Extra Chapter: Dragon King
I decided to rely on an Acquaintance
(POV: Ragneel)
As I jumped out of my castle, I am thinking while flying in the sky.
Seven kinds, isn’t that too many?
Is one kind not good enough?
If I collect one kind too many, isn’t that already spectacular enough?
However, let’s say I collected only one kind of flower.
From my wife, my mother – in – law, Wazu’s wives, the Goddesses……they will surely look at me with disgusted eyes, and I won’t be able to endure that.
Also, among Wazu’s seven wives, Meru is included.
If it happens and Meru also looked at me like that………… I will lose my confidence to live.
While Wazu’s still not here, I want to play with Meru.
Our father – daughter time is not enough.
However, let’s think of it now this way.
Here, if I can collect seven kinds of flowers and made them happy, won’t I be able to recover my dignity as a Dragon King which keeps falling recently?
Also, if I can collect them immediately, I can play more with Meru.
………… Isn’t that an amazing idea?
Meru will surely be pleased.
Meru will surely look at me with respect.
And then, we will spend our father – daughter time more.
…………… Umu.
I will be happy. Meru will be happy.
It’s a complete victory result.
When I think about it that way, power rises inside my body. (TN_KS: Seriously speaking, he is now annoying if it comes to Meru. He’s still cool though. Just annoying sometimes.)
Seven kinds of flowers, if it’s the me right now, I can gather them immediately.
The eager me, on that day, flew around the mountain to collect seven kinds of flowers.
……
………
…………… The next day, I noticed a problem.
That is, how should I collect them.
It’s out of the question to collect them there.
Of course, as a Dragon King, I want to collect the most gorgeous flowers.
It will be the stage for my daughter after all.
But, now that it comes to this, I don’t know what to do anymore.
After I ponder a little bit, I decided to turn to my acquaintance.
Same as Wazu? From the human race, I hope they can give me good advice……
◊ ◊ ◊
As expected, going there in my [Dragon Form] will cause chaos, so I descended near my destination, transformed to my [Human Form] and head off.
After a short walk, I can now see my destination.
At the gate of my destination, there was a line of people, so I lined up.
I at least learned to some extent when I and Wazu came here last time.
Soon after, it’s now my turn, the human guard called me out.
“Welcome, to the Citadel City, [Linnik]. For verification, can I have your ID card?” (Human Guard)
………What? ID card?
When I tilted my head, the human guard showed a troubled smile.
“…… ID card? ………Aah, the one that proves your identity? If so, this I is the Dragon King.” (Ragneel)
I turned and declared myself.
How is it! The overflowing aura of the Dragon King! Huh! Hah!
This is I, the Dragon King that lives at the top of the mountain in the middle of the continent.
Gwahahahahaha!
……………?
Mu? There is no reaction.
They may have been hit by my overflowing Dragon King aura.
Of course, I am the Dragon King.
There’s no way they don’t know—.
“Yes, yes, interesting, interesting. But, here in [Linnik], it’s better not to say that kind of joke. After all, we’ve once been helped by the Dragon King – sama. Since then, all the inhabitants have been praying everyday to thank the Dragon King – sama. If you say such words inside, the residents will beat you black and blue, you know?” (Guard)
Ooh, now that he mentioned it, something like that happened.
But well, the people of this town has wonderful minds.
A town that worships me.
………… Good. Next time, I’ll bring Meru here with me.
If she knows how much I am admired in this town, she will definitely praise me.
She might think about her father more.
No, that will absolutely happen.
………… Wait, wait a minute!
The Dragon King is I though!
Even in my [Human Form], to deny that I am not the Dragon King, that hurts……
I’ll introduce myself again.
“That Dragon King is I.” (Ragneel)
“Okay, I understand! In other words, you came here to start a fight, right!?” (Guard)
As he said that, the human guard in front of me pulled his sword out of its sheath on his waist and tried to cut me.
Why is that!
I’m just being honest here!
But this is troubling.
It is easy to bury other people but, I can’t do it to those who yearn for me.
Also, if it happens I did that regardless, it will bother my acquaintance, if Wazu came back and heard about this, I don’t know what will happen, I also don’t know how will mother – in – law appear in front of me and that is scary.
At worst…… I could lose my life.
………… Oya? Am I…… in pinch……?
Gununu. If this continued, I will be regarded as a failure of a father.
Not good. This is not good. Aah, this is really not good.
Still, I have to control the situation.
I looked around and searches if there’s something that can help me to control this situation.
Then, I saw a person coming out of the gate.
He walks behind the people in front of me very naturally.
“I’ll pass through behind you~.”
“Eh?…… Aah, Lut – san. Are you going to the sample site?” (Guard)
“Exactly!…… Fu, it can’t be helped, right? There’s many women waiting for me come. It’s really hard a man to be popular.” (Lut)
“…… That lie, everyone already knows about it, you know?” (Guard)
“It’s not a lie! It’s true! …… Well, the one who’s waiting for me is a male elf though, he asked me for a battle training.” (Lut)
He muttered something at the end but no one heard it, but I’m sure he is one of acquaintance, the High · Erof – Lut.
Moreover, it seems the people around here is familiar with him based on the atmosphere they gave off.
I might be saved now.
I saw hope on Lut.
“O, oh! Isn’t this Lut!”
““……………””
You’re still here? Is what the eyes of the people here telling to me. Lut looks at me with disgust and asking ‘who?’. That’s what their eyes are telling me.
…… Recently, I’m wondering just what is a Dragon King, that’s what I’m thinking.
No, no, don’t lose your feet now, I.
I am the Dragon King… I am the Dragon King… I am the Dragon King… Good.
“Bastard, you’re still here!? You fake Dragon King!!”
The speed of how this person’s personality change is scary.
………… I want to cry.
“Eh? What do you mean? Ragneel’s fake? This guy?” (Lut)
“That’s right, Lut – san.” (Guard)
“That’s not good, you. There’s lots of Ragneel’s followers here in Linnik. If you continue lying, you won’t be able to get out here with just a beating.” (Lut)
……………… Can I cry already?
I mean, I understand the other people here, but why Lut hasn’t noticed it yet?
Our friendship should not have been this much.
…… If it’s Wazu, he’ll recognize me immediately.
That was what friendship means, right?
Wazu, please come back immediately~!
No, in the first place, it’s Wazu’s fault why I’m experiencing this?
Once he comes back, I’ll welcome him with my [Fire Breath] in full power.
……… I don’t know how effective will that be though.
That’s something to think about later.
For now, I have to do something about Lut and the people here.
With these hostile people, should I do it? Also Lut.
Well, it can’t be helped now.
Even I don’t want to make a noise myself.
After I sighed, I released my [Human Form] and go back to my [Dragon Form].
After that, I called the human guard out from above.
“……… Is this enough? Little ones and Lut.” (Ragneel)
I asked them and go back to my human form.
There, I saw a dumbfounded Lut and the prostrating people.
This is, a wonderful dogeza.
Because I always do it, I have the knowledge to do the perfect dogeza.
Umu, this is wonderful.
“I’m really sorry about my rudeness. I didn’t think that you really are the Dragon King, please forgive me for my rudeness. I just got my daughter call me papa recently. Please forgive me. Please spare my life.” (Guard)
…… Is that so.
This human is also a parent.
“Umu. I also have a daughter. For your daughter’s sake, I will forgive you. Also, you’re just doing your job. It will be a mistake to blame you for it.” (Ragneel)
I have to show them how big – hearted I am.
After all, he is still one of my followers.
After I nodded, the human in front of me burst out on tears and lowered his head further.
“…… Then, what the hell are you doing here, Ragneel?” (Lut)
Lut finally recovered and asked me.
I want to complain various things about him but, I’m running out if time.
After all, I have to collect seven kinds of flowers before Wazu comes back.
That’s why, I’ll just answer him for now.
“I came here to see one of my friends, Regan.” (Ragneel)
“Regan? ……… Aah, the lord of this town.” (Lut)
Hou, Regan is the lord of this town now, huh?
When I came here before, he was the Guild Master this town’s Adventurer’s Guild, so he got promoted.
As a friend, I’m happy for him.
“Then, I’ll guide you to the lord’s house.” (Lut)
After Lut said that, I asked the human in front of me.
“Can I go now?” (Ragneel)
“Yes! Dragon King – sama. Please go through. We are delighted for your visit.” (Guard)
“Umu, your job to protect this town is necessary. I encourage you.” (Ragneel)
“Yes!” (Guard)
THIS · PLACE · IS · GOOD~~!
This is it! This is how a Dragon King should be treated! (TN_KS: uwa, how cheap)
In this town, I may be able to recover my majesty as a Dragon King. (TN_KS: don’t know, mate. I got a feeling you will do dumber things in the future that will lower your status more.)
“Well then, let’s go.” (Lut)
“Umu” (Ragneel)
Following Lut, I pass through the gate.
“…… Lut, is it really okay to postpone your errand?” (Ragneel)
“………… What’s the fun if there’s no female elf there.” (Lut)
Somehow, I feel darkness coming from Lut.
And thus, I got inside the town.
