The 5000-year-old Herbivorous Dragon

The journey with Raco on his back is, naturally, by road.

Never get on track - I learned such a lesson early in the trip that I was persuading Leiko to go down the tunnel to his destination.

"I think it's better to walk around slowly rather than fly all at once because you're traveling in different places."

"Wherever I am in the world, I can always be seen with a thousand eyes."

"You don't say that. You'd be more impressed to see it in person."

With that said, I pause and breathe softly.

Turning to the front, it is a wilderness full of sand and rocks that runs everywhere as far as you can see.

"Well... it's a bit of a killing landscape around here"

In the great old days when I was kept by man, much of the world was untouchable and untouchable.

It seems that exploration by adventurers has now progressed, and that most of the land was covered by maps - but people's hands are not good at every corner.

The greatest reason for this is the existence of demons.

When trying to explore new lands, demonic raids become the most obstacle. If we fail to defend ourselves at all, the pioneering people will be wiped out in no time.

Because of the high risk of such exploitation, it often remains untouched except for some land suitable for people to live on - a takeover and sale from Shayna.

"Something like that's why it doesn't look that different after thousands of years."

Of course, the streets such as Perudona were much more sophisticated than they were when I was younger.

But I don't think the lives of essential people have changed that much.

Had it not been in the way of demons, would it have developed a lot more?

"Dear Evil Dragon. What do you mean, it doesn't change?

"Yeah. Think the world hasn't changed since I was young."

"After all, isn't it working that the evil dragon destroyed the old mankind and reset civilization"

"What purpose did I do such a terrible thing?

"When I am only a family member, I can speak of the great will of the evil dragon..."

"Don't just talk about your noisy track record and leave your motives behind."

Needless to say, it is wet clothes of course.

There can be no civilization that will be reset for every lizard like me.

- But.

"Speaking of which, I could be a real evil dragon from now on..."

Sneaking and squeaking to make sure Leiko doesn't hear me.

The immense magic of evil dragons that would have killed Laeko today. I still don't know how to seal this up, but I think the method proposed by the Virgin of "returning it to its original owner" - that is, returning it to me - seems most likely.

If it is fulfilled, I will become a real evil dragon with tremendous power, like Laeko.

"Ma, if that happens, don't use it. Yes. Yeah, but if I fly, I can eat tall tree leaves and I don't want to throw them away... I don't know if I should just lift the ban. To reward me for my hard work."

"Sounds kind of like a lot of fun, Master Evil Dragon. Are you imagining the demon king's terminator?

"Yeah, I see. Have a demon king... demon king?

I went back to my sanity and I said, "Ha!," he breathed.

Yes, it was. I had recently floated and completely forgotten that the Demon King had become a threat to humanity. In the first place, I was framed for separating myself from living in a cave.

And the only way we can counter the Demon King is with "Evil Dragon" Leavendia.

I mean, I transferred the power of Raco to me, but at the end. It means that mankind's destiny will come on my shoulders.

My stomach starts hurting in Russia.

"Oh, that raco. You've tried to find the Demon King with your Lord's Thousand Eyes before, haven't you?

"Yes, unfortunately I couldn't find it"

"Didn't you really find that one? Is there any chance there's no such thing as a demon king?

Even the executives' maneuvers never seemed to have met the Demon King in person.

Isn't the name Demon King empty and the Demon King Army just organized, as I am mistaken for the Evil Dragon?

"I felt signs of mighty magic......, sorry. I can't swear on my own."

"Oh, never mind. Yeah. I didn't just say that."

Perhaps the absence of the Demon King is a good point of hopeful observation.

In the meantime, I must assume that the Demon King exists and think about what I should do if he becomes a true evil dragon.

On behalf of Laeko, I defeat the Demon King...

"Master Evil Dragon? I'm shaking. What's wrong?

"Ma, it's a little bit when you think about fighting the Demon King. I'm not scared. The samurai trembled."

"So you can't wait for the showdown, that's the evil dragon. It's reliable."

No. Assuming you have Evil Dragon Power, you don't have a chance to win over me just because of lizard mentality.

It would be far more winnable to specialize as the Raco-led status quo stands.

"... well, yeah. I wonder if the details will come after I see a specific path."

Maybe we can give up Evil Dragon Power as it is around Ariante.

Then everything is solved. Me and Lecco can return to a peaceful life. Laeko will be sorry, but let's take the time to convince him.

That's how I decided to shelve the problem.

As I walk for a while, I catch the smell of my nose.

I miss the smell, which seems a little raw, but also contains signs of refreshment.

"Laeko. If your Lord's nose, can you see the smell of the air has changed?

"Yes. It smells weird from the south wind, but what about this?

After all, it looks like Leiko never smelled it before.

For the first time in my life, I answer confidently with prestige.

"It smells like the sea. Looks like the harbor's close."

To get to the country Shayna taught us, we need to cross the ocean.

It was the first time for Lecco, and the first time for me in hundreds of years, that the sea was imminent.
