Chapter 227 – Dragon Lord Mirshi (3)
Mirshi decided to pay for his sins of failing to save his compatriots by enduring the pain and boredom of not being able to move.
“Ugh. All that’s left is the will to ask for forgiveness.”
Time continued to pass. Before I knew it, the magic ores that had been lighting up the rare had used up all their mana and were all turned off, leaving the rare dark. No one came to replace the magic ore.
“It feels like a year has already passed…”
Being confined for a long time was painful, but loneliness, loneliness, and boredom were also difficult to bear. Mirshi was yelling wildly.
“Aaaaah! Sibaaaaal!! Please release me! Wow! Is there no one there!!!”
But all that comes back is an echo. As time passed, Mirshi even forgot to count the days.
“How many years has passed…?”
For the first time in what felt like almost five years, the door to the lair opened and light came in from outside. I looked up somehow, holding back the dazzling light, and saw the dragons coming in.
“Ahhh! “My compatriots have come to save me!”
The dragons approached Mirshi. Mirsi ordered with hope.
“Hurry and release me!”
“You idiot.”
“Jjinta bastard.”
However, all that came back was hostile looks and swear words. Mirsi was embarrassed.
“Huh, why are you doing that?”
Her friend Hestia answered sarcastically.
“The great Zeon drove out the Annihilator and saved the continent from danger. Every intelligent being on the continent participated directly or indirectly in that mythical battle. “Except you, the coward.”
Mirshi felt as if he had been hit on the head.
“I am not a coward! “I was enduring this pain for you!”
“Don’t make excuses. You coward. If you had participated in the war, the continent could have been saved a little faster. You are reputed to be the stupidest and most cowardly dragon on this continent. The reason we came today is to move you to the museum. In fact, only one person could have come, but they all followed to see you in misery.”
“What does that mean?”
“Literally, you will be enshrined in the Continental History Museum as an example of a ‘dumb intellect.'”
“Oh, no…!”
The dragons lifted Myrsi with their tentacles and left the lair. Mirsi was placed on a cart with a sign saying ‘Foolish Mirsi’ and taken to the Continental History Museum. In the process, he was criticized by humans, dwarves, elves, beastmen, demons, etc., And all the confidence Mirshi had until now collapsed. Mirshi was installed in a glass pavilion at the museum. Mirsi was completely frustrated and turned into chaff.
Many intelligent people visited the museum and viewed Mirshi. You can hear the museum guide explaining.
“The great Lord Zeon saved this continent from annihilation and ordered the unification of the intelligent beings. Since then, all intelligent entities have gathered under the Continental Union and maintained peace. Ah. That’s stupid Mirshi. “He was the only foolish dragon who got scared and ran away during the battle with the Destructor.”
“Oh, no… I didn’t run away…”
“You’re just making excuses like that. “Our children, don’t be like fool Mirshi~”
The children innocently respond to the guide’s advice.
“Yes!! “Teacher!”
“Wow~ I should never be that stupid Mirshi!”
Mirshi spent a long time as a museum piece. Time passed and another 10 years passed. Mirshi was able to roughly estimate the time by listening to people talking.
One day, when Mirsi was drooping and looking at the floor, people approached her. This time the museum director was with us and the atmosphere was different. The director said to Mirshi.
“We received a complaint that your appearance is not educational, so as of today, you are being expelled. Go out to the museum and live on your own.”
They opened the glass tube, took Myrthy out, and removed her tentacles. Mirshi was dumbfounded by the sudden freedom. Then, no matter how much she thought about it, she got so angry that she decided to destroy everything.
“I will kill everyone!!!”
But no magic worked. Mirsi threw his fist at the director, but he only hit him with a ‘knock’. The director laughed and said sarcastically.
“Do you think I let you go without knowing anything? Your power has already been removed. You’re just a useless horned dragon now. Throw him outside.”
When the director gave the order, the workers next to him grabbed Mirsi by the horns, dragged him, and threw him out of the museum.
Quadada Party
Mirshi fell pitifully to the floor.
“Sobbing. Aaaaa!!! Wooaeaeaeang!!!”
It was winter now, so it was cold and snowing. Mirsi was so sad that she cried, but none of her passersby did anything to help her and only pointed at her.
“Uh! “The museum collection is out!”
“Mom! “There you are, idiot Mirshi!”
“I’m going to move stupid. “Let’s go quickly without looking.”
Mirshi left without her strength or money, and she wandered the cold streets. As she walked down the street, she saw so much delicious food. Mirshi was drawn to her fragrant smell and approached her bungeoppang shop.
“Give me one bungeoppang.”
“Get out.”
“If it’s money, I’ll give it here!”
Mirsi held out a crumpled bill she had picked up as she walked her way. She muttered as the owner of the bungeoppang glanced at her and took her bills and held out the bungeoppang.
“Tsk. You may be an idiot, but money is important~”
Mirshi swallowed her tears as she ate the hot bungeoppang. The dragon can survive without food thanks to the Dragon Heart, but the food she ate for the first time in a long time was delicious.
“I need money.”
Mirshi decided to do her part-time job and entered a café.
“Hire Jim.”
“If I hire you, the store will fail, so get out quickly.”
Mirshi was attacked so many times that her hair died.
“How did Jim become like this…”
At that time, a girl selling matches caught her eye.
“Buy matches! It’s cold, so buy matches!!”
“Oh my~ It’s this cold and there’s a cute girl selling matches. “Give me a match.”
“Thank you!”
The girl received money by selling her matches. Mirshi’s eyes widened.
“With that, I can carry luggage!”
Mirshi said that by going to a match factory and working for a day, she earned 10 cans of matches. Since she had a dragon’s body, she was immune to chemicals and was able to endure the work. Mirshi went around her streets selling her matches in her hopes.
“Buy matches! Buy warm matches from Jim!!!”
But society was so harsh that no one bought matches from Mirshi. Mirsi was walking down the cold street and stopped in front of the window of a house. Inside, a harmonious dragon family was eating a whole duck barbecue on her table.
The child dragon shouts with a happy face.
“I’m excited because it’s Christmas today!”
The mother dragon speaks.
“Because my son is a good boy, Santa will come.”
The father dragon asks the child dragon a question.
“What did your son want?”
“Dad! “I want Zeon’s figure!”
Haha. “Santa will bring it to you.”
“Wow~~”
“Think about the gift later and eat some warm duck.”
Mirsi clung to her window and watched her drooling.
“It was Christmas today… The duck looks so delicious…”
Mirshi flopped down on the floor, leaned back against the wall and took out her matches.
“Should I warm my hands with this?”
Tak rur rrr
At that time, a warm stove appeared before her eyes.
“Oh, oh! It’s warm! “Good!!!”
After a few minutes of warming her body in her stove, her stove disappeared. There was only a burnt out match in Mirsi’s hand.
“Ahh… Let’s turn on one more.”
Tak rur rrr
This time, a sumptuous dinner appeared.
“Wow! Pizza, sweet and sour pork, and even seasoned chicken!!!”
Mirshi grabbed her seasoned chicken leg and as she was eating it, it all disappeared. This time too, only the burned out match remained.
“I couldn’t even eat it all!!!”
Without any hesitation, Mirshi lit another match.
Tak rur rrr
This time, a colorful Christmas tree appeared, but Mirshi got angry.
“I’m asking for seasoned chicken again instead of something like this!!” Or at least give me some warm oden soup!!!”
After a few minutes, the Christmas tree also disappeared. Mirsi lit her fourth match.
Tak rur rrr
This time, no illusions appeared.
“Why is nothing happening…”
At that time, a man approached Mirsi. Mirshi raised her head and asked a question.
“What business do you have with Jim?”
The man smiled kindly and answered.
“I just look pitiful.”
“Jim is an idiot Mirshi. “If you get involved with luggage, it won’t go well.”
“No one in this world deserves to be pointed at. “I’ll give you a hand warmer here, so you can warm your hands.”
Mirshi’s heart was touched by the kindness she received for the first time since she was trapped in the tentacles.
“Thank you so much. Ugh. Black. Jim will not forget this favor. Ahhh!!!”
Mirsi warmed his hands with a warm hand warmer and burst into tears. While she cried, the man waited calmly next to her.
“What is your name?”
“I am Zeon.”
“Huh? Zeon?”
“Kyakyakya! I am Zeon!!!”
“Aaaaah!!!”
Mirshi’s mind came to mind. Suddenly, the world spun, everything disappeared, and Mirshi was back in Lair, trapped by the tentacles. In front of her, Zion was sitting in her chair and reading her book. Zeon asked a question as Mirshi came to her senses.
“Mirsi. Was the fantasy fun?”
“How did this happen?! What about my matches? “What about the museum?”
“It was all an illusion~ Your mind is so worn out that you easily fall prey to illusions like this.”
“Ugh!!! Then how much time has passed?!”
Zeon placed her watch in front of Mirshi.
“An hour has just passed. “The miserable fantasy will repeat itself every hour.”
A great deal of despair and frustration struck Mirshi.
“I can’t believe it… It felt like 16 years had passed, but it was only 1 hour…”
Haha. It’s easier if you give up. Give up.”
Zeon’s words this time sounded so sweet.
“Jim can’t endure this hell any longer… I want to rest now…”
“Then give up this time. “The fire of penitence!”
A fire of repentance covered Mirshi. This time Mirshi let go of her mind very easily.
