Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

The moment I walked out of the alley——

"Well......"

The fragrance from the street instantly rushed into Sieg's nostrils.

It was the aroma of ramen. Perhaps it was because it was noon. Looking around, the entire street outside was almost entirely filled with ramen shops. The aroma constantly wafted out of the shops, stimulating the stomachs of passers-by.

For people living in the area, this smell is part of daily life, but for Zig, who is visiting here for the first time...

"I'm still a little uncomfortable with it, even though it smells nice... Is ramen really that delicious?"

[I can prepare a bowl for Master Sieg later]

"No need, I'll just order it nearby. It's on the way anyway - is it in this direction?"

[Yes, it's the store on your right]

Following Brunhilde's directions, Sieg reached out and opened the sliding door of the ramen shop on the right.

The aroma of ramen inside the store is stronger than outside the store. Behind the counter, the store manager smiled and said, "Welcome! What would you like to order?"

"Um......"

Zig glanced around the store, then sat down at a table and pointed at the person sitting opposite him: "This is my first time here, so I don't know much. Please give me the same one as hers."

"Okay! Wait a minute!"

The store manager responded and started preparing ramen. Opposite to Sieg, the girl pointed at by Sieg was slightly stunned by this sudden situation. She tilted her head in confusion: "Um, who are you?"

"As expected, I can't recognize you in this state. What about this?"

Siegfried put his hand on his throat and said, "Long time no see, Student Council President."

"------!"

The girl—Toudou Daohua—was so startled when she heard the familiar voice that she almost couldn't hold her chopsticks steady. A look of shock appeared on her face: "Qi, Qige-san?"

"Yeah, it's me. Are you surprised?"

surprise?

How can that not be surprising?

In Toudou Daohua's eyes, the current Sieg has nothing in common with his original self. His conspicuous red hair and red eyes have all turned into black hair and black eyes like ordinary Japanese. His appearance has also become ordinary, and even his voice has changed!

But apart from that, what surprised Dongtang Daohua even more was that she could actually meet Sieg here?!

"According to Miss Brunhilde, my appearance is well known to everyone. If I show up directly, it will probably cause some trouble. So before coming down, I used magic to disguise my appearance."

"But I really didn't expect that you, the student council president, actually went to Fukuoka to eat ramen even though it's still the school term. Is your attendance rate okay?"

"..."

Listening to Zig's familiar words, Dongtang Daohua was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "I am no longer the student council president, Zig. I stepped down not long after the third semester started. Now the new student council president is a sophomore... Well, I guess you don't know him even if I tell you."

"Besides, there isn't much to study in the third grade, and today is Saturday, so there's no problem for me to go back to my hometown. But you, I didn't expect you to reappear, Sieg. I thought you had already..."

"I was quite surprised myself. Who would have thought that I slept for three months?"

Ziggy smiled.

At this moment, the store manager placed a bowl of ramen in front of Zigg: "You ordered the pork bone ramen, please enjoy."

"Thank you... Uh, Student Council President, is there anything particular about eating ramen?"

Sieg picked up the chopsticks and asked before putting them down: "This is my first time eating ramen. There shouldn't be any special way to eat this dish, right?"

"It's your first time... Then let me teach you how to eat authentic ramen."

“Is there a difference between authentic and inauthentic ways of eating?”

"Of course!"

For some reason, although he could understand the meaning, Sieg felt that there was something in Dongtang Daohua's words that he couldn't understand.

————————————————————

For his first meal of ramen, under the guidance of Toudou Daohua, Sieg spent a full hour eating.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Dongtang Daohua taught him a particularly troublesome way of eating. It’s just that he added noodles several times. After all, compared with his appetite, a bowl of noodles was really not enough.

After lunch, Sieg and Toudou Daohua went to a nearby outdoor park together.

"Well, let's just stay here. We just had lunch, so it's not good to walk too much. Do you think the ramen is delicious, Sieg-san?"

Leaning against the swing in the park, Toudou Daohua asked.

"Not bad, just a little small."

"After all, you have a big appetite..."

Dongtang Daohua smiled slightly, then took a deep breath.

Hey!

Footsteps sounded softly in the park, and as chestnut hair floated past his eyes, Sieg felt a rush into his arms.

Dongtang Daohua, who was standing not far away in the last second, has now thrown himself directly into his arms.

Embrace?

No, it's not——

"...It hurts, Student Council President. I just ate, please stop hitting my stomach."

"This is a return gift."

Dongtang Daohua held Sieg's belly with his fist and twisted it a few times: "You caused so much trouble to us and this planet before... Although Miss Brunhilde and Miss Em said everything, I still want to hit you hard no matter what."

"You are such an idiot. I have told you so many times that I can help you, but you have never been willing to accept help and have always been holding on by yourself..."

His head was pressed against Sieg's chest.

Dongtang Daohua's voice unconsciously took on a hint of tears.

".......Feel sorry?"

After a moment of silence, Zieg apologized uncertainly: "I just feel that these matters are still within my scope of handling, and if you, the student council president, want to get involved, it will be too dangerous for you."

"...You really don't reflect on yourself at all."

Looking up, Dongtang Daohua looked at Qige with some helplessness and annoyance: "However, if you can reflect on yourself, then you will not be yourself anymore - anyway, welcome back, Qige classmate. Long time no see."

"Well, long time no see, Student Council President."

152. What will happen next

"How dare you, you bastard, come back——————!!!"

After a while.

After sending the message that he had returned to the people he knew, and returning to the Pojun Academy in Tokyo with Toudou Daohua through the teleportation device, Sieg had just opened the door of a meeting room that served as the gathering place.

Along with the roar from above, the world's third-best player landed a violent flying kick directly on Zigg's face! He was sent rolling out like a tire before he even stepped through the door!

"It hurts, it hurts..."

Covering his face, Sieg looked at the person who kicked him: "As a greeting, isn't this a bit too exciting, Yasha-hime?"

"This is what you deserve, you bastard!"

Sitting on Qi Ge's chest without any hesitation, Xijing Ningyin grabbed his collar and showed a ferocious and fierce smile on his face: "I miss you so much~~~ You started a war on your own, and then disappeared for more than three months after it was over - this time, even if the king of heaven comes, I will kill you! You won't be able to get out of bed the next day!"

"Stop it! You moving public indecency!"

Xijing Ningyin was about to eat Zigg alive when a knife-like hand landed directly on her head.

Shinguji Kurono, who was still wearing a suit as usual, held a cigarette in his mouth and lifted her up: "You guys who only know how to talk nonsense should stop yelling here every day. I think even if I put you and this guy in a room, you still can't do it in the end, right?"

"Xiao Hei~~~! Don't stop me! I still have to settle accounts with him!"

Xijing Ningyin, who was held in the air by a sheet, started to throw a tantrum, and Shinguji Kurono did not tolerate her and threw her back into the conference room. Then she stretched out her hand to Sieg: "Get up, Sieg. Welcome back. It's been three months. I thought you had left us."

"Not yet. I plan to stay here for more than a year. Long time no see, Chairman."

Zieg stood up, holding her hand, and led her into the conference room.

There weren't many people in the conference room, but they were all people Zigg knew, except for the three people he had already met.

"Ouma, teacher, Ms. Tina, Ms. Stella, Ms. Sarah...it's been a long time since we last met."

"You've been away for too long!"

The Red Lotus Princess - Stella Famillion - stood up first, walked up to Sieg, put her hands on her hips and glared at him: "Moreover! After you came back, you actually went to find the student council president first? I should be the first person you should look for!"

"I really can't think of a reason to come to you first." Sieg said, "After all, you have been staying in the deepest part of the Klinshid, and your safety is absolutely guaranteed. But the student council president was seriously injured by me before, and I have to confirm her condition first - even if this is excluded, I am going to look for the teacher and Miss Tina."

"If I really want to find you, you will be the fourth one."

The well-reasoned rebuttal made Stella's face turn red with anger. If there weren't so many people here, she would probably have planned to use [Heaven-Burning Dragon King Flame] directly on Sieg.

After taking another look at the situation in the conference room, Sieg suddenly noticed a problem: "Kurotetsu... I mean, where are Wang Ma's brother and sister? They are not here."

"As for Black Iron, it's in Shenzhou now."

Shinguji Kurono explained: "After the war, he applied for a long vacation like you and went to participate in Shenzhou's [Fighting God Cup]. Although there is still some time before the event, he seems to be planning to practice in Shenzhou for a while before that. I guess he is in some deep mountain forest now?"

"I see... No wonder he hasn't replied to my messages."

Although it is easy to find Kurogane Ikki and Kurogane Shushizuku through the Crimsyl, since he is practicing, it is better not to disturb him.

After stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, Shinguji Kurono said, "Well, let's stop here with the welcome and greetings for your return. Looking at you now, I think you know that you are not someone who can appear on Earth openly now, right?"

Because of the Alien War that was provoked, coupled with last year's Flame Beast Riot, even though the reasons were all made public at the World Conference where the Peace Treaty was concluded, only the top leaders of various countries knew the inside story. In the eyes of the general public, Sieg is still the alien invader who wanted to conquer the world.

If he casually walked onto the street with his original appearance, he would cause panic in a matter of minutes - he had surpassed his teacher and became the new "World's Most Vicious Criminal".

In this sense, Sieg's goal has really been achieved.

His reputation in the world is almost equivalent to that of a tyrant.

"After you disappeared for three months, you suddenly informed us that you were back... If you were expecting us to hold a welcome party for you, you're going to be disappointed."

"I didn't plan on that."

Sieg shook his head. "I am aware of my position. The current situation is no different from what I expected. I have already prepared myself to live under this position. The main reason I came back this time is that I want to tell you all - especially those of you who have some contact with me."

"As everyone knows, I am from another planet. Due to some personal reasons, I am currently traveling through the universe on the Clinshid with Miss Tina and others. This planet is my first stop. According to my plan, I plan to live on this planet for about three years."

Three years.

Zig came to this planet around the beginning of April last year, and now it is the end of November, which means...

"Are you going to leave this planet in April next year?"

"Yes. This was also the arrangement I had originally made after the war ended. On the surface, I, the [New Tyrant], would be like the previous tyrant, hiding in the darkness, not caring about worldly affairs, and leaving all matters to my agent. And I had originally planned to ask the teacher to take on the position of agent."

Ziggy looked at Edelweiss.

Hearing him say this, Edwards frowned slightly: "[Originally]? In other words, you are planning to let someone else take over now?"

"...If you are unwilling to take on the role, then that is naturally the case. However, before you make a decision, I have something else to say to you and everyone else."

After a pause, Sieg took a deep breath:

"I want...teacher, you and I to leave this planet together."

"I would like to invite you to become a member of the Clinshid, just like Miss Tina."

153. They are close friends

Leave this planet with Sieg?

Hearing his disciple suddenly say this, Edwards couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but after calming down -

"...You would ask me for something like this. Could it be that...it's related to your future self?"

"Eh? Teacher, how did you know?"

"Because I had noticed something before."
