Having turned into a white dragon, I look down at him from a high place.
“A dragon. . . .!? That too. . . . Wah, it’s not a wyvern!?”
Surprised, he tightened his expression as soon as he realized.
“Huh!? Where the hell did you come from!? No way. . . is it teleportation!? Harbiston, come on!”
But his wyvern doesn’t respond to the call.
It just tilts it’s head strangely.
“. . .Gyua?”
“What’s wrong Harbiston! Come over here!”
He called out again, but there was still no response.
Rather, the wyvern yelled at me, “Gya-Gya-a!”
I was staring at their exchanges, and the cry brought me back to consciousness.
“Gia! Gia!”
“Guru . . .(Ah, don’t rush. . .)”
And , anyway, I have to feed him. . .
That?
Is there a mistake in the priority?
Well, it’s okay.
With the tip of my claw, I take the fish out of the basket and feed it to Harbiston.
“Gyuo! Gyua!”
“Gurua (I know)”
He was still standing in a hunched over position, staring at us as if looking at something incomprehensible.
A little time has passed.
He has already regained his composure.
“. . . I just remembered. . . Are you the white dragon I saw just before I lost consciousness?”
He began to convince himself on his own.
It seems that they won’t run away or stand up against me for the time being.
I feel relieved and gently stroked my chest.
“. . . then . . . . . a hallucination. . . it wasn’t. . .”
At the same time as he muttered, his knee collapsed.
He fell down on one knee on the spot.
“Gu, guru? (Are you okay?)”
He holds his forehead with his right palm.
I wonder if he started feeling dizzy?
But it’s not unreasonable.
Because this person has been unconscious for days and only just woke up.
“Gyurua! (Now, go back to bed!)”
I extend my fingers to pick him up.
But before the tip of the claw arrived, he fell flat.
“Gu, gurii!? (Wait, wait!?)”
Are you okay?
I tried to poke him, but there was no reaction.
I seems that he fainted.
After confirming that, I removed the dragon form.
“. . . . .Ah!? Whah!?”
I was naked.
“No, no! Clothes! But he comes first. . .”
I look around restlessly.
I know there’s no one around, but I’m embarrassed to be naked, so I do it without thinking.
Anyway, I quickly picked him up, laid him down on the bed, and dressed in grass and vines.
The next morning.
I saw him wake up again from the window of the house.
He noticed me looking inside in the form of a white dragon.
His shoulders startled.
It seems I surprised him.
I’m sorry.
“. . . Guru, Ruwaa (. . . I’ve prepared food there)”
I pointed to the table with a claw.
I made a fish soup.
He’s sick so the taste is diluted.
Unfortunately, it’s a river fish, so I couldn’t get a good soup stock, but. . .
“. . . is this. . . soup. . .?”
He noticed the food on the table.
So, it seems that he just now realized that he is hungry.
He stares at the soup.
“Gori. Graa (Please eat it. It’s cold, though.)”
He looked at me.
From my eyes and gestures, I feel like I’m having a conversation with him.
It feels strange.
“. . . is it okay to eat?”
I nodded repeatedly.
Then he got out of bed and started slurping soup.
“. . . . Delicious.”
After muttering that, he silently drank the soup.
A few days passed.
His health is also steadily improving.
Along with the wyvern, he also has a strong appetite.
I catch fish for him.
Then he skillfully cooks and eats it with the knife he originally had.
It seems that battlefield cuisine is a favorite of knights.
He let me eat the food he made.
The seasoning was salty and strong, but it was quite delicious.
I heated the bath.
Lift the rock bathtub as it is and fly to the stream.
After returning and warming it with my breath, I recommended him to take a bath.
Then he says a few words and enters the bath.
In the meantime, I’m going to look for a tree of something.
I feel bad and don’t peek at his bath.
If he hadn’t gotten out of the bath yet when I returned after collecting nuts, I would catch a glimpse of him with a sideways glance.
That’s why speed is always the key to collecting nuts.
One such day.
“. . . Gurui? (. . . What’s wrong?)”
I noticed he was wearing knight’s armor.
“. . . Thank you for taking care of me.”
“. . . .Gyuru!? Gu, Guru!? ( . . . . Huh!? So, are you going to leave!?)”
Why so suddenly!?
Even though you’re in good shape, you haven’t fully recovered yet!
“I’m thinking of going back to the kingdom. . .”
“Gu, gura! Guru!? (No, no! First, how are you going to go home!?)”
Even Harbiston hasn’t fully recovered yet.
It’s not very bad, but it’s not in a state where he can fly in the sky carrying a person.
“Gyururi. . .! (Until you recover properly. . .!)”
“Listen to me, White Dragon.”
He looked up at me.
He starts talking slowly.
“There were originally humans living here, right? That was just a little while ago before I regained consciousness.”
I listen to his words.
You’re right.
A human known as “me” has been living here for a long time.
“I’m sure the owner of that house treated my wound and prepared that meal for me, didn’t they?”
I nodded strongly.
“That’s why I waited so long to say thank you to that person. . . But no matter how much I waited, the owner of the house never showed up.”
No, I’ve been here for a long time.
Even now, in front of you.
“. . . Perhaps there’s a reason why they can’t appear in front of me. That’s why they can’t come back home while I’m here.”
“. . . guru? (. . .huh?)”
That’s why, I’m here all the time.
I think he’s misunderstanding something. . .
“I can’t afford to be a burden to my benefactor. . . . That’s why I decided to leave here today. I’ll get out of here, White Dragon.”
“Gyuryuu! Giraa! (Wait! That’s a misunderstanding!)”
Somehow I managed to calm him down.
Then he reluctantly decided to stay for one more night.
I do my best to think.
What should I do. . .
At this rate, he will leave.
(Oh, no, no!)
When I shook my head, an idea flashed in my mind.
All it takes is a human being, right?
I have an idea for a child who I seem to be able to ask for something like this.
If you have an idea, do it immediately.
I flapped my wings and flew towards the village.
She will have to show him her human form eventually… won’t she?
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thankyou for reading!
