Chapter 134: CH 133

“Sōryū…?”

I mechanically asked Camilo again. The installed knowledge gave me a general idea of this world’s geography and common sense but it didn’t cover the details about the living creatures here.

“Yeah. It’s called Sōryū. However, it’s actually not a dragon, it’s more like a lizard.”

In the previous world, there are also records of calling a huge lizard as dragon. The Komodo lizard was also referred to as Komodo Dragon. I guess it’s similar in this world too huh.

At first, I thought it was a Zungri Mukkuri lizard, but the closest one might be a horse-sized brontosaurus. It’s more like the rounder and cuter version of the Kaminari dragon listed in the picture books. Or perhaps, it is the cuter version of a western dragon without wings in the previous world. Its scales is beautiful emerald green like the green python or emerald tree boa in the previous world, adding charm to its cuteness. Its eyes are the so-called reptilian eyes, but they are round and adorable. Sure enough, if you think reptiles are cute, they will look pretty cute.

It seems that the girls, at least Diana, are not bad with reptiles. My shoulder has been hit continuously since a while ago.  

Oi, I knew it was cute but please calm down.

“What does this guy eat?”

It feels like it is a herbivore from its appearance. I recall hearing that as carnivores like to eat meat, the muscles in their jaws and necks increase so their necks don’t get that elongated. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the creatures in this world evolved like those in the previous world. After all, there is such a thing as magic here and if they evolved in the same way, there would be no elves, beastmen, or dwarves nor a story about dragons themselves.

“It eats anything. That’s what I heard. Well, since it came here, it’s been given meat and fodder and it ate both.”

“I see.”

It’s an omnivore huh. There is grass around us in the forest and we can procure meat so I won’t have a problem for its feed. Or maybe, like a cat, it’s basically carnivorous but it also eats plants. I’ve seen videos of cats eating bean sprouts and basil deliciously in the previous world. I guess we’ll have to actually feed it and see how much it eats.

Right, the amount. Depending on the amount of food it eat, we will have to increase Samia and Diana’s hunting time and I will also need to purchase fodder from Camilo.

“How big does it eat in one meal?”

“Well, I heard that it doesn’t eat that much. But after a while since it came here, it started eating a lot.”

“Hmm……”

Is it binge eating due to stress from changes in the environment or something? But then, it would be more normal if it won’t eat and it doesn’t make sense that it start eating more after a while.

As I was thinking that,

“Eizou-san, listen…”

Liddy calls out while pulling the hem of the clothes.

“Hn? What is it?”

I obediently moved my ears closer to Liddy. Liddy whispers to my ears with a voice that Camilo can’t hear.

“That Sōryū contains the blood of a dragon. It is a descendant of a decent dragon.”

Hmmm. So is that why it is omnivorous?

“And, dragons also eat magical power. It will supplement the magical power they lacked with meals, so that’s probably why it’s like that.”

After saying that, Liddy moved away from me.

I see. There is little magical power in cities and towns. Liddy and the other elves do not settle in cities or town because they need to take in magical power on a regular basis and the magical power in such areas is too weak for them to do so.

If the magical power is weak, it will eat a lot of food. That may be the reason why I didn’t see other Sōryū in a big place like the Capital. And given that case, it is better to keep a horse for towing. Their cost performance is better so there must be few houses that keeps them.

To put it the other way around, in our case, the problem with magical power is solved. It may not need that much food because there is a thick magical power in my house that even the surrounding beasts do not dare approach it. I’m pretty sure that the place where it was originally kept or captured, was a place with a decent amount of magical power. And since it came to a place where the magical power is thin, it probably became lacking in magical power so it started eating more.

In that case, it will not be inconvenient to keep it at home.

“So, you won’t be keeping it?”

“Yeah. With our structure, it’s no good if there is only one Sōryū. Besides, as we always go back and forth over long distances, this Sōryū is a bit conspicuous.”

What Camilo is saying is that, with its appearance, it will stand out and given the perception that it costs a lot of food, whoever owns it means that he has enough money to sustain it.

It would be unnatural for a blacksmith to keep one, but as we only go back and forth between the town and my house once every one to two weeks, we won’t be seen that much. Even if someone is interested in looking into it, a blacksmith who has a connection with a merchant and a Count who has been rapidly gaining prominence recently is too suspicious for them to even think of putting their hands on.

“Okay, then I’ll keep it at home.”

“Thanks for your patronage. It’s expensive but it’s okay, right?”

“Yeah”

Our family has full purse now. There are quite a few gold coins from His Excellency after all.

“Alright, it’s sold then. It’s fine to give the money next time.”

“Ah- right. You wouldn’t mind if I come back two weeks later, right?”

“I don’t mind. That’s for sure, right?”

“Yeah. I’ll have the money ready at that time.”

“Understood. I’ll tell them to connect your cart to it.”

“Thanks.”

Then Camilo walked towards the warehouse.
