“The records of Raiotto’s ancestor…”

Frankly I had a bad feeling about this . Raiotto himself seemed like a virtuous boy, but the ones who came up with offering a sacrifice were also that priest family . Which meant there was a large possibility that he depicted me in a bad light .

“But, well, let’s hear it at least . Rēko, even the gist is fine so could you tell me what are the contents like?”

“Understood . I won’t say the gist but the whole thing without mistaking a single word . ”

“Amazing, your memory is on another level . ”

Ahem, Rēko lightly cleared her throat .

“『You shall become my kin . Together, we will defeat the Demon King and put this world into the palms of our hands…』That was mine and the Evil Dragon Lord’s dramatic yet destined encounter . It goes without saying that those words deeply moved me, a prestigious sacrifice offered by the village, and left me choked with tears . When we returned to the village the preparations for the feast were already put in order, with me in high spirits due to the granted honour of riding on the Lord’s back . Moreover, it wasn’t a simple feast . Indeed, since the Evil Dragon Lord made his move the Demon King’s death was already set in stone . It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that it wasn’t a feast celebrating setting out for war, but the offering for the Demon King’s death – a living funeral, so to speak . The guest of honour Evil Dragon Lord was devouring heaps of meat and alcohol――”

“I think that’s from the wrong record . You’re surprisingly pushy with throwing me your top recommendation, aren’t you?”

No matter how you slice it, that unmistakably was the previous biography called “Kin’s Holograph~” or something . Moreover the depiction practically didn’t match the truth . I should take back what I said about her memory .

“It’s fine, I didn’t make a mistake . It’s the so called opening act . ”

“Isn’t that a bit long for an opening act?”

“How about a digested version? I’m able to shorten it to around 30 minutes till the climax of defeating the Demon King . ”

“Eh? You already managed to write about the Demon King’s death?”

“Yes, the Demon King dropped dead like a tattered dishrag . Now I’m in the middle of writing the after story . ”

“That really makes me curious… But I feel like I’ll lose if I ask . ”

I had a hunch that if I were to hear Rēko’s delusions here she’d reproduce them exactly in the future . Firmly resisting my curiosity I returned to the main topic . Once I urged her she began narrating details of the book in question .

“… The text written by the person that appears to be Raiotto’s ancestor wasn’t written in one volume . It remained as one section in a ma.n.u.script that is a collection of multiple dissenting views regarding Evil Dragon Lord . That ma.n.u.script is only a crude article, clearly portraying a different person, or rather a different dragon, and the written down paragraphs have no rhyme or reason when it comes to period . ”

“Could you tell me the depiction of that different dragon?”

“『A dragon came to the town’s outskirts . It was a dreadful black specimen with a towering body . That was when a brave cattleman came forward and begged the dragon for mercy . Thereupon, that dragon said ‘My throat is parched, could you get me something to drink?’ Once he drunk milk his stomach broke and he left clearly in pain . 』”
