「*GYAAAAAAAA*」 (Red Dragons)

And so the two dragons fell.

「......What, with this much they’ve been knocked out? What a disappointment.」 (Izayoi)

The two dragons that landed the mountain wall fainted.

「You’re next.」 (Izayoi)

Comparing this dragon to the red dragons, this one was about double the size. Its skin was like black colored armor. It had an aura of intimidation in a different league compared to the monsters I’ve fought till now.

「*GAAAAAAAAA......*」 (Dragon)

With a breath similar to a voice, it had come down before me.

The ground shook, and I was. .h.i.t by a sudden gust.

Looking through the fingers I covered my face with, I confirmed the presence in front of me.

「What? You’re not going to attack?」 (Izayoi)

The dragon majestically stood there.

「......You, what are you, he says.」 (Tear)

(TN: The dragon uses 御主/おぬし/Onus.h.i.+, which is an archaic form of “you” that a samurai or an old guy would use.)

Before I knew it, Tear had come out.

Being able to translate what it’s saying, it’s probably something with high intellect like Rigolo.

「I’m just an adventurer. My objective here is to make you ser...... my friends.」 (Izayoi)

「......Just like you humans, you think you know your place, he says.」 (Tear)

「I see. Then pick. Stay silent and become our friend, or be half-killed and become our friend.」 (Izayoi)

「......How laughable. Just like you humans. Do you think that you can injure me, against my flesh of steel,　he says.」 (Tear)

「Don’t worry. My body is also as strong as steel.」 (Izayoi)

「......Very well. Then if you are able to leave a scratch on my body, try it. If you are able to do so, then I will listen to what you have to say. If you are unable to, then I will kill you, he says.」 (Tear)

「A scratch, is it? Got it.」 (Izayoi)

I moved close enough to the dragon’s large body so that I could touch it. The scales seem hard, don’t they. Let’s see which of our bodies is harder.

「......You aren’t planning to strike my body with your fist are you? Impossible. A futile struggle. Try it. Come, come try it～」 (Dragon)

Extending my index finger, stopping it with my thumb, I charged my strength.

I, with all of my strength, shot a forehead flick at the dragon.

*Crack*

(TN: The sound when something fragile starts to crack, like gla.s.s or ice.)

On the dark scales, a spider web shaped crack emerged.

「......There was no way you could injure me right～? My body～ My body～ Hurts, it hurts, he says.」 (Tear)

I felt pain in my fingers. In other words―

「―It’s just an ordinary wound isn’t it?」 (Izayoi)

I clenched my fist, and held it as if I were going to strike the dragon.

「*GAAAAAAaaaaa......*」 (Dragon)

「......I’ll become your friend, he says.」 (Tear)

「You should have said that from the beginning.」 (zayoi)

A part of the dragon’s scales had been crushed, and as he bled, his previous personality disappeared as he hung his head.

And like that, we were able to talk things out and build up a friends.h.i.+p.
