Chapter 109 – Greater Spirit, Kona (2)
Calia obediently welcomed our visit.
She said, “I thought you would come…」
Even saying that made my eyes go numb as if I was about to fall asleep, but that’s the same for all older dragons.
As if guessing the reason for our visit, the old dragon stared blankly at me.
“You must need my heart… ?」
“No. I want to sign a contract with a boy named Kona…”
“Okay.”
I nodded my head instead of my sister hesitantly talking about my business. ‘What are you doing?’ I ignored my older sister’s protesting gaze.
If you receive the Dragon Heart, which can be said to be his legacy, you will be able to conclude a contract with Kona.
My sister would prioritize a contract with a higher spirit, but on the contrary, Dragon Heart was more important to me.
“I won’t force you if you don’t like it.”
I thought the odds were half and half. No matter how much dragons say they don’t have much lingering feelings for their bodies, there’s no way they’d be willing to give it up to me, who is completely strangers.
But the old white dragon muttered calmly as if he had heard what he was about to hear.
“Okay… I guess… I never thought I’d meet someone I’d only heard of in my lifetime…」
Calia lets out her shallow breath. Despite the breath that its gigantic body exhaled, it was infinitely small and feeble.
“However… The meeting of you and me… , Big flow arrangements… That I received… Handil…」
“You mean you can’t do it with your bare mouth?”
The old dragon’s eyes were watery. It meant positive.
Understood. Because what I asked of him was none other than his dragon heart. I don’t live in the mountain range, and I’m not a dragon, so there’s no way there won’t be any conditions for me to receive the dragon heart left by the owner of the mountain range.
“There is a child I cherish like a child.”
The white dragon continued. Before I knew it, I must have taken off my sleep quite a bit, and my slumbering tone had returned.
Not his children, and he took pity on one hetzling that had grown up without parents. He was called Red. Calia’s explanation reminded me of the baby fire dragon that was eaten by Felgrion.
Calia smiled faintly as if she had noticed my thoughts.
“It’s a different kid. But he thought of him and got angry…」
Is it.
So who are the parents of Hetzling, who was eaten by Felgrion?
“I sent a message through the spiritual vein. I will come to pay you guys.”
I nodded. Somehow, I unintentionally gave them grace, but it wasn’t my intention, so there was no need to refuse to accept it.
“Anyway…」
The story, which had leaked elsewhere for a while, returned to its original subject.
To sum up Calia’s business, it was like this.
There is a red dragon hetzling who has lost his parents, whom he cherishes like a child, but he is red, hot-tempered, and has grown up without parents, so there is no adult dragon to catch him.
For Calia herself to step forward, it is difficult because her body will soon return to nature, which will eat away at her lifespan just by moving her body.
Although he wanted to entrust the role of guardian to the red dragon who had lost a child this time, he asked if he would give the hetzling a brief education before then.
To put it simply, I was asking him to correct his habit because he wasn’t cheap.
“So what?”
I’d rather have Iris check her skills and leave it to her.
“Yes? Hetzling education? I can’t do that!”
Next day. When I talk to Iris, who has woken up, she stretches out her arms and whistles in surprise. It was a stubborn expression that he couldn’t do it.
“Can not? Why?”
“Why? Of course…”
Iris, who was about to speak sullenly, opened her mouth. She really has no reason why she shouldn’t even think about it. Iris, who confidently opened her mouth, looked rather confused.
“Uh… ?”
“I’ve been up against an old dragon class right now, so what’s so difficult about asking me to fix my hackling habit?”
To my words, Iris also said, ‘I see… ?&Quot she tilted her head.
“Have you mastered it this time?”
“Yes…”
“I need to check my skills. A young fire dragon would be sufficient.”
Being suitable here doesn’t mean being an opponent in moderation.
It means a proper punching bag.
“Is it so? Mmm. I’ll try then!”
Like that.
“What are you guys?”
We met Hetzling, who looked at us ruthlessly.
“And. Hetzling is also very big.”
“Shall we do Polymorph?”
“Who are you?”
“No way. What is each polymorph?”
“Okay?”
Iris replied with a smile.
Once you get scolded, won’t you polymorph yourself?
Right.
“To the human subject!”
Of course, it was a conversation that everyone had to listen to, so the feverish baby dragon attacked Iris.
Looking at it, I guess I didn’t want to touch it. He was a quick-witted guy.
Kagagagak!
Instead of holding the holy sword, Iris deflected the Fire Dragon’s attack while holding the sword I brought from my family’s treasury.
She turned to me admiringly as she let off her attack neatly.
“I really like this sword! Can I just give you this?”
“I’m borrowing it.”
“Tooth.”
“You bastard—!!”
The baby dragon’s eyes turned upside down, as if he was angry that he had his back in front of him. I light the flames with my whole body, and inhale.
Swoop-!
It was the precursor to the breath.
The magic of blazing flames filled the dragon’s lungs. Before long, the young dragon, enraged at being ignored, was about to breathe out—.
Seven Swords of the Arcadia Empire.
The first sword (第一劍) Cloud Slash.
Chew!
Exactly, a slash that cuts diagonally from the dragon’s shoulder.
「Kwaaaaak!」
As if mocking the hard dragon’s scales, the terrifying blade cut through its skin so easily that the young dragon could not even breathe out and scattered the heat.
“Uh, huh? Sorry! Stop taking it lightly!”
Iris, who had done that, opened her eyes in surprise, and she was at a loss for what to do, worried about the baby dragon.
It’s nothing new.
+++++

+++++
Aside from the fact that her overall stats increased, Iris, who had become a master beyond her walls, was incomparable to her before that.
If a master with an average stat level of 50 and a non-master with an average stat level of 150 fight.
About 90 out of 100 will be crushed by the master.
So, no matter how heckling he was, he could handle that red dragon, a dragon, as if he were playing with it.
「Iiiiik… !!”
A young dragon struggled as if it had reached its peak in anger. Despite the pressure of her massive body, moving quickly, Iris gently deflected all of those attacks.
“It took too much energy.”
Or
“I don’t know because I’m not a dragon, but is that the way it should be?”
Or
Being in the teacher mode of always admonishing children, he was almost fooling around.
After realizing that her own level was different from the hatchling in front of her eyes, she didn’t even fight back, pointing out her opponent’s moves one by one.
But.
“If it were me, I wouldn’t have done that.”
… Something to say
Teaching dragons who are not mean, but the educator is not mean.
What is mirror therapy?
“Fuck… !”
Despite Iris’ provocation, she couldn’t land a single effective hit, so halfway through her eyes closed, the baby dragon finally managed to polymorph her.
Dig! The light went out, and a red-haired, mid-teenage girl lunged at Iris with her body on fire.
「Kuaaa—!」
Is it because it’s Hetzling?
Being a dragon, he does use magic, but maybe it’s because he’s still young, compared to his level of magic, his utilization is low.
Even hand-to-hand combat is not enough for Iris.
Even so, her ego is so strong that she doesn’t know how to give up and continues to fight.
Where else would there be a punching bag like this to check Iris’ skills?
“Why! Why! Why can’t you win!”
Iris, at some point, was seriously dealing with her baby dragon.
After all, what we were asked to do was to fix this dragon’s temper.
I, who was watching from behind, opened my mouth. It wouldn’t have been if it was a harmless provocation, but sincere words that pierce her heart would be difficult for Iris.
“You wonder why you can’t win?”
“What?!”
A young dragon that pounces on Iris and then turns to me.
I clicked my tongue. It was a proud, arrogant, and contemptuous face.
To be honest, I don’t want to do this. It was not a different race, but to kill the red dragon’s temper a little, it was necessary to smash its pride once.
I don’t know if I’ll take care of it after that.
“Now you have died once.”
“What is that—.”
Squeak.
Iris’s sword passed over the young dragon’s shoulder.
“Ugh!”
It was clear to anyone that he looked at her with her shoulder instead of her neck. The young dragon hurriedly turned to Iris again.
“Who said you could turn your eyes away at will?”
“What?”
Iris’s cold mouth opened.
She seemed to be immersed in the fact that she became the educator of the fire dragon before her eyes.
Seeing her determined appearance, she corrected what she thought would be difficult for Iris alone.
If that’s the case, I don’t think I’ll have to intervene.
Then, let Iris teach the fire dragon, and let’s go see if my sister and Kona are going well.
