The Bright White Dragon asnwers me uninterestingly.
「Then, since you are white let’s go with Shiro」
「Isn’t that too simple!? She’s not a dog! 」
「That is good」
Although Tira has raised an objection, the person in question OK’d plainly.
「Is that alright!? At least, let’s choose a more girlish name!」
Ellen raises her hand.
「I have a good idea!」
「That’s right, let’s have a girl name the girl and leave this to Ellen――」
「How about Gachimuchi!」3
「――I was an idiot for having expectations!」
「That sounds somewhat unpleasant」
Although the Bright White Dragon seemed like she would take any name, she immediately refused Ellen’s suggestion.
「…… I see…… I thought it was a good name, though……」
Ellen drops her shoulders dejectedly.
I think that thinking that such name was good is quite dangerous……
「Shiro! Shiro! Yo~shyoshyosh」
Meanwhile, Filia was calling Shiro, Shiro repeatedly.
Maa, Shiro is good, isn’t it? It suits her atmosphere so in the end we have decided to call the Bright White Dragon Shiro.
「Then, let’s go back?」
Then, we started descending the mountain.
「W, wait a moment!」
The one who called us was Gard and the girls.
「You have saved me…… To think you would be that strong…… I’m really embarrased that I though I was stronger than you…… Honestly, it seems like I have become conceited after becoming A-rank……」
To admit it himself, he’s quite admirable fellow.
The two strong-willed girls are completely depressed now.
「…… So, that girl is……?」
Gard asks while looking at Shiro.
「This is the Bright White Dragon. I have put a collar on her since she’s now our pet」
「…… I, I see」
That indeed surprised Gard a little.
On the other hand, the two girls behind exclaimed frankly.
「L, let’s move on, Gard」Ojousama
「That’s right. Gard will eventually reach the point where he can take on a Divine Dragon too!」Noisy one
Both of them encourage Gard.
Gard was not moving from the place for some reason.
He kept on muttering「Pet…… I see…… pet, huh……」repeatedly.
「Gard? What’s the matter?」Ojousama
While the two girls looked in wonder at Gard, he started mumbling with earnest face.
「I, if…… that…… if you would like……」
「…… What’s wrong?」
「Umm…… that……」
Gard hesitates for some reason.
His cheeks get dyed red and he frequently keeps glancing at me while fidgeting.
