Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System-Novel

“This… what is all of this!?” Thurul stared at the images with wide eyes. He stood up and got closer to the images trying to take them all in. “This…. Where did you get all of this!?”

I chuckled to see how excited Thurul was. “I found it all in a dungeon I last entered. I was hoping we could form a team….”

“Let’s go! Right now! We need to get started on this right away!” Thurul suddenly yelled out, causing everyone to be startled.

“Thurul, give at least two days to prepare. Getting to the Dwarven kingdom will take time.” I said, trying to calm him down. I know he wanted to get things started right away, but first, we needed to prepare.

“Alright, two days. But you need to go with me. To make those old guys move, we need someone with enough power and influence in this kingdom. And that is you.” Thurul replied.

“Alright. I will first tell the king and begin preparations. We will meet here at your shop by first bell two days from today.” I had to make sure everyone was set before I left. This included telling the king and also telling the dean that I would be gone for a while. Luckily I was ahead in my studies. Not that the curriculum was hard, but I did wish to have some more time studying how to command armies better. While I did think I did okay this time around, I still ended up finishing everything myself. Which, in truth, was not ideal. I also had many things to take care of as well. Maybe I should set up a barrier around the entire kingdom….

“Alright, I am off. I will see you in two days.” I said as I picked up the crystal orb. Thurul’s expression sank as the images disappeared. I chuckled and said my goodbyes, and headed back to the house with Jen.

“So…. You are heading to the dwarven kingdom. To think the Faith I know who used to lock herself in her room unless dragged out would be willing to go to another kingdom at will.” I looked at Jen and stuck my tongue out at her. Only she would tease me like this.

“It is all for the plans I have in mind,” I said with a smile.

“But it seems to me that your plans pretty much put you in a position that will make you in a higher power than the king himself. Why not just take the king up on his offer and become queen?” Jen asked.

“A queen can not make trips as she pleases, nor can she accomplish everything she wants when stuck dealing with nobles and other political matters. Think about it. When did those in charge on Earth ever run around as they pleased while not taking care of their duties? I don’t want to be locked down. Nor do I have the will to take full control of a country. My goal is to assist the kingdom that has been so good to my family and me.” I explained. I do not have such lofty goals of being a ruler. While I have had a few dreams where such a thing has happened, but that did not mean it would come to pass. However, it does seem some things will move in that direction no matter how much I try to ignore it. It’s just that…

“This time, I will need to go alone….” I needed the girls to do me a favor while I was gone because I could be gone for more than a month. I needed the girls to help watch over my mother. I will be setting up a temporary teleport from wherever I am to quickly make a trip back to the capital to take my mother to the fortune teller, but I will need to return quickly and continue my journey.

“So you will be heading out?” The king asked after I told him my plans.

“Yes, I will be heading to the dwarven kingdom to bring back people to help me with the things we talked about,” I answered. I kept it vague as I did not want others to know about what I had hidden under my estate.

“I understand. A trip to the dwarven capital will take four years by airship. We do have a teleportation circle set up for the kingdom, but it can only be used for political means. So I can not allow you to use it. I am sorry. But I can allow you to take an airship. We do have a small airship that can make the trip in four years’ time.” The king’s words made me remember just how vast this world is. While I could probably make it there in a shorter time if I was by myself, but sadly I needed to bring Thurul with me in order to have any chance of finding people. But this made me slightly confused….

“Wait, how did the sly cat from the beast kingdom and the elf princess of the elf kingdom get here so quickly?” I asked because it made no sense for them to arrive here in such a short time.

“They had special means to arrive in our kingdom. I can not say how they did it. But if you were to become….”

“Stop! Why does our conversation always turn out like this!? Anyway…. I will be speaking to the Dean as well since I need to set up a way to keep taking my military tactics courses. I don’t want to fall behind since by the time I get back, I will be able to graduate.” I really did not want to miss anything, so I figured with some runic inscriptions, I might be able to set up a few things to allow me to still attend class and also talk with my family and loved ones while I am gone. With an emergency teleport set up, I can also return almost instantly if need be.
