I would have thought about it if you had at least told me your name or something. It's not only suspicious, but also not very nice of you not to give us any information after we've answered your questions."

"Okay, but do you have an antidote?"

Since sacred magic cures everything, he can't use it, so he goes through his luggage and pulls out a poison remover.

"By the way, seriously, if you've been stalking people and looking so suspicious that you won't even tell me your name, you might as well be wrapped up in a box. Can I respond by saying, "Yes, you can."

　It took me a while to get it out of him because he was numb, but the bottom line is that this Mr. Dragonut is guarding the cavalry, and I entered the cavalry habitat and he passed me by when I was on the lookout.

　Then what was he doing?　He said he was following me because he thought I might hunt a cavalryman on my way home.

"So it looked like I was using white as a shield and attacking from behind," he said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Compositionally, yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In reality, I was taking him down after he went in for the kill. Well, it is common for long-distance players to use someone or something as a shield, but I don't think White could have been misunderstood because he would not look like a shield-type summoner at all, nor would he look like a melee-type summoner.

　Usually, the owner of a summoned beast is supposed to specify the behavior of the summoned beast. White is completely free-range.

　So that's why I felt the killer spirit during the battle. He's not a bad person or a bad dragonut.

Maybe it's because he's a brawler.

That's what happened.

No, it didn't.

"Hey!　Why should I be the one to go out and find a cavalryman!"

"You speak more fluently than I thought you would. White said so, but I see now that I have needlessly alarmed you, even though it was a misunderstanding, so don't worry about it and go home. Even though I was suspicious of you, I don't expect that much from the person I wrapped you up in a box.

　The structure of the mouth is different from that of humans at a glance. It has long limbs and fingers. The claws seem to be strong. And a tail that comes to the knees. Despite its chest plate, it looks thin because of its hunchback and long arms and legs.

"You can't tell me why you don't want him here, but you can't trust him with the cavalry?　Hmmm?"

Mr. Dragonewt suddenly starts screaming. He's a very restless man, fidgeting and shouting.

　Maybe it's a man.

　I'm not sure I can tell the difference between a male and a female when I meet a lizardman, but I wonder if I can tell the difference between a dragonet and a lizardman. I heard that it is difficult for humans to distinguish between male and female lizardmen, since they do not have different breasts, the male's p*n*s is stored inside his body like most reptiles, and his voice is a squeaky breath.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I looked at his chest and crotch, but he was wearing clothes, Mr. Dragonet. At least he has no breasts. He looks more human than Lizardman, and I have no problem judging from his low voice.

　Myspheres only appear in our world at night under the moonlight, but their numbers have been drastically reduced due to overhunting because of their pelts. It is said that the number of Mistyphs has been decreasing dramatically because of their pelts. It was especially bad long ago when Princess Beauty, who had made her name known all over the continent, announced that she would become the wife of whoever spread Mistyph pelts in their bedchamber, and was hunted down by those who wanted the princess herself, those who wanted the throne, and those who wanted Mistyph pelts by copying her. --Just when the white was on the rampage.

　Of course, nowadays, Mistyhu pelts are extremely expensive.

Mysphets are usually brown, with only white or black on their chest, belly, tail, and the tips of their arms and legs.

　There was a girl with magnificent golden curls that reached to her knees and golden eyes. She was equipped with feathers. I think it was something bigger than that, judging from the wind pressure, but it was a girl who seemed to have a big tone, but not as big as my chest.

　I've never met gods or Bahamut, so I'm not afraid of them. I also realized when I met Verus that the gods must have suppressed their divine energy to a great extent.

　And now I am sitting in the bed of Paltin the Golden Dragon, drinking tea and waiting for the time to summon White again. Mr. Dragonut remains where he is, picking raspberries on Paltin's order, watching the Mysphean's place for any offenders. He has a digger, but no pickers. is the fruit of this meeting (?). I'll pick again when I'm done, as I'm sure the parts I've already picked will be restored.

　Life is life. The dragon that grants life to a dragon does not give life so casually, because to give life to a dragon is to weaken itself unless it replenishes its power, and it is rare for a dragonet to be granted life even if it longs for the dragon and desires its power.

　It is said that Dragonut is a race that long ago mixed the blood of dragons with that of demons or humans, and that it has a strong yearning for dragons, almost worshiping them, and a desire to renounce its mixed blood and become a dragon itself again. I read about this in a book ....... Is this one of the ways to return to dragons?

If I keep this up, my dream is going to come true in about two more molts," said Mr. Dragonut happily, though I couldn't make out his expression, his voice sounded happy. The structure of his face is so different from ours that we cannot read the small changes in his facial expression unless he gives us a very big reaction.

Paltin is fidgeting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is said to be a fluffy ski, but he is a poor dragon who has a dilemma because of his strong metallic nature and is aware that he does not have a good influence on spirit beasts, so he cannot come close to them.

　South of the mountain range where Paltin is usually found, the Barron side has fewer trees and more rocky terrain. Instead, mineral resources are said to be abundant, and dragons with strong attributes and powerful spirits influence even the climate and terrain with their attributes.

　After listening to Paltin's story and talking about the effects of the title of "feeder," I serve him some food, and in return he shares some of the dragon ore in his bedchamber, it's time to re-summon the mystiff, so we move on to the mystiff's habitat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He had moved all the way to the sleeping quarters because Paltin did not want to disturb the environment by staying in the habitat for too long for the aforementioned reason. Incidentally, when Paltin returned to his dragon form, he grabbed me by the eagle and carried me away.
