Boy Who Has Been Reincarnated Twice Spends Peacefully as an S-Rank Adventurer

The character name is not finalized. The character name will be fix once the official English translation light novel is release.

After leaving the town of Tatsutron, we landed the Golden Dragon on a rocky area with poor visibility near Dragon Peak.

Then, while hiding, Liliera and the others came from the direction of Tatsutron.

We could also see Ryune riding the Silver Dragon from the sky.

“Good work, everyone.”

“Good work to you too, Rex. You looked cool, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor.”

Liliera grins and teases me for pretending to be the Dragon Emperor.

“Please don’t tease me. That was just acting.”

Yes, after the match ended, worrying about what to do next, we reached the conclusion that we should just have the Dragon Emperor himself cede the throne to Ryune.

And we thought if we say the Dragon Emperor has some amazing mission, it wouldn’t be unnatural even if the Dragon Emperor stops appearing in the future.

Yeah, with this, the identity of the mysterious contestant Tyran remains a mystery!

“With this, are all problems solved… I wonder?”

“Yes! Since Master Rex captured most of the anti-Dragon Emperor faction in the Royal Capital, I think there are almost no people to obstruct me from taking the throne!”

Then Ryune lowers her eyes.

“What’s wrong, Ryune?”

“Ah, no, umm, I heard from the Dragon Emperor faction that the anti-Dragon Emperor faction dominated the main positions in the Royal Capital, so I wondered if the country would be okay even if I ascend the throne…”

Ah, I see. Ryune fears that the national power will temporarily decline by eliminating the anti-Dragon Emperor faction.

“Certainly, if corrupt nobles monopolized the positions, they must have monopolized the know-how of those positions too. Even if decent people take the new positions, it takes time to get used to the work. Especially losing connections with other countries is troublesome.”

Surprisingly, Meguri verbalizes the problem.

“Meguri, you’re knowledgeable.”

“Since I’m a thief, information is important. There are quite a few nobles closely related to the underworld.”

I see, being knowledgeable about noble information despite being a thief is precisely because being a thief makes one knowledgeable about the nobles’ hidden circumstances.

I didn’t have much interaction with the underworld in my previous life either.

“Also, even if I ascend, I don’t know if lords other than in the Royal Capital will obey immediately. Worst case, there is a possibility that anti-Dragon Emperor faction lords will raise a rebellion.”

“Hmm, I think that can be managed if the Silver Dragon is there though…”

“If poisoned or assassinated where the Silver Dragon isn’t present, there’s nothing to be done.”

“Ah, right.”

Hearing Mina’s remark, Meguri points out the problem of relying on the Silver Dragon.

“Hiiiii… A-As I thought, it’s better if Lady Dragon Princess sits on the throne…”

“Oh my, the Dragon Princess is you, Ryune.”

“That is true, buuuut…”

Frightened by Liliera and the others’ conversation, Ryune turns pale and tries to yield the Dragon Princess seat to Liliera, but Liliera refuses with a nice smile.

Or rather, you shouldn’t yield it, Ryune?

“Master Rex—! Isn’t there any good way not to suffer rebellion or assassination!?”

“Umm… then this antidote necklace and… ah right, I’ll give Ryune the command rights to the golems I left for peacekeeping in Tatsutron and the Royal Capital. Since they can work without rest, you can use them as stopgap guards until the country stabilizes.”

“A solution came out casually!? Or rather, is it okay, Master Rex!? Magic items for antidote and golems that listen to humans are incredibly expensive magic items, right!?”

“No no, not such a big deal. Against powerful monsters, they are only good enough to buy time. The antidote necklace also can’t handle compounded deadly poisons, so it’s strictly for peace of mind.”

Yeah, I made them, but I was wondering what to do with that large number of golems, so if Ryune takes them, it’s just right.

I can make antidote magic items quickly if I want to, anyway.

“No, magic items are precious in the first place, but… a legion of golems, that’s treasure on a level where a commoner could instantly be promoted to a Count status!?”

Ahaha, you’re exaggerating.

Golems of this level are used normally for crime prevention in decent countries.

True, in this era, some magic items and magic seem to be lost, but I think they aren’t rare in large countries.

“Yes, if you use this ring, you can give orders to the golems.”

I hand the command magic item I made as a spare and the antidote necklace to Ryune.

“Hawawa… to receive such outrageous things… I’m really indebted to Master Rex constantly.”

Ryune tells me words of gratitude with moist eyes.

“No no, I just returned the principles of the Dragon Emperor Style Sky Spear Arts I received from my master. This is a bonus.”

“Th-The bonus is incredibly huge though… A-Anyway, thank you very much, Master Rex. Someday when Master Rex visits this country again, we will welcome you with the whole country!”

“Yeah, I’d like to decline that.”

“A flat refusal!?”

State guests and such, absolutely nothing good comes of it.

I’m fine with being normal.

And Ryune exchanges parting words with everyone too.

“Lady Dragon Princess too, thank you very much for everything.”

“Like I said, the Dragon Princess is you.”

“Jairo and the others too, as comrades who saw hell together during training, you were truly my emotional support!”

“Yeah! We’re glad we could train with you too!”

“Or rather, we are treated as fellow sufferers.”

“Rather, we were dragging you along though.”

“Well anyway, it’s good we could both survive. Yes, matches and matches and matches.”

“Calm down Norb. It’s okay, you are properly alive.”

I wonder why, I feel a strange weight in Norb‘s words.

“Everyone, thank you very much! It is regrettable to part, but it seems administrative affairs are starting to be hindered due to the capture of the anti-Dragon Emperor faction. So to stabilize the Royal Capital, I must go!”

Since Ryune declared herself the legitimate successor of the Dragon Princess, it seems the Dragon Emperor faction people contacted Ryune.

Well, the Dragon Emperor they intended to carry as a figurehead flew away somewhere, so they have no choice.

“Please do your best, Ryune.”

“Yes! Regaining the throne was the dearest wish of generations of ancestors! I will do my absolute best! Thank you very much!”

Ryune mounts the Silver Dragon while thanking us repeatedly, says thank you once more at the end, and flies towards the Royal Capital.

Watching until the figures of one person and one animal disappeared, we turn back to the Golden Dragon saying it’s our turn now.

“It’s time for us to part too, Golden Dragon.”

“Gururururu…”

The Golden Dragon lowers its head regretfully.

“I’m not the real Dragon Emperor. I think we should part for when you meet the real Dragon Emperor someday.”

“What’s with that line like a couple breaking up?”

“Moreover, sounds like a man’s unilateral convenience.”

Sorry people in the back, please don’t tease me too much.

“…I think we should dissolve the Dragon Knight contract so you can meet the master you truly serve.”

“Ah, he rephrased it.”

“Gururu…”

The Golden Dragon lowered its eyes for a while, but perhaps pulling itself together, it immediately spread its body wide, raised its head to the sky, and roared.

“GUOOOOOOOOOOOON!!”

And soaring into the sky, it circled many times in the sky as if regretting the parting, and eventually returned to Dragon Peak.

“Phew, with this, everything to do in this country is over. Just going home now, I guess.”

It was when I thought so.

“…By the way, what happens to Tyran‘s prize money?”

“Eh?”

Meguri muttered softly, and I realized I hadn’t received Tyran‘s reward.

“Come to think of it…”

“400 gold coins…”

Come to think of it, I hadn’t thought about receiving the prize money…

“But well, I already have a lot of money, so even without receiving the prize money now…”

“Wasteful! Let’s go get it even now!”

Meguri edges closer saying I should receive the prize money.

“No-, for the Dragon Emperor who disappeared due to a great mission to return to receive the reward is a bit…”

“Money is more important than mission.”

Uwah, her eyes are set…

“Then how about sending that Black Knight golem to receive it? That golem is recognized by the townspeople as His Majesty the Dragon Emperor‘s retainer, right?”

“Adopted! Nice idea!”

Thank goodness, I can avoid offending Meguri with this.

“But can that golem speak?”

When Jairo muttered softly that he remembered, Meguri‘s head turns to direct her gaze here.

“Receive…”

“No no no, so the Dragon Emperor receiving it is…”

“MONEY! IMPORTANT!”

After such a commotion, I dismantled one golem into normal armor and secretly went to receive the prize money.

Umm, embarrassing.

“By the way, when I went to receive the prize money, the Mayor was looking for Liliera with a fierce expression?”

“Ah- don’t worry about it. Not a big deal.”

“For that, he seemed quite desperate though…”

“Rex, we are rootless weeds who never settle in one place. Adventurers are those whose acquaintances today depart tomorrow.”

Uwah, what’s that, so cool!

Like the deciding line when the Great Swordsman Liegard parts with the heroines he met in the story!

Nice, I’ll try using it next time too.

In the end, the reason the Mayor was looking for Liliera became vague, but oh well.

“Liliera, hated participating in the Dragon Princess Rite ritual and skipped it.”

“Shh, leave her be.”

Meguri and the others were whispering something, but what were they talking about?

Well whatever, if I remember on the way back, I’ll ask.

“…Now then, shall we return to the Royal Capital too?”

“YEEES!”

“We got involved in an unexpected major incident, but looking back, there were no fights with dangerous enemies, and it ended surprisingly peacefully.”

“No, Big Bro is the only one who thinks that?”

“That’s right, we had to fight Demons and were on edge!”

“In the first place, we fought a dragon before that.”

“As for me, it was the match with Rex. I really thought I would die.”

“Mistaken for the Dragon Princess… really glad I could clear up the misunderstanding…”

Everyone seems tired somehow.

Maybe I should treat them to special potion cooking when we get back?

“But looking back, there was no danger to life, and wasn’t it just right for training?”

“Big Bro” “Rex” “Because Rex‘s training felt most dangerous to life!”

Ahaha, everyone exaggerates for training of that level.

Thus, we finished our training in the Dragon Nation Dragonia and decided to return to our nostalgic home.

And a few weeks later, information that a legitimate Queen ascended the throne in Dragonia flowed throughout the world, and many people were surprised.

Furthermore, the Queen established a new Dragon Emperor Knight Order leading powerful knights brought from somewhere, and seemingly quelled the confusion immediately after enthronement in the blink of an eye.

Even so, establishing such an amazing Knight Order immediately after enthronement, as expected of the Dragon Princess‘s legitimate successor.

She must have excavated talented people buried in the world.

With this, Holy Dragonia is safe for a while too!

◆ Golden Dragon ◆

Those humans left.

The silver one also left with that human girl it contracted with.

…………

That means…

I AM FREEEEEEEEEEEE!!

I did it! Finally got true freedom!

I thought I’d be worked hard until that human died of old age, but for some reason, that human bid me farewell (probably, since I don’t understand human language) and left.

This calls for that.

Today calls for celebration.

Usually I don’t go far because it’s troublesome, but today is an auspicious day.

Let’s hunt some nice prey and have a luxurious meal.

Now then, let’s go out for a bit.

“…”

For some reason, my eyes met the Silver Dragon’s.

Huh-? Strange? Why do my eyes meet the silver one who should have left?

“Then shall we go, Golden One.”

Eh? Where?

“The nation of warriors where dragons and humans joined hands is reviving. Then it would be out of the question if the Golden One, King of Dragons, is not there.”

Eh? Eh? I didn’t hear that.

“Besides, we are partners who exchanged eternal vows… right?”

The silver one says such things while blushing, but I don’t remember exchanging such vows?

No, really I don’t?

“Now! It is our new departure, Golden One!”

S-Stop! Don’t bite my neck! Don’t pull forcibly!

I am free! I became free!

“Congratulations.”

“This is auspicious.”

“The future of us dragons is bright.”

“Right right, I’ll keep Dragon Peak strictly disciplined, so leave the rest to me!”

Hey you guys! Don’t say it in a monotone without any heart!

Also Black Dragon! What are you doing treating this as your territory in the confusion!

This Dragon Peak is my territory!

“Then let us go. Rest assured. I had them prepare a nest easy for us to live in at the human nest.”

Ah-! So you went out alone for that!?

Or rather, I won’t live in a human-smelling place!

I won’t live there-!

“To our love nest!”

STOOOOOOOP! DOOOON’T PUULL MY NECK!!

◆ Royal Capital Nobles ◆

“Confess already! Where is the Prime Minister!”

“I told you I am the Prime Minister!”

“Don’t feign ignorance!”

The exchange between the real Prime Minister and the interrogator repeated countless times continues.

“Hey, wonder how long they’ll repeat this…”

Watching the exchange in front of him, a colleague sighs.

“Who knows. But His Majesty the Dragon Emperor‘s messenger said that man is a body double. Then we have no choice but to treat that man as a body double.”

“Right.”

Thus, until Lady Dragon Princess leading the Silver Dragon came to the Royal Capital… no, correctly, until everyone realized they forgot about the Prime Minister’s treatment due to too many things happening like the surprising report that His Majesty the Dragon Emperor wouldn’t return, or Lady Dragon Princess succeeding the throne instead, or thinking such turmoils finally ended only for the Golden Dragon to come, the treatment of the Prime Minister remained forgotten.

“I told you I am the real Prime Minister!!”

“I told you to tell the truth!!”

Yeah, good work to both of them.
