Despite the Isekai-like setting, which was like the Middle Ages era, where the nobles were still at the top, this world was highly advanced, as the train existed.
At this moment, being brought by Natsu and Happy, Sato was inside the drain, leaning against the armrest as he looked at the window, wondering why he felt like he saw a familiar figure, who seemed to exude a powerful, wrathful aura.
"—?!" 2x
"N-Natsu... why did I feel like my life was in danger?" Happy, the cute flying blue cat, asked nervously and tearfully.
"BWEEGGGGHHHHHH!"
While Natsu could feel the danger that came from behind, the train made him have extreme motion sickness, which made him extremely weak and want to puke.
Fortunately, Sato was there, whether he wanted to or not, and he helped them. "Just sleep. I will wake you up when we arrive."
"T-Thanks, Sato!" Natsu smiled brightly, then said, "B-But I am glad that you really can walk!"
"Me too." Sato also smiled as he was happy that he could walk, and at the same time, he was also glad that Natsu pulled him up, since if he was left there, he knew that, as Porlyusica had said before, he would be devoured without any resistance.
Mirajane was too strong for him, and because of that, he needed to grow stronger!
Then again, there were too many tragedies in this world, where they all had to cry and bleed to fight, so if he could stop them, it was great, right?
Still, even so, he didn't want to be hurt again, but he wasn't sure whether he would be okay if he was hurt once again.
However, everything took time, and even if he could do nothing, he knew that his comrades would be there to support him, like how they supported him with many of his attempts and because of that, he didn't mind helping Natsu, and helping him would bring him more benefit than not, since having one of the strongest magicians in the world as his ally, was better than an enemy, right?
Or rather, why the heck did he have to treat such a guy, who had a pitiful past, badly?
Still, why did Natsuo want to invite him to Hargeon City?
"I want to see a dragon!"
"...dragon?"
"Yes, I heard from Krov that there was a dragon there!"
In simple terms, Krov, one of the members of the Fairy Tail, told Natsu that his father, Igneel, the dragon, was in Hargeon, as he had heard that a dragon, which was called a "Salamander," was there.
So, what was the Salamander?
'Isn't Salamander the nickname of Natsu?'
As Happy chirped told what had happened, Sato was silent for a while and said, "You should beat Krov later."
"W-Why...?!" Natsu asked in confusion before he puked.
Still, Sato looked at Happy, who could only shake his head.
Despite being a silly, or even an idiot, Natsu cared about his family, especially his father, Igneel, who had somehow disappeared. Still, no one really believed his story since, from what he had told everyone, he said that his father was a dragon, the Fire Dragon King, Igneel.
Out of all people, everyone had made fun of Natsu, but Sato didn't since he knew the story of the Fairy Tail, so he knew well that instead of disappearing, Igneel was inside Natsu's body, becoming part of his power.
'It's like the Sacred Gear somehow.'
The Sacred Gear from the world of DxD came from the artefact that was created by the God of the Bible. It was said that those artifacts were created from the mythical creatures, and when humans possessed such artifacts, they naturally possessed the potential of those creatures.
If Sato had to say, it was like the "Take-Over" magic that was learned by the Strauss siblings, Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna, who could gain the power of the creatures that they had taken over inside them.
'When I go home, let's ask them to teach me.'
His aptitude was average before, but with the Twice Critical, he should be able to learn faster and increase his potential further.
'It would be better if there were more Sato...'
Unfortunately, it needed a lot of energy to connect to another Sato, but as it would take a while for him to do that, he decided to accompany Natsu for a trip to Hargeon, the port town that was famous for the fisheries.
"There are a lot of fish!"
"Salamander, where are you!?"
As they arrived, Happy and Natsu quickly ran on their own.
"..." Sato.
Shouldn't he try to stop them?
No.
After all, it was just a waste of time, and it was better to tire them out before collecting them later, as he enjoyed a trip in the city like how one kept a golden retriever.
Instead of thinking of Natsu and Happy, he wondered whether he could get something in this place, thinking to get souvenirs, to calm the anger of Mirajane, so she wouldn't kill Natsu and be gentle to him.
At the same time, he also thought about which magic he should learn more.
"Take Over Magic, then, what is it?"
The Take Over Magic was necessary, especially when he was connected to the world of DxD, where he could take over the unique creatures of the world DxD to grow stronger.
Still, when he was in his own thoughts, he sensed someone was using an annoying magic.
'Charm...'
Due to Sato DxD, his senses were also heightened, especially when he was also reincarnated into a devil, and because of that, he noticed someone who used a harmful magic that should be banned, so when he looked around to find the user until he noticed a group of women who worshipped a single man, seemingly in a state of intoxication, and completely fallen.
"Bwahahaha! Come to my party tonight, okay~? This Salamander will welcome all of you well on my ship~! I will give you the greatest happiness~!"
"Salamender-sama!"
"So dreamy!"
"I will! I will even bring my mother!"
"..." Sato.
There were many things that he wanted to say, but it was due to this type of person that the majority of people didn't have a good impression of a magician, as they could easily harm normal people, and because of that, he dashed directly!
However, he also thought of using his new ability.
Promotion: Knight!
The pawn within his body quickly transformed into a knight, increasing his speed.
Twice the speed! Twice the physical ability! Twice the senses! Twice the focus!
At that moment, he felt so powerful, his figure seemed to become one with the wind, completely impossible to follow with the eyes, and because of that, his fist was hurt!
"Bwahahaha! You are all welcome~! I will make sure that—"
As the man laughed lewdly as he saw all of the women that surrounded him, he couldn't wait for tonight, but all of a sudden, his face was smashed!
"GUWEH!"
Teeth and blood flew out as his so-so face distorted before he was smashed into the ground!
"..." Everyone.
Sato crushed the magic item, the ring, which emitted the power of charm, to pieces, and everyone quickly awoke from the effect of the magic, which made all of them look around in confusion.
Still, he didn't say much and just pulled this criminal, who used magic to harm all the women, but when he was about to leave, one among the women tried to stop him, "W-Wait a moment! Thanks for helping me! I-I want to thank you! Wait a moment! Don't leave first!"
Naturally, Sato stopped and told the woman that she had no need to thank him, but did she really want to thank him?
All of a sudden, the woman, who seemed to be in a hurry, slipped or was knocked by the feet of those women who had awoken, and subconsciously she tried to reach something to save herself.
"Ahhh!"
Unfortunately, even if she could grasp something, she couldn't stop her fall and could only moan in pain.
"It hurts!"
Yet, her hands kept grasping something as she rubbed her head before she felt everything was all quiet.
"What's happening?"
She looked up and stayed silent since she had pulled down the pants of her savior.
"...."
Click!
The sound of the shutter echoed as the flash burst over them.
"..."
She knew that she needed to say something, as she knew well that she had messed up!
"I-I fell by accident! T-Te-he~!"
"....."
"First, can you let go of my pants?"
"Ah, um, yes! Also, I AM SORRY!"
Yet, while the Salamender, the title of the famous strongest fire mage on the Fiore, was a fake, it seemed a dragon had truly appeared in Hargeon Town.
