Vermillion

Behind a deep, foggy forest.

The ancient castle, called the Deep (Abyss), was in an area where no man could enter.

"Fufufufufufufufufufufufufu ~"

Hill by the old castle.I couldn't say I was chilly and cheerful enough to flatter myself, but there was one person who fell asleep in the grass and sang a nose song.

It was abnormal.

A primitive costume with only rough stitching of fur.Steel-like muscles stretching out the body, scales covering the whole body, sharp claws on the hands and feet - and the head of the ferocious reptile itself and blonde hair fluffy like a barrel.

--The monster's name was "Bernard."Sleeping on the meadow, beside it, I was in a good mood as I lit a burning fire with tree branches.

"Fufufu, Orda, Peepoo ♪"

You're getting excited, Bernard, starting to whisper lyrics instead of nose songs.Even so, it's a terrible murmur. I used to sing songs that were popular in one world - imagine all the people who lived for this day.No heaven, no hell, no country, no borders.We don't kill each other or die for anything.

Bernard pulled out the branches of the tree from the fire.

At the tip of the branch was a potato that resembled sweet potatoes.

Imagine all the people living in peace.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

It was commonly known as a stone yakitori.Grip it with your hands recklessly, and split it into two while playing "tick".Along with the delicious yellow and sweet aroma characteristic of sweet potatoes, the hot air rose.

"Ha ha ~ You're burning so well!Yu ~ Masai ~ ♪ Aima ~ "

"You're in a good mood."

When I tried to hang out with the norinori while singing, there was a voice coming from behind.

Looking back, there was a big man standing up looking up.

A wild look. A musculoskeletal body that feels purely biologically strong.It emitted an overwhelming sense of presence, which seemed to make it difficult to get close, but its eyes had an intelligent light, emitting a mysterious charm that beasts and reason lived together.There is also a big raven on the shoulder, and there is some humorous atmosphere.

"Ah, Denner.You want some ome?

A gentle greeting, Bernard presents a crack of potato to the big man, Denner.

"Is that your attitude?Well, I'll take it. "

Denner, who smiled bitterly, received the potatoes and snuggled them in.

A few moments later, there was a strange sight of a blonde lizard phantom and a big man with a raven on his shoulder chewing potatoes silently.

"By the way, that song."

Denner, who flattened the potatoes, asked.

"It was the first melody I ever heard.Home song?

"Yes, it was fashionable.A long time ago. "

Bernard confessed honestly.Denner often tries to explore these conversations.

"It wasn't just my home, it was a pandemic across the country.There was a time when billions of people were listening to this song and mouthing it. "

So Bernard always decided to just (...) spit (...) and (...) and (...) answer a lie."Originally a human being, but realized that he had become a dragon man", "The hometown is probably far away", "The population of the hometown is more than a billion people", "There is a vehicle that flies through the sky at the speed of sound", "It was a society where everyone can separate the spirit from the body and behave like a spiritual spirit", etc.

It was a fact as it is, but it sounded ridiculous to Denner by making it brief and lacking in specificity.For that reason, apart from being an 'ex-human', it seemed to interpret Bernard as blowing or trying to distract himself.

(--Highly developed science cannot be distinguished from magic, huh?)

VR technology, for example, is unimaginable to residents of this world.The billion-dollar population, supported by advanced infrastructure, must also be dazzling.Bernard secretly enjoyed Denner's suspicions and daze, even though he was just telling the truth.

"I wonder if there were any bard spirits in your hometown.It will be fashionable beyond the country. "

Denner shrugged his shoulders like that.Bernard answered nothing, just snorting his nose.

"But if my ears are right, I feel like I'm saying what peace is."

"Ooh. Love & Peace, a song praying for human love and world peace.It's a great song. "

"... people like you seem to hate that kind of hair."

You're not? Denner tilts his neck.

"No? That's not true.I rather love peace. "

"You....?

"Ah, yes.Peace is a fragile, fragile, loving thing that cannot be achieved without constant effort and luck. "

The edge of Lizard Phantom's mouth caught up and sharp teeth came out.

"--That's why I want to break the buzz."

Let your yellow eyes shine brightly.

"Ha ha ha, you bastard."

"If you look at it, you'll see.

Bernard calms down without a bad wind as he unwittingly blows out Denner.

"When (...) is (...) the (...) of (...) the (...) of (...) the (...)?Everything needs sharpening. "

"I don't know how you feel, but is that why you enjoy killing the weak in vain?

Perhaps you're talking about the village of Laneza that Bernard destroyed.But it seemed like a purely interest-oriented question, and there was no color to blame.

"It's fun. Fighting a strong man is another pleasure.I like to ruin peace, happiness, irreplaceable things, honorable things. "

Bernard trembles excitedly, remembering his own murder in Laneza Village.

"Of course, the weakness (...) or (...) or (...) resistance (...) is also one of the spices.Just repeat the same thing for a long time, and you'll get bored.That's why I need to be sharp - and I'll make one correction, but I don't like killing anyway.Just that if you break it to the fullest extent possible, you'll end up dead. "

"I see. Is it the aesthetic of destruction that is easy to heat and cool?"

Denner stroked his mustache and nodded as if he was good at it.Bernard, whose attitude seemed to have hindered him, answered back.

"... how about that kind of makeup, Denner?I like fighting strong ones. "

"Nuu, well, I won't deny it.It's true that when you confront strong enemies, blood rolls... but not when you're asked if you like the battle itself. "

Huh?

"What you get from that battle - fighting strong enemies often learns something.The other person is interesting and sometimes interesting.Like you. "

Ni, Denner laughs invincibly.The defeated side, Bernard, became increasingly unhappy and snorted.

"And I'm greedy.That kind of funny guy makes me want to follow his lead. "

Oh yeah. Thanks to you, I can eat and sleep like this, thank God. "

Burnard stuck a branch into the fire and took out another potato.This time, the skin is cleverly peeled off at the tip of the nail, and instead of serving it to Denner, it starts eating by itself.

"Ha ha ha ha! Don't be unfaithful."

Denner smiled and slapped Bernard on the back.Bernard chews on yakitori while turning a blind eye.A normal person's eyes seemed to tremble just by being stared at, but Denner didn't move.

"--Unfortunately, eating and sleeping is almost over."

The words attracted Bernard's interest.

"...?

"I have a big job.It's only natural that you work for me. "

"Hmm. I don't mind, but I don't like the details.Who can protect him or who can kill him on the contrary?Besides, I don't know what to say myself, but can't you join me like this?

"I can do it. I'll run wild, kill around, and knock them out in chaos.I've been looking for monsters like that, don't you think?

"Ha-ha. What is that?"

A smile full of lizards.

Isn't it perfect for me?

"Am I right? Heiwa (...) Su (...) Lu (...) of (...) also (...) When (...) et al. (...) Yes (...), don't you think?

When Denner asked, Bernard ripped out his fangs.

Haha ♪
