6-Year Old Sage Wants to Tread in The Shadows ~Becoming the Ruler of Darkness and Training My Retainers I’ll Build the Strongest Country~

The dragonmen watching the gunpowder explosion from a slightly distant formation greeted me with surprise and joy.

"Chieftain, what a surprise! I can't believe you let the sparks of battle explode in every Magic Royal Castle!

"But how the hell did you do it!? Chieftain, you can't use magic..."

"Hmm, well, that's...."

The chief glanced at me.

Of course I've heard that you can't use magic.

In this regard, the chief has arranged things well, but it seems better to help him.

The magic of the chief was really amazing! I'm surprised!

What, the magic of the chief?

The dragon men who follow my words. [M]

I took a deliberate breath and blocked my mouth with both hands.

Of course it's an act.

"Ah! I'm sorry, Chieftain. I was told that the elder could use magic and wanted to keep it quiet. I spoke inadvertently."

The chief did magic!? What do you mean!?

I made a promise to the chief! I want you to make sure you can't use magic in front of everyone now. If even the mighty chief finds out that he can use magic, he'll make a big fuss. It would be tough if it became a kind of unnecessary war like gunpowder. "

The rhetoric of unnecessary fighting seeds may not have been childish.

But my lies were enough to convince the dragonmen. [M]

Wow, Chieftain! When did you get to use magic!?

"Ah, ahh... well, it seems that brainwashing was the trigger. Someday you can use magic....."

That's our chief!

The werewolves also ran away with their tails wrapped around them!

Now we can avoid a futile battle. It's all thanks to the chief. "

That explosion... the chief threw gunpowder!? I can't believe it's that powerful!!

After returning to the main line with the troops on the front line, the words of praise to the chief were not exhausted.

The shadow of the betrayal of the elite troops was also handled brilliantly in this matter.

The chief has seen me flicker from time to time as uncomfortable, but of course I spend it knowingly.

No, chief.

I'll leave everything to the chief this time.

You helped me on those terms, didn't you?

The truth is that I broke the rules. [M]

The chief scratched his head in trouble, and then turned to his men.

"Ah... I'm sorry, everyone."

"Chieftain...!?

The dragonmen shouted with surprise when the chief, who had been treated like a hero, lowered his head.

"I'm sorry that there was so much gap that I was able to imply magic. I should have realized sooner that there were traitors as chiefs."

"Oh no... the chief is not bad!

"The elite unit with those vile hands is bad! You picked the elite, didn't you?

"I was the one who kept using that elite unit. I didn't see it either."

The chief raised his face and looked around at everyone's faces.

"From now on, I'm going to change my mind more and work for my family. Can you help me?

Ah!

"Of course! We'll follow you!

As I saw the dragonmen surround the chief again, I gently tried to leave the scene.

However...

Human guests. I want you to come with me to the dragon colony. After that, I want to decide on the arrangements for the welcome banquet. Why don't you tell me what your favorite dish is? "

The human side, including the princess, could not conceal his surprise in the words of the chief.

Even though the distance has narrowed considerably in one day today, it is unprecedented for the Demons to invite humans to a feast.

The princess questioned the chief with caution.

Chief of the Dragon clan, can you do that? Wouldn't it be a bad idea to welcome people?

I am also thinking about that. I won't do anything wrong. "

What do we do? Clara, oneechan. "

I dare to ask using a pseudonym.

Clarice is a princess of a country, even if she's lying about her identity.

It's not just a knight.

When she was invited by the Demons to make a friendship and became aware of her influence, the wise princess soon understood my intentions.

After lying down her eyes as she pondered, a strong color of determination appeared in the eyes of the princess who raised her face.

Chief, I have something to tell you before you invite me to the settlement.

What?

I am Clarisse, Princess of Mary Land. This time, I came near the border to make a false identity check. "

"Hi, princess!? Don't reveal that!

The knights of the guard panicked, but the princess shook her head.

The Dragon clan says they will invite us. If so, we can't lie about who we are and why we're here. "

The princess was majestic.

The figure looks very splendid.

Invite us as people you happen to know, or see us as a group of princesses who came to visit Mary's country. I'll leave my judgment to the chief.

Having a human princess as a guest means having national relations with the country of humans.

The chief has been forced to make a considerable decision.

However, he bowed respectfully without putting in his hair.

Of course, let's welcome you. Princess Clarisse. "

……

The fact that she welcomed a human princess as a princess.

At this moment, I definitely felt that something had started.

I'm not the only one.

Perhaps everyone here has noticed.

◇ ◇ ◇

After we arrived at the dragon colony, we were invited to the chief's mansion.

Wow. Wow.

The moment I dived through the double-open gate and entered, such words leaked naturally.

The chief's mansion was quite rarely decorated.

The interior was decorated with bold and intricately crafted furniture and furnishings that first caught my eye.

The walls and ceilings are also engraved with delicate patterns.

Carpets, screens, benches and desks were all unified in black, gold and vermilion.

Not only is it luxurious, but it also seems to enchant the overwhelming beauty.

But I don't feel uncomfortable.

Is this the culture of the demons?

It's novel and interesting.

I have traveled to the eastern country once in my previous life, but the atmosphere is somewhat similar.

Wow. It's a dragon's head that's decorated on a mantle piece.

Usually it's where the deer are decorated, but the demons are different in size.

As expected, Princess Clarisse, who was walking next door, sighed softly when she thought this was not a bad hobby.

What a lovely room, Eddie!

Her eyes were nailed to the dragon's head.

Confused by the princess who showed off her unexpected hobbies, the unarmed chief showed himself from the back room.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

"No, it's an honor to have you here."

I prepared this.

The chief said so and took out a piece of paper.

This is...!

The princess, who received the paper offered, opened her eyes with a voice of surprise.

Stretch out a little and peek at the paper.

Contract documents written in the official language?

I thought it was impossible, and I ran my eyes.

As well as understanding the contents, the surprise spread to my chest.

I've caused a lot of trouble for our convenience. You can't go home with your bare hands. [M] It's not a gift, but take it home if you want. "

In writing, "In the future, the Dragon Clan will build friendly relations with humans. As part of this, we will discuss with the human side and in the future we will also consider concluding a treaty to protect our borders with human beings."

This is good news.

If the Dragons can protect the border, the human side will benefit considerably.

Chief, are you sure you want to do this?

The chief nods back to the princess who asks.

In this case, I found it necessary to walk with other species. Power alone will eventually destroy us. First of all, I want to team up with you guys. "

At that moment, the princess smiled and hugged her in writing.

Fufu. If you do that, you'll be wrinkled.

"Dear Eddie, I'm happy. I'm thrilled to be here for reconnaissance and to have achieved so much. The King will be delighted!

Certainly.

I never thought this would happen when you left the castle.

With that in mind, I smiled naturally.

Like the chief, Princess Clarice expresses her feelings honestly.

I like such people. [M]

To the extent that you don't want to get in trouble, I'll put it on the shelf and help you out.

Anyway, I'm glad we both came up with satisfactory results.

It was worth sticking my neck in.

This is the first time in a long history that I have made such a connection with the Demons. And it's all... "

Without saying anything until the end, the princess looks back at me.

I was in trouble when I was poured with enthusiasm to show my respect. [M]

Maybe the princess knows what I did. [M]

I thought there was nothing I could do if the princess found out about it, and now I can't be further deluded.

Yes, Princess. Can I have a moment with you two, please?

"With Eddie?

The princess looked at me as if she would mind. [M]

If you talk in a place where there are other people, you might have trouble with this bowl.

Not at all.

You're a bad man, chief.

When you say something like that, you're giving me a lot of trouble.

"Dear Eddie, Are you sure?

As I nodded, the princess left the room quietly. [M]

I didn't look unexpectedly worried.

Perhaps the princess also recognized the chief as a trusted opponent.

The princess left and went to the reception room alone.

So, what are you talking about?

Suddenly the chief knelt before he finished asking.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

"Chief, what are you doing?

Let me thank you again. Thanks to your instructions, we found the killer and dealt with him correctly. I wouldn't have noticed brainwashing in the first place, and I would have gone to the worst fight. "

That's fine. I had my doubts, and I helped. "

I hate being tough, but the chief doesn't listen.

I even felt a little hot and painful as he looked up at me with a serious face in his kneeling position.

The subject of the story is different. I've lost everything to you. That's why I want you to be my lord. "

What?

"The Demons must obey the mightiest."

What are you talking about? You must be the chief. "

Ah, so speaking of the chief, it's the king. I want you to reign as king of this dragon clan. "

No, no, that's impossible.

What are you really saying?

I'm human. That's impossible. And I want to live in peace. "

"Do you think the world will leave a child with that power behind? Moreover, you have already acted with a princess of a country. Isn't that a sign of eye contact?

It follows me where it hurts.

Can't you think of this? The shortest way to live in peace is to keep us at hand. Now that the Demon King is dead, the Demons are entering an era of chaos. In a world of war, it is impossible to live in peace and security. Especially if he is as powerful as your lord. It's decided to be driven into battle. "

It is troublesome to be told that way.

That's why I kept saying no.

But the chief has no sign of pulling a step.

"I go to school as a normal kid."

I don't mind going to school, that's right!

The chief rubs his forehead to the floor with a loud noise.

Oh, already.

A king, a chief, what do you think a normal child is?

Ordinary kids don't go to school and work hand in hand with kings or do demonic kings.

When the problem occurs, I want you to shake the harvest. I swear your presence will never be on the table! Please reign over our dragon people as the ruler of darkness!

The ruler of darkness......

What a reverence.

When I put my hand on my hips, I sighed lightly. [M]

The seriousness of the chief has been conveyed so much that he doesn't like it.

Besides, he had a point.

A hidden presence in the dark, hidden from the public.

I don't hate this chief, so I guess I'll take it from here.

It's better than being dragged out to the front stage by force.

Anyway, this time I want to walk in the shade of everything.

I am also responsible for this development. [M]

Then, can I make a condition?

Of course!

As the chief said earlier, the chief of the clan remained the chief of the clan. I just hold out from the shadows. Of course it is forbidden to give my name. [M] Can you keep your promise?

Ha! As this Adonis, your shadow warrior, I will strive with sincerity!

Chief, it's called Adonis.

Then, I don't need any authority over the Dragons. I don't like being pressed. I'll give you directions and give you a little help when something goes wrong. [M] If it's going to be any trouble, I'll get out of this seat right away. "

Of course. If you try it once and still feel burdened, you can quit immediately, my lord!

Not the Lord. Leave me at least as a counselor.

I feel kind of cared for first.

But if it really bothers you, throw it all away and run.

In this way, I was not motivated and a very irresponsible "ruler of darkness" was born.
