Episode 16: "Blue Eyed Dragon" wants to be a pet

"Oh ... sage yo ... I've been waiting for you."

"No, wait, I don't know you."

At least it shouldn't be a long-waited relationship. If so, I would remember.

I mean, it's the first time I've seen such a big creature even counting my previous life.

"They call me the'blue-eyed dragon-. In ancient times, from the east to the west, It was natural for dragons to live with sages. "

"I don't know If I’ve use for a dragon, but I’m not that interested ..."

"If you subordinate me, you will surely be able to enjoy the mighty power of Sages."

Heh, mighty power, personally, I wish I to live happily without such power.

"No, it's a pet isn't it? It's a bit of a problem to be so big ..."

"Don't worry. I can make myself smaller so I don’t get in your way and can even hide myself."

The dragon became smaller and cute like a stuffed animal.

I've seen this somewhere.

"It’s like a baby dragon ...?"

"As expected danna! You seem familiar with it! My body has become smaller while maintaining my strength!"

Interestingly, it's tone is also cute.

The dragon became a baby dragon and sits on my shoulder.

"If you’re this size, it's fine. If you want to be a pet, I don't mind, but I have to get permission from Aleria. --- Aleria, I'm thinking of keeping a baby dragon, do you mind?"

I called out to Aleria, who was stunned nearby.

"Eh!? You’re asking me… !? I don't mind ..."

With the permission of Aleria, all conditions were met.

"Then I’m looking forward to working with you."

"Yeah, I'm glad! By the way danna."

"Hm?"

"I'm sorry I did something bad to danna’s friends."

"There's no problem with that, I and Aleria haven't been injured."

"Rather, it's the seven people there, right?"

The baby dragon turned to the seven heroes who were full of wounds.

"Oh, they’re not my friends so don't apologize."

"Is that so?"

"We’re acquainted, but rather than on good terms. It's rather bad."

"I see. Then it's dannas enemy. Should I kill them?"

The baby dragon looks at Fabrice.

The guy has a pretty scared figure and starts getting noisy ...

"Huh ... no, stop! I'll do anything! Yes, Matsuzaki Yuki, why don't you join the heroes? Hey I’ll even give you leadership of the hero party! It’s not bad right?"

"No, it isn’t that simple. When I was kicked out, do you remember what you said?"

——'If you're not a brave, don't get close to me anymore, small fry! I’m not the only one who thinks that, this is the consensus of the hero party!' Fabrice' words echo in my mind.

"In your own words, there is no reason to help the weak."

"I take it back! You're not weak at all! So help me, yeah, yeah !!!"

"You can’t easily undo what you’ve once said."

"... I really really think so! Ugh ... I don't want to die."

This guy is forever selfish ...

However, I can't tell who the bad guy is with this flow.

"You don't have to kill them for the time being. You're not the one who gets his hands dirty."

Fabrics gently strokes his chest, his complexion also improved.

"But don't get me wrong. If I want to kill you, I always can."

"Huh ... I know."

"One more condition. Declare it to the capital-no, the whole kingdom? Deny all the bad publicity that has spread about me. And apologize for doing something so outrageous."

"that’s……"

"You can't do it?"

"I want to, but there are various issues like the approval of the king ..."

"Oh, it’s either that. Or ..."

I glance at the baby dragon.

Fabrice' face turns deep blue.

"Okay! I'll do it! I'll definitely do something about this! So expect it!"

"You should have said that from the beginning."

I got his word, I don't know if he'll do it or not, but it's better to bet here than to kill.

If I kill a brave man, I'm likely to be branded a criminal. My present reputation is already bad due to the rumours and I'm at the bottom of society.

"Aleria, let’s return to the guild."

"What will the brave men do?"

"Leave it alone. Though they’re injured, someone will come eventually."

"understood!"

"Ah, danna"

"Hmm?"

"I want a name. Without a name, I can't be of help to danna!"

"A name huh ... since your a" Blue Eyed dragon ", Sui? No, I don’t have good naming sense. If you don't like it I can give another..."

"Sui ... a good name! Thank’s danna!"

"Well as Iong as your happy...."

After fulfilling 10 quests and collecting potion materials, Sui became my pet and I got a promise of vindication from the braves.

Isn't this a very fulfilling adventurer life?
