Chapter 125 (1/2)
Chapter 125
Eclair’s bodily condition has recovered so, we left the elf village of the Forest of Ash like ere being driven out
It was an event e dropped by a village to rest, on the way back to Wilton principality
「Are there dragonkin……in this village?」
「Umu, they reside by the river outside the forest」
「You’re well inforon……」
I assume they’re a precious existence
I wonder if bad people won’t force their way in on them?
「I suppose so, since they’ve resided here since long ago Furthermore they don’t have any power any a retired person with no value except around at the level of a living dictionary won’t happen Especially in this country」
「It’s that sort of thing is it」
Wil pot of humanity
A splendid country for which Kran’s lineage built the foundation
In addition this village is highly distanced from the urban areas so, in a sense it’s the remote countryside
Behind it is the great forest extending froe river called the White Ash River flows by right beside it
It see in the forest, subsistence farine that self sufficiency is the general rule for a simple lifestyle
We borrowed an open cottage for 5 silver coins to handle the s
It seeh for them to accommodate us with any amount of food
I was about to reflexively pay out additional money but, shi+on-san stopped that
Souessed the circuhtforwardly as good will
「I think this is rather good We’re staying here for today either way so, let’s go on」
「Nostalgic……?」
Urged on by theto visit the dragon person along with shi+on-san and Eclair came to be
After walking on the great forest’s ani frole house built beside the river as we had been taught
It seeonal building
Perhaps they’re preparing food with the chi up
The sun is still high, rather than an early dinner should I suppose they’re oods?
「helloー」
Calling out in front of the door, the door wordlessly opens without any particular wait
A young girl shows just her face while see
「……Who」
With blue eyes and blue hair, a cute child who’s still at an age where there’s no iirl
Un, although I’ the door when unknown people coirl
「Ano, I heard that dragon people lived here……I wanted to converse a little so I came to visit but」
I knelt and irl expressed a smile with her hands still on the door
Looking at irl opened her eyes wide in surprise
「You……」
「Nn?」
She approached me from the door, with unsteady steps
「The ician that killed that――」
「Eh……?」
Kill, ed……?
I did?
what did this child, say――
After thinking that far, I connected the dots
Blue hair, blue eyes, a young appearance that still hasn’t experience ons are said to reside
『――We could on』
Nostalgic dragon?
I’ve ons that are acquainted with Till 3 times
Ilya, wrong
Sirius, wrong
My
「It can’t be……」
While thinking
that, I can’t deny it any longer
「That――ice dragon!!?」
Suon
That girl, glared at eance for taking her life……
◇■◇■◇
Using her hands aardly while irl prepared tea
Sitting down on a log chair like a stu with this house’s owner
Most likely a dragonkin randfather-san
He seee just as Till said
I can’t iine that his hair and beard that are already filled hite hairs are of the fresh color they once had
The ice dragon child sat down on the log adjacent to the grandfather-san having finished carrying the tea
Was it benevolence that ht out……
I wonder what sort of feeling it is to take tea along with the opponent who killed you (she didn’t actually die?)
「Ano……」
Uーn
She’s a noh mask of ice
「Hohho I’ll tell you the circuht over, at that time you see」
「Till, with this child……?」
「Umu」
The grandfather who could be called a good old on child’s head
On that note the event of Till’s for on occasions happens a lot
I thought she was that sort of person but, did her feet perhaps carry her this far……?
The act of saving this child, ht have been a duty to Till
It’s so Libra did
It’s so I did
「The ice dragon’s child? I don’t really know but she’s a child with a dark past isn’t sheー」
Eclair who basically didn’t know the circuirl out of curiosity, crouched and took a sweet from her pocket
Cookie?
「Are you giving that over?」
「……What is this」
The girl uessed that it was somehow food and her eyes sparkled
「Fufu～n, this is a sweet snack called a cookie By the way it’s hand made by Eclair, you’ll come to smile when you eat this you know」
Saying that Eclair played with the ice dragon girl by taunting her with it in front of her
Delivering her gaze to the grandfather-san with a sidelong glance, she signaled this isn’t so suspicious you know
The grandfather-san nodded with a s face covered in wrinkles
「Will you give it over?」
「About that～if you can give a self introduction, perhaps I won’t not give it over?」
「……」
The ice dragon child looked at htly sulky face
Ua……she’s co on harshly, there’s no room for a defense
I’ my head stroked with a yosh yosh by shi+on-san who knew my circumstances
「……Fleurety」
The ice dragon child na a red face, as if she was e to her appetite
Fleurety is it……
「Isn’t that a good naive you this」
「Nn!」
The Fleurety who happily accepted that went, is it okay to eat it? And gained grandfather-san’s assent
She seeood child
Around when the dragon grandfather-san nodded deeply with a s the cookie with an expression like a flower in bloom
She’s stuffing herher cheeks like a squirrel
Adorable……
「Right right, if he can srandfather-san okay」
「Unn!」
Eclair gazed at the grandfather-san and child ice dragon with a somehow dazzled appearance
「Houho, thank you Now then, guests I ao」
「Ah, etto! I am Alice Till’s……eeeto, disciple」
「It’s shi+on, this child’s ane Good to meet you」
「Eclair」
When our self introductions finished, Gustaf-san turned
turned the conversation for us
Perhaps he’s speculated on where about, the request that we came here for is
「You want to hear about the dragon contract’s ?」
Fleurety-chan tilted her head
It seems she still doesn’t knohat that is
Ilya also reached her current age without a contract so, I suppose it’s not necessarily the case that a contract is necessary
