A crimson red carpet is laid out on the marble room.

The paintings that decorated the walls and the chandeliers on the ceiling look like something that is so expensive that your eyes will pop out if you look at the cost.

In a large room that could hold a big banquet for hundreds of people, Otchan and I are kneeling down.

The Dragon King is sitting a few meters ahead of us.

I took a little glance at him sitting on a throne the moment we entered the room.

The Dragon king was… someone who looked like a young man in his twenties.

No, not just young.

「You can raise your head. If you stay like that, your shoulders will get stiff, right?」

A strangely high-pitched voice with a light tone.

When I raised my head, a ridiculously handsome man was there.

With a black suit and a purple gala cutter shirt.

Along with silver hair with gold symmetry…… he is long haired too.

「That outfit……?」

「There is a part of your memory where there is no magic barrier protecting it, I read that part. And maybe, you understand my sense of fashion, right?」

His hair is slick and waxed, and it looked like a super sa*yan.

He also has a jade colored right eye and a red colored left eye.

There is also a fragrance of rose perfume drifting in the air.

It’s like a visual kei, or something that appears in a game. If I were to say it frankly,he looks like a host club host.

「…… Tokyo’s Shinjuku, no, Kabukicho’s sense of fashion…… Well, I think it suits you.」

I mean, he is a ridiculously handsome guy.

It would be painful to look at a normal guy or an ugly guy looking like that, but if it’s a real handsome guy…… it is still a fact that it’s a horrid thing though.

Nodding greatly, the Dragon King laughed happily.

「This kind of fashion is a bit excessive…… it’s too far in the future of this world that it looks kinda strange. Inevitably, this is just a good hobby of mine…… there are only few people that understood its beauty anyway.」

「Of course. So…… how did you get those?」

「Drifting things…… the souls of people like you who arrived in this world…… we call them adrift.」

「…… And?」

「Sometimes you see, it flowed here you know. And luckily, I was able to pick it up. A whole suitcase that seems like it’s for a long trip…… and there are like 5 of those.」

「Maybe there was a trip between hosts or something.」

Nodding with a smile on his face, The Dragon King urges me to stand up again.

By the way, Red Dragon-otchan still has his head down.

「Then, can you show me your status plate.」

When the Dragon King received my status plate, he looked like he was surprised by it a little.

As evidence for that, his eyebrows furrowed a bit.

「MP is over ten thousand huh…… I see. I have lived for thousands of years but…… I haven’t seen these kinds of numbers for a long time…… It is also very unlikely that a human child will reach this number except if they are reincarnated people.」

「You know the method to do it?」

「One of my old friends…… there was someone who tried the same thing as you…… Well, his occupation isn’t villager though…… but still, level 1 huh…… Naturally, your aim here is perhaps…… the Blessing of The Dragon.」

「That’s a good discernment. I needed the most effective blessing from the Dragon King.」

The Dragon King shrugs his shoulders.

「A wisdom skill to read rare and forbidden books…… huh. Geez, it’s really convenient skill, isn’t it?」

「Yeah. Most of my first life in this world was spent collecting knowledge with that skill.」

「Nevertheless, you should only be able to remember important points of your memory…… you abandoned that skill on your second life here huh……」

「And, my aim is not just the Dragon King’s Blessing.」

As if telling me that he can figure it out on his own, the Dragon Kings stopped me with his palm.

「It’s the Great Library right? Ahh, I see, I see…… I’ll give you the permission to read all the books there.」

And there, Red Dragon-otchan, who was still prostrating, raised his voice all of a sudden.

「Dragon King-sama?! I am currently guaranteeing the identity of this person but…… But if something were to go wrong in the library…… I won’t be able to handle it…… 」

「Ahh, about that, huh?」

With a grin, the Dragon King continued his words.

「About the guarantor of this human’s identity…… from you, Red Dragon…… I’ll change it to me.」

A surprised voice, almost like a scream, leaked from Otchan’s throat.

Then the Dragon King continued his words.

「This person’s bracelet…… I’ll gives him the same authority as a dragon…… apart from that, let’s officially welcome this person as a young dragon.」

Otchan, who was kneeling until now, raised his face.

His mouth is repeatedly opening and closing, and when I look, his expression looks blue.

I was so surprised by Otchan’s reaction that I instinctively asked.

「What does that mean?」

Otchan raised his voice again in a strained voice.

「It’s an unprecedented special treatment! No just a residence permit…… but accepting you as a complete resident…… that is what Dragon King-sama is talking about!」

I see.

　Not just as honorary whites, but treated as a completely white person huh…… I suppose that’s what it means.

「――By the way」

The Dragon King said to Otchan with a threatening tone.

「I didn’t tell you to raise your head, you know? Do you want to die from lèse-majesté? Or are you strong enough of a dragon to speak to me in an equal footing?」

To the Dragon King that said so with a big smile, Otchan took a dogeza posture at mach speed.

……I see.

I was fooled by his frank atmosphere and light tone.

Maybe this guy usually has the dignity of a king…… just that he’s in a strangely light hearted mood right now.

If I were to get him angry in his usual state, I would instantly be turned into charcoal.

Well, it’s not like I can stop my casual speech.

「So, I got a special treatment apparently…… why is that?」

「First, your status…… albeit crooked….. In one department that is MP and MP only, you exceed even me. And as that is the case, I will have to show you respect for that.」

「Is that how that works?」

「It is. That’s what it means to respect strength. Even though I’m more of a melee fighter…… well it is how it is.」

So for example, in something like a school exam…… It’s like someone who got a perfect score in math, but is in tatters with the rest of the subjects, has their ability in math acknowledged by the person who got the highest overall score in the grade.

Well, I can somehow understand it if I think of it that way.

「Oh, by the way」

「What is it?」

「You are living your second life in this world, right?」

Just what is this guy planning to say?

「…… Well, that is right, so?」

「Yes, that is right. And that is the other reason as to why I’m giving you special treatment. Your own existence has already shifted the defined fate of this world to ruin. Are you aware of that?」
