"... I don't know what happened to the dragon, but I'd like you to leave as soon as you can if your grief goes away."

That's what I say to the Black Dragon.

Of course, I only have enough power to blow before the power of this black dragon to fly, so this way of speaking will be disrespectful.

However, if the power is so far away, there is nothing I can do about it.

I can only say that when I die, I die.

Now, even if I change my tone and start humbling, I may have a bad impression on the contrary, and I thought I had to keep talking while being careful not to touch the scale.

In my words, the Black Dragon,

"Still, you've been so majestic before me... aren't you afraid of me?

I asked, so I said.

"It's horrible. If you care, I'll be killed right away."

Then why are you being so thick?

"There are many reasons... do you want me to be polite in the first place?

"Hmm? No... I don't have any particular hope of that. I don't care about human tone."

"Isn't it? That's why I'm doing it."

"I feel like I don't like anything... but I know why. So... you tell me to get out of here, but what's wrong with being here?

That's what the Black Dragon asks me with his face as if he found something to prey on.

From the conversation, it seems to me that I am obsessed with it.

Of course, there's a problem, because Trad has my family.

I don't want to put them in danger as dragons.

That's all.

And whether or not to say that to this black dragon...

A delicate choice.

However, it feels like it would be useless to lie.

I can't seem to fly now because I'm hurt, but it's still as easy as killing me in front of you as trying to escape.

Also, even if I managed to escape well, if I was seriously searched for after the wound had healed, I would have to live with fear of being chased by the dragon every day at that point.

That was a big deal, too.

So let's be honest. It's not a big deal.

"Yes, there is. I'm staying in a town nearby, but I have a family there. Their lives will be in danger if you run wild around here without thinking. Do you think it's natural that you want me to leave?

"... you don't seem to be lying... do you?

Black Dragon said such a thing in an unexpectedly loving tone when he tried to say he was lying.

Perhaps he has the power to tell lies from the situation.

There are a few magic tricks to spot lies, but I don't think it's another way to do it because I didn't feel like it was activated right now.

Of course, it could have triggered it at a level I couldn't discern... but this Black Dragon's tight boundaries were well spotted.

Regardless of the magnitude of the power, such as the amount of magic, if it is a technical matter, I think that I am better at minor moves.

So it's probably not magic.

Then, if you say something, you'll be in trouble, but the Black Dragon will give you the answer.

"You know what I mean? I didn't mean to put it on my face in particular. Did you use magic?

That's what the Black Dragon says to me.

"No, but when people lie, they smell different... Not if it's completely hidden from the smell, but you're not. That's why I know if you're lying."

"It smells... I know that some of the Beasts have the technology to say that. It's the same."

That's what it is. In addition... hmm. Well, is this okay?

Say something and stop.

I was curious, but I thought I might become a snake, so I stopped pushing into it in particular.

And then the Black Dragon.

Well, I understand your situation. If that's the case, I swear I won't be here until the wound heals. "

and has made unexpected proposals.

"Really?"

"Oh, I don't know about the other dragons, but I don't like lying. I just... have a condition."

After all, it doesn't seem to be unconditional.

If you care about it, you can do whatever you want with my life, so it feels like it's nothing else.

Anyway, if it's impossible, I think it would be better to accept it if it could come true, I say.

"What's that? I'll listen as much as I can if I can."

"I appreciate accepting it quickly... but it's okay. It's easy. I would like a little accommodation about food and so on. Besides, I don't mind if you bring me some magic stones. What do you think you can do?

I was honestly ready to destroy one city and be told that, but the proposal of the Black Dragon was surprisingly common sense.

It's just...

"How much food do you eat? I don't think it's easy to gather all the food in town enough to keep this giant on a boulder."

Ah, I don't need that much. It's mostly magic that keeps me here. However, if you are human, you can prepare food for a few adult males for a while. "

"... if that's all"

If you ask me at the inn, I will be able to get it out without any problems.

I don't know what the problem is, but... well, whatever happens.

"... what is the quality of Magic Stones?

'I want what is of the best possible quality, but I can't help it. However, I think it would be more beneficial for you because it would repair the wound so quickly. "

"If there were magic stones, it would heal faster... I see. Then I will try my best to procure it. So, what else?

I asked him if he still had any, but the Black Dragon was there.

No, that's all. I won't move here, so I just need you to bring me what I just said tomorrow. It will heal completely in a month, so please wait until then. "

That's how I lowered my head.

"I'm surprised... the dragon is lowering its head."

A lot of ungrateful people. I'm not like the other dragons. "

Sure, I thought so. I promised the Black Dragon a rough time to come tomorrow and decided to go back to the museum.
