Neta Chara Tensei Toka Anmari da! - CH 35
232 death, 460 injured.
Officially, the ringleader, an ancient demon has been subjugated, while the reason for the intrusion of the dragons was unclear. The hypothesis was they were just unfortunately dragged into the conflict between dragons.
Nacht’s dragon magic was gigantic and could be seen even from the trade city, and thus the people readily accepted that explanation. This was actually done to not aggravated the Holy Dragon Religion. If by chance the news that an existence close to humanity picks a fight with a dragon and wins, just what kind of hell will break loose. Of course, there was a high chance that people won’t believe that, but it still would worsen the impression of the trade city and might invite trouble.
Additionally, Nigurd also feared the Holy Dragon Religion would aggravate Nacht unknowingly.
The one who subjugated the ringleader was not adventurers nor knights, but a third party collaborator has become well-known which none could hide. Defeated numerous enemies, and subjugated the legendary demon race, was the hero of the trade city, a peerless beauty with the name of Nacht.
Of course, it was not due to Nacht’s pettiness, she simply let them deal with it as they like and that was the result.
Fame invites trouble, but Nacht loves attention and dresses like one, so no skin off her nose. If there is trouble, she would just face them head-on.
Nacht has used her true power in front of the people, but most of them were weak, and thus they were either dying, lost consciousness, or were unable to discern anything except dragons fighting against each other. So the ones who were aware of Nacht power still end up in the small minority. Of course, even with that fame, people who tried to find trouble with her in the trade city did not completely disappear.
At the Adventurers’ Guild, people were moving around in a flurry, and the bigwigs, led by Nigurd, were busy dealing with the aftermath. Irina mercilessly beat up Nigurd, who occasionally tries to leave for the dream world. His agony may never end as he continues his work with teary eyes.
Ah right, there should be one more piece of happy news for them.

“I wonder why she let us go?”
“Dunno. None could understand that monster train of thought! But well… no, it’s fine.”
Sakura looked at her master who turned her head as if dismissing her previous thoughts as nothing special.
“…Perhaps…it was the same with how my lady let that man leave?”
“N-no way, that’s stupid. I just thought he has some backbone–no, I just thought that there is no point in killing him, that’s all, hmmf.”
“It’s as my lady says.”
Hearing Linoa’s answer, Sakura did not pursue longer and bow her head as usual.
“My lady…?”
“You, so you could smile like that huh.”
“Eh…?”
Sakura touched her own cheek, but she did not feel any change and tilted her head.
Linoa smiled happily looking at her.
“Fufu, nee, Sakura–it has been two thousand years, I wonder what kind of world we lived in now.”
Her smile when she said that overlapped with a nostalgic smile once she had inside Sakura’s memories.

“Nacht-sama…aa…mmm, it feels good….but please be gentler…”
“Hmm, like this?”
“Yeesh…aah…Aisha is happy~”
Aisha, with completely debauched eyes, rested her head on Nahat’s lap, smiling a little less childishly, whether from a sense of immorality, superiority, or even fulfillment.
The occasional voice that could be heard, “Nacht-sama’s lap~,” must be an auditory hallucination.
In the end, the reward that Nacht’s prepared fall to Aisha’s hand.
At first, Nacht thought that Nigurd who was the overall commander and also worked hard to defeat the demon was the winner, but after receiving a beating from Irina and collapsing, he dropped. Next was Crysta, but after she said she let the enemy general escape and was unable to fight with the dragon, it fall on Aisha.
Although it could not be published and not many actually see the scene, Aisha was stood in the front and fought the dragon, so although it was not publicly recognized her contribution indeed one of the greatest.
Well, in actuality since it was Aisha, Nacht would be glad to let her rest on her lap and pat her head anytime, nevertheless since the girl itself recognized this as a special occasion, Nacht was not so boorish to break it to her.
In exchange–
“–Hey, Aisha–where do you want to go next–?”
Her eyes were filled with excitement that was of a kid.

In the place where the sealed spring was.
Even now, not even a drop of water could be found, instead, small footsteps could be heard.
“Nothing…there’s nothing…”
The small shadow tilted its head.
“Could not finish, the task…will big sis scold me…?”
None answered its question.
“…Let’s go home…Father and Mother… were waiting.”
The shadow that was fallen amidst the light.
The lips of the girl slowly curled into a smile.
