A few days later.

The giant body moves in the woods to check its movements.

And...

"... hmm, it looks like it's completely healed. Thank you so much for looking after me."

That's what the Black Dragon told me.

"I didn't take care of you, but... I wish it had healed. Are you leaving already?

I see. I have left the country too far, and my acquaintances may be worried. You'd better go early. "

"Well then...."

I was about to say goodbye.

No, before that. Take this first. "

As the Black Dragon says so, powerful magic accumulates in front of his eyes.

It gradually gathered and became a crystal with a black glow.

"This is...."

As you know, it's Dragon Crystal. I've put as much effort into it as I can now, so I think it's pretty good. I don't know if I can use it for what you're saying. "

"No, thank you very much. I'd like to observe something called" Dragon Qi "... and you're staying here, right?

Ah, I don't think people will feel it....

"If you give up before you do it, you won't know anything. I'll do it for now."

... that's right.

"Is this all right?

No, that's another one. I told you I'd visit you soon. I will not go in this state at that time. I'm going to show you the main unit. "

"Ah, that's easy to understand. But it's a burden to change."

I can do it because the wound has healed completely. In the first place, there were no more problems than magical quantities. It was just a scratch... and it's gonna change. "

At the same time, the body of the Black Dragon is wrapped in black light.

And the light gradually shrinks, and finally it becomes like a human black shadow.

The size... was still small.

I mean, the size of a child... well, she said she was ten years old, isn't that strange...?

After that, the black light gradually disappeared into the air, and the last thing left was the appearance of a boy.

Dark black eyes, deep abyss hair, and elegant, yet young, white boy stood there.

"... you're the Black Dragon, right?

When visited, the boy did not have a low voice like the earthquake he had just heard, but a high and young voice like a boy.

"Oh, yeah. Well, I told you beforehand, so there's nothing surprising about it.

"I've seen the change itself done by the Beast tribe... but I've never seen the Dragon tribe on a boulder before, so I'm quite surprised.

I've never met a Dragon Clan, even before.

That's because people and the Magus clan were at war.

The Dragon tribes were often in a position to represent the Devil tribes in particular, and because of the small number, they hardly ever came to Istword, and even if they did, the heroes did.

Because I valued my life, I pushed others behind me.

Fighting itself was not hesitant, and there was a feeling of swallowing up the possibility of dying, but it was a type of avoidance where the danger was too high.

I thought I was good at preserving myself... but in the end, it was probably my fault because I was killed.

I haven't taken my life so seriously this time.

I don't want to die, of course, but I don't want to survive at the expense of others.

"Hmm, I see... Well, now you remember me, don't you?

I nodded at the words of the Black Dragon, but I asked.

"... speaking of which, won't you tell me your name?

"I think it's each other."

Neither did the Black Dragon, but I have not named myself so far.

There's a reason for this, because naming hostile opponents has the potential to cast spells.

Well, it's rare, and it's almost impossible to name it alone, but it would be possible if it had as much power as this black dragon, and it seems that the black dragon is also a black dragon, and I am quite vigilant.

Considering that, I don't feel like asking the name, but the next time I visit the boulder, it will come in through the front door, and the servants may not pass without the name at that time.

That's why I had to ask.

I say.

"The next time you come, you need it, right? I don't mind flying in the sky... but I have a gatekeeper at home."

"Mm... I see. Speaking of which, even though you have enough food and magic stones for a few days, you can prepare them on a regular basis, so I'm sure you're in a good position. Then... do you need a name?"

"Yeah... well, it's for identification purposes, so it doesn't have to be my real name."

"Okay. Now, you can call me... Jill."

"Jill. Well, the next time you come, name it. The person you look like... I don't know. Oh, my name is Elaine."

"Elaine. That's a nice name. Well, let's really get going. It's a disaster, Elaine."

At the same time, the shape of the boy changes again.

And back to that giant black dragon, it went up at an incredible speed and flew away.

While I saw it, I was relieved that the troubling presence had finally disappeared from the land of this trad.
