to hold it in." Miss Fox stirred her vegetable soup, and suddenly the sumptuous dinner in front of her didn't taste so good anymore.

"Tsk, this is all that bastard group owner's fault!"

Boom!!

Suddenly a tremor ran through me, and the vegetable soup almost spilled all over the floor!

Before Miss Fox could even figure out what was happening, she heard another loud bang, followed by a tremor of the earth. Her hearty dinner, which she had only eaten half a bowl of rice, was ruined, and she managed to salvage only half a bowl of vegetable soup!

"An earthquake?" Miss Fox asked, puzzled.

However, no one can answer this question now. The adventurers in the Adventurers' Guild are in complete chaos, frantically trying to squeeze through the door.

The sharp-eyed Miss Fox also noticed that the adventurers who were about to leave suddenly turned back with expressions of terror, managing to even out the number of people pushing them out, blocking the doorway and preventing them from going in or out.

"Hmm, it seems like there aren't any aftershocks?"

"Why is it dark?" Miss Fox opened a window at random and peeked out. She found that the sun hadn't set yet, and the afterglow of the sunset was still illuminating the sky.

But if you look at the entrance to the Adventurers' Guild, it's definitely dark now.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this was not some special wonder of another world, but rather a creature blocking the entrance, preventing sunlight from shining in and thus creating the illusion of darkness.

"Sorry, sorry, the mount is a bit too big. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience it may have caused you." At this moment, the voice of a middle-aged man with fluctuating emotions came from the doorway.

The adventurers who had been crowding the doorway had dispersed, consciously standing on both sides to make way for the two people who walked in—a warrior in full black armor and a travel-worn female adventurer.

Hmm, it's hard to tell what the woman's profession is. If she's a warrior, she has a rapier at her waist, but she doesn't have any armor. If she's a mage, she doesn't fit the image of the mage adventurers Miss Fox has seen, who always carry staffs.

"Could it be that he cultivates both magic and martial arts?" Miss Fox thought it was quite possible.

"So, what was blocking the sunlight was their mount?"

"What kind of mount is so powerful?"

As I passed the armored warrior, I simply took one of his weapons as compensation for the wasted dinner.

Upon taking possession, they discovered that the armored warrior's weapon was surprisingly good. Despite their efforts, the hilt of the greatsword remained intact, without even a dent.

It's clear that this remote little town couldn't possibly have obtained such excellent equipment.

This made Miss Fox think, 'Should we return it?'

"...Ah, [Isn't this Lingkou Stinky Dragon Dream!? I] But as soon as O Fox Shirt Sister stepped out of the shop gate, she gave up the idea of ​​returning it."

Because the mount mentioned by the fully armored warrior parked at the entrance was her target from yesterday's mission, and also the prime suspect for today's group mission: the Tyrant Stinking Dragon!

"Wouldn't you say this was all done without any effort?" Miss Fox said seriously. After observing the stinky dragon from head to toe, Miss Fox noticed that the stinky dragon seemed to have gotten quite well-fed after just one day away.

There wasn't a single scratch or abrasion on his body. His abdomen was slightly swollen, clearly indicating that he had eaten his fill. He stood in front of the adventurer's door with his head held high, looking arrogant and proud, and his occasional downward glances were full of mockery.

“(╬ ̄皿 ̄)”

...

The Tyrannosaurus Rex was very relaxed.

From the city gate all the way to the Adventurers' Guild, Kagura's Mind's Eye didn't detect anything, so she was certain that the highly skilled stealth adventurer from yesterday wasn't in the city.

This left Tyrannosaurus Rex with mixed feelings.

Although it really wanted to run into the adventurer and deliberately cause a conflict so that the Great Demon King could resolve the problem, the Tyrannosaurus Rex felt inexplicably relieved when it discovered that the other party was not in the city, which puzzled it a bit.

'Am I a masochist?'

'No, no, no! How could that be! How could I be a masochist!' He shook his head frantically, denying the idea, when the Tyrannosaurus Rex accidentally stepped on it too hard, causing a slight tremor.

This ambiguous action immediately caught the attention of the temporary master on his back, who patted him on the back and said, "Be gentle!"

The Tyrannosaurus Rex felt a sudden pang of panic and instinctively shrank back, trying to minimize its size.

The feeling of panic came and went quickly, disappearing in just a moment, which relieved the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"I didn't expect you to be so sensible. As Ainz-sama's mount, you've done a good job," the female companion beside her master said to it.

It seems she misunderstood the series of strange actions just now, thinking that the Tyrannosaurus Rex realized it had reached its goal and was therefore bending down to make them both get off as a submissive act.

'That's fine too...' After all, dinosaurs' throats aren't suited for speaking, and even if they could, it would be a situation where they couldn't communicate.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex is alright, it has a system that can translate for it, but this rigid, unintelligent system is only good for that. It can only translate for it. If it were to actually speak, I'm afraid no one in this other world would understand what language it's speaking.

'Looks like I'll have to add a course on learning the language of this other world in the future.'

'But what was that feeling of panic just now?' Seeing that his two masters had already gone inside, the Tyrannosaurus Rex stretched out its body again and raised its huge head once more.

As for those weak human adventurers below, it had no interest in them whatsoever. It knew very well the adventurers active here; they were nothing but a bunch of useless good-for-nothings with high skills but low intelligence.

'!'

coming!

That feeling of panic is back!

Just as the Tyrannosaurus Rex had inwardly scorned the adventurer at its feet, it felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave!

A malevolent force was lurking somewhere, watching it intently! A malevolent intent that wished it could tear the very bones from its body!

'Calm down! That damned adventurer isn't here! And the Demon King, who was forced to submit, is still inside!'

'No one dares to touch me here!'

Nobody's here!

"Eat my salted fish skewer!!"

Pfft!

By the time the Tyrannosaurus Rex realized the attack, it was too late!

The jet-black two-handed greatsword that should have been behind the Great Demon King pierced its skin, ignored its muscles, and stabbed a hole in its bones before finally stopping, exhausted!

This is—'that damned adventurer from yesterday!!'

"Awooo—!!!"

Chapter Twenty-Two: Oh no, we're doomed!

"Ah, it's stuck too tight, I can't pull it out."

Watching the Tyrannosaurus Rex roar wildly and stomp its feet, creating one large crater after another, Miss Fox gave up.

Since it's not my own weapon, and I just grabbed it on a whim, there's no problem using it on someone else's mount.

"I originally intended to kill him with a single blow..."

Unfortunately, Miss Fox didn't understand the physiological structure of dinosaurs and didn't know that there was a place where a single blow could kill. Although it was possible to cut off the neck, she couldn't reach it yet.

Yes, it's not enough. Although Miss Fox can jump that high, the power will dissipate, and the length of that greatsword is not enough.

Cutting off the neck is not an option, but severing the throat is feasible.

But this foul-mouthed dragon is a time traveler, and cutting its throat might not even kill it. Plus, jumping would break the aura-concealing state, so Miss Fox chose to pierce one of its legs.

"By the way, I've never seen a dinosaur's genitals before..." Actually, Miss Fox would rather cut off its third leg.

Unfortunately, Miss Fox couldn't find a trace of the third leg under the Stinking Dragon's lower body.

"Could it be a tail?"

The more I thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and I even wanted to chop off the Tyrannosaurus Rex's tail.

But the Tyrannosaurus Rex's tail was swinging wildly everywhere, and even though Miss Fox's axe was eager to strike, she felt powerless to stop it.

Ultimately, it's because Miss Fox herself lacks experience. Since her transmigration, she has experienced very few battles and has no experience facing this kind of situation.

"What's going on?" And most importantly, the master of this mount has come out.

After all, it caused quite a commotion. This Tyrannosaurus Rex almost caused a monster rampage in the city. The smooth road in front of the Adventurers' Guild was turned into a crescent moon, and the nearby adventurers all drew their weapons to deal with it.

Although the only onlooker, Miss Fox, thought these adventurers would just be easy prey.

Moreover, judging from the way this Tyrannosaurus Rex was jumping around, the sharp eyes of the onlookers believed that even if its master came, it wouldn't calm down without giving it a good beating!

Miss Fox has even prepared her secret-recipe rabbit jerky as a snack for watching the play!

"Stop!"

I never expected this.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex's master simply uttered a emotionless sentence, which immediately made the dinosaur stop its destruction, shrink back, stick out its legs, and look cowardly.

'This level of taming is too high!' Miss Fox was dumbfounded.

"Hey! What's wrong with your mount?!" "Yeah, yeah, if I let you in, shouldn't it be a tamed mount?!" "Why did it suddenly go berserk..." "My house! My house was damaged by your mount! How are you going to compensate me?!" "What's wrong with your mount anyway?!" "Was it brought in specifically to cause damage?!"...

'But thankfully, the desire to enjoy the gossip never stops, and the juicy juicy story will never be late.'

The adventurers around them, as well as the residents whose houses had been destroyed by the Tyrannosaurus Rex, immediately began to criticize it the moment the Tyrannosaurus Rex struck a pose like a lapdog.

Perhaps it was because of her hostility towards the Tyrannosaurus Rex, or her hatred for those two people that extended to dragons and humans, that Miss Fox didn't even feel anything was wrong, and even had a desire to get involved—

"It really is...!" Miss Fox suddenly perked up, and the energy she usually absorbed during cultivation suddenly started circulating. A cool sensation surged into her brain, instantly making her much more awake!

Only then did she realize that she had almost been assimilated by the jealousy emanating from those adventurers!

"No, rather, I was subconsciously belittling the people around me without any regard for them. I just saw this foul-mouthed dragon and poked it, just like a bratty kid with a bad temper!"

"In the end, I'm the one who's to blame!" "But even so, I don't feel guilty. Well, I guess it's because I don't feel very good about myself..." After all, she was socially awkward in her original world, or even a semi-autistic person.

At most, I feel a sense of panic at having done something wrong, but I don't feel guilty at all. I only feel regret that I couldn't kill the Tyrannosaurus Rex in one blow.

"Yeah, I really am a terrible person."

"But how do you say 'terrible'?" Miss Fox blushed, looked around to make sure no one was watching before letting out a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, I just had another brain fart. I hope I won't let anything slip next time.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you." At this moment, the armored warrior, who had already drawn his longsword from his Tyrannosaurus Rex mount, spoke up.

"Hashitaro didn't suddenly go berserk; he was attacked, which is why he suddenly went berserk." As he spoke, he showed the longsword he had drawn to the adventurers.

"Isn't this your own sword?!" "Heh, you didn't orchestrate this whole thing yourself, did you?!" "Because your mount went berserk because you couldn't tame it, you chose to stab it with your own weapon to save face, right?!" "You…"

But the adventurers were not convinced; instead, they continued to mock the armored warrior with sour remarks.

This is to be expected, since the armored warrior entered the door carrying two swords, and now one of the swords is missing, and the one pulled from the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body is the same style, so anyone would be suspicious.
