"Iris, get down!

"Yes!

Before I lay low, Illis, I deploy a kind of defensive magic.

Not something that can completely kill the power, but the magic to be highly effective against dragons can be deactivated, so the defense of Britain would be fine.

Mine don't have time to deploy a lot of defensive magic, so just lightly and magically slow down the impact.

And without defying the explosion, it will be blown away.

On the way to blowing up, by magically changing direction a little, I avoid a clash against the obstacle.

Results -

"Mr. Matty!?

"So, are you okay!?

Even where Lurii and the others were, it was blown away.

At a distance, about a hundred meters or so?

"I'm fine. Humans can't just die from being blown up a hundred meters high."

That's what I say, I get up.

Apparently, he didn't have to get hurt.

"No, I think I'm able to die..."

"Even ten meters, you die normally...?

But they're not very convinced.

Well, there are a lot of tricks in dealing with the explosion.

"If you work out your body, you'll be able to stand it. The trick is not to inhale a blast through your mouth or nose. As long as you're aware of that, the rest is no different than a free fall from a hundred meters high... Speaking of which, don't you feel like you're going to survive somehow?

"I won't!

"That's your standard, isn't it, Mr. Iris or Mattie - what is it, this sound!?

Lurii, who was talking, suddenly cuts the word.

From the labyrinth, I heard a noise of something huge moving.

... Well, I can imagine what that sounds like in a magical reaction.

"Uh, you don't have to worry about that sound."

"But it obviously looks bad!? We have to get out of here!

Alma just tried to escape, and the roar stops.

And then, soon...

"Demon Stone, I brought it. Yikes!

From the passage of the labyrinth, Illis turned up.

Behind it, the body of the dragon you were fighting earlier is rolling.

Earlier the roar would be the sound of Illis dragging a dragon.

"Ooh. Are you hurt?

"Yes! Thanks to Mr. Matthias, it helped!... I knew it was human enough, small and inconvenient... buried in a labyrinth or falling in a little hole..."

"If you get used to it, it's a convenient body."

Talking about that, I magically examine Iris' body.

Apparently, it's intact. Defensive magic seems to have helped properly.

"By the way, Illis"

I just checked, and I cut it out.

I just made up my mind.

"Yes, what is it"

"Suddenly, I'm going to treat Iris officially as a party member."

Until now, Iris has only been treated as a dragon.

But treating Iris as a dragon now seems a little different.

He looks human, and he's treated as a human being socially.

Shouldn't I treat Illis as a human being, too, while Illis looks like this?

Yes, it's a thought statement.

"Me, to Mr. Matthias' party members...? Is that okay?

"Absolutely. Alma and Lurii too...... is that all right?

"I agree!

"Me too, I agree. Mr. Iris has been very helpful!

My opinion was unanimously passed.

"Now Illis is our party member.... Then there's something you should do."

"What should I do?

"Oh. I have trouble getting you hurt or dead more easily than being a party member. I'm going to do a decent workout so that Illis can get used to that body quickly."

"I can't believe Mr. Matthias is going to have a day to worry about me...... thank you! Please!

Iris answers my suggestion with joy.

If you're a dragon's body, you won't get hurt that way, but that doesn't necessarily mean things like this won't happen.

Even I can't always do it and protect it with magic.

"... you, Matty, a proper workout?

"Hey, I kind of have a bad feeling..."
