"So that's why," I told Kalin about the white dragon.

"A dragon. They're almost legendary. If it really is a dragon, wouldn't it be the first one discovered in hundreds of years?"

　Karin looks surprised.

"I guess so. Well, we don't know for sure yet. But I've had the feeling since I rescued her that she's quite intelligent. I think there's a pretty good chance it's a dragon."

"Hmm. But just because he rejected a grass brick based on its smell doesn't mean he's intelligent."

"That's just an example. I mean, I don't really understand why people are so averse to that portable food. Well, I'll leave it at that, and I'll look into the intelligence in more detail from now on," I reply with a wry smile.

"And you've already decided what you're going to do about it, haven't you Rust?"

"Yeah, I thought about sending him back to the wild, but if he really is a dragon, he should be able to make a deal."

"That was hundreds of years ago, right? It's just a fairy tale, isn't it?

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

"I believe that fairy tales and folktales contain truth. I'm going to take every precaution to make sure that whatever we do, we do it right.

"Okay. I'll allow it."

"Thank you! I'm sure Karin would agree with me.

"But!" She sticks her finger in the air and says, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

"I'll be there. Make sure you call her."

"Yes, sir. ...... karene, you're just here for the fun of it, aren't you?"

Yes. What's wrong?" I said, "Ha-ha-ha," and Kalin laughed like a man.

　Well, Kalin was always a guy who liked this kind of thing.

　With these thoughts in mind, I exited Kalin's tent and began to get ready.

　I was ready to go.

"So, why are Roa and Ary there again?"

　Finally, when all the preparations were finished, he contacted Kalin.

　Kalene showed up to witness the event, and the two of them were behind her.

Roa answers shortly with the word "guard.

　His eyes were sharply fixed on the white dragon. The spear in his hand twitches.

　─ Come to think of it, Roa has been an enemy of mine since the first time we met. Maybe he doesn't like lizards.

"Loa, don't do this. There shouldn't be a problem. I'm sorry, Master Rust," Ary apologizes.

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

　I wave to Ary and tell him I don't care.

　Behind Ary's single pair of glasses, I can't see the sparkle of magical elements in his eyes.

　It seems that the magic eye of future vision has not been activated. I breathe out a sigh of relief, knowing that there is a good chance that we will not have to fight with the white dragon.

"I understand. But you two, Roa and Ahri, stay behind Hippopo," I point to Hippopo who is sitting in the tent with his legs folded. Hippopo looks a little cramped in the tidy, empty tent.

"Yeah, just the two of you? Am I good?" Kalene asked with a smirk.

"I think you are the sturdiest of them all, don't you, Kalene?" I say as I bow.

Karin laughs and says, "I bet.

　Roa and Ahri looked at us curiously as we exchanged jokes.

"So, Master Rust, how do you make a contract? Alchemy, after all?" Ary asked when the conversation was interrupted.

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

"No, if the boy is really a dragon, half-baked alchemy should be repulsive. However, if the power is stronger than that, I don't think she'll be safe, do you?

"Well, what are you going to do then?" Ary looks at him curiously.

"How much do you know about primordial magic, Ary?"

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

"I don't know much about it. I only know that it is a life-related, blood-mediated thing.

"I don't know much about it either, but I happen to have a senior colleague who studies that lineage," I tell him as I hold up a scroll containing a transcription of a paper from the basic research section.

"The more I looked into it, the more I found that there seemed to be a connection between the famous anecdote about a man and a dragon several hundred years ago and primitive magic. The primordial magic itself is the dragon's..."

"Yes, stop!" Karine interrupts.

"That's enough, Rust. "That's enough, Ary. We've got a long story ahead of us."

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

"Oh, I see. Ary glanced at me and added, "No, but you seemed very interested.

　I shrug my shoulders and turn to Rose.

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

"Shall we begin then? Rose, please."

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

　In response to my request, Rose's ivy covers the entrance to the tent, wall by wall.

　I made sure of this and slowly walked over to the white dragon's cage.
