If I care about those around me, I must never overestimate the power of the divine child I possess. I realized once again that a godchild is never all-powerful.
And I must think not only of the present but also of what will happen after I am gone. The divine child is not all-powerful, and even if I have a divine child, misfortune can still befall me.
I only look at the present and hope that everyone will be happy. But I didn't think about what would happen after I died. But I should act with that in mind.
For the sake of our precious beings. ...... though I can't imagine such a thing yet.
'Dragon-sama, this mountain has a very beautiful flow of magic, after all, is that what Dragon-sama is doing?
Is that what the dragon is doing? Yes, I am doing it. In the past, there was a great disturbance of magical power in this mountain. For a time, it was so desolate that no living creatures could live there. I used to live around here, so I got curious and started to clean up the magic.
...... I see."
"Dragon, I can't believe you can clean up such a mess of magic.
The actuality that this place was originally a good place for the flow of magic, it was easier to clean up.
The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your time in the office is to be a good listener. Can I come back again?"
While I was listening to Mr. Drouin's many stories, time had passed completely. I have Gaius and the others waiting for me, so I have to go back soon. But I thought that if I could, I would like to hear more from him when I have a budding question.
'Yes, I suppose so. You can have them come. ......Oh, yes. Just a minute."
Mr. Doulouéan says and tells me and Frene to stay a little further away from each other. I follow suit and keep my distance. The scales felt good, but I wondered if ...... they would let me stick close to them again.
While I was thinking like that, Mr. Douroian suddenly spit something out of his mouth. Eggs? What, do dragons spit out eggs? Or rather, what is this egg? I blinked my eyes in surprise.
What is this? What is this?
Frenet was more surprised than I was. It seemed to fly around me, but then it hid behind me.
'Mr. Douroian, is this ......?
Yes, it's the one where my alter ego is born.
An alter ego? Not like a child or something?
Not like a child. It's not like a child. When you are as old as I am, you can say that it is a technique to create another kind of being that has the same knowledge as me. Well, it's not exactly the same, just that it has the same knowledge as me when it's born. ......
Heh ...... you can create something like that. Mr. Doroian, that's amazing."
This world is really full of wonders, I think every time I learn something new. I think my world has become bigger, but it is still small and full of things I don't know. Whenever I realize how big the world is, I am surprised and delighted.
From this speckled black egg, about 30 centimeters in diameter, an offshoot of Mr. Doroian will be born, a being with the same knowledge.
I will leave this body to Lerunda. If you have any questions, ask them.
Really ......? Thank you. But I also want to see Mr. Douroian, so can I come by sometime?
No problem.
No problem. I'll come back from time to time. Thank you for the eggs. What should I do with this egg?
Put some magic into it. Then, after a while, it will be born.
What's its name? Do you want the same name as Mr. Drouin's alter ego?
You can do whatever you want with it.
Can I have you sign a contract with a newborn?
I don't have to worry about that either. I'm not sure what I want to do with it. I have my memory, and above all, if you really don't like it, this minute body will cancel the contract even if you force it.
I'm a little surprised that ...... can also forcibly terminate the contract. I am a little surprised.
I wonder if I should take the name from Mr. Doroian's name. Hmmm, I'll have to think about it for a while.
Anyway, if I can stay with Mr. Dorroian's body, I wonder if I can touch his scales, too. I would like to compare the feeling of touch with Mr. Drouin's smooth scales. It might feel good to touch them side by side, alternately.
I understand. Thank you, Mr. Drouin. I'm glad I was able to learn so much about you. I will come back again, and I would be happy if I could talk with you.
I don't mind if we just talk together. You can come again. I also enjoyed talking with ...... and Lelunda.
"Really? I'm glad. I'll be back.
I smiled, filled with the feeling that I was glad to make friends with Mr. Doroian.
