The Magus of Genesis

"Five hundred years ago now. My ancestors… I have been told that the covenant of the founding king, Ols I, with the dragon of Mount White is the beginning of all this."

Aisha began to talk like that with disappointment.

"Instead of harming and defending this country, I offer the princess five hundred years later. That's the deal the Ols made with the dragon."

Five hundred years later. You're a very concerned dragon, I think.

Giltar said no dragon other than a fire dragon can usually live for five hundred years. That means five hundred years is a long time for dragons.

"And this year, it's going to be five hundred years. I have been a princess since I was born."

Aisha's voice had no unexpected sense of sadness. She spells the words pale and telling only the facts.

"Dragons are natural enemies of men. It would be too bad to hear if we were to enter into a covenant with such a being and offer sacrifices. But it is also unnatural that only by chance our country has escaped the scourge. So - the royal family, in disgrace, named the dragon killer. If a dragon strikes, kill it, fear its glory, and there will be no dragon damage."

So for the first time, there were emotions in that voice color.

"So I have tried so hard to turn this into the truth. No matter how much you work out, you can't just take down a dragon by yourself."

I know people who can defeat me normally, but I also read the air on the boulder and hold my mouth.

"There you are… you showed up. When I first saw it, slight discomfort. It was just a hunch that you were different from a regular person… probably a strong person. So I gave you my passport to avoid the futility."

Apparently that wasn't pure kindness. Is that true? There's no reason to be nice to me the first time you meet me, and if you were doing that to anyone, that's the problem.

"But when I saw the battle, I immediately guessed. How to fight too isolated from people. The amateur herself, full of gaps in movement and residence. Nonetheless, no one can beat you"

I was secretly hurt by Aisha's words. And the amateur herself... I saw Yuka move and all, and quite like this, I was going to devise a move and all...

"That's what I was prepared for when the dragon came to kill me for flipping an anti-flag..."

"Sorry for the dragon difference"

All sorts of things, I felt like going in if I had a hole.

"Are you…… really, a dragon?

"Yeah, yeah, well... this room is a little too small for me to go back and prove it, but it's a dragon."

Should I be respectful because the other person is royal even if the dragon is found out? Is she really an eye rebirth? Too much I don't know, and while I'm worried about the end of the story, I snort.

"So what the hell are you doing?

"I'm here to find people. Old acquaintances."

"I know......? No, that's okay at this time."

Inquiring, Aisha gazed into my eyes as she covered her neck.

"You're not harmful to people, are you?

"Yeah. Because I like people. Oh, of course, it doesn't mean food preferences."

To my joke, Aisha didn't even have a nickel. Though I never even let my face catch on instead.

"So... can you lend me some help?

Just sincere eyes piercing me.

"I will do anything I can. So please…………………"

"Yeah, that's fine."

I guess I was surprised as I said it myself. Aisha opened her eyes wide open when she said she couldn't believe it.

"... is it true!?

"Yeah. Of course, don't worry, I'm not gonna tell you to feed me instead"

If she is the rebirth of Eye, I have trouble getting her to die. If you say you'll do anything, you can fully try the way Nina said you would. If you look at it from here, it's a boat across the street.

"Well, we can't take him down, so we'll have to negotiate."

If that means five hundred years from now, maybe it's not mandatory to live. There must be room for negotiation. It is a dragon that originally made a pact with humans. I don't think the conversation will go through at all.

"…… Are you even the one you can't defeat, Masilo's dragon?"

Take a breath, Aisha asks.

"No, it's a white dragon, isn't it? It's the weakest. So if you knock it down, there will definitely be a stronger dragon. So it's better not to take them down."

Explaining so to reassure her, she was stunned.

The White Dragon is the only dragon in the lowlands to soak on a high mountain.

Besides, it's always a mountain with deep snow, so it's hard for people to climb without careful gear.

Especially fatal for Cruce, who can't warm his own body. I don't want her to leave a message this time.

And me and Nina, that was no exception.

The magic of the plants Nina uses is vulnerable to low temperatures, and it's not like she can get warm.

I may be able to warm myself up, but it would be catastrophic if I did too much and even had an avalanche. Neither of us have any experience in snow mountain climbing, nor are we equipped.

So I decided to use a quicker method.

Fly to the top of the mountain like a dragon. The White Dragon may escape by surprise, but this is probably faster to fly. Besides, you've noticed a long time ago that I exist, and I still don't see how it works.

Well, deep snow is clearly an unfavourable condition for a fire dragon. Maybe that's where you're going to intercept him anyway.

"... really, are you following me...?

"Yes, I am obliged to see the royal family even if it is to be named"

I don't mind you waiting. That's what Aisha insisted on telling me. Well, I don't know what kind of negotiations will take place between me and White Dragon. There's no way I can trust a dragon that was just yesterday that easily, and I can't help it.

"Nina, I'm sorry, but it's nice to meet you."

"Mm-hmm. Okay."

I'm afraid of boulders, though, to take just humans to a dragon without faculty. Without the confidence to protect herself in the form of a small, ineffective dragon, I decided to ask Nina for an escort.

"So I'm going to fly like a dragon, even if it proves that I'm really a dragon."

At the foot of the mountain, where the white dragon lives. So we met and decided to go for the summit. Aisha came as promised neither with her nor with her escort, and prepared Nina's share of cold clothes.

"Does Your Highness not have to wear cold clothes?

She herself is in silver armor, the same way she was when it first happened.

"Yes. This armor is made by processing a scale that was given to it by the White Dragon during the covenant. White dragon scales are colder than ice, so you can't wear them very well unless you apply good cold protection under your armor. Instead, armor doesn't let any outside cold air through it."

I see. That's the same reason my scales don't heat through.

"Well, I'll go. Don't be surprised."

I take the coat out of my nostalgia and let it turn into a scale, and I weave it back into a dragon figure.

"Well............!

Seeing that, Aisha cheered.

"Really, you were a dragon. That too...... so big, red, dragon"

Softly touching my scales, Aisha shrugs as she felt it.

"…… That's all?

"Excuse me. My tongue doesn't seem to be strong enough to describe this emotion"

Aisha apologized sorry, but the response is off Nina's intentions.

She probably expected to see this figure and remember me.

Just like me.

"Then both of you, get on your backs. … How much!

I made sure the two of them grabbed onto a tight back toge and I feathered my wings. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've flown like this with someone on my back. It's been a long time since the people of Hiiro Village have been doing this so much as flying in the sky these days, and Yuka, who can't fly, runs faster than flying when he's bad.

I can't remember when it was the last time I flew someone on my back, but I remember clearly at first. A thousand years ago... when I just met D'Arga. I had Eye on my back then, and Nina was flying next to it.

"Se, sensei"

I just ran up to the sky and heard a slight voice from my back.

"Why don't you slow down a little…"

"Yeah. Sorry."

In a mixed voice with fright, he hurries to loosen his wings. I wasn't really aware of speed. I thought the white dragon shouldn't have run away, so I might have been in a little too much of a hurry. Being a dragon and approaching it doesn't change the position of the signs, so there doesn't seem to be any need to hurry.

Even though it flew consciously and slowly, it was right up to the top of the mountain.

The weather is well visioned, but I don't see a white dragon there covered in bright white snow.

I can feel the signs, so I'm sure I'll be right next to you...

"Lord White Dragon, are you there?

As I first looked around the ground descending, Aisha's voice rang from my back.

"I, Aisha, princess of the kingdom of Masilo. I'm here to renew my covenant!

The wind blows as if to respond to that voice, and the snow dances.

Powdered snow rose like a small tornado, and the white dragon appeared.

That moment.

Time froze.

The body of the white dragon is the smallest of the five types of dragon.

The white dragon was only about a third of me.

The short neck is covered with fluffy hairs, and the two long, straight extended horns look like large rays, too.

Unlike Fire Dragon, whose face has a long mouth like a reptile, she has a rounded face reminiscent of a mammal and is somewhat adorable. The wide spread pair of wings had a velode-like texture, shining like a dress in the light.

Seeing them, I unwittingly take a step forward.

".................. Eye"

The snow on the ground melted away in the exhalation that he exhaled with his name.
