Mushoku Tensei – Old Dragon's Tale

A few days later, Master Dora took me out to a new place.

Master Dora's heading out of town.

That building, which was present in a compartment where houses were not very present, was surrounded by domed walls.

There were several longitudinally long entrances on the wall, and Master Dora went from one of them to the other.

No matter, I followed that too.

As soon as, the unfamiliar beast smell stabbed me in the nose.

Though I didn't even hold my nose, I had to face it.

Not because it smelled.

Because it smelled like my own screw in the demonic world.

On top of that, from the back of the building, I could even hear the gagging and some noise.

Creepy?

No, I remember feeling somewhat nostalgic.

……

Where should I ask, or should I mouth my thoughts?

That's what I thought, and Lady Dora looked at me and opened her mouth.

"This is the Dragon Tutorial."

To the words, I exhaled "ho" and looked around.

I knew it in knowledge.

Even the wings in front of the Dragons can fly, but the cruise speed is not so fast, even if they can fly quickly instantaneously because they are using the force field to fly.

Dragon power is limiting, so I'm not good at keeping flying for long. I'm tired.

When such dragons travel far away, they drive the Red Dragon.

The Red Dragon is relatively small among the dragons, but the sailing distance is long enough not to be compared to the Dragons.

But the Red Dragon is fierce.

Anyway, it was once said to be a natural enemy.

If you look at the Dragon Clan, it is common to attack, eat and kill.

dominate and teach there.

We need to catch the Red Dragon so that the Dragons can operate as vehicles by recognizing it as being on top and not defying it.

"From today on you will work as my subordinate. In other words, this is where you work."

"Yes!"

"Even if you weren't under my command, I was going to bring you here once. A relationship with the dragon is more inevitable than living in the dragon kingdom. There's no harm in learning that ecology."

When Dora said so, she began moving to the back of the building.

The building was deep, and I found it to be bigger than I could see from the outside.

As I walked, I asked Master Dora.

"Why did Dora ask me to go under?

'Cause when I heard that story, I thought my job was the best.'

"Optimal, is it?

"Our work is appreciated by many dragon tribes. Without a grudge."

Tutoring the dragon, that would seem like a plain job.

But in fact, many dragons exist as livestock in the dragon kingdom.

The dragon warriors will always drive the dragon and fight with them.

Livestock, but buddy, he's a comrade.

In this world, it's close to a knight and horse relationship.

Although it is named Tutorial Grounds, it is not only the Tutorials that are taking place in this building.

It can range from treating dragons that have become profound or ill to giving birth to dragons that you have noticed.

Try it on the dragon warriors and it will be a place for you to take care of your partner.

The dragon kingdom is a harsh world.

With battle, even the Red Dragon remains dying.

Therefore, there are many who will take care of the Dora, and few Dragon tribes will be deeply appreciative.

Regardless, you can't always help a deadly dragon.

But no one is pointing a grudge at the Dora, whom the dragon did not help.

There are no Dragons, such as those who blame their best opponents.

Therefore, the task of tutoring the dragon was best for me.

It takes time, but names permeate the whole world.

It is plain, but therefore it is not to be obsessed.

"Besides, you're good. Grow something brilliant and you'll want to keep it with you."

"… it's an honor to compliment you"

Lady Dora was a little embarrassed that she praised her, taking her gaze off of me and proceeding to the end of the aisle.

After a short walk down the narrow aisle, I went out into the large aisle.

The bigger the red dragon grows, the bigger it is.

And there were several cages in that passage, red in the cage, with giant reptiles laying round their bodies.

"This is the Red Dragon."

"... you're unexpectedly quiet"

Speaking of red dragons, it's a dragon known for its ferocity.

We can't help but attack organisms in sight, eat anything with greed.

But the Red Dragon in front of me just looked at me and Lady Dora with his blurry eyes as he lay down.

I also remember seeing the real thing up close for the first time, but it looked quite different than I expected.

"Those around here are individuals who have already completed their ordination. If we go a little deeper, we can see the Yancha dragon"

"I see... so what should I do first?

"The new job is more determined than it used to be. Over here."

Follow Master Dora on deeper and deeper down the aisle.

Then, as Lady Dora said, the dragon sounded louder.

I also heard a noise like a feather, called a bass.

The cage has also turned into something more sturdy, with more individuals with rough noses.

When you looked at me, you thought a stranger had arrived, and some of the guys roared.

When Dora glanced a little, she became quiet.

"Around here, I've been an individual for several years since I started tutoring. Still rough. When the Dragons can determine that they are all allies, move them to an earlier cage. There's a lot of other dragons coming and going around there."

It moves a little closer to the town of Caius.

"At the deepest end of the spectrum, there is a cage where there are individuals as soon as they begin their ordination. They're no different from the wild."

"My job is to teach them how to do it."

I said that because I thought there was only the deepest part left.

But Dora scolded me.

"You fool. There is no way to leave such an important and dangerous role to the newcomers. Over here."

That is how Lady Dora proceeded, on the side road between the cage and the cage.

As I took the side road, I heard a tremendous squeal.

Perhaps a wild pre-tutorial dragon rang.

The sound of giant reptiles comes to the bottom of your belly.

If you hear it up close, you'll lose your hips. [M]

Even I was eating a warcraft in the demonic realm, my legs nearly stopped for a moment.

In warcraft and dragons, dragons are still better in character.

If Master Dora hadn't walked forward, my legs might have stopped too.

And Master Dora was seeing through my heart like that.

Looking back, he sent the usual cold gaze.

"What's the matter, cowardly?

"No, I was just suddenly surprised"

"Fine then. You seem to be losing your hips to this extent, but you can't do your job."

I'm in the mood, too.

It's never just plain work waiting for us from here on out.

I wasn't licking it.

But I thought it was safer than fighting something.

■

What I've been brought here is a cage of red dragons.

Compared to other individuals, the red dragon was quite small.

At the time, I wondered if he was probably still a child or an immature individual.

The dragon seemed excited, roaring, making his nose rough, but also alert, keeping his back on the wall and his posture low.

It's going to bite.

Flying through the sky with my husband on board would be another dream of a dream.

"First of all, you'll be in charge of tutoring this guy."

"Ha!"

"I dare not say anything at first. Feel what a dragon looks like on his skin."

Dora taught me everything but how to fly, but I thought it was unusual.

There was also a feeling that I had been pushed away.

Nevertheless, teacher and student time is over now.

Now that I've been subordinated, I guess the time has come for me to explore my own ways, naturally.

"If you really think it's mundane, you can kill it."

"Can I kill you, sir?"

"I'll be back in a year or so to see it"

That's all Lady Dora said, she left early.

On the spot, me and the roaring dragon were left behind.

"Grrrrrrrr...... Gaw!

……

Dragons intimidating me in front of you.

Before him, I thought for a while.

How can we subjugate this dragon?

Knock it off.

No, this dragon is still small, but it was probably beaten up, caught, and brought here by someone from the Dragon Clan.

And yet, disobedience is a foolish dragon with no idea of power.

It would be useless for me to do it.

……

I thought about it for a while before leaving the place behind.

We headed back to the passage earlier and approached the Dragon clan that just took us down the street.

I gave him the most salute when he looked at me and looked at me surprised.

"My name is LaPlath, and I am under Dora's command as of today."

"... are you new? I'm Gara."

"Dear Gara, may I ask you one thing"

After you thought about it, you asked your senior for help?

No, that's not it.

Dora told me to feel the dragon on my skin.

If I get my senior to help me, I'll go against that order.

I just thought I'd get you something to do for yourself.

"Where is the bait to feed the dragon"

"Oh, then go straight through here..."

Yes, bait.

I know it's a simple idea, but I thought rice was more important than anything else.

Wild creatures are the most important thing, anyway.

I know perfectly well because I was myself, but the day is cycling around meals anyway.

So, food first.

I followed Gara's words, moved to the pantry, and got a meal of food from the rep who was there.

Huge red dragon meat.

Let the dragon eat the meat of the dragon together.

That may be that dragon meat is the staple food of the Dragons, but you wanted to give them the realization that you were already on the side of attacking the Red Dragon by feeding them your own.

Well, I'm back in front of the Red Dragon with the bait.

The first thing to do is fill your belly.

That's what matters.

"Gugaaaa!"

But the dragon stared and growled at me with giant meat.

I don't want that. Just go away, but don't tell me.

Naturally, putting the meat in front of him didn't even look forward to it.

I guess that means you won't take it from me.

Maybe he suspected it was poisoned.

"... here we go"

That's where I put all my measures.

Whoa, you still just tried one, didn't you?

You might think so, but I was like that at the time.

I've lived as a wild child for a long time in the demonic world, and there's no way I could have cared about dragons before, just studied and trained a little in the dragon world, right?

"Yes."

No, there was one.

In my short and poor experience, there is an intense impression, one event.

"Let's name him"

Name.

Yes, it's a name.

In order to create an up and down relationship, I thought it was important to give it a name.

I did have the feeling when I was named that I heard something important.

I also had a strong will to live for this man, the Dragon God.

That's why it was a name.

At the time, there was little such as naming the dragon.

Dragons don't distinguish between dragons, red dragons, and black dragons, and there were hardly any designations for identifying individuals.

"What's your name..."

But for me, it's the first time I've been named.

It didn't suddenly come up with a name or anything, and I got to think about it a little bit in front of the roaring dragon.

"Gaw!"

Did the motion appear weak?

The dragon suddenly let his body jump, attacking me.

"... wait a minute"

I grabbed the upper jaw without making it up.

Compared to Dora's motion without waste or hesitation, the movement of the frightened Red Dragon was the same.

Even with the force, yes.

By then, thanks to adequate training, I had begun to understand how to handle Ryuki.

I hadn't noticed the mighty power of sleeping in me yet, but still enough to vitalize the smaller dragon body.

No matter how much the dragon moved, the maxilla did not move as if it had been fixed in the air.

At the very least, trying to get my hands out of the way, I could put force into my mandible, but my hands couldn't even feed my teeth, instead of chewing them off.

Then, behind the dragon's brain, I guess I thought of the sight of him when he defied the Dragon tribe during his ordination and was about to be killed again and again.

In pain, the dragon thought so, winged and tried to escape.

But it doesn't work.

The body fixed with the maxilla, no matter how much the wings move, trying to twist the body, shows no signs of movement.

I even tried to throw up the braces, but the dragon, which was semi-frequent, couldn't do the motion of breathing heavily.

Eventually, the dragon burst tired and stopped working.

At the same time, I came up with it.

"Saleyakt...... um. Your name is Saleyacht."

When I said that, the dragon slowly raised its gaze.

The eyes of the dragon showed a literally different colour of hair than any other dragon tribe, with disastrous hair.

He said "Saleyakt" over and over again as he looked at the dragon.

Of course, the name doesn't make sense.

I somehow named it after the bathroom.

"Gugu......"

The Red Dragon is a fierce but smart creature.

Therefore, he immediately understood that it was the name given to him.

Finally, you can't beat me by force.

When I let go, Saleyakt immediately moved to the corner of the room.

He retreated to stick his butt to the corner and stared at me with frightened eyes.

"Saleyakt. Rice. Eat."

I put the bait in front of Saleyakt, who became quiet, again.

Huge chunks of dragon meat.

"Grrrrrrrr...... Gaw!

Saleyacht glanced at it, glanced at me, and barked again.

Even though I knew I couldn't win, I was still not willing to submit.

If he were to submit here, he wouldn't have been here.

The meat was never eaten that day.

Or so I didn't walk away either.

I was convinced that this is what Dora said about feeling the dragon on her skin.

Dragons are difficult, and it's not so easy to forgive the Dragons.

Unlike the dragons that the dragon warriors drive, they need to know it first...

I kept hanging out with Saleyacht.

All the time, all the time.

Until one day has passed, and two days have passed, and the meat has rotted and begun to smell.

When I found out I just couldn't eat, I removed the meat from the front of Saleyakt.

I took the meat to the scrap yard and threw it away.

What do you think happened after that?

I took the new meat and put it in front of Saleyacht again.

While I'm at it, I think it's stupid, stupid and one-pattern behavior.

But you don't have a choice.

The job I contracted from Master Dora.

I didn't mean to give up until it was done.

I don't even know how to do it.

I was thinking of doing it another way after Saleyacht ate the meat.

I thought you couldn't possibly not eat it.

I knew the spiciness of hunger.

But I didn't eat Saleyakt.

After three, four, five days, I didn't eat.

I didn't eat, either, of course.

He continued to hang out with Saleyacht while changing meat over and over again.

It's like we're competing for a fast.

■

How many days have passed?

The first thing that didn't work was Saleyacht.

I lost my roots and hit the meat...... not that.

Starving to death.

His hunger has reached its limits.

Instead of lowering his posture, he put his belly on the ground and collapsed.

But only the shitty eyes were directed at me.

There won't be enough power left to intimidate you already......

Meanwhile, as for me, I was still fine.

Because of the dragon blood, or because of the demon blood, I didn't have to eat it for a hundred days or so.

But I'm surprised.

I didn't think you'd eat meat until you were nearly starving to death.

It was incredible to me knowing how hard hunger is.

At the same time, there was respect for him.

I thought you didn't want to be so submissive.

I wondered if my pride was more important.

But if I had been put in a state of betrayal of the Dragon God and told to consider myself betrayed if I ate meat, I would have done the same thing.

Better dead than dead, that's the guy.

Not so many can practice.

I've decided to watch him die.

I was instructed by Dora.

Dora's orders are the same, i.e. Dragon God's orders. You shouldn't throw it out.

Nevertheless, they said I could kill him.

Then I thought I'd let him pass away while I was holding onto him.

"Farewell, Saleyacht. I won't forget your pride. Let's at least keep an eye on him close by."

That said, I sat beside Saleyacht.

No touching, but closer than earlier.

So, directly from the front, it was relative to the eye of Saleyacht.

An hour or two there.

I've been staring at Saleyakt for awhile.

Saleyak kept staring at me, too.

I thought that time would last forever.

That is the moment when death comes to Saleyacht and power is lost from his eyes.

"Gu......"

But at one moment.

Saleyacht missed his eye.

As if you can no longer stand my gaze.

And at the end of his gaze, which strayed from his eyes, was flesh.

He moved his neck powerlessly and moved his mouth closer to the flesh.

I tried to eat it.

I don't know what kind of grid there was in him.

But I knew he abandoned his possession and tried to pick up the raw.

I tried to live.

But that power was not left behind.

With his remaining power, it was best to mould his teeth on the meat.

I couldn't chew it up.

I got up right away.

And when I lifted the meat, I hit the chunk.

Stiff and muscular meat, but I chewed and chewed with strong jaws and sharp fangs.

And he threw the flesh, which had softened in his mouth, into Saleyacht's mouth.

Saleyakt chewed and swallowed the meat I softened, even weakly.

I checked it, chewed the meat many times, and fed it to Saleyacht.

Chewing on the meat, I also felt myself hungry.

So, while swallowing myself occasionally.

After repeating that several times, the first meat was gone.

I ran right to the pantry and brought some extra meat.

By then, Saleyacht had regained a little power.

It wasn't enough to stand up on my own feet, but my body had some strength back, and the light of my eyes was back, staring at me.

I think it digests a lot faster, but a dragon is a tough creature, so I guess that happens.

I wore, chewed and swallowed the meat in my hand, without worrying.

Then he pushed the leftover meat forward into Saleyacht.

This is how you eat, just tell them to try it on their own.

Even Saleyacht knows about how to eat meat.

Terrified, he stretched his neck and licked the dragon meat with a pepper.

Taste of good meat and taste of my saliva.

When they got on his tongue, he stumbled upon the meat, as he remembered once again that he was hungry.

Use your forelegs to hold down the meat, chew off hard muscles with sharp fangs, chew up bones, chew and swallow.

Saleyakt became obsessed and ate dragon meat.

But he returned it to me.

I was on the other side of the meat, in its eyes.

The presence in his eyes sat up and stared at the meat-eating Saleyakt.

Saleyacto has gently offered me meat using his forelegs.

I saw it and stood still for a few seconds before hitting the meat and chewing.

I don't know why I should, but I thought we should eat together.

And he returned the meat to Saleyakt, chewing with a mogomor in his mouth.

Saleyakt ate the meat with a delightful roar, and, after a few bites, returned it to me.

As such, several meat exchanges were exchanged and the meat was gone.

So I woke up to Saleyacht's head and opened my mouth.

"Salyakt, I'll raise you."

The words of the Dragon tribe did not make sense in Saleyakt at the time.

But he could understand what the word meant.

From this day on, I was no longer frightened by Saleyacht.

This was the first step for me, and an event that would be a big step.

You know what?

Failure may grow people greatly, but no matter how much they fail, it won't let them move forward.

But there's only one success that moves people forward.
