115-the awakening of an old dragon





'It's a strange story. Why do you still keep such a vicious dragon?

 There is no creature in this world that is more expensive to keep than a dragon.
 In my time two hundred years ago, dragons that were no longer useful were quickly dismantled into pieces and sold to the market.

'That's the thing. Leo is apparently a great admirer of the other young dragons. We can't just dispose of them as easily as we can because they're useless. Dragons are much more delicate creatures than people think.

 I see.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

 In other words, this old dragon's power has not diminished.

 It's simply because he hides his power, not wanting to be used by humans.

''Hey. Are you awake?

 When he calls out and touches his body, Leonhardt opens his large eyes, which seem to be about the size of a human face.

 However.
 That eye light seemed to be clearly looking down on me.

 I see.
 It seems that this old dragon's 'misanthropy' is hardcore.

 Well, if you're dealing with senior students like the ones I met today, it's understandable that you would be suspicious of people.

 But this reaction is within my expectations.

 It was the same in the 200 years I was there.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

Follow me.

 When I commanded him by emitting 'just a little' magic power, the old dragon Leonhardt's body twitched and jumped up.

''Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!''

 Leonhardt, who roared loudly, seemed to have completely blown off his sleep.

 Hmm. I guess this was a little unexpected.
 Apparently the power this old dragon had hidden was more than what I had expected.

 The fighting spirit that Leonhardt emitted was no less than that of the rare and famous dragons I had encountered so far.

''Amazing! I've never seen Leo get so f*cked up in my life!

 The one who looked more surprised than anyone else at Leonhardt's changed state was Pepe the dragon master.

''Hey. Tell me. Who the hell is your husband? You've got Leo on your side in an instant, you're not just any man!



'...... separately. It's not much. I'm just a student.

Hey, hey. Don't be ridiculous. The only thing I'm confident about is my ability to see people and dragons!

 Oh, man. That's what I've been told.
 A sorcerer who had made a good name for himself by accompanying a brave party back in the days two hundred years ago, died after his reincarnation.

 At least now I'm really just a mere student.

''Well then, I'm going to borrow this dragon. I'll be back by nightfall.''

Yeah. Come on!

 I go through Pepe the Dragon Master's questions and then head over the fence to the exit of the dragon house hut.

 Hmph.
 It looks like we've lost a lot of ground on the people flying ahead of us.

 But, well, with this dragon's seriousness and strength, it will be able to catch up with them soon.
