Chapter 127 He Might Be the Most Kingly of Them All (1/2)
In my first visit to the Demon Realm, I encountered an extraordinary being…… The world’s largest being, the Dragon King, far exceeded my expectations.
Even from a distance, he looks incredibly large, but when he gets close enough, it was already a sight that can be considered as a joke.
I mean, are you telling me that the thing I’m looking at now is just his leg!? No, no, it looks like a giant dark brown wall already, and I can’t even look up above his feet anymore!!!
Is he one of those so-called earth dragons? Even one of his quadrupedal feet had exceeded through the clouds.
Thereupon, the Dragon King came to a stop in front of Lillywood-san and I, along with the shaking earth.
If we were close enough, there would apparently be a gale blowing towards every direction by its steps, but Lillywood-san seemed to be defending for that, so I didn’t feel anything aside from the earthquakes.
The Behemoth that had been trying to intimidate Lillywood-san a while ago was also trembling, as if frightened by the Dragon King’s tremendous physique.
Thereupon, the Dragon King slowly brings down his huge face, but like his other body parts, his face alone still has a ridiculous size, as his face alone is about the size of a normal mountain.
Even one of its eyeballs is bigger than the Behemoth…… It’s size really far exceeds the realm of common sense.
“……What is it? Is this an eyesore rattling out here?”

He just said it with a carefree tone, but because his size was out of the norm to begin with, just the volume of his voice made the air tremble, as if the heavens were about to descend.
And slowly, the Dragon King moved his gaze to the Behemoth……
“Leave! Child!”
[ ! ? ! ? ]
Just before he let out that voice, tree roots grow in my vision like a wall, and immediately afterward, that voice loudly vibrated.
W- What the heck is with this volume!? The wooden walls are shaking like a bomb just exploded!?
The Dragon King’s roar instantly extinguishes the Behemoth’s fighting spirit, and with a tremendous speed, the Behemoth flees far away.
After looking at it and moving his face as if to let out a sigh, the Dragon King turns towards us.
“It’s been a while, Lillywood.”
“Yes, it’s been a while, Magnawell. It’s unusual for you to be out and about outside of the Festival of Heroes.”

“What, I just came here to see the rumored otherworlder. However, it’s really tricky to walk around without stepping on the Demons’ cities.”
After greeting Lillywood-san with a deep voice that reminds me of someone who lived for a long time, the Dragon King turns his huge eyes towards me.
“So, you’re the otherworlder I’ve been hearing of?”
[ ! ? ]
H- He’s outrageously intimidating…… The combination of his voice and magic power, as well as the visual magnitude, makes my body tremble, as if I’m being crushed.
However, even so, it’s not as bad as when I first encountered Isis-san.
I think it was quite rude to greet him while I’m trembling, so I closed my eyes once, took a deep breath, suppressed the trembling of my body, and looked at the Dragon King straight at his eyes…… just one of his eyes.
[Nice to meet you, I’m Miyama Kaito.]
[……Hoohhh… It seems that youngsters these days know how to be polite……. Good. You introduced yourself, and I will also do so. Magnawell Baskus Lardo Kurtzvald…… I am called the Dragon King.”
[I- I’m in your care.]

“Umu. I have heard rumors about you from the Phantasmal King, and wondered what kind of youngster you are…… and you’re even more than I expected, quite the good expression you have there. Alright, Miyama Kaito. I allow you to call me by my name just like the other members of the Six Kings, omitting the honorific titles.”
[Thank you very much. Magnawell-san.]
He has a dignified way of speaking, a way of speaking that’s fit for a king.
And that king told me that he’s allowing me to call him by his name, just as I call Kuro and the others. I thought it would be rude to call him with “-sama” by his name here, so I followed what he said and called him Magnawell-san.
Thereupon, a huge pterosaur descends near Magnawell-san, flapping its wings.
Another huge dragon that was about a hundred meters long arrived, but it really does look small in front of Magnawell-san’s size.
[Are you sure? You’re allowing him to call you that?]
He spoke!? Ah, no, Magnawell-san had just talked too, so I guess high-ranking dragons can talk.
“Umu, I can see why the others like this guy……. It looks like you don’t understand huh. Good, Miyama Kaito, I’m going to ask you a question.”
[Eh? Ah, yes!]

“Just now, you closed your eyes and caught your breath before introducing yourself to me…… And why is that?”
[Errr, I- I thought it was rude to greet people while shaking.]
“Umu. It’s sometimes disrespectful when one shows reverence. Especially if it’s to someone who’s trying to see your true worth, it’s only polite to be respectful and speak for yourself…… It’s easy to put into words, but there aren’t many people who can do it in front of me. He has courage, and a good heart.”
Hearing Magnawell-san’s explanation, the pterosaur nodded once as if he was convinced, and then, flapped his wings and disappeared in the skies.
“Good grief, youngsters these days lack that kind of temperament. All they do before me is tremble and throw out offhanded compliments…… Even back in my youth, there are hardly such people too……”
“……Magnawell. Please cut to the chase. If you keep Kaito-san around too long…… It will make Isis angry.”
“Unnn? What is this, are both of you heading to Isis?”
[Yes, I’m on my way to visit Isis-san’s castle.]
“……Visit her castle? To Isis? How unusual……”
Hearing what I said, Magnawell-san looked a little surprised.

However, he quickly regained his expression, and facing towards me, he spoke.
“Well then, let’s talk on the way…… Get on, I’ll take you there.”
[……Huh?]
“Fumu, I suppose it’s certainly easier to see the scenery above your body.”
[Eh? Wait!?]
I feel like the situation is turning outrageous, but Lillywood-san doesn’t seem to mind either, as she floated me up and above Magnawell-san’s head…… between where his eyebrows would be if he’s human.
Thereupon, Magnawell-san slowly raises his face and his gaze switches at once.
