9 Episode 9 "Dragons, Demons, and The King's Powers ...




 I was taken to a house in the middle of the village.
 It was a one-story house made of stone, and when I entered, there was a fireplace by the wall.

 In the middle of the room was a table and chairs. There are flowers on the wall, just like a girl's house. The goddess said that the level of civilization in this world is low, but the furniture and the construction of the house are quite solid.

"Shoma-sama's room is this way.

 Lysette took me by the hand and led me to the innermost room.
 It was a large room with a window, a wooden floor, and a small bed.

"──── huh?

 The moment you enter the room, Lisette picks up the white stuff lying on the bed with a quick movement befitting a dragon's blood. She also took a few cloth-like items from the floor and hid them behind her back. I couldn't see them because I was moving so fast, but I think they were underwear.
 I mean, isn't this Lisette's bedroom?

Are you sure you want to use this place?
"Of course. I'm rather intimidated by such a small room. ......

 That's what I'm saying.
 I didn't think I'd be living in ...... Lysette's house. And it seems that Lysette lives alone.

It would be sufficient if you could rent a vacant house or even a storage room. ......
That's not going to happen!

 Lysette clenched her fists.

I can't be that rude to you, Shoma. I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand. But right now, all the men in the ...... village are out, so I can't even introduce you to everyone. ...... I'm sorry.
"All the men in the village are out. ......?

 I wonder if ...... is okay .
 In such a situation, if a stranger from Alaska stays at a girl's house...

By the way, what's the village chief like?
"I'm Haruka.
Is that right?
Yes. Haruka's father passed away a few years ago and she has taken over his position. But until she comes of age, she is only the village chief in name, and the adults around her help her with the actual work.

 I guess Lisette and Haruka are both important people in this town.
 I'm not sure what to make of it.
 I'm not sure if I'm a good person or a bad person. ...... I feel like I'm a suspicious person approaching a noble person.

I'm not sure what to do. I'm sure you'll be fine.
Yes, .......

 I know I should be helping you to learn more about this world, but...

...... I'll take your word for it.

 Honestly, I'm too tired.
 I just want to close my eyes and go to sleep.

Take your time then. Shoma-sama.

 Then Lisette left the room.
 After the wooden door closed, I lay down on the bed. I can't even keep my body upright.
 Too much has happened. .......

 Summoned to another world.
 It was a mistake.
 Being left in the woods.
 Getting the skills. The "King's Vessel" and the "Dragon Seed Awakening".
Skills acquired in the Dragon Emperor's Temple. Naming Breath and Dragon Veins.
 Battle against demons.
 The "Demon Awakening" skill you acquired after meeting the children of the demon tribe.

I'm not sure how to use it now.
 So I don't know how to use them now.

I'm not sure how to use them now. This one comes naturally from within me.
 I know how to use it, just by feel. The dragon's scales, the dragon's roar, and the dragon's breath all had effects that matched the image.
The same goes for Demon Awakening. I haven't used it yet, but I can guess what it does.

 And the King's Vessel, which I had from the beginning.
 The interpreting ability of this is derived from the fact that a king must listen to the words of all his people. The storage capacity is a literal treasure house.

I understand demons and dragons, and ...... kings are no stranger to having them.

 But I don't understand "additional naming attributes" and "dragon veins" at all.
 What's the difference?
 I wonder if there are any hints in the Goddess's letter. .......
 I took out the Goddess's letter from the King's Vessel.

I can't sleep with this on my mind. ......

 I opened the letter and began to read. I go back and forth from the beginning to the end.
 It contains an apology from the goddess and information about the summoning.
 That she has rejuvenated my physical and mental strength.
 A promise to return me to my world when the turmoil is over.


 And the "Question Space" at the end of the letter. This can only be used once.

"I'll just have to ask .......

 The only way to survive in this world is to rely on your skills.
 If you don't know what they are and how long you can use them, you can't feel safe. It's not impossible that you're working with a skill and it suddenly becomes useless. You can't say that this won't happen.

And why did ...... the goddess misspell my name?

 The letter is addressed to "Kiryuu Shoma".
 But my name is 'Kiryu Shoma'.
 Even for a careless goddess, it is unnatural for her to make such a mistake. Where did you come up with "Ou"?
Kiryuu" and "Ou" make "Kiryuuou". .......

There's something wrong with that.

 My skills are "Demon Awakening", "Dragon Awakening" and "King's Vessel".
 If you put the initials together, you get "Oni, Ryu, Ou"... "Kiryuu".
 My name is Kiryuu... or just Kiryuu.
 It's a match.

"What?

 It was as if a piece of the puzzle fell into place in my head.
 I remembered the anger I felt when I was fighting the Kuro Goblin Lord earlier. He said, "That's just the way the world is," and I was really pissed off. Because I've heard that same line before.

 When was the last time?
 Was it when he gave me a crazy job? No... no. Much earlier.
 There was a time when you wondered why the world was so unreasonable.

 When was the last time?
 Remember. There was a time when I was called "Kirou Shoma." ......
 No, that's what you called yourself once.
 That was a long time ago. Ten years ago, ...... even longer ago.

 When my family died and my grandfather took me in...

"...... reminds me.

 When I was still in junior high school.
 I was still in middle school when someone told me at a family funeral. I don't remember who said it to me, but I do remember that someone said it to me when I was crying, and I got really angry about it.

 I heard it and I screamed.

 I said, "This is not the way the world works.
 I'm gonna fight the world.
 There must be enemies in this world.
 Even if no one can find them, I know they exist!



 From today, Kiryu Shoma will awaken and become the Demon Dragon King Shoma!

 Behold, the power of the supreme king of deformity, the Demon Dragon King Shouma...



"Ahhhh!

 I remember.
 I remembered (・・・・・) and I remembered (・・・・).

I'm not sure if you've seen this before.

 That's the real name I used to have when I had chuunibyou.
