■Night one seventy-one: How he became the king of tyranny

But it's strange. With such a [Chikara] in his hand──, he wondered why Smaugard had fallen into an overload.

Rushing at wind speed through a space filled with mysterious phosphorescence, Ashlee was unaware of her thoughts.

I didn't dare to say a word.

I didn't even want to ask Urdo.

However, I couldn't stop my thoughts from turning into words.

Or perhaps it was the thought of Snow taken hostage, or the unconsciousness of a human knight who swallowed his anxiety and anxiety about the treatment and chose it instinctively to escape the path of thought.

Because suspicion and impatience grow in a maze of thoughts in silence.

Ashlee's mouth was uncomfortable when she saw Smaugard using Snow's Grimoire (Grimoire) to become the King of Corpses.

The moment I saw these dragons' sanctuary = dragon hole, it turned into a clear question.

Because the amazing sight inside the sanctuary and the aesthetics poured into it were too wonderful.

It's not very intelligent.

The dragons have overwhelmingly advanced mental activities and a fruitful culture, and they have tremendous power to make it happen even by themselves.

And Smaugard, his dragon king and now king of corpses, is one of them.

"Why... why is it that the dragon that was supposed to possess such a powerful [Chikara]: Smaugard has become an overload?"

Ashlee's doubts are aggregated in one point.

"If a man without power wants a powerful [Chikara], there are also places where he can understand as a powerless man." But not Smaugard. He is a dragon. Alone, it is a complete individual, but it is a king (...), and it is one of the few people who can prove it by [Chiran]. "

Changing the whirlpool in her chest into a monologue, Ashlee jumped over a few meters of ditch.

Urdo's bride costume soars and paints a pure white trajectory in the cosmos.

"The dragon race is the most powerful [Chiral] in the history of the Zodiac Continent." It is undoubtedly the strongest species in the world, without fear of misunderstanding. Moreover, he was allowed to call himself a king. I mean, the king of kings. Limited to individual abilities, it was once one of the highest in the world. Isn't that right? "

This question was not meant to be checked by Urd.

Ashlee just wanted to sort things out by putting her thoughts into words.

It was the only way to escape the psychological warfare that Izumi had set up.

If you stop thinking in despair and impatience, it's your opponent's idea.

That's why Ashlee thinks.

Let me think about it.

The Lord of the “Closed Corridor”, whose destiny is determined by laws different from those of the Sphere of Humanity: The Overlords each sit deep in the realm of their own stories.

But with them, it wasn't born overloaded.

They're overloaded.

In other words, in order for them to fulfill the transformation of the [Closed Corridor] as the main = [Wish], there must be the inevitable background and poured [Wish], and the circumstances leading to it.

For example, the former King of Descent (download): Just as Glenn transformed the tip of the Focus pouring the Wish into his ribcage into an overload.

Or Knight of the Night Demon: Yugadil gave him a gift from the "Garden": like being invaded by Barometz and fallen.

Correctly understanding each person's different background and background, the quality of the “wish” poured in, and why── they changed, can be the biggest countermeasure in confronting overload.

Because the [wish] that they have poured on them is also the thoughts of the opposing overloads.

What did they want?

What did they want?

Understanding it not only focuses on the quality of the enemy's attack, but also on the contradictions to be pierced, that is, the weaknesses, and even the essence of existence.

To put it more simply, there is a hint: "How can I win?"

This is paradoxical, but unless you read it, it will be extremely difficult to pick up the winning eye.

That's why Ashlee tries to make the actual image of the opponent as thin as possible in advance and as deep as possible.

To know the enemy's intentions as a being.

I knew instinctively that that was the key to victory.

Or because Ashlee was an outstanding knight, she might have relied solely on this [Cha-cha] to get to know her opponent.

Ashlee's thoughts do not stop.

I won't stay.

The question continues.

"The mighty Dragon King. Why did he become the King of Corpses?" Why did it become an overload? "

King of the Corpses: Smaugard is the Princess of the Dragons: Ashlee has already indirectly and directly finished her delusions toward Urdo.

But that, and how and why Smaugard became an overload, is by no means an equation.

Thoughts of Urdo may be a strong motive for Smaugard to swirl in his chest.

However, that is not the specific cause/circumstance that led to his overload.

For Smaugard, Urd may be one of the goals and objectives to be achieved, but it hasn't been revealed until now what kind of [Wish] Smaugard undertook, and how (...).

What do you want, Smaugard became an overload?

If we don't know it clearly, the plot we're going to plot will be short of stuffing.

It was when I realized that.

"... I thought it was just a dead thing. I just thought it was the end of a long ordeal, and I regretted my sins and died."

The dragon princess in her arms murmured.

Immersed in his own thoughts, Ashlee was poked into the chest by an unexpected monologue.

That was precisely the answer── I wanted to get the most from what I was thinking.

”Is that... about Smaugard?”

Unexpectedly, Urdo smiled and responded to Ashlee.

"Did you hear that?"

Uldo, who laughed at himself, was somehow astonished.

I tried to imitate your monologue.

So Aashre finally realized that she was leaking words from her chest.

I'm ashamed of being unconscious.

The Dragon Princess, who was inadvertently asked by Ashlee, may have felt urged to confess.

I want to know what happened to you.

"I didn't realize it. It seems that she was very enthusiastic about her thoughts. You've been asked. Didn't I say something... strange?"

"It's not weird. It was a natural question.”

Urdo continued in a pardoning tone.

I just wanted you to hear it in your heart.

Urd's pitch-black eyes matched Ashlee's.

It was so natural that it felt like the dragon princess was holding back her emotions.

Ashlee faintly agitated.

Wasn't your unconscious words in a tone that blamed her?

Wouldn't you have spoken to Urd in such a way as to question him?

Due to my obsession, I can't remember anything but the central question.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

“You didn't threaten me not to hide?”

Asserting what she thought was possible in her chest, Ashlee felt that she was seeing through her sins.

Is that how you sound?

"I would never have forgiven you if such a clever guts had been lurking in your belly."

A slight but mischievous tone dwelt in the mouth of the dragon princess.

It would be a lie to say that I didn't feel uncomfortable with Aashre's monologue.

But I forgive you for your insensitivity, Urdu said.

I'm sorry, and Ashlee is full because she lowers her head.

"So how did my monologue sound?"

Instead of being tampered with, I was asked.

Aashre replied thoughtfully for a moment.

”Do you want to hear it...?”

Fu, and Urdo laughs.

I often say "dumbass."

The dragon princess smiled broadly.

Fluffy and soft, but it was a smile that seemed to break if not handled with care.

"Honestly, it's a good idea. You wanted me to hear it, didn't you?"

"... you're looking forward to it, aren't you?"

"If that's what you're trying to hear, I know I hate it."... you've been paying attention to me. I'll thank you. "

Until now, Urdo, who had a natural arrogant attitude as a royalty, thanked him frankly.

I wasn't sure how to accept it, but Ashlee showed me how to eat noodles.

The dragon princess changed the quality of her smile to a human knight with black and white eyes.

The smile that was a bull 's-eye was better than the dazed smile.

"That's what you are," he laughs.

Ashlee learned many techniques to soothe humans from Izuma.

If I said that, the dragon princess would be very proud.

"It hasn't been that long since we met, but I don't know why I wanted to talk about this. I wanted to end it in secret, if possible. I even thought I could harm myself if I told you this, until just now."

If the dragons, each of whom is a king, have spoken about their own blades, it cannot be a joke.

There must have been a lot of conflict to get Aashre to ask.

I knew you'd be ready.

For her, this was a subject on which she had to speak or not speak with pride and honor in the balance.

Or maybe because Ashlee ordered the Night Demon Princess to wait and decided to take Urdo and invade the single dragon hole, the dragon princess felt she had to speak to herself.

Still with a heavy mouth, Urdo opens up and begins to speak.

"After all, speaking from now on is a shame for me, or for the family of dragons who are connected to me." I've overloaded my clan. From the bloodlines of the great dragon race. I want you to understand the pain of speaking of that shame. But first, let's apologize for what happened. I'm sorry for saying so much on the way. That's right. "

Urd lowered his head again.

Ashlee was also troubled by this.

I can't teach it, and it's not good to teach it, so I just have to accept it with a vague expression.

As a matter of fact, Aashre has not underestimated the attitude that Urdo has taken so far, irrationally or unreasonably.

Certainly, there were arrogant words and deeds in the end, which led to small clashes, but it was also a characteristic of the race of dragons, and a testament to her own pride.

On the contrary, it is because of their pride that the Assyrians were able to reconcile in such a short time.

If Urd's arrogance had been tied to a crowd, who would have thought he could help her?

That kind of cunning and her attitude as a ruler was decisively different.

It was not surprising that the Dragon Clan and humans were able to understand each other in such a short time because Ashlee was the only one who was superior.

It was only because Urdo was a remarkable person that he was able to wipe out his prejudice against humanity and correct his mistakes in such a short time.

That's why I don't have any feelings about blaming Ashlee for Urdo.

Even if Snow was kidnapped as a replacement for Urd.

At the beginning of the incident, the Dragon King: Smaugard's linguistic deeds, and even more so, Izuma's part in it.

Beyond admitting that Izuma is still my ally, I can even paraphrase that this is also the responsibility of the Ashleghs.

The more I think about it, the more Urd is on the victim's side.

And yet again, I apologize.

All of a sudden, I feel drowsy and go crazy when I ask for forgiveness.

Urdo continues to be increasingly afraid of how he captured Ashle's troubled face.

“But that's not all I have to apologize for.”

Ashlee took the Dragon Princess's offer very seriously.

I'm trapped by the feeling of stiffness and neck hair standing upside down.

It's like a sign of the scale of the incident that humans instinctively sense when they confess something really important.

"Do you still have to apologize?" Is that...? "

If you hear from here, you may not be able to forgive me.

"Oh," felt Ashlee.

Urd's expression and tone convinced him.

I think this is the core.

That's the answer to the problem that Aashre's been thinking about all this time.
