"... are you here?"

When I reached the mountain where I met the dragon the other day, such a voice sounded.

Looking around, I know that this is the result of concealment, although it is only a mediocre view of the forest.

"Yes, I brought you what you promised me. Should I leave it here?

That's what I ask in that invisible state.

You can detect the junction and destroy it like this, but even if the opponent is a powerful dragon, it won't be like weakening the opponent.

It will be too late to heal the wound, and this is fine as long as the conversation can be normal even in this state.

That's what I thought, but at the same time as I replied, the tensioned boundary disappeared into the air, and the distorted sight appeared in front of me.

In other words, he saw a wounded black dragon lying on his back.

The Black Dragon said.

You can't leave in such a hurry. I'm free. Become a little chat partner. "

I thought I'd suddenly say something, but I certainly didn't do anything and waited here just to recover.

But I have plans, too.

"I can't stay long. I'm keeping my family waiting at home. I'm going to visit the fish farm with my stepfather today and my husband and son, so I have to get back by then."

When I say so, the Black Dragon sounds stunned.

I can often tell you that you prioritize your own plans before this self......

And I said,

Sure, maybe it's right to lie flat and listen to all the demands.

But....

"Time with your family is important."

I don't think so much because I didn't take much care of it the other day.

There was love in the family itself.

However, he spent most of his time for other purposes and neglected to talk to his family.

That's why I don't want to do it this time.

Well, even so, in the end, there are undeniable parts of it that have to be done, but it should still be a step forward for families to go on holidays like this.

All you have to do is say that even if the Black Dragon is the opponent, it will not be allowed to take away the time of the family reunion that you created.

Once again, you look stunned by my words, and further,

"... but family. It's something I don't understand."

I said it with distant eyes for a moment.

I was somehow curious about the tone of voice and asked reflectively.

"... even if it's a dragon, isn't there a family? Is it true that you were born from your mother? Or is it an ecosystem that is left in danger immediately after birth?

In fact, the ecology of dragons is not so well understood.

Even if you say dragon in one bite, there are various species, because there are some, but if you become more powerful species, you will no longer be able to say what ecological investigation is like.

How do you want to continuously investigate the existence of death if you get closer?

So my common sense is just a fact that human scholars have managed to deduce from the fragments of knowledge that have been gathered.

The Black Dragon.

"Hmm, interesting thing to say. Well, there are no such species... but I'm not one of them. I was born from my mother... But my mother is gone."

"No...?

The answer would be roughly certain, but the black dragon suddenly turned to me with a strong gaze.

Before you do, there's one thing I want to ask you. It's about your dragon. "

Huh?

I tip my neck to the sudden question.

Dragon Qi But I've never heard such a word before.

The black dragon seemed to understand that I really didn't understand, whether he looked at my face or smelled it, and he sighed and asked with a softer voice than before.

"... you can see the remnants of the special life energy that only the tall dragon wraps around you. But as far as I can tell, you're not a dragon. And there's no sign of a dragon around. Do you have any idea? It's about dragons."

"... the blue dragon that attacked Astelle was the best idea?

I've been so close to the dragon.

And I was under direct attack at that time.

Even though I defended myself, there is a possibility that something special has stuck to me.

But the Black Dragon shook his head sideways.

No, it's not his Dragon Qi, so that's not it. That "Dragon Qi"... no. Let me be honest. You seem to be relatively trustworthy for people. "

Really? It's the second time we've seen each other. "

It's too much to say to the boulder, but there is something about the smell. You've never lied to me before. That's the hardest thing to do. "

"I mean, you know a lot of people who don't."

Unfortunately. Anyway, that's why I want to tell you one of my secrets. "

"What's that?

Your Dragon Qi is probably my mother's.
