"That's what you said, isn't it, Hajime-dono?"

"...That's right. So, Will, don't die today, and then realize the meaning of surviving today in the future."

"Of course. I can't just leave my mother to die."

"Your Oedipus complex remains the same."

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, little dog. My wife (Saria) is so charming that it's giving me a headache."

"Your son is just like you."

At this point, everyone in the conference room burst into laughter. In such a cheerful atmosphere, everyone spoke one by one, as if to answer Pope Simon's question just now...

"Nan Yun Shi, please don't mess up. Our empire will completely defeat the enemy on earth."

"Our fate is in your hands. Please, Nagumo Hajime."

"Leave the earthly affairs to me. I will never let the evil god have his way."

"You are one of Jin and other adventurers, and you will write a great chapter in the history of the guild."

"The doctrines and teachings of God offered by the Church need a complete overhaul, don't you agree, 'Son of Rebellion'?"

"Boss, this battle will surely become a legend that will be passed down through the ages. Although we're not on the same battlefield, I'm truly honored to fight alongside you. Let's shake things up!"

Jaharud, Alfrelik, Longi, Barus, Simon, and Cam spoke in turn. Their voices echoed throughout the conference room, their heroic demeanor infecting the others. Each one roared with a fierce, heroic roar, brimming with fighting spirit.

The entire conference room seemed enveloped in a surging heat. Then, a heavy sense of presence suddenly filled the air. It wasn't a feeling of intimidation or oppression, but rather the imposing presence of a god of war or a demon about to descend.

"That guy must die because he angered me. So that the world can continue to see tomorrow. This incident happened just for that reason, nothing else."

His tone was calm, yet it stung. The military meeting was filled with a paralyzing silence. A gleam flashed in Hajime's eyes, like a finely honed sword.

"What evil god, what army of gods? Humph, ridiculous. He's just a vulgar idiot who thinks he's a god. There's absolutely no need to be afraid of him."

These words had a power that naturally stirred one's heart. The resolution to die was filled with an unparalleled fighting spirit.

"Humanity is powerful."

This was undoubtedly humanity's all-out war. A holy war that would go down in legend. A fight to the death, a decisive battle unprecedented in human history.

But──

"That guy will never be able to destroy humanity."

He was so sure of it, as if it were a natural law, an unshakable fact.

Therefore, it was natural to want to believe him. To sincerely believe the words of this man who held the fate of the world on his shoulders.

"Let him see the fear of humans! Their tenacity! Knock them down one by one, and teach them—don't underestimate humans!!...right?"

At first, he displayed his dominance, shocking even leaders from around the world. But at the end, he smiled as if he was enjoying it.

At this time, everyone was still passionate, but after coming to their senses, they looked at each other, and after a beat of time...

Naturally, a smile appeared on everyone's face, the same smile as Hajime's.

Thus, those who shouldered the fate of the world relieved their unnecessary tension. Just as everyone was about to end the military meeting,

“Report!”

A messenger rushed into the meeting room in a panic. Everyone was terrified, wondering, "Has the enemy finally launched a massive attack?!" But...

"Many dragons appeared on the teleportation formation in the square! They claim to be the Dragonoids coming to support us!"

The messenger brought good news. A closer look revealed a mixture of anticipation and fear in his eyes.

"beginning."

"Yeah, she's back."

Shizuku reminded him. Hajime raised the corner of his mouth and stood up.

He was going to meet his last reliable companion.

As soon as I got outside, I saw the sky filled with countless dark shadows.

Because of the backlighting from the artificial lights, it wasn't clear, but it was clear they were all dragons.

Walking out of the fortress and coming to the plain in front, I saw Xia, Kaori and their classmates gathered there.

It seems that they also stopped training and came out to greet us.

However, the large number of soldiers camping on the plain formed a human wall, preventing them from reaching the center of the plain.

Normally, the soldiers would have given way to Kaori upon seeing her. However, because Pope Simon had previously announced that "the Dragon People are not extinct, having fought against the evil gods since ancient times and are our allies," everyone was focused solely on the ground above or behind the wall of people, unaware of Kaori and the others trying to pass behind them.

The people who had been attending the military meeting also began to emerge. Jaharud stepped forward, displaying the leadership of a military leader, and roared. Instantly, the crowd parted like the sea, clearing a path.

At the other end of the road, in the center of the square, there were already several dragons sitting on the ground, looking extremely majestic.

The leader of the dragon group is a black dragon, which makes a particularly eye-catching presence.

"Master, ahhhhh~! Your beloved servant has returned! Come, pamper me!"

As soon as the black dragon noticed Hajime, it instantly transformed back into human form. Tio threw herself at Hajime with a face full of admiration.

Of course, Hajime fired immediately.

Tio's breathing quickened as she leaped up, throwing herself at Hajime like a trampoline. The familiar explosion rang out as a special rubber bullet struck Tio's forehead, sending her doing three gorgeous backflips in the air.

Tio's reaction was also the same old-fashioned one. "Aha! Thank you, Master!" Her moans and thanks echoed in the air, and finally the back of her head fell heavily on the ground in front of Hajime.

The scene was so quiet that even the insects and birds seemed too embarrassed to make a sound.

Everyone was speechless, unable to grasp the situation. Only Tio, who had been shot down, arched her body onto the ground like an arch, her whole body convulsing with joy, her expression dazed and intoxicated.

The sight was extremely disgraceful.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, after three days of punishment... it feels so good. I've been enduring it for so long, but it feels even better... huh!"

"Welcome back, Tio. I'm glad you made it. I never thought you'd be able to transfer here in your dragon form and put on such a wonderful resurrection show. It's really quite something."

The Dragon People were buried in the darkness of history. Carrying their long-cherished wish - "One day, together with like-minded people, we will defeat God", they hid on a lonely island in the far north for more than five hundred years.

Now, they have finally returned to the mainland.

Tio, still panting, rose from the ground without any preparatory movements, her movements strange and incomprehensible. Then, she raised a hand and elegantly brushed aside her lustrous black hair. What a chaotic creature.

"Fufu, isn't that right? I thought I could use this opportunity to boost morale."

After saying that, Tio snapped her fingers, and countless roars echoed from the sky above.

The force was so astonishing that even the atmosphere was shaken.

Then, the six dragons that were waiting around Tio glowed all over, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into six human figures.

The six men were all tall and strong men. Like Tio, they were wearing clothes that were very similar in style to kimonos.

Their hair colors vary, ranging from crimson, blue, amber, dark purple, white, and dark green. They are handsome, and exude an undeniable warrior aura.

They are the Dragon People, the legendary Dragon People, who have come to rescue humanity in this critical moment.

When everyone understood this fact, the entire plain was immediately filled with deafening cheers.

"How beautiful! I wish my father, mother, and all the compatriots who sacrificed in the past could hear this cheer."

"Silly talk. They should hear not such trifles, but cheers of victory, right?"

"Oh, this time the master is right."

Tio hid her moist eyes with a playful attitude. Hajime patted her shoulder gently.

To the two of them, the perverted farce at the beginning seemed as if it had never happened.

While the others still wore expressions of disapproval, a touching atmosphere permeated the two of them. Shia, eyes half closed, stepped in between them. She couldn't let the situation get any more chaotic, she thought.

"Ms. Tio, welcome back. However, I still need to say something. Please consider the atmosphere! Everyone is forced to witness the relationship between two perverted yet natural people, and they are all at a loss as to what to do!"

"Honestly, Hajime-kun is a bit of a pervert too."

"In a way, it was probably fate that Hajime would become Tio's master. Even though the situation just now was terrifying, it felt so natural to me. Habits are truly terrifying."

Kaori and Shizuku followed Shia in her complaints. However, Hajime and Tio still had innocent, bewildered expressions on their faces. It seemed like there was no hope.

At this time, one of the six dragon men came forward. He looked like a strong man in his early twilight years, with crimson hair combed back.

His whole body exudes extraordinary majesty and noble temperament.

Even Gaharud and Ælfrelic seemed intimidated by him.

Like a large tree, its mere presence makes one feel its weight, and one involuntarily sits up straight.

Anyone could tell at a glance that he was the "King".

Only Hajime was looking straight at him calmly. The crimson-haired man noticed this and narrowed his eyes slightly.

His gaze wasn't sinister; he seemed deeply interested in Shi and a little impressed.

However, in an instant he turned his gaze to the kings of various countries.

"Nice to meet you, leaders of all nations. I am the leader of the Dragonkin—Edel Kularus. Facing this great disaster, we, the Dragonkin, have come to fight alongside you. Please look forward to our achievements. And please take good care of us."

His voice was not loud, and his tone could even be described as friendly.

However, even every soldier watching from a distance could hear his voice, and they all felt an incomparable sense of security in their hearts.

Everyone present could feel that his greeting alone boosted the morale of the entire army.

This guy must be incredible...

Although Gaharud and the others didn't say it out loud, the way they returned the gift clearly revealed their thoughts.

"So this is the real dragon man..."

"Wait a minute, Master. What do you mean by that!?"

The man before him possessed immense power, a king who once ruled the world. Yet, as he shook hands with Liliana and the others, he displayed no trace of pride. He was calm and rational, even possessing a tolerance that accepted everything.

No wonder the Dragon People were regarded as role models in the past.

In contrast, this useless dragon among our own people is...

Shia and the others seemed to be thinking the same thing. They all looked at Tio, their eyes revealing infinite regret.

"Miss Tio. That's what I mean."

"What on earth does this mean?! What's wrong with me?!"

"I'm sorry, Tio."

"Why are you apologizing!?"

"I... I don't know what to say..."

"Shizuku, I beg you! Please, say something! Looking away like you're embarrassed is the most hurtful thing! You might as well just insult me!"

"Miss Tio, that's your fault."

"That's right. She's actually quite handsome when she's in her 'normal legendary dragon-man mode (Super Tio-san)'."

"Rin, Ryuutarou... when did your mouths become so mean...?"

Everyone teased Tio like this. At this moment, the blue-haired young dragon man suddenly strode forward, with an attitude of "I can't stand it anymore".

His eyes first glanced around at Kaori and the others, then locked onto Hajime.

"What on earth did you do to the princess?"

The tone was as if he was suppressing his excitement.

With the young dragon man's sword-like emotions pointed at him, Hajime showed a rare look of confusion. Then, he looked at Liliana. Not just Hajime, but everyone present, referring to "Princess-sama" meant Liliana.

The dragon people had never publicly acted in public. Could it be that Liliana was secretly connected to them? At this moment, Gaharud and the others, who had been talking to Edel, also noticed the young dragon's impulsiveness. They stopped talking and looked at Liliana. However, Liliana herself had no recollection of it and kept shaking her head in denial.

"What are you looking at!? Speaking of 'Princess-sama', who else could it be other than our Princess Tio-sama!?"

Upon hearing this, Hajime and the others froze.

After a moment, everyone turned to look at Tio at the same time, their movements in perfect unison.

Tio blushed shyly and looked away. She was as embarrassed as a teenage boy who was called a nickname by his family in front of his classmates.

Hajime muttered to himself.

"Princess... is it a princess?"

Shia muttered to herself.
