Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Wuzhan Away at the Beginning Chapter 182

「“Perhaps the Alchemy Commission hopes the Dragon Lord is still Bailu.” Xing said.」

「“These people pride themselves on being orthodox. They believe that Bailu was personally selected as the successor by the previous Dragon Lord, and unless she makes a major mistake, the Dragon Masters have no right to choose another.”」

「“The Healer Dragon-maiden possesses both the appearance of a dragon and incredible healing abilities. Some regard this as proof of the Dragon Lord. However, the Dragon Master elders who believe in power are unwilling to accept it…”」

「Jing Yuan turned his head to look at the Scalegorge Waterscape in the distance: “And after the ‘Dan Heng reincarnate’ before you decreed over the vast waters of the Wavewinder Sea, those who defend the orthodoxy of the Dragon Lord have become even more uneasy.”」

「Jing Yuan had no opinion on the internal strife between the two factions within the Vidyadhara, but as a friend, he kindly reminded: As long as Dan Heng, who possesses the power of the Dragon Lord, and Bailu, who holds the title of Dragon Lord, coexist in the Luofu, the opposing voices within the Vidyadhara will not disappear… even if it is not their fault.」

「After speaking, Jing Yuan supported his old waist and went back to recuperate.」

「The two continued forward and arrived at the seaside, where they met Huanxi waiting for them. After Dan Heng expressed his insistence on meeting, she just shook her head with a wry smile and did not stop him. However, a group of Vidyadhara people quickly came behind Dan Heng, aggressively demanding that he be driven out of the Scalegorge Waterscape.」

「“Even if he is not Dan Feng, the Vidyadhara cannot tolerate a monster like him!” The leader was aggressive.」

Konosuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!

“Huh? A monster?”

“If being as handsome as Dan Heng is called a monster, then what is Kazuma?” Megumin slammed her beer glass on the wooden table of the tavern, causing several empty glasses to jump.

“Hey, hey, I think I heard someone talking bad about me.” Kazuma walked in through the front door of the tavern. He looked up at the sky and then at the overly excited Megumin, “Are you infatuated with someone from another world again? I remember last time it was Jing Yuan, the time before that it was Luocha… and this time it’s back to Dan Heng?”

“…Even if they are good, you can’t touch them, right? What’s the point of being so infatuated with them?”

“Of course there’s a point! At least it’s a reflection of my high-quality aesthetic.” Megumin, her cheeks slightly flushed from drinking, proudly raised her head, “Unlike someone, whose aesthetic sense is so low that even the old women at the succubus shop think are beautiful!”

“That, that’s because they use magic to become beautiful!” Kazuma retorted, his face reddening.

At this moment, Darkness, who had been quietly drinking juice next to them, suddenly spoke: “Actually… I think Kazuma isn’t, not that bad…” Her face turned inexplicably red, “Although he can’t compare to Dan Heng, occasionally… very occasionally, he has a little bit of handsomeness…”

Aqua almost spat out her drink. The three of them turned to Darkness at the same time, with expressions of disbelief.

“Darkness, are you running a fever?” Aqua reached out to touch her forehead.

“No, I guess she must have been hit in the head by some tentacle monster today,” Megumin said seriously.

Kazuma, on the other hand, grabbed Darkness’s hand with a moved expression: “Finally! There’s still someone in this party with a normal sense of taste!”

Darkness’s face turned even redder, and she stammered: “I, I’m just telling the truth… Of course, most of the time you’re still an incorrigible scumbag…”

「After speaking, those people revealed their identities as assassins and attacked Dan Heng together, but the strength of this group of people was insignificant in front of the Dragon Lord, and Dan Heng easily resolved it.」

「After dealing with these lackeys, Dan Heng and Xing followed Huanxi to the Grand Fane of Waters.」

「There, Bailu had been waiting for them for a long time, her chubby little face full of impatience. But when she turned around and saw Xing, her eyebrows immediately relaxed, and her voice rose a few degrees: “Hello, Xing, long time no see, why are you here too?”」

「Huanxi explained that the two had encountered assassins on the way, who were trying to assassinate Dan Heng… presumably to protect Bailu’s Dragon Lord orthodoxy.」

「Hearing the words “Dragon Lord,” Bailu’s eyebrows drooped again, and she snorted impatiently: “What does that have to do with me? I said long ago, whoever wants to be this Dragon Lord can be it. I didn’t choose this title.”」

「Seeing Dan Heng, Bailu was first surprised, then curious… especially after confirming that Dan Heng was the reincarnation of Dan Feng, she couldn’t help but glance behind Dan Heng.」

「“Oh, you’re different from me, how come you don’t have a tail?” Bailu said with a smile, “If I let you be the Dragon Lord, would you grow a tail?”」

「“…Uh.” Dan Heng rarely showed an embarrassed expression.」

「He said that he had no intention of getting involved in the Dragon Lord succession, and that he only wanted to repair the Seal of the Ambrosial Arbor on this trip, and by the way, chat with Bailu about the old days, wanting to try to do something.」

「Dan Heng’s frankness made Bailu quite fond of him, and she said that she could accompany him on a trip to the Scalegorge Waterscape.」

「The two came to the entrance of the Scalegorge Waterscape, and from afar they saw the dragon-shaped roots. Bailu sighed and complained that the elders had never told her about the Seal of the Ambrosial Arbor. From this, it could be seen that they had long known that she was not qualified for the position of Dragon Lord.」

「“Since this young lady has no qualifications, why did Dan Feng choose me back then?” Bailu curiously looked up at Dan Heng.」

A Certain Scientific Railgun—

“Eh? The only two Vidyadhara who show the appearance of a dragon don’t want to be the Dragon Lord?”

In a park in Academy City, Misaka Mikoto was sitting on a bench, watching the two “Dragon Lords” on the light screen.

“Yo, isn’t this Bilibili? You’re paying attention to them too?”

A familiar voice interrupted her thoughts. Misaka Mikoto looked up and saw the shadow of the spiky-haired boy enveloping her from behind, just blocking the strong sunlight.

“It’s not Bilibili, it’s Misaka Mikoto!” Veins popped out on Mikoto’s forehead, and a few strands of blue and white electricity jumped uncontrollably between her bangs.

Toma smiled and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: “Just kidding, just kidding, Misaka-san. I didn’t expect you to be so concerned about Dan Heng too?”

“It’s not just me, the higher-ups are also concerned about his abilities.”

Misaka Mikoto snorted softly, looking at the two sides of the ancient sea separated in the Scalegorge Waterscape, “This level of ability, placed in Academy City, is probably far more than Level 6, it’s no exaggeration to call it a miracle… How could those guys not care.”

“But I don’t want to think about these things for the time being, I’m just a little annoyed that they both want to avoid the responsibility of being the Dragon Lord.”

“Ah? But isn’t that a matter of course?” Kamijou Touma looked at the backs of the two on the light screen, “Being forced to accept this kind of responsibility, it’s normal to have a rebellious mentality, right? Besides, neither of them has ever wanted to be the Dragon Lord from the beginning to the end.”

“But you can’t escape, right?” Misaka Mikoto frowned, “Although being forced to accept it is indeed painful, the opportunity has already found her, and this cannot be changed. Instead of trying to escape in every possible way, I think… it’s better to first learn how to be a good Dragon Lord, and then slowly change the current situation.”

“…As a Level 5, I understand the principle that with great power comes great responsibility.”
