Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master

Chapter 290 – Intermission (Princess) ④

We have sworn. We will become stronger and reach the realm of the world that Earth has stepped into.

To be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him.

To stand next to him.

To entrust our backs to him.

So much so that he can rely on us.

That power is in a world where the Seven Heroes and Six Supremacy, who are said to be legends from the Great War, reside.

In the battle with that Black Sage, Paripi, I felt that goal tremendously.

But even that realization was still lukewarm.

It is not that it was tremendous.

I can’t see the end.

“So, wee lass, how strong do you want to be?”

“I want to be so strong that the High Priestess, the Goddess, and Older brother will all depend on me!”

The moment the innocent Amae said this genuinely without any hesitation, my chest tightened even more.

Those were the words we should have spoken.

But we were too intimidated by the vastness of the world Earth was stepping into to utter those words.

How pathetic…

“Nuwahahaha, how precious~. So, th’ ones that lassie says she wants to rely on her are the lad who summoned me and his bride? Nuwahahaha, that lad is also popular ~. well, not as much as I.”

Vasalar was laughing cheerfully at Amae’s words.

Yes, this is a world where not only the Six Supremacy, but also the legendary Dragon King of Hades would casually appear all of a sudden.

It’s impossible not to be perplexed…

“Dragon King of Hades Vasalar…”

It was then.

Among those of us who could only watch their exchange, Sadiz asked Vasalar.

“You… you seem to be an old acquaintance of the Great Demon King Tre’ainar… didn’t you think anything of Little man?”

“Hmm? Yesh, I did. I played a wee bit with th’ lad… he’s a cheeky one, but he had grit and was amusing. Th’ bride had backbone too.”

“Th… that’s all… was that it? Erm, Little man’s… lineage… that… and… Little man’s technique…”

“Should anything else matter? It’s not about his skills or parentage… th’ Great Magic Spiral that th’ lad and his bride unleashed on me … it was so intense my spirit surged. I felt a nostalgic soul. That was enough.”

What Sadiz was worried about when she asked… Come to think of it, Earth used the technique of the Great Demon King Tre’ainar.

And Sadiz knew the circumstances. Earth had said that only Sadiz knew.

That’s frustrating for me.

But more than that…

“Th’ lad and his bride were fascinating. Other than that, I’m not interested in th’ lad’s background or title~”

“Is… that so?”

We couldn’t say “that” to Earth.

To Vasalar, who can say it so easily, we probably look like small things.

Even though we just happened to be born into a family of heroes, we thought that we should pride ourselves as “the chosen ones”.

I didn’t even realize that the man I fell in love with didn’t even see me as a woman, yet I was conceited enough to believe he had feelings for me too.

Simply….

“…… I thought, but…”

“?”

“After all, even if it’s something to do with Tre’ainar… Nuwahaha, I did say earlier, I have an unmanly side as well. When I look at you, I get sentimental.”

Vasalar, the Dragon King of Hades, smiled at Sadiz with nostalgic eyes.

“That… you said I’m…… a descendant of the ancient female hero Kaguya…”

“Well~. if th’ only one I couldn’t defeat in a fight was Tre’ainar… th’ only one I couldn’t woo… is Kaguya.”

“…… Huh?”

………… eh? J, just now, what?

Couldn’t woo? S, somehow right now, I just heard some very unexpected words from the Dragon King of Hades, a being who resides in legends and myths…

“I have many wives. At one point, I was courting all th’ ladies from one end to th’ other. And Kaguya is a human… well, her roots are not in this world, but even if she is of a different race, she was a good woman. So after our inconclusive duel on th’ moon, I tried to woo th’ lass…”

―― Kaguya, become my woman!

―― Ufufufufu, please don’t turn about and talk while dreaming unless you’re dead, Gig*lo Dragon

“That’s what I was told. No~, it’s nostalgic! But since then… I couldn’t help myself … I couldn’t go on a rampage in th’ Surface World she fought so hard to protect. Even after she gave birth to a child with a man from wherever… even after she died…”

No, no, no, wait. What? Where the hell should we start to put our retort!?

“Su, such circumstances… then, you… um–, withdrew from the war thinking of the human woman you fell in love with… you’re even called the Dragon King?”

“In th’ first place, I simply enjoyed violent battle against powerful foes. My life was about fighting, drinking, playing with idiots, and flirting with good women. That was all I needed. Even though I was called th’ Dragon King, I had no country or army, I was just called that because I was super strong, and free. In that sense, I was different from Tre’ainar.”

“The Great Demon King…?”

“He didn’t really hate humans. Rather, he had a fondness for human culture and th’ such. However, with his position as th’ ruler of the Demon Realm… th’ wishes of tens of thousands of his subjects were sure to follow… Furthermore, Hakuki, that blasted dimwitted moron, incited extremists and those with a hatred of humans… th’ accumulation of all these forced him to move… I understand that too. Therefore, I didn’t stop him from destroying Shiznautmy. In exchange, I decided not to participate in th’ war, no matter what happened to his Demon King Army. As a result…”

Shiznautmy…… if I remember correctly, it is a magical city that is said to have perished during the war. And the home of Sadiz.

Vasalar seems to have a lot of thoughts about Sadiz…

“I’m done with this sordid excuse for a story!!”

So Vasalar, perhaps disgusted with the atmosphere, forcibly stopped talking.

It was so forceful that I was almost blown away by the scream.

Then he looked at Sadiz again with a grin.

“Then again, you seem to be conflicted in many ways~, even though you seem to have a lot of past sorrows and hatred for Tre’ainar… your feelings for that lad seem genuine~”

Vasalar’s words after discerning Sadiz.

Sadiz was momentarily confused by those words, but then…

“Uh… huh… of course. Liitle man…… is most precious to me. No matter what the Great Demon King Tre’ainar means to Liitle man… of course, I too. I wasn’t able to say that the first time… but I can clearly say that things are different now.”

“Nuwahaha, even though you are still developing, it looks like you’re a good woman yourself, that lad. I wish Kaguya had said that to me! I’m annoyed, so next time I see him, I’ll tease th’ lad. Even though he has a bride, he’s a cheater♪”

Sadiz laughed at Vasalar’s words, wondering if there was anything that came to her mind.

At Sadiz’s expression, Vasalar smiled more cheerfully.

“Even so, I was surprised. To think that the one called the Dragon King would talk about his love affairs.”

That’s what I thought. No, everyone would have thought that.

“What are you saying~? Shouldn’t we chat about love? Love is also one of th’ things that makes life better.”

“”Kokukokukoku””

Shinobu also seemed to be dissatisfied with Vasalar’s words about Kron being Earth’s bride, but she nodded next to me on that point.

Or rather, I nodded. Ah, Rebal too… Tsukshi as well…

“On the point, Tre’ainar wasn’t interested in that sort of thing, even though he was a drinker, but… yesh, I enjoyed my time with ‘that one’~…… even though we became completely estranged…”

“That one?”

“Tre’ainar’s subordinate. There were six of them… and I only had contact with two… Well, I don’t care about Hakuki… but I had great times when drinking with ‘that one’. We had some lively conversations around Tre’ainar~. Well, th’ teasing was pretty twisted, but it was funny.”

Then, Vasalar suddenly looked into the distance again, as if nostalgic for the past… it’s a little different from the feelings for the female hero Kaguya mentioned earlier, as if thinking of a distant friend… Six? That’s……

“Once more, I’d like to have a drink with that one… Norja…”
