Mushoku Tensei – Old Dragon’s Tale

It was then a year later that Lady Dora came to inspect.

That day I was sitting down to be held by a sleeping Saleyacht, eating meat with him, teaching words to Saleyacht.

"This... surprised you"

Master Dora looked at me like that and looked unexpected.

No, maybe you were stunned.

You don't look too surprised.

"Dear Dora... this is rude...!

I, on the other hand, thought disrespect was unacceptable to Master Dora, and immediately stood up and tried to give her the most salute.

"No, you can keep it that way"

Master Dora stopped me like that and looked seriously at Saleyacht.

There was curiosity in those eyes.

"Has that young dragon become so obedient..."

"Grrrrrrrr......"

To Dear Dora's uncanny gaze, Saleyacto raised his hips, bowed his head, and raised a roar that threatened him.

"Stop it, Saleyacht, it's Dora."

Saleyakt went quiet as soon as I said.

But the color of vigilance did not disappear from those eyes.

I became friends with Saleyakt.

But that didn't make Saleyakt the fine dragon the Dragons deserved.

It was just that Saleyacht stopped being frightened of me.

This timid and cautious dragon admitted to me as safe, but remained no different to the other dragon clans.

Dora's men were also inclined to this.

Normally, if you follow one dragon clan, you'll get used to other dragons.

"I'm sorry, Dear Dora, other than me yet..."

"Fine, rather, I've gotten this far a lot in a year. How the hell did you do that?

"Eat dinner with me. We slept together."

"I don't think it's going to get better to that extent..."

Master Dora looked at Saleyakt with a difficult face.

In front of Dora, Saleyacht was quite nervous.

I slept with him, so I know.

I was scared.

"They're just frightened. If you name it and remove your fear by eating with us, you will open your heart to us every step of the way."

"... I see that's your way"

"Yes, I have a proven track record"

As a matter of fact, at that time, not only Saleyachto, but two other dragons were made dear.

I was next to Saleyacht, two dragons.

Both had bigger bodies than Saleyacht.

When they also treated me in the same way as Saleyakt, they allowed my heart, got used to the Dragon clan, and quickly moved to another cage.

Saleyakt was the only one who wasn't used to the Dragon clan.

He was one of the toughest Red Dragons in the world.

"I hear about the track record... hmmm..."

Lady Dora took my report and thought about it a little.

I guess it bothered me about whether what this newcomer is saying is true or not.

If what I said is true, it is not strange to think that the work that Master Dora and I have been doing for thousands of years has been denied.

That, too, is to the young man I have taught for decades.

Of course, I didn't mean it that way at the time... but I did what they didn't think I could do.

Something they didn't think they could do?

That's, "Re-tuning Individuals Who Fail to Tune."

Yes, Saleyacht was an individual who failed to teach.

Dora's tutorial begins by provoking the dragon, causing it to strike, and then stopping beating it.

Teach me how to go up and down.

Most dragons know that the Dragons must not turn against them.

However, there are individuals who rarely fall for such thoughts.

Individuals like that try to escape their scary opponents anyway.

I mean, you recognize the Dragons as a terrible enemy you'll never win.

If this happens, that Red Dragon will never submit to the Dragons again.

It means that organisms are not as simple as all individuals are obedient just to the beating.

Dragons who do not obey the Dragons will be disposed of.

Cruel?

I can only say that because you live in peace now.

The Red Dragon will always be an enemy if you miss it.

The fact that you let one get away could also kill your people.

So if you don't obey, I'll kill you. Kill and eat the meat.

It's really simple.

I'm just giving you the right to choose whether or not to obey first, which is too sweet.

Nevertheless, killing a dragon who has failed to teach is the most insignificant job.

The time and effort I've put into this is the moment to return to nothing.

So let the newcomer take care of the dragon that failed to tune in.

Let them try this and learn that some dragons do not obey.

In learning, newcomers learn that dragons that do not obey are dangerous and can also be eaten and killed during tutoring.

Then let them kill the dragon that doesn't obey.

In doing so, the new recruit learns one thing.

The dragons we usually see are not the same as the wild ones.

However, I was well suited to such dragons.

Maybe the experience of being a wild child in the demonic world lived.

I found out the dragon was just frightened.

I could do anything but beat him up.

So unfortunately, I don't know.

That there are dragons that don't obey.

In fact, I still think so.

If we do this right, we can get any dragon through our minds.

"Okay."

Master Dora was troubled, but after a while, he hit Pong and his hand.

"You'll be sent here for a while to take care of the dragon."

But Master Dora told me so.

Wouldn't you be wonderful?

I took more fruit than my pride.

That's what she does for loyalty to Dragon God.

Her criterion is whether it will be for the Dragon God and hence for the Dragon Realm.

There are not so many who can forsake their pride, even in the former dragon kingdom.

"Make every dragon you can flexible and tunable"

In the end, she didn't say this room was a "room of failed individuals waiting to be disposed of."

Maybe he took into account me.

But I'm sure she's smart.

I guess you were already guessing that that wasn't the room anymore.

■

Since that day, my work has been busy.

There were not so many dragons that failed to teach, but because Master Dora turned her hand to send such dragons from the tutoring grounds that existed throughout the dragon kingdom.

Every individual, when he saw me, was frightened, intimidated, trying to escape.

Some of them were greatly hurt and dying dragons, and the intensity of the dragon tribe's ordination was caught in sight.

Neither did I get along with all those individuals.

No matter how hard I tried, there was a kid who wouldn't open his heart.

It was Saleyakt who helped such individuals with their flexibilities.

When Saleyakt found such an individual, he approached him and said something.

I don't even know what that is.

I taught him Dragon God, but I didn't learn Dragon from him.

But he did say something to the dragons.

Sometimes he used his tail as well as words to gently tap and roll his opponent's dragon.

It's a sign of trust and reassurance.

The Red Dragon reassures the opponent and uses his tail to calm him down.

I didn't know that at the time.

At first, I thought it was a courtship signal or something.

Saleyakt was much better at manipulation than I was.

No, in this case, I guess Dragon Heart Mastery.

Well, either way.

When the dragons met Saleyachto for a few days, they soon became adults.

Even after leaving me and moving to normal discipline, I became a brave, brave, superior individual, more obedient than any other individual.

I guess the beaten but unobedient individuals originally had such qualities.

Me and Saleyakt got those guys to follow well and ship more and more.

Salyakt himself, you don't miss anything but me.

When that happened, my ratings came up, too.

Let them follow dragons they can't let them follow in other tutoring grounds.

It also turns out that such individuals are superior to obedient individuals from the outset.

Rumors broke out that he was a good tutor, producing good individuals.

So many newcomers came in after me to talk to me.

Of course I taught them what I was doing.

I didn't even mean to do anything special to hide it.

Most people didn't do as well as I did.

But still fewer individuals were killed and more excellent dragons.

In response to this, the teaching method has changed slightly.

The way I did it began to be incorporated into the manual.

So, I wonder how long it was.

A hundred years or so.

Only then did I fit into the position of head of the clerk to retool the failed dragon, and my men were able to do so.

Even so, I don't have a position.

As for those who teach dragons, they were beginning to see them at a glance.

An amazing guy showed up.

Mixed blood with the Demons, but adopted by the Dragon God, seems to be Dora's disciple.

Young men see how he does it, where he learns and where he should imitate it.

Oh, my God.

By this time, it felt good to go back to Dragon God's mansion.

When I was helping Dragon God, I could feel it.

Every day I told Dragon God, Lunaria and the servants what dragon I had tutored that day.

These are just the right days to be doing well.

It was a good day.

It's been a really good day.

I loved all kinds of dragons, and I was loved by dragons, too.

Lunaria and Dragon God were also accepting of me.

If there is something called the happiest, fullest days for me, I guess it refers to those days.

■ ■ ■

So LaPlath noticed that Rosterina was changing her face.

A slight physical change in complexion and expression…

Because Rostellina was swelling her cheeks.

"What's wrong with you?

"Does the happiest and fullest mean it's different now?

Now LaPlath has a qualitative life.

For a certain purpose, although he descends from the mountains several times a year, he basically persists in his room and continues to write books.

I mean, it's no exaggeration when it comes to living with Rostellina and me.

"Hmm...... right, Rostellina. It's bad for you, but now, unlike then, I have a mission. Fun and happiness are a little different."

……

Rosterina felt so sad.

If you don't enjoy being with yourself, why am I here?

Shouldn't we pack up and leave tomorrow too......

"But, Rostellina"

"Yeah......"

"As you know, I don't like loneliness. Life today is full of anxiety and impatience, and one could be crushed"

"Thanks to you. Thank you, Rostellina."

"Yes! Your husband!

Rosterina's expression became brighter.

Even my useless self is doing something for Laplace.

It was a great pleasure to hear that fact from LaPlath himself.

"But, Master, I have one question"

"What is it, Rosterina?"

"I heard about your familiarity with Mr. Dragon, but the dragon at heart has not come out"

"Oh?"

With that said, LaPlath put her hand in the spotted hair and scratched her head with a burr.

"What are you talking about, Rosterina? I'm out of here. Okay, then."

"It's Saleyacht. That red dragon that lives behind our house and is the lord of this mountain is the first dragon I've ever met."

"Yea!

Rosterina raised her scream.

At the same time, I got embarrassed.

If you ask me, you're right.

So why did you think the dragon in the story was another dragon?

I'm sure that's because it didn't tie.

I didn't know that lazy, all rice eating, not even flying to Loc, and obedient Red Dragon to La Plus and Rosterina on the other hand, was a ferocious, unheartening, hard-won salyact.

"Was Mr. Dragon, Mr. Saleyakt!?

"Yes, sir."

But in retrospect, I think LaPlath used to call the dragon Saleyacht from time to time.

Rostellina, who never cared about her name or anything, could not hide her surprise.

"That Saleyacht is also now Red Dragon King Saleyacht. Looks like he's getting a little busy."

When LaPlath said so, a grumpy roar echoed from behind the house.

Apparently, he heard you.

"Hahaha, you're mad"

"Ha... I didn't know Mr. Dragon was such a great guy"

"I bet you do. But that's why Rosterina. You have to show him some respect."

"Yes, my lord!

Rostellina replied loudly.

If the dragon you always take care of is that great, it was about temper too.

"Oh?"

and so LaPlath looked up out the window.

There was a big full moon up there.

How long has it been since it was night?

"I'm sorry, Rosterina, but I'm going out for a little while. Next time."

"Yes! Your husband!

Rostellina did not speak selfishly and dropped off LaPlath.

What, I'm long-eared.

Not as good as Laplace, but long lived.

Even if we get separated for a few days, one day we can hear more.

I have to keep this house clean, even for when LaPlath returns.

"Phew... but go to sleep today"

Nevertheless, you can't beat drowsiness.

Rosterina went back to bed to feed her English from tomorrow.
