Meanwhile, in the house of Rinos, Allyria was shouting with joy.
"Wow! So cute!"
Allyria claps her hands with a twinkle in her eyes. Ahead of her was a small dragon.
It was about the height of an adult's waist, and its body was covered with jet-black scales. Needless to say, this was Chario, the black dragon captured by Rinos the other day.
She was surprised to find herself dehumanized for the first time in a long time. She had never imagined that her body had been reduced to one-tenth of its original size.
A different perspective: ....... The child in front of her looks bigger. The sight was so unexpected that Chario could not accept the reality for a while.
"He looks like a newborn baby dragon!
It is Lars who is laughing, clutching his stomach. His sister, Ferris, is smacking him on the head.
"That's enough! I always tell you to stop laughing like a fool!"
"I said, 'I'm sorry!'"
"What?"
"Don't fight, you two."
Alyria puts her hands on her hips and stretches her chest out to Ferris and Lars. Ferris smiles at her.
"You're looking especially like a big sister these days, aren't you?"
"Ahehe."
Laughing a little shyly, Alyria turns to Shario.
"......"
Chario looks at the people lined up in front of him, stunned. To be honest, every day since I came to this house has been a series of unbelievable things, and I still can't think fast enough to understand what's going on. The thing that confuses her the most is the lack of information. She has no idea who she is dealing with.
Originally, Shario had excellent skills in detecting magic and presence, as well as excellent appraisal skills. By making full use of these skills, she was able to accurately grasp what objects and creatures appeared in front of her, and whether they were harmful to her or not. On the contrary, she had to focus on how to process the information that came in one after another.
But now, I had no idea what was going on. No information was coming up in his mind.
Chario was beyond perplexed by this situation and was feeling a slight fear. She relied on her intuition, and her guesses were all wrong because she did not know the information about those who appeared in front of her.
For example, Lars being poked by Ferris. When she first saw him, she dismissed him as a foolish boy. In reality, however, he was a man of formidable strength, able to lift huge boulders easily with one hand. It was no wonder, then, that he was Kulurkan, the only opponent the Black Dragon clan had never been able to defeat. Chario was astonished when he learned this fact.
In a one-on-one fight, Chario was confident that he could defeat Lars. But in a battle with the combined power of the clan, this force would be a threat. It was clear that he would be a formidable force if led by a man of command. In fact, he went to Dorga and Hiyama and quickly repaired the walls and moats that had been damaged in the previous battle with his prowess. If I had known that he was a Krulcan, I would not have been surprised, but when I first heard this story, it was difficult to believe it.
Chario was now, in a sense, blind and powerless. It was safe to say that even one of those who surrounded her could easily put her in a near-death state if they wanted to.
"Ahem."
Despite Chario's feelings, Alyria happily climbed onto Chario's back, put her hands around his neck, and hugged him. It would not be difficult to shake off this little girl. But he did not know what would happen to him if he did so. These fears haunted my mind.
Suddenly, a woman's voice is heard. As soon as she hears the voice, the girl on her back rushes down to the ground and assumes an upright and immobile posture.
"Come on, breakfast is ready. Let's eat."
A beautiful woman approached with a beaming smile. This is Lycorette, the first wife of Linos, King of Agartha. For some reason, the people in this house have been listening to this woman since the beginning of their arrival here. Even Rinos, the king of Agartha who captured him, obeys her every word.
It is not that they feel a great magical power. It is not that she has terrible arm strength like Lars. She is just a small human woman. She looks so small that I think even I could defeat her. Would Rinos, the king of Agartha, who can stand on equal terms with the Dragon King, obey such a woman? Chario could not help but wonder.
"Well, what a lovely dragon!"
Lycorette looks at Chario, who has been freed from his humanization, and smiles kindly at him. Chario gazes into Licolette's eyes.
"It must be inconvenient for you to eat in your humanized form. You should be humanized. Or is there something wrong with your health?
"......"
Chario keeps his eyes on Riccolette and begins to humanize her.
"Well, let's eat."
After witnessing the humanization, Licolette slowly turns on her heel and walks toward the mansion. Alyria and the others follow behind her. Chario followed them, too.
"Bon appétit!"
Breakfast begins with the voice of Linos, King of Agartha. In this house, the meal is always started by the voice of Rinos. Sometimes, when he is not present, Lycoretto, who precedes him, gives the signal for the meal. Even this scene was unbelievable to Chario.
Why must we all eat together? Why not just eat when you are hungry? Nevertheless, a time is set, and everyone gathers at that time, and without touching the food, they just quietly wait for the call and start eating. She did not understand the meaning of this.
In addition, the food served in this house was so delicious that Chario felt the urge to put it in her mouth as soon as possible. At first, it was hard for her to suppress this desire, and Ferris, who always sat next to her, would grab her hand and chide her.
The act of eating the food in front of her with a strange utensil also puzzled her. Why should she have to go to the trouble of eating with something so difficult to use when she had her hands? She was eating with the utensils as she saw fit, but she did not know what it all meant.
"If you don't understand something, you can ask," she said.
Suddenly, I heard such a voice. It was Riccolette who was speaking. She looked at her daughter Eryl.
"If you go on without knowing what you don't know, you can make a terrible mistake," she said. If you don't understand something, you should solve it right away. Even if people laugh at you. It's only for a while.
"Yes. <
Linos nodded in agreement. Watching them, Eryl bowed his head slowly and silently.
...... I see. If you don't understand, just ask.
Something flashed in Shario's mind. On the other hand, another question arose.
......Why is this girl so silent?
Shario looked at Eryl, who was silently eating his meal. There must be something she doesn't understand. Why doesn't she ask him anything?
