VOLUME 2 CHAPTER 8: Dragon-san Is Encouraged to Work

In h terrain and letso, I was surrounded by the signs of the ons that were scattered all over the world

It was a ons held once every ten years

I raiseover thepauses for a ave a permission like that was incredible in and out of itself, but when I gave lares directed at me

Well, it's not like I couldn't really understand where they were all coe inforion for a dozen of years now, and I didn't moved from it all that much, but at the same time I didn't slack off with my responsibilities

Besides, it's not like I could allow ion like that

Inup working schedules and planningon short vacations!

I was doing my job properly, but for others it surelyto the reports of other dragons, I was reassured that est results

It was like that for decades, though

Then, after everyone finished with their reports, the presiding dragon spoke up to everyone

Just like that, everyone's consciousness became tense

We all took it hard, that one of us fellow dragons passed away

Dragons can live up to more or less five thousand years

You can continue to travel, stay in one place, or become one with the world ------ until you happen onto the point of no return

Passing away, at least for us dragons, is like so between death and a deep slumber

You basically lose your consciousness and your sense of self basically disappears

I try to think about it in a cal like that happening to a dragon before

Well, it's not that I don't understand, but see, the problem is ------

It means that my ould increase by such aon that was born after I came to this world

In other words, it is Aru

The dragon that recently passed away left no one behind who could continue to due his work for hi to turn away from my responsibilities, I would be forced to do the aons, how hard do you think that is!

That's right -- That is exactly right!

I nodded on only stared at me in silence, ready to take their share of the job

It is precisely because of that that I know that it is going to be tough

Uuh, geez, with that, the situation can only go more and more south from here

I a my job properly and I have Nectar at my side to help me

So for a fight

Not to h terrain, so it is rather hard to disturb the flow of ion once it has been restored

That's right, that is exactly it!

My words seeathered a whole lot of attention

Ions present

I took out such knowledge froons and presented it to everyone, to which a strange silence befell theweird?

For a while, none of the dragons wanted to answer estion so I just kind of stood there all eon said to an to disappear

Umm, in other words, for noe shall not ask others for help since we don't have enough information?

…… I don't mind the leisure, but for the sake of leylines stability we could get in contact with the like that, I was preparing to take my leave when I noticed that a certain consciousness was drawing closer to raceful presence appeared in front of on senpai who knew me from the time I came to know Nectar I wonder what he wants?

I return the greeting, and feel as if senpai frowned

I smiled bitterly as I replied in a sarcastic way for his evident lack of flexibility

While there were dragons out there that were far fro sympathetic towards me, there were also those ere nice to me I was in contact with those ones

Or rather, they were the ones to whom I reported when Aru was born

At first I hadto harass ht and I wasn't rejected by theo to school! Yeah, at least I think it was hion's perspective, I came in a very close contact with a human, but it's not like I wanted to talk about it here, where everyone could listen freely

For a ht,

Although it didn't see bad by that, I kind of felt as if he wasfun of me

Ouch, touchy subject! He found a touchy subject!

I don't want to talk about it, so it would really help ht now

I was surprised that he gave me an answer so swiftly, and so spot on, at that

…… Uh? Did I got too enthusiastic over there?

With that, Senpai's consciousness went away, and I also returned to h we just talked he had no real reason to go and talk towas over So why……

…… Eh? Maybe, on-senpai who is so hugely forht!?

It took me some time to realize that, and when I did I started to treht besidein the center of the slowly fading reen staff in hand A true Sage, with his fair hair with crimson tips

「How are you, Lava?」

「Yeah, there were so, but the overall conservation is proceeding smoothly as usual What about you, Nectar?」

「I wasthe medicine back at the shop, but decided to have a lunch break, that's why I came」

「Oh, so it's that part of the day already, huh?」

I look over the mountains to see the position of the sun Also, while at it, I stretch and move my body, which has been immobile for quite some time now

It sure feels nice to be able to move just like that

I walked over to where Nectar was sitting and I sat down on the ground as well

Since I already did ic around here, I could also sit down and relax for a little while

Right now Nectar was a dey to sustain his body

Although you technically could incorporatemeals like any normal huic you would gain is si along with ical power he needed in natural places of high ical concentration like this one

Since the ah and pretty stable, it was a perfect meal for spirits But I also liked it because we could just stay together and enjoy the co else like that

I also like to feel Nectar's body resting right next to my own body

When we are with Aru it is fun as well, but when are just the two of us, it is a whole different kind of fun

「Would you like to practice your Dwarfish after that?」

「H watch on the spell, but just in case for now I should avoid entering their territory as much as possible」

「I see」

「In the first place, this whole thing was basically my fault, since I didn't realize that there was a dwarvish village in the vicinity Besides, it take a whole three days to reach the there!」
