It’s a big group.
When I returned to the wood deck with the dragons, my companions were all there.
Do they all…know that they are dragons?
Darn, the bad point of not being able to communicate…
It can’t be helped….haa.
-0-
Ah, the kids are surprised.
They knew they were our companions!
I’m relieved but as an adult, I feel a little pathetic.
The language barrier is a pain, isn’t it?
-0-
Now, let’s talk about their names.
All three of them seem to like it
I gave Flying Lizard a new name but he ignored me.
Marshmallow, I think….
It looks like I can’t change it too.
Are you okay with those names?
Maa, their names are in Japanese so they probably don’t know what it means.
-0-
Then, there’s the red fluffy ball of yarn and the newcomer with light blue scales.
I don’t know but, it seems to be reacting with fluff ball.
No, I certainly called you like that but that’s not your name.
If it was a fire dragon, I should name it something cool.
Guren(Crimson), since it would be the best description of your flaming color…do you like it?
It didn’t react.
Guren, don’t you like Guren?
Fluff Ball….Okay, you’re Fluff Ball.
TN: Name can be directly translated to “Knitted Wool” and “Sphere”. I think fluff ball is more appropriate since that’s how his lordship saw it.
-0-
Why? Do you like how it sounds?
-0-
Okay, now, I only need to think of one more name…
Fluffy is water, Flying Lizard is probably earth, Marshmallow is snow….
Water dragon, earth dragon, snow dragon?…then, these two should be an ice dragon and a fire dragon.
What is exactly this newcomer?
If we are to talk about its color, it’s light blue opal.
Light blue, lighter color than Fluffy.
Eh? Did this little one react to something?
….It’s probably my imagination.
The only other dragons I know of are thunder dragon and wind dragon.
Wind dragon…its magical power is somewhat similar to wind.
If this is a wind dragon, I should name it Hayate(wind, hurricane, cyclone, etc.).
Hayate, Hayate….it’s not responding.
Hayate, how are you?
It’s useless.
Wind….wind…not working either, how about color?
Light Blue….please don’t react.
Just like what happened earlier, it reacted to light blue.
No, why are you even looking at me like that….
Light Blue?
….Seriously?
-0-
The names of the dragons have been decided.
Fluffy, Flying Lizard, Marshmallow, Fluff Ball, and Light Blue.
…how does it sound? Why can’t you even attach your element to your names!

I want to go out of the forest.
Then, how will I be able to get out?
It didn’t feel like there were any barriers.
I didn’t feel any discomfort from the magic detection.
-0-
Also, what I can think of is…a curse.
The forest was filled with curse so someone should have sealed it off to keep it from going out.
In Japan, there’s an old story about a man who sealed an evil spirit in a rock.
Is it the same in this world?
Perhaps.
If the curse completely disappears from the forest, will the seal disappear too?
I have no choice but to give it a try.
-0-
I wonder if I can do it.
Maa, first, imagine covering all the forest.
How about using the drone clairvoyance?
From above…it’s too wide. I can’t see everything.
Right, I already tried this before…dumbass.
-0-
…let me try something else.
Ah, let’s use the walls of the seal.
Imagine getting along the wall of the seal instead of hitting it with magical power.
Alright, I imagined something.
Cover everything from the top with magical power….let it sips to the earth too.
Let sip in, let it soak in it, soak in, sip in.
「Fuh….purification.」
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt a huge amount of magical power being consumed in an instant.
…however, what’s this?
I feel that magical power is being replenished at a tremendous speed.
This is the first time this has happened.
…..What an interesting feeling.
-0-
Did it work?
Areh?
Somehow, everyone gathered around. Why?
…Ah, right.
Purification magic emits bright light so they might have been surprised.
I’m sorry.
-0-
Now, is it possible for me to go out of the forest?
I imagined sending magical power out of the forest at once.
-0-
….It was rejected.
-0-
Are there still curse in the forest?
I made my drone clairvoyance fly to examine the forest.
I don’t feel any discomfort that I can only feel from the curse anywhere.
I wonder if there are still some in the depths of some caves or something…
-0-
Once again, I created a detailed image from the tips of the leaves of the trees, to the deepest parts of the caves, and to the smallest drop of water from the lakes.
「Purification.」
I can’t get out….why?
