Chapter 917: Dragon Carnival ④ (1/2)

After a short flight on Frea-san's back, the venue soon came into view. Rather, it would be more accurate to say that I saw many dragons flying in the sky.

Looking closely, I can see that there are quite a few dragons on the ground as well, and they're gathered in a vast area of open wilderness and various mountains.

[……T- That's quite a lot of dragons, isn't it?]

[Yes, they also have quite a variety. There are lots of Dread Tails, High Metal Dragons, and even Ancient Dragons that were rarely seen…… I'm really moved!]

Lilia-san seemed to be extremely happy, or rather, her eyes were glittering so much that it's as if she was looking at a treasure trove. I don't know much about dragons though, so I only thought about the discovery that there are many different kinds of dragons.

……Ahh, I found a dragon I know. That's a Gun Rock Dragon…… Unnn, personally looking at it, it really looked just like that sad creature I created. It's so similar that I can understand why Megiddo-san and the others misunderstood.

Just like Megiddo-san said, I think the name of that sad creature should be Winged Gun Rock Dragon……

As I was thinking about this, Frea-san lowered her altitude and landed in a corner of the open wilderness, so Lilia-san and I got off her back. Thereupon, Frea-san used Humanization Magic to become humanoid again.

I can communicate with her even in her dragon form, but Lilia-san couldn't, so I guess she's taking her into consideration.

[Fumu…… The other members of the Four Great Demon Dragons…… It seems like only Fafnir has arrived. It seems like we got here a little too early.]

Hearing Frea-san's words, I looked around and there certainly weren't dragons that had fit the description Lilia-san told me earlier. Both Eingana-san and Grandiereus-san are huge, over a kilometer in length, so if they were here, we would have known immediately.

I could see some rather large dragons around us, but as expected, I couldn't see any dragons that were over a kilometer in size.

Also, it seemed that Magnawell-san also hadn't arrived yet, but I guess it couldn't be helped. In fact, we came here much earlier than the event's starting time.

The purpose of our early arrival was to finish greeting Eingana-san and Grandiereus-san before the Dragon Carnival started.

It was a bit of a miscalculation that the two hadn't arrived yet though……

[However, they should be here soon. I'm sure neither of them would be so disrespectful as to arrive after Magnawell-san, and since they'll need to speak to their squad, I'm sure they'll be here early.]

[Yes. I'm in no particular hurry either, so if I'm unable to greet them, I can just do that afterwards.]

[Umu…… Well then, my apologies, but my comrade, Duchess Lilia, even though Eingana and Grandiereus have yet to arrive, would you mind if I joined with the Crimson Fang for a bit? I would also like to give a word to the younger members of the group.]

[Ah, yes. It's alright.]

[I also don't have any problem with that.]

Saying this, Lilia-san and I followed Frea-san and walked to the place where the Crimson Fang were gathered. While looking at the various dragons along the way, Looking at the various dragons along the way, I decided to ask her about something that I had been curious about.

[……Frea-san, are all of Magnawell-san's subordinates dragons?]

[No, that isn't the case. Magnawell-sama also had subordinates other than dragons…… However, in terms of percentage, dragons are overwhelmingly more numerous. About 60-70% should be dragons.]

[Fumu fumu.]

[……I could tell what my comrade wanted to ask. ”What about the rest of Dragon King's subordinates?”…… It's just that they had a different day scheduled for them. The Dragon Carnival is only for dragons, but young non-dragons will also have the opportunity to show off their skills before Magnawell-sama.]

Well, I suppose it's inevitable. If only the dragons had such an opportunity, there would definitely be complaints.

[Incidentally, some of the squad leaders leading the younger ones aren't dragons…… Speak of the devil.]

Hearing Frea-san's words, I moved my gaze and saw a tiger beastman-like being in front of us. Judging from the conversation earlier, she must be one of the squad leaders.

Seeing us……. or rather, seeing Frea-san, the tiger beastman gave a 90° bow.
