Chapter 30: Calamity Dragon Part 1
The world’s strongest dragon Calamity Dragon was looking at me from the summit of the mountain.
Perhaps, it sensed that the humans have come to attack it, so it came to take the initiative instead.
The Calamity Dragon’s body was crimson and his size was around 100 meters I think.
Even from this distance I can understand that it is quite strong.
“Ma, Master…”
“That is the Calamity Dragon…”
“He is ridiculously big…”
“It lacks nothing.”
The girls had their breath taken.
But, among all of us I alone was sporting a smile.
“Master?”
Lucia saw my expression, and cutely tilted her head with a question mark over her.
She couldn’t understand why I was so relaxed.
Elin and Shii, Silvy as well.
“Why, how can you be so calm?”
“To think that his magic power is leaking out and reaching here~”
“Is that the dragon that can ruin the world!?”
They were talking one by one.
“You guys are too nervous. You call it a Dragon but in the end it’s just an overgrown lizard. It’s better to think of this as pest control.”
I declared as if I had no interest.
They instantly calmed down when I said it.
“That’s right. The dragon mattered only that much to Master.”
“If I’m together with Masatsugu-sama then even a dragon won’t scare me!”
“We should be close as much as possible when we fight~”
“As expected from the Savior. Our statuses are too different.”
They said so, but were closely sticking to me.
“Sigh, we’re in the middle of a fight? If you guys are glued so much, then we wouldn’t be able to fight?”
I was amazed by it and asked them
“Is, is it no good? I want to stick close to Master.”
“I also want to. Please allow me to do this!”
“It’s really calming. It’s like heaven~”
“It makes the anxiety from earlier look like it was never here.”
They were saying so and didn’t want to separate.
Sigh, no matter how beautiful they are and haven’t seen level on earth, now we are in a battle so I want them to refrain from this.
Besides, I understand their feeling to depend on me, but they depend too much on me.
It’s inevitable that they are feeling calm around me, when I think about them to be independent later on from the orphanage, I’m troubled since they aren’t able to leave me for even little.
Though because of my power is big, reliable and capability is too much the girls are not responsible for a lot of things.
If I was more like a normal person, because a high-ranking person will always be separated from the normal people and will be isolated.
I’m too excellent.
If I don’t something then the girls won’t be independent from me.
The most ironic thing in my life is that I excel too much at it.
I was thinking about it, I had trouble over how to solve the difficult problem of me excelling too much.
While I was going back and forth in my thoughts, the dragon began to speak in a human language.
“You heroes. Your lives will be used as to remove the seal of the Evil God Ruiku. The altar still needs more sacrifices.”
An ominous voice that echoed among the mountains, and red eyes that glowed. Probable he was laughing.
“Ah~ To think it would be that Evil God~”
Shii muttered something when she heard his words. The other girls were also surprised.
Fumu, I don’t have general knowledge of this world. It seems he’s a famous existence.
Shii looking that I urged her to explain with my gaze she began to explain things.
“It’s an Evil God that tried to destroy the world in age of mythology. Good God Ortiz and his faction fought him but he couldn’t defeat him so Ortiz became the seal of the Evil God. It’s not only the Evil God that’s being sealed but there are also his influential subordinates being sealed. Those that managed to somehow escape are hiding somewhere and waiting for a comeback chance. By the way, I’m also in Ortiz God faction.
Hou, Is that so, I understand now. This time the enemy that has hidden until now has started to move. And so, the reason for this timing is…
“Master, I’ve learned the myth from hearsay, throughout the time that has passed the Evil God’s barrier has been weakening and his revival is conversion of many people. Then he will come and destroy the world. I believed it was just a myth.”
Lucia said that trembling.
But Elin had a rather peculiar bright expression and started talking
“The Elf clan has this handed down. When the time comes and the barrier has weakened so much to his revival, a new hope will be born once again.”
On those words, Silvy got taken back.
“A new hope “will be born” is not nor perhaps the “Good God will come back” but rather the new hope “will come” could be right? Then, the existence who will save the world from ruin could be the being who would finally come from a different world!?”
While saying that she gazed at me with reverence.
Understanding the meaning behind Silvy’s words the other girls sent hearty gazes towards me as well.
I see, that’s what it’s about.
I accepted this with a rather convinced feeling.
My talent and tolerance of others, and the natural virtue that I have so that others can rely on me. Why did somebody like this have to appear in this world.
It’s because it was needed.
The world wish for an existence to save the world and I got elected for the role.
I see, it’s a story that has persuasive power.
But if that it is the case, then I feel like I have done an inexcusable thing to the rest of my classmates.
Probably the kingdom has intended to summon heroes from other worlds so that they can intend to use them against other countries. And coincidentally at the time we also thought that was good if we could be summoned as heroes. But, the truth was that the World’s will in order to summon me, exerted a force that looked completely normal to the kingdom.
The world having no physical body used its influence. Coincidentally there was a hero summoning that was happening so that’s what it used. The Kingdom and us thought it worked because of our will but in reality they were nothing but a stepping stone so that it could summon me. Perhaps the World’s will meddled and created the distress and made the Kingdom desire go to war with the surrounding countries so that it could summon me.
In any case, my classmates got rolled up in my summoning.
They are far from a accessory like a bag being taken but they became trash instead.
I was supposed to live a normal life in Japan, but due to non-standard things around me I couldn’t help but be influenced by them instead.
Honestly there’s no excuse.
I see, It was a predestination for me to save the world.
But, what’s this feeling called though.
I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.
“Ma,master!? Why are you relaxed so much? I understand that having the mission to save the world is a very grave thing, but…”
Lucia was looking at me with jumbled feelings of expectation and anxiety.
That matter is decided.
“Of-course, because saving the world has low priority for me.”
I answered it pretty uninterested.
“Eh!?”
Lucia and the other girls yelled surprisingly.
“Oi, oi? What happened? Shouldn’t it be obvious?”
Conversely I answered amused.
“My duty is not to save the world. It’s to raise all of you up into splendid adults. Compared to that critical mission saving the world means nothing really.”
“Master…”
“Masatsugu-sama”
The two of them Lucia and Elin were deeply moved and looked at me.
“Well, of course if the world is destroyed then managing the orphanage would be a difficult thing. The world will also be saved but the orphanage comes first. I understand the world rests upon me, but I put priority on the orphanage. And if the evil god’s subordinates become a hindrance, I’ll subjugate them as well.”
The girls eyes became wet.
Sigh, putting you girls and orphanage over the world should be pretty apparent.
It’s very important.
While we were going back and forth, the dragon began to speak.
“Kukukuku, I understand, you are the hero that was spoken in the prophecy. But, do not become complacent. I hold the 10th spot in the subordinate ranking beneath Ruiku-sama. I am the dragon that once ruined the northern land. See if you can subjugate me, assassin from different world!”
He said that, and spit out lumps of flame of a very high degree of hotness.
“Elin”
“Y-Yes! Cocytus!”
On my calling out to her she chanted her spell confusedly. A long ice grew towards the flames.
But the dragons flame broke through the manifestation of the ice and came flying towards us.
“As I thought it was impossible for the level of a breeze.”
I murmed my understanding, and picked up a stone from the ground imbued it with magical power and threw it at the flame.
My power and his met at halfway point and clashed and a terrifying surge of power and explosion happened.
If it was an explosion that would happen in the city, then that city would be gone.
“I’ll say this. I’ll use magic too.”
But, the dragon was flustered…
“Ku. The match hasn’t been decided yet!”
He got off the summit and began flying towards us.
Naturally, I loaded one more stone with magic.
