Epilogue: Even a cicada becos a dragon if reborn

I was surrounded by darkness.

It was like an eternity in the darkness.

The darkness was similar to the earth.

Where was this, who was I, I didnt know.

The things left to do, I felt like a very important thing was left to do, but I didnt understand it well.

Humans regard darkness as death and light as life, so this should be death.

I could neither feel gravity nor see the horizon. It was just black.

But why was it? I could only feel temperature here.

In this darkness of death I only felt warmth.

In the eternal darkness I thought was the end, in the world of darkness that was closed off, sothing warm was transmitted.

From near and far, voices were transmitted.

. . . nee nee, when will ryuu-sama be born?

Soon, he will be born soon

Can I touch it?

D-d-dont. I-i-it would be bad if the egg broke.

Hey Minmi! Behave yourself!

Muu . . . ryuu-sama is inside right? He might wake up if I touch it?

You shouldnt. We should just keep watching until the ti ryuu-sama intends to wake up by himself.

Hes such a sleepyhead. He sleeps all the ti.

So. Its been seven years already. He has been sleeping all the ti since Minmi was born.

He sleeps too much. Why does he do that? Nee, Harpy oneechan.

Minmi! I said that you should behave yourself!

. . . Miko-sama. Will ryuu-san rember us?

That . . ., I think will be difficult. The knowledge and mories dwelled in the body of the dragon. After losing his blood and at . . ., already.

. . . The dragon is nearly as big as .

The egg is what was left behind by a miracle. At that ti, if Yggdrasils sap wasnt flowing inside his head after he died, then this egg might have never existed.

You were so great and took to the top of the clouds . . . . All those things . . . . Have you forgotten them . . .

If he forgot them we only have to tell him it once again! The unknown has just to be known! . . . Because I, because ryuu-san had taught a lot, so now it is my turn to teach him this ti!

Nyuju-chan . . .

Thats right. Teaching him various things he doesnt know, what greater joy is there in the world?

Geeko geko geko geko!

Hmm. Music and sculpting, we will teach it to him once again.

M-m-making totem poles, I-I will teach him.

Nee, Harpy oneechan. Did ryuu-sama make that huge totem pole?

Thats right. Everyones favorite totem pole was made by him. Minmi do you like the totem pole?

Un, love! Because everyone is smiling!

. . . Minmi, your na. I got it from ryuu-samas cry.

Eh, ryuu-sama cries? Mother is a liar. A dragons cry is a scary voice. Nee? Nyuju oneechan.

No, only ryuu-san who made the totem pole cried MinMin.

Really? Then, why does ryuu-sama cry MinMin?

That . . ., I dont know.

Even Nyuju oneechan doesnt know.

. . . but, I always think that he should cry like that.

Yes. I want to hear it again. Ryuu-sans song.

Geeko geko geko geko . . .

Then, if I sing MinMin, will the sleepyhead ryuu-sama wake up? He shouldnt be able to understand our words right?

Ara. Thats a great idea. Its there for prenatal care too.

Yes. When Minmi was in my belly, he should have heard that song every day.

Yes. You can start singing anyti. But you mustnt touch it, only sing okay?

Yes. To ryuu-sama who never wakes up, I will sing with a loud voice.

Jaja, jaja. T-t-together now Se~ no l-l-lets sing.

(TLN: se~ no is like ready set go)

Yosh. Everyone . . ., see~ noo!

The outside world, was noisy but sowhat warm.

My body continued getting warr. It felt comfortable. Because its comfortable, should I sleep a little more? I thought so.

We are waiting

And I heard a voice.

For you to sing again

It was like a sound wave but the voice didnt reach my ears.

For us to et once again

To my heart, to my soul, the voice was speaking directly to it.

We believe

It was a gentle, soft and clear voice.

Because you

Ah, who are you?

Because you promised

I rember.

Because you promised to sing for once again

I rember only you.

This ti, we will sing together

Though I forgot her na, I rember her.

With a loud voice like you

I rember your voice.

Like this

My soul rembered.

My soul danced.

I didnt know her. However, I knew that she was soone more important than anyone else.

I shouldnt keep her waiting. It wasnt the ti to forever stay in this dark world.

Because I wanted to et you for a long ti. Because I had searched for you for a long ti.

I broke through the black world.

And the shell that covered this world of darkness was broken.

Its light.

and

its you

What should I do, my soul told .

Lets sing

Ah, lets sing.

(THE END)
