Chapter 105.

105 . Dolflare (2)

To me, Dolflare looked like he was having fun .

It can even be said that he was excited .

The exceedingly frail human race compared to the dragon race .

I heard that my child was defeated by a mere human child and wanted to fight – must have been what Dolflare was thinking .

I clearly understand such feelings of Dolflare .

In my past life, I would’ve felt the same way if Regina had lost to a younger opponent .

If Regina was defeated with deception, then I would want to get even with that person . But if she was defeated fair and square, I wouldn’t have any resentment .

I would simply wish to know what kind of opponent it was .

「Hero-dono, I wish to know just how strong Will Wolms is」

「But look…」

「Regina-sama… I do not mind」

As Rosetta and the others were present, I addressed Regina with honorifics .

「Hmm… Are you confident?」

「Not that much, but I am not putting my life on the line」

「Well, I am also here as the healer, so it should be fine, right?」

Dion supports the battle between me and Dolflare .

「Hmm, If that’s the case, it’s okay」

Regina approves the contest between me and Dolflare .

Immediately I said to Dolflare .

「Dolflare-sama, I have a request」

「What?」

「If we win, we would like to receive a small piece of your beard」

The original objective is to get a dragon’s beard to use for a bowstring .

It may not be that kind of atmosphere anymore, but the dragon’s beard is very important .

「My beard? What are you going to use it for?」

「To create a bowstring with it」

「Hmm? Will Wolms, Do you make bows?」

「Not just bows, but weapons as a whole… I’m still in the middle of studying it」

Hearing that, Dolflare’s breathing becomes a little heavy .

Perhaps he is interested in weapons production .

「I see, I don’t mind if that’s the case . And I was already thinking it was about time to cut it」

「Thank you very much」

「It’s still too early to say your thanks . You have to win against me first」

「Of course, I know」

However, even if I lost, I can have Regina fight for it .

That is why I said「If we win」earlier .

Dolflare used Regina’s statement to seek a match with me first .

In that case, if Dolflare wins, it would be Regina vs Dolflare as per Regina’s statement .

「I will do my utmost best」

After politely bowing to pay homage to Dolflare,

「I will do my best, but please be gentle with me」

I said in a little louder voice .

This is to let the surrounding dragons hear it rather than Dolflare .

If I said that, the surrounding dragons will think Dolflare went easy on a human child if he loses .

I wouldn’t have to crush Dolflare’s honour .

There is nothing good about crushing the honour of your negotiation partner .

「Umu, I understand」

「Is the discussion over?」

「Yes, I leave the refereeing to you, Dion Edel Aqua… No, priest of Dragon God-sama」

Dolflare says he asks the priest of Dragon God to referee .

Not Dion, who is his friend or Dion, who is the master of his disciples .

He is asking Dion to judge fairly as a priest .

「Of course」

After listening to Dion’s reply, Dolflare nodded satisfied .

And then, takes a deep breath .

「GRAAAAAAAGRAAAAAAA!!」

He roars towards the sky . The atmosphere trembles .

「「「GRAARAAARAAA」」」

The dragons swirling in the sky cry one after another .

They are replying to Dolflare’s roar .

And dragons gathered one after another in the sky .

「I want them to see my fight」

「…Is it alright?」

「What is?」

「It might turn out where everyone would see you lose to a human」

「GYAGYAGYA! GYA!」

Dolflare happily laughed .

「How confident… But, you don’t have to worry」

「You wouldn’t lose?」

「Of course I wouldn’t . However, even if I lost, it just means the one who won is amazing」

「Does that mean losing does not tarnish your honour?」

「Exactly… If there is a guy who misunderstands, I will personally make him understand」

If Dolflare can handle it, I will do my best to win . Worrying too much is unnecessary .

My consideration to save his honour might be unnecessary .

「If that’s the case, I can win with relief」

When I said so, Dolflare exhaled heavily .

He was probably laughing .

「Oh, you can lose with relief」

I said to Dolflare that I would win with relief .

Naturally, Dolflare comprehends what I meant . However, he intentionally twisted the meaning .

It might be a satire of the dragon race . Therefore, I laughed .

Somehow, I felt like I could fight Dolflare comfortably .
