The Hero vs The Dragon

Translated by SoundDestiny

“The Adventurers’ Guild and even his own wife – have confirmed that the marriage of Nasser Virginia to his wife Alicia is in doubt!”

The chief priest declares.

“And there should be no such thing as an assault on the righteous and brave Kōji, who tried to impeach him!”

And the chief priest stood up. Pointing at Nasser

“Therefore, Nasser Virginia, you are hereby declared a criminal of the first degree!”

….

“This is ridiculous. ……”

Nasser, who had discovered he was being set up, was no longer in a rage.

He was just frustrated and annoyed.

Disgust and hatred for Alicia, the wife he loved.

And, 

Anger and resentment towards the hero Kōji.

“Kōjii….”

He was asked by the guild to accommodate him, and then he repays it by sleeping with someone else’s young wife?

And then he impregnated her?

And when the husband gets in the way, she gets rid of him….

A Scum, isn’t it?

And they use their power, or rather their position, to the fullest to make up things that are not true.

Even Alicia, who was a good adventurer, has turned into a bitch and humiliated Nasser.

At this point, Nasser’s life is over.

The king, the church – even the guilds are involved.

Alicia, ignoring Nasser’s situation from the start, has been flirting with Koji for a while now.

“It’s over…….”

His spectacular results and achievements as a dragon summoner …

Even after retiring, Nasser has a history and achievements as an adventurer who has been steadily accumulating.

──It’s all over.

The combined and overwhelmed power has turned against him.

There’s nothing Nasser can do about it.

But

But, but, but…! 

Hero Kōji!!!!

You…..

I’ve got to punch that face at least once……!!

“Hmmm……..is it finished?”

Kōji’s skin is glowing from making out with Alicia.

He looked so radiant as he spoke.

He gently stroked Alicia’s cheek, and then gently pulled away from her, carrying a holy sword in his normal clothes.

Look at that face!

Kōji looks so refreshed, like he’s just finished a job.

Nasser looks around him, they’re all smiling and grinning.

“Mmm……and then we’ll see what the sentence is ────”

“It’s treason in the first degree……. But, it’s his first offense, and it’s almost an attempt. Also, he’s made some achievements.”

The king and the chief priest look thoughtful.

“What? Can’t we kill him?”

Kōji  who speak in a light-hearted way, like asking for a fried shrimp.

This guy is ────!

You’ve done so much to me!

I can’t take it anymore……!

I can’t stand it!

“You’re a brave son of a bitch, Kōji. Do you really like using my second-hand? Huuuh?!

(TL: referring to koji using alicia. Alicia ‘second-hand’ slightly damaged goods.) 

Nasser throws an insult towards Alicia and the brave Kōji at the same time. 

Nasser has been living with him for a while.

He knows his character very well.

Kōji is a person full of shitty pride and has a low boiling point. He’s also an idiot.

“What are you trying to say, old man?”

See,he bought it

“I could go on and on about it.My second-hand Alicia, I wonder if it’s in a good shape”

Tsuka,Tsuka,Tsuka(ツカ)

Thud!!!

“Guhh…..”

Nasser almost fainted by the kick to the forehead.

It’s a kick from the Hero Kōji who has bitten on a cheap provocation.

“All right, old man. I’ll beat the shit out of you”

He then kicks the guild master who is holding Nasser in place and forces Nasser to stand up.

“H-hero? What are you doing?”

“Herp, You’re in danger!”

The king and the chief priest are confused by the hero’s actions.

“Hey old man~…… you still think I’m weak like when I started staying with you, don’t you?”

Then he pulled out the holy sword, the treasure of the kingdom, and swung it with a slash.

With a precise trajectory, he sliced through Nasser’s shackles.

“I like it…… If you’re going to get the girl you love, I might as well do it this way.”

Kōji Slanted his holy sword and his pose was as if it were a characteristic of a handsome man. It’s frustrating, but Nasser couldn’t deny it does look good.

“Ora! It’s called a duel! Come on! King.”

Kōji took a sword from one of the guards guarding the perimeter and tossed it to Nasser.

“Hm….Umu. Th-that’s right. You were assaulted…..my life is safe, but the right to duel, Goni~yoGoni~yo”

The king is mumbling something, but neither Nasser nor Kōji are listening anymore.

Nasser, for his part, was able to use summoning techniques more freely now that the shackles that blocked them had been removed.

“Ora! Come and get me, old man!”

Even though Nasser provoked him just a little bit. Kōji had no hesitation to quickly bite the bait.

I’ll show you what I’m really made of.

“Kōji.You….—You don’t know what I’m really like, do you?”

Nasser’s mouth twists into a grimace.

Kōji at least has heard the rumours about Nasser the Dragon Summoner, but he has probably never seen him in person.

This Hero, who was a son of a bitch, even while staying at Nasser’s house from the guild, only accompanied him on his first few adventures, and the rest he did as he pleased.

Even when Kōji was staying at Nasser’s house by the request of the guild, Nasser only accompanied him on the first few adventures and during his freetime, Kōji did as he pleased.

That’s why Nasser doesn’t have enough time to teach him the ropes of being an adventurer, much less seeing Nasser’s real summoning skills.

Then I’ll show you – my summoning techniques!

“I don’t care if you die, okay?”

“Just get on with it, old man.”

Kōji had a relaxed expression.

He thumps lightly on his shoulder with his holy sword.

All right.

Look and be amazed!

This is my summoning technique that has burned down many enemies in the war against the Demon King’s army!

Come on…

“Dragon!!!!!!!”

As if in response to Nasser’s cries, the summoning mark on his chest heats up.

It burns so brightly that it is clearly visible even under the tattered clothes.

The words “Dragon ────.”

And then a summoning magic circle appeared in front of him, and a summoning beast appeared as if springing up from below.

The red body of the summoned beast is ──────.

The Red Dragon, whose main weapon is its breath of fire!

The king and the chief priest, who had been watching the proceedings, shouted in amazement.

“Oh! This is ……” “Oh! It’s brilliant.”

“Heh! Don’t lick me……”

BOOM! and the status of the beast, like a transparent glass plate, was displayed in front of Nasser, telling him that he or she was his strongest summon.

Magic Max Fill──!

Out of the strongest species ──────!

The sight of the dragon before Nasser was enough to make the Kings, Chief Priests and Guildmasters amazed and terrified.

“Hee!”

Some of the strongest members of the Kingsguard were also terrified.

But the summoned dragon was not interested in them as it flapped its wings, hovering in front of Nasser.

“This is my summoning technique!”

The beautiful red phosphorus dragon made a low “kurururururururu” sound and hung its head to Nasser.

“Wow, ……, that’s quite a lizard you got there. It’s a little too cute to be called a dragon.”

Unlike the kings, the Hero Kōji is completely unfazed, and he holds up his sword.

“Hmm, don’t get carried away. ──── Go, dragon!”

“Guoooooooo”

The Red Dragon roars in awe of anyone who hears him. He follows Nasser’s orders and is ready to devour Cage.

There was no holding back.

Nasser is now seriously trying to kill Kōji ────.

“I thought dragons were supposed to be bigger and stronger than this… I’m disappointed.”

In the midst of the dragon’s roar, the unperturbed hero Kōji swung his sword lightly.

“An old man is still an old man. I’ve taken your women, your money, your position. ──── and what will happen next?”

Butsutsutsutsu!!

The holy sword swung down and sliced────── through Nasser’s dragon.

────Eh? 

Im-impossible!! 

My dragon is …… easily!

Nasser’s dragon couldn’t even let out a dying roar and it’s head had already chopped off ──── Nasser couldn’t comprehend what had happened in front of him and dropped  to the ground …….

That was the end of it.

“Aa”

“Alright~….. did you really think you could win?”

The most powerful of the summons, Nasser’s dragon, crumbled to pieces and disappeared into particles of light.

It’s not that they’re dead, but they’ve been created by absorbing the magic power of the magician, and when the magic power of the magician runs out or they’re damaged to the point where they can’t sustain themselves, they disappear.

That’s the end of the duel…….

Nasser’s magical summons disappeared in an instant, turning to dust with his magic.

“Are you finished?…………Bo–ring…”

Nasser was stunned.

He was so overwhelmed that he couldn’t imagine wielding that sword. It was powerful and it was entrusted to Kōji.

“Aa, Aaaa! That’s the Hero Kōji! He dares slay that dragon in an instant!” 

“What a wonderful swordsman! The gods have blessed this man! Thank you, God! Glory to the hero!”

“That’s what I call a hero…… I never thought he’d be this brave. The adventurer’s guild is honored to have contributed to him.”

[[[Glory to the hero!!!!!!]]]

“Kōji is so lovely……”

The King, the Chief Priest, the Guildmaster, the Kingsguard …… and Alicia.

Everyone praised Kōji for his bravery in slaying the dragon in an instant.

Nasser was hit by despair again.

Today, he truly lost everything.

But the despair that even the most desperate shot of revenge ──── was not enough for this man.

“A-A–aa, Seriously, is this the end? Okay!”

Kōji, the heroman, laughs at Nasser while playing with his holy sword. 

“…… King, what are you going to do with this guy?Isn’t he guilty of treason?”

“Ummm…….he has a lot of accomplishments, also has a lot of experience as an adventurer, but, ummm…Chief Priest.”

“Ha..ha….Umm, I think you could kill him.The question of infidelity is, well…”

The two of them are the most powerful people in the world and yet they still couldn’t come out with a straight answer.

Nasser’s life is at their mercy.

Perhaps they too are hesitant to execute a clearly innocent man for the travesty done by the Hero Kōji.

However, it is not out of compassion.

They didn’t want to be responsible for it.

In this country, both the King and the Church have the right to judge people.

The King judges political criminals and those who break the law.

The Church judges people according to religious concepts.

But they are also human beings. From the testimonies from Kōji, Nasser’s wife Alicia, and the rest of the Adventurer’s Guild, all of which were made up, would be obvious to anyone who took the time to investigate.

Alicia’s infidelity is obvious, and it will become even more obvious when the child is born.

If he really has the blood of the hero, the child will have his unique external characteristics.

And it is clear from the revelations in the guild that the hero Kōji is the perpetrator. Despite the guild master manipulating the information, in the end it is just a bunch of lies.

The biggest hole in the game is obviously the adventurer’s guild.

The King, and the Church, in this case, can claim to have carried out the sentence according to the results of the investigation…..but once can never know where something might leak.

“Well, …… my place is a bit of a mess, and the place of execution, …… well, it’s all booked up, so why don’t we do it at the …… church?”

“W-well, I’m in the middle of a bit of an inquisition myself!”

“No, you see, I gave you permission to sell exonerations the other day, didn’t I?”

“No, that’s not what I’m talking about! And that thing is taxed as a king!”

The guildmaster and Kōji  are not happy about it.

Kōji had the crazy idea that he could just kill Nasser quickly. The king is the one who guarantees his treatment, and the church is the one who encourages it.

“Again, I had to force myself to go through all this trouble because of Kōji’s desire for Alicia, but…. I have an idea”

(TL:This is the guildmaster monologue)

“It’s getting a bit tedious, isn’t it?”

Kōji’s interest towards the whole ordeal seems to be waning and begins to prepare to go home.

“But the marriage to Nasser was the ultimate hindrance to his life with Alicia.. Conversely, without it, it didn’t matter whether Nasser died or lived.”

The guildmaster noticed this and came up with a strange idea, which he told the hero.

“Mm, what is it?”

Goni ~yogonyo.

“Seriously? I like that!”

The hero is pleased to hear the guild master’s words. He walked up to the platform and stood in front of the king and the chief priest.

“If he’s a heretic and involved with the demon race, you’ll take away all his rights in the kingdom?”
