--OP--
What now...?
Come on Arawn! Walk properly!
--ED--
I'm feeling sluggish. I drank a bit too much yesterday.
Well, you are really lazy.
You won't get any prey if you just sleep.
Geez, why are you all so energetic?
In that case, why don't you just sleep in your tomb forever if you're that tired...
Brother.
Let's go to the tomb then.
Arawn-sama?
You're joking, right?
No, it need not be a joke.
I just had a good idea.
Demon King Arawn.
What is your objective?
Regius.
Regius? The Shining King of the Heavens?
Regius...
I can only truly understand the meaning of that after my death.
That's what he said...
Gaius-sama.
What is it? Come in.
Excuse me.
Orders from the kingdom.
The senate orders that you report back immediately.

Here, my King.
Hmm? Oh thank you, Ermin.
Mmm. It really does keep people refreshed.
It wouldn't do if you weren't refreshed.
That's true.
Well then, it's time to serve the rest as well.
Yes, let's serve the rest.
Excuse me, it is true that we are going to the tomb?
We considered the future and realized that we're still lacking some things.
Yes. Those things you can't live without.
Those things you can't live without?
Money.
And we immediately thought of the Mausoleum of Arawn.
Buried underneath are vast amount of treasures.
You mean... you're turning us into grave robbers?!
That is Arawn-sama's tomb, so it is not considered stealing.
Oh... I see.
This is the best method to boost our finances.
If that is Arawn-sama's decision, then I will support him.
Well then, let's get ready to leave.
Yeah!
Do look for me if you wish to sell them off!
White Angel
So this is the Mausoleum of Arawn?
Not long ago, Arawn-sama was still buried here.
What's wrong, Riannon?
Are you afraid of entering the tomb?
No, I'm fine.
Oh really?
I'm pretty sure the tomb was grand last time, but...
Now it is nothing but ruins.
Don't worry. The lower levels are still completely intact.
But still, Arawn was dug out by the Empire.
Maybe it's been ransacked clean, and nothing is left.
No. The Empire did not manage to find the entrance.
But instead, they dug a hole directly to the lowest level.
And after excavating the tomb, they filled the hole back up.
They were probably met with some obstacle and had no choice but to do that.
What obstacle?
We'll see when we get there.
But what should we do?
Must we dig a hole like what the Empire did?
Well, digging holes are my speciality!
No. Arawn-sama is here this time.
Well yeah.
Well then, open sesame!
Hey hey, there's no way such a simple magical phrase...
It sure is simple.
If the person that is buried wishes to enter, why shouldn't the tomb open?
...it's like that?
The basement really is in good shape.
That's... what is that?
Ahh, Arawn-sama?
It looks like something that resembles a doll is heading this way.
It doesn't seem like they are edible.
Tálos.
Tálos - Bronze Giant from the Greek mythology
Tálos?
Automated mannequins.
They were constructed to be used as the tomb's guards.
They're coming over here.
Are they welcoming their master?
They were probably the obstacle that forced the Empire to retreat.
Ah...
What is that?!
Er... Looks like they have became sensitive to intruders.
Don't say that so calmly, will you?!
Hurry up and do something, you were buried here.
Even if you say that...
Anyway, destroy them if you do not wish to be entombed here.
So it came to this after all..
These scraps of metal couldn't sell for a high price.
In that case, you could give them to me.
I could make a lot of pots with these...
Hmm? What did you say?
Er... No... I said I could forge many usable weapons...
Is that so? We will leave this to you then, Rathty.
Yes, Arawn-sama.
Excuse me, Rathty-san, Rathty-san.
Yes?
Um... I...
Can I order a new pot?
Sure. I will make an excellent one.
This should be the lowest level.
So the treasures are in here?
Yeah. Those around that tomb should be treasures.
That's a lot.
But it sure is in complete chaos.
Hey, what is that?
Judging by their uniform... they are soldiers from the Empire.
Were they killed by those things just now?
But I feel that it wasn't done in a refined manner.
What was that?
What... what is it?
An orge.
Orge?
Those Imperial idiots actually managed to awaken the orge.
Is that why they filled the hole back in...?
Is it trying to protect or destroy the tomb?
They can't be compared with those we have seen at the arena.
Everyone please step back.
Now, Arthur-sama!
Understood!
Brother!
Sorry. I apologize on behalf of the people of the Empire.
To actually awaken such a monster.
Emptying the coffin and even damaging the mural on the walls.
Don't worry about it. The casket was empty all along.
That wall painting was also damaged a long time ago.
So Arawn-sama has been in a deep sleep here for a long time?
That's right. This tomb was initially constructed by the Elves.
I requested my past comrades,
to bury me here the moment I fell.
Hey Arawn, come over and take a look.
All right.
This is where Arawn is?
Yes. He's sleeping right here.
What about that casket next to him?
That is Myrddin-sama's casket.
I see.
So that is... that is why Arawn...
Yeah.
Sorry for the late report, Arawn.
Finally we're here to meet you.
Although it was tough recovering from the war,
everyone is fine.
Geez, you actually left us behind and went ahead to sleep first.
You really enjoy sleeping.
He's finally gotten the chance to sleep quietly, we must leave him in peace.
Yeah, exactly.
Leave the future to us, Arawn.
You need not worry anymore.
I wish for you to have a long and peaceful slumber.
Are you all right?
Ogam-sama.
U-Um... I'm fine.
Did you happen to see something?
Um... Arawn-sama, he... This place is...
Although I could not say everything,
It would be an entirely different case if Arawn-sama himself says it.
I see...
But well, just take it as if I am talking to myself.
Well, then... Whose tomb was this in the past?
And whose casket does that belong to..
It is Myrddin-sama's.
Is that why it's empty in the first place?
Arawn-sama himself said it before,
Myrddin-sama has already gone to a place where no one could reach.
Arawn-sama actually said that much...
Well, yes.
This place was constructed as a monument in remembrance of Myrddin-sama.
Arawn-sama wished to be buried next to Myrddin-sama.
Um... What relationship do Myrddin-sama and Arawn-sama have?
Uhh...
Ogam-dono.
Yes, I'll be right there.
A rather ancient method of painting.
What is drawn is the heaven's world.
It is the most suitable drawing to be placed as a decoration in a tomb.
What is the theme of this drawing?
Somehow they drew a large depiction of the sun.
It is very similar to the Holy Empire's coat of arms.
Are there any religious meaning to it?
Uhh... About that...
The sun on that painting represents the Absolute God, Watos.
Those that are embraced by the sunlight are the Twelve Angels.
Angels, you say?
No, but this is a thing of the past.
Um... But there are actually 13 people on the drawing...
There is an incompetent one.
Well then, I guess we're done.
Let's take this chance to retreat before more weird monsters show up.
Yes.
Nii-sama?
How long are you going to stare at it? Let's go.
Hey, Arawn.
The man in the painting looks like the murderer of my father.
Nii-sama...
Ah well, this is a man from the past, so it shouldn't be.
But you lived for a long time too.
Well... yeah.
I don't know why, but I feel that you look like the man in the painting.
Hey Arthur...
No... It cannot be, right?
Your outward appearance and innate are completely dark, the Demon King.
What was that? It's time to go.
Please wait, Arawn-sama.
Dear gentlemen of the Senate.
I, Gaius, have an inquiry to make with you.
What is the reason behind this unanticipated summon?
Also I would like to ask everyone,
I repeatedly requested for reinforcements,
but none of my requests were granted. Why is that?
I mentioned many times that I needed a large force to suppress Albion.
We need not speak about that.
We summoned you here today for an investigation.
What?
Call upon Delator.
Report on what actually happened in Albion.
Yes. Demon King Arawn is not the Demon King at all.
He is nothing but a young man.
Huh?!
He hunts boars in the day and drinks wine in the night.
Totally leading a vulgar life while seeking pleasure to pass his days.
He is actually a Demon King that hunts wild boars.
He is indeed a Demon King with unwarranted fame.
Lord Gaius, have you gone senile after living on the frontier?
If you cannot take down such a person,
then the sword you're so proud of must have been rusted by the humidity of Albion.
Hey, hold it. Just hold on!
Well then, if the report turns out to be true...
Then you should understand how serious this matter is.
You have had completely no success in dealing with those insignificant savages.
Yet you request to bolster the forces many times.
The act of gathering a large force on the frontier,
can be recognized as a ploy to revolt against the Empire.
Gaius.
We are already prepared to issue you the ultimate decree of the Senate.
What did you say?!
If the decree is issued,
you will be punished accordingly as a renegade of the Empire.
Allow me to meet the Emperor...
Grant me an audience!
The Emperor is currently rejuvenating on Capri Island.
Gaius. You better withdraw at once.
Just hold on! Give me a chance to explain!
You still don't understand that you have already defiled the image the Senate has of you?
Cool your head and return to Albion.
The meeting adjourns here.
That damn Arawn.
Why does he look so foolish when he is being observed?
No, wait.
What if this is planned by Arawn beforehand...
...just to set me up?!
That bastard must have planned this from the start.
Gaius-sama.
What's wrong? You don't look good.
No, I'm fine.
Anyway, gather as much money as possible in my name.
Use that money to hire mercenaries or even decommissioned soldiers.
Gather as large a force as possible.
At once!
Although I am not willing, I have no choice but to seek help from that damned mayor.
There is no time to waste. I just have to defeat them all at once .
Who is it?
Arawn-sama...
Indeed you are not resting yet.
Riannon?
What's the matter?
Um...
What is it?
Umm...
Ta-da! The oven mitts, Daddy Snake and Mummy Snake!
But their true identities are...
Their true identities are?
Ta-da! They're dragons!
"Have a taste of my flame!"
"Dear, it is hot if you breath too much flames."
Just kidding...
...I see.
Eh, eh? It's not funny?
It's not like I don't know the story.
Are you still concerned over what my brother said during the day?
Riannon. Your father...
Yes?
Ah no, nothing.
Arawn-sama. I can tell many stories regarding Mr. Dragon.
Do you want to hear them?
Sure. But it may make me sad, so...
Would you do it another time?
Huh?
Thank you for remembering.
Yes.
Candidus
