Riruko is a dark blue short haired girl. His eyes were the same color as his hair and he was a friend of Arata Akihiro and a schoolgirl under Kirisaki Saitou. Well, at least he could be his friend. This is because Arata has had to separate from his college since he became the subject for the father and Dragon Carlou experiments. That was eighteen years ago.
Kirisaki Saitou himself is indeed a famous martial master, but because of his appearance, half-— bald hair at a young age, which is thirty-six years, he still has no partner for life. However, according to his confession, there have been several women who have slept with him.
"Don't value the book from the cover", is the most appropriate phrase applied to Kirisaki Saitou. Her appearance suggests that she is just an om-om with a pregnant mother-like stomach, carrying a towel around her neck. For the people outside Seiryuu she may be just a man who "lives his life wholeheartedly" and with "jones" in the title.
Many rumors are circulating, his appearance is a form of curse from a Dragon, the payment of power possessed, and much more. Many also believe that Kirisaki Saitou is actually a very handsome man. The paintings that imagine how "the real him" is very good in "the market".
Saitou himself does not mind this as long as his activities do not harm others, let alone himself, because it concerns his self-esteem as well. However, he also never answered the truth why his appearance was so. Does it have anything to do with dragons? Is it possible because of his personal life? For thirty-six years he had not answered at all.
When he was young, no one knew him, because he was an immigrant from a village far from Seiryuu. Unfortunately, the fans of Saitou who with all the possible power to extract information from his home village, could never be obtained. Many mysterious things enveloped Saitou and THAT's what attracted him more.
Not only were the points from the view of the woman, from the male side, let alone his fellow martial masters, or his neighbors, he was a kind and humble man. With the popularity of his dojo (his college), of course he has abundant savings. However, they always heard and saw that the money was always used for the sake of his students. Be it for the sake of food provided in the dojo, facilities, and "study tour" so that students get real experience against magical creatures that they will definitely meet during the trip. Worst of all, if they did not meet him, they would be one-on-one with Saitou himself. The cost of treatment for an injured student is often not cheap.
Therefore, it is not surprising that a Saitou still remembers the face of his student after a dozen years of not showing his nose near the dojo. Yes, Arata is indeed the lips of the Seiryuu community, but Saitou never saw for himself what kind of "monstery" the people rumored. He did know Arata had a lot of Dragon power in his body, but if he didn't train a match, who could prove it?
Saitou is the type of human who believes more in his own eyes than other people's rumors. Nor was he the type of human who judged people too early.
On the other hand, Riruko was a human type who was three hundred and sixty degrees upside down from Saitou. Although he did not understand what his crown son was like now, he believed in the rumors of the people. There is an additional point why it is so and this applies to other people. Zero as emperor never defended Arata, nor did Hitomi Reiko as his princess and sister. He is always busy with his own affairs and if he meets the people on his journey, he always acts high and leaves everything to the servant who is always by his side.
No one will know if Hitomi Reiko is the Yggdrasil Seed, if after Vanadust was fired, he claimed to be one of the important actors in Galdurheim, this, and the servant who always followed him was the Spirit of Yggdrasil.
......................
"WAIT!" Riruko shouted loudly. His shout managed to stop Arata and Saitou's steps to somewhere inside the palace.
With a step that was deliberately stomped, Riruko then approached Arata. "You remember my name, but you didn't ask me for help?! You completely forgot about me, didn't you, Acchan!?"
Arata tilted his head. "Acchan is? You mean me?"
Riruko was struck by lightning. "Who else is it?!"
"I know your name, but are we so close that you called me without a surname and title?"
Riruko is falling into the abyss. He bowed afterwards.
Saitou who knows something from the two of them, tries to mediate. "Well, Arata, don't you remember your promise with—"
Riruko who heard it immediately ambushed Saitou's mouth and locked him with her fist. He whispered, "never dare you say that to him!" the red hue on his cheek immediately became apparent.
Saitou who was shocked and did not expect "attack" Riruko immediately nodded rapidly.
"Hmm?" Arata doesn't really understand what just happened. "Of you guys, this is a serious situation, don't joke! Riruko, if you just want to talk, then. I'll come back to you and listen to everything you want to say after my business is done. So—" Arata stopped because he felt Riruko ki increased.
Arata. "I appreciate your intention to help me, but you can help me from here. Prepare a place, tent, and emergency kitchen."
"What the fuck? It's suspicious. You asked and begged us to help you but you refused me to help you?!"
"Yes. That's right."
Riruko felt stung again in her heart. He was grinding his teeth. "WHY?!"
Arata increasingly did not understand why this girl was suddenly this rude. Just as Arata was about to return his shout with a shout, Saitou got in the way. He patted Arata on the shoulder then shook his head and coded that they were still the center of many people's eyes. Riruko's screams make it last longer.
Arata understood it and immediately regulated his emotions. "The place I'm going to visit has something to do with dragons. I can't explain who and where, but the Dragon doesn't want its place destroyed. I don't want to aggravate his mood for bringing in a stranger other than Mr. Master Saitou who everyone knows what his strength is like."
Arata's logical reason is inevitably accepted by Riruko's heart. He fell limp. "In other words, you don't believe me and think I'm weak?"
Arata stared for a long time at Riruko, before finally answering, "A world is at stake and I can't put myself first. I'm not you, Riruko."
Riruko felt some awkwardness. He reworked his words correctly in the brain, then he realized that....
The short-haired girl raised her head. He saw Arata and Saitou in front of the green glowing portal. "You never change, Riruko. Of course I remember you. Why do you doubt me? I'm so sad."
Arata then goes inside with Saitou. The last words from Arata immediately forced Riruko to shed her tears profusely. He was fooled easily by the Arata gelagat who put the persona "men forget the promise".

When the two reached their destination, Saitou immediately asked, "Are you sure? I thought you completely forgot your promise of five years."
"forget? Not likely. I love him, Mr. Teacher. Even after receiving the experiment that always hurt me, I still loved her and watched her from a distance.
"Do you think I don't know that he's been vilifying my name in front of so many people and making fun of me as a monster?
"I know everything.
"Even after I lured him to speak to me with four eyes, that's what he said. He said he didn't believe it, but from the beginning he didn't believe me.
"I've fallen in love with the wrong person, Mr. Teacher...."
