Lisette's point of view...


　Before leaving, Lisette and her friends launched arrows tied with yellow cloth.
　The demon has been defeated. This is a signal that they are safe.
　They didn't want to worry the villagers.

　And so Lisette and the others began to walk towards Hazama Village.

You want to know what's going on in this world, don't you, Shoma?
Yes. I want you to tell me as we walk.
Okay.

　Where should I start?
　I'm a little confused.

"Lysette lives in a country called Alicia on the continent of Fiza.
　And this Alicia is currently in chaos.

　Lysette said as she walked next to Shoma.
　The children listened earnestly without making fun of her. They all seemed to respect Shoma.

　Shoma is from another world.
　But he is very realistic.
　I'm glad that Lisette's knowledge can help him.

Alicia was founded by the Dragon Emperor. It has always been ruled by the Dragon Emperor's descendants. ...... In the last few decades, the Dragon Emperor's descendants - the wise men who support the current Emperor - have come to power. In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
What is this place we're in?
We are in Alicia's territory. The border area on the western edge of that territory is the autonomous region of Lysette and the other "subhumans".
"Subhumans"?
Ajin? - Ajin are people who look different from normal humans. This one of Lysette's is one of the features of a subhuman.

　Lysette then touched the horn behind her ear.
　There should be a horn there, like a crystal. I've rarely seen them myself.

It's a sign of dragon blood. This is a sign of dragon's blood. But it's just another cousin's descendant.
But those who have dragon's blood are also the descendants of the Dragon Emperor, right?　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.
...... The direct descendants of the Dragon Emperor have taken the form of a complete person.

　It is said that the Dragon Emperor also took the form of a perfect man.
　I'm sure you've heard of it.

"...... Did I ask you a bad question? Sorry.
No, don't worry about it.
...... And I've been wondering...

　Shoma is looking at you with his head tilted back.
　Here it comes. Lysette had been waiting for this question.
　She fixes her hair. I'll straighten up. Now, this is the moment of truth. Lisette.

"This 'Dragon Emperor'...
"The one who first unified this continent!

　I got it...!
　Why at such an important time!　Why at such an important time? And Shoma's question is still in progress!

"The Dragon Emperor is the first person to unite this continent.

　I'll rephrase.
　Ugh... I'm so embarrassed, I can't look at Shoma's face.

　Lysette kept her head down and continued her explanation.
　A few hundred years ago, this world was threatened by demons.
　There was a tyrant called the Kuro Flame Emperor who ruled the world with demons and used forbidden dark magic to gain power. The empire created by the Kuro Flame Emperor was destroyed by the Dragon Emperor, and for a time all demons were driven away.

　After the death of the Dragon Emperor, Alicia gradually deteriorated.
　In the beginning, the Dragon Emperor treated all races equally, including sub-humans, but after his death, discrimination began, and sub-humans were allowed autonomy only in remote corners.

In other words, the emperor lost his power, and his subordinates were in control, leading to a turbulent world. The emperor lost his power, and his subordinates got into trouble. It's common in countries with monarchies. ......
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I've seen something similar in my world. It's something.
...... is amazing.

　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.
　Lysette holds her chest.
　She can feel her heart beating fast.
　I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

"Shoma-sama.

　So Lisette whispers softly into Shoma's ear.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's had a bad experience.
"...... Yes.

　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.


　The expression on her face was strangely gentle, and Lisette pressed her chest again.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
Yes. The doors of the Dragon Emperor's Temple are sealed with magic and can only be opened by those who have dragon blood in their veins. And Shoma has dragon scales like Lisette. She can even use fire, which is stronger than Lisette's.

　In the forest.
　Lisette pauses.
　She looks straight at Shoma and then bows her head.

Lysette thinks that Shoma is the heir to the Dragon Emperor. So can you and Lysette help the current emperor to quell the chaos on the continent?
"...... Sorry. I think it will be difficult.

　Peco.
　...... Huh?
　Shoma is bowing to you. Why?
　It's Lysette who's asking for it.

"Why, ......, Shoma-sama?
The first reason is that I was summoned to this world by mistake. My skills are probably weaker than other summoners. So I don't think I can do anything too big.

　Shoma-san held up a finger and explained.

Reason number two, I'll be sent back to my world after the turbulent times are over. Even if I save the current emperor, there will be chaos again when that person is gone. It's like throwing your job away. It'll only make things worse for Lisette and the others who are left. I can't be that irresponsible.
"...... Master Shoma.

　Lysette bit her lip involuntarily.
　You are right.
　I'm ashamed of myself for getting carried away.
　I'm ashamed that I got carried away. You have your own reasons.

　Lisette has always felt responsible.
　She was supposed to have dragon blood like the Dragon Emperor, but she hadn't been able to do anything about it.
　Protecting the village by herself is all she can do. I can't even help the Dragon Emperor's descendants who are being manipulated by his evil aides. And then Shoma appears and ...... eradicates the Kuro Goblin with a single blow. ...... You must have been so excited... ....

I'm sorry, ....... Shoma-sama. I'm sorry for being so reckless.
It's okay if it's only while you're in this world.

　............ What?
　What did you just say, Mr. Shoma?

I don't really know what's going on in this world.

　I don't know anything about this world.

But I want to protect my place in the world. But I want to protect my place. I want to repay Lizetto for all the help she's given me while I'm in this world. So if Lisette wants to protect the village, I'll help her do it. I don't know ...... what the emperor is about, though.
"...... Shoma, sir.
If Lysette really wants to save the emperor and quell the rebellion, I'll help her. ...... If you're afraid of fighting, you shouldn't push yourself too hard. ......
Shoma-sama.
Hmm?
How much did you hear about Lysette in the Dragon Emperor's Temple?
".............

　Shoma-sama turned his head to the side.
　I don't know, maybe. I'm sure you've heard everything Lysette had to say in front of the Dragon Emperor's Temple. Is that why she came to help us during the battle with the black goblin?
　Maybe that's why he came to her aid during the battle with the black goblin, for Lisette, who is really a weakling and afraid of fighting.

...... But ...... you can't go soft on Shoma-sama.

　You can't force your mission on Shoma, no matter how many times he opens the Dragon Emperor's Temple.
　I'm not sure what to make of it.

　What Lysette can do is to help Shoma to live in peace in this world. Also, the first thing you should do is to save Hazama Village from the threat of demons.
　If you can't save one village, how can you save the whole world?
　And if we are to save the village, we must first save the people.
　Then, making sure that Shoma can live is the first step.

"Sir, Shoma.

　So Lisette said.

"Would you like to be a part of my family, if you don't mind?

　With a small wish.
　The most obvious way for you to fit into the village, Mr. Shoma.
