Chapter 203 part 2 – Legend Last Forever
「Geez, Rēko. Didn’t you say that you won’t emit your killing intent at the beginning of the encounter?」
「Yes. My deepest apologies. These people seem to have invaded the mountain with profane intentions, so I couldn’t help but be hostile.」
When I was busy eating grass, a man suddenly jumped out of a bush and fainted as soon as he saw me.
The cause for that is needless to be said.
Rēko was sitting on my back. As a greeting, she slammed her killing intent on the intruder.
「Lizard-san. Another strange person came in!」
「Rēvendia! I caught one too!」
「I also made one sleep over there.」
Then in succession, the Saintess, Sousou, and Yoro-san pushed their way through the grass.
「Ah, sorry about that everyone. Will the person who caught them deliver them to the foot of the mountain please?」
This was my daily routine these days.
The story that “ The Evil Dragon Rēvendia defeated the Demon King, but weakened enough that he was defeated by Peryudōna” spread in the streets, saying that I no longer existed.
Thanks to that, however, poachers seeking a rare beast which is me began to step into this mountain one after another.
The days when Rēko and friends who come to play would catch them occasionally.
「By the way, Dragon. Will you accept my revenge match today?」
「Ah, I’m sorry Yoro-san. I’m not feeling too well today, so can you wait for another 30 years?」
「Mu. I don’t want to do it with you who aren’t in perfect condition. It can’t be helped. I’ll wait for that time.」
The Saintess, Sousou, and Yoro-san are free on a daily basis, and each of them appears on this mountain once every two days. It’s not uncommon that they get together this way.
However, in addition to this, there was another visitor today.
「There are four people today, huh… There’s many as usual.」
It’s Ariante.
Bushes were slashed with a big sword and she appeared from the mountain road without any effort.
「Ahh, that’s rare. You also came to play today.」
「I didn’t come to play. But I have something to talk with you about.」
It was the guild’s emergency warning poster that Ariante took out and spread from her bosom.
「Recently, these areas are designated as a demon den because all the people who stepped on the mountain have had their tables turned on them. An investigation team will be formed soon.」
「It doesn’t matter even if it’s a military expedition. I’ll erase them all.」
「Rēko. As I always say, don’t ever think about it.」
Ariante folded her arms and laughed a little before nodding.
「Leave this place for a while until it cools down. It wouldn’t be too much of a hassle if you think of it as something like a continuation of your journey.」
「…But Ariante.」
「Don’t worry.」
Ariante continued her words as if she had foreseen my concerns.
「In the village at the foot of the mountain, Raiotto is taking care of the shrine. When he comes back, Raiotto will know right away.」
「… I see. So Raiotto is back.」
I am living on this mountain because I was waiting for the fake kin’s return.
He said that he will come back. May he come back sooner.
「… He should be able to revive soon, but what is that kin No.2 doing?」
「Well, that person also needs some time to organize his mind… We’ll just have to wait mainly.」
However, if Raiotto is waiting for him, it should be okay if I were to leave this place for a while.
It’s not a good idea to stay in this mountain for a long time and make a lot of noise. I look back at Rēko sitting on my back.
「Then Rēko. Should we travel for a while? It doesn’t have much purpose anymore… Still, isn’t it fun to meet various people?」
「Yes. Where Evil Dragon-sama goes, I will follow to the ends of the world.」
The trip with Rēko was difficult, but it was much more enjoyable than the lonely life I’ve had so far.
Therefore, the trip ahead must be a lot of fun.
「But Rēvenida. Don’t cause trouble at your destination.」
「Haha. It’s okay. There are no Demon Kings or enemies anymore, so even if you say that, there won’t be many troubles.」
The slapstick so far was also fun when I think back to it.
To be honest, there is some loneliness in the fact that it won’t happen anymore. However, the world has never been more peaceful now.
Let’s say that I will enjoy the journey with Rēko peacefully.
「Well, don’t worry. If we have any trouble, I’ll talk to you right away.」
―――――――――――
A few days later.
『The Asga Kingdom is destroyed! The Evil Dragon Rēvenida is alive! The royal capital has become a sea of fire! Is there a way for humankind to build up again!?』
At the temporary dormitory in Peryudōna that is under reconstruction. The command tower at the top is Ariante’s room, the leader of the city.
There, she opened an article on the front page of the newspaper, and Ariante fell silent.
Me, who has become mini size due to the effect of the medicine, is sitting in front of her――
「Tehee.」
At the same time, I felt an iron claw on my face.
「I told you to go on a trip, but I don’t remember telling you to make such a fuss. What happened?」
「It-It’s different. Newspaper articles are on a parade of misunderstandings and exaggerations… Actually, there is actually no human damage… Well, the royal capital did become a sea of fire.」
「Then what really happened?」
「It’s all about unfortunate coincidences, unexpected troubles, fateful mischief, and Rēko running wild…」
While I and Ariante were arguing, Rēko is straddling my back with a *doya* face.
「The majesty of Evil Dragon-sama confuses many people. It is inevitable that there will be a fuss that overturns the heavens and the earth everywhere…」
「So, what actually happened, Rēvendia?」
「It seems that since the Demon King is gone, the battle for supremacy for the demons has begun. Furthermore, the king of Asga and their sister are strange people, which causes great trouble. 」
It is very difficult to explain the situation in one sentence.
However, it seems that I can assure that peace will not come to me in the near future.
「Now, let’s go around each place in this condition and get all the countries in our hands. Now that the Demon King is gone, no one will block out world domination.」
Rēko is frolicking on my back, having the utmost fun.
I wonder if this child really understood what I wanted to convey.
Even so, while I look like I’m lamenting, I’m sure that I was having fun.
I’m not alone anymore.
It will be noisy and fun to do stuff with everyone in the future.
「…Thank you.」
I gently thank the gentle lie storyteller who has made such a present.
Rēko, was about to flap her wings to her next destination.
Yes. My deepest apologies. These people seem to have invaded the mountain with profane intentions, so I couldn’t help but be hostile.」
When I was busy eating grass, a man suddenly jumped out of a bush and fainted as soon as he saw me.
The cause for that is needless to be said.

「Lizard-san. Another strange person came in!」
