Translator Note:

Some probably didn’t check my Patch Notes, so I will leave this note here for you to know

I announced that I wouldn’t be cutting chapters in parts So if chapters areparts, it is not because I have cut them, but because the very author has decided that those chapters will be divided in X amount of parts

PS: the POV’s up to date have all been translated! Check the TOC for the link andthem! And who knows, maybe now he/she will move to the Side Stories? winkwink

“I was expecting a cave-looking place, but it seeht But since it is a water dragon, this ”

Makoto and Hibiki were at the island that is floating at the center of Meiris Lake, in that place, there’s a giant tereece temple, with stone tiles and stairs, and the h

It made the two feel that this is not a place where people live

(…The dae is terrible It would be another case if it were ruins, but this is a dwelling There’s a lot of recent daic and swords It see’, are pretty violent stuff) (Hibiki)

The outward appearance and its interior was terribly da

Just as Hibiki noticed, there was quite a lot of recent dae scale battle in this place

“Water has been used as a mirror since time immemorial The special traits of water are a lot more varied than hyumans can think of” (Waterfall)

Waterfall stepped forward first

She was sitting on top of the Gel type uests that she had invited

The Superior Dragon Waterfall’s dwelling is at an island at the center of Meiris Lake

But in the Meiris Lake that Makoto and Hibiki were just a few ht now, they are at a space of Meiris Lake that Waterfall had created

Its utilization is quite different froon that possessed a space as well

(Mirror huh Is it like the world at the other side of the mirror? The scene at the water’s surface can be broken by the waves and gives an unstable ih this is small for a space, it feels like it is stable It resembles Tomoe’s Asora, but…could it be that water is the closest to the element of space creation?) (Makoto)

Makoto was co the inherent ability of Tomoe –Asora– with the current space that was probably created by Waterfall

“Waterfall, let ht to the point If I were to put it the water element to practical use, can I compose a separate space even if temporary, and retain it?” (Hibiki)

Hibiki was thinking if she could put the water element into practical use to create a separate space she can use as a storage

If they can make use of it, it would be extremely useful in armies

They have to rival the dey ashard fights

It is because she understands this that she made this question

“Well, I wouldn’t say there’s no chance, but this temple holds the special characteristic of my water, and it was combined with the power of the Meiris Lake; a result born by chance It is also the one of the reasons why I live here Ina space, but in ter of, the one with the highest chance of knoould be a certain someone that specializes in illusions” (Waterfall)

“So of this level can’t be done easily” (Hibiki)

“…”

(I feel like she is talking directly about Toons work? She is talking of Tomoe as if she knew of her Anyways, this place is really different to Asora Her space is only as big as a lake after all Also, there’s a problem in it) (Makoto)

Makoto didn’t react to the words of Waterfall and was thinking

He was using Sakai and trying to understand this space

Froathered, he learned that this place is simply connected to the real Meiris Lake, and it was different from Asora which can be used for complete isolation if they wanted to

“Now then, please come in Fortunately, I am currently in this size We will be able to talk co the invitation of Waterfall, the place that we arrived at was a courtyard

A soft bright light was shi+ning, and there’s a lake at one’s field of vision

A table and sits were prepared, and there were even cups and a pot

Makoto and Hibiki took their seats, and Waterfall takes a seat that was raised for herself

The Gel skillfully grabs the pot and serves what seems to be tea to Makoto and Hibiki It turns to Waterfall and tre its way out of the courtyard

“That guy is quite handy” (Makoto)

“He is the one that takes care of my everyday necessities Because of that incident, they have decreased a lot in nuh” (Waterfall)

“Is it your familiar? Or maybe a devotee?” (Makoto)

“It is the same relationshi+p as that of ‘her’ and the Mist Lizards, Raidou” (Waterfall)

“Ah, I see” (Makoto)

Makoto was impressed by the dedication of the Gel

With an answer that only Makoto would understand, she expressed the relationshi+p between both

“…Waterfall, is it really okay fora conversation that she didn’t understand as soon as it begins, Hibiki asked in consideration

She was already given the permission to be there, but it was to confirm just in case

“Of course I hold a personal interest in you Please acco, and after, there’s also so I want to talk with you about” (Waterfall)

“…Understood” (Hibiki)

“Now then, Raidou It seems ‘that person’ has caused you a lot of trouble huh Even though the probleine that the situation would have gotten even worse without your help With that in consideration as well, I give youyou have to turn so courteous when saying Also, the one that was troubled the most was probably Grount-san I think that it would be better to thank that person instead of h the White Desert by feet, right? It is certainly true that since I am in this kind of state, I most likely caused a lot of burden to her” (Waterfall)

“Yeah” (Makoto)

“Anyways, I think that, as a Superior Dragon, I have to reward you You probably won’t be happy about ic book for you” (Waterfall)

(A ic power fro at all, which I don’t understand well With that attack that dispersed the purple cloud, I should think that he possesses a giant aon could increase his power even ) (Hibiki)

Hearing the word thens her caution

A strongspells

Hibiki understands just how ic book Thank you veryit Please use it for the sake of leading the world to a good path Of course, I don’t uide you there, so how about checking them out?” (Waterfall)

“Is that okay?” (Makoto)

Makototo need it’

Waterfall who seemed to understand the situation, told Makoto that she had prepared ic books that he would need

Obviously he would have an interest

“Of course You have acceptedthe recompense for it as well, it would only uide waiting at the pathway along the lake With this, let’s put a finish to the stiff talk, and I will be speaking with Hibiki for a while” (Waterfall)

“Sorry for the trouble, and thanks” (Makoto)

(She feels the ons I have met Honestly, it derails my pace) (Makoto)

Makoto stands up froh the corridor that Waterfall had pointed, and disappeared from the field of vision of Waterfall and Hibiki ere left

“…”

“…”

Seeing the back of Makoto going away, a silent tian

“…I understand that you had Makoto-kun leave and wanted to speak withJust that, I think that your position is higher than mine and Makoto-kun Can I ask your reason for this?” (Hibiki)

Hibiki who has been silent until now, looks straight at Waterfall and speaks

“You are sharp I am relieved that you are just as I expected you to be, Hibiki The reason why I wanted to be alone with you, is because I have so to request of you” (Waterfall)

“A request? A Superior Dragon like you…to e Even a Goddess is requesting of a hero after all” (Waterfall)

“…”

“Just as you can see, I am currently not in a body that can exert much power In truth, I would have prefered to make contact with you before I turned this way, but an unexpected situation occurred and it couldn’t be fulfilled” (Waterfall)

“A lot happened?” (Hibiki)

“Of course, I will be requesting of you, so I will be telling you later Hibiki” (Waterfall)

“What is it?” (Hibiki)

“Please seal Raidou” (Waterfall)

“!!”

Hearing the unexpected words of Waterfall, Hibiki’s breath stancades

Leaving her surprised eyes, she simply waited for the words of Waterfall that should have a continuation

“Even if I aerous Accurately speaking, I want you to prevent hi more than he is noant you to be the overseer of this” (Waterfall)

“What do you mean by that?” (Hibiki)

“I think you have already noticed, but that person is incredibly dangerous It could be said that he is already a danger to all the existences that live in this world” (Waterfall)

“…That ons– normally don’t intervene in the dispute between hyumans and demi-humans, and we don’t have an interest in it either Frankly speaking, we don’t care who they glorify in this world That’s why, leaving aside the Spirits, the Superior Dragons don’t actively take part in the war between hyumans and de well-known as an existence of high power, the Superior Dragons practically didn’t intervene in the war that’s currently happening

Grount who is giving divine protection to one of the knights of the Eon that provides power to the people no matter if there’s a war or not

The exception was Lancer, but it is not like he was cooperating with the hyu with the demons

Because of the contract with Sofia, both werefor their own objectives

“But thinking about the hyumans, demi-humans, and the many races out there in this world, there’s one hyuman that becomes an unprecedented threat to the on his actions, I ht have to move myself” (Waterfall)

“…An unprecedented threat” (Hibiki)

Waterfall had a thinking that was incredibly close to what Hibiki thought

That this dragon is perceiving Makoto with the sae as easy as water, they possess a flexible vessel, and are living beings that can show change in trickery Normally, I would oversee all this, and even if there were a revolutionist appearing, it would only be considered as the natural flow But Raidou is not even that He will si will be born from him In the past, present, and future, he will si possibility to do this” (Waterfall)

(It is practically the saainst existences that he has deemed as enemies And he thinks of life –and most likely his own as well– in an incredibly drythe proble the obstacle He is a boy that would naturally accept this flow of events And without thinking back on it, he steps forward) (Hibiki)

Waterfall had been defeated by Sofia, and was absorbed temporarily into herself

For Waterfall who has been thinking aboutblunder

But thanks to that, Waterfall was able to witness the two battles of Raidou against Sofia, and within the egg, she was able to learn a lot through Root’s analysis

On top of that, what Waterfall thought first was to jeer at certain existences that were right beside that person

‘Just how far are you going to go in order to fulfill your own enjoyment?! Just what do you think of the world, you idiotic bunch?!’

80 was directed at Root, and 20 was directed at Toer that couldn’t turn into words, and was throwing jeers that she had no choice but to not say

It’s been a long tie

That’s why Waterfall was grateful for the unexpected chance that Hibiki came to Meiris Lake as well

And so, she decided to throay her restrains

“His past self wasn’t like that, he was a nor man He probably didn’t have that abnor” (Hibiki)

“The possible reason is this world Being separated from his family and the world that was filled with peaceful co of ‘that other world’ Even so, right now it is only on the level of shedding off the thin skin of the egg His morals and ethics are still alive, so that’s probably the remains of the Raidou that Hibiki previously knew of” (Waterfall)

“An abnormal nature that would have been buried if he hadn’t come to this world… In other words, he is a person that would have been better if he hadn’t co about the fact that he should have originally been summoned alone into this world, it could be considered that this situation is a miracle in itself” (Waterfall)

“…What do you mean by that?” (Hibiki)

“The head of the Superior Dragons has a connection with the Goddess Since it is the inforinally, the only one that had a connection to this world, was Raidou” (Waterfall)

“In other words, the irregulars are not Makoto-kun, but us ere called here as heroes?” (Hibiki)

“Yes, and frouess, that’s has probably become some sort of debt inside of Raidou” (Waterfall)

“Debt? Why?” (Hibiki)

Hibiki asks for the basis of that guess

Hibiki and To the situation froiven ed, but it was a decision they ulars, the fact that they have beco that Makoto should feel indebted for

“This is only a guess Finding a suitable time, please confirm it with your own ears And if it’s actually true…” (Waterfall)

“…You are telling to keep silent aboutabout it, and that’s just reat that you are quick on the uptake” (Waterfall)

If the person feels debt by himself, it shouldn’t be corrected and utilized instead

In that sense, the two of them were in sync

“Honestly, Makoto-kun’s threat level is so that I felt as well Today it turned into certainty though I don’t know if I will be able to answer your expectations, but I do think that I must associate with him in a prudent et used to the battlefield, and make him be as far as possible fro a merchant, please help him do it In present, that’s the best direction” (Waterfall)

“You don’t have a plan that can solve the root proble aside him, the people around him most likely won’t consent to it If possible, that would be the best solution, and it is also what he has gone to check at this moment” (Waterfall)

“…And that is?” (Hibiki)

“It is si ritual Forabout the current situation, it would be impossible to realize” (Waterfall)

“Summon? No, a recall?! In other words, a method to return to japan!! In that case!!” (Hibiki)

Hearing the solution of Waterfall, Hibiki’s eyes glittered in an instant

Certainly, if it’s that method, Raidou who is not that attached to this world, would not only give his consent, but that way, it will also work as the perfect isolation

She thought that it was the best method where no one would be unhappy

But at the same time, it bothered her that Waterfall said it was irettable manner

“…To accomplish the ritual there’s the need for around a thousand lives, and on top of that, it can only recall Moreover, it is not a forced one, but a ritual where the person has to consent to in order to actually work” (Waterfall)

“A thousand…” (Hibiki)

Hibiki thought that it was a sht cause in the future

“Raidou has a special companion relationshi+p betweenconnection with him in this world are not few It is not a realistic solution” (Waterfall)

“Are you referring to Tomoe-san and Mio-san?” (Hibiki)

“…Yeah It is troublesome About Mio, your companion Chiya probably knows of it already When you return, you can hear it from her What I can say for sure is that, whether it is Tomoe or Mio, it will be impossible to obtain consent for the recall Because even if the residents of this world consent to the recalling ritual, they won’t be able to go to the same world as Raidou” (Waterfall)

“…”

“Hibiki, listen well Change him not with battle, but with a different method, and find some way to seal him within peace Raidou’s vessel for power itself is completely different from you and the E to oppose it would be a foolish Noof a vessel hyumans possess, they won’t be able to take in the whole sea It goes beyond comparison” (Waterfall)

“Vessel of power…” (Hibiki)

“Even if ere to put all the power in this world into one, I don’t think ould be able to realize a battle” (Waterfall)

“Then, don’t tell me that even the Goddess…” (Hibiki)

“…If it turns into a situation where the Goddess herself cohts…” (Waterfall)

“…”

“This world will most likely be destroyed by its root” (Waterfall)

“No way” (Hibiki)

“I am sure of this” (Waterfall)

“…”

Waterfall is saying this

That Makoto already has the power to outdo the Goddess

As expected, Hibiki was unable to easily accept this level of opinion

She decided to just listen to it as one opinion Waterfall has of Raidou

“You have learned of both sides of the Goddess’ world, and even with that, you were still able to think about changing it from the inside That approach of yours struck my heart Because of my powerless body, I am unable to provide you divine protection or foron Waterfall– promise to cooperate with hero Hibiki I will leave this world in Hibiki’s hands” (Waterfall)

“…I said it before but, why did Waterfall end up in that body?” (Hibiki)

“Ah, I still haven’t explained it, right Actually, I was killed by the Dragon Slayer Sofia not that long ago” (Waterfall)

“…Eh?” (Hibiki)

“And then, aside from me, there was also Crimson Red and Darkness Clad Sofia who had killed us and obtained our poas half killed by Raidou who didn’t suffer a single injury” (Waterfall)

“…Eh?!” (Hibiki)

“And then, Sofia was finished by our Head Being released, ere looked after by the Superior Dragon’s Head, and Raidou is currently delivering them to the several locations” (Waterfall)

“…”

“He has connections with the demon race as well, so I think Hibiki will definitely have it hard If you were a man, your hair would definitely fall mercilessly But I believe that if it’s you, you will be able to gather all the circumstances, and lead it to the best result” (Waterfall)

“Wa, wait!!” (Hibiki)

Being told truths she didn’t know of one after the other, Hibiki had turned into a reaction doll

With its round eyes, Waterfall was looking straight at Hibiki with a pressure that didn’t suit her small body as she cornered herit out, I now feel a bit lighter It’s like so has come off from my shoulder” (Waterfall)

“D-Don’t just put it down!! What was that about the de anyways then!!” (Hibiki)

“…Please do your best, Hibiki” (Waterfall)

“You are supposed to be cooperating with ht? Didn’t you say that just now? Isn’t all of this soe?!!” (Hibiki)

“Sorry I was dead all this time, and today I was recently born Even if I could observe, I wasn’t in a state where I could tell you” (Waterfall)

“What’s with that…? What’s that about being dead, seriously…” (Hibiki)

Hibiki who had stood up froth in her legs had given out

“Even so, Hibiki, you won’t break Your nature is that of a challenger And you are a genius Wring out the power of the people to protect this world and the Goddess as well” (Waterfall)

“I wonder why…I feel incredibly tired” (Hibiki)

“When you return, listen to what the priestess has to say And then, if possible, try having a bout with Raidou By doing that, you will definitely understand; what I saw and feared” (Waterfall)

Hibiki didn’t answer Waterfall’s words

She had her head hung down and her eyes closed Maybe she was trying to understand this situation, or it ht be that she is si silent

“…For noill try with the talk about the recall and the convincing And after that, I will try having a bout If I have no choice but to do it, I understand I will have to carry this burden as I move forward” (Hibiki)

(To think that I would have to do so like this e are still in war… I feel like I a ith both the Kuzunoha Company and the de on you Ah, try to act as you always do with Raidou” (Waterfall)

“Because I was the one you told the situation to, you believe that I aht? I have somewhat understood your personality” (Hibiki)

“How reliable” (Waterfall)

Hibiki stands up and heads towards the library that Makoto went to

Waterfall got on Hibiki’s shoulder and showed her will to accoht, Hibiki If it’s for a short tier, so at the ti you outside It will also provide a plus to your name” (Waterfall)

“Since the circu that can serve as a plus” (Hibiki)
