"...What?　........what?
　It was truly overwhelming in its majesty.

　Its total length (from head to tail tip) was 20 meters.
　Its total height (from the bottom of its feet to the top of its head) was 12 meters.

　Its body was supported by two strong legs, as thick as a 1,000-year-old tree, and its arms were larger than a sake barrel.
　Its arms, larger than a cask of wine, were so large that an adult could not even hold it in his hands.

　Its jaws are lined with fangs the size of a human palm, and it has a ferocious jaw gate (agito).
　It even has four horns on its head.

　On its back were large wings, which, folded up, looked like multiple layers of armored plates covering its back.
　In addition, its entire body was covered in black scales that had a metallic sheen to them.

　The jet-black behemoth, which looks like a dinosaur with wings, is

Dragon?

　They were the very dragons in Western mythology that many people would have imagined--!




　The jet-black dragon lets out an ear-splitting roar.
　The atmosphere is vibrating to the point where you can feel it not only in your eardrums, but also in your chattering skin--!

It's so loud!
　Maybe it was because I got a decent roar at close range, or maybe it was because I got a decent roar at point-blank range, but despite the fact that the strongest S-class cheat, the Sword Saint, was activated, I almost felt my body sag for a moment.

　Although I managed to regain my composure, for the first time since I came to another world.
You've got to be kidding me.

　The word "fear" flashed through my mind.
　That's how bad this thing is--!

　The perception system S-class cheat 'Dragon Eye', which was automatically activated when it sensed the danger, begins to sound an intense alert.
　--Rank analysis impossible, hurry up and run, run away immediately.
　That's how many warnings it sends out over and over again in succession.

''No, you can't escape, in this situation--''
　Even if you're told to run away, there's a crowd of over 10,000 people around the stage.
　If they don't, they'll panic and generalize, and that alone would be a disaster - and then it would be a disaster!

'Huh-ha-ha-ha-ha!　I didn't think they'd actually contain a dragon...!　It was well worth it to empty six treasure chests to get it!

　A loud laugh from the frontier count resounded in the square, where people were screaming at the sudden appearance of the dragon.

''Hey, mate, this is not the time to be talking like that!　There are so many people in the middle of this place, and you start screaming like this...

　First we have to do something about the crowd in the middle of the chaos.
　Let's talk about that--!

"Charismatic S-Class Cheat 'Evacuation Order' in effect...
　I sucked in as much air as I could into my lungs.

Calm down!
　It was unleashed all at once, along with a loud voice shaken from the depths of his stomach.　

　That loud voice (daionjo), which was no less than a dragon's roar, but with a clear intention of control by cheat, instantly quieted the crowd that was in a state of panic.

''--Okay!
　That's a charismatic S-class cheat that works on the crowd's mind.

'Running makes you a chess player!　You know what?　All of you, never in a hurry!　Walk away from this place!

　The crowd, having regained their composure after my "evacuation order", began to leave the square in an orderly line just as I said.

　Ok, first of all, the most important thing is to solve the problem.
　This should prevent unnecessary damage from being created in the event of an evacuation--!

'Gunma-san, please leave this place at once. I'll be fine.
Okay, I understand.

　I'm going to use the aftermath of the "evacuation order" to ask Gunma to leave this place without saying a word.

The fact that you have the ability to lead your people with a single voice is a blessing. You really are an abominable little boy, aren't you?

　The frontiersman glares at me with a hateful stare.
　But...

"What the hell kind of shit are you talking about?　You and this lord, if you panicked, you could have killed dozens or hundreds of people with that one thing.　That's insane!

You see what I'm saying is that commoners are just bamboo shoots after the rain. What's the harm in having a few less of them?　There'll be plenty more coming up later.
　Hmph, the frontier count snickered.

''Are you serious...?''
This is the quality of a king. "This is the quality of a king." "This is the quality of a king," he said, "to see things from the perspective of a nation, not an individual, and to judge them from a higher dimension.

"I don't need to know this shit!　This is not the way a king should do things...!
　People's lives, their thoughts, what the hell does this guy think he's doing!

I'm done with this nonsense. Die regretting that you were so clever as to challenge Efren Moreno Navarrozario, the count of the frontier...

　Suddenly....
　A fierce fighting spirit rose from the side, and then a dazzling flash of light flashed!
