Book 5: Chapter 3: Part 3

Heres the chapter, enjoy~Part 3

You have succeeded in taming the [Genesis Dragon]

.Eh?

Mmm? Whats wrong?

I rubbed my eyes involuntarily at the message that appeared in front of me. But no matter how many times I checked, the contents in the message didnt change.

I was hesitant to tell Dragon-san about it.

W-well Dragon-san, um, You youve been tamed by me.

Huh? What did you say? The human food you served was indeed delicious, but that doesnt mean Ill be tamed byIts been dooonneeeee!?

Dragon-san seemed to have checked his status, and his eyes were popping out. From Dragon-sans words, it seemed to be the undeniable truth that he was tamed. Yuti also froze with her eyes wide open.

Kaori didnt understand the meaning of taming, so she just tilted her head in confusion. Night and Akatsuki didnt seem to be making any particular noise.

Why why did this happen? What would happen to me now that Ive been tamed?

Err Im sorry?

Im not looking for an apology! You must release me now!

Eeh!? Even if you ask me to release you, I dont know how No, Im also troubled by taming Dragon-san, too

Why have you tamed me in the first place?

Im sorry, Im honestly surprised as well.

If its a dragon, no matter how hard I tried, I couldnt take him outside on Earth. He might be seen as a rare lizard without the wings, but Dragon-san has magnificent wings and is able to fly. Theres no way to deceive others on Earth with regards to that.

Besides

Um, speaking of trouble, we originally came here since we heard that Dragon-san has awakened

What? What do you mean by trouble?

Although there was a legend that Dragon-san was sleeping in this valley, no one believed it. But recently, with the monsters in the valley suddenly becoming active as if they were fleeing from something and, more importantly, with Dragon-sans roar, people thought that the legend might be true And if the legend was true, the people were worried about what kind of action Dragon-san would take, as well as many other factors

Hmph. Well, it cant be helped if they dont know about me nowadays After all, its been thousands of years since I had last been awake.

T-thousands?

Yes. Im sure that it was the smell of Holy and Evil that has awakened me, but as you can imagine, sleeping for so long makes me hungry. That is why I ate the monsters which were reasonably close by and then the other monsters fled from me.

I-I see

There were many things I wanted to say, but the most important part was that this happened after thousands of years, so Sage-san was a person from at least thousands of years ago Its no wonder that people didnt know about him like Dragon-san.

Although the impact of Dragon-sans words was huge, its difficult to comment on Dragon-sans behavior, especially if it seemed to be a bother. Dragon-san looked unperturbed and laid down.

Hmph So what are you going to do now?

Eh? Well Ive tamed you, for now, so I thought I should give you a name.

Youre starting with that? No, its important too, but!

Personally, I feel that calling you Dragon-san will be just fine

Thats no good! If youre going to give me a name, it should be a cool name thats befitting of me!

Since Dragon-san asked, I was thinking of ideas for his name again. But rather, is he already accepting that he was tamed? No, it seems much worse.

I looked at Dragon-san again and thought.

Dragon-san is a majestic figure worthy of being a legendary dragon; his scales are a mixture of deep purple, black, and vermilion, which creates a feeling of luxuriousness.

Hmm then how about Ouma?

Ouma?

Yes. How should I say this? From Dragon-sans appearance, the word Oumagatoki* just comes to me

[T/n: Oumagatoki means twilight, or the time for disasters (similar to the witching hour but not midnight)]

Whether Oumagatoki is in the evening or not, thats the kind of color I am reminded of, so I just explained

Then, Dragon-san mumbled the name I suggested and nodded his head a few times.

Ouma Ouma huh? Its good. Im Ouma from now on.

Ah, yes.

By the way, what is your name? Although Im still reluctant, youve at least become my master. Is it not strange to not know your name?

Dragon-san No, Ouma-sans words reminded us that we never introduced ourselves, so we hurriedly told him our names. After hearing that, Ouma-san nodded again.

Yuuya, Kaori, Yuti. And then Night and Akatsuki, huh? When I look around again theres a few unusual individuals here.

Is that so?

Dont you realize? Yuuya and Yuti have a strange smell which is like a mixture of Holy and Evil. I dont feel any threat from Kaori, so its a mystery as to why she is here. As for Night and Akatsuki U-umu. Looking at these two, isnt it strange that you tamed them?

Eh? I-is that so?

I highly doubt it, but do you know of Nights race? Akatsuki is a bit special, so its not surprising if you dont know about him

I know about Nights race, you know? Its Black Fenrir, right?

Eh.

Then, for some reason, it wasnt Ouma-san who froze, but Yuti, who was listening in on our conversation behind me.

Yuti-san, whats wrong?

K-Kaori. Did Yuuya just say Black Fenrir?

Y-yes. Thats right. Night-san is that kind of wolf.

Thats two legendary species in one place

Eeh?

Im puzzled by Yuti, who is holding her head. I dont understand what she meant. Then Ouma-san told me with a sigh.

Sigh Its no wonder that Yuti is like that. Although Night is not from a species that has lived since the creation of the world. But when it comes to combat power, Black Fenrir is on par with me.

Eh.

The current Night is just a child and is developing but I have never heard of a tamed Black Fenrir. Considering how he is tamed and raised by Yuuyas hands he could become the most powerful Black Fenrir in history.

Huh

I didnt expect Night to become as strong as Ouma-san. Well, since he was in the [Great Devils Nest] as a child, I didnt expect him to be weak.

Night, youre a terrific guy, arent you?

Woof? Woof.

Fugo! Fugofugo!

Eh? Yeah, I know Akatsuki is amazing too.

Buhi? Fugo.

Woof. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Night himself didnt seem to understand my question, and after tilting his head, he snuggled up to my leg. Akatsuki rubbed up against my other leg, showing off that hes amazing too. Well, theyre cute, so its okay.

Theyre cute, so its not a problem.

Theyre a big-shot, you know? Its the same as having a hell of a force!

Affirmation. I was nervous about the fight with Evil, but with Ouma in front of me, and Night growing up, its safe to say that it would be a waste of time to worry about Evil. Thats about as strong as a fighting force gets.

It is that much

Of course. Who do you think I am? Normally, I am not interested in you humans, so I ignore them, but I can put an end to the conflict between the Holy and Evil in an instant if I choose to.

H-how?

By blowing up this planet.

Thats blowing things out of proportion!

What do you mean by destroying an entire planet? If you do that, you wouldnt be safe either, would you, Ouma-san?

Then, as if he knew what I was thinking, Ouma-san snorted.

You may be worried about something trivial, but I can live anywhere. Theres no harm in wiping out a planet; its simply a matter of finding another one.

Eh, horrible

Yes, I am! I am one to be feared! I am not one to be tamed in any way!

But you have been tamed and

Thats why, how veeeexxing!

Ouma-san lamented incessantly. I dont know even if you ask me that.

Gnunu If this cannot be reversed, then I hope it will be more fun than before. If not, my taming is just a loss for me! Yuuya, can you satisfy me?

Err? Maybe with the Earth cuisine or information about Earth?

Eei, aint that interesting!

Itll be okay. Ouma-san looked frustrated for some reason, and I brushed it off inwardly.

Well then, shall we go home? The dragon in question, Ouma-san, has been tamed, and if Ouma-san was the cause of the monsters activities, everything will be back to normal once he is gone

Hmph. If your business was to investigate me, then youre done here. As Yuuya says, once Im gone, the monsters will naturally return here.

Then everything is fine. Lets go with that.

As I was about to say lets go home, Kaori raised her hand timidly.

Uh

Hmm? Whats wrong? Kaori

That Ouma-san? However, we were asked to investigate the problems, and of course, Ouma-san is the cause of all these problems, right?

Well, I guess so.

I dont know much about the situation on the human side, anyway said Ouma-san.

Then, what should we tell the people in the royal capital and especially to Owen-san, who made this request to us? said Kaori.

Ah.

I froze at Kaoris words. Thats right. Originally, Ouma-sans awakening was the cause of much trouble, and Owen-san sent us here to find out if he had awakened.

But the most important thing here is that I cant simply say that I took the legendary dragon back with me, can I?

W-what should we do?

W-well, I guess well just have to be honest with him

Thats right

I dont know what the reaction will be. But I cant fool him, then Ill just have to be honest. Just when I think we can finally go home, a new problem comes up. But theres no point worrying about it, so Im dragging my heavy feet to return to the capital.

Um, Yuuya-dono. Can you repeat it?

Um, the one next to me here is the legendary dragon. Yes.

After returning to the royal capital, I immediately went to report to Owen-san. But for some reason, I was taken in front of Arnold-sama.

Its also that Arnold-sama felt sorry that he had to ask me, a person from another country, to help them out. When the content of the report was about the legendary dragon, he wanted to hear about it in person. Thats very courteous indeed.

However, because of this situation, the only people in this audience room right now are us, Owen-san, and Arnold-sama.

Id like to say hello to Lexia-san and Luna as well, but they are currently away on official business or something. The princess is very busy, after all.

Im trying to escape from reality, but since I have an unfamiliar dragon with me, Owen-san seemed to have guessed the situation and decided to ask me about it in detail with Arnold-sama. Im nervous about going in front of Arnold-sama, perhaps even more nervous than when I met Ouma-san

It might lead to misunderstanding if I left the situation up to their interpretation, so I honestly reported it to them. As expected, both Arnold-sama and Owen-san ended up with headaches.

Although I was concerned about Arnold-sama and the others, Kaori was also very nervous because she was in front of the King. I wanted her to relax somehow, but in front of Arnold-sama was just

On the contrary, Yuti, who had previously attempted to kill the first prince, Rhaegar-sama, was just standing absent-mindedly and did not feel any tension.

As I was pondering what to do in this somewhat chaotic atmosphere, Ouma-san, the center of this case, opened his mouth as he laid on the ground annoyed.

What, human. What is so strange about this me being tamed? Hmm?

N-no! Thats not what.

Of course its strange! said Owen-san

Eeh?

Owen-san tried to butt in in Ouma-sans good mood, and Ouma-san didnt expect to be cut off here and was confused.

I dont understand it either! But I cant do anything about it because Ive been tamed just like that. Its not me whos strange but him.

I was just making a curry

Whats to blame is the human food that tastes so good!

Its not my fault after all? No, the curry isnt wrong either.

Well, thats okay

So, what should I do?

W-what should you do, you ask?

Arnold-sama replied to my question with a twitch of his cheeks

Well, this uproar was caused by Ouma-san and it was this dragon

Wha? I didnt do anything wrong!

But you shouldnt have caused trouble for other people, should you?

I am a dragon; I dont give a damn about human circumstances!

You can communicate with both dragons and humans, so you need to be a little more considerate of their situation.

Gnununu!

As I explained that to Ouma-san, Owen-san and Arnold-sama looked at us with distant eyes.

Owen. Did my eyes get screwed up? The legendary dragon is being preached!

No, Your Majesty. Its real.

Its okay. I am also confused about what I see.

R-right wait, who are you?

I am Yuti.

Yu-Yuti? Owen, do you know who she is?

Eh? Ah, well um, its hard to explain, I guess you could say

King. Do not worry about the details.

You seem very familiar!

Yuti, you stay away! My apologies. Shes somewhat out of touch with the world

No, I mean, shes quite spirited Anyway, isnt the legendary dragon supposed to be bigger? I cant imagine him raising a roar that could make the whole castle tremble from a small body like that

I had no idea that he is the legendary dragon until I led them here, but Yuuya-dono said he had an item that allows one to change the size of their body at will

Yuuya-dono, who on earth is he actually?

Its one question Id love to know the answer to as well

While Ouma-san and I were still discussing, Arnold-sama let out a sigh and continued.

So, what do you think we should do?

Well First of all, it would be impossible to eliminate him.

Y-youre right. Im not sure of his abilities, but if the appearance of a mere dragon can cause the majority of our troops to be lost. In addition to being able to communicate with us, he has been alive since the creation of the world

The longer a dragon lives, the stronger and more powerful it becomes in terms of both its magic and its body No matter how you look at it, this is not something that a country could take on.

If thats the case, Id like to keep Yuuya-dono in this country

Its not easy. Yuuya-dono is obviously a foreign nobleman or royalty

Mmmm we really have no choice No, Yuuya-dono can be considered to be a benefactor for Rhaegar and myself. Thats why its best to not ask for cooperation by force

If a country hostile to ours could control the legendary dragon at will, there is nothing we can do about it.

Yes. Im very grateful to Yuuya-dono for helping us with this incident No, I dont know if Yuuya-donos country is friendly to us or not, but at least Yuuya-dono is very friendly to Lexia!

Dont trigger your doting parents foolishness here but I do think well have to leave it all to Yuuya-dono. From the beginning, Yuuya-dono is outstanding in terms of individual capabilities. It wouldnt be a surprise if a dragon that could easily destroy the country joined as his companions after all this time. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to continue to live in the [Great Devils Nest].

He is truly a mysterious person. The only option is to surrender or be destroyed if the legendary dragon attacks. It is useless to think about it too much. Yuuya-dono.

Eh, yes?

I was in a heated discussion with Ouma-san about not bothering humans. Unexpectedly I was approached by Arnold-sama. I mean, what am I doing, neglecting the King like that? I wont be executed for impoliteness, will I?

Arnold-sama opened the discussion in a dignified manner to me, who was inwardly scared.

Yuuya-dono. Regarding that dragon Ill leave everything to you, Yuuya-dono.

Eh?

We cannot make this matter about the dragon public. So Im sorry that I cannot reward you for your investigation. Of course, we do not demand anything from you either. Thats why we leave this up to Yuuya-dono.

Leaving everything up to me?

As I was puzzled by Arnold-samas words, Owen-san also chimed in.

Yuuya-dono. Ill tell you clearly. Well leave it entirely up to you.

Its really clear!

Its really clear! Thats right! No one knows what to do with this legendary dragon, right?

In the end, as per Arnold-samas decision, there was no mention of Ouma-sans roar or the damage by the monsters caused by Ouma-sans gluttony, and this audience ended.

Fortunately, there were no casualties included in the damages caused by the monsters that escaped from the valley, which was probably significant. Nevertheless, too much happened today, and so, in the end, our original goal of showing Kaori around the royal capital could not be achieved.
