Chapter 916: Dragon Carnival ③ (1/2)

After a brief chat, Frea-san nodded once before going down to the real issue at hand.

[……Now then, I'll now take you to the site, and I will carry you there. However, I can't speak normally in my dragon form, so if you have any questions, I'll ask them now.]

[No, I don't have any questions……]

Glancing at Lilia-san as I said this, she only shook her head, saying she had no questions. Seeing this, Frea-san nodded once before uncrossing her arms.

[Well then, we'll depart now. You can ride on my back.]

At the same time as I said this, Frea-san's body seemed to glow and she turned into her dragon form. Her scales as red as flames, scars could be seen showing that she had fought many battles, and her arms had become one with her wings.

Except for the color, she looked like a larger version of the wyverns I've seen before, but she had a different level of power and the aura of a powerful person.

As I felt overwhelmed, feeling as if I could see flames burning behind her, I suddenly heard Frea-san's voice echoing in my head.

(If it's just the two of them, it should be a problem for my size.)

[Ahh, that's right. If it's just Lilia-san and I, we can ride behind your back.]

(……Mhmm? My comrade, you…… understood what I said?)

[Eh? Errr, your voice resounded in my head…… so isn't it that you were talking to me through telepathy?]

For some reason, Frea-san sounded confused, so tilting my head, I turned towards Lilia-san, who only shook her head in response.

It seems that I'm the only one who can hear Frea-san's voice right now, and Lilia-san can't. And from the way Frea-san reacted, it doesn't seem like she's talking directly into my mind like Shiro-san did.

(……As of now, I'm speaking through a magic wavelength. If I had to describe it, it's a means of communication that many dragons and monsters use.)

[If that's what I had been hearing, could it be because of my Sympathy Magic?]

(No, you can certainly hear it…… The magic wavelength…… but you can ”recognize it as a language”, can't you? If you only perceive it with your magic, you would have only perceived it as magic power. Since you recognize it as a language, I think there's some other power you have that's in effect here.)

[……Other power…… Shiro-san's Blessing, perhaps?]

Even if I read it with my Sympathy Magic, since I'm neither a dragon or a monster, I shouldn't have been able to recognize it as a language and only hear it exactly as magic wavelengths.
