Yomigaeri no Maou

A giant, who was showing overwhelming violence and prestige, slowly fell into the arena.

The knights and adventurers seemed to have fought well as Lulu did all sorts of things at a distance from his battle with the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon).

It seems to have definitely damaged the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) and was able to bring it down without causing much damage.

Lulu breaks down a small junction, a scaffold built in the air, and lands on the ground.

The attention of most of those on the spot had fallen, nailed to an ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) that looked deadly, and did not attract attention to Lulu.

It passes between adventurers and knights and reaches before the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon).

There lay injured giants shining black scales, indicating that the battle was no longer over.

Still, there seemed to be a breath, staring at those on the spot with their eyes of strange colour, and finally seeing Lulu.

I said something. Lulu takes that gaze.

Then, his eyes slowly closed, and the radiance of life scratched out of that giant of the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon).

Seeing that, no one surrounded the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) to be vigilant without approaching it.

There is a fear that maybe we can still move, that they will come back to life and attack us.

Dragons are smart, and I don't have time to mention stories about deceiving people.

Everyone thinks it will be easy to pretend to be dead.

This was not the case in ancient times, but I remember in modern times, when I was a little girl, my mother and father made me read and listen to things like fairy tales of people tricked by dragons.

I guess the knights and adventurers here have similar experiences.

They say the memories engraved in small places don't slip out inside.

Without choice, Lulu took the initiative to approach the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon), possibly the carcass, to ascertain its motion.

As Lulu pulled out of the enclosure of the knights and adventurers and tried to get closer to the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon), a voice rose, but no one could stop him.

In fact, there can be no clear settlement in this battle unless someone does it.

Also most deserving to be sure of that was probably Lulu, who added the first blow that led to deciding the large crowd.

Lulu laughs bitterly at the reactions around him like that because he is convinced that the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) will no longer move, but it is not particularly surprising that no one will name the confirmation of the life or death of the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) given that there will be very few in modern times, such as those with experience relative to such existence.

Fear of the unknown is the same in all times.

And, I thought, there were those who walked out behind Lulu as he approached the remains of the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon), while at the same time making his offering to Lulu.

Not Illis.

I don't think she's familiar with the ecology either, but I've never seen an ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) at all, so I guess she knows there's no more danger to this ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon).

I'm looking at Lulu from a little far away, not even looking particularly worried.

Then who, looking back, was Romeo, the captain of the Kingsguard.

If you look at your face, the cool beauty that should have been there until earlier is lost, and it looks pretty good with cuts and dirt from sand and mud.

When Lulu laughs at it,

"... you have much leeway... Lord Lulu. I'm getting embarrassed."

I say and look a little angry.

I'm going to confirm the life and death of an ancient dragon, so be a little more careful, I guess.

I understood the feeling.

That's why Lulu says.

"No, I'm sorry...... but I'm probably convinced that that dragon will no longer move. It doesn't mean nothing. It's not serious."

Romeo looked strange at the words,

"... it's also, why? Aren't dragons supposed to pretend to be dead? Being alert is not dangerous…"

After all, he may have been reading dragon fairy tales carefully again, too.

I can't say that's a mistake, but it's not the right information.

Lulu knows that well.

Nevertheless, I knew that I was very familiar with the ecology of ancient dragons (enchanted dragons), and so on, but you couldn't possibly believe me.

In modern times, their ecology is riddled with most of them.

It is the apex of a dragon, very strong and absurd.

At best, it's just that level of recognition.

So Lulu decides not to give a past knowledge-based explanation and somehow tell a story that seems convincing.

"I can't feel much more of the magic of the ancient dragons (enchanted dragons) that I felt earlier. Perhaps it was fogged by the desperation…"

Romeo nodded so much that he was told,

"... sure, you have less magic to feel than you did earlier when you asked me..."

But that doesn't seem to mean I was sure.

In fact, there is not so much difference in magic between when ancient dragons (enchanted dragons) were moving around well and now.

However, it is certain that it is decreasing unnaturally, and there is a degree of difference that can be seen if you concentrate and sense it.

It's just a fact that the ancient dragon (the enchanted dragon), with its high intelligence, is hiding it as well, which may be the case if it is disputed.

But that would be a one-off explanation.

All you have to do is get close and see if he's actually alive.

So Lulu, without fear, approached under the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) and touched its nose tip.

At that moment, I felt Romeo's breath hold.

After all, even with a man like him, he's scared.

Most of all, the fear is not because it is strong, or because it is mighty, but because it is scary. It seems to be something more physiological.

Immediately ashamed of his reaction, Romeo touched the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) himself following Lulu.

"... you're not responding. After all, I was wondering if I could think of it as already desperate."

When Lulu said that, Romeo nodded as well.

"... you don't even seem to be attacking me... it seems to be ok"

Those who had heard the word, and had built an enclosure around the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon), seemed at last relieved.

He lifted his guard, raised his wings, and then smiled at each other to honor each other's good fight.

Romeo offers his hand to Lulu, who sees it and breathes out wondering if he has finally settled down.

It was clear that he was looking for a handshake.

Together, as someone who fought a monster named Ancient Dragon (Enchanted Dragon), let's share this feeling now.

Lulu nodded and took his hand, gripping it forcefully.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The battlefield has finally calmed down and the threat of ancient dragons (enchanted dragons) has disappeared.

The information was immediately passed on to the audience, half-heartedly, a few people showed up to peek whether they had really been defeated, went back to where the other audiences were, and the other audiences who heard about it came back to see it......

That went on several times, and it was well known that after about thirty minutes, the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) was finally defeated.

The absolute barriers placed on the arena have not yet been solved, and as a result, there are still spectators in the arena.

I may be somewhat anxious to know when I would be able to get out of here if I were you, but there hasn't been so much confusion because I'm telling the audience about that because Lottos assured me he won't last an hour no matter how long.

Of course, we have to get rid of this Chamber condition as soon as possible, so Lottos is going to look for an absolute barrier generator along with the other ancient tribes (elves) under his command.

There have been reports of earlier discoveries, and perhaps this state will be resolved without as much time as scissors.

Then King Leonard Griffiz made a suggestion to Lulu about the award ceremony.

"... I just have to be stuck here for a while anyway. Then I say, you'll be free, and the audience will want to see it. Lulu, would you like to continue the award ceremony?

etc.

I thought Lulu was a very eye-catching king, but his suggestion is not a bad one.

In fact, there has been no confusion, but somehow the audience has felt something like dissatisfaction emanating from it, which would be caused by that ancient dragon (enchanted dragon) and the stress of confinement due to absolute barriers, but if that is to be eliminated to the extent that we continue with the awards ceremony, we should do it.

It was assumed in two replies and the award ceremony was to follow.

Fortunately or inevitably, the facilities in the arena have not suffered any damage, even though they were attacked by ancient dragons (enchanted dragons).

The part that hits the arena stage has been destroyed, but the building itself is not a problem.

Therefore, it is said that the award ceremony can also be held without problems.

A loud cheer wrapped the arena when the thing was announced through a loudspeaker.

The audience was still stressed out.

In one of its announcements, the disturbing air turned into something bright, and the air in the arena changed.

All that was on the arena stage, such as the podium, was destroyed, but loudspeakers and the like had spares in the arena building, and although it was also simple, there were still some tables and the like that were of some height.

The king who climbed there, and Lulu.

We gazed at each other and smiled somehow.

"... for the occasional fierce battles we have seen in recent years and the incidents that could rock the country, unless we apologize on a qualitative podium..."

The audience also smiles at the King's words, which began with such a joke.

Ancient dragons suddenly hit us.

It's not an event that would have made me laugh, but there were times when everyone here was in the same danger, and that's how I made it laugh and maybe I tried to shake off the tremors and fears that would gush up if I kept quiet.

The ceremony progresses softly.

"So it's time to go with the award? Everyone may already know that the dragon falling here is an ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon). It is a monster that is said to rock even a country in its entirety. But here is the one who preempted the monster and struck a blow, leading things in a favorable direction. Make it the biggest player in the tournament right now, the winner, Lulu-Cadisnora!

That word that feels a little too much to lift.

When Lulu saw the king with such intent, he also felt the king's intention to say that Lulu did not want to be lifted so much about the ancient dragon (enchanted dragon) crusade.

I say tone it down a little.

"Of course, not Lulu alone, but the knights here, the adventurers, have combined their strength to defeat... That being said, even in battle, then, there has to be something stronger in strength and temper than anyone else to say the spear. I gave courage to everyone. That's all there is to admire Lulu. Non is delighted to have so many brave men in our country..."

To the king's words, cheer.

The voices Lulu, Lulu, are screamed out by the audience.

It itches, but I thought this might be a good idea once in a while.

And the king breathed deeply, and said the word.

"... thus honoring Lulu's good fight and giving him the honors and prize of winning the 700th Leonard Kingdom Martial Arts Games, as well as the" Devil's Sword Ascaron "as a side prize!!

At that moment, when Lulu finally received the award and the sword that fit in his sheath from those who had refrained near the king, a huge cheer, different from all that, as if something had exploded, swallowed the arena.

The cheer lasted an uninterrupted long time, and even after the tournament management staff arrived and the lifting of the absolute barrier was announced, it never got quiet inside.

That would mean that this tournament excited a lot of people and that all sorts of things happened again, obsessing people.

But with the audience, I can't be here forever.

After the awards ceremony, there's a lot to do.

Same goes for liquor at the tavern, and there's a night club.

Besides, there will be a lot of people leaving the Wang capital tomorrow, and those who run shops and such will be busy.

So gradually the voice becomes quieter too.

Besides, the King's words are not over yet.

One thing, I haven't said an important dialogue.

The king speaks of it.

"Now, one last thing we have to ask Lulu, the winner... every year, the winner of the Fighting Games is asked to give us something from the king, Non. Not particularly restrictive...... anything?

I'm not going to put restrictions on it, but the truth is, there are limits.

It was informed in advance by the competition management that nothing more was required.

For example, give me a marquis, or give me money comparable to the state budget, and I will naturally not admit anything like that.

They also say that it is possible to draw me up as a nobleman, or to double my winning prize.

I asked the operation if Lulu's wishes would be fulfilled, but if I didn't visit him directly, I wouldn't know.

So Lulu opened his mouth to say his own wishes as the audience swallowed and watched.
