"W-What is that guy?"
Hyoudou Issei muttered, looking at me.
A familiar voice came from the green jewel on the red gauntlet on his arm.
[Oi, Partner. Be careful. That guy is...]
Ddraig trailed off.
Wait, Ddraig is awake at this point?
As far as I remember, he was supposed to wake up after losing to Riser.
Is this a variable too?
And this one was probably created by Ryu's side.
"What's wrong? Ddraig?"
[I wasn't sure because his appearance is different... but that aura, there's no mistake! It's him!]
It seems Ddraig realized my identity as soon as he saw me.
"Long time no see, Ddraig. Have you been well inside that stiff armor?"
[You...! You were still alive!]
"Even if I was weaker than you guys, I don't die. My life is tougher than a phoenix."
Of course, if the God of the Bible had truly intended to kill me, I would have died.
Since he could have just stopped the Grail's function via the System.
If he had done that, I would have probably died along with the Heavenly Dragons.
[You're quite the monster. Not only surviving that hellish battle, but to be completely fine still.]
"Ah right, Ddraig. Since I'm here, there's someone I want to introduce to you."
[What is it?]
Smiling with satisfaction, I summoned Hwaryeong.
A magnificent dragon gate appeared in the center of the room, and Hwaryeong walked out elegantly.
"Master, did you call~?"
"Wooooah! Another incredible beauty! And what are those huge breasts?!?!"
Issei cheered seeing Hwaryeong.
Our Hwaryeong is indeed pretty.
"How disgusting... Master, may I dispose of that bug?"
Hwaryeong frowned in displeasure.
"Mm... Sorry, endure it a little. He is the Red Dragon Emperor for now."
I stopped Hwaryeong, who looked ready to kill Issei right this instant.
[Wait...! What is this?! The aura I feel from that woman?! What on earth is this familiar yet foreign power!]
"Ddraig, what's wrong? Someone you know?"
Ddraig was flustered by the aura he felt from Hwaryeong.
Because the aura emanating from Hwaryeong was unmistakably Ddraig's own.
"...I see. That Sacred Gear..."
"Yeah, you recognize that Sacred Gear, right?"
"Of course, isn't he my father?"
""""Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh────!?!?""""
The entire Gremory Peerage was shocked by Hwaryeong's words.
"D-Ddraig! What does this mean?! You had a daughter?!"
[D-Don't say ridiculous things, Partner! Of course, I'm a male, so I won't say I haven't had relationships! But I have never had a child! Not once!]
Ddraig desperately denied Issei's question.
"Sob... So I am being denied by my father... Mother passed away not long after you left... Father probably didn't even know I existed... To be a pitiful daughter abandoned at birth... I'm so sad, Master."
"Boo~ Trash. A dragon abandoning his daughter, that's the worst."
Hwaryeong and I took this chance to tease Ddraig relentlessly.
[No, no, no...! What is this all of a sudden!! I really don't know anything about this!]
Mm~ This is the reaction I wanted.
"Wow... Ddraig, even I think this is a bit..."
[Don't be fooled, Partner! There's no way that's real!!]
"Uh... Ddraig... This is, uh... a bit much of you..."
[No, it's nooooot───!!!]
"Ei, she's not fake."
<Boost!>
[What?! That is?!]
"She's... boosting?!"
In front of the doubting Ddraig, Hwaryeong flicked her hand lightly, and red aura burst from her body.
"Do you still think it's a lie, Father? Fufu."
[T-Then who is your mother...! Are you saying there was a woman I don't remember!]
"Gasp... Are you saying you don't even remember Mother...?"
Hwaryeong covered her mouth and wailed.
[No, no, no, no...!! That's not it...!]
"Ddraig......"
"Trash..."
"Truly low..."
[Don't look at me like thaaaat───!!]
"Sob, sob, sob...! I'm so sad, Father..."
[I-I'm sorry...! I was wrong...! So please, just tell me who your mother is...!!]
"Hmm... Biologically speaking... if we trace it back, isn't it Great Red?"
[Hah?! Me with that guy?! No, no! Great Red is closer to male in the first place, isn't he?]
"No, technically, he can become any gender, right?"
[That's impossibllllle──!]
"Hahahahat! Ah, that was fun. Hwaryeong, you can stop now. Ddraig, Hwaryeong is a new Heavenly Dragon created from your heart, which I recovered after you died in the Great War, and a fragment of Great Red's power. So technically, biologically, she is your daughter."
[How on earth did you do such a crazy thing...!]
I summoned the Grail in my hand.
"I possess the Sephiroth Graal that deals with life, so there's nothing I can't do."
[Crazy. Don't play that kind of prank again! I almost died of shock! Though I'm already dead...!]
"Ah, right. There's an Albion daughter too. I'm going to tease him later, so keep your mouth shut."
[Crazy, absolutely crazy... You truly are a malicious bastard...!]
Ddraig felt sorry for Albion inside.
"B-By the way, just who are you?!"
Issei asked me.
"Ah, didn't I introduce myself?"
"I am Eden. The world calls me the Chaos Dragon."
"Chaos Dragon? Are you a dragon too?"
"Technically you could say yes, or maybe no..."
"What does that mean?"
"Don't try to know too deeply. You'll just get a headache."
I patted Issei's shoulder as I spoke.
"Anyway, show me lots of interesting things from now on, Red Dragon Emperor. I'll be watching closely to see how much you grow."
At my words, Issei seemed to feel something and shivered.
"Now then, business is done, so shall we get going? Hwaryeong, let's go back."
"Yes, Master."
Opening a magic circle with Hwaryeong, I leisurely disappeared, leaving the bewildered Gremory Peerage behind.
Having laughed to my heart's content after a long time, I felt great.
Just thinking about how I'll play with them in the future was enjoyable.
