“Sheesh, those guys… it’s almost like they don’t listen to what I’m saying at all . ”

Ariante, who finally managed to slip out from the festival’s crowd, was outside the town, whistling while going to meet up with her favourite horse . Even though she said the real Lady Saintess, totally separate from her, played an active role in the events, everyone seemed to not hear her . Actually, she felt the bunch of adventurers heard her, but deliberately blocked their ears . They probably just wanted all the glory directed at her, thinking they might get a piece of it .

Be that as it may, she wondered what the trigger to her escape―― what that mysterious object which came flying from the sky was . That flying object wrecked the festival stage like a meteorite and created an opening for Ariante to escape . It didn’t come across as evil and there didn’t seem to be any injured, but still, considering the strangeness of the situation she was slightly worried . In the end, she decided that even if something happened, it should be fine with all the adventurers gathered there . Setting aside their character, their skills were all right .

“… So, why are you following me?”

Riding on her favourite horse, she looked up at the skies . There was the figure of the silver dragon with his wings covering the sky .

“It’s not ‘you’ . Call me Doradora . ”

“Just what made you become so servile? No matter how I look at you, you don’t seem like the adorable type . ”

“That so, you want to know . The reason why I call myself as Doradora…”

Ariante ordered the horse to quicken the pace . Not wanting to lose, the self-proclaimed Doradora also sped up his flight . At the speed that the wind felt like a wall, the silver dragon started flying within inches to the surface .

“I was defeated by that girl . Thoroughly, at that . Naturally, even I’ve known defeat before . However, it was the first time―― losing so utterly to such a young child, with no ability to resist at all . ”

“s.h.i.+t, he started chattering even though I don’t care . Oi, run faster and shake him off . ”

The horse sent a resigned look, as if he was saying “Racing against a dragon is a little…” . Ariante believed that it was possible to cross the barrier of human and horse relations.h.i.+p and communicate with a long-time partner of hers, at least to some extent .

“And then I was branded as Doradora . My feelings of that time are… an embodiment of disgrace . I, Dragon of the Fierce Winds, was denounced like a harmless pet, stuck with an indifferent, ill-natured nickname . Moreover, I haven’t felt any significant malice from her . Most likely, I was to her a being not even worthy of sarcasm or spite . ”

“Stop lamenting just because of that . After all, there’s a more miserable dragon in this world . ”

“I see… Was that dragon also done in by her?”

“In some sense, yes . ”

“So he’s the same as me, huh . Somehow, I can’t think of it as someone else’s problem . ”

Gliding through the air, Doradora closed his eyes in a silent prayer . And then he abruptly opened them,
