94 Lesson 94: The Return of the Emperor

"All right, now we've got the corners in place!

After stopping the twitching between Moffmoff and the Golden Dragon, I was sharpening and finishing the corners and scales of the Golden Dragon.

"Grrrrrrrrrr......"

The all-you-can-grow, all-you-can-stretch horns and scales are neat, and the Golden Dragon itself feels refreshed.

"That sounds sad..."

Huh? I don't think so.

In previous life, the Dragon Knights raised the same voice when they took care of horns and scales.

"Cuuuuu."

If you look at it, Moffmoff is refreshed at the foot of the Golden Dragon, and so on, he's pounding his forefoot lightly.

"The light of the Golden Dragon occurs when its own magic reacts with the luminescence found in the corners and scales of the body surface. So if you take care of it this way, you can reduce the emission."

Until just now, I really couldn't wait to dazzle you.

But by taking care of it, the Golden Dragon's body is now reduced to moderate luminescence.

Care is important after all, isn't it?

I wonder if it feels like scaly if it's hairy.

"My parents are supposed to teach me how to take care of my golden dragon, but this golden dragon stretches all I can with horns and scales, and it doesn't look like my parents have taught me how to take care of it."

"So this golden dragon doesn't have parents?

"I don't know why you lost an accident or a territorial battle with another demon, but I think you probably did."

"Oh well..."

No heart, or relieved, Liliera and the others.

"But in a way, you might have been lucky. The Golden Dragon material can be quite excellent, so thanks to not taking care of it, we've got a good amount of scales."

In previous life, in some areas, it was forbidden to kill material dragons. It seems that hunting rules had been enacted that if material was cut off after defeating them without killing them, they would let them escape. Even when the adventurers came hunting, they heard that it was only a beautifully trimmed material dragon and it was a broken bone.

Thanks to the adventurers at the time, they were incisive to sharpen their trimmer skills in order to maintain a clean appearance while sharpening a little more scales.

Looks like the number of dragons has recovered in modern times, so it's easy to hunt.

"It's a mythical dragon, but it's just a convenient material."

Because they actually called it the Material Dragon.

"That sounds like Lex, too. And the scales I cut off are sparkling and very pretty. It's like a chunk of gold."

For Megri, the golden dragon scale is more like a gem than a material.

"In fact, the golden dragon scale is made of gold."

"" "" "Fri!?" ""

I hear it's gold, everyone circles their eyes.

"Technically, it's not just gold, it's something like magic gold that can be a magical catalyst like Mithril."

"I mean, great money!

"Haha, that's the way it is"

◆

Because we dropped the Golden Dragon or the other dragons stopped attacking us, we immersed ourselves in the task of packing the previously defeated dragon in a magic bag.

"That's the last of it."

By the time I delivered the last of the dragon's carcasses into a magic bag, the sun was leaning quite a bit too.

"Well, it's getting dark and I guess I'll be home"

"Right. I've been fighting dragons for the rest of my life."

Mr. Liliera sighs when she is exhausted from her heart.

"Oh, we've really become dragon killers..."

To Mr. Liliera's words, Gyro groans in a way that you are now so excited and cold.

"Besides, my brother turns the legendary Golden Dragon into a brother-in-law, and he's amazing!

No, no, I'm not such a big opponent.

It's a Golden Dragon kid.

"Nevertheless, you've gathered some incredible dragon material."

Mina whines about it, looking at the magic bag with a frightened look on her face.

"Lots of treasures! It's gonna be a hell of a lot of money!

Indeed, Mr. Megli is right, even green dragon materials are traded for thousands of gold coins in this era for some reason.

You made me rich enough to buy a house, too, didn't you?

After all, I wonder what it is because the restrictions on hunting dragons that were conceived in the previous life were implemented.

Maybe saying that everyone sucks at dragons is also a spread convenience for the state to restrict hunting.

Then let's go home.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr......"

When we left, the Golden Dragon raised its voice.

And when he came before me, he put his head on the ground with Petan.

"Gwow."

"Maybe you'll give me a lift to town?

"Gru."

Apparently so.

Maybe it's a sappy thank you for taking care of the scales.

"Well, I'm not very tired, but everyone feels exhausted, so let's give it a ride."

"" "" "" Eh!? "" "

"No, no, no, no! I think that would be a mess, Mr. Rex!!"

"Oh, yeah, Lex! It's not safe to ride a dragon!

"It's okay, both of you. It's like a carriage."

"No, no, not the carriage. Absolutely not. The level of danger is different..."

You don't like carriages, Mr. Megli shakes his neck sideways with a bump as he sweats.

Oh, the dragon is flying, so you want to say it's hard in case it falls?

"It's okay, Mr. Megli. We can all use flying magic if we have to."

"Chi, no, that's not what I meant..."

"Wow! How dare you replace the legendary Golden Dragon with a carriage! That's my brother!!"

"You shut up, you idiot!

"Oops!?"

Wow, a sharp elbow blow from Mr. Mina slammed into your side of Gyro, who raised his voice excitedly.

You're a wizard, but you're making a good move.

Mr. Mina, the fight might be handsome too.

"So, erm... yes! Dragons! When dragons come to town, they'll all panic!

"Oh, yeah. The dragon just attacked me the other day, so if the Golden Dragon, the boss of the dragon, comes over there... uh, see, the kid might freak out and get hurt!

As good as it gets, that's Mr. Norb.

No matter how big a deal the Golden Dragon kids are, the little ones don't know that.

If a big creature suddenly shows up in front of you, you could fall trying to escape in a hurry.

You're just a monk trying to help a lot of people until you become an adventurer!

"Okay."

"Do you understand..."

"Well, could you drop me off near town?"

"" "" I don't know - whoa!! ""

"Look, guys, get on it. Moffmoff is already on board."

If you look at it, Moffmoff is already ready to ride over the head of the Golden Dragon. OK.

"No, look, we can use flying magic..."

"No, you can't. We haven't all flown through the night yet, have we?"

Yes, flying in the night sky is dangerous.

"The night sky is dark, so there's a risk of flying demons, tall trees, and mountain peaks."

"Really?

"Yes. That's why night flights are dangerous if you're not someone you're accustomed to with specialized training. Most importantly, the dark night sky is hard to distinguish between the ground and the sky, so it's dangerous to accidentally crash into the ground if you're speeding up."

That's what caused it. In previous life, a runaway flying magic group, commonly known as the Storm Sky Regiment, often clashed to the ground and was transported to doctors.

"It's a tight walk back to town from here, brother."

Gyro groans disgustingly when he sees the town where you look far away.

"It may indeed be hard to walk home after a streak against the Dragon..."

Megli, who doesn't seem to like riding the dragon, also moans when she sees her way home.

"So you should ask the Golden Dragon to take you near town."

"Uh-huh."

Liliera and Mina roar with wrinkles between their eyebrows.

"Uh, gentlemen, how about we take a break and get this place down some distance from town?

and that's where Mr. Norb comes up with a compromise.

"Well then..."

"If you don't know the distance we were on, Ali...?

Mr. Liliera and you managed to convince us that we were finally going home on the Golden Dragon.

◆

A glowing golden dragon runs through the completely dark night sky.

"Wow! Awesome! Tear away! Quick!

"Cuckoo!"

Gyro, when you scream in a way that excites you, Moffmoff, who is over the head of the Golden Dragon, is also in an upbeat mood to squeal.

"Gruwow!"

The Golden Dragon is also praised for his wings and sounds in an upbeat mood.

Then Bassa bassa and wings were feathered to increase the speed.

"Wow!? Will it still go faster?!?"

Even faster, Gyro will give you a surprise. [M]

"Cucumber!?"

"Guru."

When Moffmoff shouts his surprise, the Golden Dragon laughs niggardly for even more speed.

"Hey, are you okay with being so fast? It's dangerous to fly at night, isn't it?

"Oh, I'm fine. The Golden Dragon illuminates itself and illuminates its surroundings, making it convenient to fly through the night sky."

A golden dragon without a light.

"Even if they say the legendary dragon like a pine light..."

Well, in fact, even in previous life, dragons that could provide lights like red dragons in front of themselves were treasured as night rides, right?

"By the way, it's time for the town to get closer, and why don't you have it dropped off around here?

And since Liliera seems worried, I give the Golden Dragon instructions to land.

"Can you put me down around here?

"Gruvo!"

Raising the roar of the reply that the Golden Dragon figured it out, its body approaches the ground.

And then four legs touched the ground, but the body of the golden dragon slips forward, scraping the ground without stopping.

"Hey, is this okay!? I'm slipping something!?"

Yeah, this is due to you being on track and speeding too fast.

"Or town! Hit the town!!"

Mr. Mina points to the town ahead and screams in a hurry.

Sure, if you stay like this, you're gonna hit the fence that protects the town.

"It's OK, CHAIN AERIAL CUSHION!!"

When I created multiple vertical large air cushions forward, I drove the Golden Dragon into it.

The speed of the Golden Dragon is greatly reduced by jumping into the air cushion.

But it's not powerful enough to stop this giant, and the Golden Dragon will soon push through the cushion of the air.

But the Golden Dragon's body quickly hits the next cushion.

By hitting a cushion of moderately resistant air continuously, the Golden Dragon slowed down without blowing us up on our backs.

And the Golden Dragon succeeded in stopping the giant in front of the town's entrance.

"Yeah, you stopped in just the right position."

The Golden Dragon lays low and makes it easy for us to get down.

"Thanks for sending me"

When I say that and I stroke your head, the Golden Dragon roars with joy.

"Gruwow."

"Shall we go back to the inn?"

Away from the unfortunate golden dragon and head back to town.

And inside the town, visible from the gate, there was a figure of the townspeople stopping their movements as if time had stopped for some reason.

"Is that it, ladies and gentlemen?

It wasn't just the people in town, it was even solidified by the guards guarding outside the gate.

What is it? It's like eating it with the evil eye of basilisk petrification. It's solid.

"Uh, what's wrong, Mr. Guard?

……

But the guards don't answer this question at all.

Did you really get attacked by someone!?

Maybe something terrible happened while we were out of town!

"... go"

Hmm? Like I just heard a voice?

"Go, go, go..."

Oh, my grandfather at the back of the gate talked.

Good, it doesn't look like he's been attacked by someone and can't move anymore.

But if so, why aren't the people in town moving?

"Goal...... den...... golden, dragon jahhhhhhhhh!"

"" "" "" "Ugh, wow!" ""

As Grandpa said, the people of the town shout in unison.

"Uh, I knew this was happening."

"This is a tough excuse"

For some reason, Liliera and the others are squeaking in the back.

"We're all so excited, but are we happy because the golden material dragon has arrived?

Because if there is one material dragon, it is a fortune.

"" "" No, it's not!! ""

Huh? No?

"Riu, it's Dragon Emperor! Dragon Emperor is finally resurrected. Ahhhh!"

"" "" "" "Huh? How many soles?" "" "

Unexpectedly, the sudden words my grandfather uttered will silence us.

Uh, what? What do you mean, why is Dragon Emperor's name coming up?
