Resurrection of Duke Werstein ~ I Didn’t Hear Anything About Being A Middle-aged Man ~ 35

//Melki: hello, thank you for bearing with me to this point, as I've mentioned before this is my first time translating and I'm working hard to better my ways, I appreciate you all sticking up to here. I'll be changing a few things to make it more simple and enjoyable to read, such as from now on I will be using "butler-san" instead of "shitsuji-san" and all title such as "duke" and others will be fully translated into english, some things however will remain in romaji such as names of groups like the "Shinku" and also things like "onmitsu-san" which in case you forgot is referring to Cinza, until I can think of a fixed better way to translate them without having them mixed up with anything and providing the best experience without losing too much in the translation. Now please, enjoy the translation!

A/n: Sorry for the delay...!

---

Surrounded by the frozen ground and flowers and grasses, there was a pale blue scaled dragon standing stunned in front of me.

It was so stunned and frozen that it looked almost pathetic.

What the hell is this, what am I supposed to do with it?

Well, should I say something?

What?

Sorry that your attack didn't get through to me at all?

That's just going to make me feel even worse.

I can't, I can't say that.

I don't know. The silence hurts.

But if I don't say something, I'll be stuck here forever, won't I?

I felt such an incomprehensible fear that I thought, let it happen! I opened my mouth with a kind of desperation.

“Well, did you just do something, just now?"

Crossing arms gracefully and tilting head slightly in an oblique manner.

No, I'm really sorry, that's the only line that came out.

Because I don't think Augusto-san would apologize to a lower ranked person.

Or rather, I don't think he should.

It would destroy his dignity.

I felt sorry for him, but if I can’t, then I think it can’t be helped.

And sure enough, the dragon was in chaos.

'Wh…, Wh, What? It's impossible for a mere human being to be unscathed by my serious attack, it's impossible!'

He is very upset.

Shaking his head he retreated backwards flustered, perhaps in fear of the unknown.

No, how much is that.

What, did you think I was that weak?

Then I guess I should tell you this, right?

I took in another small breath and then addressed the dragon.

"About that, there's one thing you've been wrong about for a while now."

'W-what is it?'

He was so freaked out that he was stammering, but I forced myself not to care and continued.

"I'm not human, but a wiseman"

'That's a lie!! A wiseman-sama can't be that weak in magic power!!'

The moment he said it, he was frightened and opened his mouth to bark back.

However, the atmosphere was more like the howling of a defeated dog than the howling of a defeated dragon.

Confused and bewildered, he seemed to have lost track of what was going on.

No! Absolutely not! and so on, noisily calling out.

What a dragon, that can’t be helped.

I had no choice but to make him understand somehow.

If he's this scared, he's probably aware of my abilities, so it’s fine if he knows the magic power or whatever.

I don't know what to do, but I heard that magic is all about images, so I'm going to try my best to visualize it.

Anyway, I just need to make sure that only the dragon can feel the magic in my body, so I can kind of, you know, fire... no I can't do that, or the dragon will fly.

I don't know, maybe I should use an x-ray projection, or something like that, to release just a part of it.

In addition, I'll add an optional image of magic power in my voice to scare him.

I don’t really get it, but I can probably do it.

I took a deep breath and let it all out as words.

'You're really not very bright, are you?'

Even though that was all I said, the dragon stiffened its huge body as if it was frightened.

I was a little intimidated by the unexpected reaction, but I still tried my best to continue my words to the dragon.

'Why don't you notice that I'm hiding my magic power?'

At that moment, the dragon trembled and fell to the ground as if it were collapsing, without hiding its fear.

‘A, ahh…!'

With the sound of the ground shaking, another cloud of dust rose.

The next thing I know, I hear a sound like water leaking out of nowhere, and... Was it from the dragon?

It wasn't just a puddle of water because of its huge size.

The water was spreading like a broken water pipe.

Perhaps because of this, the plants and flowers that had been frozen around the dragon seemed to be coming back to life.

Well, they froze once, so I guess they'll die later.

... No, no, no, no, eh?

Wait, no, what?

What? Did I make you leak?

Did I scare the dragon too much and made it leak?

I pulled everything back in a panic and checked on the dragon, but it was still soaked all over.

It was beyond leaking, that I don't even know what to say anymore.

... Uhm, just one thing.

I'm starting to get really scared.

You know, I was just a normal human girl.

And now I'm in a body with the power to blow up a giant creature like this with just a slap, break its heart, and make it pee its pants, and I'm terrified.

Scary.

It's so easy to break things.

Even such a huge creature is frightened like this.

I'm even more scared that I have no idea how much power this body I'm in now has.

Because up until now, this has been normal for me, the norm.

What should I do?

Ah, oh no, after becoming aware of it I can’t move.

Seriously, what should I do?

I stiffened up as much as I could.

I can't do this anymore, I can't even move a finger.

Because what if it explodes just by moving, I can't say with confidence that it's impossible.

It's really going to happen, the explosion.

It could do that, the explosion.

I froze alone, thinking.

’The hell you doin', you dumbass!!!'

'Nuguoooooh!!'

With such a roar, the red dragon suddenly appeared and collided with the light blue dragon.

In the midst of all the dust, smoke, dirt, mud, and moisture flying around, I instantly thought, Wow, that's too much, and before I knew it, a transparent wall had formed around me.

I wonder if this is what I imagined when I used to play with boys in elementary school.

Because I just remembered it for a moment.

Touch! You're next!

Buh-buh! I just put up an invalid barrier, so I'm safe!

It's like that barrier.

Thanks to this, I'm not dirty at all, but my surroundings and the barrier are a disaster.

It was a soggy, muddy mess.

I thought that the dragon had exploded on its own even though I hadn't done anything yet, but that was not the case at all.

No, wait a minute, there's something more.

'I did say we should look for ours, but I didn't say we should pick a fight with wiseman-sama, what’s with you, you fool!!'

‘Eh, wait, mahbu-oh!!'

‘Why didn’ you check with the spririst before hand, you dunce!

And you can’t tell from the difference in strength, you idiot!'

‘Ah, stop, old lady!!'

The next thing I knew, the light blue dragon was in the mounted position and being beaten to a pulp by the red dragon.

To be more specific, the red dragon on horseback is punching the light blue dragon in the face, alternating right and left.

'What the hell are you exposing me for!! How are you going to take responsibility!?'

‘Ah, no, I mean, I’m sorry…'

'You think you can get away with apologizing, you fucking idiot?'

‘Aaaaah!'

The red dragon continues to strike while making a continuous thumping sound.

Uh well actually, at this point I’m starting to feel sorry, I think it’s about time you let him go… There was no room for me to interrupt.

Also, um, there's going to be more damage around, so I think it's time for you to calm down.

I can't help it anymore, so I decided to put some magic into my voice and say the words.

'Calm down, I'm unharmed.'

It was a disaster all around me, but I didn't care.

Then, with a bang, the red dragon pulled away from the pale blue dragon.

‘Aha!! Don't you ever do that again, you son of a bitch.'

‘Guhah, yesh… I’m very, extremely sorry...'

The red dragon seems to have listened to my words quietly, and then turns to the pale blue dragon and tells it off.

And even though he was in a state of complete dispair, he did his best to say he was sorry.

... Now, the red dragon was acting kind of awful, but I think I'll just chalk it up to my imagination.

I want to, but it might be too intense for me.

'I'm really sorry, wiseman-sama, for the inconvenience our dragon has caused you.'

The red dragon's demeanor had changed, and it was now crawling on the ground, lowering its huge body and apologizing sincerely.

I was a little nervous, though only inwardly, because the area was flooded with water due to the light blue dragon's thing.

... I hope it's okay.

No, yeah, well, the less you know, the better.

Let's just leave it at that.

By the way, what the wind spirits are currently doing is playing tag with each other, as if they got bored.

It's a rather incomprehensible situation.

Okay, let's leave it alone.

'There's no need to worry about it.

But it seems that I went a little too far, let me apologize.'

The main thing is, I'm really sorry for making that pale blue dragon over there leak and then having to apologize after it just spread.

"You have nothing to apologize for, wiseman-sama! It's all the fault of our shitty dowager, I'll train him properly, please forgive me…!'

No, fucking dowager, that means you're husband and wife, right?

What, are you okay with that kind of relationship?

What more are you going to do to that kid?

You're covered in mud, you're covered in blood, even though it’s the complete round of wounds?

No, no, no, no, that's a little too pitiful, I think, please don't do that.

'You don't have to worry about that anymore.

I've personally disciplined that dragon.'

'What the...! I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you! You should apologize too!'

'I'm really, really sorry...'

The red dragon forcibly grabbed the light blue dragon's head and drove it into the ground, making a terrible noise.

And even in such a state, the light blue dragon does his best to apologize.

But please don't let him do that, because he's probably in a daze right now.

I mean, how long should I keep doing this thing where I put my magical power into my voice?

I don't know, but I think I'll keep doing it for a little while longer to give myself a foil.

Also, I think I'm going to change the direction of the conversation, because it's going to go in circles.

'Don't worry about it,

By the way, I heard your eggs were stolen. ......'

Then the red dragon lowered its head again, adjusting its posture as if in some kind of panic.

'I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I've involved the innocent wiseman-sama in my family's affairs…!'

No, that's not necessary.

‘I don’t mind.

Do you have any ideas or leads?'

I stared at the red dragon as if to say, just explain it to me, and he finally began to explain, as if it had made up its mind.

'…It's just that, unusually for the dragon race, ours had a shell color similar to that of wyverns, so we had it mixed in with wyvern eggs in a wyvern nest.'

‘Hmm.'

I responded to his explanation with a simple gesture to encourage the continuation.

'However, when I went to check on them the other day, I found that ours had somehow disappeared from the wyvern nest.'

Uhm, well, I guess that's it.

There are a lot of things to complain about, but I think I'll just leave it at that.

It's a pain in the ass.

'We dragons can lose track of our own eggs, but we can distinguish them from other eggs by instinct, and that's how we found out...'

I don't know what's going on here, but I guess that's how dragons are.

'Based on the human footprints around the wyvern's nest, we thought it must have been a human... We couple worked together to search for it, relying on a few clues...'

'I see, that was a disaster.'

I had guessed most of it from the words and actions of the light blue dragon, but it was not much different.

'As a result, I've been taking advantage of any strongman I see... So that's what happened.'

‘My deepest apologies’

Somehow they seem super dissapointed.　

Wait, wait, don't be so depressed, what should I do, I have to follow up, let's see.

On the outside, I looked cool and calm, but on the inside, I was still in a panic, but thankfully, my brilliant brain was able to formulate a dialogue and I said it out loud.

'It's for your child, isn't it? If you're a parent, it can’t be helped/

The more important the child, the more distraught the parent becomes.'

'What kind words... Thank you very much…!'

I stopped putting magic into my voice and spoke as softly as I could to the red dragon, who was once again prostrate on the spot.

'... It's time for you to raise your head.

I'm not in the hobby of flogging people who are that remorseful.'

'Yes! It's a great pleasure!'

It's like a commoner facing a lord in a period drama, where the lord is respected with such vigor that it's actually very difficult to react.

That's what I'm talking about! I'm not sure how to react.

No, Augusto-san's knowledge of the aristocracy is such that I'm used to this reaction, but the problem is that I'm dealing with a dragon.

If such a huge body lays flat it’s a problem.

No, I'm really in trouble.

"As expected of you, Master...! You've managed to subdue even a dragon…!"

Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice, shaking with emotion.

When I turned my head to look at him, I saw our butler-san there.

“This Gulf Trasse is awe in admiration…!!"

“As expected of the Master…!!"

"I never thought you'd be this strong…!"

In addition, some of them came looking at me with sparkling eyes.

................

Look!! As I thought it ended up like this, no wayyyyy!!
