The 5000-year-old Herbivorous Dragon

Chapter 102 - Yandere Rabbit

At the same time Sousou ascended to heaven, the barrier began to collapse.

The sky and earth were torn apart, the buildings collapsed and the extras returned to their former selves, faceless mannequins who fell over rigidly.

「Lord Evil Dragon! We need to escape! 」

「Bu, but Rēko’s tension… 」

「It’s true that part is troubling but… Let’s think about it after we leave this place! It’ll be bad if we’re caught up in this! 」

Sheina jumped into the banquet hall and grabbed the spirit, then jumped onto my back and shouted at Rēko who was, even now, still eating her lunch.

「Rēko! It’s an emergency! It seems like we’ve been trapped by a demon’s barrier somehow! It looks like it’s about to collapse, can you escape? 」

「Mu? 」

Rēko, who had bread stuffed in her mouth, replied leisurely and then washed the bread down with milk, resulting in a small burp.

Then she held a large bone with plenty of meat and looked out the window.

「So it’s true that the barrier’s on the verge of collapse… These guys…? Don’t tell me that from the very start that this capital is…? 」

「Rēko! For now, don’t think about it too deeply! Stop your thinking and only perceive the shallow information. So for now, just think about escaping this place! 」

「That’s right Rēko, it may come to you as a shock but for now just put a lid on it. 」

「I see, if even the Lord Evil Dragon’s thought body says so, then I’ll think about it afterwards.」

Saying so, Rēko opened the window and swung her dagger towards the collapsing sky.

Instantly, the cracked ceiling of the barrier was pierced through and a hole appeared. From the other side of the hole came the bright sunlight of the real world.

So that’s the exit, huh.

「Ah, Rēko, the spirit and I can’t fly right? So I think we should ride this Lord Evil Dragon’s thought body to get out, but being only a thought body, flying with people on top would overweight it so can we borrow Rēko’s power? 」

「I understand. 」

Rēko just raised her hand and immediately, wings spread from my back.

「Sheina, it seems like your control over Rēko has gotten pretty good. 」

「Rather, I think Lord Evil Dragon’s control over her is terrible. If Lord Evil Dragon gave her an excuse, she would do anything, why don’t you rely on her more? 」

「If she frequently uses her powers too much, she may get to a point of no return. 」

At that moment, Rēko made a fist and slapped it onto her hand with a “Pon.”

「That’s right, I almost forgot but Raiotto is still here. He disappeared before the meal, where did he go…? 」

Oh sh#t… is what Sheina and I thought as a shiver ran down our spines. We completely forgot about his existence.

「Now that I think about it, he seems to have gone to the toilet. He still hasn’t come out since even before the meal, he’s really taking a long one. 」

「So that was the case. Then at this rate, he’ll be caught up in the barrier’s collapse and die in the toilet, how pitiful. 」

「Nono, he won’t die, just go take him along with us. 」

As I was saying that, Sheina ran to the empty room at light speed and brought back Raiotto.

His whole body was bound in rope and, even now, the sleeping medicine was doing its job and he has yet to regain consciousness. He looked slovenly with a snot bubble enlarging and falling with his breath.

「Raiotto…? That’s a strange way to go to the toilet…? 」

「Rēko, this kind of thing, it’s not polite to dig into it. Mr. Brainwash probably has some complicated reason for doing so. Don’t touch on it. 」

「I understand, I’ll pretend I saw nothing. 」

「What should I do, right now, Raiotto’s reputation has taken a huge blow of disdain. 」

I then convinced myself by saying that it’s an emergency, so nothing can be done.

Even if I resolved this misunderstanding right now, there’s no merit to it. Leaving it as it is should be the most optimal decision.

Rēko decided to spread her wings after Sheina, Raiotto and the spirit got on my back.

Jumping out the window, we head towards the hole in the sky.

「Hah, I wasn’t sure what would happen but it seems like we’ll be able to make it. 」

「Right right, at this rate, we’ll be able to safely leave. 」

I had completely let down my guard as I conversed with Sheina, in fact I even had the leisure to banter around. Rēko then jumped through the hole and I prepared myself to follow after her, but at that moment…

「Ngyahh!? 」

I suddenly collided into something.

It was like an invisible wall was in front of the hole and only refused to allow me entry.

Sheina and the rest were thrown off my back due to the force of the collision and flew straight through the wall and returned to the real world.

—Wait, where’s Raiotto?

Looking back, for some reason, Raiotto was also blocked by the wall. Just who in the world would hold only us two back.

「Lord Evil Dragon! 」

Sheina shouted at me as she was being swallowed back into the real world. Looking in my direction, she hurled something at me with all her might.

And that thing thrown at me smacked into my tail with a “Pitah” sound- it was the spirit.

「Be saf- 」

As she was about to say something, Sheina then disappeared to the other side of the hole.

Because Rēko left the barrier, the wings on my back started to lose magic power and started to fade away.

I then hurriedly lowered the altitude, and landed back to the window of the state guesthouse from where we had left.

That area should be the place where Sousou’s real body is. Just by doing emergency treatment again, I can stop the collapse. After that, I’ll have to convince it to let me out of the barrier.

It doesn’t seem to be evil at its roots.

However, returning to the state guesthouse, I was at a loss for words.

「Revendia-!! How dare you play with my feelings—!! 」

A completely revived and angry Sousou was there.

Now that I look at it, the barrier has already stopped collapsing, the hole that Rēko opened has also disappeared.

Then Sousou turned its sight towards me.

「Nnn…? Revendia…? 」

Sh#t. Our eyes met, I’m gonna get killed.

However, Sousou moved differently compared to expectations. Walking towards the corner of the banquet hall with small steps, they sat down facing the wall while holding their knees.

「So you’re still here, I thought you would be long gone. Did you go out of your way to come back and laugh at me? Fuhn! At any rate, I’m just a lonely little doll~. Not knowing its place and thought the great Revendia paid attention to it, I’m just a clown~. Fine, if you want to kill me, just do it. 」

It’s completely entered a pouting state.

I rolled Raiotto and the spirit onto the floor and plodded toward Sousou.

「Ah, you see, I didn’t really mean to play with your feelings. 」

「I thought it was strange, the one and only Evil Dragon Revendia would be so easily trapped in my barrier. You got me to feel like I had accomplished something and enjoyed the sight of it right? If you want to do something like that, it would have been better to just kill me. 」

「You’re wrong, it’s true that I noticed the barrier but… The meals you made were too delicious, so… it just ended up that way. 」

Sousou’s bunny ears instantly stood straight with a *Pikun* sound.

「Was it delicious? 」

「It was really delicious, I’ve lived a long life but I can say without exaggeration that the meal you made was the most delicious I’ve ever tasted. It’s so good that I would like to eat from now on too. 」

「Forever…? 」

「Yeah yeah, so please be my friend and make meals for me. 」

Sousou stood up from hugging it’s knees and turned to face me, then suddenly jumped onto the tip of my nose.

However, it was wrapped in an ominous aura.

「Of course… Of course I can… Friends… FriEnD… As you wish, I’ll make food for you everyday. In this barrier, for all eternity, for a thousand years, two thousand years, I’ll forever make delicious meals for you… ufufufu… 」

「Ah, I think I just stepped on something I shouldn’t have. 」

Using the way Sheina manipulated Rēko as reference, I racked my brain on how to compliment it to death but the reaction I got was a bit too fierce.

The fake capital was rebuilt at the speed that reflected Sousou’s tension.

「Hey, what do you want for tonight’s dinner Revendia? Say whatever you want. I’ll make your favourite. Ah, but if I only made your favourites, you’ll get tired of it huh? After all, we’ll be living here for all eternity… 」

「Not good, this is… it’s eyes are completely crazy. 」

In the first place, it was hard to tell emotion from the eyes of a doll but now it became worse and the light from its eyes disappeared.

However, at that moment, a voice interrupted our conversation.

「Revendia…? 」

It was Raiotto. He had just woken up from his slumber and heard Sousou call me Revendia.

「Nnn? Who are you? You don’t seem to be an extra that I placed, how are you in my barrier? 」

「I don’t give a damn about something like that, that dragon over there, you’re not a packhorse but the real Revendia? 」

At the same time as he glared at me sharply, a sword appeared before his eyes.

It was the sword that I had stuffed in the luggage. It had teleported over.

Furthermore, just by standing there, sharp wind flowed into the surroundings and cut all the ropes that bound Raiotto.

「This sword- I see now, it responded to my will and came to me. I’m thankful, prepare yourself Revendia - here, I will… 」

Saying so, Raiotto touched the hilt of the sword, then he screamed “Gyaaah!”.

From the hilt came a current of electricity that flowed into Raiotto, who then collapsed.

「What’s wrong with that guy, is he your acquaintance Revendia? 」

「If you talk about acquaintances then yeah, I guess you could say so… 」

As I was left dumbfounded, Raiotto abruptly pulled his body up.

However, his eyes were now stained red, and no matter how you looked at it, it wasn’t the original Raiotto.

「Kukuku… Revendia… I’ll kill you… Blood… Let my blade drink more blood… 」

「This could be the first time that I’ve seen a person so easily taken over by a cursed weapon. 」

It seems his killing intent towards me has been amplified greatly.

Raiotto lost his sanity and turned into a slaughtering machine.

The one who was Raiotto laughed maniacally and swung his sword at me.

「Gyahaha!! It… Ends… here Revendi- 」

「Oryaah! 」

Towards Raiotto’s face, Sousou blasted him with rabbit punches.

Raiotto was blown away into a wall and his sword slid down to the floor. It was a complete KO. It was such a disappointing end.

「Did you see that, Revendia? I awakened to the power of friendship as I prepared myself to protect my friend… 」

「I don’t think it was friendship power, wasn’t that just your original power? 」

Seeing that Raiottos chest still moved up and down, he’s still alive. It’s a great relief that he didn’t die.

「No, let’s start this again. Make yourself at home Revendia, we have unlimited time to spend here… 」

The rabbit doll, who was stuck on the tip of my nose, started muttering about our life plan for the next few thousand years with pitch black swirling eyes.

It seems like there’s no escape.
