Hero's Mother After – Chapter 4, Prologue Part 4, Finally, 500 years
Mel's Perspectives
Every day is so boring.
There is a lot of time, but there is hardly anything I want to do.
It's really tedious...
"Ahh... I finally finished reading this completely."
I've always liked reading books, so I went to various libraries and read a lot of books.
And being the "Queen of Kohane", I read anything, even if it was a banned book.
By doing that, I learned the rare skill of "speed reading", where just touching a book would make its contents all stick in my head... But I wish I didn't get that skill.
After all, I read a books because I'm bored...
I mean, if I spend my life traveling from library to library and locking myself up to read for 200 years, I'll run out of books to read...
Anyway, as I was wandering around because I had nothing to do...
I came across a group of dragons (ドラゴン)... They're inferior creatures compared to dragon (竜)...
"Hey, you little..." snarled the largest dragon, baring his teeth.
I stood on the ground, refusing to back down. "Huh! What did you say..." I glared at them because I was sleep-deprived...
But as soon as I saw them, I froze...
'I-I didn't realize... please don't kill me,' I cried and begged while prostrating myself on the ground...
By the way, it was in dragon language, so normal people wouldn't understand it...
Well, that's right... I'm the adopted daughter of the divine dragon Ceres... but I'm afraid of dragons too...
'You don't have to cry... now, go on'
But even though it was just that...
After a while...
"Mel, the crying dragon" was added to my name... it's so annoying!

"Why should I be the principal of the academy?" I scowled at the higher-up, my voice laced with disbelief. "And what does it mean to be the supreme ruler of the academy?"
"Well, because you're the Great Sage and the Queen of Kohane, Mel-sama..." The higher-up's voice trailed off uncertainly.
"No, it's too much trouble." I sighed heavily, her tone tinged with annoyance. "I used to admire it a little, but come on... I don't need a position... it's ridiculous."
"Um, could I please use your name at least?" The higher-up sounded a little desperate now.
"Fine, but don't bother me at all..." I speak with clipped and icy tone, leaving no room for argument.
"Well, restrictions are really annoying, after all..." The higher-up muttered under their breath, clearly disappointed with Mel's response.

Today, I came to visit Sharon-san who is ill.
I wonder if it's because she served Ceres... she's lived a long time.
"Amazing... Mel-san looks just like she did back then..." she remarked with a hint of nostalgia.
I smiled faintly. "Yes, indeed..." My tone trailed off as I contemplated something.
"But Sharon-san... If you want, I can make you live longer, about 150 years. After all, I learned the forbidden spell," I said with conviction.
Sharon's head shook vigorously in protest. "No, no, that's enough," she replied with a mix of disbelief and apprehension.
I sighed, resigned to Sharon's decision. "Another acquaintance will soon be gone from my life," I murmured, my voice laced with melancholy.
"I won't come to the funeral... unfortunately, Sharon-san won't be able to see Ceres again... but there is an afterlife, and you can live happily in the underworld... so death is not scary... That's why I won't show up at the funeral," I said, her voice soft and reassuring.
Sharon nodded slowly, absorbing the information. "I understand... thank you for the valuable information... now I'm not afraid to die," she said with a mixture of gratitude and relief.

"Tell him I said no," I replied firmly.
"But he's quite a handsome guy, isn't he?" the deputy pressed, his tone tinged with curiosity.
"Looks don't matter... it's about the inside," I retorted, my voice laced with conviction.
"This is the 20th time... what kind of man does Mel-sama like?" the deputy asked, his voice tinged with frustration.
It's another matchmaking photo... frankly, it's annoying... I thought, my annoyance seeping into my tone.
"You know... well, I wouldn't even look at the picture if it weren't a good-looking man on par with Zect or Ceres (laughs)," I chuckled, his tone lightening.
"It's impossible... I give up," the deputy sighed, his voice heavy with defeat.
* * *
"My name is Mel, the only sage in this world... and a master of destructive magic."
Boom, booooooom...
Well, that's one mountain out of the way...
I learned the forbidden spell of destruction magic... but it feels empty.
There is almost no conflict in this world...
And most of the strong people are related to Ceres, so I can't fight them...
Now I can welcome even Mammon...
* * *
Really, it's a boring everyday life...
It's finally been 500 years since Zect died...
The only acquaintances still alive are the demons... haha, and besides, the Four Heavenly Kings other than Skull King have already retired... but what does it mean to be friends with the Demon King Luciferd and Skull King...?
Sigh I wish 300 years would pass quickly... it's boring...
