The 5000-year-old Herbivorous Dragon

"I'm not crying. I'm not crying. I didn't just yawn a little."

"Really? Sounds kind of sad, doesn't it?

"I'm really fine...... but thanks. Your Lord is a kind child."

And when I praised, the girl laughed as the flowers blossomed. And proudly stretches his spine.

"Yeah! I need to be nice to people in need. So!

"Well, I'm not a person, I'm a lizard."

"That, is it? Isn't that your kid Mr. Dragon?

"At least I'm not a child. It looks like this. It's pretty good, Grandpa."

I won't tell you how old I am, but my tone convinced the others. He sees my body around as a giraffe, saying "heh" or "ho". Probably such a lizard is unusual.

He also sticks around and pokes at the tip of his tail, but he doesn't have any particular problems, so he goes through.

I was more impressed with this kid's outfit. If it were to be wrapped around a monastic coat, maybe a church official - no, maybe even a ritual witch candidate.

There was a reason for me to think so, besides clothing.

For the first time in a long time my eyesight had sensed a slightly drifting magical qualities from this girl.

It is precisely a 'young woman equipped with magic' that meets the conditions.

"By the way, could your Lord possibly be a candidate for a witch?

"Huh? How did you know!?

And the anticipation is brilliantly medium.

The girl was surprised when she jumped. Honestly, I'm a little soothed by childish reactions.

If this were Raco's case, he'd only have a stable doya face, to his surprise.

"If you live long enough, you'll know as much as that. Oh, shit, I knew you were a witch candidate."

What luck. This could be a one-of-a-kind opportunity.

There is no chance that all three of us (me, Leiko and Yolo) could infiltrate as witch candidates. But in the first place, our purpose is not to be witches. I just want to send a message to God in this country that there is no hostility.

Then all you have to do is ask the real witch for a message.

"Yeah, I am! That kid over there, that kid over there, they all do!

She said so well, and the girl probably wielded her fingers all over it.

"What," he murmured. As I followed him with my gaze, there was a girl walking around the cathedral in a monastic coat.

"Ah... what. I thought it was a lot convenient to see you, so many oops. I mean, how many witch candidates are there in total?

"I wonder if there are hundreds of them. When we first got together, the cathedral chapel was stuffed with cucumbers."

"Well, that's quite a challenge..."

The clouds become suspicious. Are you saying that out of all those hundreds, there's only one person qualified to talk to God? Then the message isn't easy either.

"Some people have gone back to the country from themselves saying 'I can't be chosen' anymore. But I'm going to try... hehe, but I guess I can't? What do you think of Mr. Lizard?

"Yes, I am."

Take a good look at the magic of the candidates wandering around the square. I don't know exactly because some people may be hiding their powers, but at least there are a lot of people with stronger signs of magic than the girl in front of them. The selection criteria are unknown, but is it still basically advantageous to have strong magic?

But it would be cruel to poke reality at such a young child.

"Yeah, I don't know what's in the world. Until yesterday, a girl who didn't have any kind of weirdness can suddenly wake up one day. Your Lord may still be immature, but if you refine into the tunnel, God will surely think you deserve a witch, too."

"Really?"

The girl makes her eyes shine shiny. And I nodded as I encouraged,

"So be it. If the Lord chooses you as a witch, will you not give God a message from me? Yeah, well, it's not that big of a deal - actually, my people have only done a little bit of disrespect to God in this country. About it: 'I'm sorry. No offense, sir.' Will you tell him?

"As much as that, I think we should penance toward the cathedral, right?

"Yeah, with a level of disrespect that's not some penance. Don't ask me in depth because it's complicated."

Well, I'm determined.

If this happens, I'll have to ask the candidates walking around for a message from one end to the other. Take full advantage of my eyesight, and even enjoin Leiko to help, among other things, ask for a total win from a candidate who looks like a powerful magician.

"Good luck with that. I'm sure your lord will be fine."

"Thanks! I don't know if I'll be chosen, but if I can be a witch, I'll tell God properly, too!

I turned my heel back and tried to leave the scene, bearing the guilt of my beloved girl in my heart.

It was then.

"- Don't know if I'll be chosen? What are you talking about? You have already been chosen by the Evil Dragon. As our messenger. Then there can be no future but to be chosen as a witch."

For me, I heard a young, docile voice. From overhead.

Of the fountain in the square - on the top of a stone spire scattered with water, Lecco stood magnificently and royally.

It was even a little mysterious to put the sun behind us and drop only the shadows here.

But the only time I dressed like that was in seconds and "suck" and landed right away.

"Laeko? Did Mr. Yolo send you yet?

"We made sure we got to the liquor store safely. Do, Master Evil Dragon. You're going to raise this little girl to be our assassin, aren't you?

"I don't have that dangerous idea, do I?

No, it's not. I didn't mean to make such a single bet, I meant to entrust a shallow and broad message.

"Jarryu?

The girl at heart is leaning her neck against my name.

"Chi, it's not! Master Evil Dragon is just my nickname. You see, I have black, pale eyes? That's why they call me by that nickname because it looks like Evil Dragon Ravendia. I'm never a real evil dragon."

The girl stares at my panic and feels like she can't understand it. I don't seem to be scared for now.

"That?

and suddenly the girl's body lifted to space.

Raiko lifted it from behind her back.

"Let's ask. Do you really want to be a witch?

"Huh? Yeah. I'll do my best!

"Well, I'm ready. That's just how the evil dragon chose me."

And Laeko closed his eyes and laughed "whoops" cool.

"I miss you. This feeling is as if you were looking at me before you became a family member...... Dear Evil Dragon. Leave the development of this person to me. Let me tailor you to the most powerful witch who can even kill God."

"Laeko, calm down. Let go of the child. What the Lord is about to do is a clean crime..."

Before my words were finished, Laeko rushed out of the square in a fierce dash.

Keep a young girl in your arms.
