"It's .............
Tenryu's voice changed.
Violet eyes lifted. Your huge throat growls and growls.
"Did you say slave ......? The next generation of the Heavenly Dragon, your slave.
I have the power to interfere with the skills of a slave.
He tells her quickly.
''Using that 'power to interfere,' I've rewritten my slave's 'Locking Skill for Sealing' and 'Bad Luck Inviting Skill' into skills that will benefit him! If your seal is like a 'lock skill', I might be able to remake it with my power!
............!
Iris clings to my chest.
I know she believes in me. I can feel it because we're connected.
'But in order to do that, I need to make the larval body of the Heavenly Dragon, White, my slave. The price of enslavement is 'use your power to break the seal of the Heavenly Dragon', and the condition for terminating the contract is 'to hatch as a Heavenly Dragon'! The contract can be terminated in a heartbeat, and I'm not going to abuse your power! It can be a 'deal'!
A magical wind is swirling through the dream.
White is having a whimpering fit. We go over to her side and touch her back. Then White's breathing stabilizes and she begins to huff and puff in her sleep.
There's an egg hanging from White's waist, and along with it, the Medallion of Contract. 'The 'master-slave contract' should be able to do that.
'...... Nagioto-san. Are you there?
"............?
I love you. I love your hands that held White in mine. I love you, Rita and Aine, and I love you, Otto. White, I want to be with you all. ......
"...... even if it's a 'slave'?
I want to be with you.
It was White talking in his sleep. My eyes are closed.
For a short time, we've been around the Eggs of the Dragon.
I think he understands that we're on his side.
"Young living organisms ...... No, White. Wake up.
............ Huh?
With a snap, White opened his eyes.
'Huh? Are we in a dream? But I'm not afraid, okay? There's Nagi-Oh and Iris, right?
Do you like Iris and her friends, Mr. White?
Iris reached out her hand to White, who woke up.
White grabbed his hand and smiled, smiling.
Love it.
Will you listen to me, Mr. White?
Iris patted the scaled choker that adorned her neck.
'Iris is my brother's slave. Would you like to be the same, White?
Nuh-uh.
'I'm going to snuggle up to my brother, absolute obedience, if you don't mind.
Good. I'm good with people.
Yeah, that's right.
Iris nodded and looked at Tenryu.
''The next generation of Heavenly Dragons will want to be with Iris and the others.
"My baby. You may never spend the same amount of time with them. But still?
Tianlong said.
''Most of my magic power has been taken away. Once this 'seal' is broken, the magic power of the previous Heavenly Dragon will be scattered to pieces. Because it can't be sealed up again in this place.
The next generation of Heavenly Dragons would never have the same power as the previous generation. Nor would the eggs be bound to this land.
But it will take a long, long time for it to hatch. ''Even so?''
I thought White wanted to be with everyone else, even in his egg state.
With that, White looked back at his mother's magic.
I felt the world when I was an egg," he said. And after Nagi and the others gave him his magic, he decided to trust people. I never wanted to be born into this scary world until I came into contact with everyone's magic.
With a small nod of his head, White continues to speak.
'But you know, Nagi-Oka-san has accepted the ungainly Shiro and is trying to help him. Rita Okaasan and Aine Okaasan have taught me how much they love me. Iris-san is also trying to help White here. And we want to be together. I may not get the same power as my predecessor, but I want to stay with you, even if I'm still an egg.
Then, looking up, White declares.
'Shiro will be the 'Heavenly Dragon's Egg' item with Nagio-san and everyone else?
''Then ...... the residual magic power of the previous Heavenly Dragon, who is connected to the Heavenly Dragon's larval body, tells you.''
The celestial dragon's magic power opened its mouth.
'The larval body Shiro will make a 'master-servant contract' with Nagioto-san. The reward for enslavement is to 'use your power to break the seal of the celestial dragon' and the condition for terminating the contract is for Shiro to hatch as a celestial dragon.'
As Tenryu tells me, I reach for my pillow in the real world.
I put the palms of my hands against the egg.
If we're going to make a master-slave contract, we have to touch it.
"──Contract?
"Contract.
The collar was wrapped around the neck of the larval body White.
It's a choker with white scales, different in color from Iris.
Ehehe.
It's not heh, White. It's here.
I turn to face the magic of the celestial dragon.
I touch the Heavenly Dragon's paws at the bottom of the basin with both hands.
This time I'm going to interfere with the remaining magic power of the Heavenly Dragon through White.
The purpose is to interfere with the 'seal' within the Heavenly Dragon and rewrite it.
''Activate! "Ability Rebuild, Skill Structure, Lv 4!
I elaborate on my consciousness. I groped for the 'seal' in the Heavenly Dragon's magic.
''Work more efficiently.''
"Give it everything you've got.
"You can do better than that.
"I have come to appreciate the power...
Yuck.
I'm tired of that kind of thing, I'm tired of the original world.
Show yourself, Hermione. I'm going to reveal your true identity to the world.
I found .......
"Dragon Demon Seal
The seal that immobilizes the dragon's magic.
The 'Ability Rebuild LV4' conceptualized the dragon's seal.
As expected of the Heavenly Dragon's magic power, it is connected to White's egg across space.
In the 'Rebuild Ability' window, the words 'Dragon Magic Seal' are clearly visible.
The seal's "concept" is an eerie color and does not move even if you touch it.
But there's a gap between the 'concepts'. Then it's all right.
I still have some leftover from when I made the 4 Concept Cheat Skills. I'll use this.
Uncrystallized skill!
The Ship.
Yeah, I'll see you later. Nagi-O-Masan. Iris okaasan.
Before you know it, Iris has become 'Okaasan' too.
White's figure fades away.
My dreams are fading. We're going to wake up.
I thought it would be nice to meet everyone's children when White was born: ......
With that, the larval body of the Heavenly Dragon, White, returned to the egg.
''Good morning ....... Onii-chan.
Good morning, Iris.
It was dawn when we woke up.
On the first floor, we hear the sound of boiling water. Aine is already awake.
I think it's Cecil and Rita behind the door, breathing in their sleep.
They've both been worried about you.
Thank you for your help, Iris. "The Celestial Dragon Larva Rescue Quest is complete.
Yes, ...... big brother.
I succeeded in erasing White's nightmare. I also released the sealed-up magic of the Heavenly Dragon.
But we don't know when White will be born again.
It could be more than a hundred years later, maybe after we die.
Maybe White will be born again tomorrow!
'You're positive, Iris!
"'Cross the rough seas in front of you, confident that you can see the island' - a proverb from Ilgafa. Iris must have become White's 'okaasan' after all, right? Then it's up to you to trust your children.
Iris declared once and for all.
'If Iris can't meet him, I'll make sure that the next generation of Iris can meet him. That would be the role of the dragon's attendant, the one who was called 'Okaasan'. I don't want the next generation to be born, Shiro-san, to be left alone.
Iris: "Iris, ...... you're thinking straight.
'Of course. Iris is invincible under the sun if you let her think about these things, right?
Mmm, Iris paused in her gut.
Then, perhaps embarrassed, he turned bright red and looked to the side.
The thing in front of my gaze is──the Heavenly Dragon's Egg that I left under my pillow.
But the shape is quite different.
The egg becomes like a small jewel with metal decorations around it.
The ornaments are just in the shape of a bracelet.
The Armlet of the Heavenly Dragon (White) (USMAXR, "Ultra Supermax Rare")
A bracelet with a white Tenryu no Eggs (with white) embedded in the center.
It has the ability to absorb magic.
It is basically impossible to destroy the egg part.
It can temporarily generate a round shield (round shield) with magic power.
Only Shiloh's "Oookasan" and "Okaasan" can equip it.
'Shiro-san. Iris Okaasan is here. Can you hear me?
Iris is stroking the 'Heavenly Dragon's Bracelet'.
But there doesn't seem to be any response from White. He's probably asleep again.
''Speaking of which, big brother. I wonder where the Tenryu's residual magic power was in the end?
It must be a magical testing city or something to do with it.
If I had to guess, I'd probably be wrong.
'I can't think of any other place that can maintain a seal for over a hundred years and keep it a secret. Besides, you said that the nearby fort was occupied by a demon. If it was because of the Tenryu's Wrath, then the fort should be close to here. In other words, if something happens even from here, we'll know about it...
When I said.
"────!
A dragon's roar came from the northwest.
It was the same voice I had heard in my dream.
I opened the window and looked out, and saw a huge pillar of light standing in the distance...
Before we could see it transform into a winged dragon, and then it was gone.
I see. So that's the "Heavenly Dragon's Residual Magic".
It's a good thing. You were able to release it in real life too.
''Oh, hey. Isn't that in the direction of the Magical Experimental City?
I heard voices from the surrounding houses.
No, no. It's from the abandoned laboratory. Those scientists. ...... What did they do?
...... Really, what have you been up to, huh?
When the heat dies down, I'm going to take Cecil and shoot him with the Ancient Language Fireball.
White can't wake up at ......
I was hoping that this would awaken them all at once.
Just like the Heavenly Dragon's magic power said, it seems it will take some time until the next birth.
I hope it's while I'm alive.
Tenryu should have the 'flight' skill. So I want to go to the island you gave me earlier and see if I can be self-sufficient there. That's good. Carefree living on a southern island.
It's much easier to live in a safe zone when you're in a pinch.
You're as tired of ...... as I am, brother.
With a pop, Iris put her head in my lap.
I slept with my brother, but I don't feel like I slept at all.
You can go back to sleep now, Iris.
Where's your brother?
If I fell asleep at Iris's side and I couldn't see her sleep or observe her dreams, I'll try again.
Hey, bro. That's not fair! Oh, it's not fair to stroke them, is it?
caressing
Just because they found out about Iris's squeaky-clean ...... onii-cha ......
Strokes, strokes, strokes.
"There is a proverb in Irgafa that says ...... 'Sleeping on your knees is the ...... reddish ...... of your faith...'... ...
With that, Iris fell asleep.
We've been rolling and struggling on the bed while I've been in White's dream, so my nightgown belt is untied and looking amazing. Iris is also drenched in sweat, and the scales on her back are sticking out. But I don't want to wake her up when she's asleep, so I'll just keep watching her.
It's morning now, so I'll just watch and see what happens.
Thus, the quest related to the "Heavenly Dragon" that began with the search for Rafilia's memories ended successfully.
We have decided to go on a real rest this time.
