Discussions with Linda were shocking with a lot of things.

I don't think I was really interested in anything other than being a baker when I was a kid.

"Wouldn't that still make much difference?"

I reflected a bit.

Well, it's a dragon pick-up ritual, but this takes place on January 7th.

It's our sunny stage.

I asked Ark why he could only choose from the Royal School.

"The reason is simple. You're just holding other countries back."

Prior contact is forbidden to protect dragon manipulators with dragon prints.

The only place outside of what I've known for a long time is a "face-to-face meeting" where you can be approached publicly by dragon jockeys.

"But to avoid the dark ages of dragon maniacs, you're opening up outside your own country, aren't you?

I heard that there is now a system because of the reflections of the Dark Ages.

"That's what you have to say in front of the building. By limiting yourself to Royal Schools, the interference of other countries is bouncing off, isn't it? I think it's an enclosure for hiding the school."

In order to prevent dragon spills, there seems to be no problem later in letting them choose among the students of the Royal School, even if it is somewhat forceful.

"Is that why we have to choose from it? But even if they say so... I don't know."

I end up there. How do the classmates decide?

As Linda told me, I tentatively booked the King's Capital Inn.

Including that, I left a letter to my parents and sister.

That reply came back today.

Looks like Dad and Mom are closing the store and coming to see it.

Even if you say you're coming to see it, just a round-trip carriage for ten days. Quite a long journey.

He'll be staying in the Wang capital for a few days, and that'll waste half a month. I think it takes a lot of determination.

Yet you come. I was happy with that feeling.

What a rush for my sister, too.

However, the grocery store cannot be closed, so one less worker in between.

They say only your sister will come to arrive the same day. And they're going home overnight.

Shouldn't you be complaining about your brother-in-law when he comes? That's tough, brother-in-law.

And a sentence written in a letter.

- Are you ready?

This is my father's letter.

Ready... that's not enough for me.

I've been thinking about this for a long time. And I finally realized.

Ready to be a dragon jockey, ready to pick patrons, and ready to break dreams.

What was missing from me was a readiness to look directly at reality and to move forward.

"First of all... you're a patron"

Someone must be chosen by the end of the year.

When the last face-to-face meeting is over, I'll submit the application to the state, so you can tell me there's very little time left.

This is up to me to think and be ready to take all the responsibility.

You have to seriously think about it. Because you can't run anymore.

Busy days ensued.

I met with three people on holiday: Linda and Anne, and Rosana, and we had a long story.

It's about the patrons.

At that time, something a little surprising happened.

A little? No, as far as I'm concerned, it was a surprise.

And the fifteenth of December.

The last face-to-face meeting began.

I invited ten people. [M] The seven are the ladies that Ark asked for.

They thanked me through the arc early in the day.

"If there's anything I can do to help you," the lady advertised.

Exactly what Ark would have chosen.

They're all soft-skinned with more beauty than standard. In a way, it can be said that it is complete.

After finishing such a light chat with the ladies, I took a breather, and someone I knew came along.

It's Mr. Rosana.

I somehow feel my surrounding gaze is pouring on Mr. Rosana because I made a big ugly scene at this meeting last year.

I wouldn't have any good memories, and I was anxious for you to come.

"Thank you, Leon. I never thought I'd be able to stay in school until my last face-to-face meeting."

Mr. Rosana is crying in his eyes. If it were true, it would have been when I had already left Dragon Country with my wife.

"You ended up tightened with good memories."

"Yeah, really..."

Mr. Rosana is graduating this year. After graduation, they go the way of scholars.

I laughed pleasantly when I asked about the neighborhood.

When I had a good vibe with Mr. Rosana, Linda came next to me and smiled.

Couldn't you wait?

"Oh, this is already such a time. You've just monopolized me. Leon, thank you so much. I'm gonna have fun today."

In a good mood, Mr. Rosana has gone.

"If she's been invited by dragon jockeys for two years in a row, she'll have foil on her, too."

Linda turned her hand around my arm. [M]

"Really?

"I think you'll get more than a certain rating. Well, if the Kingsguard says you have enough arm to stay in the final selection every year, you can imagine how strong it is."

"I see, somehow I get it"

This last face-to-face meeting seems to dust off the greatest luxury of the five.

It seems that many sons and daughters consider it an honor just to be invited, and the meeting always has a nasty vibe.

I think you did a great job here last year. That's why the scandal spread so much.

"Leon, thank you for inviting me. I'll take care of you today."

Talking to Linda, Mr. Anne came through the surroundings.

"No, I'm the one who takes care of you every day."

Ann smiles nicely, but her expression is slightly stiff.

"What's up? Something troubling you?

Ms. Ann put her hands on her cheeks with both hands and just looked down a little bit.

"Leon has figured it out. … I must return to my parents' house in a few days"

"It's your brother's marriage, right?"

It takes place in the middle of the year.

"Yes, I will celebrate the New Year with my family, and I will continue to assist in my affairs in place of my brother. It's my brother's wedding, but the day is set for January 15th."

"That's close."

"Sounds like we tweaked it as soon as possible and on a date that invitees from all over the place would have made it in time"

In the case of the Dragon Nation, you can head anywhere in two days.

But other countries don't either.

In the same country, distant places take as long as five or six days one way. Even more so if you're out of the country.

The fifteenth would be the earliest date to travel after celebrating the New Year.

It seems that New Year's celebrations will be held in every town in the country of moves.

Seems like your brother attended it every year, but Anne is busy getting ready for marriage this year, so she goes.

Including preparation, he said it was time to return home. Too bad.

"I also invited Leon to the wedding, so please come"

"Yes, I will be happy to attend"

The invitations are in the process of being delivered everywhere.
