บท 4: Secondary space

A day passed quickly. Considering all the A and B-rank monsters that Yogiri brought, he had already been promoted to A-rank.

"Will history record the first person to ascend to A-rank in one day?"

A man with white hair and black eyes spoke to Yogiri.

"Is the world advancing quickly or what? First the ruler, and now you."

Yogiri spoke with curiosity, "You only have yourself to blame for attracting people, Takato-san. Or should I say, The End."

The man addressed Yogiri with a smile, "I don't think I have a power called attracting people or anything like that, Roto-san. Or should I say, the ancient dragon equal in status to the rulers."

Yogiri spoke calmly. (As for how Roto knew that Yogiri was The End, let's talk about that. In the novel, when Aoi tried to check who Yogiri was, she found out his identity and knew he was The End. This means Yogiri himself had no intention of hiding who he was. But why didn't the rulers know about him? In the original novel, Yogiri mentioned that the rulers see him as an ordinary person, meaning they would see him as a normal human like anyone else. This is because it's impossible to know who Yogiri is or check his status without his permission. However, Yogiri doesn't hide his background. So, if anyone used the ability to look into others' backgrounds, they would know who Yogiri is, just like what happened with Aoi in the novel.)

"As expected from The End, you already know a lot."

Roto spoke with a carefree smile.

"I know a lot, more than you can comprehend. So, what brought you here, ancient dragon?" Yogiri spoke calmly while Roto laughed.

"You make me sad. Just call me Roto. As for why I came, it was to ask what The End is doing here. As you know, I can't sleep peacefully knowing that this world could end at any moment. And my second reason is that I wanted to see you. You are just so interesting."

"There's no reason for my coming here. Do I need a reason to live comfortably? Also, I'm not interested in men," Yogiri spoke in a calm voice.

"I understand. I can revert to my original form when I was female. Does that suit you?" Roto smiled and spoke.

"No, just stay away from me," Yogiri maintained his calmness while talking to Roto.

Roto quickly hugged Yogiri's arm, "Why? That makes me very sad," Roto spoke playfully.

It was night, and Roto and Yogiri were behind the guild building, so no one saw them. Yogiri looked at Roto, who was clinging to his arm, and thought, (Should I hit this jerk?)

[No, host. Kill him. How dare he hold your arm? Damn it.]

Yogiri felt as if his system was angrier than he was. (Are you jealous, Rory?)

[No, who's jealous? I don't care.]

(Hmm, my system has become tsundere.)

Yogiri looked at Roto and tried to push him away, but Roto kept holding onto Yogiri's arm and resisted. Yogiri heard the sound of a door opening. The receptionist came out.

"What! Roto-sama, Takato-san, this! You can continue, I didn't see anything. You can continue," she quickly fled.

At that moment, Roto felt a murderous aura from his side.

"Roto, you jerk," Yogiri spoke angrily, glaring at Roto.

Roto quickly fled, "Sorry, it seems there's an urgent summons from the guild in the kingdom. I'll leave," Roto spoke nervously and quickly left the village.

Yogiri sighed, turned around, and headed to the inn. This was his last night; tomorrow he would go to the secondary realm.

Yogiri arrived at the inn, lay down on his bed, and looked at the blue screen before falling asleep.

Yogiri looked for a bit before falling asleep.

The next day, Yogiri left the village and activated the map. "Alright, it looks like the semi-realm is far from here." Yogiri used air magic and flew quickly toward the point on the map.

"This world is extremely primitive," Yogiri said as he examined the scenery around him.

Yogiri arrived at a rocky hill. "So, the semi-realm is here." He extended his hand and felt as if he had hit an invisible wall. "Belphegor, destroy it," Yogiri said calmly, addressing Belphegor. "As you wish, my lord," Belphegor replied. A black aura appeared on the invisible wall, then cracks formed in the void, and a misty gate emerged.

Yogiri entered. "Don't forget to repair it once we're inside," Yogiri said. "As you wish, my lord," Belphegor replied.

In another place, "My lord, he has broken the mist barrier," Shin informed Makoto. "We've just entered; is your domain flawed?" Makoto spoke in frustration before he and Shin hurried to the barrier site. But all they saw was an 18-year-old boy calmly eating fruit with a strange staff.

"This is very good, Belphegor," Yogiri said. "Yes, my lord, it's delicious," Belphegor replied happily. "Who are you, intruders?" Shin shouted at Yogiri and Belphegor. Yogiri looked at Shin. "Mist Dragon Shin, I am Yogiri Takatou, and this is my companion, Belphegor," Yogiri said, pointing to the staff in his hand.

Shin was ready to attack at any moment. "What is your intention in coming here?" Shin questioned Yogiri. "Nothing. Can you let us live here? I like the weather and the fruits and vegetables here," Yogiri said. Shin tried to refuse, but Makoto spoke before her. "Come on, Shin, it's not like we can live here alone," Makoto said. "Fine, as you wish, my lord," Shin replied reluctantly.

Yogiri stepped forward and shook Makoto's hand. "As I said earlier, I am Yogiri Takatou. Pleased to meet you," Yogiri said with a smile on his face. "Ah, I am Makoto Misumi. Pleased to meet you, Takatou-san," Makoto replied.

After the two got to know each other, Makoto spoke to Shin. "Now we need to go to the orc village to inform them of everything." Then he turned to Yogiri. "We will leave for a bit, Shin and I. Take care, Takatou-san," Makoto said. "Alright, Misumi-san," Yogiri replied. (These two adapt quickly. Scary,) Shin thought as he left with Makoto.

After they left, Yogiri explored the secondary space in search of an empty area. "Belphegor, build a palace here," Yogiri said to Belphegor. "As you wish, my lord," Belphegor replied. A black ball covered a 200-square-meter area, and after a few seconds, it disappeared, revealing a large and ornate palace. "Well done, Belphegor. Now create all the furniture that suits the palace and place them in their spots," Yogiri praised Belphegor. "I have already done so, my lord," Belphegor replied.

Yogiri entered the massive palace and began to explore it. [This place is good,] Rory said. "Yes," Yogiri agreed with Rory.

(This is the end of the chapter. Sorry for any spelling errors due to automatic translation. Also, I plan to make Yogiri purchase a chat system. Does that sound good to you?)
