7 Settling Down
(Sometimes before a certain slime arrives)
「 Oorrghh- Is it finally time ? 」
While the Dragon of Destruction was waking up, a dryad was heading to the cave, and saw that the Dragon was awake from its slumber.
「 Sir, Antares ? 」
「 A dryad ? What are you doing here ?」
「 I came here everyday to clean the cave from the corrosion of your aura. 」
「 I should thanks you then ! 」("How long have I been asleep ? I can still sense Veldora's aura")
「 I have a question, did a certain slime appeared ? 」「 A talking slime ? How odd, there is no talking slime sir. 」「 Wait, what is your name ? 」 「 It's Treyni. 」「 Oh, your name is Treyni. 」
「 Well, Treyni, I slept for a long time, can you tell me what notable events occurred since I went to sleep. 」「 There is now more demon lord, the war against Angel happened, Veldora has been sealed in a cave nearby by a Hero. 」「 Well well, a lot of things happened during my absence. 」
「 What are you going to do, now ? 」
「 I don't want to announce my return yet, I will first settle down. Can you recommend me a place to settle down.」
「 Sure. 」
Treyni and Antares then headed to somewhere to the west of the Great Jura Forest.
The forest was huge, filled with living being, ferocious beast everywhere, yet the forest was beautiful.
Treyni and Antares, walked for a bit, until Antares saw it, a tree, a perfect tree, it was filled with magicule, it was sturdy, tall, just perfect.
「 How is it so strong ? 」「 It is a world tree, a young one, it was formed after one of our sisters died, it is something very rare. 」「 Well, I wish to make my house at the bottom of it. 」「 You can, but let me remind you that everyday, humans come with the wish to destroy it because the wood of a world tree is the best, but even thought they always failed, it's still a pain in the as* to deal with them.」 「 Well, if they come, they will find me. 」
With the help of Treyni, he built his house with the best wood he could find. It was not too small, yet not too big, he wanted to keep a simple aspect. It had a garden, which remembered him of his house in his former hometown.
For 5 months, Antares lived here, with Treyni coming everyday, and sometimes bringing others Dryad, after living for 5 months inside the forest, Dryad got fond of him, for dealing with the adventurers who came everyday to mess with the forest. His house became much more peaceful, harmless magic beast came everyday, to rest, or drink in the pond he placed.
The garden was filled with beautiful flowers and trees, with a vegetable plot, where he planted a lot of food.
He even adopted a pet, which he named Yleglis, a cute pig, with wisteria flowers acting as his hairs, Yleglis can heal people from a long range, his healing went further after being named by Antares.
However, peace didn't ruled the forest.
Humans were truly persistent, just like cockroaches.
They kept coming, one after another one, it was something almost admirable. But it was foolish.
Everyday, they would come to hunt magical beast, or try to chop my beautiful tree. At first, he didn't mind taking care of them himself, but it became a pain, especially when all Antares wanted was peace, which was ironic since he was the Monarch of Destruction.
To deal with them, Antares decided to appoint more guardians, to help the dryad, and what could be the best, if not, his own people. Yes, he called lesser dragon from his dimension. He called 2 lesser dragon, named Red and Blue (because they are Red and Blue, obviously.).

「 TELL ME HOW CAN SO MANY PEOPLE DIE ??? EVEN WHEN YOU SENT OUR BEST ADVENTURERS ? 」shouted a mysterious person.
「 Guilde Master, it seems that a great foe has appeared, dragons has come to the forest. 」
「 DRAGONS ? JUST MERE DRAGONS ??? UNLESS IT'S A TRUE DRAGONS WE CAN SEND S-RANK ADVENTURERS. 」「 DECLARE THAT WE ARE AT WAR AGAINST THOSE DRAGONS, WE WILL GO NEXT WEEK ! 」

「 Sir Antares, it seems a small country declared war against you ! 」("It seems I can't stay lowkey anymore !")
