Side Story Episode 34

However, if Kania didn't mind, he would keep talking.

“Are you Delneph’s friend?”

“friend… … That doesn't even make sense. I am… … no more than that! Delneprani... … What can you say about humans…” When

Kania called out to Delneph lightly, she asked if it bothered her, slightly widening her eyes differently from before.

“never mind. Melunes.”

Rather, Delnef scolded her as if to stop her.

“Dedelneph? ！”

“I have known this person for a while.

So no problem.”

“under… … But something like a human

“… … And that word is going to be a bit of a problem. Haven't you heard from Nerel'?”

“no way? You can't even say that.”

Rather, Kania, who had been watching as if she was curious, intervened skillfully and stopped Delnef.

“Well, it's true that we're human, and

that's no different than calling us dragons.”

“How are you?”

Kania spoke cheerfully and told her not to make it an issue anymore.

“how… … What are the humans there doing with Delnef-sama?”

When asked carefully if Melunes was also suspicious, Kania folded her arms as if thinking about what to say.

For now, it's because of work, but should I explain what happened before?

More than anything, it's like asking how you know.

“Did I stab him with a sword before?”

“Do you stab me?!”

Melunes is shocked.

“… … No, when you say that, it sounds different.”

“is it? After that, you probably hid in Fahilia, where Arel is, right?”

“Are you hiding?!”

“So don’t talk like that.”

It sounds obviously different.

Delnef opened his eyes and protested, but Melunes, who was already startled, didn't seem to hear it properly.

She's just mumbling something softly.

“… … It was just as rumored... …

human. how much. Is it terrifying?”

“huh? oh?”

I said something similar before. I couldn't hear it because Kania interrupted in the middle.

However, Melunes suddenly seemed to think of something else.

“I! I have other things to do, so I have to go first!”

Saying that, he headed somewhere without looking back.

“… … hmm? You look busy?”

“That guy has been feeling that way ever since.”

Kania and Delnef just tilted their heads, not knowing what was going on.

Anyway, the welcome party to bring in the humans on the first day ended safely.

Now, from the next day, the human life to build friendship here will begin in earnest.

[iced coffee… … Mr. Delnef.]

Melunes' blue tail waggled.

Blue Dragon Melunes. She felt good for the first time in a while. Delneph, who had been waiting so long, finally returned.

How many hundreds of years have you waited?

He said he had returned once before, but at that time he was forced to flee due to an attack by monstrous humans.

Melunes longs for Delnef.

Delnef from hundreds of years ago was nobler than the rest of her kind and, above all, was enough to become her idol.

Above all, they look down on humans.

It is thrilling to recall the majesty of being feared by humans even now.

Delnef, the dragon who went out into the world and terrified humans directly, rather than being secluded.

At least, he is such a dragon that Melunes longs for.

In addition, she doesn't know Delneph's daily life these days.

[iced coffee… … Mr. Delneph.]

Then, he quietly prays for longing.

[…] … Hey? You said it before. If he knew that, he would definitely run away. The pure white scales will turn blue and retreat. To be honest, it's disgusting.]

There was a dragon who threw out a word to Melunes, who was thrilled at the reunion after a long time.

A light blue dragon with slightly pale scales.

[oh? Salia. Why?]

[…] … Seeing you do that made me want to hibernate.]

I want to close my eyes for about 500 years. Salia is grumbling like that.

In order to adapt to the busy society of late, he has been maintaining his lazy dragon attitude even though no one dares to hibernate.

[So why did you call again?]

[Salia needs help.]

[Ugh...]

[Don't be so disgusted! Yes?]

In the end, at the friend's request, I decided to listen to the story.

[As expected, Delneph must be being held captive by terrible humans!]

[Ah… … You mean that?]

Salia knows that too.

Isn't Delneph living in a human city actually being abused by humans? do you mean?

[That's just a rumor... … .]

[No doubt! I heard!]

said the human named Cania Ernesia.

Stabbed and stabbed with a sword, and in the end Delneph was once hiding in a human city.

[iced coffee… … How horrible this is.]

She probably sees Kaniana or other humans abusing Delnef in her head.

But Salia is cold-hearted and just thinks it makes no sense.

[No matter how much, humans kill dragons... … You can't just deal with it. Impossible.]

Physically impossible.

However, there was no way that Melunes would hear that opinion properly.

[I don't know! How scary are humans!]

[… ] … ah. Well, you hated humans.]

It's not that you look down on or despise humans. In the case of Melunes, he is wary of humans.

[My grandfather was killed by a human… … I heard that your father was captured by humans as well.]

There are extraordinarily scary monsters that ran amok in the past. They too are in human form.

That's why Melunes seemed to regard humans as fearful creatures.

[My mother did that when I was little. If you don't listen, humans will catch you? [ I

think you're the only one who believes in that until now!]

It's probably the only one.

[If they're really caught, we have to help!]

[Delnef doesn't say anything'?]

[There's no way a captured dragon can speak honestly.]

Is that so? Salia only tilted her head as if wondering.

[So I don't mean what to do?]

[We have to do something!]

[…] … Ah.]

This is embarrassing. more annoying than that

[You know. Putting aside anything else, if we were to get hurt, that Nerell wouldn't leave us alone?]

[Yes? … … It's such a terrible word to remove.]

[…] … .]

[Sometimes I think about it, but Salia also says scary things.]

[…] … .]

I think I'll hibernate for about a hundred years!

[so? If it doesn't do any particular harm, what should I do?]

[I'm making the human get tired of being here and leave!]

To the extent that it doesn't cause harm, it makes that human sick of being here.

… … If Nerell or Delneph had heard of this, they would lament that the level of their people had fallen to this point.

In a good or bad way, dragons are also proof that they have recently started to be affected by the times.

[I heard that the human is staying here and trying to find a way for the human and us to adapt to each other.] […

] … hmm? I think I heard it.]

[So, just make them think it's difficult!]

Saying that, she started talking about how to expel humans from this place.

… … But in the first place, when humans go out, doesn't Delneph go out too?

I have such a question, but I didn't say it. It's annoying too.

[Then do your best.]

[What are you talking about as someone else's work?]

[It's someone else's work?]

So, whose job is it ? At least he's not interested.

[I'm having a hard time alone, so please help me!]

… … Shall we pack up and leave now? She was relatively sincere.

well it's going to fail anyway

Haven't had any success so far. So it's been like this for hundreds of years.

Thinking so, she lowered her head.

Hurry up and stop the grand work and go in and rest.

[so? What are you planning to do?]

“How about we guide the humans directly?”

The next day, two dragons proudly stepped out in front of Kania and other humans.

Melunes and Salia.

Now in human form to tell a story, they briefly introduced themselves and offered to guide Kania around the city.

“I think we can properly guide you. How is Delnef?”

“Haven't you heard anything from Nerel?”

Delneph frowned suspiciously.

Of course, there was permission to roam around, and when that happened, there was a condition that Delneph or other dragons must accompany him.

But can I leave it to you?

“However, you… … Can you go around with a human?”

Of course, Delnef knows that Melunes is wary of humans.

“oh? What a pitiful word. Times have changed? Of course, we came here on our own because we also want to be friendly with humans.”

Melunes spoke eloquently as if he had prepared it on purpose, insisting that Delnef leave it to him.

“No, if that's the case... … Asking people for their opinions.”

While Delnef backed away as if he was somewhat burdened, Kania tilted his head as if he was worried.

It's not just a quick bite, but it's going to be a review in my head.

“In fact, we are also well aware of the current trend of dragons. I can promise you a non-boring guide.”

“ah!”

Kania reacted to the word play.

I was getting a little tired of being quiet these days.

“If you want to live here and build friendships, it would be natural for you to experience our life firsthand.”

After persuading him, Delneph remained silent and said nothing.

“Shall we go! I want to follow you!”

Kania had already expressed her willingness to agree, as if giving in to the excuse of playing.

I can't possibly object to this.

Delneph eventually agreed.

“I'll tell Nerell later.”

Well, the intention is understandable.

If you just watch, nothing special will happen.

Most of all, he was entrusted with the role of guiding Kania, but he was in a situation where he was at a loss as to what to do.

He knows nothing about the life of his people now.

If that's the case, letting it go would be a way.

“Then take good care of me!”

Let's say Kania cheerfully shaking Melunes' hand.

“ah… … yes. Please take good care of me. human.”

She hesitated for a moment, as if she couldn't ignore it, but first took her hand.

Of course, their intentions and intentions are different, but Kania just smiles and treats them.

Permission was easily obtained from Nerell, and he was able to go to the city immediately.

“Come to think of it, did you say that Kania-nim is a human royalty? Then the scenery of an ordinary city might not fit.”

“are you okay? In the past, there were times when I wandered around a mountain village where it really snowed.”

Even then, it is a body that was bought and hit hard.

“By the way, how are the dragons usually doing?”

“How are you?”

She was quite worried about Kania's question. I never thought they would suddenly ask about their lives.

“I don’t think there is much difference.”

I was embarrassed to answer.

Literally, how are you usually? If you ask, there are not many people who can objectively analyze and say it.

They would be no different.

“So where are you going?”

“Of course, there are many things I want to show you about the lives of my people. Now~ I will guide you, so please follow me.”

Saying that, she raised her hand and Kania lightly jumped up and got on.

And while heading to the pre-determined place...

The eyes of two dragons, Melunes and Salia, meet.

The two of them shared their thoughts through telepathy using magic so that others could not hear them.

(Now! Look. You've definitely earned this human's trust!)

(So? Where are you going?)

Too bad I didn't hear.

It seems like she's plotting something, but that's because she's just doing things on her own and not really getting involved.

(I told you. This person is going to get fed up with us and go back!)

(I don't think I'll ever get tired of

this person...)

(Hong. That's coming soon.)

I've already thought about it enough.

Because she also understands that humans and dragons have fundamentally different common sense and sensibilities.

(To make these people feel the impact of our lives!)

(……Ah. If we do that somehow, our lives will become strange.)

Even if we achieve our goal, isn’t our honor diminished?

(Whatever it is.)

Be as it is. In the end, Salia gave up and decided to follow.

No matter what, it's not going to work out, so don't worry.

(……Didn’t you think it was rude?)

(No way,) How
