ED:

[Legendary Growth Accelerator]

Description: No one believed him when he said he had plundered the lair of the Platinum Dragon. The famous tale of the Platinum Dragon threatening to kill all humans if the potion wasnt returned and setting out to find it

The growth accelerator was made by Bahamut himself! He clearly said it. That he made it. But, its been so long that he has forgotten how to make it!

While whispering with Bahamut, Leeha felt a sense of incongruity.

The Platinum Dragon, also the Lord of the Metal Dragons, said he had forgotten how to make the growth accelerator!

A dragon?

A being that could be considered the epitome of wisdom and knowledge?

Moreover, not just an Adult but not even an Ancient, but the leader of the Metal Dragons?!

For such an important and fantastical item! It could potentially allow all the Metal Dragon races hatchlings, juveniles, and adults to grow beyond Ancient-Class! He forgot how to make something that could enable such a dramatic growth of their own species?

Thats unbelievable.

Therefore, Leeha realized this was another mystery of Middle Earth.

Logically thinking, the item description doesnt make sense! If the Platinum Dragon was so agitated that he threatened to kill everyone if the item wasnt returned? The Platinum Dragon is the boss of the Metal Dragons, isnt he?

Would the other Metal Dragons have just sat idly by while their boss rampaged? Thats unlikely.

Its impossible that the 11th Pope calmed down a rampaging Platinum Dragon!

If the item description is true, it might be a prank of God, or rather, something accomplished by the Pope with the help of divine power. So, the persuasion mentioned in the item description isnt just a verbal negotiation or some bargaining skill but something more. Leeha whispered with Bahamut in the treasury.

But no matter what keywords he brought up, Bahamuts response was not very satisfactory. The reason for this is apparent.

The Pope used some kind of magic, some kind of divine power. Thats how the rampaging Platinum Dragon was persuaded.

That could be the hidden power of the Ezwen Holy State. Leeha thought it was something close to memory manipulation, especially considering Bahamut claimed to have forgotten how to make the growth accelerator.

I mentioned this earlier. The 11th Pope was from a very long time ago, but anyway, you must have been the Platinum Dragon even then. You said youve been in that position for thousands of years.

Leeha carefully took out the growth accelerator from his bag.

Remember, recall it. A vial containing a liquid that changes color depending on the angle of light. Leeha handled it delicately and extended it towards the Platinum Dragon.

Though there was a fair distance to Bahamut, that posed no hindrance. Soon the vial left Leehas hand, floating in the air towards Bahamut.

Leeha saw it.

There was a distinct change in Bahamuts expression.

This is This thing-

He knew his gamble had paid off. Leehas reason for talking to Bahamut and bringing the growth accelerator was obviously singular.

Maybe not mass-produced, but if I can just make one more!

If the Platinum Dragon could recall how to make the growth accelerator. Just one more, and

Bahamut called the name of the Bronze Dragon only after the light completely vanished. Leeha could clearly see whom Bahamut was addressing.

Blaugrun-ssi.

His hair, a blend of bright blonde and emerald hues, flowed neatly, giving off an unbalanced but adorable appearance with its rounded tips.

The child, around ten years old in size, wore a pure white garment that harmonized well with his hair color, exuding

a sense of sanctity.

Hello, Lord. It seems like a while since Ive properly greeted you. Its amazing how spacious this place is and yet not a hint of moldy smell typical of Lords lair.

With a face resembling a child actor, featuring a pert nose and double eyelids, Blaugrun greeted Bahamut. It was like watching an endearingly cute nephew, someone youd want to pinch on the cheek. But more than mere delight, Leeha felt an overwhelming sense of emotion. However, there was an unavoidable curiosity

His manner of speaking is

It was different from what Leeha had expected. Where had the polite, composed demeanor gone? What about the intellectual air that seemed even more pronounced than Hyeins? Blaugruns behavior now seemed different from the intellectual and considerate dragon that Leeha had anticipated.

If Blaugrun pointing out mold smell in Bahamuts lair is considered intellectual, then yes, he is intellectual but

That wasnt quite the demeanor Leeha had expected. Blaugrun glanced at a pleased Bahamut, then turned to look at Leeha.

Leeha-ssi.

Yes? Oh, you- uh, Blaugrun-ssi.

Blaugrun walked up to Leeha, taking small steps and standing in front of him with his emerald eyes shining.

First, I wanted to properly thank you for resurrecting me. Thank you.

Well, thats- yeah. Of course. Uh Im not sure where your memory starts, but anyway, it was you, Blaugrun-ssi, who gave your heart to catch Kuzgunaksh-

Yes, I remember. I think using my heart to create a flamethrower-like weapon was brilliant. But when handling an owners property, especially when using it for a slightly different purpose than what the owner said, its important to ask for permission first, dont you think?

Uh? Oh, right, sorry about that.

No, its okay. Ive somewhat understood your nature while accompanying you as a hatchling, Leeha-ssi. Were partners, bound by Lord [Bahamut], after all. I believe its important to understand that.

Leeha looked over Blaugruns small head at Bahamut, who was smiling contentedly. What is this? Who is this cheeky little thing? Seeing Leehas expression, Bahamut shrugged his shoulders. Leeha couldnt ask any more questions. Blaugrun had become a perfect Juvenile-level dragon. His personality seems to be adjusted to his current stage of growth, even though he retains his memory?! Leeha observed Blaugrun, who was surprisingly sharp, too shrewd for his liking, and even a bit presumptuous.

Thank you for the future cooperation. But Id appreciate it if you consult with me before engaging in dangerous activities. You understand, right?

Leeha suddenly felt overwhelmed by exhaustion. He wondered if he should hold out his hand to the fern-like hand in front of him, pondering for a moment.

Ill be in the lair first. Although Im still quite lacking, I can handle mana now, so I have to clean the lair. If Leeha-ssi had visited my lair even once, I could have reduced some workload.

Thats right I never visited. Im sorry.

No need to apologize. Just visit more often. You couldnt have had a proper conversation when I was a hatchling anyway. Its natural. Please contact me when needed. Ah, and preferably, use a messaging spell before summoning me.

Okay, cough. Understood, Blaugrun-ssi.

Would Blaugruns shining crown even reach Leehas waist?

Leeha felt somewhat paralyzed by the presence of Blaugrun, who looked like a 10-year-old human child, half his height.

What kind of kid is this?!

Leeha wanted to revoke his earlier thought of Blaugrun being like an adorable nephew, as his astute behavior felt both cringe-worthy and spine-chilling to Leeha.
