Mushoku Tensei – Old Dragon’s Tale

I handcuffed the bad guy and transported him to Long Ming Shan.

He woke up on the way, too, but he didn't make it.

Anyway, it's a handcuff to tie the dragon clan up.

It has the power to suppress and disperse forces.

Even though they were just demons, they had to be quiet when they handcuffed them.

Or did you give up, or was another emotion swirling?

I don't know that I accomplished my mission and was overflowing with joy.

Either way, it's a triumph.

"Laplace!"

It was Shillard who welcomed me back in a spirit.

There are eight entrances to Ryukyu Mountain, but Schillard welcomed me with a number of Ryukyus, especially as I tried to enter through a large entrance.

No, when you say that, you have a narrative.

He hasn't heard from anyone. When someone approaches the entrance, he takes the dragon warrior to the guard.

Protecting Mt. Ryu is one of his tasks.

I was out like a guerrilla, and naturally I hadn't heard from him back home either.

That's why Shillard welcomed me.

Yes, you once brought me back, like a dragon god.

"You did it!?

And when he saw me, and Saleyacht, and those with me, he was greatly amazed.

"Yes!"

"Well done!

And with the look of joy, he welcomed me.

Exactly, you were welcome.

And the other dragon men, when they heard that they had caught the vengeance of General Wu Long, boiled.

So many dragon warriors boiled in joyful voices, exploring other memories but not coming out inside.

"Laplace. Thank you for your hard work"

"Thank you. Dear Shirad, But not until how this guy came to the dragon kingdom and how he killed Master Crystal..."

I was sure it did.

But when you think about it, there was no evidence.

There is no certainty that this guy did it.

When I understood that, words shriveled.

I came back to you in a spirit of exasperation, but I thought maybe you brought in a completely irrelevant existence.

Even though it rarely happens, there are cases of metastasis not only in the dragon world, but also in other worlds.

I thought it was just the victim I attacked...

"Really... oh well. You could only speak Dragon God. All right, I'll do the interrogation."

"Please"

I was thrilled, I turned him in.

This is all the time, all the hard work, the arrest play that led to blowing up one mountain.

That's all I do, and I don't know what I'd do if they told me I was someone else.

But I was tired too.

I handed over the unsure but certain person to a trustworthy person, relieved.

So, well, I'm ashamed, I wanted to get home and rest soon.

The first assignment was completed.

If you can't, then no. Anyway, let me sleep now, I thought.

And he was taken by the dragon warriors.

The only thing on his face that was taken was the color of anxiety.

I even thought you were asking me for help.

Or maybe even one of the friendships was budding in the fight.

I didn't have it... but it seems that some Demons form friendships after battle.

And that was the last moment I saw him.

■

Three days and three nights, I kept sleeping.

After I woke up, I ate dinner.

The rice to be eaten beside Master Lunaria was good.

Guess it's because it's dinner after the mission is accomplished.

Then we headed to Maxwell's first.

He was in a training facility in Ryukyung Mountain, in the middle of looking for the best among the young.

I told him that I had captured the bad guy.

At the same time, you've lost your precious men.

Then he slapped me on the shoulder and said, "Well, if you've accomplished the mission, let them float too," he said.

Then I went to Master Dora's.

Honestly, I thought you'd be pissed off and yelled at.

Dora told me to bring my neck, but it didn't come true.

The poor man's neck, with his torso and set, was handed over to Shillard.

With anxiety and readiness in his chest, he entered Master Dora's room.

I'm surprised.

Dora's belly was stunning.

Safe, I was finishing laying eggs.

She was as quiet as a clown.

I guess it's because I finished laying eggs.

I walked up to her and saluted her most.

"The aftermath of your battle has reached this point"

Master Dora said so with a quiet expression.

"Soon, I knew you were fighting. I guess it's because of that, suddenly I realized"

That's what she said, while stroking an egg placed beside herself.

Dragon eggs are about the same size as human babies.

The bitterness of life does not change that much.

"I was born safe, but I was born prematurely. You could be a little immature."

That being said, my hands stroking the eggs were gentle.

I thought even that harsh Dora could do this look.

I'm sorry, but it's extremely rude.

I've only ever seen a strong, loyal Dora.

No, maybe that's what I can call the kind Dora......

Well, let's put that away.

"So, how'd it go?

"Ha, I managed to find the killer, and after the battle, I captured him."

"Right...... hard work. Well, someone else already told me before you got here."

Perhaps Maxwell had heard it beforehand, too.

No matter how slow you walk when you're a dragon tribe, if you sleep three days, it's like that.

Maxwell is doing well and he suited me, so I wish Master Dora would too.

Such a clumsy place is like Dora.

"Sorry for the delay in reporting"

"Never mind. I hear you slept to fall. If we run out of dragon chi, everyone will. It must have been a fierce battle."

"... and I didn't have this with my neck"

With that said, Master Dora smiled bitterly.

"Fine. Where I brought the neck of the regenerator, it doesn't make sense"

When Lady Dora said so, she stroked her eggs again.

So I looked up, as if I thought of something.

"Hey, LaPlath."

"What is it"

Master Dora lifted the egg she was holding and offered it to me.

The egg, wrapped in a soft cloth, was very brittle and was about to break.

"If you don't mind, could you name me?

"Huh...? Dora's son, is it?

"Who else is there"

"Am I...?

"Who else is there"

Master Dora said so twice, "Mmm," and offered me an egg.

I thought it would be better to have other Wu Long generals and Dragon gods follow me than to ask me to do something.

I hesitated to hold it.

My hands shook.

"Don't worry. Dragon eggs don't crack so easily."

Master Dora told me that, and I was finally able to hold an egg.

The eggs were warm.

When I hugged him with my arm, something like a heartbeat came through.

I had had some dragon eggs but they were all cold.

I felt something completely different from that.

I'm surprised this is life.

"Come on, make up your mind"

"... Normally, isn't that what you decide after you look at your face? I don't even know if this is a man or a woman."

"Then it's a man. A man is born."

"Can I make my own decision...?

Confused, I was thinking.

Give me a name.

I was already willing to put it on.

I was the man who would do it if he told me to.

"Pergius"

That was the name that came to my mind.

Pergius.

Yes, it's Pergius.

"That's a good name. I'm going to grow up to be a strong, smart, generous kid."

His name is Pergius.

That's how it was decided that day.

■

From then on, the days of nothing lasted for a while.

It's just days to wake up in the morning, go to Shillard's and ask him about his progress, cook dinner at Saleyacht, and sleep.

I don't have a job that looks like work.

Because my future depends on how Shillard interrogates me.

If he's really the killer of the crystal, my mission is accomplished.

Other work...... will probably go back to acting for Dora.

If not, just keep looking.

No, if it was the latter, maybe I would be dismissed for being considered incompetent.

But I was commanded by Dragon God and asked by Dora.

Until the end, I was going to do it.

I don't care what anyone tells me, until the end.

I magically waited for that time.

It was a pale day.

Sometimes I went to see what was going on at the correctional school, but I didn't do my job.

My mood at the time was like a death row inmate.

I only had a bad feeling.

I guess I wasn't used to the days of just waiting.

That may be the first and last day in my long life that I just wait.

No, I wonder if there was anything else... how it went...

Basically, I'm moving with some kind of mission.

I'm a person awaiting instructions, even this.

Now, back to back with my mood like that, time flowed slowly.

A year.

Since I got him, when the year passed, the moment came.

The Dragon God, who had gone to other worlds, returned.

■

A meeting was held.

The agenda, of course, concerns the poor crystal killer.

This meeting was attended not only by me, but also by Lady Dora.

I was already done laying eggs.

It's not her job to warm the eggs.

She will protect the egg until it hatches safely......

If it was an important meeting for General Wu Long, her loyalty was high enough to attend it.

I was seated in Crystal's chair and all the chairs were buried.

"Report."

In the words of the Dragon God, I stood up and gave my most salute.

What comes out of my mouth, regardless, is what I've been doing.

"- That's how people God showed up and advised me where I was going around. Behind my eyes is a demonic eye, and with it, I can discover the bad guy. And after relying on the Devil's Eye, we discovered the example, and after the battle, we captured it."

As succinctly as possible, I told them what I had done.

I thought if I slapped you in the mouth, that would be the end of your precious time.

"Well, did you have God's advice?"

To my words, the dragon god lowered his face.

That's all, I guess the Dragon God trusted the Man God.

"I took you to Long Ming Shan and left the rest to Master Shirad."

When that closed, Shillard stood up.

"The results of the investigation are already available"

When Shillard took the dragon-skinned paper, he began to read what was written there.

"Depending on the research, the bad guy's name is Necroliana Chloria.

He is the blood of the immortal demon king Necross Lacrosse, who takes his name to one of the eight great demons. "

The meeting went out of its way.

"By the life of the demon god, he transferred to the dragon kingdom. He targeted and murdered Dragon General Crystal to stop the development of our dragon world transfer technology. However, there were deficiencies in the art of returning, which forced me to stay in this world. So I erased my tracks and kept lurking…"

It was the chaos that drastically exalted the word.

"I can't forgive you!

Chaos stood up and slammed his fist against the table.

The table made a squeaky noise, but it didn't crush.

I guess I handed it off.

"What have you done to our demons?" If you have a complaint, you should fight square and square, that's an assassination... "

Chaos was so clear and angry in everyone's eyes.

I was mad.

Neither do I.

I didn't put him on the table as much as Chaos, but his hatred for the man was swirling.

"War! We'll beat the demon kings to death and show them to the demon kings!

Chaos insisted so, but the other three, besides his thoughts, were calm.

"... Shillard, is he still alive?

It was Maxwell who heard that.

He also had a sitting eye, but not as much blood on his head as Chaos did.

"I killed him. It's too shabby, I just couldn't stand it."

"Oh, well, I guess so."

Maxwell's tone was mild.

But I get it.

Behind that word was the phrase, "If I were alive, I would stab myself in the stop".

……

Master Dora kept her mouth shut.

But the anger that rose from its whole body was no worse than that of Chaos.

I'm angry they're going to kill me just to get close.

"Dora, you must be boiling back too, the Demons did it!

"Chaos. Shut up... I feel the same way as you do with me"

"... no, I'm sure your anger is stronger than mine"

When Chaos said so, he shut up.

Dora's anger at that time was enough to give way to even Chaos.

That's so much so that the more you touch it at all, the more it could explode.

Shillard looked at them and said:

"Dragon God. Our will is one. Enter the demonic world now, and let the demons receive the reward of missing General Wu Long with shallow thoughts."

……

But the Dragon God was a wise man.

No, I'd rather say I was confused.

I put my hand on my mouth, and you thought deeply and deeply.

……

There must have been some part of the conversation that caught me.

Fools like me don't know, something......

No, it may not matter if you're stupid or not.

We, the Five Dragons, knew too little about the Demons.

And the Dragon God knew the Demon Clan very well.

It's about the god, the demon god.

I guess that's why Dragon God had a different opinion.

After a long silence, the Dragon God said:

"… do not fight"

To that conclusion, General Wu Long was dismayed.

"Oh, no."

"What are you getting lost about"

"If we join forces, they..."

The Dragon God controlled those words with one hand up.

And I said it in a harsh tone.

"One of the five dragon generals and one of the eight demon kings, it's a pain split."

Pain sharing.

I couldn't even go to convince myself.

In the first place, the Demons attacked us, so Crystal died.

And if I hadn't found him, or if I hadn't found him with a flaw in surgery, there wouldn't even have been a situation like this.

The Dragons were grieving, and the Demons were just laughing.

How can you think of that as a pain split?

"If it's a fight, we're not safe either. Demons are not easy opponents. Often, wait."

"Knock..."

"I'll talk to the demon god about this."

But we are servants of the Dragon God.

If that's what the Dragon God said, there's no other way to follow it.

"... Got it"

Everyone felt something like, I don't know.

Even Master Dora, a lump of loyalty, seemed dissatisfied with the decision.

I didn't argue with you out loud, though.

"Dragon God"

"What is it, Syrad? Disgruntled?"

"No, I'm not dissatisfied. If you say that the Dragon God will do so, we will only obey it. It's just... this won't reward LaPlath for all the hard work he's done over time, give him some kind of reward"

I was surprised to hear the words thoroughly.

I was talking about water in my sleeping ear.

I didn't need that.

It was only natural for me to work for Dragon God.

Instead, I wanted to apologize for taking so long.

But when I heard the other Five Dragon generals whine, "That's proper," I shut my mouth.

It took me a while, but as a result, I was able to uncover a demonic conspiracy.

There was no reason to resign.

"Right."

Dragon god, just a little thought there.

And I gave a light answer.

"Then LaPlath. I give you the title of Dragon King and the status of General Wu Long. Follow me from now on and assist me in my compromise with the Demons."

"Hey!

The decision had a further impact on General Wu Long.

No, there were people who were shocked, such as General Wu Long.

It's me.

That I may be added to the throne of General Wu Long.

It's not believable.

It's not a good story to joke about.

It was as if I could not understand why the Dragon God had spoken of such a thing.

"J... I disagree!

That's what I said, not me.

It was chaos.

It is a serious act in the General Wu Long, such as giving opinions to the Dragon God.

But even though it was just him, I guess it was the limit of patience.

I know how that feels, too.

It will be, whether you want to disagree or not.

If I had been on the spot right now, I would surely have disagreed.

"There are others who are competent!

Chaos hated the Demons.

Nevertheless, I did not doubt my loyalty.

If I were to work for the Dragon God, even the Demons would have thought I would endure it.

But it must have been unforgivable to him for me to be General Wu Long, a mixed race with the Demons.

Even if, at this moment, my becoming General Wu Long will help me reconcile with the Devil Nation.

Still, I guess he didn't like to treat those with the blood of the demons who killed Crystal as special beings of the Dragons.

"... please"

Chaos looked at the other five dragon generals, as he asked for consent.

But the reaction of the others was favorable to Chaos's and my anticipation.

"Isn't that good? Sure, this one's young. But loyalty to the Dragon God is twice as strong as a man, and he has the power to carry out his mission."

"and the power to defeat the Eight Demons."

That's what Shillard and Maxwell said.

Then Chaos saw the Dora.

You'd disagree with me, all the time.

"... I've been looking at this guy my whole life.

To say General Wu Long is powerless... but with us, he was once powerless.

By continuing to fight in the presence of Dragon God, we have gained the power we have now. "

That's what Lady Dora said, turning to me.

"LaPlath. This is an honorable thing. More than ever."

When they said that, neither did I.

No, you can't possibly hate it in the first place.

Dora's right, this is a tremendous honor.

My work and dedication are recognized and, at the same time, it also leads to what Dragon God said: "Improving my relationship with the Devil Nation".

Of course, if it is to be General Wu Long, it can also be the hope of the Son of the Dragon God.

The reason why the Dragon God brought me here, all of which will be accomplished.

"... is excessive to me, but I will serve you"

I stood up, crossed my fist in front of my chest, and said so.

You can't even say no.

■ ■ ■

"Thus I am one of the Five Dragon Generals… La Place, the Dragon King"

So LaPlath took a whopping breath.

What a subtle face, like untrained, regrettable.

Rosterina looked at the face and felt anxious.

Whatever. I wanted to know about LaPlath, and I said I want you to talk to me comfortably, but maybe you're asking me something I shouldn't.

LaPlath said he might be letting you talk about something he doesn't want to talk about.

"Master LaPlath... to General Wu Long, didn't you want to be?

"Hmm? That's not true. If you didn't really want to be, even if you bought the dragon god's unhappiness, but you would have said no... but now that I think about it, I still think it was just me at the time. It's an honor."

"Why not? LaPlath was recognized for his power by destroying the other Five Dragons, wasn't he?

"Right. But General Wu Long is not the only one who can be powerful. It shouldn't be."

LaPlath's words were vague and Rostellina didn't quite understand them.

From Rostellina, LaPlath was also a man equal to God.

It's never just about power.

Instead, he thinks he's the right person to stand on people.

"Master LaPlath is a great man. Please help me."

"Really?

"Yes. I was saved by your husband. It is thanks to your husband that you can live in this way while on the body of a curse. I am not familiar with the other Five Dragon Generals, but no one deserves the name of Dragon General more than your husband. I'm sure it is."

Rostellina was born in a long-eared clan (elf) without any change of philosophy.

But Rostellina herself was a strange child.

There was more magic than anything else.

The magic ran wild several times since she was little, destroying the village and killing the villagers.

As a result, she was dumped outside inside.

Abandoned in the corner of the Great Forest, she cried alone.

She didn't have the strength to live alone either.

What awaits is destiny only to be attacked and killed by demons.

What I picked it up was Laplace to hide what.

He unraveled the secrets of Rosterina's body, implanted a magic formation in her, and nullified its overflowing magic.

Thanks to this, Rostellina is able to have a peaceful day.

"I'm glad you said that. As the last Dragon General left, I want to be ashamed of his name."

LaPlath said so with a distant, blindfolded eye.

The last remaining dragon general.

Rosterina thought about the meaning of the word... but she couldn't possibly understand it.

She doesn't know.

And what I don't know, I just have to ask.

"... your husband"

But Rosterina couldn't listen.

LaPlath looked determined and spicy when he talked back in time.

So far, the story's going very well.

A wild child of the demon kingdom was educated, worked, recognized, and became one of the dragon clan leaders.

It was almost painful.

Then I'm sure there's a harder ending ahead of us.

Rosterina wants to know.

Even if it's a hard ending, I'd like to know if it's about LaPlath.

But if it's going to make Laplace feel hard, I can put up with it.

"Your husband... if there's anything you want me to do, say anything. It will always help your husband."

"Right, then... no"

To Rostellina's words, LaPlath said something and shut his mouth.

And, smiling bitterly, I shook my head.

"Well, just one thing, please"

"What is it?

LaPlath smiled gently and gave Rosterina her head.

"Today, go to sleep already. I have to get you to work tomorrow."

If you notice, it was late at night.

Rostellina had forgotten her drowsiness and listened.

"... yes, my lord"

Maybe I can't help myself.

Rosterina stood up from the chair and left the room behind, even as she had such lonely thoughts in her chest.

She would leave the room intact, return to her room, and sleep.

……

After dropping it off, LaPlath headed to his desk.

I was talking about it, and I remembered one thing I forgot to write about.

I'm going to write that down in a book.

It's a book that sums up the most important things.

I've never been over writing everything down to know everything, but I don't need to know everything.

It was inevitable to create a book that summarized the most important things.

LaPlath added the page to the book and wrote:

"Pergius"

That was a name I had to write down.

While writing that description, LaPlath spoke with a potpourri.

Words I couldn't say because I could have expected Rostellina to look sad if I told you.

"To those who read this book, I have a favor to ask.

In this world comes a dragon tribe child who doesn't know his name.

I have to give her a name.

I forgot about the detours, but that's one of my missions.

The child has silver hair. It must be a man without a name.

I want him to tell me.

Your real name is Pergius.

Pergius, son of Dora the great Dragon King.

If I die half-witted, I'll write it down here. "

That's what LaPlath said, he finished writing one page of the book.

And I put the book in the middle of my desk, in the most prominent place.

If anyone would let me in here, even if I lost my life, it would always look through me.

It is LaPlath's mission to communicate the name, but there is no reason why LaPlath should communicate it directly.

Regardless, the named parent LaPlath himself wants to convey it.

"Dear Dora,"

Crushing the name, Dora appeared behind LaPlath's brain.

He was a teacher, a boss, even like his mother, Dora's figure.

And that last moment of Dora's carelessness.

Just remember that moment, my chest is tightened.

It is hatred that springs from the depths of your chest.

It's an impulse to kill that makes me want to get rampant.

To clear that mindless mind, LaPlath had to live.

I had to complete my mission.

"Phew."

LaPlath closed the book and sat back deep in the chair.

I was tired of my body because I went down to the lower realm and moved around, or because I remembered the battle when I became General Wu Long.

I haven't slept in a long time.

"Good night, Rostellina"

LaPlath said so, closing his eyes.

It was the first time in decades that all those who lived in the house of Ryukyung Mountain would fall asleep.
