The 5000-year-old Herbivorous Dragon

I want to check the situation calmly.

"Begin the precision inspection with this. Be careful how you treat valuable individuals."

Mr. Yolo and I broke up. We went to the lab as soon as possible. And as soon as I arrived, I was trying to find out about the festival.

If you notice, I'm in the lab now.

Dazzling lighting that brightly illuminates the room. Researchers dressed in white robes and covered their faces with masks. And I was put to sleep on the table and restrained with a band of limbs.

"Um, I'm not a customer, am I? This makes me feel like an experimental animal."

"Experimental animals? Damn it. We're not going to dispose of it that way. It is our mission to examine every corner more closely…"

"Yeah, I've never heard of a beast with scales that would be every drug. We need to uncover the ecology and set the course for effective use as soon as possible."

A variety of appliances are attached to me. All the advanced stuff I've never seen, and how it works, my skeleton-like diagram is projected with light on a bright white wall.

"Find out what you like. Your intelligence will not allow you to grasp the full story of the Evil Dragon..."

During this time, Laeko was rinsing his tea while sitting in the front seat in the corner of the lab.

"Um, Raco. Are you primarily an ant for this treatment of me?

"A lot of passion these guys have for the evil dragon... not me who can't understand it"

"I don't think your passion is in the right direction."

It's not respect or anything, but I think these people are looking at me in the same line as material or something.

In any case, I can no longer resist in this situation. You won't be killed, and it's been a few hours since you decided to let yourself be.

Consequences.

"I don't know... understand, I can't... what is this creature..."

Freed from the lab, in contrast to my relieved breath in the lobby - the researchers who preceded the test results were shaking like corpses without expression.

"Why not. Why can't you reproduce it? Owner's daughter, can you just show me the steps again"

"Don't make me say it again and again. Let the scales of the evil dragon creep into the water like this. See, now we're done with the panacea."

"Hot frying procedures are simplified at some point"

Perhaps boiling the water became a hassle and served my settings additionally. Please, don't take it easy. I want you to know the importance of taking proper time.

"But if we put the scales through the water, it won't do any good..."

"That's because we don't have enough understanding of the evil dragon. If you can take into account the feelings of the evil dragon and obey his will, the evil dragon will bring you grace first and foremost"

"What? So you're saying that the effect of this scale is only exerted when certain people use it?

"Naturally. Healing by the evil dragon is given only to those who believe in its power."

As soon as they heard it, the researchers, who were like burnt ashes, gathered with straw to begin rigging.

"What do you mean? Does that mean we're creating drugs with surgical logic via some sort of magic rather than just a pharmacopoeia?

"But there was no magic in that creature."

"Aren't you just cleverly covering it up? Try the test again."

Their intellectual quest seems to be growing considerably in front of a mysterious creature called Me. No one suspects that it is not me, but the young girl in front of me, who produces the medicine in a mysterious way.

In fact, Laeko is more of a mysterious ecology than I am.

Is this the preconceived notion?

"Um, guys. I think there's a lot I'd like to look into, but we wanted to ask you a few questions, so I came here, so, uh, one hassle. Yeah, so can someone talk to me?

They don't end up like this forever, so I'll raise my front leg and cut to the point.

"Medicine is the grace of the evil dragon," Laeko said earlier. If it's a favor I put out in this stream, they won't get in the way either.

"Consultation? In what content?

Identification, a young researcher wearing round glasses rushed up to me with a scratch.

"There's a heap of things I'd like to ask you - right. First of all, I'd like to ask you about a festival in this country. Sounds a lot like a big deal, but what kind of events do you do?

"Interested in the festival?

"Oh, not in a weird way. If it was a busy thing, I'd like to see it."

I panicked and explained that it would be difficult for me to be misled if I was playing weird tricks.

Well, on the contrary, it's an afterthought that Yolo has already done something terrible.

"Oh. It's a shame, but it's not a ritual that looks fun. Most things are done solemnly in the cathedral. The general public, like us, is committed to taking more prayer time than usual."

"So you're not going to play music or have a banquet?

"There are many areas where such festivities take place, but God in our country supposedly preferred calm. Therefore, foreign guests are also severely restricted during this period."

Apparently, it's not an easy festival to understand, like at the Virgin's.

I'm in trouble when this happens. If the cathedral progresses in secrecy, there is no gap for us to take and enter.

"Well, do you know what's going on in the cathedral? Can we do another sight or something?

"The sight - you won't be able to. Because it is a secret of our country. However, we are familiar with the rituals that take place inside."

Saying so, the researchers sent their gaze through the lobby's large window to the cathedral.

"There is a man in our country who hears the voice of God: the 'Witch of the Creed'. And the other day, a contemporary witch retired -- and this festival is an alternative."

"The voice of God?

I jumped to the point. That is exactly what we were looking for.

"Yes. We gather young women of magic from among the faithful and wait for the proclamation of God's trusteeship." I order the next generation of witches, "he said. And the divinely entrusted witch will be responsible for the protection of this country as the one who hears the voice of God."

I see, and next to me, Laeko struck his hand.

"So if you threaten that witch and subdue her, you can secure a point of contact to God in this country, Master Evil Dragon."

"Why bother trying to subdue me? If you normally ask for an intermediary."

I relieve myself a little after I beat up Laeko.

Then after the festival, let's say we ask the newly decided witch to see us. I am a panacea animal all the time, and if we negotiate successfully, we are likely to get a chance.

"Mm, roger. Thank you. I know a lot of things I need to know."

"No, it's not a big deal"

The young researcher said with an uncontrolled grin. When I was looking at my skeleton diagram, I looked like a madman with my eyes running blood, but when I looked at it like this, I was an ordinary good young man. I want you to wash your feet from this industry if possible.

Anyway, it doesn't seem like a bad person.

At this rate, if we can also hear about spirits, demons, and the magic of Lecco...

"Everyone in the public knows about this festival. Because there are so many rumors all over the city about who the next witch will be. The house of the faithful whose daughter has become a candidate for witch is backed by a kinship..."

The phrase 'all over the city' made me stronger.

"The whole city...... uh, so much for everyone to talk about?

"That's right. Whatever. Witches don't get involved in politics, but they're the symbols of this country. If you're going to decide on a new witch, I don't care anymore. Churches, squares, shops, liquor stores, if people get together more than two people, we're already just having this conversation yesterday - oh, hey!?

When I heard that, I was already running outside the lab.

It was a mistake. It should have been much easier to hear the story now than to come to the lab.

And when I went to the front of the cathedral with the leiko I followed, the prediction was quite correct.

- There was Yolo, who was making an unscrupulous demand to the cathedral gatekeepers to "let him through".

"This is the Lord! I told you to stay quiet!

"Mmm? Oh, I'm sorry. I heard a good story, so I thought this one was quicker."

"It's not quick. Damn it. We haven't decided on a witch yet, have we? He said that the earlier witches had retired, and even if they came to the cathedral in such a hurry, they wouldn't listen to God."

"What are you talking about? We're not going to wait long for a new witch."

Yolo slapped himself in the chest with an invincible smile.

"We ourselves become new witches. That will be all."

No matter how you look at it, Yolo, who doesn't qualify as a witch, was overflowing with unfounded confidence. I - from the bottom of my heart, wanted to pretend to be someone else already.

And after all, the gatekeeper asked all three of us to pick it up.
