The 5000-year-old Herbivorous Dragon

Four men walk through the green mountains.

Each of them is armed with swords, bows and the like, creating a refined atmosphere.

"Hey, is it true that there are rare beasts in this mountain that can sell for a high price?

"Oh, definitely. I checked with the sightings, but they look just like the Tysan Catali lizards that were supposed to have perished a long time ago. If we can catch him alive, he'll want the rich."

"But this mountain is home to Evil Dragon Leavendia, right?

The bearded man walking in the lead laughed humbly. He's the oldest and the leader man in all this.

"Hey, it's Evil Dragon Leavendia. That dragon died in Perudona a while ago, didn't it? After defeating the Demon King, those city adventurers debated where he was weak - isn't that the story? I'm not even in this mountain."

The three following snorted with a grin at the words.

Speaking of Evil Dragon Ravendia, it was synonymous with humanity's fear. But the other day, its existence disappeared with the abominable Demon King. Even if this mountain was once told that Leavendia was a rooted castle, there is no longer anything to be afraid of.

- It should have been.

"Wow!

The anomaly began with the screaming of one man.

When the bearded man looked back at the scream from behind, one of the three children behind him was gone.

"Hey, where is he?

"Wow, I don't know. He was gone for a moment."

The bearded man kneels quickly to check his surroundings. There are no cliffs or slopes anywhere to fall.

There was just one strange thing.

"What? This water reservoir..."

Even though it wasn't raining, and there wasn't spring water, there was a water hoard in the mountain path.

Maybe the disappeared man was just in the position to step on. But it's impossible that every adult can disappear when there's a water hoard that's not even bottomless marsh.

"Shit, did you go somewhere with poop or something...?

"But parentage. Didn't he scream?

"Don't be scared. You must have panicked because you were about to leak."

"Wow!

The moment I tried to give an optimistic interpretation, a new scream arose.

If the bearded man turned around again, one of his children would have disappeared again.

"Oh, man. What happened now!?

"Oh, my goodness! Up! Up!

"Go!?

If one of the molecules looked over the head pointing, there was one screaming.

- A child whose whole body is entangled in a thread like a spider's nest and hung without power.

"Ugh, wow!

One of the remaining children runs out scared of fear.

"Hey! Wait for me! Don't panic at times like this!

While I said that, my parents also remembered the upset.

Nor are the children amateurs. Even if some lowlife demon is getting a little bite out of it, there shouldn't be anything they can do right away.

How powerful a demon takes this mountain as its root castle.

It's also a mysterious water hoard and a spider's nest-like yarn. There are demons who use two distinct abilities.

Therefore, a child fleeing forward uttered a sobering voice.

"Ahhh! The adventurer there!

There was an adventurer in armor ahead of him.

A long body that just looks up in heavy-duty armor that covers your entire body. He was a first-rate adventurer that I could rely on to see.

"Mm? What can I do for you?

"Yes! One fellow into this mountain after another gets hit...... it must be the work of the mountain demons! Please help!

The child was stuck with a big man in armor, but his parents stood on their feet along the way.

Something's wrong.

From this big man, he doesn't have a human atmosphere. It has a more awe-inspiring atmosphere than that.

"Hmm - that must be the work of someone I know. The 'Lord' of this mountain is not the guy who deals with such small things. He is a masterpiece who defeated us. I don't know what to hide. I'm not going to try that return match right now. Waha."

"To?"

"You may have come to challenge him, but you're not saying anything bad. Turn around here. Otherwise, his family might wipe you out without a trace - go to sleep."

His parents turned their heels back and fled.

Behind him, there was the sound of the child falling into the ground with a disconnected scream.

I don't know what that means.

Wasn't it supposed to be lizards who live in this mountain that are just big and have little fighting power? Why is it that the next horrible presence springs up?

At the end of the beast path I ran through sweating on my forehead, my parents finally saw it.

- Huge dragon.

The appearance looked just like that of a Tysan Catali lizard.

But the intimidation released from it is not that of a very herbivore. He stares at the world with such ferocity that he darkens the signs of excessive atrocity and does not drink this one.

This is no way.

Real.

Evil dragon.

"Uhhhhhh!!!

To much fear, my parents incontinently lost their minds.

――――――――――――――………

"If I raced already. You told me you shouldn't release homicide to the encounter.

"Ha. I'm sorry. But these guys seemed to have broken into the mountains with disrespect, so I couldn't help but be hostile."

When I was eating grass, suddenly a man jumped out of my path and passed out when he saw me.

It goes without saying what caused it.

This is Leiko, who sat on my back. Instead of saying hello, he was tempted to kill the intruder.

"Lizard. Weird people were coming in again!

"Ravendia! I got one too!

"My whole life is sleeping alone over there."

Then came the grass, and the Virgin, and the manipulators, and Mr. Yolo.

"Oh, I'm sorry, guys. Can you keep the man you caught at the foot?

This was my routine these days.

The story of 'The Evil Dragon Ravendia defeated the Demon King, but was debated in Perudona where it weakened' spread in the alley, and it was assumed that I did not exist.

But because of that, this mountain began to be followed by poachers seeking a rare beast named Me.

It is the days when Laeko and his occasional friends will catch it.

"Dragon, by the way. I guess today is the day you get my return match, huh?

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Yolo. I'm not feeling well today, so will you wait another thirty years?

"Mm-hmm. I'm not serious about doing this with you that's not full. I have no choice but to wait for you."

The Virgin, the fuckers, and Mr. Yolo, are they free on a daily basis, each coming face to face this mountain once every two days? It is not uncommon to gather together in this way at once.

but I had another visitor today in addition to this.

"Four again today...... that's as many as ever"

It's Aliante.

The sword slaughtered him off, and he appeared from the mountain path without the appearance of labor.

"Oh, it's unusual. Your lord came to see you, too."

"I'm not here to see you. I need to talk to you."

That's how Alliante spread it out of his nostalgia was the guild's reminder.

"These days, this whole neighborhood is being designated a demon because you guys are turning back all the people who step into this mountain. The investigation team will be formed soon."

"It doesn't matter if it's a 10,000 army investigation team. I'll erase them all."

"Laeko. I always told you, you shouldn't have that idea."

Alliante, with her arms around her, laughs a little and nods.

"Stay away from this place for a little while until it's almost cold. If you think it's going to be a long journey, it's going to be a hassle."

"... but Aliante"

"Don't worry."

Alliante continues to speak as if he had prefaced my concerns.

"In the village at the foot, Liot takes care of the temple. When he comes back, you'll see."

"... well. Liot's back."

I stayed in this mountain because I was waiting for my fake family to return.

So that whenever he comes back, I can always say welcome back.

"... we should be able to come back to life soon, but what is that family II doing"

"Well. That guy needs time to sort his mind out too... Unless I'm waiting for you, too."

But if Liot is waiting for him, he'll be allowed to leave me here for a while.

It's not a good idea to stay in this mountain for too long and make a scene. I look back at Laeko sitting on my back.

"Bye, Leiko. You want me to go on a trip for a while? I don't really have a purpose or anything anymore... but still, it's fun to meet a lot of people?

"Yes, if the evil dragon is going, I am in possession of following to the end of the world."

My journey with Leiko was tough, but much more enjoyable than my previous lonely life.

So the journey ahead must be fun too.

"Except Leavendia. Don't give me any trouble on the way."

"Ha. It's all right. There are no more Demon Kings, no more enemies, and I won't let you get into trouble if you ask me to."

Previously on Dobby, it's been fun in retrospect

There is also some loneliness, to be honest with you, that it will go away. But after all, the world has never crossed the line of peace.

I will peacefully enjoy my journey with Laeko.

"Well, don't worry. If anything goes wrong, talk to your Lord right away."

―――――――――――……

A few days later.

"The destruction of the kingdom of Asga! Living Evil Dragon Leavendia! The king's capital is the sea of fire! Is there a way to be human!?

Temporary accommodation in Perudona on the way to reconstruction. The command tower at the top of it is the living room of the city's leader, Aliante.

So he opens a side article of the newspaper, and Alliante is just silent.

I'm mini-sized because of the effect of the drug, and I sit in the front of it.

"Heh."

At the same time, an iron claw is scratched on my face.

"I told you to go on a journey, but I don't remember telling you to make all this noise all of a sudden. What the hell happened?

"Chi, it's not. Newspaper articles are on parade of misunderstanding and exaggeration...... As a matter of fact, there was no human damage... but the king's capital became an ocean of fire."

"What would happen if it did?

"It's all sorts of unfortunate coincidences, unexpected troubles, fate pranks and raccoon outbursts meshing..."

As I and Aliante argue, Laeko crosses my back with a Doya face.

"The glory of the evil dragon confuses many. It is inevitable that there will be a noise that will return the heavens and the earth..."

"So, what actually happened, Leavendia?

"It looks like the Demon King is gone and the demons are starting to fight for hegemony. Plus Asga's king and sister are the weirdest people in the ring, and they're in trouble."

I can hardly explain the situation in a word.

But I can assure you that peace will never seem to come to me.

"Come on, let's go around the place at this rate and keep the nations in our hands, Master Evil Dragon. Now that the Demon King is gone, there is nowhere to stop us from conquering our world."

Looks like you're having fun on my back, Leeko.

Has this child really understood what I want to tell you?

Still, I mourned, and I think I must have enjoyed it.

Because I'm not alone anymore.

Because I guess I'll keep it noisy and fun with everyone.

"... thank you"

I thank you softly to the kind lying storyteller who made me that way.

Laeko was still trying to get his wings on his next destination.
