"Ohhhh ~? Could it be that, grandfathers, you've been hiding what you were transforming into people ~? Really? Really? To all of you, I'd like to ask. How many people in this world can be called" authentic people "? Perhaps instead of a handful, none of them ~? If you think about it, I don't think you need to hide it..."

And it goes without saying that Cortex said so before the 15 townspeople whose treatment was over. Because a human being in this world, without exception, had beast ears or tails... Cortex seemed to think that if we were communicating under the same sensibilities, it would be trivial, such as differences in appearance. It should be noted that she herself may not even be an organism, rather than a human being.

In response to that Cortex statement, the old man, who had earlier returned to the dragon of the earth dragon system, responds slowly, in the figure of someone who was finally able to return.

"With people...... no, those who live in town are terribly reluctant to have very different beings nearby from what they look like. If you are weaker than yourself, you may be tolerated as a game animal, but there is no tolerance for big, dangerous beings. How hard did you get when you were young too... If it wasn't for Grandma, I wouldn't have turned into a person to live..."

and an old man who talks that way remembering the experiences of misery that would have befallen him once.

Cortex, by contrast, has no objection to the word--

"Really? Really?"

—— and hit the correlation...... I threw this question at the old man.

"Okay, Grandpa. One thing I want to ask you. What is your concern now, Grandpa, that they may have found out who you are ~?

"Of course... I'm not talking about your grandmother who left it at home. Non himself is accustomed to people hating him, but Grandma doesn't. If he goes back to town like this, he might be able to throw a stone at him... but he won't let his grandmother have such a hard time. If that happens... Noon won't know how to do it..."

"I see. Grandpa, it's your wife's thought ~"

and cortex shaking his neck vertically over and over again as he put his arms together and sprinkled with emotion. At that time, other people were nodding in the same way because everyone was thinking about similarities and stops by?

After that, Cortex goes on to say... But it didn't seem like it was meant for the old man.

"I'm talking about... What do you think about their protection ~? Dear Messier ~? Don't stand there, why don't you come over here ~?

Cortex said so, turning toward the entrance to the royal castle.

Then there was the appearance of Messier at some point... He seemed to have listened quietly to the exchanges between the Cortex, in the shadow of the entrance to the royal castle. Apparently, he was coming down from the office on the third floor to the first floor.

Such a messier shakes his neck only vertically once more...... In response to Cortex's inquiry, he answered:

"Of course, it is possible for me to protect you. Originally in this country, the law forbids people to be harmed by nagging, so if anything is done to offend them, the person is subject to punishment. However...... aren't you all hoping to be protected?

In response to that inquiry, the people there did not respond. Silent affirmations, maybe something like that. Apparently, everyone had a good understanding of the nature of what it meant to be protected.

After seeing that--

"So, as an Alborosa government, you only reach out to those who want ~,?

—— and Cortex to inquire additionally.

By contrast, the Messier ——

"... there is no difference in that perception. If you want to live quietly, it should be better not to have a soldier's escort. If you change your mind about” protection "... it's supposed to be a similar situation to being” watched ”by a soldier at 46 o'clock."

—— That's what I said, affirmed her question.

After hearing it, Cortex, without criticism or consent, appeared to have given it a complex look and thought. From the point of view of the government, she also knew that it would be more convenient if the dragons were placed under surveillance in the name of protection, because it would not develop into an extra problem.

But still, she kept thinking. It was not a cheap answer, but an attempt to find a different one.

As a result, she seemed to have something in sight.

"It's a difficult issue around there ~. Yes, it's an extremely difficult issue. Given how we can maintain peace in our country and our people, I think it's natural to come to that conclusion.... How about this suggestion for such a Messier?... On the contrary, banning dragon-like transformations is ~"

"" "Eh..." "

Those on the spot who turn their ears to the words of Cortex and behave suspiciously.

In contrast, Cortex doesn't seem to care about it... Her arguments then continue.
