Tensei Kenja Episode 9

"We Fought a Fire Dragon" is the ninth episode of the "Tensei Kenja" Anime adaptation.

Synopsis
The Fire Dragon emerges from the volcano, nearby the village forcing Yuji to stop and defeat it. Learning that the incident was orchestrated by members of the Blue Moon of Salvation located in Ordarion, Yuji makes that his next destination point.

Summary
Witnessing the volcano erupt as the Fire Dragon emerged from it, Yuji contacted Proud Wolf's group and learned they were fine. He then orders them to be on alert and relay any changes to him. Contacting Surapacchi, Yuji learns that the two men carrying barrels are heading toward where the Fire Drago was located. An invisible Mayusura eavesdrops on the conversation of the two men targeting the Fire Dragon. One of the men notes that their plan is infallible due to the instructions given to them by the guys in Ordarion. Hoping to learn what the men were carrying in the barrels, Yuji casts Magical Net in hopes of capturing them, but they deftly dodge the spell. Figuring it was just a trap, the two continue forward, and again Yuji has Mayusura cast Magical Net, only for him to get pierced by a sword thrown at him by one of the men. Despite Mayusura's cover being blown, Yuji manages to have Surapacchi catch the men in a Magical Net. Unable to move and surrounded by the Slimes, the men commit suicide to avoid interrogation. Deducing that the men were part of the Blue Moon of Salvation, Yuji has the Slimes investigate the barrels. With the presence of Magical Stones in the area, Yuji summons Dryad to seek her opinion on the situation. Dryad then details that the water carried in the barrels was contaminated by the malignance of the Magical Stones and Yuji suspects they'd be used against the Fire Dragon. Hence, Yuji casts Dispel Extreme through Higesura on the water barrels, purifying them. With her job complete, Dryad returns to the forest as the Slimes notice the Lesser Fire Dragons start to act up. The innkeeper then knocks at Yuji's door and warns him that the rain will pour down soon.

Outside, the people of the village begin to evacuate as thunder rumbles in the sky, and it starts to rain. As Yuji stands outside the village with the volcano in sight, he recalls the warning the innkeeper gave him about how the Fire Dragon never awakens during a rainy time like then. Proud Wolf's group then warns Yuji that the Dragon is heading in his direction and that the rain is hurting the Lesser Fire Dragons. Commentary of the innkeeper reveals that fifty years ago, during the last rain storm, the Fire Dragon bathed all of Boginia in flames. As the village residents continue to evacuate, Yuji has Proud Wolf's group head to the first river that blocks the Dragon's path to the village and has Proud Wolf observe the Fire Dragon see if he'll cross it. Proud Wolf's group does, and they note the hot climate change in the area and witness the Dragon pass through, causing the piranha in it to die and the river to evaporate. As the Fire Dragon heads to the second river, Yuji states they're going to fight it and has Proud Wolf confront it by the second river. He then tries to freeze it a few times, but all attempts fail. When the Fire Dragon reaches the second river, Yuji dispels the barrier he used to damn a stream of water that drowns the Fire Dragon. However, it's still not enough to stop the Fire Dragon, and as it tries to launch a giant fireball at the village, Yuji proxy casts Permafrost Curse through Surapacchi and freezes it. Once frozen, the Fire Dragon shatters and leaves behind its jewel; a strange device is also found at the site.

Afterward, Yuji visits Geigel's shop and asks him to craft something with the Fire Dragon's Jewel that he has. Later at the Adventurer's Guild, Yuji asks the receptionist for information on Ordarion. The receptionist claims that Ordarion isn't a popular place due to its value of privacy and doesn't like interference from outside towns or villages. Yuji then shows the receptionist the device he found at the volcano, who informs him that it's an artificial Rain Maker that nearly every guild has to combat droughts. The receptionist also notes that the name of where the Rain Maker came from was etched out. Recalling what the two men he tailed earlier said about Ordarion, Yuji suspects that the Rain Maker came from there.

The following day, Yuji visits Geigel's shop and receives his new armor from Geigel. Before leaving to try it out, Geigel asks for Yuji's name, but he responds that he hopes to stay anonymous.

Elsewhere, a member of the Blue Moon of Salvation casts a spell on himself, and in a town somewhere else, a hooded young man accompanies Steyl.
