Chapter 4 (1/2)

The Hero and The Demon Lord

Part 01:

The peak of Mt Lindhol spirits resides, had a harsh environment

The climate, air and even more so, it carries an unusual and heavy at exactly the atmosphere of a “holy mountain”

In addition, there are also other things that makes you feel the harshness of it’s environment

Sometimes, there are creatures unknown to Merea that moves about in the sky

And those creatures yet again, as for whether it was a beast or aits appearance will likely be described with such expression, Merea’s heart began to prickle with anxiety

That day, in thewith an appearance that he felt like he had seen before

――I feel like I’ve seen that appearance before

There’s no doubt — It’s a 『Dragon』

Mt Lindhol area have its peak piercing through the clouds every

As a result, the clouds altitude seems lower

And when it does, h you will be able to see see above, in the on

Upon seeing the figure of the dragon that he could only see in legends before, Merea’s heart reflexively began throbbing fast

Facing the opposite side, up to the dragon itself, in the peak of the sacredto a hundred resides, there was a seely mysterious existence of a boy mixed in front of them

『What the those group of dying great spirits have coain huh?』

Uttering those words with a joyful tone, it began to descend on the summit

Flapping its huge wings, flying with its body ht movements

The body of the dragon was standing tall at the peak of the holy mountain

Merea was instinctively overwhelon

「Uoh! It’s really a dragon A D-r-a-g-o-n」

(TN: It was a katakana, Doragon)

「To be precise, it was 〈Heavenly Dragon〉 Because there are also ‘earth dragons’, you have to remember the difference」

「Ah O-Okay」

It had only been one week since Merea reincarnated

His daily life was surprisingly going well

Firstly, for Merea to grow accustomed to the environment, a cave and frozenwith consued to live somehow

For his livelihood, it seems a fixed amount of food provisions was prepared by the heroic spirits beforehand

For Merea, listening to the troubleso in the cold winds of the mountain was really difficult

That’s why, at first the the spirits only told hied to lived by with it

「So why is a boy living in such a dangerous place like this」

The dragon said, tilting it’s head

The beautiful ht Merea, Flounder Croith a waron and said-

「It’s because he is our child」

「Oh, the usual “child of heroic spirits” huh? To think it would really succeed With that, these bunch of rashly strong heroic spirits that remained were able to obtain happiness huh」

「Well, it’s just a bunch of forh」

「… I guess, that’s right」

To the self-ridiculing son muttered a small voice

「But even so, what an odd appearance」

The dragon then, turn its face towards Merea

「A white hair seely like the snow, The color of the eyes was that of a fresh blood Rather, if you were to ask host」

「His white hair was inherited from 〈Lei Lace〉 And the red hair was inherited from mine With that said, because it was combination of many essence of the spirits, it’s probably indeed peculiar However, having Lei Lace hair is quite beautiful in itself right?」

「Oh, indeed If it’s the hair of the that white heroine with peerless beauty, without a doubt it’s beautiful– Then, as for that Lei Lace?」

「She’s already “gone” you know?」

「What?」

「Leilace upon watching over the birth of Merea, she already went gone Because as for her regrets, it was not so without giving birth to a child or so it seems」

「I… see」

The dragon emitted a bit of a melancholic facial expression

Though the face was that of a dragon, Merea was still able to tell

「Well, though it’s quite saddening, for you all, such happening is a blessing itself right?」

「That’s right Because after overcorets, you will surely become happy」

While listening to the conversation of Flounder and the Dragon, Merea understood the existence of the spirits a little bit

He was able to surmise the reason why Flounder and the others were called Heroes, froon itself

Heroes

Flounder called himself 『An existence within a worn-out hero』, albeit in a self-ridiculing tone, but fro tone is nowhere to be found or so he thought

The spirits residing in this place were for to remain in this place seems like the truth

「Though you’re called heroes, you all are unexpectedly lenient For your greatest joy to be so to exist」

The Holy Mountain of Lindholm, even to this world was a unique place

A place where the world allows those who should’ve been dead to fool around

At the saret-ridden spirits to “finish so seldom visits

-Well, Flounder theh

Merea knew after spending time with them for a week

That they are not very different fro

No, because he still haven’tin this world, he cannot confir in the world he for

However according to the heroic spirits, there are also spirits that obtained a body see on the lower level of the mountain

(TN: Okay, that i’m not very sure)

–Because of their regrets

「Anyhow, if that’s the case, there are only 99 of you re」

「Those will soon have to rely on Merea」

「–Will he really become the savior of the heroic spirits」

「I do not knoever, I think he will become a splendid hero」

「That’s theyourselves for the sake of the world but not being able to remain a hero to the very end, an unfortunate existence — However, ree And before you realized, the future that you all wished for er」

「Having the heavenly dragon atches over the world say that, the persuasive power is pretty strong」

「Right ……Well however, I am also concerned on how you plan to raise Merea, That’s hen the clouds becaain, I will take a visit」

「I’ on you After all, it seems Merea won’t be able to make friends currently」

–The parent declared tinged with loneliness

「Because there is probably no other benevolent living being that will coain after all」

「Un- Well then, fare well」

「Yes」

Saying that, the dragon once again flew back into the sky

–Though the spirits are occasionally ly fantasy-like

Merea, knowing that the beings that once only belonged to people’s fantasy caed with anxiety at the same time

Fantasy too stronk

(TN: Jk~ it’s Fantasy is overwhel)

Supposing that those kinds of beings were to oppose him, will he still be able to live in this world properly?

–I understood that I could live, if I did as if it was a matter of life and death

Huh? This is not putting the cart before the horse! It feels as if, for one to live here, he must also knohat death is like

Another week has passed since the Heavenly Dragon took a visit

That day, Merea has been running about in the peak of the holy mountain of Lindholm

With that said, it was actually due to the 『Fire balls』 blazing and burning vigorously, chasing him

「Hey, try to escape even desperately, This is a special training for you since you got used to living here!」

「Just what is this for anyway!?」

「A training for the purpose of becoreat hero, obviously!」

–This is tyranny

Listening to the stories of the great spirits, I’ve already known their reason for calling me here

—Apparently, they want to make me become a hero
