--Things always come out of nowhere.


　It was then, as always, lingering with Reffi in the True Throne Room.

"----!

　Suddenly, Reffi stood up, facing the door to the outside.

"Huh? What's wrong--

　I was just about to ask Reffi, who was sitting across from me - the map opens by itself.

　--There's an intruder.

　I immediately check the map to see if there are any enemy details.

　The point of entry is the sky above .......

This guy ......!

...... I think I know this person.

　I'm sure you're not going to be able to get away with it," he said as he turned toward the door.

...... Apparently so.

　As I glanced in her direction, I saw Lefi with a grim expression on her face, just like me.

　It's not the kind of look you would give a mere acquaintance.

　...... I see. I guess I'm not a very good friend of yours.

...... and wait a moment. I don't know what he wants, but he's probably here to talk to me. I'll come find out what happened.

　Leffi was just about to walk out, but I stopped her by grabbing her shoulders.

"Wait. I'll come with you.

Don't do it. He's basically a dumbass. He'll try to pick a fight with me, and that's what will happen.

Then all the more so. I can't let you go to a place like that by yourself.

　Leffi has this look on his face. I'm sure he's very troublesome.

　If anything should happen, Leffi is still far more powerful than I am ...... but that doesn't mean we can just sit around and wait for her to do everything for us.

　It's the best way to go about it.

　Then I'll have to protect it.

"Nonsense, I am a dragon. There is nothing for you to worry about,

"...... Still, it's

　It's ...... mean. The Man.

　I know that Leffi is strong enough to say that she has no enemies in this world.

　But I still don't want to put one of them in danger.

　There's a chance that I'll only be a hindrance ...... but it's not the time to make that decision.

　They are still and look at each other.

　Eventually, when I didn't seem to break, Leffi chuckled and opened her mouth.

...... . You didn't have a choice. Then you'll guard me. I'm counting on you.

Of course. I'll take care of it, partner.

　I cowered my shoulders, and Leffi gave me a small smile.


　　　.


　After asking En to return to the weapon body and telling the dungeon dwellers to not come outside today until me and Leffi returned, we were out of the cave and out in the open.

　I'm already carrying a flame of sin on my shoulder. You can see that she is somewhat more nervous than usual, as if she can feel my nervousness.
　The magic dagger and dagger are equipped on my back hip, and a pouch around my thigh contains a potion that can be easily removed.

　This is full equipment for when I'm out in the open for battle.
　I don't put potions outside in the item box because when I fought the d*mn beast, the manticore, I didn't have time to open the item box. That's a reminder.

　Eventually, we came outside and saw a dragon floating in the sky in the distance.

　When it noticed us coming out of the cave, it swooped down from the sky and stayed in front of us.

　Kuro scales covered its entire body.
　The overall length of this thing is slightly larger than the dragon form of Lefi we saw before, and the overall impression is more rugged and bony than the streamlined form of Lefi.


　Name: Girodio-Guoggia
　Race: Kuro Dragon
　Class: Dragon King
　Level: 402
　Title: Usurper, King of the Dragon Tribe


　The intruder that Reffi had sensed and seen on my map was this dragon.

　Sweat runs down your cheeks at its presence.

　This guy also seems to be deliberately showing his status to others. Even though the level difference should be invisible to me right now, some information is visible to me with my analysis skills.

　It's still less than half the level compared to Lephi ...... but for me, there's an impossible difference in ability.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this.
　Even if she went all out in battle, it would still be possible to keep releasing magic for three days and three nights.

''Huh, I finally found you, High Dragon Lephios. Why are you imitating such a man?

　The dragon looked down at me with a very annoying look, as if it was looking down on everything around it, and said that while snickering at Reffi.

　The expression on his face made me feel a little impatient, but my insides went cold.

　--Oh, no.

　I'll never be able to get along with this guy.



What do you want, Gygurga. I don't have time to deal with a little boy like you.

　The tone of voice is much harsher than usual, and a glaring expression appears on your face.

"Ha, I'll tell you that. The only person who can call me a boy now is you.

"...... why you are on the throne of the Dragon King? What's up with the Bellum?

　Leffi must have also taken a peek at the status of the black dragon.

　I'm sure he took ...... from the title of usurper as far as the title is concerned.

I would have killed that old geezer myself. That's why I'm the Dragon King. The men in the dragon village now all follow me.

You are the one who killed Bellum, right?

　With a puzzled look on her face, Reffi said.

　I'm sure that this Bellum was originally the king of the dragons, from the way she said it.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

I'm not going to be able to say anything about it. Now I'm the king! I, whom you call a boy!

"Hm, I have a pain in one side. What's wrong with the old dragons? I don't think they would follow people like you, do you?

The old men are old men who were born as dragons but lost their ambition. That's why I've driven them all out of the village. Now I'm going to take over the world with my men! Hence, I came to ask you out!

"...... what?

　You can find a number of different types of shoes and boots in the market.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them. You and I would have no trouble ruling this world! Be my partner and join me in conquering the world!

　--I had been sitting quietly next to Reffi, but finally I couldn't keep quiet.



"Shut up, man.



"...... What are you?

　Finally, the black dragon turns its gaze towards me for the first time.

''If you've been listening to me for a while now, I've heard you blabbering. It's weird to hear you talk like that. What's that? Are you a self-loving girl, man?

　It's not used to being agitated, or maybe not used to being agitated, but the expression of the black dragon's face twitches at my words.

"And you know what? You can take the world or whatever you want. But you can do whatever you want. Don't involve others in your affairs. Didn't someone teach you not to bother people?

"You're not fooling me, worm!

　You'll be able to see a mocking expression on his face as he bares his teeth and barks.

It's not a taunt. I'm just speaking common sense to a jerk who doesn't know anything. Can't you understand that? Do you think you're a fine liar and your head is a brat? Ha, that's not funny.

　At my words, Leffi next to me continued.

"That's not why I'm here. Sorry, kid. I'm not interested in taking over the world and I have no intention of being your partner. Go back to your village and whore around with your girl.

"............, I see. I get it. You're imitating people because of the bugs in there.

Well, of course. That's my partner.

"I see, I see. ......


　--a full-body, intense, crisis.


"ugh. ----!

　The attack was only visible for a moment.

　The moment I thought the black dragon had moved, it was already in front of me.

　The defense was in time, almost like a maglev.

　Following my brain's strong survival instincts, I immediately held the flame of sin in front of me, the blade was hit by an impact that made me feel as if I had been struck by a blasting F1 race car, and my body was blown off in the air.

　A dizzying array of vision.

　I was a few dozen meters into the air when recognition finally caught up with me and brought me to a halt with my wings and air control.

　My defensive arm aches and pains.

"Ho, let's prevent that one.

　It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of it.

It's a good idea to have a good time. You!

"Hm, your reaction was not up to par, Lephios. It looks like your physical abilities have deteriorated a lot since you've taken human form. I'm going to be able to see the bottom of the legendary high dragon's strength.

"All right, kid! If you say so, you have an extra life expectancy here--

　Yes, Reffi was about to respond to the challenge of the black dragon, but I was the one who stopped her.

"--Don't do it, Leffi.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time with us.

You're not going to be able to get your hands on it.

"I'm fine with that. --Rephi. I'll take care of this one (・・・・). You shut up and watch.

　Then I held the flame of sin to the black dragon.

"En, are you alright?

"...... All right. Are you okay with the Lord?



Oh. I'm your master. You're in good hands.

　A being who is a daughter says she's okay.

　Then of course that parent would not mind if her arm or leg was blown off.

You think I'm just a bug? I just happened to block an attack once, and I was in a good mood.

"Shut up, a**h*le. I ain't talking to you.

...... is infuriating to no end!

　Ignoring the pissed-off looking dragon, I continue to speak to Leffi.

"Refi, you stay right there. I'm going to protect you, aren't I?

............ that's right. Then protect me. Do not fall into the wrong hands with these people.

　So saying, Reffi strolled to the edge with her stalwart and sat there hunched over and crossed her arms.
　It's probably her way of saying she won't touch you.

　She really is a ...... good woman.

　I grinned and then turned to face the d*mn dragon.

　...... There is an overwhelming difference in strength between this guy and me that cannot be reversed. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

　You can see the difference in power between this man and I.

　I'd have a better chance of winning if I had one percent.


　But - that doesn't matter (・・・・・・・・・・).


　The d*mn dragon said. It's my turn to talk to Leffi.

　Then it's ...... not Leffi, and I have to take her down.

　No matter what, that's the only thing I've got to do.

　That's because she's a clear enemy to me.

Stay strong, d*mn dragon. I'm strong now.

"d*mn you, you bug! Let's see how long you can keep banging on that worn out mouth of yours!


　--And so I ended up killing each other against the strongest race in the world.
