The 5000-year-old herbivorous dragon, unjustly recognized as an evil dragon, published on Let's Become a Novelist, has been turned into an anime! A herbivorous dragon that is harmless to humans and animals and has simply lived a long life has been recognized as an evil dragon for some reason and has rebelled against the Demon King. This is the setting of the work, and this time I would like to introduce the herbivorous dragon, who is the protagonist and victim!
The 5000-year-old herbivorous dragon is not particularly strong at all
The herbivorous dragon, the protagonist of this work, is a 5000-year-old dragon. Because he has lived for 5000 years, he can understand human language, is highly intelligent, and has a gentle personality. Having lived for 5000 years, Mr. Herbivorous Dragon has grown in size, but that doesn't mean he's stronger. He's a herbivore, so his favorite foods are grass and bamboo shoots. He has never fought a formidable opponent, can't fly, and has no magical powers. In fact, he's a harmless dragon that can easily be injured by a stone thrown at him. More than a dragon, Mr. Herbivorous Dragon is more like a giant lizard.
A 5000-year-old herbivorous dragon meets a highly prejudiced sacrificial girl
For 5000 years, the dragon had been living peacefully, but one day, a sacrifice came to the cave where he lived. Apparently, due to the 5000-year-old dragon and its enormous size, the neighboring villagers had been spreading rumors that he was a leader of the Demon King's army or a vicious evil dragon, and because of this, a girl who was to be sacrificed came. Moreover, the girl was very prejudiced and tended to be out of control, actively accepting herself as a sacrifice. For the dragon, this is just a nuisance, so he makes up some random excuse and tries to send her away...
A herbivorous dragon who ends up in big trouble with a makeshift lie
A girl who is very biased tries to sacrifice herself and end her life, so he has no choice but to lie and say that he has taken a little of her soul, and the girl believes that she has become a member of the evil dragon's family. However, the girl, Reiko, is also a problem child, and although she originally had incredible potential, her bias awakens that potential, turning her into a powerful person that no one can control. Moreover, perhaps because he is a member of the evil dragon's family, he is fanatical and tries to solve everything with violence and fear, so Mr. Dragon has to worry about how to settle the situation.
A herbivorous dragon who is 5,000 years old and has knowledge and an eye for people
Perhaps because he has lived for 5,000 years, Mr. Dragon is highly intelligent and has a lot of knowledge. He can see Reiko's potential with just one glance and overlooks her intense beliefs. He also has a lot of knowledge about monsters. This was possible because he had avoided fighting strong enemies and lived peacefully for the past 5,000 years. However, it seems that his kind is almost extinct.
A 5,000-year-old herbivorous dragon gets the short end of the stick and has to go on a journey...
As expected, the dragon, who tried to return the girl to the village, is feared by the people of the village as an evil dragon. Although they managed to avoid causing trouble, Reiko, who calls himself the Evil Dragon's servant, instantly killed the monsters that attacked the village by unleashing her overwhelming potential, and because Reiko continued to act like she was born evil and the settings about the Evil Dragon were added from time to time, Mr. Dragon was forced to leave the village with Reiko, and their peaceful days came to an end.
5000-year-old herbivorous dragon, recognized as the Evil Dragon Raventia
Reiko and Mr. Dragon, who were effectively banished from the village, went to the next town, but there was fire rising there due to a monster attack. As expected, Mr. Dragon was misunderstood as an evil dragon, and rumors were exaggerated, leading to him being called a monster on par with the Demon King, or the evil dragon Raventia, among other grandiose names. Of course, he never called himself by that name, but because of his dangerous companions, he was in a situation where he couldn't deny it, and was unjustly labeled as an evil dragon.
A pitiful herbivorous dragon that no one believes in anything he says
Mr. Dragon was manipulated by his dangerous self-proclaimed companions and was unjustly labeled as an evil dragon, but if possible, he would like to peacefully separate from them and return to his normal life. And when someone who can explain the situation occasionally appears, he explains it without any lies, but most of the time they don't believe him. It may be inevitable because the self-proclaimed kin are incredibly evil and strong, and there is a lot of circumstantial evidence. However, he is a good person and harmless to humans and animals, so some people will cooperate if the misunderstanding is cleared up.
The Herbivorous Dragon Who Was Carrying a Very Heavy Load Without Knowing It
He was unjustly recognized as an evil dragon and had a large bounty placed on his head, and he ended up being targeted for his life regardless of his affiliation because he declared war on the Demon King. Furthermore, if the large landmine Reiko were to realize that the herbivorous dragon was a shitty weakling, there was no telling how she would go berserk, so she had to play the role of a majestic evil dragon in front of her. It was impossible to hide somewhere and let it go, and before you knew it, you were in a dead end.
When it's time to do it, it's time to do it! The poor herbivorous dragon has no choice but to do it
With the overwhelming presence of Reiko, in most cases she can manage things on her own. However, when her self-proclaimed subordinate goes out of control, she has no choice but to do something about it, even though she is powerless. If that were to happen, the first thing he would do would be to run away, but if he had no choice, he would show his guts.
【5000-year-old herbivorous dragon, unjustly recognized as an evil dragon】Summary about herbivorous dragon
The 5000-year-old herbivorous dragon, which will be animated from January 2023, is a summary of the herbivorous dragon, the protagonist who gets caught up in the situation!
