Chapter 21 - The Official Circumstances that will Shake the World (2) (1/2)

TN: Happy New Years! Enjoy the chapter.

“… So, can you not recognize the existence of a dragon that created a treasure of such immense value”

I wonder why I’m so helpless.

Random thoughts started swirling around my head, and I felt nauseous with these thoughts.

Officer Doggy looked at me with an ambiguous gaze that could be either sympathetic or sorrowful.

“As for me and the chief, we don’t think so. This is a real story, but I don’t think you can believe it.”

In this small rural town, those people who kept watch for the existence of the dragon are moving out in full force. I see, that’s what we as civilians, can not deal with. However…

“To be honest, only the chief, officer Inoue, and the four police officers who came to help and I know the specific details regarding yesterday’s incident. Dragoline-san hasn’t been exposed to the prefectural police, mayor and governor yet. ”

Why?

“Because Dragoline-san will be used.”

“Used?”

Her?

“That’s right, take this town for example, there are not enough tourist attractions even with Tusk Crag and the hot-spring district nearby, so if the existence of a dragon comes to light, even those greedy human beings will spend money and become precious tourists. As for this country, an organism that produces resources worth hundreds of millions of yen, and a long-lived tribe, if they caught it, they would have inexhaustible finances. It wouldn’t be strange for them to think like that.”

“That’s!!”

I raised my voice without thinking.

What is this, I definitely can’t put up with it.

A mere day. That’s the extent of our relationship. It was very short.

Even so, the eyes Aoi looked at Jaja with was very gentle.

That finger that touched Nana was very gentle.

“But they can’t go anywhere …!”

“… Kazamachi-kun”

I didn’t notice, but I was crying.

It’s been too long, I’ve forgotten the sensation of tears.

Even though I decided not to cry since my mother’s funeral.
