100 Episode 100: Princess Ryu and Apprentice

"Then that concludes the course for today."

"" "" Good job!! ""

At the end of the demolition course, the demonstrators bend their hips 90 degrees to say hello.

Until the adventurers I'm joining.

Everyone's been like this since I gave him a knife made of black dragon material, and it's kind of ticklish.

◆

"We're all quite used to dismantling the Green Dragon, and maybe it's time to dismantle the Black Dragon."

"Huh? Already?

Mr. Liliera picks up the whining I leaked on the way home.

"Originally the Black Dragon just has different strengths, because it's the same plain dragon as the Green Dragon. By repeatedly dismantling the green dragon, if you are not comfortable with the dragon material, you can dismantle it as a normal demonic material without any problems."

"That's what it is."

That's what it is.

"That being said, I doubt it."

And, Mr. Mina comes mixed up in the conversation.

"Lex's hunted dragon was also bought off by the Adventurer Alliance in Toguy town, wasn't it? How did you dismantle it?

Technically, it was the people who took part in the auction in Wang Du.

"Huh? Did that happen?

Oh, you hadn't met Mr. Liliera yet, had you?

"Yeah, they just happened to buy me the green dragon I ran into."

"It was a big fuss all over the guild then. The dragon killer showed up! What?"

"Oh, that was the fate encounter between me and my brother. I still remember you, brother!

Was it the first time we met? Or was that when you saved me from Evilbor?

Gyro speaks of your excitement then. [M]

"Heh, that happened. Well, Mr. Rex wouldn't be surprised at all, but at the time when you knew nothing, you'd all be quite surprised."

"Ouch! I'm surprised. I'm surprised! We'll hunt the dragons. Evilbore will be finished with a single blow. At the end of the day, I killed a demon!

"Uh, it's in my eyes."

You imagined the sight, Mr. Liliera laughs dry.

"Oh yes, the demolition of the dragon, but I think maybe an auction official from Wang Du came and dismantled it. There's a collection of rare materials out there, so we're talking about possessing some valuable magic items so we can deconstruct special materials."

Heh, I was even using such a valuable tool to dismantle the Green Dragon.

As a merchant, I guess I have a hot obsession with selling even a single piece of copper coin high.

Then I guess that auction venue has a lot of amazing magic items that I've never seen before.

I'd like to see it for once.

We walk through a town stained with dusk while we have that conversation.

"Nevertheless, the noise of examples has subsided in the last few days"

The example noise Mr. Norb refers to is the Princess Ryu riot that occurred when Mr. Liliera defeated the Green Dragon.

Speaking of which, I guess Princess Ryu ended up, huh?

"Ugh, enough of that story. Looks like the Alliance is distracting the demolishers from this demolition, and they're moving to keep us down, but it's better not to talk too much on the surface."

And, Mr. Liliera in the hood exhales.

Hi. Looks like if you still expose your face and walk outside, they'll call you Princess Ryu, and you can't get your hood off yet.

Looks like there are other female adventurers with spears, but when you become a female adventurer with spears from outside of town, the numbers seem to be squeezed.

So every once in a while I see a blonde spear woman adventurer being called Princess Ryu and surrounded by the people of town.

Yeah, you're making me feel good.

"In that sense, Mr. Rex was lucky. It was dim at dusk, so few people could clearly see Mr. Rex's face except for the gatekeeper who had a direct conversation. And then the golden dragon was shiny and dazzling."

Uh, it might have helped in that sense.

Should I be thankful for the Golden Dragon?

Shall I take something to plug you in next time?

"Let's eat some meshi sooner than that, brother! I'm starving."

And, Gyro, who can no longer stand hunger, speaks up for you to eat fast.

"Well, let's go into a nearby store."

And that was when we tried to get into an affordable store.

"Oh, that!

Someone came to us from behind.

Looking back wondering who it would be, there was a familiar figure there.

"Are you... Mr. Lune?

Yes, Mr. Lune, who was also on my demolition course.

You came running after me. Mr. Lune is absurd in his breath.

"Yes! Actually, there was something I wanted to talk to you about!

"Is that a story?

What the hell is that? Was there something you didn't know about the demolition of the dragon?

"Actually..."

When Mr. Lune correctly breathes, he stretches his spine to make a serious face.

"Make me... a disciple!! Please!

Yes, tell him. Mr. Lune bowed his head deeply.

Towards Mr. Liliera.

"... Huh? Me!?"

Looks like it, doesn't it?

"Please! I want to be strong like you, too!

"Huh? Oh, yeah?

Liliera said she wanted to be strong like you, and she would look less than full.

"Yes! I want to be strong like you called Princess Ryu's comeback!

"Huh?"

"" "" "Princess Ryu eh!?" "

The moment I heard Mr. Lune's words, the people of the town looked back in unison.

◆

"No, no, I was scared... no, really"

"Hi, I thought I'd be crushed by a wave of people..."

After that, we fled in a hurry, almost crushed by the people of the town who had pushed us towards Mr. Liliera.

Just leave Mr. Lune alone like that and she will be with me because it was visible that she would get hurt badly.

He magically disappeared and came back to the inn room.

Relieved recoil, or Mr. Norb and Mr. Megri are shaking their bodies remembering the sight they just had.

Yeah, you were more scared than a bunch of hectic demons.

"Um, sorry..."

Mr. Leune bows his head with words of apology, saying that the noise has been caused by his remarks.

"Oh no, never mind. More than that..."

I turn my gaze to Liliera and ask Lune a question.

"Why would you want to be an apprentice to Mr. Liliera?

Mr Lune said.

He wants to be an apprentice to Mr. Liliera.

"Yes! I want to be a disciple to that one who is strong enough to be called Princess Ryu's comeback!

"Hey... what's that dragon princess for?

Ask Mr. Liliera how sick and tired she is of what Mr. Lune said.

With that said, we don't know who the hell Princess Ryu is.

"Huh? Don't you know Princess Ryu?

I get a surprise look at Mr. Lune when he can't believe it.

"Yeah, I don't"

"So, but you are the successor to Dragon Emperor Liu Empty Sky Art, right?!?"

"Huh? No?

"Heh?... Yes, no, that can't be! That spear sweep is definitely my genre, the Dragon Emperor Stream Sky Sweep!

I strongly deny that Mr. Lune should not.

Or did you just say "my school"?

"Princess Dragon is the name of the last Dragon Knight in this country"

Oh, the explanation has begun.

"Once in this world humans and demons were in contention. They said that was no exception in this country. In Ninglou, we are told that the battle against demons was more intense than in other countries."

Uh, I do remember Dragonia being a war zone, even in the memory of my previous life.

"That's also because our country was a land of dragon knights fighting with dragons. Dragon knights can follow dragons by fighting dragons and showing their power. And the dragon knight in the dragon showed so much strength that he was called the knight in the knight who controlled the sky."

Well, the actual strength wasn't that special, but it looks good like a knight on a dragon or something. In that sense, the Dragon Knight was a popular profession among knights, the flower shape of the battlefield.

Dragons were endangered by demons, even more simply in the sense that a powerful being called a dragon would be on the side of humans.

Yeah, but it's not like the Dragon Knight was just a profession to look at. Compared to the knights of other countries who belonged to the same rank, they were strong there, and the upper dragon knights, starting with the king of dragon knights known as dragon emperors, fought so strong and glorious that it could be said that that was the knight among the knights.

Well, there were plenty of knights and professions in other countries who looked like buckets.

The Magic Knights of the Demonic Kingdom and the Demon Swordsmen of the Sword Empire.

"Princess Dragon was the most powerful dragon knight to unite such dragon knights, the spoiled princess of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, and you were an excellent dragon knight yourself"

Hmm, does that mean Princess Ryu was once in this country, the queen, or the sideroom?

A knight might mean a mistress frame.

"His Majesty the Dragon Emperor and Her Highness the Dragon Princess said they loved it deeply and were so amiable that they all envied it"

"It's kind of like a love story."

"But those two sweet days didn't last long either. The great army of demons has progressed to this country. The demons fight with the dragons against our country. They've led a mighty herd of demons."

Heh, there was a case like that after I died.

"The Dragon Knights went to battle with the Dragons. Of course, the same dragon knight, Princess Dragon, wanted to go to the battlefield together."

Unh-unh.

Not only me, but Liliera and Mina are listening to Mr. Lune.

"But His Majesty the Dragon Emperor did not allow Princess Dragon to go out on the battlefield together. Princess Ryu was angry that whoever could fight would head to the battlefield, whether that was a woman or not, why shouldn't she just leave? Whether you're called Princess Dragon, you're a knight. Then I asked His Majesty the Dragon Emperor that it was only natural to go to war for the people."

Yeah, Princess Ryu is right about this.

In the time we lived, those who had the power to fight demons, both men and women, were on the battlefield.

And people who were strong without gender or relationship were strong without distinction between men and women.

Hontounitsuyo kattayo.

What a continuation of Mr. Lune's story while I remember.

"That should be it too. As a matter of fact, Princess Ryu had a son in her belly."

Oh, sure, then we can't fight together.

If the dragon emperor in this story is the same as the dragon emperor I know, it means he was the king of Dragonia.

A princess with a king's son won't fight on the battlefield, will she?

No, it doesn't have to be the king's son. Is it bad for a pregnant woman to fight on the battlefield?

"And His Majesty the Dragon Emperor told Princess Dragon. Who of us Dragon Knights may not return from this battle? But with you, as long as you survive, the heir to Dragon Emperor Liu's Emperor Sky Art will not have to be lost. So please let the dragon emperor flow survive into the afterlife."

Hmm, asking Princess Ryu to do that meant that Emperor Ryu was convinced that we couldn't make it home alive in that battle.

I don't know how long it's been since I died in my last life, but I know very well that there has been a considerable war.

"That's how Princess Ryu stayed in the country and kept waiting for His Majesty the Dragon Emperor to return to battle. But at last, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor never returned, and Princess Dragon became the last Dragon Knight in this country."

When Mr. Lune finishes his conversation, the room quiets back with Sin.

They all look so emotional that something like that happened in this country once.

But does that make Tsujitsu no longer fit?

"... hey, if this is the right story, isn't there a dragon knight in this country who uses dragon emperor streams? Why are you talking to me about being an apprentice?

Yes, you're right.

Looks like we all had the same question, and yeah, I'm nodding to Mr. Liliera's words.

"Yes, that question is why I wanted you to be an apprentice."

When Ms. Lune corrected her posture, she looked Ms. Liliera straight in the eye and told her why.

"Actually, hundreds of years ago, there was an epidemic of poor quality in this country, and a lot of dragon knights died of the disease."

"With epidemic disease!?"

I don't think it's caused by illness, they're all a little bit.

"Yes, it seems that the survivors were still in the process of training and had not reached the point of excellence in the Dragon Emperor Stream Sky Art, and the Dragon Knights from that generation onwards will inherit the incomplete Dragon Emperor Stream, and their successors, weakened by it, were defeated in the battle against powerful demons and lost more skill... Finally, the Dragon Emperor Stream Sky Art moves left in my generation are less than half of the full season."

And the weakening that followed the weakening made it impossible to even beat the Green Dragon at last, and it continues to this day, Ms. Lune said.

"So please! Please tell me about the Dragon Emperor Stream that you have inherited!

Mr. Lune rubs his forehead against the floor and asks Mr. Liliera to come in.

"I don't care if they say..."

Mr. Liliera shrugs her shoulders wondering what's going on.

"I'm not the heir to the Dragon Emperor Stream, and I can defeat the Greek Blue Dragon. I can't teach people anything."

"Oh, still! Still stronger than me, aren't you?! What a green dragon I can't even defeat Wyburn!

No, I don't think that's what you're gonna say with your chest up.

I mean, isn't it bad that the Dragon Knight can't beat Wyburn either?

When I came to this town, they said Dragon Knight was a fairy tale, and how weakened are dragon knights in this era?

"And if your story is true, don't you mean royalty? You wouldn't allow a single adventurer around to teach a royal family something, would you?

Oh, speaking of which, you are.

The fact that Mr. Lune is descended from Princess Ryu means that she inherits the blood of the King, the Dragon Emperor.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about it there. Because epidemic diseases hundreds of years ago have wiped out people in my immediate line, and it's not something that I've found out how much blood is connected to my family, Princess Ryu. Your mother said there might be descendants of a disciple with no blood connection."

I don't know about that, do I?

Nevertheless, if many dragon knights died, starting with their successors, because of an epidemic disease, it is certainly likely that all that remains is an unconnected disciple of blood.

The children of the apprentice, who lived away from the main house where the heirs lived, were certainly the reason why they were able to escape the damage of the epidemic.

I wonder if it was normal for a high-ranking brother to live near his successor's mansion and for a disciple with no great arms to live away from the dojo.

"... but I still won't let you teach me anything. I'm still immature, too, and I'm in the middle of teaching moves from my master."

"Master...... is it?

And that's where Mr. Liliera smiles nasty.

"Yes, I have a master who taught me Dragon Emperor."

Oh, I have a bad feeling.

"Yes, are you there?!? An heir to Dragon Emperor Liu Kangju!?"

No. No, I'm not the heir.

But Mr. Liliera ignores my feelings and points this way.

"Yes, Mr. Rex here is the master who taught me Dragon Emperor Ryukyu!!"

"... eh eh eh!? This one is better!? But this one just did a demolition course or something!? I thought I was a squire to take care of the Dragon Knight!?"

I raise my surprise just because Mr. Lune says he can't believe it.

Um, I've never been mistaken for a squire.

"Didn't you hear what I said earlier about the dismantling? He said he was the best adventurer out there, the S-rank adventurer, right?

and Mr. Liliera points to you, Gyro.

Gyro-kun, don't smile at me for nothing.

"And I just thought you were a hiding place to hide your identity..."

"Well, it's still immature to lose measure of their strength. He's the real S-Rank Adventurer, our master, Mr. Rex!

Stop it, Mr. Liliera! Yeah, Gyro, because you guys don't have to kneel down at me pointlessly and bow your heads.

They're all too good at this time!

Yeah, even Mr. Norb already!

"Yeah, yeah... so this guy is the heir to the real Dragon Emperor Stream, but also the heir to the Dragon Emperor Stream other than me who is the descendant of Princess Dragon, I mean..."

Mr. Lune looks at me with a trembling look as if he had seen something impossible.

"Were you the rebirth of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor? - Huh!?"

"No, you don't"

It's not like that.

"Yeah, I don't know about the Dragon Emperor or anything, but my brother knocked down the Mecha Cha Dragon in that mountain!

Gyro, look in the direction you pointed, and Mr. Lune opens his eyes.

"No way, is it Dragon Peak!? So His Majesty the Dragon Emperor was followed by Dragon after the Dragon Choice Rite!?"

"I don't know, maybe I am!

Here, don't hammer me properly.

And I'm not a dragon emperor.

"Ha!? Then it is also about His Majesty the Dragon Emperor to say that someone was on the Golden Dragon that he came to town the other day!?"

"Oh, that's Mr. Rex."

Hey, Mr. Norb, don't tell me on your own!

"No, I thought that was gonna die. Overall, I thought I'd die every second of it."

"Yeah, I thought maybe a bunch of dragons, black dragons, Wyburn, and golden dragons would die somewhere rather than a little"

Is that it? Do they all have it in their roots? You do?

"But that's where my brother busted all the dragons! The Golden Dragon flew with my brother's one bread."

"That surprised me. The dragon giant danced the universe."

"Did you blow the Golden Dragon...? King of the strongest dragons...?

After listening to everyone, Mr. Lune wonders if he shook his body with a crocodile, and now he bows his head on his knees before me.

"Please, Dragon Emperor! Please give me the Dragon Emperor Emperor Sky Art!

So no.

"To join Princess Ryu's ritual!

Something strange has come up again!?

◆

"Is it true that the Dragon Emperor showed up?

I overheard reports of my compatriots watching Ryu Feng.

The appearance of the Dragon Emperor means that those abominable Dragon Knights will be resurrected again!?

"Oh, I hear the Golden Dragon got down into the crowd with a human on board"

"I can't believe it. I didn't know the Golden Dragon would put humans on it again. I thought all dragon knights were destroyed hundreds of years ago..."

Yes, all Dragon Knight's blood muscles should have been interrupted by that stream (...) row (...) ri (...) disease (...).

"Apparently, there was survival."

And to Xiao Xiao Xiao, he kept the existence of survival secret and prepared for us?

Maybe there was a shadow of the remnants of the Dragon Knight lurking behind the failures of our countrymen here these days.

But dragon knights are the ones who show their true worth with dragons around.

I don't think you can rely on dragons to fight us.

You mean you've got some new means of fighting us?

"What do we do?

My countrymen come anxiously for their opinions.

What do we do when fools are frightened of us?

"It's decided, we're going to destroy it. We can't just shut up and overlook humans and dragons joining hands again."

"But the Golden Dragon is a pain in the ass, isn't it?

Sure, the Golden Dragon's opponent, the king of dragons, is a little troublesome.

But fighting directly from the front is not the only battle.

"No problem. Let the demons you collect deal with you. We will end the Dragon Emperor in that gap. If the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Knight were gone, there would be no reason for the Dragon to lend a hand to both humans again."

Yes, as long as the dragon emperor is gone, the dragon knights and other UAE people.

Instead, now that he shows up, it's a good time!

"To succeed in our relapse, we will crush the element of uncertainty here!

Goddamn it, let me teach you something called true fear, you mortals!
