Chapter dsn2: Oshiete D-sensei! Lesson 2

Oshiete D-sensei! Lesson 2

D「Greetings. We are back with everyone’s favourite segment.」

M「I’ll do everything to pretend the previous disgrace never happened.」

D「E-v-e-r-y-o-n-e-’s f-a-v-o-u-r-i-t-e!」

M「There’s no need to be so desperate... Well, let’s get on with it already.」

D「E-v-e-r-y-o... [That’s enough, okay?」」

D「Ahem. Starting from the beginning then, it is time for the second “oshiete D-sensei”. On this occasion we shall discuss the gods.」

M「Ahh, that’s torn it I guess.」

D「At the time of the Past Arc, it was impossible to give an explanation about the gods. There was no other way, so there was no option except for D-sensei to make an appearance. Thus, this segment was revived.」

M「How meta.」

D「That being said, the explanation will not be especially detailed. The subject of the gods becomes a huge topic once you start to discuss it, so I shall only explain the parts relevant to the Past Arc.」

M「Specifically, that would be regarding the dragons and angels, right?」

D「Correct. As was touched upon in Past Arc 3, the dragons are a bunch of damn fools who believe in the supremacy of dragons.」

M「Do not use such bad language! You’re not wrong though.」

D「Indeed, seriously, they really are a bunch of good for nothings. They are egotistical and haughty creatures who cannot accept not being the best. Nonetheless, since they are strong at least they are troublesome in the extreme.」

M「Since the one in charge of the exposition is doing nothing but complaining I shall give a detailed explanation. Dragons are born with the expectation of being able to reach the realm of gods sooner or later, so they could be called the elite from the moment they’re born. The origins of them are also ancient, as they are said to be the second oldest gods, following the oldest gods known as the titans. They have both history, and power. As a result, they flaunt their successes and don’t hesitate to declare that the dragon race are at the very peak, and in fact they rule over many planets.」

D「In short, they are cocky.」

M「Well, you’re not wrong. However, they do in fact have enough power to justify that. Being gods they carry an enormous amount of energy within themselves for a start, and their bodies are far sturdier than any human’s. In addition they have high intelligence.」

D「Due to their personalities that high intelligence is not readily apparent though. Being narrow-minded is not good. Gyurie-kun would surely also blush at how he acted in the past.」

M「Just how much do you hate dragons? Sheesh. Let’s continue the discussion. The greatest trait that dragons have is their boundary field ability. Being able to completely invalidate the workings of magecraft, is the boundary field trait that dragons possess. In modern times the dragons and drakes that appear have the magic obstruction skill which is a deteriorated version of the ability that real dragons have.」

D「The dragons and drakes that exist within the System are imitations of real dragons after all. The only true dragon left on that planet is Gyurie-kun.」

M「......」

D「Of course, it is unknown if it was related. Indeed, completely unknown.」

M「U, undoubtedly it was unrelated. Surely it was. Let’s say it was okay.」

D「And we shall leave it at that.」

D「Well, let’s summarise things for a moment. The planet on which the main story is set was once the domain of angels. However, some sort, indeed, some sort of trouble occurred, and the angels apart from Sariel vanished, leaving Sariel alone to carry out her mission, and properly continued to protect the primitive creatures.」

M「Hey, please don’t emphasise the “some sort” part!」

D「Then the dragons secretly settled. Despite being scared of Sariel they waited for their chance to rule the planet. Sariel was indifferent to anything except her mission to protect the primitive creatures after all. So long as the primitive creatures were left alone they could stay there.」

M「It’s really touching to hear the effort they put in. I have nothing to say about how they arrived with the desire to rule the place though.」

D「They are dragons after all so it cannot be helped.」

M「That’s dragons for you.」

D「But, what we have been talking about is what happened prior to the Past Arc. From here on will be Po-no-ji’s secret manoeuvrings, Po-no-ji getting up to bad stuff, Po-no-ji being reckless and all sorts of other bad things.」

M「Isn’t it generally Po-no-ji’s fault?」

D「That is terribly correct. Then at the end of the world I shall make my descent! My glorious offer to save the world shall appear later in the Past Arc.」

M「What a terrible spoiler. Ah, no. You saving the world is a pack of lies.」

D「Evil Gods don’t lie.」

M「Liar!」

D「We shall end this second installment of “oshiete D-sensei” here. Well then, until next time. Good bye!」

M「Good bye.」

Gyurigyuri: In the past, I was a rascal to the extent that I would actually say “You damn inferior creatures!”

Meido-san: In the past, I was a rascal to the extent of killing random gods to improve my skill.

D: Past and present a rascal.
