At the end of a metastasis that fell into a rift in dimension.

There were dragons and eyes staring at Guillaume and this one.

This guy sucks.

You don't have to fight to understand. Too strong.

Size difference in the first place is not half. One of these forefoot claws is much bigger than mine.

It's about the size of a little mountain that lives there.

―――――――――――――

The dragon growls as he flickers the flame out of his mouth.

That just makes the ground sound.

Scary. Scary enough not to spill.

My body shudders with fear of the overwhelming strong.

Yeah, sure, Grandma's right. This will make you want to get away soon.

I was scared, and there was something in my ear that was about to take a step back.

"-Hi."

I heard that voice in my ear. There's the voice of a girl who's afraid of growling.

When I saw those who spoke, Sigal was unable to move with an obvious face of fear.

- What the fuck are you doing?

When I brought her here, I had a problem with my parents.

I'll take care of it. I think I got it.

If it were, it wouldn't be scary!

I push my fear of dragons to death with my wrath for myself, shifting sideways to become Cigal's wall.

This kid admires me from the front.

I still have no idea what was good about it, but even with more time together, this kid's eyes on me haven't changed.

It also connects to Inai. Then this kid is family to me.

And if you think so, protect it through.

Nothing. I don't need to beat this dragon. All the best, live, let this child escape.

Protect, no matter what.

Take that thought further up, turn it into courage and look to the dragon.

You can be scared, but look how scared you are. Make sure you can use your body at any time.

Because you're going to run away with two of the worst.

So I looked at Inai.

Then he put his arms together and was Jen-royal and looked at this one satisfactorily.

Too much room.

"Yeah, good, good, you"

Oh, my God, I heard such a happy whine, but I have no idea what it is.

When the dragon looked at us for a while, I felt somewhat pleased with the intimidation earlier.

"Hmm, well, whatever the girl is, you two seem qualified to stand here."

... talked?

Oh, hey, are you talking?

Oh, well, I thought you said Mr. Aroness could talk.

But I didn't think I could talk just because I was smart.

Sorcery tells us what it means, but that means that this dragon sounds like a proper word.

"Nice to meet you, Dragon Hall. My name is Inai Stel. Perhaps in the past, a man named Aroness Nehres didn't visit? I am his compatriot."

'Oh, I'll remember. You're that strong, strange sorcerer. Alchemy? That was a strange business.

He was great. You answered my thoughts twelve times. I see, his people would be convinced.

It was a boy and a girl who came, so I thought, what mistake did you make to come here?

I don't have a name, but they call me old. The oldest. It doesn't move much, it's like the examiner who came here. '

The dragon who answers Inai's greeting speaks pleasantly. It feels like where did the awesome intimidation just now go?

But you're the examiner. I mean, if you freak out about that intimidation, you fail. Are we talking about just disappearing?

"It's called the word, it's called the stone tablet earlier, and the dragon clan seems to be using their own magic."

'That's right. It's just a little different from human magic. But the roots are together. Helping the world is no different.

That tablet was made by a human who came here a few hundred years ago. Since they thought of the words of activation, they can also be used by humans.

And the Lord, who understands it properly, seems to be quite a magician. "

"Thank you. But it's inferior to Aroness. He is a genius among us."

'Ho ho, don't be modest. I understand. Your Lord is no less powerful than he is, is he?

"Hehe, I've never seen a dragon like you before. I understand Aroness praised you for letting go."

'Ho, right, well, did he think of us well, too? It's superimposed'

The tension just now is so mild that it becomes ridiculous, there is a relaxing public discourse.

Can I join the conversation, too?

"Uh, excuse me, okay?

'Oh, what's up, boy? Is there something you want to ask me?

"Why are you waiting for people to come here?

To that question, the dragon puts his neck up.

Did I say something weird?

"You lords, didn't you come here knowing?

"Excuse me, Dragon Hall. I haven't heard much more about this place and I just wanted to come and see you. I'm sorry if that was rude."

Oh, Inai, I knew it was a free interest.

'Ho, ho, was that so? What, you don't have to worry about it. If you speak of his compatriots, the Lord is also our compatriots.

You girls don't have to be scared anymore. I don't know what to do with your Lord. "

"Yes, I'm sorry"

'Ho, you don't have to apologize. Take it easy.'

Hom, unlike my first impression, this dragon has looked so sweet.

Steady, awesome Mr. Aroness. A dragon like this tells me he's a compatriot.

That guy is usually kidding and has no grasp, but it's still amazing.

"Well, I don't know where to start."

The dragon thought about it and spoke slowly.

That's a story that happened to this country a long time ago.

Not for centuries, but thousands of years ago.

A long time ago, dragons were very bored.

Born strong. An overwhelming strongman who hunts everything without training himself.

But a being who can live without wielding its power.

So I had nothing to do, I was just bored.

Some hunted beasts to distract boredom, attacking settlements inhabited by men, but they were still bored.

Overwhelmingly, it was all too easy.

One day, a certain human has challenged the dragon.

He recklessly challenged the dragon to see how strong he was, not a crusade.

The dragon lightly defeats man.

Humans fled with their lives.

But the next year, the man came to try the dragon again.

Even then, the dragons were still stronger, but the humans were also a little stronger than before, and even if they did not win, they could reward one arrow.

But he fled again with his life.

And the man did that over and over again for years, beating that dragon one year at a time.

The dragon was surprised, but glad.

That humans have challenged me over and over again, and every time I come, I get stronger, remember something new, and gave me a pleasant fight.

I was thankful to the man who gave me a very heartfelt battle. So even if they killed me here, I thought I was satisfied.

Humans said this to dragons like that.

"That was fun. You had fun too, didn't you? I'll be back next year. You're healing, aren't you? Now it's your turn to challenge me, huh?

The dragon, who thought he was going to be killed, was surprised by the words in his heart.

And I still appreciated the person, understanding that I could still have such a fun fight.

But the following year, no humans came.

The dragon, who was very excited, could not wait and went out looking for human signs.

So I find out that the human was poisoned by a certain country.

The dragon was furious, and flew to the land, and cried out over the king's capital.

"Victory over me, the man I recognized! My friend! How dare you kill me with your filthy hands!

He challenged me, and my recognized compatriots! I will never forgive you for putting your hands on our compatriots in such a boring way!

That's what the dragon said, burning down the castle.

The country was trying to attack the country where humans lived, and too strong humans were in the way.

That's why I got into the hand of poisoning.

If you fought and lost, you have no choice. But it's not. That man was not allowed to fight and was killed.

How thoughtless that was. I thought so. After the dragon roared as his heart was about to rip open, I said.

"That country is the land of my friends! Land of my brethren! The place the dragon protects and knows better!

That's what he shouted, and the dragon went back to his residence.

The word spread to the land of man, and in this country the dragon became enshrined as the dragon god, as the presence that protects the country.

And if any man could respond to that dragon's thoughts, he went to the dragon and went to battle to repay his favor for his blessing.

'That must have been the story over the years that if you beat us at some point, you'd get dragon protection.

We're having a little fun with that, too. That's what I've been doing for thousands of years. '

"It's too big, I'm surprised"

Thousands of years ago or something. Human beings can convey it accurately or suspiciously, or poorly, it's a level where the story itself stops.

"Ho, ho, because humans are a little over a hundred years old, even if they live long. We'll live more than a hundred times longer."

Ten thousand years.

I can't imagine the boulder being too different in scale.

But in recent years, though they were worshipped, and offerings were sent, there came nothing to fight for, and they were bored. Therefore, the visit of Aroness was very wonderful.

Aroness reminded me of him. The memories that had faded over time were very clear and revived, as they did yesterday. Thank Him or Clean '

Could that be, like, this guy right now?

"Is that story your story, is it?

'Yes, I just wanted to say, but no. I have always watched the battle. "

I see, that's why you're familiar with it.

"He always fought with pleasure. I'm watching it. It's so much fun.

Therefore, I know how painfully it feels to have that human being killed and left to anger to burn down the castle.

But when I started dating people, I found out. There are those who mourn their deaths as they mourn those who perish in the castle they burn down.

Unlike wild beasts, humans say that the death of those close to them becomes an indelible wound. I became worried about it.

I was wondering if some of the things that were in that castle were innocent.

I guess the loss of that human prevented him from thinking as a pure dragon.

Because of it, it was faster and weaker than any other dragon. And he entrusted his thoughts to us, and he died.

It may also be why we are still being worshipped by telling humans about it and instead passing on the thoughts of our own.

And we also became involved with people. I guess it's a little different than a pure dragon already '

The dragon spoke in an indescribable way that seemed a little lonely, but still enjoyable.

"Old man! Human again, honto!? Now it's my turn!!

There was something to do and fly in with such a cheerful voice.

Hmm? I don't know. I don't know.
