96. Dragon’s Beard (1/2)

I also pet Shiro’s head.

「Shiro, Eat slowly. No one is going to take it away」

「Bubee」

Shiro claims that anything can happen while eating which might disrupt his meal.

「That is so, but…」

「MonyuMonyu…MeeeeMee」

Shiro kept eating the candy with a satisfied look.

Certainly, Shiro’s claim is correct.

In fact, if a big earthquake hits or a fire breaks out, it will not just be a matter of not being able to eat candy anymore.

Everyone will have to leave the candy and evacuate.

「However, Shiro, if that is so you will never be able to enjoy your meal」

「…monyu」

Shiro is saying「certainly」. He seems to have understood.

But, he still doesn’t eat slowly. Perhaps he likes eating quickly itself.

「It’s bad for your digestion, so restrain a little」

「Mee」

「Shiro’s gluttony is terrific」

As I said so, Rubeum, who was silently eating his candy, raised his head and stared at my face.

「That’s not exactly true…kyu」

「Nn? What is?」

「Kyuru… Shiro often shares his meals」

「Is that so?」

「Kyuru」

That is surprising.

As I was surprised and looked at Shiro, he was munching on the candy as usual.

As I see it, his gluttony is amazing, but behind the scenes, he seems to be sharing his meals.

「Speaking of, Shiro had shared his food portion with the sheep when we first met」

「Mee?」

Shiro cried out 「Is that so?」,while eating the candy.

When we first met, Shiro was protecting the sheep from the wolves.

He carried grass to the sheep which were hiding in the cave.

Even though he was skin and bones, he didn’t let the sheep lose weight to that extent.

「Perhaps he is accumulating physical strength so he could use it to help everyone in times of emergency」

Either way, I think Shiro is remarkable.

I pet Shiro’s back.

「I will also try to put as much food in the bag as possible」

「Mee」

Shiro says「That is good」.

「Shiro-chan, how admirableー」

「Meeee」

Saria also started petting Shiro.

Shiro seems to enjoy being pet by Saria -to the extent, where he seemed to be more happy than being pet by me.

While watching the afternoon-snack scene of the god-beasts, I said.

「The story railed off from climbing the mountain」

「That might be for the best」

Milt nodded.

I guess it can’t be helped, as Saria said no.

「Isn’t there any prominent dragon nearby?」

「Kyuru?」
