<h4>Chapter Oshiete D-sensei! Lesson 2</h4>


    D「Greetings. We are back with everyone’s favourite segment.」


    M「I’ll do everything to pretend the previous disgrace never happened.」


    D「E-v-e-r-y-o-n-e-’s f-a-v-o-u-r-i-t-e!」


    M「There’s no need to be so desperate… Well, let’s get on with it already.」


    D「E-v-e-r-y-o… [That’s enough, okay?」」


    D「Ahem. Starting from the beginning then, it is time for the second “oshiete D-sensei”. On this asion we shall discuss the gods.」


    M「Ahh, that’s torn it I guess.」


    D「At the time of the Past Arc, it was impossible to give an exnation about the gods. There was no other way, so there was no option except for D-sensei to make an appearance. Thus, this segment was revived.」


    M「How meta.」


    D「That being said, the exnation will not be especially detailed. The subject of the gods bes a huge topic once you start to discuss it, so I shall only exin the parts relevant to the Past Arc.」


    M「Specifically, that would be regarding the dragons and angels, right?」


    D「Correct. As was touched upon in Past Arc ③, the dragons are a bunch of damn fools who believe in the supremacy of dragons.」


    M「Do not use such badnguage! You’re not wrong though.」


    D「Indeed, seriously, they really are a bunch of good for nothings. They are egotistical and haughty creatures who cannot ept not being the best. Nheless, since they are strong at least they are troublesome in the extreme.」


    M「Since the one in charge of the exposition is doing nothing butining I shall give a detailed exnation. Dragons are born with the expectation of being able to reach the realm of gods sooner orter, so they could be called the elite from the moment they’re born. The origins of them are also ancient, as they are said to be the second oldest gods, following the oldest gods known as the titans. They have both history, and power. As a result, they unt their sesses and don’t hesitate to dere that the dragon race are at the very peak, and in fact they rule over manys.」


    D「In short, they are cocky.」


    M「Well, you’re not wrong. However, they do in fact have enough power to justify that. Being gods they carry an enormous amount of energy within themselves for a start, and their bodies are far sturdier than any human’s. In addition they have high intelligence.」


    D「Due to their personalities that high intelligence is not readily apparent though. Being narrow-minded is not good. Gyurie-kun would surely also blush at how he acted in the past.」


    M「Just how much do you hate dragons? Sheesh. Let’s continue the discussion. The greatest trait that dragons have is their boundary field ability. Being able topletely invalidate the workings of magecraft, is the boundary field trait that dragons possess. In modern times the dragons and drakes that appear have the magic obstruction skill which is a deteriorated version of the ability that real dragons have.」


    D「The dragons and drakes that exist within the System are imitations of real dragons after all. The only true dragon left on that is Gyurie-kun.」


    M「There’s noparison between the boundary field of real dragons and the imitations. In particr, the individual recognised as the strongest dragon is even called the “The Unbreakable God”, boasting a defence that invalidates almost all attacks. Such a cheat eh.」


    D「……Like you are one to talk?」


    M「Oh my, what might you be referring to?」


    D「Nope, nothing.」


    M「Well, this is how the dragon species already boasts of possessing perfect strength. A species with such strength would intend to rule over worlds.」


    D「STO-O-P! I shall exin from now on. Or rather, if I let you keep on with the exnations in my segment, it will totally be “oshiete Meido-sensei”. I shall definitely block any further exnations.」


    M「Erm, well, okay. Go ahead.」


    D「As a species the dragons certainly have great power, but the reason why they do not currently rule over worlds is due opposing forces, as I am sure you are already aware. One of them is the angels.」


    M「There are forces other than angels, but those will be left out.」


    D「There are a lot of them after all. If we started talking about them all it would never end. Anyway, with regards to the angel race, they are a bunch with a lot of mysteries about them. In the first ce, it is said that they suddenly appeared after all. This was during the ancient times when the dragons had gotten full of themselves, and it is said that suddenly one day appeared beings who began to kill the gods. I had not yet been born then so I can only go by the rumours though.」


    M「Those times were very chaotic, apparently. At any rate, during the period when there was the two great powers of the dragons and the titans, there was the sudden appearance of a third power.」


    D「Moreover, when it came to gods they attacked indiscriminately. Naturally, it was chaotic. There are various opinions with regards to the true nature of angels, but the most prominent one is the theory that perhaps they are a defence mechanism belonging to the various worlds. ording to this theory, the angels might be a race that was born from worlds that felt a sense of impending crisis due to the gods going rampaging around like drunkards.」


    M「They not only suddenly appeared without any warning, they also only attacked gods after all. And, the aspect that supports this theory more than anything is that the angels evolve by killing gods.」


    D「Indeed. All members of the angel race are capable of evolving by killing gods. If they defeat a strong god they get that much stronger, and if they defeat a smart god they get that much smarter, even adopting the appearance. The reason why many have a humanoid appearance is because they killed the god said to be the originator of the human race. Incidentally, thisw also applies to the worlds as well. If a prominent god dies then the living beings on that world also evolve to be closer to that god. The reason why it is believed that the angels might have a strong connection to the worlds is because of the existence of thisw. Then again, there is an enormous gulf between the rate of evolution of normal living creatures and angels though. An angel will radically evolve on killing a god after all.」


    M「Ironically, as a result of evolving too much and gaining a sense of self, a certain fallen angel appeared who began doing whatever he felt like.」


    D「Indeed. By nature angels are all simr to Sariel who just made her appearance within the story,cking in human kindness and being like machines. Despite her being known as the Goddess with her head full of flowers, I am sure it was unexpected for Sariel to be that type of character.」


    M「Surely.」


    D「In practice she is a woman who will absolutely aplish her mission. Moveover, the worst part about her is that she is a stray angel.」


    M「Regarding her being a “stray angel”, for some reason she has strayed from the main force of angels, yet is still faithfully continuing to aplish her given mission. In this sense her being a stray angel is like a “bug”, and with her being the type to blindly devote herself to her mission without any flexibility she’s causing many troubles. Seriously, why did this individual called Sariel be a stray angel?」


    D「Regarding that, while I am not certain whether it is rted or not, but long ago there was a nuisance of a god rampaging around that area apparently.」


    M「Then isn’t it due to that god? The angel Sariel is a powerful enough individual to meddle with dragons without hesitation it seems. Surely she wouldn’t be a stray angel without something unprecedented urring.」


    D「Indeed, something must have urred. As unprecedented as the god rampaging around in those days killing random gods to improve her skill. Indeed.」


    M「……」


    D「Of course, it is unknown if it was rted. Indeed,pletely unknown.」


    M「U, undoubtedly it was unrted. Surely it was. Let’s say it was okay.」


    D「And we shall leave it at that.」


    D「Well, let’s summarise things for a moment. The on which the main story is set was once the domain of angels. However, some sort, indeed, some sort of trouble urred, and the angels apart from Sariel vanished, leaving Sariel alone to carry out her mission, and properly continued to protect the primitive creatures.」


    M「Hey, please don’t emphasise the “some sort” part!」


    D「Then the dragons secretly settled. Despite being scared of Sariel they waited for their chance to rule the. Sariel was indifferent to anything except her mission to protect the primitive creatures after all. So long as the primitive creatures were left alone they could stay there.」


    M「It’s really touching to hear the effort they put in. I have nothing to say about how they arrived with the desire to rule the ce though.」


    D「They are dragons after all so it cannot be helped.」


    M「That’s dragons for you.」


    D「But, what we have been talking about is what happened prior to the Past Arc. From here on will be Po-no-ji’s secret manoeuvrings, Po-no-ji getting up to bad stuff, Po-no-ji being reckless and all sorts of other bad things.」


    M「Isn’t it generally Po-no-ji’s fault?」


    D「That is terribly correct. Then at the end of the world I shall make my descent! My glorious offer to save the world shall appearter in the Past Arc.」


    M「What a terrible spoiler. Ah, no. You saving the world is a pack of lies.」


    D「Evil Gods don’t lie.」


    M「Liar!」


    D「We shall end this second installment of “oshiete D-sensei” here. Well then, until next time. Good bye!」


    M「Good bye.」


    Gyurigyuri: In the past, I was a rascal to the extent that I would actually say “You damn inferior creatures!”


    Meido-san: In the past, I was a rascal to the extent of killing random gods to improve my skill.


    D: Past and present a rascal.
