Chapter 24
The legendary Bright White Dragon looks at us and mutters.
『…… Humans again』
I could hear its displeasing words because of〈Pinnacle of Language〉.
「Fun, you fool. No way a Divine Dragon would be in a place like this! It’s smaller than Red Dragon! Look, let’s kill it as usual!」
The mage girl in Gard’s party declares energetically.
She began chanting a spell.
As expected of B-rank adventurer, she finished the chant in two seconds and fired a lightning magic.
The lightning hits the Bright White Dragon directly.
「Fufun, how about that! ――!? I, it didn’t work?」
The Bright White Dragon is completely unscathed.
But, it got shocked for some reason.
『My food……』
A plate is floating near the Bright White Dragon.
However, the object that was on the plate is now completely carbonized because of the lightning.
『Unforgiveable』
The Bright White Dragon opens its mouth wide and roar.
Oooooooooooo!!
It lets out a fierce shockwave which blows us backwards.
「Ku…… To think just its roar would create such powerful shockwave…… both of you, are you all right?」
「U, un, thank you, Gard!」Noisy one
「Y, you saved me……」Ojousama
Gard risked his life to protect the two girls while flung against a wall.
As one would expect.
The two rescued girls have faces of maidens completely in love.
Maa, but it’s our win.
At any rate, I have three girls.
「I will more or less thank you, but I would like you to not touch my but in the midst of confusion, though?」
「M, my b.r.e.a.s.t.s have been rubbed!」
「Papa is ecchi~!」
Why are the reactions so different?
Is it the face? Is it the face, after all?
By the way, I didn’t do anything to Filia (Important).
「W, what are you guys doing at a time like this? …… Ku, I will buy you time! Quickly escape!」
Gard pulls out the huge sword on his back and charges at the Bright White Dragon with a desperate look.
He wants to become a decoy in order to let his friends and us escape.
He’s already a reflection of perfect ikemen.
Kiin, a high-pitched metallic sound resounds.
The collision of Gard’s huge sword and the Bright White Dragon’s scales creates fireworks.
「Ooooo!」
Gard swings his sword at a lightning speed.
However, the Bright White Dragon uses his tail as a sword and repels all of
「My Adamantine sword……!?」
There’s a chip in Gard’s sword.
On the contrary, the Bright White Dragon scales don’t have a single scratch.
The sword made of the indestructible metal Adamantine is no match against the scales of the Bright White Dragon.
『Unexpectedly skilled. But, in the end, a human』
The Bright White Dragon opens its mouth and bites towards Gard.
Gard who has his hands full of swinging his sword doesn’t have a chance to dodge.
「Gard!?」
「Noooo!」
The girls scream at Gard.
But, the tragedy which the girls expected didn’t happen.
「A, are…… I……?」
「You okay?」
I have narrowly rescued Gard.
「Y, you have saved me……?」
Gard’s eyes open wide.
tte, don’t stare at me at a point-blank range.
I was holding him in a princess carry.
Since it was a last second save, I didn’t have time to consider the posture.
Princess carrying an ikemen… is this a punishment game……
『That speed right now, what was it?』
The Bright White Dragon looks at me in surprise.
I put Gard down and face the Bright White Dragon.
Then, I talk in the dragon language.
『I’m Karuna』
『Human speaking a dragon language? …… How unusual』
『I have a proposal for you』
『What?』
『Won’t you become my pet?』
『…… Surely, you jest?』
『I’m serious, you know? Look, I have prepared a collar properly』
I show it the collar I have prepared.
I made it in case something like this would happen.
「…… Did you do something so worthless again?」
Tira looks at me with squinting eyes while I’m exchanging words with the dragon.
『…… I have a condition』
Surprisingly, the Bright White Dragon showed interest in my proposition.
『Delicious things, I want to eat them』
『Yes, alright』
I readily nod.
Apparently, this Divine Dragon is at a place like this because it remembered the delicious food humans cook.
Therefore, it came into a human habitat and stole their food.
『I have another one』
『What is it?』
『I don’t want to serve under a weak person』
『Then, you mean I just have to defeat you?』
『Winning is impossible. I just have to approve of you. That is enough』
『Although it’s a good proposal, I will have to decline it』
『Why?』
『Because I’m stronger than you are』
『…… Not knowing your place leads to a premature death』
『Thank you for the warning』
The Bright White Dragon’s long body bends.
Its whole body gets covered in intense aura similar to fighting spirit――――A dragon spirit.
It’s completely different from the fight with Gard.
It’s the Divine Dragon serious mode.
「You all get away from here. You won’t survive if you get involved」
I warn everyone and switch to the battle mode.
This fellow is without the doubt my strongest foe yet.
I have to get serious.
『Coming』
『Come』
And then, I clash with the Divine Dragon.
