Reincarnation Monarch

As Elle slowly walked out, he gradually packed his distance from Menontius.

Along the way, I glanced at Gaius and suddenly spoke in a quiet tone.

"You, what are you bluffing about earlier? You can go to your friends now."

When Gaius returned to me much to Elle's words, he gave me a sorry look.

"El... sorry..."

"I don't mind. Go away."

Gaius nodded quietly and flew away at a fierce speed towards the dome where his classmates were being held captive as Elle urged him to.

Elle spilled her stupidity somewhat happily as she glimpsed its back sideways.

"Hmm. Not a caretaker at all."

The opposing Menontius then told him to throw up with a bitter face as opposed to Elle.

"Since when did you become a human cat?

Then Elle opened her mouth and laughed.

And when he had finished laughing, he raised one eyebrow and scowled at Menontius.

"So you're gonna keep provoking me? I'm really bored. Can't I tell you something else I cared about more?

"Why are you in this lower realm, the cat of God?

"Taunt me one way or the other, you're no bother. That would be nice. I'm kind, so I'm not answering."

Elle set aside a beat here and let it hold between, and said after a few moments.

"I've been looking for dragons for a thousand years."

Menontius then gave a much blurrier look.

"... thousand-year-old dragon?... well, that story about you suddenly showing up on Esta six years ago... but that's why you're on Gaius Schneider's side?

"Being on Gaius's side is not a triumph. And I wondered if your lord was the owner of the dragon for a thousand years... and that's not what it looks like."

"Ha! I don't even know what the difference is. If I had never had a monster that would only produce such destruction, I wouldn't have plans to have one in the future! Neither do I like destruction. But destruction alone does not make subsequent creation in that monster. What a senseless thing!

Menontius told me to throw up.

"Hmm. Destruction and creation? Don't you say a lot of cultural things? So you're trying to tell me that what you're doing in Dallas right now is a creation?

"... apparently you've been eavesdropping?

"What, because you're not bloody enough to jump in without even knowing what's going on. The Lord and Gaius have spoken to me."

"Well that's good. So, what do you want from a thousand years old dragon?

"Hmm. ♪ I can't teach you that much."

Elle snorted and said happily.

But at the next moment, the expression tightened and turned to a glaring look.

"What about your Lord? I thought you said you'd make Gaius king of Dallos, but what the hell are you gonna do with that?
