"There's just someone I know. I was invited to the country of moves."
"Why are you in the country of moves again? Are you a dragon jockey?
"No... this is it"
He showed Ark the licence he had obtained in the city where his family lived.
"Is this... a third-degree license? Real?"
"Oh. I took it. Isn't that amazing?"
Just a little bragging, Ark opened his eyes more.
"It's not amazing! I always thought you'd come home smelling like bread, but did you have so many arms!
Praised directly from the front.
It's a little dazzling.
"I wonder if some of them got lucky"
The advice I received last minute was also good.
The test method was in my favor.
"No, it's a Kunikuni license, and if you call it a third level, it's not something you can take with your luck. If you're going to take it at about your age, I guess that's what you have to do when you feel comfortable, and you have your efforts, your qualities, and your surroundings. Being recognized in a country of skill is just amazing."
No, I thought it was rap, but Ark knows more than I do.
I guess you also know more about the country of moves.
"If you say so, it's worth the effort."
"No, I was really surprised. Well, that's why you had to make it to the letter. I guess I was specializing until just before. But I'm glad you took it."
I haven't given you any special training, but, well, let's keep that heap shut.
"Don't be proud of this, I'm going for a fine baker."
"No, make me a fine dragon jockey to aspire to.... Yep. So we had to talk."
"What?
"I think I've spoken to you before. I'm talking about the old king's capital, which is off-limits."
"Oh, it's north of Hewler."
"Yes, I was on my way home to investigate."
"Reckless things again. It's close to the path of the moon. What are you going to do when the Moon Warcraft comes out?
"For once, I borrowed Junma (Shinme), and I've been used to seeing it in the last six months. Of course I didn't fail to be vigilant. I can assure you that."
"Okay. So, go investigate, how'd it go?
"I still couldn't get in there. Surrounded by high walls, there's no entrance. And as I watched, the dragon went in for a few rides."
"Surrounding the building is moon warcraft control, and the old king's capital is huge. If you can't protect the entrance and exit, why not block it?
"I thought so at first, too. But when the Fei Long leaves many times a day, he returns. I also saw them loaded with food, so I think there are quite a few people living there."
"It's ruined, isn't it? Isn't that just what dragon jockeys use?
"No, I don't think that one is. Obviously, there's a lot of food to carry in. There's definitely something going on."
"Then don't look there, you just have to wait another six months. Then you get a dragon. If there's anything you can do, you can go there, right? If we're off limits then, that's weird. Something could really be hidden."
"Right. Sometimes when we actually became dragon jockeys, it could be just a stronghold. I don't expect too much, but I'd love to go to the old king's capital once."
"If I'm going first, I'll tell you what's going on inside."
"Oh, please."
Talk that far. Ark's interest seems to have shifted somewhere else.
So it wasn't a conversation I went into any further, but I'm secretly convinced.
Ark is the old king's capital, but are there people who do not belong to the dragon jockey known as the Two Thousand Horsemen, dragon jockeys belonging to the Legion of Faithfulness (Royal Legion)?
Where to hide hundreds of rides of dragons. There is no such vast place.
Plus, there's the dragon feeding problem.
The old king's capital is impeccable in size and sturdiness.
I think they have something like a ranch.
In that case, Ark would be impeccable, but the truth would not be told.
The next day, the college class began.
All present. We're all good. He came back by the due date.
Classes are still dominated by sitting or building strength.
The second reunion seems to increase the chances of going out for exercises because they tend to stay.
You think it's the total finish of the formation I did scattered in the last quarter?
I guess you can't stop to grow up to be a one-man dragon jockey in just one year after you get a dragon.
I have to work hard too.
"I'm going on a date."
Back in the dorm from the academy, I dressed for the outfit.
I'm going on a date with Ann now.
I was willing to definitely go this time, so I wouldn't be waiting.
Today's plan is at Ann's disposal.
I have not been informed in advance of where they will take me.
Probably, but just like Linda did, I'm wondering if it's a private room in the restaurant.
I hope it's not the same restaurant.
Let's go.
Moving downstairs, my brother-in-law waved at me and dropped me off.
My lips are moving big. I can't use lip reading, but I can't go wrong.
"but... if"
That's how my brother-in-law's mouth was moving.
You got a date?
