Chapter 79 – Part 1

Having participated in driving back the demonic forces, Selina, Diadora and I were led through to a certain room via Headmaster Olivier’s instructions.

It appeared to be one of many rooms that had been hollowed out inside of Yggdrasil. It was wide enough to fit just about ten people.

Growing directly out of the floor of Yggdrasil were tables and chairs, and on top of the red tabletop was a blue porcelain tea set.

Headmaster Oliver sat down at one of the chairs. There were exactly enough chairs for all of them, and they were encouraged to sit down.

「Please have a seat. I’ve just finished explaining to the chiefs what happened. Yggdrasil, as well, was able to regain its health. See, have a look」

Enough cups to match the number of people here were lined up on the table, and Headmaster Olivier was skillfully brewing a light green liquid in the teapot. Green, white, and yellow particles of light began to appear on the chair to her right. In the blink of an eye, the lights took on the human-like appearance of the incarnation of Ente-Yggdrasil.

Compared to when the tree had first been attacked by Gaban, it can be said that the tree has recovered quite well, regaining color in the cheeks and no longer looking like a sick person.

「We showed quite an embarrassing side of ourselves this time. I want to thank you all once again. In particular, I’d like to showcase Dran.

Thank you for saving us during this dangerous incident, Dran-sama, Selina-sama, Diadora-sama」

Having just materialized within itself, this human-like avatar of Ente-Yggdrasil gave us heartfelt thanks and smiles, while looking at each of us one at a time.

Selina was embarrassed to have been addressed with the -sama honorific, and laughed a little awkwardly. On the other hand, for Diadora, the highest spirit among the spirits of the trees, the spirit of a world tree, had just called her Diadora-sama. She looked frightfully grateful.

Such an expression was quite rare to see on Diadora’s face.

「Hmm, it’s as you’ve said, Headmaster. It’s good to see such a good recovery. The Priestess Princess Ryuryushii must be very capable」

「Yes, Ryuryushii has good compatibility with me, and she’s a girl with a good heart. Of course, all of the Priestess Princesses have been like that for many generations. Olivier over there was one of them」

「Diadora just told me about it a little bit earlier, but Headmaster, you used to work as a Priestess Princess, and not only that, but you are the daughter of the Elves’ royal family too.

There have been many rumors about you circulating at Galois, and it seems they were true to an extent」

「Is that so? I was not trying to hide it, but no one ever asked, so I don’t remember ever telling anyone either」

「So it was because it wasn’t of importance to any of us. But isn’t it because you take on such an attitude, that the students make up rumors on their own, and never stop talking about it?」

「Those are rumors that are being made in places I don’t know about. Besides, the contents of the rumors are not worrisome. Now then, please have a try. It is cooled Aoki Tsukibana tea」

We sat down in the seats that Headmaster Olivier led us to, and we picked up the cups filled with a shaking blue water surface, and brought it to our lips to try it.

An indescribable feeling of refreshingness spread from my mouth to the tip of my toes, running through to the depths of my stomach. I felt like my mind had cleared.

「This is delicious. I see it’s made of flowers found only in Ente Forest」

It has a similar refreshing taste as mint tea, but the sweetness that spread and melted in the mouth for a single moment before disappearing was something else.

I don’t know where in Ente Forest that the plant can be collected, but if I bring it back to Bern Village, and cultivate it on a massive scale productively, then it could definitely become a specialty product.

It seems such thoughts showed easily on my face, and Headmaster Olivier pointed it out.

「You’re making the face of a merchant, you know」

「Excuse me, how rude of me. I just worry all the time about how I will earn money to help develop my hometown」

「The biggest reason you even enrolled in the Academy was because of your hometown, wasn’t it? It is very much like you to do this, but you should definitely rethink your soul」

「Ah, yes, that’s it, Headmaster, Dran.

I’ve already been told that Dran’s soul is that of a dragon’s, but could I hear the rest of the story too?」

At this rate, I guessed that we would end up talking about our life stories. Selina sat up a little bit and blocked off our conversation.

Hmm, she’s become a girl who is able to assert her own opinions now. I am happy about that, Selina.

Anyway, we certainly can’t leave any necessary stories untold.

「Hm, that’s right. But where should I start from?」

「Um, let’s see, Yggdrasil, it seems like you knew Dran, so maybe start from the kinds of people you knew in your previous life?」

When Selina’s question kicked off the discussion, Yggdrasil looked towards me for what to say first. The avatar of the world tree laughed and smiled, words as sweet as honey.

If I had been asked, then Ente-Yggdrasil and I wouldn’t even be acquaintances. But we have many mutual friends, so perhaps she has heard many stories about me?

「Yes, Selina-sama. I have never directly met Dran-sama before.

I did hear about him during his previous life from the other Yggdrasil trees.

And from the appearance and power of Dran-sama when he captured those demons in his hands, I was convinced that he must be the same person.」

「I see. But if you never met him in person, then isn’t there something quite special about him since you were still able to recognize him?」

「Yes. He is the one and only existence of his kind in all the worlds. There is no good god in the heavens, nor any evil god in the demon world, who does not know who he is」

Ente-Yggdrasil gazed toward me with a girlish look, as she relayed the story as if I were a fairy tale-like existence.

In addition, Selina, Headmaster Olivier, and Diadora were all looking toward me.

Apart from Headmaster Olivier, who had a vague idea of my background already, the other two had wide eyes when they heard that astounding piece of information.

「Um, it seems this has become a lot more amazing than I had thought, or maybe the scale of the story has become quite crazy……」

「No, Dran-sama really is a person that great.

Right now, the soul of the person we call Dran-sama, if I am not wrong, he is one of the seven original dragons who were there during the time of the original chaos, the 『One and All』Dragon-sama」

「The Original Seven Dragons are from the myths of genesis, the mother goddess of earth, Mairahl, or the war god, Aldeath; these are the same dragons that appear in those myths and legends? The dragons that are gods, even amongst the dragons themselves?」

It seems Selina couldn’t quite grasp that one part of Ente-Yggdrasil’s story, so she was spouting out the things she knew about my previous life from her own knowledge first.

The one who answered Selina’s words wasn’t Ente-Yggdrasil, but Diadora, who, just like Selina, still wasn’t quite getting it.

「That’s right, it’s as you say, Selina. Even the flower spirits know those names.

They reign supreme at the top of all dragon species, rivaling even the best gods, that is indeed what the Original Seven Dragons are.

But even if it is Dran we’re talking about here, it’s just crazy to think he is one of those dragons reincarnated, there’s just no way」

Even Diadora was having trouble with how to react to the difference between the truth, and her previous expectations or assumptions about me.

It was likely that the residents of earth would have no chance to meet even a lower ranked god in person, so even if they were told that I was the reincarnation of a dragon on the same level or higher than even the highest ranking gods, then maybe all they could think is a mindless, ‘Oh, is that so?’

First of all, I wasn’t really even sure just how big of an existence gods are from a human perspective, much less what they think of the Ancient Celestial Dragons, who have had even less interaction with the human world.

「That reaction is probably normal, you two. Selina, Diadora, there is nothing false in what Yggdrasil said.

Indeed, my name in my past life was Dragon, and yes, I guess it was well known.

Due to the influence of being reincarnated, I have become much weaker, but I still have a lot of my power as an Ancient Celestial Dragon.

When I sometimes reveal powers that no human should be able to have, that’s just thanks to the power I had as a dragon.

By the way, the pendant that I gave to Selina, I made it using a fallen scale from my previous dragon body. I guess it’s the one and only amulet in the whole world that is made from an Ancient Celestial Dragon’s scale」

Selina took out the pendant, which she usually kept hidden underneath her clothes, and stared at the white scale intently as it rested atop her right palm.

When the light hits it just right, it shines in a rainbow color, but it seems like it still hasn’t sunk in that it was a real item of my origin.
