"Hmm?　Uh-huh?

　I stopped moving in front of the words engraved on the dragon's history.

"Kaka!　Yuki-Mao, how proud you are of being a demon king yourself! You call yourself the Demon King Yuki-Mao from now on?

　You will find that you will be able to get a great deal more than just a few of them.

"No, no, I like the name Demon King, but I don't mean to ......, hey, Rhodanus, can't you do something about this?

"There's nothing we can do about it now that it's engraved there.

　Yeah, ...... for real.
　No, I mean, I knew it was coming, but...

It's a good idea, isn't it?　It would be more dignified to have a family name. All right, from now on I will be known as Lephios Maou.

I'd like to come up with something better than that, but ...... you're not a demon king.

But she is the daughter-in-law of your Lord, the Demon King. Hmm, Leficios Maou: ...... a pretty good one.

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

It's a good thing that you can't get away with it. It's good.

　And although anthropomorphic, En, who had been quietly holding hands with us up to this point, also muttered with a look of satisfaction.

　...... I'm not sure why you're feeling so enthusiastic about it. 　

　It's a good idea to have the last name in your previous life - no ...... it doesn't matter what your last name is anymore.

　It's "Yuki".
　No more, no less.

Hmm ...... your example has happened once before. Perhaps it's the same phenomenon.

　You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

." "Huh?　Does that mean they carved a different name on you without permission?

Let's take a look around the middle of the dragon's history. Let's look around the middle of the dragon's history. Here, here.

　He pointed with his thick paws and slid his gaze to the destination.

"Let's see, ......, the name of the three verses. "Laren-Fergada-Humano," right?

"Hmm. This Dragon King is also a human species like you - the human Dragon King (・・・・・).

Huh, human.

　Among human species, a human ever became a dragon king?
　That's ...... amazing.

Laren-Fergada-Humano, the 67th Dragon King. HUMANO was the ancient name for man. It is said that long ago this man had a soul with a dragon and fought his way through a war-torn world and eventually became the Dragon King.

...... I too have heard of it in the old stories of the old bones. The oldest king of mankind, ・・・・.

"The oldest king ......

　Leffy nodded and continued with her own words as she also remembered.

"I heard that humans were a much weaker and more oppressed species than other races back then. The magic was so dense and the monsters were so strong that humans were on the verge of extinction because they were less able to adapt to magic than other species.

　...... It's not too hard to understand.

　I've heard that humans are now boasting of their superiority over other races and are still waging war against demons and beastmen in some places.
　I've heard that they have many interactions with sub-humans, but even so, skirmishes are constant.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of it.

　The subhuman race has an abundance of magical power and a strong body.
　The beastmen who have the characteristics of animals and high physical ability.
　The demon race has such a wide variety of abilities that it is impossible to list their characteristics.

　Compared to other human species, humans are neither particularly strong physically nor rich in magic and have only inferior physical abilities.

　There are exceptions such as Nell.
　But they are the exception.

　In ancient times, when we would have had less technology and fewer absolute numbers as a species, the difference in physical ability would have been more pronounced.

　...... Maybe that's why humans have been fighting long, long wars with other species for so long.

But man did not perish. A man united his people with wisdom and fought threats with warfare to build a land of peace. At his side was a dragon that lived with him. Just like you are now.

　...... Maybe she is also a reincarnated person or something.

　I'm not sure if the same kind of reincarnation is possible, as long as there is a person from another world named me.
　I don't know if those reincarnated people are from earth or not.

　Perhaps the distance between the worlds is not so far.
　There was even a word about gods' disappearance in a previous life. It's not inconceivable that some of the missing people on earth have flown to other worlds.

I know that there was such an amazing human being, but what does this have to do with my history with dragons?

In the long history of dragons, there are only two instances in which a non-dragon has been appointed to the position of Dragon King. Originally, the history of dragons was created for dragons. So when the names of other races were inscribed, the names of those who belonged to them were also inscribed so that their achievements would be recorded. We don't know much about it, since it was created a long time ago.

...... I see. So it's more of a tribe name than a family name?

I don't mind using it as a family name. ...... I mean, it's a bit late for that, but you can also read dragon. Is this due to your language translation skills?



"Hmmm, yeah, ...... maybe so.

　It's true that I could read the Dragon tribe's letters as a matter of course.

　I've never paid much attention to it until now, but I've had the unique skill of "language translation" since my reincarnation at .......
　I'm sure it would have been very difficult for me to do without it.

　The first time I encountered Lephi, if I didn't have this skill, I would have been routinely beaten to death.

It's important to be able to understand the language: ...... I'm truly glad to be able to talk to you like this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to whisper my love to you!

"Hey, what's the rush!　Don't do it, don't talk like that out there.

So you're sure you want to do it at home?　Yes!

"............

　A slightly flushed Reffi, perhaps out of embarrassment, wordlessly tapped me on the shoulder with a thump. Cute.

...... Lord. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

"Huh?　Oh, yeah, it's fine. Then En will look like a demon king, huh?

"....... I'm cool, so from today, En will become the Demon King too. Together with the Lord, we will be the Demon King.

Hmmm, okay. Then we'll play demon king together.

"......

　You can't help but wonder what it's like to be a demon king together, but since En looks very happy, I'll say it's a good thing.

"I'm sure you guys are really good friends.

　Laudanus laughed with amusement at us.


　　　* * * *


　--After leaving the forbidden area, a large space in the village square.

"Hohoho ...... this human species is the new Dragon King.

"That's the Demon King. You can't live long enough.

I agree. I think I've seen the world in my own way, but this is also something that is rare.

　Many dragons stare at me curiously, staring at me intently.
　Some are looking at you from close by, while others are watching you from afar.

　As you look at them, you can see that there is a lot of difference between the dragons.

　A young dragon or an old one?
　A male or a female?

　The coloration of the scales, the size of the body, the length of the tusks, the shape of the horns, and so on are all reasonably discernible.

　......, but as I said, Lephi is the most beautiful dragon I've ever seen.
　You'll be able to feel the divine from the dragon form, but you won't feel that from the dragons here.

　I can feel their overwhelming strength, but.

"Well, I'm the 132nd Dragon King, Yuki. It's nice to meet you.

　I greet them with a slightly cramped smile at the strength of the pressure they exert.

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, New Dragon King. --It's a new era.

"If Reficios is a lepidopter, will the New Dragon King be safe for thousands of years?

"A new hero is born. It's interesting.

　The dragons who say such things.

"Heroic. I'm not even close to being as strong as you guys are, but ......

"No, no, I'm a hero just by riding this lilting horse called Reficios. You can't go against this high dragon.

"Well, one day, such as when Lephios rioted, the village was destroyed.

"Hey, guys, you say a few words and we'll burn you all to ashes.

　When you are in a bad mood, the young people inside the dragon probably shrug their shoulders as they sniffle, while the old people giggle with amusement.

Oh, scary, scary. You can't let this guy rampage you again, this time your village will fall apart!

Kukaka, in my long life I've never been so wounded before. She was such a tomboy.

All right Yuki, we're done here, let's just go home. I'd rather go back to the dungeon than deal with these a**h*les any longer.

　It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

It is a good idea to have a good time with your friends. You are going to be able to find out if you are going to be able to make a good impression.

Well, yeah. I'd like to hear more about it. Leffy's past.

....... I'd like to hear what your sister has to say.

　When I and En said together, my wife opened her mouth, still in a bad mood.

I'm not going to be able to get rid of it. ...... But I won't stay long!
