Summer vacation of the dragon and the girl (3)

Summer vacation of the dragon and the girl (3)

Roommate-san, roommate-san

My stomach was filled and when I was about to settle down Yggdrasil called me.

Before I could ask what was wrong a trembling high voice like a newborn wildcat screamed out.

Wh-wh-what are you doing?! Evil dragon!

I turned around towards the voice and standing there was the girl whose body was violated by the weapon.

Contrary to her courageous voice her body was trembling.

It was no wonder. There was no way to be not frightened while standing in front of a dragon.

With her utmost courage she stood strong with a fortitude that didnt match her age or appearance.

Now the eyes of the girl possessed a shine unlike the gray eyes from when she was possessed by the weapon.

Unlike before those were the eyes of a living person.

Miin min min min? (TL: Fumu, is your body alright? Human child)

. . . eh? What? These words?

Miin min min min (TL: Dragons cant speak, did you think that? Without sufficient knowledge humans are haughty and conceited.)

The girl covered her ears with her hands and looked with a face that didnt understand.

Humans seem to see only what they want to see and the ears seemed to be the same.

The girl didnt want to believe the fact that a dragon could speak words.

(Roommate-san, roommate-san. She might have been surprised by your cry?)

Yggdrasil quietly whispered to me with a volume like two leaves rubbing against each other.

No wonder, it was that.New novel chapters are published on

Because the words of a dragon are the soul language and not spoken in human speech, therefore there was a discrepancy with the contents she understood from the dragon which didnt talk human language.

Then here, lets try to match it with the human method.

. . . fumu, is this alright? Human child.

When I chose to spoke with the words of human from my inherited knowledge the girl sighed in relieve.

Although it didnt solve her caution of me.

Well, first of all lets answer your question. You asked what I was doing and the answer to that is, I was having my meal.

The shoulder of the girls shook at the word Meal. When her blue eyes noticed my big fangs her face was colored in fear.

Did I startle you? I dont intend to eat you. To begin with I dont like either blood or meat.

A, a dragon not liking human flesh is an obvious lie! Evil dragon!

The words I had spoken to calm her seemed to have caused her further caution instead. The girl bent her body like a wildcat and shrank down.

Its not a lie . . . . That you are still living, isnt that the best proof?

The eyes of the girl swim. She noticed that there wasnt a discrepancy with between my words and reality.

The girl was about to say something but she kept quiet.

Well, human child. May I ask a question? Whats with that evil dragon thing? I have no memory of harming your people and have no intention to do so in the future either.

I who didnt remember anything that I should be ashamed of in this life tell her so with dignity while looking in the girls eyes.

The girl flinched.

The truth was sharper than any weapon. I understood the girls confusion.

The girl seemed to be praying because connected the head, heart and navel with three fingers.

Fumu . . . , if I wasnt mistaken that was a prayer for the protection of the world tree.

In the great war between the dragon and the humans 300 years ago that remained in the memory I inherited, all the humans have prayed like the little girl when they disappeared like seaweed in the sea.

I will not be confused by your words! The dragon is an evil being! The preceding dragon demanded seven sacrifices every year! Also the miko-sama of clairvoyance . . .

Human-san, the dragon of this generation is a very gently person. He is anything but evil.

To the girl who was never going to accept my words and I had a hard time dealing with, Yggdrasil assisted me and cut off her words.

Yggdrasil saved me. . . .But calling me gentle, I was embarrassed.

Ehh . . .? Whose voice is it? I heard it in my head . . . , where . . .?

The girl was looking around while searching for the owner of the voice. That state was exactly like me when I met Yggdrasil for the first time.

Here, small human-san.

The girl turned her head left and right. Umu. Even when said here she didnt understand it.

The girl totally wasnt aware of it, so I as her Senpai should teach her where here is.

Human child, now, touch it with your left hand. Its the most beautiful and noble existence in the world. She can speak to dragons and humans and is much greater than me, there is no reason that you wouldnt understand her words.

Mou, roommate-san you are exaggerating. Youre praising me too much because I can give sap.

Its what you said. I treasure sap above all.

The girl who heard our conversation seemed to have noticed the owner of the voice at last.

No way . . .

Her small blue eyes were opened wide.

Nice to meet you small human-san. Im Yggdrasil.

Harpy, are you there?

From the yurt I heard something rattling and rolling and from dripping water.

After a few minutes, from the entrance made of cloth, the harpy put out her head like a turtle.

As soon as seeing my appearance a smile bloomed on her face. Water was dripping from her blue hair.

. . fumu, was she in the middle of bathing? My timing was bad.

I held out a finger to the head peeping from the tent and Harpy also strongly stretched her head out to me.

The appearance of only extending her from the yurt really resembled a turtle and was lovely.

(Good morning, ryu-san! Did you come to play?)

Request to those words the girl opened her eyes wide and nodded. Yes! Yes! And she looked like a hungry dog that wagged its tail while waiting for the next words.

With roommate-san . . ., with the dragon of this generation, will you spend a day together with him? If you spend a day together you will surely understand that roommate-san isnt an evil dragon.

The girls eyes opened wide in surprise.

After looking at me with eyes of despair she shifted back to Yggdrasil.

My request . . ., will you accept it?

Nyuju had no other choice than to faithfully nod.

While she was nodding I could see tears dropping to the ground.

The girl didnt look up and only nodded while looking at the ground.

(Roommate-san, Im sorry for doing this without your permission. If possible . . ., this girl . . .)

(Ah, leave it to me. Yggdrasil)

I understood what Yggdrasil was about to say. I also thought that the pitiful girl couldnt be left alone.

Somehow, couldnt the girls tears be stopped?

Please, couldnt this girl laugh?

Nyuju. Can you use magic to fly?

Nyuju affirmed by nodding her head while looking at the ground.

I dont have any urgent business at the moment. So is there a place you want to go?

To my words the girl nodded her head,

I want to go to a water place. Because I want to wash my body and clothes.

She answered so with a trembling and low voice.

Fumu . . ., I dont mind . . .

I thought about it for a while. The girl didnt have clothes to change.

The water in the river was cold though it was summer. To begin with, what did she intend to wear after washing her clothes?

Looking down on this small girl I was incidentally reminded of my friend Harpy who was the same size. I remembered then.

Thats a good idea, you should borrow some clothes from my friend.

Friend . . .?

The girl looked up for the first time. She looked at me suspiciously while raising an eyebrow.

Do you find it strange that a dragon has friends? Child of man. You dont have friends?

The girl didnt answer my question.

It was no surprise, after all the girl seemed to have lived a severe life until now. Otherwise she wouldnt have chosen to be the user of the ancient weapon at such an age . . .

Besides the pitiful fanaticism towards Yggdrasil she had nobody to support her.

Then let me guide. Follow me.

Thus I took Nyuju to Harpys house.

Nearly two hours had already passed since Nyuju disappeared into Harpys yurt.

While I had my back turned towards the yurt I strained my ears all the time.

I heard noises and I sometimes Nyujus voice but they werent fighting so time passed peacefully.

Then I heard the sound of the yurt door fluttering.

Harpy and Nyuju stood there when I turned around.

Fumu . . ., it looks good

Nyuju was wearing clothes with a bright colored racial pattern from the harpy race.

These clothes looked girlish compared to her battle clothes.

Harpy and human. They were of a different race but they looked like sisters because of their same height and similar clothes.

(You took your time Harpy. Was there any problem?)

(Yes, dragon-san! The size of the clothes fit Nyuju!)

Where was the problem there, though it made no sense, so instead of expressly asking again I smiled and nodded at Harpy as if I understood.

As for Nyuju, she was restless and her gaze was wandering around, but the distance to Harpy was small. She seemed to have no bad feelings towards the Harpy.

Then lets go towards the sky today as a reward, Harpy.

She understood my intention for a second flight. Harpy flapped her wings and flew up and firmly clung to my neck.

Well, Harpy and me will go for a walk in the sky for a while, do you want to join us? Nyuju.

After shifting her gaze between me and Harpy for a while she then refused.

. . . well, I will wait here for a while.

I didnt force her either. To her Im still the Evil dragon.

I opened my wings and took off towards the sky, but then the weight disappeared from my neck.

Ah . . .

White wings land in front of Nyuju. Harpy slowly reached out her hand and opened her mouth PakuPaku.

Lets go

She couldnt speak those words but I thought that I had surely heard them.

Nyuju slowly reached out her hand. After their finger-tips grazed each other the two of them firmly grasped the hand.

I did not know how two people who couldnt hold a conversation spend two hours together. . . . But indeed, certainlyThere was no problem at all.

Then shall we go with three people.

I danced through the sky while feeling two weights on my neck. Harpy clung to my neck while the child clung to Harpy.

Nyuju, did you know?

What you have obtained now. What the person is called whom your both hands are grasping.

That person is called Friend.
