Reincarnated as a Villain That was Killed Before the Game Starts

I'm not motivated by anything.

Travel to the Inn while Yuzur can take you.

I didn't know where I was going.

Maybe I'm trying to get back to my hometown island.

Though I thought of that in the corner of my head.

Apparently, the carriage was not moving in the direction of the sea.

"... Meiko, dragons don't. When he dies, he's going back inside."

The end of the long journey was an oasis of the desert.

It's a small city but lively and many people wear adventure-style clothes.

Yuzuru pulled my hand and put me down from the back of a creature resembling a camel.

"Inside... Inside the dragon..."

If you whine, it reminded me of the day I went into the dragon as a fake lover of Ixis, as it did yesterday.

"That's right. Somewhere in the sky, in the dragon. Dragons, when they die, the magic is arranged so that the carcass returns inside. The dragon's body becomes a material for magic props. To prevent that, when the life response disappears for a certain amount of time, the remains come back inside."

Yuzuru laughs that this is where the test goes.

"Meiko, let's go to the grave. You must be a loved one, right? My brother would like to see him again."

"... brother"

Crouch down, gaze at each other, and Yuzul speaks so.

Yuzuru wants me to put Keri with the past.

Yuzl says to go check on Ixis' death with this eye.

That seems gentle and harsh.

Leave me alone, leave me alone.

It wasn't like I didn't feel that way.

Just think about Ixis here and immerse yourself in memories forever.

It's bitter and sweet, a dream world.

I never wanted to face the death of Ixis.

"Meiko, it's okay. Now my brother will carry half of Meiko's suffering for you. Like Meiko did to my brother when Yayoi died. Lean on me, I'll spoil you a lot. So... be brave."

Yuzuru hugs me gently.

He seemed to tell me that he was okay because he was on his side.

Get your body away from me slowly, and Yuzuru will snap his cheek with his fingers.

"I guess he doesn't want to see Meiko like that. It's a guy who wants people to laugh all the time, right?

Yuzuru says that in a slightly teasing tone.

"What did Mako's favorite Ixis say he liked about Mako?

"He said he liked the smiling face... he said"

Answer the question and Yuzuru stretches his spine.

Then I laughed contentedly.

"Oh, well, he knows very well. Smiles look good on Meiko"

"But brother, I don't feel funny."

Speaking of which, Yuzl says he knows it too.

"You don't have to laugh now. It's okay one day. Was Mr. Ixis the kind of person you wanted Mako to be?

"... yeah"

Shake your head down to the side with a small voice that asks.

"Even though your brother doesn't know about Ixis... you know him well"

"Between those who like Mako... that's what I know very well. So, what do you want Meiko to do?

If you say something a little paradoxical, Yuzul laughs a little troubled.

My eyes pressing me to make a decision had a deep color that would accept everything.

"To see Ixis... I'm going in the dragon"

giggle.

What last did Ixis get?

I have to be sure of that.

Go inside the Dragon Clan.

See if Ixis is there.

Maybe he won't be there.

That's fine then.

That's - because it's a sign that Ixis is alive somewhere.

But I don't speak of that hope.

When I say it, hope is expectation.

The greater the expectations, the deeper the despair of the crushed moment.

"Oh well. Then my brother will only grant my sister's wish."

You shouldn't be laughing properly.

But Yuzuru said so and stroked my head that I had done well.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Using the bed of the inn instead of the table, Yuzul widened the map.

Before I say desert, it says dragon markings.

"Can you go from this desert to the dragons?

"No. There's a dragon at the end of this desert. We need the help of a dragon to get inside the dragon where we worked so hard. Trying to negotiate."

Yuzuru answered my question.

"How do you negotiate?

"That's the problem...... for now, is it a discussion?

He hasn't worked out much of a plan there, and Yuzuru makes a troubled face.

"Ahead of this desert is a place called Fairy Crave. Meaning is a fairy graveyard. Until three years ago, they had an elf country, but the red dragon destroyed them. Sometimes dragons come in there, and they're sitting there doing nothing, right?

"Red...... Dragon"

Yuzuru shrugs, as he sees my reaction.

The color of red reminds me of Ixis.

At the same time, I think it was the land of the elves that lay ahead.

It's the home of Hilda, the home of Tilia, who was the enemy.

The feeling that maybe, maybe.

"What color eyes do those dragons have?

"I don't know that far. I'm sorry."

Yuzuru apologized to me for eating.

Three years ago, just when Hilda died in an accident - probably overlapping with the time she was killed.

Maybe Ixis is alive.

After following Tilia to the kingdom of the elves, he may have destroyed it.

"Well, let's go see the dragon after we see the day. You should get some gear and go. If this one doesn't attack, the dragon won't attack, just in case."

The city seemed to have a bunch of famous adventurers trying to defeat the dragon that attacked the Elf country.

Though fewer adventurers went out to exterminate the dragon than at the time the Elf kingdom was doomed.

Still, the city seemed lively.

Even if you don't defeat the dragon, it seems to be well worth it just to be able to take that scale.

"I wish I was Mr. Ixis."

You must have figured out my expectations.

That's what I'm saying, Yuzuru's holding my shoulder.

"... yeah"

May I see Ixis.

With that in mind, I slowly closed my eyes.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

"There you are, there you are! Fairy Crave Specialty, Feather Senbay!

The next day, if you go to the city for support.

Is it also a tourist destination, all kinds of goods were sold.

They have merchants in every world.

Clothes in key holder on plate.

White butterfly feather motifs were commonly used.

"Why are souvenir motifs all white butterflies?

"There was something like a white butterfly feather on the back of the Elves. Sometimes there are exceptions, but the feathers were white and clear, and from what do they use white butterflies?"

Yuzuru answers me, like it's a good question.

What I recall is how I reacted when I gave Vice a handkerchief.

Why did you turn it into a white butterfly, though Vice has asked me.

That's because the white butterfly points to the elf.

For a moment I realized who it was, and now I think Vice may have been wary.

And I had one thing I remembered after a day.

This place called Fairy Crave also appeared in the maiden game Dusk's Crown.

There is no explanation whatsoever for the destruction of the land of Elves.

It was just an explanation that there was a country that was destroyed three years ago and there was a dragon there.

This place will be revealed when the hero gets the recipe for Sage Stone, the highest difficulty item in the game.

A dragon that won't come out once you knock it down.

Its strength is the highest of its enemies.

Being in love is the game of purpose, so you don't have to defeat it to get an ending in the game.

So few players exorcised dragons.

But I liked the alchemy element of this game, and I've fought dragons several times in the game to get the dragon horns, the ingredients of The Sage's Stone.

Sure, the dragon was red... but I don't even remember the color of my eyes.

In the game, dragons were only enemies to take material, and dragon-side circumstances were not portrayed as natural.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

After finishing my assignment, I finally decided to go see the dragon.

There was a party of adventurers before us this day.

Niyanya laughs at me, my little girl, and Yuzuru, whose lines are narrow and she looks like a good man, and then she dies to see if she's okay.

The adventurers with a strong body are in large numbers.

The face and atmosphere showed that the number of places was treading.

"Shall we talk to the dragons when those people get home? It's annoying to be together."

I agreed with that, too.

Until where the dragon is, a creature like a camel sends me.

Then if you go down and climb a mountain of sand that is rubbing away.

In the middle of the rubble down ahead, there was a red dragon.

On a pile of rubble, I'm standing there looking up at the sky.

The way it is - you look sad about something.

"In the long run, I'm not sure if you have golden eyes."

"Looks like that's not Ixis"

Answer muttered Yuzul with certainty.

Though dragons may all seem the same.

I don't know the color of my eyes from here, so Ixis can distinguish them properly.

Much like but not the same.

Well, I also thought I'd seen it somewhere.

The adventurers are headed for the dragon.

The dragon glanced at it.

I just came under attack and shook it off with my tail slightly.

But the adventurers, they magically retain it.

In the meantime, another adventurer unleashed powerful magic on the dragon.

Dragons bleed.

Like mad, I wrap everything around me in flames - I used the highest level moves of the flame attribute.

In an instant, the adventurers disappear.

I didn't know there was any sign of it.

Terrible power.

But - but more than that.

A dragon can roar sadly.

It bothered me that he seemed to be crying.

"Brother, I'm going to talk to you. Maybe we'll figure something out."

"Okay."

Yuzuru sprinkles a talisman on my words.

A talisman incorporating the junctional magic of dark attributes.

It was a very expensive talisman that had the effect of disabling attack magic only once.

Walk to the dragon's side.

A dragon noticed this way slowly turned his body towards this way.

Those eyes are black.

I knew it wasn't Ixis.

Somewhere cloudy eyes with darkness seemed to give up everything and mourn.

"Hello, my name is Yayoi Sinome. This is my brother Yuzl. Mr. Alsace Eltogo, right?

Name me politely and speak out loud.

The dragon opened its eyes wide.

"How do you know my name, little girl?"

A dragon changes appearance in front of you.

A young dragon tribe in his late twenties has a disappointing figure in his red hair.

The horn of the sheep next to the head is large, slightly black and crystalline.

Though he has a face that can be described as harsh and a neat, riddled brow gives the impression that he looks serious.

The wrinkles carved between the eyebrows were deep.

Alsace is the brother of Ixis and Ouga.

The third of the nine brothers.

Instead of her parents, Nicole and Olivia, she had heard from herself that it was Alsace who had raised Ixis and Ouga.

When Alsace was born, the other brothers were nestled and not inside.

So it seems that Nicole and Olivia had honeymoon season now more than ever.

Only my parents and myself at home.

Alsace had to be jealous of the rest of the house, frightened by his parents drooling over the sweet atmosphere.

If I had a brother, I could stand this air a little bit.

Alsace said she wanted Nicole and Olivia to have a brother.

That's how Ixis and Ouga were born.

Alsace adored her brother, who was born in his own desire.

Alsace saw nothing to take care of them when they let their parents raise them.

When I met Alsace in the dragon before, I had a chance to drink with Ixis, Ouga, and the four of us in Alsace.

"What do you like about Ixis? And tell me what you like about Augusto."

"What!?

In front of the two of them, Alsace attacked me with questions.

Ultimately, well, I got the word that you passed.

I felt like my aunt was checking my wife out.

He looked happy when the Ixis and Ouga lit up on the side.

That was so embarrassing.

I can recall it with my emotions.

I miss it, just for fun...... it made my chest ache painful.

"I, I know Ixis. I missed Ixis, and that's why I'm here."

I don't tell him it's Mako I met in the dragon as Ixis' bride, and that's all I say.

I don't know how far Alsace knows about our situation.

Besides, even if it was someone else who killed Ixis directly.

- I'm the one who created the cause that makes you die.

Knowing that, I felt like Alsace wouldn't let me see Ixis.

Straight ahead. Alsace is staring me in the eye.

Like trying to weigh that feeling.

So I never missed my gaze.

Because things with the same grief are one another, or I felt that there was something that just made sense by looking at each other.

Alsace is hurt by heartfelt mourning for the death of Ixis.

- This man is with me.

"Right."

Alsace shrugged, exhaling loudly.

"Ixis is... in the Dragon's Graveyard"

After a while, I just whined one word.

Sounds painful, with a squeezing voice.

The face was distorted so that I didn't want to admit it.

"Mr. Alsace destroyed the kingdom of the elves to avenge Ixis," he said.

"... what, you know that much"

To my guess, Alsace throws up in a self-derision.

"Doing that doesn't mean Ixis is coming home. I know..."

Alsace squeaks when she can't sort out her feelings.

The pain of Alsace in front of me came through painfully, as if it were about me.

"Ouga... how is Augusto doing"

"You know Augusto, too? I don't know how you got to know him, but if he did... he wouldn't come back when he went to another world."

Ask, and Alsace will cast an extra shadow in your eyes.

I felt like my tail was weak.

"It turns out you know Ixis. I'll take you to the graveyard. For him... Cry for him."

Alsace looks at me and she has such sweet eyes.

Being patient with tears - they were spotting me.
