135 Episode 135: Award Ceremony and the Truth to Be Revealed (1/2)

◆ Audiences ◆

”Now we are going to have an award ceremony for the Dragon Emperor's Rite and the Dragon Princess's Rite!

The awards ceremony begins when the mayor of the town, standing in the middle of the game stage, speaks up.

The long-lasting story of the mayor is softly asking me as well as everyone else to finish the story quickly.

What we came to see was an award ceremony after this.

We were sure.

When something absolutely amazing happens at the award ceremony for this tournament.

There will be a great event in this country, once in a lifetime or not, about the resurrection of the legendary king we heard about in the old days.

”Winner, Tyran, and Liliera, before!

Coming!

The mayor's long story is finally over, and we turn to the aisle where the players come in every game.

We hear footsteps from the back of the aisle, as it hurries our expectations.

”” ”That?

But we tilt our necks at what we saw there.

”Just Princess Ryu?

Yes, the only person who showed up on stage was Princess Ryu, and His Majesty the Dragon Emperor was nowhere to be found.

We don't see His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, the star of the award ceremony, and we're confused.

”Oh, that? What about Tyran...?

The mayors seem upset about the absence of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor.

I wonder what the hell happened to His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, that's when I thought so.

Suddenly the surroundings were dark and shady.

I thought you were covered in clouds too, but you weren't.

Because I heard countless wings from above the sky.

If you looked up at the sky, there was a huge flock of wings covering and hiding the sky.

”Oh, is that...!?”

We know. That horrible look.

If you're the one who lives in this dragonia, there's no one who doesn't know what that looks like.

”D, it's a dragon. Ah!

Yes, it was a herd of dragons that could not be counted as covering up the sky.

”Wow! They'll eat you. Uh-oh!

”Hih, no, no, no, no!?”

That's not what happened when the dragon that used to take Wyburn attacked me.

Everything in the sky was a dragon.

It is also the appearance of dragons of so many colors that green, blue, red, black and eyes tickle.

I've seen blue dragons along the streets, but I've never heard of black or gemstone dragons coming to people!

Just one of those heads will destroy the town 100 times!?

”” ”Grre down from directly above the match venue.

shining in the sunlight. It was winging gold and silver.

”Oh, that...”

We'll see.

The sky-dancing dragons paved the way to welcome those pairs of wings.

”It's the Golden Dragon and the Silver Dragon...”

”” Ges down from the back of the dragon.

We look at that, and our backs are lifted.

”It's Tyran...”

”It's His Majesty the Dragon Emperor...”

Yes, it was the man we were waiting for, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, Tyran.

”” ”” ”” His Majesty the Dragon Emperor Ahhh!! ”” ”

◆

Uh, it was dangerous.

I never thought the dragons would make a fuss about showing up in town.

In previous lives, even if a flock of dragons crossed the town, it felt like a flock of migratory birds crossed if they weren't flying.

Is that it? Probably due to the enactment of dragon material protection laws and the decrease in the number of people familiar with dragons.

Whatever it was, I rushed to ask the Golden Dragon to quiet the dragons down because the town was in a mess.

And a little earlier than planned, but I got off on the game stage as Tyran.

As dragon emperors we all believe in, to tell you what's to come.

When I get off the Golden Dragon, the look on the faces of the townspeople turns to relief.

Yeah, it looks like you showed up as dragon emperors riding the golden dragon, and you all figured out the dragons weren't your enemies.

”” ”His Majesty the Dragon Emperor!” ”

I'm not used to this dragon emperor call though.

And even from the Silver Dragon, Mr. Lune comes down.

”Huh? Why would a human not Princess Ryu come down from the Silver Dragon?

And so the people at the venue lean their necks at the fact that Mr. Lune came down from the Silver Dragon.

”Surely that kid... yes, he's the Lune player who fought Princess Ryu in the finals!

”Yes, he's a Lune player!

”But why Lune?

Apparently you thought it was Mr. Liliera who was following the Silver Dragon.

But this is the operation to get Princess Ryune to acknowledge that she is the successor to Princess Ryu, who lost the final match of Princess Ryu's ritual.

”Quiet, everyone!

I pretend to be the Dragon Emperor and speak to everyone in the room.

”I've got something to tell everyone this time.”

”His Majesty the Dragon Emperor told us...?”

”What the hell...?

”I'll talk to you later.”

So, it was Mr. Lune who came forward.

From here forward, the Dragon Emperor discreetly concedes the lead role to Mr. Lune.

”My name is Lune Risel voor Dragonia... it draws the blood of the Dragonian royal family”

”” ”... eh eh eh eh!?” ”

Everyone in town is surprised to hear the shock confession.

Yeah, this conversation is ringing all over town because I also have some loud magic on Mr. Lune that just sounded all over town.

It would save me a lot of trouble if I put it together and explained it.

”Lew, Lune is royal!? Are you serious?!?”

”But if you think about it, you're also convinced why Lune showed up on the Silver Dragon.”

”You must have all been surprised. But this is true. I am a descendant of a royal family who was chased through the country hundreds of years ago...”

With that said, Mr. Lune began to tell the people of town what had happened to his ancestors, as he had told us before.

”My ancestors, who were thus taken over by the Chancellor, descended into the field to take back the throne, to use their words in reverse, to become dragon knights and defeat dragons.”

……

Looks like the people in town are confused about how to react to Mr. Lune's shocking confession.

In Dragonia, after the Dragon Emperor died in the war, the story that the Chancellor made a declaration that he would run the country as a surrogate until the day the Dragon Emperor returned would have surprised you even more because it sounded like we all knew it in old stories.

”The prime ministers did not rebuild a weakened country with the loss of the Knights of the Dragon Emperor. It is the greatest symbol of force that Dragonia could have shown against another country at the time!

Yeah, normally, it's impossible not to rebuild the strongest forces in the country, right?

”The Knights of the Dragon Emperor create a contradictory existence: knights serving the royal family, or knights serving the doomed royal family. But that's no reason to rely on rebuilding your power. Because a Dragon Knight who defeats a Dragon and dances in the sky with it is very powerful.”

Dragon Knights have also been useful as powerful fighters in previous lives, and more importantly, being able to make a whole wild threat of Dragons an ally has the advantage of reducing the number of enemies and increasing the number of allies, even if you simply think about it.

So you don't have a choice not to do it, do you?
