Reincarnated Dragon Goes to the Academy!

Chapter 130 : Meeting.

Having found a decent method, they put their heads together to solve the next problem.

"So who are you going to seduce?"

At Aman's question, Hasel and Lucas looked at each other alternately.

"I thought you had a way."

"I thought the Lord would know at least one god...?"

"Huh?"

It was absurd. No, he had confidently said they should seduce a few gods, so he naturally thought there was a way, but Hasel was so naturally passing the responsibility to Lucas.

"Do you really not know a single god?"

Hasel's gaze turned to Lucas's arm. As if he already knew.

"Not this one."

Lucas also thought of Amore first. But he hated it.

'I hate it so much.'

Then Hasel narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Who is it?"

"..."

"Isn't it Amore?"

Damn it.

"It is."

"If it's Amore, he's a high-ranking god and a god who has protected the celestial realm for a very long time, so his power must be immense. But why not? It seems you even have Amore's incredible holy relic."

Lucas, who was looking for a good excuse, finally bit his lip.

"Are you confident you won't regret it?"

"Pardon?"

"I asked if you are confident you won't regret it if I summon Amore."

"What is there to regret?"

At Hasel's words, Aman also nodded his head.

"That's right. There's nothing to regret. As far as I know, Amore is a strong god."

Lucas nodded his head.

"...In that case, could you leave us for a moment?"

At that, Aman and Hasel shrugged their shoulders and quickly left.

"Hooooo..."

A deep sigh.

"...By the power of love, ppyorong ppyorong."

Followed by a spell chanted in a small voice.

[Honeyyyy!!!]

It was truly less than a second.

"Thank you for coming."

[Now it seems my honey calls me whenever he really wants to see me~]

As Amore appeared, Lucas already felt his mind going blank.

"I called you because I have a favor to ask. Thank you for coming."

[If my honey calls, I have to come anytime!]

Now Amore was casually touching Lucas's arm and shoulder, engaging in intense skinship.

'I've given up.'

But Lucas now had a look of enlightenment, as if he had let go of most things.

Then Hasel and Aman returned.

[Honey's friends?]

Amore, who saw Hasel and Aman, whispered softly in Lucas's ear.

"That's right."

At that, Amore nodded his head and moved away from Lucas.

"..."

"Um..."

The two of them were at a loss for words at the sight of Amore.

It was natural. Because the statues or paintings of Amore in the temples were definitely not like that.

The only thing that was the same as Amore's current appearance was his blond hair. Nothing more, nothing less.

"Right. Hasel, Aman. This is Amore."

"Greetings, Lord Amore."

"Greetings, Lord Amore."

The two of them bowed politely at the sight of the god they were meeting for the first time.

[Right. You are the guardians of the surface.]

At that, Amore suddenly lowered his voice and put on a solemn expression.

'That crazy... '

The blond hair, the dark stubble, and the pink clothes only left a small doubt about his dignity; they did not make one doubt the fact that he was a god.

"..."

At Amore's behavior, the only one who had his mouth open with an incredulous expression was Lucas.

[I am grateful to meet you all like this. We also receive much help from those who maintain order in the chaotic surface.]

It was truly a god-like statement and dignity.

"We are glad that we can be of even a little help."

Hasel also smiled slightly and showed his courtesy.

[Right. I heard from my friend. You need help?]

"Yes. Lord Amore. I am sorry to ask, but we would like you to help us."

[Hohoho. Right. Go ahead and tell me.]

Hasel and Aman were even sending looks of admiration at the kind appearance of Amore.

'...Let's just ignore it.'

It would do no good for him to rebuke Amore at a time like this. Therefore, Lucas chose to just listen to the conversation with a blank expression.

Hasel and Aman, befitting dragons, slowly explained their situation without a single sign of trembling or being intimidated despite facing a god.

Amore listened attentively to their conversation even though he knew everything, and even pretended to be deep in thought from time to time.

'Cunning bastard.'

The only one who was seething at the sight of him was Lucas.

"...That is why we are requesting your help."

[Right. I have heard your position well. I want to help a hundred times over for the sake of my friend, but I don't know what the other gods might think.]

"Could you not persuade them?"

Hasel clasped his hands tightly and said in a pleading voice.

[Hohoho. You may not know, but we gods live for eons. If there is one bad thing about living forever, it is that we live for too long.]

Amore stroked his chin as if stroking a non-existent beard.

[That is to say, we are too indifferent to everything. Of course, gods also go on games in the middle, and they are punished and reincarnated, but as you know, that is just a fleeting moment.]

"I know. But we also cannot lose this world like this. Lord Amore, you would not be pleased if Taras took the position of the main god, would you?"

[Hahaha! That's the problem. The position of the main god changes? Whoever it may be, wouldn't it be a big event in a boring life? So there is a high probability that no one will pay attention.]

Everyone was at a loss for words at Amore's words.

Gods live for eons. For them, who live for countless days that cannot be measured, any fun game would be just a fleeting moment and would not bring them great fun.

'Everything will become dull...'

They also roughly understood what Amore's words meant.

It was one of the things they experienced while living as dragons.

But since they only lived for a few thousand years at most, it would be a very short time compared to the gods.

[You all seem to understand well enough. And you all do not interfere in all the affairs of the surface, do you? In that case, let me ask you something. What do you do if someone covets the position of the Dragon Lord? If that position is vacant, that is.]

"...In most cases, if they are qualified enough, we give it to them. In a long life, the position of Lord is just a nuisance."

Hasel answered.

[What do you think we are like?]

Amore smiled.

"..."

[Well, if there is a god who loves humans, the story would be different, but I hear that the demons are saying they will come up to the surface and treat all races except humans equally. Am I wrong?]

Hasel and Aman felt that there was no more hope. It was a problem that only required a very brief thought.

'What if humans wage a race war?', 'What if someone covets the vacant position of Lord?'

With just these two things, the answer was sufficient.

'Do not interfere.'

The bloody wind brought by a race war would be huge and tragic, but it was not a matter for dragons to step in. On the contrary, if someone stepped up and said they would help one race, they might even stop them.

Because that was favoritism and discrimination.

Moreover, the demons were a race that had already been driven out after suffering numerous discriminations for the sin they had committed against the dragons. It seemed more difficult to find a god who would actively step up and stop such a race from returning to their own land.

[But there will be someone. So don't look like you've lost everything in the world.]

Amore smiled benevolently and soothed them.

[If you heard from my friend, you would know, but when a dragon's life ends, they often become gods... Wouldn't there be at least one god who would step up for the sake of an old colleague?]

Hasel nodded his head.

"I hope so."

[Then I hope we can see each other again next time.]

Having finished his words, Amore approached Lucas's ear.

[Was I cool?]

Amore whispered in a very small voice that Hasel and Aman could not hear.

"..."

Seeing that, Hasel and Aman had expressions as if they were surprised by the deep friendship between Lucas and Amore.

[Then, farewell.]

Just like the first time, Amore exited, leaving only his coolness behind.

"A god is a god."

"Phew. Even though it's not a manifestation, the pressure is no joke."

"Indeed. But I've never heard that Amore was that muscular."

At Aman's words, Hasel nodded his head in agreement.

"Huh? Me too. You thought so too, father. And pink clothes..."

"The staff with the small heart was a bit much too."

"But well, he is the god of love."

"That's right. No, but why did you ask if we were confident we wouldn't regret it? You made me nervous for no reason."

At Hasel's words, Lucas wanted to jump up from his seat right away and shout, 'That's not it,' but he held it in and just gave a bitter smile.

'Right, it would be the same even if I said it wasn't.'

"More importantly, this is a really big problem. My thoughts were short."

"No. My thoughts were short too. We were all blinded because an urgent matter came up. It might be difficult to persuade even a few of the dragons around us right now."

As if lost in thought, they continued their silence for a moment.

"In that case, what would be the best thing to do? We can't just wait for Lord Amore to persuade the gods, can we?"

"We'll have to find what we can do. Although the demons have opened a gate, their numbers are not large for now, and the time they can maintain the gate is not long either."

"That's true, but we don't know when they will finish their preparations and come up to the surface."

"There will be enough time to prepare. If there is no way in the end... accepting the demon god's proposal wouldn't be so bad."

At Lucas's words, Hasel and Aman shot up from their seats at the same time.

"No."

"That's right. That's absolutely not an option."

"Accept the demon god's proposal? What would we do with a new world? It's no different from admitting defeat!"

It was naturally a difficult thing for them to accept. But Lucas's position was different.

Not only did he not know how many gods would side with the dragons as Amore had said, but even if there were a few, if the power difference with Taras was not large, it could really become a war of the gods.

'No one will back down easily.'

In that case, there was one way to minimize the damage as much as possible.

To accept Taras's proposal.

'If we accept Taras's proposal, there will be no need for the gods to go to war, and no need for the dragons to get hurt.'

Winning a fight is important, but not fighting is even more important. Especially if it's a fight with a high probability of defeat.

"I know too. But if it becomes a war of the gods, victory or defeat is not the problem. This world could disappear, and the dragons could disappear."

"I know. So we will first find out if there is a way to not start this fight. Isn't it enough to prevent those demon bastards from ever coming up to the surface?"

Hasel's answer was very much to his liking.

"Hahaha! Right. Hasel. You're right."

At that, Lucas burst out into hearty laughter.

"We just have to stop them from coming up."

"Yes. Forever."
