The wife of the villains, returning to death to change her mind.

"That's what I got... I feel like I'm getting too much of this from a boulder."

He went back to the Farrence house and told Clément to open the box that Fica had given him.

What happened there was amazing.

It looks like a crystal that emits a dark shine close to purple, but it's not really like that.

"... I've never seen Dragon Crystal anywhere but an auction for nobles."

"I don't know. Even that auction is an item that will or will not come out once every ten or twenty years. Besides, it belongs to the finest class of dragons... and if it comes up for auction, it should be something they say it's a hundred years old."

Yes, "Dragon Crystal" is just that much.

It is simply a type of magic stone that the dragon possesses in its body.

That's why I might think that you also have a flying dragon.

However, the magic stones held by Feilong are simply called magic stones.

The Dragon Crystal was called only Dragon Magic Stones with more than a certain stature.

It is caused by the specificity of its existence. Normally, the magic stone that a monster has in his body is obtained by defeating and dismantling the monster.

But "Dragon Crystal" is different.

Even if you defeat and dismantle a dragon, you can usually take the magic stones that the dragon has in you, but you can't take the Dragon Crystal.

So, how do we get it? There are rare things left in places that I think were dragon nests.

As for why, there are various theories, but the living proof that the dragon left behind with his own strength when he died, such as breast milk given to children, is famous theory that it is produced only when raising children.

In fact, it is not clear.

However, in legends, there is also a statement that the contract made by communicating with the high-ranking dragon was proven, and some people argue that it can be obtained by negotiating with the dragon that is not the person.

And in this case, Fika had a story to support this theory.

"Fika... once told me that she received this Dragon Crystal directly from the dragon."

"From the dragon!? No... it's amazing, but in her position there's no other way to get it, and you should think it's not a lie."

Fika is a civilian in need.

At the auction, even the aristocrats can't afford to buy items that only cost money.

It's not unlikely that it was a theft, but whoever originally had the Dragon Crystal could not have been properly guarded to be stolen by Fika.

In the first place, Fica was a man of clean character, even though she was certainly in distress.

I don't think I can do such a thing.

Now, I can't help wondering if it was discovered in the dragon nest, but it is a magic that cannot reach ordinary people, such as the so-called deep mountain valley where the dragon nest is located.

There is no way that she, who was suffering from illness, could go to such a place.

When I was young, I didn't seem to have such a strong background.

Even if I was old, I could feel the signs and magic, but there was nothing like that.

After all, as she said, she received it from the dragon itself.

"Yes, she was a dancer when she was young, but she ran into a dragon while hunting for vegetables in the mountains around here."

"Hmm... that's it. When it comes to dragon raids, is this Astelle actually an important land for dragons? But there's hardly any sightings of the dragon..."

"You don't know what a boulder is."

"Oops, you broke my back. Keep going."

"Yeah... that's it. Looks like the dragon was pretty badly wounded...."

"The dragon has wounded... whether it has been attacked by a more skilled adventurer or mercenary, or a rivalry of the same kind..."

"Not now, either. Anyway, when I saw it, I thought it was normal for me to run away, but Mr. Fika, it's been a long time since I was a little pushy or scared. She didn't run away, but approached the dragon and talked. Are you okay with your injury? Do you have anything you need?

"... that's it. Instead of being afraid, you can say bravery."

"Well, to be honest, there were some signs that he might be killed if he tried to escape. Maybe that was the real reason."

"Ah, I see. The information that there was an injured dragon in the mountain would sell quite well, and there might soon be a crusader. To avoid such dangers, killing when you see a human being is likely to be the behavior of an intelligent, high-altitude dragon."

"But I didn't think the dragon would talk to the boulder himself. He seems surprised. And... communication succeeded. The dragon seems to have been a high-end dragon capable of conversation."

"I won some kind of bet. So?"

"Then, surprisingly, the dragon honestly said he needed help and asked Fika a lot. Ask for food and cloth."

"Is that enough for you?

"That sounds like she was questioning it, but she took it honestly. There was nothing else I could do. Besides, the next time I went there, I almost lost a pretty big scratch."

"The dragon's healing powers are beyond human intelligence. It's not strange....."

"And the dragon thanked Fika, created the Dragon Crystal, gave it to her, and flew away."

"I feel like I got a pretty good price for food and cloth, but for the dragon, was it much appreciated? I don't really understand the principles of behavior... but Fika seems to be a lucky man. That's why you came this time."

I wonder. But there are people in the world who have so many strange experiences that God loves them. That's what Fika must be like... "

And I wanted to say that, too, but this is not something that makes sense where I said it.

But I felt like it might be inevitable that I met Fika in a way.
