Even a Cicada Becomes a Dragon If Reborn

The cicadas cry resounds throughout the world (2)

tomo wasnt crying while translating this . . .

Thermosphere.

It was the outside layer of the atmosphere at a altitude of more than 800km from the ground.

I didnt know if you could call it part of the atmosphere anymore since the air was so thin.

Because the sun rays werent blocked by anything, they directly burned on my body and in this high place my body blazed up like fire.

However the temperature itself was low and the air was too thin too. Such a mysterious place.

I the strongest creature on the earth, if I hadnt used wind magic to create a barrier, I would have never reached this place.

I stopped at the middle of the thermosphere.

Released from gravitation I kept rising and I would likely be thrown out into space.

In an ancient age, in the age where the ancient arms arose, there seemed to people who flew further than the thermosphere with the help of a starship, but this was my limit.

I will never let the shell of the star break.

The spherical sea and earth extended before my eyes.

And right below there was Yggdrasil that I would protect.

Yggdrasil was a tree with a height of 20.000 meters but from so far away she looked small.

Though I only noticed it because I saw her from right above, but Yggdrasil was shaped like a wineglass.

When I looked up from the trunk, Yggdrasils branches and leaves were like a globe and at the upper part there was a giant empty hole.

Holy Grail.

That word appeared in my head.

It was a holy container that was hidden somewhere in the world.

The person who obtained it would be granted an invulnerable body and everlasting prosperity.

A great number of adventurers and kings of nation wanted it and searched for it, but still the sacred treasure wasnt found. That was the Holy Grail.

No wonder why nobody had found it.

Yggdrasil was always beautiful, but today she was special.

Yggdrasil began to gradually shine. Light rose up from her trunk, extended to the branches and covered the leaves.

The huge blue star extended before my eyes. And I understood that all the power of the star was gather to Yggdrasil.

It was the intention of the blue star.

The blood which all beings should shed, Yggdrasil would take it instead.

Yggdrasil would exchange her life to catch the red star.

What deceit!

To keep all living beings alive, the mother of all living beings had to be killed?!

Her corpse and ash would bring prosperity, so you are telling me that she was nothing but a seedbed?!

Star! Blue star! This is what I call deception!

To the green and gentle her, are you telling her to follow the red star to death?!

I looked up at the sky.

The red star was large. It grew by the moment.

The atmosphere shook.

No, it was me who was trembling.

From space, while scattering an abominable cloud, an oval red star was heading for the blue star.

It was a diameter of approximately ten kilometers.

I asked the knowledge of the old dragons. Could I overcome that?

What if it was ten kilometers? It was just like one mountain.

The dragons roar could smash a mountain into pieces.

. . . and it wasnt possible. The dragons knowledge told me.

That was dangerous. That was no good.

It was a mass of infinite violence. Its power couldnt be measured at all.

If it hit the ground, it would create a huge explosion on impact and the released energy would instantly vaporize every living being on the island where the dragon lived.

Dust and poison would be scattered into the atmosphere and the star would be covered in the coldest winter for ten years.

In these ten years all living beings on the star would die out.

Plants, humans and animals. I was also included.

The dragons knowledge told me so.

How unreasonable!

It only said that it came from beyond the world and contained infinite energy inside its body?!

The blue star which was tens of thousands time larger would be turned to a black star of death?!

Are you saying that it would swallow everything?!

If it only destroys then I will destroy it!

A dragon was only like a pebble in front of that star. Today on this day, I realized that the last dragon would die out.

Its alright

I felt like I heard someones voice. When I looked down, green liked filled her and she shone.

The Holy Grail was filled.

The power of life overflowed from Yggdrasils branches and leaves. A huge amount of magic power and vitality was collected from the star and was gathered there.

The power of death from the red star would be confronted with the green power of life.

Because I, to be in this place, was born into this world

I remembered her words. For the blue star it was all as planned.

After giving birth to Yggdrasil, the ominous red star would also fall in place.

The branches and leaves formed a cup so that she could take all the impact when the meteorite hit and that was the Design of it.

The trunk which had grown for a long time would act as cushioning material for the falling meteorite, that was its Use.

After calculating everything from the beginning the star had made Yggdrasil.

And to play her part, Yggdrasil had grown slowly until now.

The memory of the dragon didnt reach the age of ancient times . . .

Whats with this destiny!?

The green you. You, for only this day, for all living beings on the star, for what have you lived until now?!

Millions of years or even tens of millions of years. What have you lived for all this time?!

With such a destiny, how could you be so gentle?!

Werent you scared?! Of the ferocious red star?!

Arent you scared?! Of the darkness of death?!

Please escape

I felt like she had said that.

The power of death from the red star in the sky.

The power life from the green on the ground.

And I finally realized. I was just out of place here.

Yggdrasil was the only one able to oppose that. With the trivial body of a dragon, it wasnt possible to fight against that.

And the red star finally broke through the atmosphere.

The red ice which covered the body of the star, began evaporate from the solar heat and the friction of the air and red steam gushed forth from many places.

It turned into an endlessly huge fireball.

The roaring sound of tearing air, I couldnt hear it.

It was only natural. Because the red star was moving faster than sound.

It came from beyond the world, the other party which was an existence of a different dimension and my body began to tremble GakuGaku.

With the color of blood my head also cooled off.

My roar couldnt crush that red star.

Even with my strongest roar I could probably only scrape the surface of the ice.

The speed of red star was much faster than my wings and it headed towards me.

In not even ten seconds my body would be swallowed by the red star.

Please escape!

The voice that I shouldnt be able to hear, I once again heard.

I see. I would die a meaningless death in this place, what will become of me. I would have been glad if she could survive.

And I once again had the illusion that she was telling me to run.

Please run away!

The instinct of the creature dragon also warned me.

Its useless. Its impossible. Its certain death.

I dont want to die! There is still time! Fly with all your power! Escape from the line of fire from the red star!

Yggdrasil doesnt matter! I want to live!

My body screamed that.

Please run!

The sage wisdom born from the dragons knowledge admonished me.

Its impossible for you. It wont come true. Only on this star you are the strongest.

You arent the strongest on a different star. Its a meaningless death.

Dont worry about Yggdrasil, the star will save you too.

So my brain whispered.

You should escape. You must escape.

I turned my back to the red star and though of running away with all my power.

Lets sing

Only once. Only the small soul of the cicada said so.

In the body with the dragons knowledge only the small soul of the cicada foolishly repulsed it.

For your loved ones, I say that you should sing.

The song of courtship, I tell you to sing it to her.

As loud as possible, I want to sing. With all my life I want to sing.

Thats right, Im a cicada. The cicada should only sing.

For my loved ones, I should sing. With a loud voice, I should sing.

I want her to hear it. My song, I want you to hear it.

Therefore,

Lets sing

Ahh, lets sing.

Can you hear it Yggdrasil?

Did it reach you Yggdrasil?

The heart of a cicada in the body of a dragon.

Though I have such an odd body

I to you

I love you

Can I break it, this star?

I pulled myself together and clung awkwardly at the huge star and just kept repeating my roar.

The heat from the friction of the atmosphere was terrible. My blood which was the elixir began to boil and steam rose from the area of my navel.

When I clashed with the red star, the lower half of my body had disappeared. The elixir was weak against heat too.

Until Yggdrasils place, how much distance was left?

Until then I would shave off as much possible from this star.

To the sized where she wouldnt die, could I reduce this star?

With the power left in me, how much of the star could be crushed?

I shouldnt, I shouldnt. It wasnt the time to stop my song.

For her I must sing.

Because I want her to live.

Because I want it to work for her.

The roar of courtship, roaring and courting.

For what am I singing, I didnt understand it.

The blood boiled because of the friction and even my brain might be burned.

Only this time I had been singing for Yggdrasil, I didnt understand.

The dragons knowledge, blood and meat I steadily lost but that didnt matter.

Lets sing more

Ah, lets sing. My soul.

Because I love her, lets sing.

And I noticed it at last.

For the one I love I want to sing.

Can you hear it, Yggdrasil?

Did it reach you, Yggdrasil?

If you couldnt hear it, I will sing with a louder voice.

If it didnt reach you, I will sing with a stronger voice.

Ahh, Im happy. Being able to sing for you.

Only for you Im able to sing.

Because I didnt know you where you are already.

So to you wherever you are.

Resound through the world! My song of joy and courtship!

Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing . . .

And then I realized that I was lying on the ground.

I could hear the sound of someone crying from far away.

When I moved my eyes I saw that someone from the harpy race was there crying because she had raised her voice.

I didnt understand it but its okay. Its getting heavy.

Someone small and soft was pressed against my body.

It was a baby. At his side was the mother. The baby looked just like the mother.

I didnt understand it but its okay. Its getting heavy.

Then came a lizardman with funny clothes and strangled me.

Huh? Will she kill me? I somehow felt that it was different but I didnt understand it.

However, after a bit she wasnt there anymore.

A frog was crying. I thought that I must also sing but because of my body I wasnt able to sing.

Giants were crying. They were tremendously crying, its getting heavy. I didnt know what to compare it with.

Giant . . san! . . . wo! . . . that place! Hurry!

It was like a mountain cat, a high pitched voice I could hear close by.

The mountain cat like girl clung to me and I was carried somewhere by large hands.

Where will they carry me to?

Where will I live?

Soon, I wanted to go.

I was dropped on my side.

And from there a very timid whisper could be heard.

Its warmth was transmitted and my soul shook with joy.

Ah, Thank you! Thank you!

To the person who brought me here even though I didnt know you!

Thats it! I wanted to meet you!

I know! I know! Only you I currently know.

Yggdrasil.

I heard Yggdrasil crying.

What a relief. She was alive. Yggdrasil.

My song, did you hear it?

My song, did it reach?

I love you.

From Yggdrasils word a lot of sorrow was transmitted.

Its different. Yggdrasil. I didnt want to make you feel sad.

I wanted you to hear it. For you. My song, only to you.

Dont cry. Because I will sing.

For you, for you, once again.

Only once more, I will sing with my all.

With a loud voice.

I will sing for you
