After a while, the dragon slowly opened its eyes.
　The eyes alone were larger than my seven-year-old body.

"My name is Calamity, King of the Skies.
"This is Alexander Carlyle,
"Elisabeth C. Forsize is

　Eliza used honorific language.
　Not the emperor, not a girl.
　I've never heard her use an honorific tone of voice before.

"Forsize relation.
"Yes, I'm pleased to meet you, Guardian Dragon.
"Mm.

　Calamity nodded imperiously, then looked at me and Eliza in turn.

"And which one of you has freed me from my long sleep?
It's me.

　I came forward with an immediate response.
　The dragon's eyes glazed over and it looked only at me.

"Well, ...... my fate, let me first thank you.
"The Doomed One?
"Mm.

　Calamity lay on her face and drew her chin back slightly.

"I petrified myself to meet my destiny. Hoping that one day the one who will undo this will appear.
"I was able to petrify myself ...... so I could ......

　Beside me, Eliza was convinced.
　I wondered who had been petrified by a dragon as powerful as a god, but if he had done it himself, it made sense.

　But .

Why did you turn yourself to stone?

　It made sense forcefully, but I still didn't know what the intention was.
　When I asked, Eliza, once convinced, looked seriously at Calamity again, waiting for an answer to her question.

"It's an injury,
"Injured?
"I was waiting for the man who was destined to heal my injuries.
"A special injury?　Curse or something like that?

　When I was asked to heal the injury, I asked for details.
　No matter what kind of injury is unique, the Philosopher's Stone would know how to fix it.
　So I decided to ask for the details first.

No, it's just a battle wound. He fought for the Forsize and was beaten by 100,000 human troops, just a mortal wound.
I won't say it's just that!

　It made me yell out.
　A fatal wound inflicted by an army of 100,000 men is so far beyond the ...... human scale.
　I'm amazed that he only suffered injuries. .......

I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me to say this, but I'm sure it's a good idea for me to say it.

　Calamity read me as if she could read my mind and gave me supplementary explanations.
　To annihilate an army of 100,000 men on an 'angry' level.
　It's easy to see that dragons are far more than just living things.

　On the other hand, I get it.
　Well, that makes things a little easier.

To be sure, that's just battlefield injuries.
"Mm.
Okay. They say it's fatal, and it's better to do it soon, so I'm going to go a little rough.

　As he said this, he held up his hand and first let out his magic.
　The magic that was released into the air was kneaded and turned into the usual magic ball.

　Pure recovery magic spheres, white magic spheres. Make ten of them.
　Because of Calamity's huge body, I made 10 of them to match its vitality.
　After making them, you push them together against Calamity.

　Like white magic balls melting, they're sucked into Calamity's body.

　It was responsive.
　At first I felt some resistance, but after increasing the amount of magic and rotation of the magic spheres, I was able to easily break through the resistance.

　After throwing all the magic spheres into Calamity, the dragon looked up from the ground where he was lying with a surprised look on his face.
　It was different from the languid, languid movements of earlier, but it was quick and agile.

"You're cured ......," he said.
"Something wrong yet?
"......

　Calamity stared at me with incredulous eyes.

I knew it would be great: ......

　Eliza mumbled something like that from next to me.
　Calamity and Eliza, they were both surprised.
　Why are you so surprised?

What's going on?
What's the matter, don't you see, Alec?
"What?
Dragons are resistant to all kinds of magic. So strong that they can nullify practically all magic.

　Eliza's explanation, confirmed by using the Philosopher's Stone.
　A race closer to God is called dragons, which are resistant to all magic, just like Eliza said.

　So that's what the resistance was all about.

Yes. That's why no one could heal my injuries. Even healing magic is nullified by resistance.


I see. ...... But then why didn't you fix it yourself?　I could have petrified myself, so why didn't you do the healing magic yourself?
It's impossible.

　Calamity lifted the corners of her mouth with dexterity.
　The expression on the dragon's face was unfamiliar, but I could tell from the atmosphere that he was smiling to himself.

"I'm not very good with healing magic. I didn't need it.
...... I know, it's the downside of being too strong.
"Exactly.

　Calamity laughed with a croak and a throaty laugh.
　It's no wonder that if you're as strong as a god and resistant enough to nullify all attacks, you'll never learn recovery magic.

Therefore, I petrified my body and stopped all life activities, waiting for the appearance of the one who is destined to undo this one. I decided to trust that he would be the one, or perhaps my fate.
"I see.
I never thought it would be ...... such a good one.

　Calamity, tongue wagging, I finally figured it out.
　I was surprised that the recovery spell had broken through my resistance enough to disable it.

　Calamity stared at me more closely.
　Quietly, intently.

"Ask.
"--What?
"Speak directly to your heart - ask

　The unfamiliar type of voice startled me for a moment, but then it was explained to me and I understood. It's telepathic magic.
　I looked back into Calamity's eyes and waited for her to ask me a question.

"Are you God?

　For a moment, I felt a jolt.
　Past life assessment, reincarnation of the SSS rank.
　I remembered that time when I could be a god if I wanted to, and I felt a jerk.

Such power, the power that cured me so easily. It could only be a god.
"No, I'm just a man. I'm just a man.
"......

　Calamity stared at me in silence.

　After a while, she spoke aloud, this time not directly to my heart.

If so, then ...... was increasingly doomed.
Will it?
O Doomed One. This life saved, I want to use it for you.
Does that mean you owe me a favor?

　Calamity nodded quietly.
　But shortly thereafter.

"Will you be my master?

　She made a terribly shocking confession.

"To the master of the guardian dragon ......?　Amazing ......

　I was surprised, but what surprised me more was Eliza.
　She was standing next to me with an exclamation on her face like I had never seen her before.
