Reincarnation Monarch

"... you seem a lot obsessed with dragon tears?

Said as Dove slowly sank himself into the tub, watching Gaius crap.

Then Gaius, who had often stood up and pondered silently, replied back to me, folding his hips to soak in the tub again, as did Dove.

"... sort of. Dragon tears have many causes..."

"... well. Is that a thousand years of dragon entanglement?

Then Gaius nodded loudly and slowly.

"Discover. Exactly."

"... are you still right... then you're in trouble?

Gaius looked surprised at Dove's words.

"Really?... No, it's troublesome if it comes from me, as they say, but even if it's a high-ranking demon dove, is a thousand year old dragon a troublesome existence?

Then Dove nodded loudly and slowly this time.

"... oh. Thousand-year-old dragons are a pain in the ass for us demons. The dragon itself is troublesome in the first place. Among other things... because it's special."

"Oh really... Well, it does feel special to be a dragon."

"... Hmm... well, yeah"

Then Gaius raised the corner of his mouth with a niggling, mean look on his face and asked Dove.

"I hear things that don't... what's a dragon?

Then Dove unwittingly snorted and laughed bitterly.

"... I don't know... honestly, I don't know on my level"

Then Gaius looked even more mean and said, peeking into the dove from below.

"That means the level on the dove... that means the most devilish Astalots would know, right?

Then Dove smiled unexpectedly.

"... I guess. Perhaps, but you will also know Astarot about the identity of the Thousand Years Dragon."

"Hey, purposefully saying who the Thousand Years Dragon is means you're certain that the Thousand Years Dragon has a secret, right? And that's where I know Dove."

"... right. Apparently there's a secret to that one. It's also... apparently divinely entangled..."

Then Gaius' eyes softly narrowed as soon as possible, making him a vicious face.

"... God is involved... I knew God would be involved here as well..."

"... but I also know that God is involved, but I don't know anything about the details"

"So you mean Top Secret, huh? So Dove, who is supposed to be a high-ranking demon, knows the secret, but only the highest-ranking demons know the details."

Then Dove nodded loudly and slowly again.

"... that's what I'm talking about"
