I have to go to Wangdu soon.
Say it again.
- I have to go.
This is compulsory.
Besides, the trouble is, many residents of the town know about it.
"... Ha, it's melancholy"
- Dragon crest (Ryumon) appeared on the son of Plump Fenard, a bakery on 27th Avenue.
Many know this fact.
It also became a rumor all over town.
The way home I went out to buy out the ingredients.
The sudden pain made me wander around the street. [M]
I thought it would crack my head.
I tasted the thought of my whole body being torn apart.
It just hurt all over me.
When dragon prints appear in a person's body, they see unprecedented sensations.
Some develop high fever, while others find themselves breathless.
He said that he may feel tired (tingling), nausea, trembling in the cold, or feel burning pain.
In my case, it was pain, pain, pain that caused my whole body.
Luckily, some dragon prints appear while sleeping, so the world is unfair.
"I don't know..."
Me wandering around the streets in an odd voice.
A man from the road ran up to me and said he was there for me.
I don't remember very well.
That's when they all looked down at me breathlessly.
The dragon print that appeared on the back of his left hand caught the eye of everyone who was on the spot.
"What kid?
"It's the bakery's?
"Bakery? Boulevard."
"No, it's on 27th Avenue"
"Oh, there it is."
"I know, too."
"All right, I'll let my parents know."
"You can't keep this kid like this more than that."
"Hey, the carriage's coming"
"Dangerous. To the side of the road...... no, stop. Get me in the carriage. It's an emergency!
Apparently, a conversation was made.
I had passed out, so I don't remember at all.
You must have been surprised too.
A lot of people stopped the carriage.
Still, they were kind enough to take me to the store.
Honestly, I think it helped.
If they'd thrown me out on that spot, I'd stay a spectacle forever.
Still, I can't stand a door in people's mouths.
The dragon crest that appeared on the back of my left hand spread all over town in just one day.
In the Dragon Nation, the dragon manipulator is called the one who serves the dragon and manipulates it as he wishes.
It seems that dragons exist like spirits.
It is the dragon crest that receives flesh when it comes out of this world, but it is the landmark that crosses the world.
The dragon is led by the dragon crest to manifest itself in this world.
"I wish I didn't even have this..."
It doesn't even start to creep, but I think it would be nice if it wasn't for this dragon print on the back of my left hand.
In the Dragon Nation, dragon jockeys are a floral profession. I can't even try to be.
Without being chosen as a dragon, it would be impossible to have any status, honor, or fortune.
Conversely, if this dragon crest shows up, I'm required to be a dragon jockey.
I have no right of veto.
Say it again.
- I have no right of veto.
A dragon comes of its own accord.
The dragon print seems to tell the position, and I can't get away with it.
".............................. ha"
Anyone in this country knows that.
And there's a dragon print on my left hand.
Sigh, let's get out as much as we can.

"When are you going to dragon college?
My father asked. Actually, I don't either. I mean, they haven't told me.
"They're picking up the carriage, so they're taking it."
"Will that carriage reach your lord?
"I guess so."
I don't think the carriage coming from Wang Du knows our home.
Since the dragon's crest appeared, I have traveled to the lord's hall several times.
That's where I learn how to be a dragon jockey.
The lord's name is Claire Sargent, and he is noble.
I always call myself Lady Claire.
I have a mixture of white things in my hair and I am old, but I think I am a good lord.
There is also a dragon jockey stationed in this town of Saul, so I have him come all the way to the Lordship Hall.
It seems I'm the only one in Saul's town who showed up with dragon prints, so it's been a man-to-man class.
"What's wrong with the luggage you're taking? Are you ready for this?
"I live in a dorm, and they almost pay me, so I guess I'll just have to get dressed"
"What's the tool in the back?
"I have a baggage check, so I was wondering if I could get it all together over there or have it brought to me later"
"Right. Then I'll tell Kristan. Speaking of which, are you stopping by Eina's?
"Yeah. I'm gonna spend the night in my sister's town, and I think I'm gonna show my face"
Sister Eina married Brother Kristanyi and left this town.
"Then take my mother's letter with you. If you don't see Eina for a while, explain it properly."
"Really? When I got the dragon, I thought I'd come home for a while."
Anyway, dragons are fast.
It'll take a few days to get around by carriage, just enough for a day trip.
And even though I graduated from Dragon College, I didn't plan on becoming a member of the military, so I thought I'd be free to see you.
"I have heard that after graduation, I will be gaining experience near the path (Michi) of the Yin Moon (Aizatsu) regardless of my affiliation"
"Are you serious?"
I wasn't interested at all, so I didn't know.
Or whoever explained the dragon jockey's mind didn't talk to me after graduation either.
Does learning in college mean you don't have to bother teaching?
"I guess I won't be able to come back for a few years. If you screw around, it's your whole life."
That's a long time. For the rest of my life... oh, if I die.
"... ok. I'll say goodbye to your sister."
Of course I'm not going to die.
"Remember that. Even if you become a dragon jockey, when you die, you die."
"Right. I'll be careful not to."
"Be careful, at best."
That ended the conversation with my father.
I'm ready, but I really don't think I need to, but I'm right that I'm one because they pay me all the way from uniforms to supplies, and I can barely bring my personal belongings to the college.
According to the person who explained his mastery, the first task to do in the dorm is to write his name on all the belongings paid for.
College, but that kind of place looks like an army.

A few days later, my parents dropped me off and left this town behind.
We'll take a carriage for five days from now to the Wang Capital.
A dedicated carriage came to me in front of the house.
If you thought the lord was going to use it, he asked where it was, and you're going to lay it in front of the house.
Everyone is watching.
The Minister handled it.
Of course, the state will have all the costs on the road.
Accommodation and food. That's fancy.
But that may be normal, too.
I'm going to be a dragon jockey.
………………… oh, I don't want to go.
