“TRANSLATOR: Anargya”
“EDITOR: GhostApe”
「Will it, be okay?」
In the cave, the Hunt God is worried about the situation.
His disciple, the monitor lizard, seems to have been safely released from the Evil Dragon’s magic power, but the battle isn’t over yet.
There, the Hunt God quickly held up his bow.
He felt an evil sign invading the cave.
Turning around, a purple soul-like object is floating at the entrance of the cave.
「Who are, you?」
『Don’t make me out as someone cruel. I just came here to see my subordinate.』
「Subordinate?」
『It’s that silver dragon lying on the ground.』
With that said, the Hunt God just now remembers the dragon’s existence. He didn’t move at all like a corpse, so he forgot about him a bit.
The Hunt God kept his guard up while holding the bow for a while, but eventually put away his bow.
「Sure.」
『Mu?』
「From you, smell like lizard disciple. I’m sure, friend.」
『Wait, who is friends with that small-fish lizard.』
Even while shouting protest, the soul showed no particular harm and approached the dragon slowly.
『Hey, you bastard. It’s been a long time. Remember me?』
「…Kyo, huh. Did you come to laugh at me?」
The dragon that is called――Doradora raised his face.
『No way. Don’t have the time for that. I just came to look for some pawn.』
「…are you going to take over my body again?」
『Who knows? If you managed to overrule the darkness, then you can use my magic power.』
「…Doesn’t look like it’s possible. You didn’t get permission from me before, and yet you took me over quickly… If you want to do it, then do it already.」
The purple soul melts into the back of Doradora, and purple light wraps around his whole body.
『Oh, Dragon of the Wind. Come, let humanity know the violence of the storm. Let me give you the power for that.』
「…Hah. Don’t feel like it.」
It looks like Doradora smiled a little.
「I used to be like that. The incarnation of storm, condemning many people to the crucible of horror. However, there were those who I could never win against. And that’s why, I finally abandoned that path.」
『Hou? Are you going to become a god, used by people like that bow user over there?』
「Not by any means, sorry. I’m a proud wind dragon, I’m not going to get used to humans.」
「Then you are just a fool. No longer a demon, just a lizard that refused to be a god. Are you still refusing my power after becoming such a fool?」
「I’m the wind. I’m not under the control of anyone.」
There was a brief silence, then the soul popped out from Doradora’s back.
The face floating on the surface of the soul is distorted to an unpleasant expression.
『Geez… I thought the inside of that lizard was unpleasant, but I felt more uncomfortable with you. No more. I’ll never be involved with you again.』
Saying that, it goes out from the cave.
The Hunt God decided that it wouldn’t hurt to overlook it for the time being, but Doradora got up. He doesn’t seem to be struggling, and took a firm step.
「Wait, Kyo. What are you trying to do?」
『Mu?』
「Why did you leave me with magic power? And this is… a huge amount. There is no way your reason is to show mercy on me.」
『Idiot. Did you forget who I was?』
「…?」
『I am a proud Demon King Army executive. And you are my subordinate. I just paid the salary I had forgotten to pay with interest.』
We’ll never meet again, Kyo completely disappears while saying that.
Doradora just stood there.
「What are you, going to do?」
Asks the Hunt God. And Doradora turned around.
「What I am going to do, you say?」
「You, stronger now. What are you, going to do?」
「…I’m stronger? Don’t make me laugh. As he said, I’m just fool.」
Doradora looked up to the ceiling of the dim cave.
「But, I don’t think it’s that bad either. The wind isn’t trapped by anyone. Even with a body that is neither a demon nor a god, there should be a sky that can be blown through.」
Heavily and clumsily, Doradora walked out of the cave.
「I’ll fly around a little. Not thinking about anything, just let my heart go.」
The whole body of Doradora began to shine faintly.
The dragon’s body and all its limbs lose substance as it melts, becoming a breeze and bringing a gust of wind into the cave.
The Hunt God who saw him off, nodded to himself.
「As I thought, you’re stronger.」
