----Kouki Arakawa Viewpoint

　When I returned to Noah Island with Victoria, I received a big fist bump from Macho for escaping from the island without permission and invading the Demon King's territory. As I was squatting down while holding my head, I was ordered to enter the brig for three days as punishment for this incident, but considering the results of my negotiations with Victoria, I was only given one day's house arrest.
　 This guy is only about 40 centimeters tall and yet he seems unconcerned about taking a bite out of a melon with its skin.

"Kong?

　Noticing me staring at myself, Con writes the words on a piece of paper and shows it to me.

'I won't give it to you?'

No!

　There's no such thing as a piece of your food. I'm not, what I'm concerned about is how you can eat something as massive as you are and be okay with it, that's crazy!　That melon is as big as your torso.

Hey, Con, where's all the food you ate?

When you eat it, it is immediately converted into magical power and absorbed. That's why I don't defecate.

　Kon, who can now write with his tail without using his hands, explains while eating a melon. In other words, the more food he eats, the more magic power he gains, and if he keeps feeding himself, he can increase his magic power indefinitely, which means he can collect as much "gold" and "jewelry" as he wants.
　Can't I ask my mother to distribute them through a secret channel?　If this works, my allowance may increase.

''You look like you're thinking about something bad, but even I have a full stomach, so 'infinite magic' is impossible.

　Kon is writing letters while looking at me with a sideways glance.

I'm not thinking about that. I'm not thinking about that, lizard boy!

'Con!　Con!　Gru.....

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. You can't even fly and breathe fire, so what's the point of being a dragon, you can't show your dignity like Victoria or wear cold air like a maid of the ice spirit tribe.
　When he heard my words, he put down the melon he was holding carefully and wrote some words with his tail flapping on the floor in anger.

I'm sure the king was clearly frightened when I barked at him, right?　That's because I'm the superior species.　Okay?　I'm a dragon, but I'm not a dragon race, I'm a god race Ancient Dragon. In fact, an ordinary black dragon or dimensional dragon class would not be able to smelt precious metals without an equivalent exchange!

　It's an absolute lie. Ancient dragons were supposed to be the smartest race, there's no way a Kon who can only write but can't speak could be such a high species.

I'm sure you're not the only one who can't speak," he said, "so why can't you speak? I'm not going to be the only one who can do that.

　At the moment I said this, Con began to pee his tail and wings, which had been standing up uncharacteristically, and began to write the words.

'When I was born........your mother had already perished. There were no other people of the same species around, and as a young dragon, I went into a long dormant state to protect myself from the enemies around me.
　I thought that in order to come back from this state of dormancy, it would require an enormous amount of magical power, and I had hoped that my friends would find me someday and pour their magical power into me. But in reality, I was picked up by the master and woke up in another world.

　That's right, I forgot to mention that I didn't know it was dormant, and I brought Con to Earth, a different world. In a world where there is no magic, of course there is no creature that can teach Kon magic, and there is no creature that can understand the language of dragons, so Kon had to learn to write on his own.
　Once again, it's all my fault, isn't it? As I'm crunching my mouth as I lose the words to say to Kon, he writes more letters to show me.

''I don't regret it, Master, Mother, Alice, and everyone else will raise you kindly. So it's fine as it is, it's fine as it is!　But don't forget that I'm a great dragon.'

　After I finished writing, Con started to take a melon bite again, and he seemed to have regained his earlier energy. Somewhat embarrassed, I said 'thank you' in a voice just in time for Con to hear me, and the great dragon in front of me replied with a fluffy tail.




　Since I was under house arrest, I was going to spend the day without touching my device or the books I was bringing in, but I didn't expect time to go so slowly if I didn't have anything to do. I had too much free time on my hands, so I laid down on my bed and was just lying there in a daze when I noticed Con, who had finished eating, jumped up on his stomach and curled up.
　As I stroked his head with my right hand while staring at the ceiling, I noticed that the number of people walking down the hallway had increased dramatically. You can also hear the sound of helicopter rotors spinning in the distance, not just one or two, but dozens of planes waiting to take off.

What's going on?

Con.....

　As we looked at each other, I heard the sound of my room being unlocked and Claire-san, out of breath, came in with a scared look on her face.

''Kunki-kun, your house arrest has been lifted.

What's going on?

"An hour ago, the 'United People's Army' with the Capus Kingdom as its leader declared war on the Merkava Kingdom. Noah is going to participate in the war on the side of the Merkava Kingdom based on the security treaty, I'm sure Miki-san can give you the details, so hurry up and get ready.

　I don't understand why I have to get ready for this, but I put on the white military uniform Claire provided me with and left the room as she told me. I decided to follow Claire with Con as she hung on to my arm while lowering a card with 'Noa' written on it from her neck.
　When I entered the command center in the basement, my mother, Macho Cassis, Adrienne and Victoria were seated at a table looking at me as they waited for me.

''Gongju, come over here quickly,''

　When I sat down in an empty seat following my mother's words, she explained the current situation to me while I was under house arrest.

I'm sure you've heard a brief explanation from Claire-san, but the Capus Kingdom has declared war on the Merkava Kingdom. In response to that, the allied nations of Laguire, Lycurgical Kingdom and the Linkdoble Empire have also declared war on the Merkava Kingdom, with the goal of defeating the sub-race as the 'United Race Army'.

　Are you nuts?　Do you really think you can exterminate the sub-humans in this world with just four countries, and the coalition itself will collapse as our troops and supplies run out in the process? When I questioned her on this point, Mom would answer with a clear face, "No, it's not just the four countries.

'No, it's not just the four nations. It's a 12-nation alliance, to be exact, since they've annexed the small states and city-states scattered around the perimeter to build up their forces.

　Isn't that tasteless!　What's the matter with you?　I'm sure that the maximum strength of Noah's army was 80,000 at best, and even if we mobilized the kingdom's standing army, we'd still be able to gather 100,000 or so. Yo.

What about the perimeter?　If it becomes an endurance fight, you're sure to lose.

Defense line?　What are you talking about?　We have to attack from our side. That's why even Gongju asked Victoria-san to 'lend us the Imperial Army'.

　I didn't say anything about that!　I just asked, 'Please help Noah to live in this world,' because I didn't say anything belligerent like that. I tried to explain to her that she was mistaken about something, but sooner than that, Mom started to tell me the rest of her explanation.

You're not going to be able to get your hands on any of these things," she said, "so we took this situation very seriously and decided to cancel the peace talks and create a military alliance. From now on, Noah, the Kingdom of Merkava and the Ursna Empire will be fighting against the United Tribesmen's Army as the Multicultural Alliance.

　The only thing that matters is the fact that you don't want to do that in the first place, that's why you've moved to another world, and that's the end of the world. I don't mean to say "I'm ready to kill you" or anything like that, but I don't want to go to war if it can be settled through discussion, wouldn't it be better to have one more peace negotiation session with the allied forces?

Mom, I don't want to kill each other.

'Don't worry we'll have a war, but we won't kill each other, I've thought out a proper way to do it. You have to cooperate with me for that.

Mom smiled as she said that and gently stroked my head....




----Victoria's Viewpoint


'Don't worry we'll have a war, but we won't kill each other, I've thought out a proper way to do it. You have to cooperate with me for that.

　Miki-sama pats him on the head and asks how you plan to defeat the Allied forces without killing each other.　It's not like he's going to surrender, but I learned from the meeting earlier that Miki-dono is indeed the mother of Kouki, and she's quite a schemer. I'll ask her one question.

I'm sorry, Miki-dono, but I have no idea how to solve this problem without killing each other.

　In response to Mistress's question, Mister Miki began to explain, projecting the image onto a large mirror-shaped magic tool.

'We are considering using a modified version of the BZ gas, 'Incapacitating Gas'. The plan is to inhale the gas and force the comatose to be temporarily restrained and disarmed. Also, for the unavoidable hand-to-hand combat, please use the "stun sword" provided by Noah, the stun sword has the effect of stunting the attacker by sending high voltage electric current.
　If you are unable to subdue the attacker with these weapons, you may use a lethal weapon, but if you do, please contact Noah's emergency response team, which is deployed nearby. We will do everything possible to - no - no - we will end this war with absolutely no loss of life.

　It's true that if otherworldly technology and sub-humans like the mistresses joined forces, they might be able to end the war without causing any deaths. But........why do such troublesome things have to be done?　From the point of view of the mistresses, who have been persecuted for so long, humans are an existence that can be destroyed. The otherworldly Noah's people would not have any feelings for the humans of this world either.
　The princesses of the kingdom do not seem to agree with the mistresses' proposal of 'destroying the union', but they do not seem to have any particular intention of opposing it either, and they are waiting for Miki-dono's decision.

''My question is, why were the sub-human race all persecuted?''

Suddenly, the humans attacked. When we fought back, they gradually overpowered us and turned us into slaves.

　The past comes back to me when I reply to Kouki, who asked me a question instead of Miki-dono, who was thinking in silence. It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on a new one. I'm thinking of doing just that for the empire alone, depending on Miki-dono's response," he said, tilting his head and asking again.

''Did the humans really attack you for 'no reason'?　Didn't the bloodsucking race suck human blood?　Are the fairy folk taking human children?　Didn't the spirit tribe get into mischief with the humans?

What do you mean by that?

If you can't fight them alone, then defending yourself in a group is a normal decision for an intelligent creature.
　If you destroy them, you'll think 'maybe it's our turn' and people from another continent will fight you, so you'll fight again and continue until one of you is destroyed?　Don't you have the courage to put an end to that kind of futile and ridiculous behavior and take it one step further?

　Hearing Kouki's words, the mistresses realized. This boy from another world must be a messenger sent by God to guide sub-humans like the mistresses.




　Thousands of years later, in an age where Noah's existence is a myth, historians who would normally not change their minds have come to the same opinion on one thing: "This world is going through a dark period.

There was a time in this world called the Dark Ages, when sub-humans were persecuted, but there were brave men who ended the Dark Ages....
　Saints Adrienne, Kassis the Wise, Victoria the Demon King, Miki the otherworldly witch, and Kouki the Demon God, who is hardly mentioned in any of the remaining literature despite being the greatest contributor. There is no doubt that these five brave men established the brightest period of light that is still going on today.''
