Mushoku Tensei – Old Dragon’s Tale

■ ■ ■

"Now... we're done talking"

That's what LaPlath said, and he breathed.

Strength fell out of his stretched shoulders and teeth that were being eaten away.

But his face was blue, and his insurance was still there. Anger, anger and sloppiness had not disappeared.

I guess it's hard just to remember what happened back then.

"So... after that, what happened?

Rostellina asked in such a way as to be afraid.

"Hmm? After that?

"Stand down to the world, then. What about the rest of the dragon kingdom? What about your husband? What's the matter, sir?

"Oh, no, Rosterina, you have to ask one question."

LaPlath laughed powerlessly, but answered the question.

"The people of the Dragon Nation, most of them have died. However, of course, some have escaped from the dragon kingdom and descended into this world. The dragon kingdom collapsed much faster than the rest of the world, so very few."

Rostellina was just a little horrified by the word, but soon realized it contained something.

"So why... there are few Dragons now?

"... they killed me"

"Duh, why?

"You know what I mean? Even if the mastermind was human gami, we were too doomed"

Hatred, anger and fear of the Dragon tribe were deeply engraved in other races.

What would happen if such a dragon tribe gave it to the world?

What General Wu Long feared happened.

"Well, sometimes the number of surviving dragons was too small."

"Didn't LaPlath help those people?

"Oh... I didn't help"

"Why?"

"I had something to do."

LaPlath had an important task ahead of him.

At the time of his death, he was given a mission greater than that of the Dragon God.

That was not to help the people of the Dragon tribe, who had broken the number to survive as a species.

"After the battle between Dragon God and Hitogami, I looked for Hitogami.

But I couldn't find it. Perhaps the Dragon God struck a blow to the human gami in some way, even in the battle of defeat imperative, causing serious injury, or containment. "

"Didn't you think about being a match or something?

"There were times when I was thinking about it.

But a little while later, human gami started to get in my way indirectly.

It's proof he's alive. "

LaPlath, who crossed into the world, began his activities as the last survivor of General Wu Long.

To explore the whereabouts and identities of the disappeared human gami, to explore weaknesses and the art of killing, and to give way to the son of the dragon - Orstead - who eventually descends into the future.

"Who is Human Gami, what is it? What's the purpose and such terrible things..."

"Ha, unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out who I am yet. I can speculate about the purpose, but it remains almost a mystery… but there are places where I think it might be."

"What's that?

To Rostellina, who overheard him, LaPlath replied.

"When I came to the world, I was surprised by the sight.

The human race was supposed to be a world with only flatlands. It was a world of flat earth everywhere.

That was, for some reason, the forest, the mountains, the sea.

And there lived the inhabitants of each world.

It's as if we've integrated the six worlds... yes, now the world you know so well was expanding.

Plus, the words when you killed Dragon God...... Human Gami said: "I am the only god."

As a result of integrating that information, LaPlath drew one conclusion.

"I'm sure he wanted to be God. It's just one world, just one God.

That's why they collapsed each world, absorbed it into one world, and killed all gods.

The question is how did human gami get the same power as God... "

LaPlath put his hand on his chin there and thought for a moment, and saw Rosterina.

"You said it first.

First, one God... said there was a Creating God.

He's dead. Nobody knows what happened after he died...... and was it Dragon God or Lunaria who told me......

Whatever, its the Creator, but where did you (...) go (...)? "

"No way."

"I wonder if I died in a world without"

"A world without?

"It's a space of nothing that passes when you travel around the world and the world.

The Creator died in its center… one day, he found it.

And he made the body his own.

Using the power of God's corpse, he replaced or took in the weakest man, God.

And then, as we talked about, it unfolded. "

"Ha..."

"Whether this is just speculation or not.

It remains unclear what his real purpose was. "

For LaPlath, it could no longer be about the purpose or origin of human gami.

If he was the god of man himself and really killed the god of dragons for good reason, it didn't matter.

I looked into it, and I made various hypotheses, but there's always only one purpose for him.

Because it's about killing the human gami who trampled on the pride of the Dragon God and General Wu Long.

"... So, where's Human Gami?

"Hmm? Well, of course, it's a world without."

"How do you know it's there?

"Sometimes he said he wasn't anywhere in the world...

Sealed in a world of nothingness, no, is it a junction? Something like that was strewn out there.

Perhaps the Dragon God made it by squeezing his last power.

Human Gami fears. Not really, I could have made it myself......

Whatever it is, I wouldn't have installed such a big deal. "

"As long as there's that connection, do you mean you can't go to Human Gami?

"I've already found a way to disarm it, but it's going to take a lot of magic and a lot of tricks. If I go, if I lose, human gami will be unleashed. If that happens, everything I've ever done will be your grandfather. Yeah, that's not what I can do."

LaPlath said so with a slightly bitter face.

Perhaps he still wants to unseal and fight human gami.

You want to avenge the Dragon God and clear the mindless of General Wu Long.

But he never does it.

Slowly, steadily getting ready.

One by one, they're creating elements to ensure the killing of human gami.

"Master LaPlath, is it hard?

"When I think of the old days, it's hard.

But when you think about the future, it's not that hard.

Master Orstead will use everything I've prepared to fight human gami.

Martial arts, sorcery, technology, weapons and knowledge I have created. Use everything.

No, it's not just Master Olstead. The surviving dragon tribe and Pergius will also fight together.

Hang everything in the Dragon Nation to fight Human Gami. 'Cause when I think about that moment, my chest will go off in response. "

LaPlath said so with a smile.

He has been prepared.

It would have been hard at first.

Because we have to have everything from nowhere but the guiding principle of defeating human gami.

But thousands of years made that possible.

He did a lot of things.

Pass the dragon people's skills and witchcraft to the fast-growing people, and in the meantime, I study the secrets that were used by General Wu Long and the Dragon God.

After a while, the people recover their own improved technology and magic, improve it themselves and give it to the people again.

He also prepared a technique that would have been planted on Orstead, a technique that inferred it from a magic formation that had only seen it at a glance and eliminated the negative elements that would have happened to him.

That's not all.

I assumed in case I hung myself in the hands of a human gami and died, and I had a number of insurance policies.

Give the descendants of General Wu Long found everywhere a treasure made from the dead Dragon God's shards of the Divine Ball, or create ruins all over the world to write down research results.

I do everything I can.

It can't be said to be complete now, but it was still always moving towards 100%.

I have assumed and prepared for all things.

I guess that's why there's no spiciness at this time of year.

Because we are getting past the dark past and seeing a bright future.

……

That's why Rostellina felt it.

It's alienation.

Battle of La Place.

In the fight against human gami by the Dragons, I have no self.

I felt so sad about that.

"Um, Master LaPlath!

"What?

"Me too... is there anything I can do, too?

To Rostellina's words, LaPlath ate only for a moment.

But as soon as I had a soft grin, I stroked her head.

"It's always good for you. Laundry for cleaning. That's not all, your presence has healed my heart, which has been lonely ever since I came to the world. You just have to stay there."

It was just a whim that LaPlath picked her up.

Of course, there was an intention that it might be of some use.

The immense magic of sleeping in her body is because it is difficult.

But I wasn't coming up with anything to use from the start.

And LaPlath is human, too.

If we live together for a long time, we'll have feelings.

Now she's becoming the only healer for LaPlath.

"I don't like that! I want to help Master LaPlath, too!

I don't think we can fight together, but anything, anything?

Something that will be good for your child in the future... "

Nevertheless, you can't even tell and listen to Rosterinana about it.

She hasn't done anything in a long time.

I was just waiting for Laplace to get home.

Whether that's the healing of LaPlath's heart or not, it doesn't make her feel better.

In any world, it's hard to just be kept waiting.

"Hmm..."

LaPlath was also well aware of the spiciness of waiting.

He keeps waiting. Olstead, son of a dragon.

LaPlath was distracted because he had so much to do, but without it. If he just kept waiting, or he might have gone mad.

"Okay. Fine. If that's all I'm saying, I need your help, too."

That's why LaPlath said so.

"! Is there something I can do too!?

"Yeah, but this could be hard for you."

"What do you mean!? I'll do anything!

"First, let's take away the magic formation of your body and undo the curse of your body"

"... eh"

When I heard that I was going to undo the curse, Rosterina's face just blued a little.

Once, what plunged me deeper and deeper back into it.

There was an instinctive fear of the matter.

"Then I'll use the Demon Clan's secret to create your body one by one. Store that enormous amount of magic so that it can be handed over to others."

"To others..."

"Yeah. Master Orstead has a number of techniques in place to defeat the human gami. As long as that technique continues, Master Olstead's magic will always continue to diminish. Perhaps the magic consumption of the technique is much greater than we think and exceeds Olstead's magic recovery."

"Oh, that's where my magic comes in handy"

"Even so. But by the time you exercise secrets and change into your ideal body, you need to adjust again and again.

It also takes time. It could take a hundred or two hundred years, or a thousand to two thousand years.

In the meantime, you will be in a long sleep. You won't be able to live the way you've lived. "

"If it's all over while you're asleep, it's okay"

"Besides, body changes will affect your spirit in no small way, and the course of time will obscure your memory"

"Does that... mean that I lose my personality, that, my memory with your husband,"

"Oh. Of course, I'm going to adjust so many times along the way that I can keep my memory."

"... if that's what your husband would say, it's fine"

"Well, that's what you say when you can stand it, isn't it?

"Yes."

In reply to Rostellina, LaPlath looked a little darker.

He knows his previous life will end.

I know I'll lose my voice from home.

I know that when I was in the dragon kingdom, Rostellina's presence, which reminds me of that warm life, would be gone from home.

That's why I learned to patrol lightly.

But if Rostellina wants to act for LaPlath, and therefore for the Dragon God, LaPlath has no words to stop it.

Because Laplace is General Wu Long.

Although it has already become all famous, it is General Wu Long.

How can one who wants to work for the Dragon God be unhindered?

"Well...... then come on. Get ready."

LaPlath said so, forcibly making a smile.

■

Underground cave further away than Ryu Ming Mountain.

Where Laplace uses it as one of the institutes.

It was built of stone with a number of giant magic formations carved into it.

The whole cave is a giant magic trick.

At the bottom of it, she was there.

He immersed himself in pale, shining water, closed his eyes, and slept.

"-That's how the saint defeated the Demon King and returned to his beloved."

LaPlath sat in front of her and talked quietly.

That was a long time ago.

He was Tan, the hero of the world, seen by LaPlath.

"Well, that's it for today's story"

Eventually, when he finished the conversation, LaPlath slowly stood up.

"I'm going to fight again.

You can't even figure out what Human Gami's thinking, but you have to stop it.

There's no such thing as an example where what he did was a good thing.

As LaPlath put her hand over Rostellina as she said so, a slow, transparent lid wore over her sleeping pedestal.

Upon confirmation that the lid was completely covered and filled with light, shining water inside, Laplace covered the lid.

"When I'm done, I'll keep you talking. What, there's nothing to worry about. Every story isn't as tragic as the dragon world."

LaPlath said so, turning back his heel.

"Well, we're getting married."

Make a knack and a noise, and the footsteps move away from the bedroom.

As Laplace drifts away, so does the light in the room.

Eventually, the footsteps disappeared completely and the room was surrounded by darkness.

Rosterina is unconscious.

But the story of LaPlath, to the depths of her consciousness, would certainly make sense.

She is waiting.

I am waiting for the day when sooner or later the secret surgery will be adjusted and I will be able to help LaPlath.

In the dark, all the time.

Ever......
