Sanzen no Souru Supina

"Anyway, what was the Dragon Clan for?" The first time I asked that question was when I tried to make a contract with him. "

Huh?

Since Ashlee began listening to this story, she was stunned for the third time.

Urd asked for a contract with Smaugard?!

And from Urdo?!

What does that mean... "

Urdo's confession was too surprising for Ashlee, who had always dictated that he was an abhorrent enemy.

"Don't look so surprised. I'm in love, too. Besides, in the old days... he was... soft and intelligent and educated. I learned a lot about history... and I was a little too good, but... I wasn't too weak. It's true."

In a slightly dreamy maiden tone, Urdo spoke of the figure of Smaugard.

Well, it's obvious because I'm my uncle.

"Uncle"

Ashlee was stunned and couldn't keep her mouth shut.

Urd and Smaugard are related.

If he is an uncle, Urd is his niece.

Moreover, it's a love relationship.

Thoughts can't keep up with surprises.

"But... I see." Does the small number of individuals necessarily mean that everyone is related by blood? "

"I don't like it because I'm related." And it used to be that I liked it. "

Don't get me wrong, huh?

For some reason, Aashre nodded, puzzled by Urdo, who pierced the nail tightly.

Ok, Urdo nods from above.

"In any case, our battle went on all night and all day. I was skilled at mediating. It was hard to compete. That's why he suggested it. I was wondering if I could keep this match. In other words, it was filled with water. Well, since I was intact, I didn't have to swallow the conditions by force, but I was tired. The nail was bleeding while defending itself, and I managed to outweigh it, so I could have pushed it in, but── I was very fragile. I can't take in the weaknesses of the weak."

"Ah, ahh,"

Ashlee thought while listening.

It was not that my uncle Smaugard had noticed my niece Urd.

Even if I made a mistake, I shouldn't scratch my cherished niece's skin, but she didn't attack herself and offered me peace by watching Urdo's stamina run out.

By doing so, she protected her purity and pride.

I still do, but when I thought about it, she gave me serious consideration for her future, which tends to be straightforward and blind.

The more you listen, the more confusing Ashlee becomes because she can't find the point of contact between Urdo's former Sumaugard and the overloaded Sumaugard.

"But then why? Why is such a kind man overloaded?"

"I told you before." Why was the Dragon Clan born? Everything was summed up in that question. It was a long time later that I realized it. ”

Why was the Dragon Clan born?

Urd nodded to Ashlee, who rebelled against Smaugard's inquiry in his own words.

"Now I think my uncle... Smaugard looked like you somewhere." Why, why is this world like this? Without shame, he was an immersive thought. He was a man with no dragons at all. "

If it was Urdo, it would have been nothing more than a reminder of the beautiful past that had passed and its revelations.

But the confession had a different effect on Ashlee.

As ──Urdo said, the current Ashley and the previous Smaugard were very similar.

No, they're exactly alike now (...).

No way.

What's the matter? Are you pale or not?

"I'm sorry, Urdo. Tell me more about Smaugard." Why did he become an overload? No, I wonder what he was wondering. the thought── he had reached and the world ahead of him. "

The dragon princess nodded after being pushed by the impetus of Ashlee.

Something's important, isn't it?

"You said it, Urdo." He said that I and Smaugard were similar. I'm not talking about the figure. Isn't that right? "

"Ah, yeah. Yeah... I don't even know what a good guy has in common, though..."

"Tell me, Urdo, where are we alike?"── That's right. Who did it for him, for the dragons, and for us? That's the question. Like me, he and Smaugard came to that question. That's our similarity, isn't it? It's the true reason you called me the same as the old Smaugard. "

It was the turn of Urdo to turn a blind eye to Ashle.

"You..."

The golden iris was shaking in the depths of the dragon princess's eyes.

"The foundation of this world. How did we end up like that (...)? Maybe Smaugard came to that question long before I did. You did not sit on your privilege as a king and be arrogant, but rather try to see the truth of this world."

Ashlee's eyes were twitching.

Those eyes are not looking at the sight in front of them now.

I'm just looking at the secrets of the world that I've experienced and learned in my previous journeys, which appear one after the other in my mind.

Extremely elevated intelligence is linked to the experience, and events that have been fragmented so far coincide one after another in the brain of Ashlee.

Urd stared at Ashlee like he was fascinated by the expression of the human knight, who came to understand one after another.

Or perhaps in the chest of the dragon princess, the expression of Smaugard, who once had the exact same face, resurrected.

Experience, learning, and sharpened intelligence, as well as a tireless imagination, may have been the face of Smaugard,── who was in love with Urdo in the process of combining it with── the height of understanding by bumping into each other and scattering sparks in the individual.

The evidence is that Urdo's cheeks are up, tearing, and his breasts are pulsating like early bells.

"Why do you ask the same question as── him?"

“All right, all right, Urdo. There's a reason I'm here. The reason I met you, the reason why Smaugard became an enemy."

That's why, said Ashlee.

"So tell me, Urdo. What did he tell you? [M] And why did you have to kill the human-Smaugard you so longed for? It was such a cruel execution. Please be as specific as possible and tell me the details."

At that time, I wonder what I should name the emotions that came from Urdo's eyes.

Stunned, bewildered, sad,── and determined to part.

Ashlee did indeed read such a complex emotional transition.

And the dragon princess understood that Ashle's eyes had received everything in her heart.

A different kind of tear dropped from the pitch-black eyes.

I see, I see.

Unknowingly, words of understanding speak.

"What have we encountered?──"

"It was inevitable."

"Fate," said Ashlee.

Because this encounter was a product of the will of Ashlee, who once fell in love with Dragon King: Smaugard, loved the nobility of his spirit and the attitude of seeking the truth, and was furious about the leopard transformation, and who rushed to the truth of the world by throwing all the glory he was prepared and asked for.

I felt too arrogant to call it destiny.

It seemed to Ashlee at this time that it was unacceptable to speak of the edge bound by human deeds as if it were the guidance of someone other than humans.

The dragon princess smiles at such a human knight.

Then, as determined, he cemented his taunt and resumed speaking.

How did Smaugard become an overload?

What did you do to him?

What questions guided him?

What answer would have driven── him mad?
