TN: Happy New Years! Enjoy the chapter.
“… So, can you not recognize the existence of a dragon that created a treasure of such immense value”
I wonder why I’m so helpless.
Random thoughts started swirling around my head, and I felt nauseous with these thoughts.
Officer Doggy looked at me with an ambiguous gaze that could be either sympathetic or sorrowful.
“As for me and the chief, we don’t think so. This is a real story, but I don’t think you can believe it.”
In this small rural town, those people who kept watch for the existence of the dragon are moving out in full force. I see, that’s what we as civilians, can not deal with. However…
“To be honest, only the chief, officer Inoue, and the four police officers who came to help and I know the specific details regarding yesterday’s incident. Dragoline-san hasn’t been exposed to the prefectural police, mayor and governor yet. ”
Why?
“Because Dragoline-san will be used.”
“Used?”
Her?
“That’s right, take this town for example, there are not enough tourist attractions even with Tusk Crag and the hot-spring district nearby, so if the existence of a dragon comes to light, even those greedy human beings will spend money and become precious tourists. As for this country, an organism that produces resources worth hundreds of millions of yen, and a long-lived tribe, if they caught it, they would have inexhaustible finances. It wouldn’t be strange for them to think like that.”
“That’s!!”
I raised my voice without thinking.
What is this, I definitely can’t put up with it.
A mere day. That’s the extent of our relationship. It was very short.
Even so, the eyes Aoi looked at Jaja with was very gentle.
That finger that touched Nana was very gentle.
“But they can’t go anywhere …!”
“… Kazamachi-kun”
I didn’t notice, but I was crying.
It’s been too long, I’ve forgotten the sensation of tears.
Even though I decided not to cry since my mother’s funeral.
“They cry during the night, Jaja and Nana. Aoi named them! Jaja cries frequently! She cries with a louder voice than her younger sister! Nana is a quiet child, but she still gets surprised and hungry, and she calls Aoi properly! Even though she only laughs once in a while, her laugh is extremely cute! Jaja’s laugh is just as cute! Aoi looks so happy when she sees them! She… they … ”
Things like not being allowed to live normally, that’s…
Because I will surely have to look at what I can not prevent.
That one day was a rich day, just in a mere day…
I saw from the sidelines, them doing their best to live.
“Yes, that’s why the dragons had to live in hiding.”
A voice came from on top of my head.
“42 years ago, when the two worlds collided, numerous people died, countless lives vanished in a blink of an eye, both humans and beastmen, demons and flora and fauna, as well as spirits and fairies.”
“albsama”
Officer Doggy looked up at the top of my head.
“Two worlds, with various different tribes, different cultures, even if the only thing you shared was common sense and the value of life, you guys have been able to mingle together up to this point in a short period of 40 years, it can be called nothing short of a miracle. But that miracle is working to get rid of the dragons. ”
Before I realized, Alba Germain was there.
“Too strong of a power became scary. Too long of a life garnered jealousy. Too high of a value created conflict. Do I hate them? Do I fear them? they can’t help but fear and hate the illness that is our greed, what do you guys think? ”
Alba Germain continued to speak.
“But they don’t think so, they are not hateful and not afraid, the dragons are kind, they are gentle. The strength of their maternal sense is also evidence. They believe that people are going crazy because they are nearby. I was not able to think up of another reply, that’s why I became a doctor. I made a promise to the progenitor dragon to confront the disease of the greed of the multiple tribes that threaten them.”
“But, then, they…”
He was on top of my head, so I could not see his figure.
But Alba Germain was probably smiling.
Talking pleasantly while getting on my nerves by reacting exaggeratedly.
“Oh my, the father of the twins, you’re very awkward, it’s kind of painful to look at, that gentle awkwardness.”
My head was repeatedly poked with a staff.
It did not hurt, but it strangely resonates with my head.
“That kind awkwardness is history’s first dragon father, I am glad.”
The last place that was poked was somehow very ticklish.
