The Lazy Dragon is Working Hard Extra Chapter: Runamiria diary

Author note: sorry this chapter is late. Anyway this chapter completed the series.

My name, is Runamiria. I am a spirit that spent my time in bliss. My lord is the God of Sloth which brilliantly done his job to eliminate the crisis of Gaia. Even if it was originally a job for Pride but he take all of his arrogance and asked for assistance. Indeed my lord is the best.

Although the enemy is so formidable that he could destroyed countless planets but going against my lord was a foolish thing to do. At best in the netherworld he will regretted his decision to fight him.

However there is still the bad habit of my lord, he is often go over board. This time he iverdi ut a little and broke one of the planet in Chimera constellation. Since it was Pride request to do this so it seems that he was the one that is asked to do the repair since my lord has gone into a deep sleep because of exhaustion.

“Uuu.. it wasn’t my fault. That planet, don’t ask me to repair it. It wasn’t on our contract. It’s a violation of labor standards act, I will appeal to the union… zzzzzzzz….”

I don’t know if it was really exhausting for him since afterwards my lord keep on having nightmares and sleep talking. My job is to make sure that my lord can sleep comfortably.

“Don’t worry my lord, the work has finished. You can take a rest.”

With that whisper on his ear, he groaned and again returned to his peaceful slumber. Seeing him return to his deep sleep, I sighed in relief. Now I need to adjust the density of mana in the cave. Since I am a spirit, I can easily control the flow of mana and I am not lagged far behind the seven guardian god in mana control aspect. I am creating a suitable and comfortable environment so my lord can sleep well. In this case, I am adjusting the amount of mana so it will be good.

Looking at the divine sleeping face of my lord is one of my enjoyment. Usually if he was awake he will get mad at me from staring at his face but when he was sleeping I can do it as long as I want. When he was awake he won’t be so merciful and it makes me refrained from seeing his face but when he was sleeping, I will do everything I can to protect this divine sleeping face. I watched his face as long as it takes to finish three cups of tea while listening to his sleeper’s breathing. He is breathing normally, sometimes his wings flutters occasionally and looking at that was a bliss as I spend my time.

Speaking of which, I wasn’t this way. I may worshiped the guardian god but in a different way from this.

I still remember that time.
The first time that I met with my lord. At that time he saved my life. I was only a low rank spirit unlike now becoming a high rank spirit. It was a few million years ago. I was still one of the low rank spirit that basically a cannon fodder. I don’t think of anything, just drifting in the air with my negligible presence. Back in the time, there is no human race in the world of Gaia. Only wild monsters without civilization and the era where the strong devour the weak. However this era ended suddenly because of the depletion of Mana.

Afterwards the era of human rise. There’s nothing wrong again but there is another sign of abnormality within the mana stream. In fear of the same thing occurred again, there need to be an investigation being done.

The mana stream was under the seven guardian god jurisdiction and one of them is my lord, the sloth. They found out that the cause of mana depletion is demon mutation. Demons, are the race that usually prey on soul but there is a variant of soul eater that called Manaita. These demon mutation, Manaita has weird diet that consist of only mana. They are very glutton and each one of them can depletes a mana source for a forest. Manaita keep on searching and eat on Mana stream until it was exhausted and left the land without mana. Without mana, the land become wasted and barren. Not only the one from mana stream, it can even devour mana in the air. Because of that many spirit like me, which has a mana crystal on our body fell and become their prey.

One by one, the number of spirits reduced and many rare spirit species has been killed by Manaita. Of course we didn’t stayed silence. Some higher rank spirit with strength and unity tried to repel the Manaita. However the low rank spirit like me can’t even fight back and can only accept our fate as food helplessly.

At that time I am only a low rank spirit that survived only with luck, other than that my fate has been doomed. Just when I think the calm will come, a storm is coming. In the place where I lived, a flock of Manaita comes. The mana in the atmosphere is eaten up in a blink of an eye yet the Manaita is still hungry and come after us, spirits.

The worst thing is, our habitat doesn’t have and high rank spirit to protect us. All middle rank spirits has long time ago decide to hide or fled to another rank. Of course our future is grim, for us, low rank spirit. Everyday many low rank spirit is eaten. I don’t know if it was fortunate or unfortunate that we low rank spirits have almost no emotion. We don’t feel fear, we can only stare at our fellow being eaten in apathy.

And at last. It was my turn.

I am the last low rank spirit that hasn’t been eaten. At this last moment, my emotion suddenly surges up. My calm sea of emotion has been shaken violently.

I don’t want to be eaten. I don’t want to die.

The emotion suddenly emerges from deep inside my heart. Fear of death that couldn’t be felt suddenly, I can feel it. The torrent of emotion that is unworthy for low rank spirits. At that moment, it was the birth of me. When a low rank spirit gained their emotion, the moment they realized their existence, the true ‘them’ is awaken. At this moment, the true ‘me’ was born.

However only my emotion was born, I am still a helpless low rank spirit for now. Rather than being happy, I feel that it was unpleasant. Having to know not about fear was better. The Manaita has caught sight of me. I was feeling so scared that I can’t do anything. I can only tremble in fear waiting for my end to come.

“Oh, it preys on mana, so this is the problem.”

Just when I prepared to die, my lord is there, standing in front of the trembling me. One of the seven guardian god, the god of sloth is there. His appearance at that time isn’t really different from now.

The moment I saw him with three pairs of wings on his back, my fear has vanished without a trace and it is changed with something warm instead.

As for me, I remember. Someone tell me that it was something called ‘love at first sight’.

At that moment, my heart has been stolen by my lord.

“So, you guys has been eating mana around the world. You know causing the mana to depelets, replenishing it all wasn’t easy. I’m working all day and night and it will still takes around half a year to finish it. You guys are creating trouble for me. I am just one of the seven guardian god in title only, I don’t want to work.”

My lord comes down from the sky while complaining and the Manaita was all puzzled since after all they are only a beast that is driven by their appetite. The Manaita even changed their traget from me to my lord. After all the guardian god body was made up of high density of mana. For the Manaita it was like a feast compared to a low rank spirit like me.

The Manaita jump over gleefully at my lord.

“Come! Jumps at one of the guardian god just because you’re hungry, are you the guardian god of gluttony?”

my lord doesn’t even show any sign of fear looking at the flocks of Manaita that is approaching him.

“For now, go to sleep while watching the star!”

at his words, almost half of the Manaita is crushed, blown up to the sky, or even disappeared without trace. When the rest of Manaita look at it, they are afraid but my lord said something shocking.

“Don’t be afraid, come and get your food.”

after that it was utter annihilation. My lord overwhelming power literally crushed all the Manaita. It was a simple results even when I was only a low rank spirit I know that going against the guardian god was a foolish thing to do.

“… I guess that’s it? It’s finally over. Ah, I want 20 years of nap for this.”

even after defeating the Manaita, my lord is still complaining. However since the job is now done, he seemed to be leaving.

At that moment I move as fast as I can. I was impatience. I have a feelings, a premonition that if I let him go today, I won’t have another chance to meet with him again. I just born on this world but it seemed all my time has been stopped just for my lord.

“Ooo? Who are you? A low rank spirit? Wow, it seems like you are able to do premonition? Oh, let me introduce myself first. I am one of the seven guardian god, the sloth.”

the moment I heard that name, it was as if my whole body is covered in warmth. At that moment I realized that I want to dedicate all of myself for him.

“Speaking of which, you are only a low rank spirit but you actually able to withstand my presence. Isn’t it painful?”

certainly at that time I was only a low rank spirit and I should be blown away in the presence of guardian god since their body is made by high density of mana. However I won’t let that stop me. With full of determination I come even closer to him.

My lord. I have been looking forward to this. This is the kind of feeling when you want to be the bride of the childhood friends. It was something that I looked forward to and I literally go mad in joy when I know that it can come true. If today we part, I am sure that my lord will forget about me.

“Little spirit, what’s your name?”

my lord is asking for my name. However, I never got a name. How should I get my lord to remember me? This could be the start of my connection with my lord. In that confused state I actually done something unimaginable.

“I don’t have any name… if you could grant me my wish, please give me a name.”

at that time my lord is looking at the sky. It was a new moon and the sky was filled with pitch-black darkness.

“Runamiria… your name is Runamiria.”

“Runamiria?”
that will be my name?

“Yeah, it was the name of the goddess of dusk.”

it was given to me in less than a minute however I liked the name. The name itself makes me want to be worthy of the meaning. I have a determination to be strong.

“Alright, I can’t stay around for long. However I look forward to the day we can meet again.”
as he said that, my lord flew away to the sky. His jet black body quickly disappeared in the night sky and until the morning when the sun rise, I keep on staring at the horizon where he disappeared into.

From that day, our meeting was like a fate. I trained myself and finally become a high rank spirit. I even absorb the mana from the amosphere as if it was food and sometimes I faced monster to increase my power. Only at the highest peak of my spirit power I can be a high rank spirit. After that I come looking for my lord.

When I come looking for him, thousands of years already goes by. I wanted to immediately talk to him about various things however I can’t let my selfishness disturb my lord sleep. So until he wakes up I decided to wait and stand still on that stop.

After that, another thousands years passed and all of my memory was filled with his diine sleeping face. At first I thought he will wake up after a few days however it was also weird that I didn’t feel bored only looking at his face. There is an indescribable elation inside of me. It was like a bliss. I just stare at my lord innocent sleeping face and thanked him for saving me and saved me that I am able to be alive and enjoyed the scene.

I just keep staring at my lord innocent sleeping face and 10 years passed by in a breeze. When he wake up, he was surprised seeing me there. However after a while he seemed to remember me and at that time I told him that I want to swear my loyalty for him.

“Oh, what promise? Ah, I remember… you’re the spirit that I give a name.”

he really remember about me.

“so, what do you want? Pledge your loyalty? Are you sure? I mean, I am the sloth. Is that alright?”

he might want to push me away by saying that but I already know what he can do. The way he saved me that time still fresh in my memory.

“Noo… that wasn’t my fault… I don’t want to do that.. that mother ship..”
my lord nightmares talk brings me back to reality. It seemed that I have fallen deep reminiscing about my past memory.

I adjust the area to be suitable for my lord deep sleep and of course before he wakes up I look at his peaceful sleeping face and calm him down when his nightmares comes.

Author note: Thank you for reading the series this far. It was incredible that I managed to finish this chapter which is a mess. I am really sorry that I have kept you waiting. I realized that in this story I got no skill configuration and other thing done but still thanks for all that bookmarked this series. The series is lacking concept and there are shortage all around but I am happy that I finished this. I wonder if I can write a sequel (eyes looking to a distant horizon). Also thanks for any grammatical error that you pointed out. Thank you.
