Chapter 16: The Anger of Dragon God

The search for the criminal has begun.

For me, Every big incident always started with a search for criminal.

I said so but, It's still the second time though.

 

Then, the existence who sneaked into the dragon world, passing through the eyes of the dragon tribe and went to the dragon god's mansion, and on top of that tried to kill Lunaria and eventually the son.

Is he going to be hard to find?

It certainly is easier than finding a demon in the whole dragon world.

 

After all, one who could do this is very few in number.

Unlike Crystal’s case, it was a daytime incident and happened in the town.

Besides, I also have the power of the demon eye.

There is no reason for me to not be able to collect evidence.

 

Just like that, Evidence was gathered in no time.

Easily, It’s gathered.

It’s not befitting for a case where a person that could be called as the most precious person in the Dragon World is killed

It was so easy that it was strange that no trace was left on the scene.

It seemed to be hidden to some extent, but it was a sloppy hiding method that could be found immediately if you searched for it intentionally.

It’s too easy that I don’t even need to use my Demon Eye

 

Me too, I should have some doubts about that.

Unfortunately, people don't wonder much when things are going well.

That time I think It's natural for it to work because I acted according to the correct procedure.

 

By collecting evidence, the suspects were narrowed down.

But when I narrowed it down, I was stunned.

I reviewed the evidence again and confirmed it many times.

But no matter how much I looked up, the list of suspects didn't change.

 

The meeting was held almost after the information was gathered and the suspects were identified.

 

 

"Are these the suspects?"

We, the five dragon generals, gathered in the meeting room where the dragon god was waiting and presented the contents of each investigation.

All of the Five Dragon Generals had the same suspect on the list.

Yes, everyone came to the same conclusion as I did.

The list contained the names of four people.

 

 Pudoria Dordia

 Nartakiel

 Npadon Ballad

 Kirisith Calisis

 

The first three are probably unfamiliar names to you.

However, with the name of the last person, I think you somehow got the idea.

 

Yes, they are inhabitants of another world.

At the same time, they were the engineers(?) (技術者(Those who make things) I had spent many years adjusting and inviting into the dragon world.

 

"They had gathered in a building and had a meeting a few days before Lunaria was killed. Also, on the day when Lunaria was suspected to have been killed, a suspect who was suspicious of his behavior was witnessed. For that matter, they have disappeared since that day. "

"..."

 

What Szilard's explained is the same as I find.

But I wanted to deny it.

It’s impossible for them to do that.

They came for the dragon world.

They came for all world peace ...

But I didn't have anything to deny the "evidence" lined up there.

Isn't it proof that Kirisis Calisis is on good terms with Lunaria?

No, It’s the opposite.

It can be said that she approached Lunaria because She was trying to cause this incident.

 

"What's wrong with Laplace, you look pale?"

Szilard's words trembled my wings.

If they really committed the crime, It wouldn’t be strange for me to be a suspect as well.

I devised a plan to kill Lunaria, and for that reason, I invited them into this dragon world.

And I didn't have any words to deny it.

Even if I didn't mean it, there was no substitute for me to invite them.

Szilard said to me, who was terrified.

 

"Laplace, I'm not suspicious of you."

It was a reassuring word. 

Looking around, the other Five Dragon generals were looking at me with the same eyes as Szilard.

It's a reassuring line of sight.

 

"You are more gracious to Lunaria than anyone else. Everyone acknowledges your loyalty to the dragon god. You cannot cause that tragedy."

"……Thank you"

 

At the same time I was relieved, I felt proud.

I’m being treated by this prideful Dragon general as an unquestionable companion.

 

"Maybe they tried to make use of you. The criminal knew what you were doing and approached you. They probably were trying to aim Lunaria’s life and put the blame on you."

"But why Lunaria-sama?"

 

 Anyway, I wanted to know the reason.

 Who killed Lunaria for what purpose?

 Are you trying to kill the child?

 I wanted to know the reason.

 

"... It's just a guess, but people in other worlds probably don't like the dragon world to have any more power. In particular, the dragon god married a human god’s daughter and had children. I think this is why. "

"What's dangerous about it?"

"Don't you know? The human race is the weakest, but the speed of cultural development is unrivaled by other worlds. And although the speed of cultural development is slow, we are the strongest race in the individual. The connection between the human race and the dragon tribe is If you become stronger, you can overwhelm other worlds and take the initiative. "

"It's stupid! Did they think that Dragon God was joining hands with human god with the intention of taking over the world!?"

"it would not be strange, for anyone to think that way"

 

Szilard's reasoning didn't convince me.

At least, all the gods I've seen were only thinking about their own world.

There was a bit of insecurity that we could get attacked by another world, but no one really wanted to fight.

If we even try to do this, the wise gods would of course realize it.

This is why I was convinced.

that it is better if the worlds are equal.

 

However, once a clear gap is created, the current situation will not continue.

The upper one may look down on the lower one and treat him like a slave.

If you've taken the lead in avoiding that, it's not unreasonable.

 

"But if that's the purpose, it's a bad move. There's no point in killing Lunaria herself!"

"That's right ... Then, the murder of Lunaria might have been secondary, and the real purpose might have been to kill the child."

"What do you mean?"

"The Son will be the king(/rule over) of both the dragon race and the human race ... No, he could be the Next generation’s god." (peeps refer to gods as human god, dragon god, etc.. he might be referring that the kid could be the god of the whole 6 race instead)

 

The title of the son of the dragon god makes the dragon tribe obey allegiance.

The title of Lunaria's Son makes allegiance obey the human race.

There is a possibility that the Dragon Race and the human race will join hands under the Son.

 

Therefore the assailant tried to kill the son.

However, Lunaria showed more resistance than expected, he couldn’t manage to kill the son.

Of course, I would have considered killing Lunaria from the beginning.

Even if you kill your child, it doesn't make sense if you give birth to your second child.

 

"I don't care about the reason"

 

It was the dragon god who blocked the words of me and Szilard.

After looking through the list, he looked at Szilard with his sitting eyes and said.

 

"Szilard, what is this?"

"Eh? ... Huh, that is a list of suspects?"

"What I ordered you"

"The criminal ... oh"

 

Szilard realized his blunder.

It is not the suspect that the dragon god told me to look for it. The criminal.

In other words, we were not able to complete our mission.

 

Normally, Dragon God wouldn’t point that out

But, Dragon God on that time is different

He has a face that basically says that if we don’t bring the culprit now, we'll have ourselves torn to pieces..

 

“I beg your pardon”

 

In an instant, Szilard gave the most respectful bow.

With a look that’s willing to die, he has advised the dragon god.

 

“From now on I will travel through each world, find the criminal and drag him here”

“Wait”

 

Dragon God sent a keen eye to Szilard, who tried to scream and jump out of the conference room.

Szilard was trembling.

The Anger continues.

No one can take his gaze head-on and stay calm.

Even if it is the Five Dragon General.

 

"Szilard, is the criminal among the list?"

"Huh! I think it's highly possible!"

 

The dragon god seemed to be thinking about something.

Is it another reason why the criminal killed Lunaria?

Or is it a way to find the criminal ...

However, nothing came out of his mouth.

For a while, he looks on the list with the looks that seems to want to burn everything.

As if he wouldn’t forget the name on the list even if he dies.

 

“Hm”

 

At last Dragon God raised his face as if he realized something.

Did you realize something?’ We saw the face of Dragon God with that in mind.

However, Dragon God looks back sharply on something behind us.

 

“Do you have any business?”

 

The dragon God said that and finally realized.

There’s a lone man was standing all along.

His presence was so thin that we not sure whether he is there or not.

Only on place around him, somehow it looked a little distorted.

It’s as if he has always stood in our blind spot.

 

“Is it that strange that I came?”

 

He had a slightly different atmosphere than when I met him before.

It seems that he’s being angry somewhere in his heart.

Well it’s nothing surprising.

 

“Do you think that I will just stay silent if my daughter gets killed?”

 

Yeah, He’s the Human GodHe’s the father of Lunaria.

 

“You're probably planning on taking revenge, don’t you? Please, I want you to let me in. Us Human Race indeed does not have the strength, But we have the wisdom”

“...”

“I beg on you, let me help you on this. Can I?”

“Nah, your help would be useful”

“Can you let me see the list?”

 

The Human God says so, and without waiting for a response, he picks up the list on the table and looks at it.

He reaches his chin and making a pose that’s saying He’s thinking.

 

“Hmm… As expected, This four world huh.”

“Do you have something in mind?”

Without thinking I said so.

Then the human god turned on me as if he just listened to me.

“Yes, I think you’re aware that this four world is in a terrible state with each other yes?”

“Yeah”

“But, These four world has been quiet for a while”

“But.. that is..”

“Yes, It’s because of your courage to become the bridge among the world, we had made a path among the worlds”

 

After getting complimented, of course, I would be proud of myself.

However, The continuation of his word is something that was the opposite.

 

"But, because of that the studies regarding monster and metastasis become known"

 

It was something that I don't have any clue about.

Regarding Monster and Metastasis, the subject is being studied all over the world.

That itself is something that I aware of.

About Demon race’s research content, I had gone to inspect it a few time myself.

 

However, in fact, at that time, I was ignorant of how far the research of the dragon world had progressed.

To be honest, I thought that the dragon world was similar.

I only heard reports that there were "research results" once in a while, and I didn't know how much results were actually achieved.

No, if you think about it now, the report may have been hidden to some extent ...

Well, let's talk about that a little later.

I didn't know about this time.

 

“I bet that they’re surprised. The Dragon Race, whom all this time had nothing but power, having this length of technology. They thought that perhaps, it’s actually us who’s been the mastermind of the transfers of magical beasts.”

“What the hell is that!?”

 

No one answers my question.

But Dragon God, and 5 Dragon General all have terrifying expressions.

It’s a face that realized something horrible.

 

“Why did Lunaria get killed”

“Probably Lunaria-sama accidentally knew what they knew, and they too at the same time know that fact”

"……"

 

It was known that she knew the secret.

After that, while considering their future fate, it’s not weird to kill her now.

 

I still don’t know what they are talking about.

However, it's not weird for Dragon God and 5 Dragon general to be the culprit of monster and metastasis.

But I did not convince with just that.

“I see, They stole our research and concluded from the progress that it’s the cause of monsters and metastasis, and also killed Lunaria-sama and tried to get their hand on my son.”

 

The dragon god quietly said so.

However, his voice makes the room’s temperature seem dropped.

It was a terrifying word.

It’s as if the dragon god's anger leaked out of his mouth.

 

“This is rubbish”

 

At last Dragon God jumps from his chair and said that

Then he off to the exit while being angered

 

“Where to?”

“Going from the top”

 

No one could understand the meaning of the word.

Both me and Szilard.

Dora, Maxwell, and chaos.

 

No one understands
