Chapter 69: 69

Under the clear, refreshing skies, in preparations for the Sacred Tree Festival that we’re heading to now, we are now standing before a large gondola and two white dragons .

For us to arrive in the Elven Forest, we’re going to ride these flying dragons, or rather, as if we’re riding a flying carriage, the gondola is made of those levistones that kind of looks like those crystals you see in a certain castle in the sky . It seems that when you put magic power in the gondola, it would be able to float, while the two dragons would pull it .

(T/N: Here’s an image of a gondola, I think the ship they’re riding is larger though . )

It is said that these dragons called “White Dragons” are one of the fastest among the flying dragons, and with them pulling the gondola, we would arrive in the Elven Forest in just a few hours .

That’s why their fares are quite high, and more importantly, the White Dragon’s services are very popular among the nobles, and Lunamaria-san seems to have had a lot of trouble arranging their services .

When Lilia-san and the others were discussing the route, Kusunoki-san, Yuzuki-san, and I were only looking at the white dragons .

I’ve seen that flying dragon that Neun-san hunted before, but this white dragon is larger than that, with a 7-meter body and beautiful snow-white scales .

It seems that it’s classified as a monster, but it doesn’t seem to be hostile towards us, probably because it’s already used to humans…… Well, he’s not like my pet dog back then who would become emotional by the sight of people, they’re just ignoring us like we’re people they shouldn’t be concerned with……

I had the impression that girls wouldn’t be good with reptiles, but as long as they look cool, it doesn’t seem to be a problem, as Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san approached the white dragons and tried to touch it, but the white dragons were completely unresponsive .

I was watching them from a distance, when I spotted a small dragon less than a meter in length glancing at me from behind the two dragons .

Could it be the child of the white dragons? I don’t know if it’s because it’s still not very used to humans or not, but it was hiding in the back of its parents while looking at us with vigilance .

It seems like Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san seem to be too absorbed in the other white dragons to notice it .

[Fruuuuuuhhh!]

[…………… . . ]

When I took a step closer, I was met with a tremendously hostile look .

She kinda looks like an afraid dog, threatening to bite me if I continue to get closer .

That’s when I suddenly remembered my conversation with Kuro, about how she said that my Sympathy Magic can help me interact with beings that can’t speak .

Since an opportunity appeared, I guess this is a good time to try it out .

Thinking so, I tried releasing friendly emotions as much as possible…… imbuing my intentions to be friends with her inside my magic power and released it to the baby dragon with my Sympathy Magic .

[Kyuu?]

Then, the baby dragon tilted her head and cried once, and she began staring at me .

As it seems like she still feels fear, I released my Sympathy Magic with friendly emotions again .

After repeating that a few times, it seems like the baby dragon became interested, as she began coming closer to me, fluttering her little wings .

[Kyuuk, kyyuuiii . Kyuukyuuii?]

[Don’t worry . I’m not going to hurt you . ]

Smiling at the chirping baby dragon, I slowly held out my hand .

The baby dragon shrank back in fear at first, but after sensing my friendly emotions, when my outstretched hand touched her paws, instead of running away, she began letting guard little by little .

Once she dropped its guard, like a child, the baby dragon quickly became emotionally attached, meekly letting me pet her .

I was expecting her skin to be tough because of her scales, but it seems like as a child, her skin is still surprisingly soft . It’s not quite as soft as a mochi, but it’s about as soft as rubber and comfortable to touch .

(T/N: mochi/rice cake)

[Kyuuukk~~]

Seeing the little dragon purr as if she was comfortable being petted…… looks kinda cute . I thought dragons would just be something like a big lizard, but this white dragon seriously looks as cute as a kitten .

Putting my hand away from her head, I tried holding the baby dragon with both of my hands, and the baby dragon no longer resisted, meekly holding within my embrace .

[Kyuukyuuii! Kyuukuruuu!]

[Ahaha . ]

The little dragon pressed and rubbed her head against my chest .

The way she’s acting like a spoiled child looked really cute, and a smile appeared on my face as I felt ticklish from her touch .

Thereupon, the baby dragon looked like she’s having fun, as it used her little paws to climb up my clothes .

[Unnn?]

[Kyuu, kyuu, kyuu . ]

The sharp claws on her paws are a little scary, but they don’t really make any holes on my clothes because the materials used in it is good, and as the little dragon cried out while climbing up my body, when she reached my right shoulder, it looks like she’s satisfied, lying down on my shoulder…… It’s quite heavy .

[Kyuuukuu~~]

As the little dragon began to relax on my shoulder, it seemed like Lilia-san and the others finished talking, and when the Flying Dragon Service’s driver turned towards us, she spoke .

[Ah, that’s right, I forgot to mention it, so that it could remember the route that we will be going through today, I brought the child of these two white dragons . She’s still not accustomed to humans and it’s dangerous, so I ask you to stay…… away from…… her?]

[……Errr . ]

[Kyuuii?]

The female driver’s eyes widened when she turned towards me and saw the little dragon on my shoulder .

[N- No way… H- How in the world did you…… That little dragon isn’t even emotionally attached to me yet……]

[Ummm, please don’t mind it . That guy is just, errr, a special case……]

[So you’ve finally reached your claws to monsters…… Miyama-sama, you really are……]

Along with the dumbfounded driver, Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san looked amazed as they looked towards me .

Although it’s thanks to my Sympathy Magic, it seems that a baby dragon normally wouldn’t get emotionally attached to someone quickly .

[Wow~~ It looks cute . Let me hold it too……]

[Fruuuuuuhhh!!!]

[Hyiiihhh!?]

The proof of this is that although this baby dragon is emotionally attached to me, she let out a low growl and threatened whenever Yuzuki-san tries to touch it .

[Don’t worry, she won’t hurt you either . ]

[Kyuuii?]

[Yeah, that’s right . That’s why, you don’t have to snarl at her . ]

[Kyuu…… Kyuuku, kyuuii!]

When I explained that Yuzuki-san wouldn’t hurt her either, the baby dragon tilted her head for a while, before it nodded her head in understanding .

It seems that she understands, as her feelings of hostility towards Yuzuki-san have eased .

[Yuzuki-san, it’s alright to touch it now . ]

[Eh? Ah, yes……]

[Kyuu!]

[Fwaahhh, it’s so soft…… this child is so cute!]

Upon receiving my words, Yuzuki-san reached out again, and the baby dragon didn’t growl this time, meekly letting Yuzuki-san pet it .

Seeing the situation, the female driver’s mouth opened wide, looking stunned for a while, and then she approached me .

[You were from another world, right?]

[Ah, yes . What’s the matter?]

[……If you ever decide that you won’t return to your world and remain in our world, please contact me . We promise to hire you on favorable terms!]

[……Huh?]

[You have a really great talent! If you can tame a flying dragon this quickly, you can even become the best flying dragon driver in the world!]

[H- Huh……]

With some excitement, the woman begins to explain how difficult it is to tame a flying dragon .

When I looked at Lilia-san and the others, asking for help after feeling a little pressured from her excitement, Lilia-san and the others just looked at me with a wry smile on their faces, as if they’ve completely given up .

Dear Mom, Dad—— Meeting the white dragons of the Flying Dragon Service, a baby dragon became emotionally attached to me . What’s more, with frightening excitement—– I was scouted .
