Chapter 497: 497

After the incident with Zwei-san was settled, we took a look around the festival again . Even so, I’ve encountered a lot of people today huh…… There were even people who I’ve met for the first time, such as Fors-san and Zwei-san .

[They say that what happens twice will happen again for the third time…… I have a feeling that we’re going to run into someone again . ]

[Hmmm, it’s normally rare to see someone you know in such a large venue though~~]

[That is, well, I guess you could say that it’s to be expected from Kaito-san . ]

[Kyuaahhh!]

[Oh, good morning, Lynn . ]

[Kyuukuu~~]

When I was walking while conversing with Dr . Vier and Neun-san, Lynn, who had been taking a nap inside my clothes, woke up . The way she peeked out her head out of my clothes and yawned was very cute .

Stroking her head as we walked, I suddenly heard someone call out to me .

[Oya? If it isn’t Miyama-dono, good afternoon…… Even though meeting you here is an accident, it’s my honor to meet you here . ]

[……Ehh?]

……I know that I’ve raised a flag with what I said earlier, but isn’t this too early? Seriously, I don’t know why the heck am I meeting my acquaintances in a large place…… like this…… Arehh?

Surprised by the strange coincidence, I turned to the direction of the voice…… and found a guy that I’ve met for the first time .

[……W- Who could you be?]

Standing before me is a good-looking man of about 2-meters tall, having long, shiny black hair that was tied to a ponytail at the back of his neck . His skin was tanned, and combined with his ripped muscles, he looked incredibly strong .

Seriously, who the heck is this? T- There’s no way that he’s another one that I first met today, right? Cut me some slack…… I’ve already had enough after meeting Fors-san and Zwei-san today……

While thinking about this, I timidly asked the man who he is . Hearing my question, he seemed to be thinking for a bit before he clapped his hands, as if he had some idea .

[……Ahh, speaking of which, you haven’t seen me in this form before . I’m “Fafnir” . ]

[Eh? Eeeehhhhh!? F- Fafnir-san!?]

Eh? This person is Fafnir-san? The same 100-meter tall gigantic dragon, Fafnir-san?

[I had changed my form with “Humanization Magic” . ]

[I- I see……]

Humanization Magic…… Indeed, speaking of fantasy novels, that’s one of the most standard magic . In fact, when I look at it like this, I’m astonished that that humongous dragon can change so much .

[Ohh, it’s Fafnir . It’s been a while~~]

[If it isn’t Vier-dono, it’s been a while . I see Neun-dono is here too huh . ]

[Yes, it’s been a while, Fafnir-sama . ]

[Yes, I’m glad to see that Neun-dono is doing well . ]

Fafnir-san greeted us with a polite greeting that I couldn’t have imagined from a big, muscular, tanned man . This may sound rude, but there’s a huge gap between his actions and his appearance .

No, well, Fafnir-san was polite to begin with but……

[……What are you doing here, Fafnir?]

[Me? Well, by Magnawell-sama’s orders, I am guiding people to the “Six Kings Festival Special Monster Race” that lies ahead . ]

[……Special Monster Race?]

[Yes, if I remember correctly, Miyama-dono has seen a Monster Race in the Archlesia Empire, right? The Special Monster Race is a race that only gathers “Monsters that have won their division or recorded excellent results during the year” . ]

……So, it’s like a battle between champions? That sounds pretty exciting . However, I don’t know if it’s just my imagination or not…… but I have a feeling that I would know a certain someone who would present at that event .

More specifically, the clone of the idiot hidden behind me……

[It will definitely be a race worth watching, so if you have some time to spare, please go check it out . ]

[Ah, yes . Thank you . ]

[No problem . Well then, I still have my duties to fulfill, so I will be ex…… Oya?]

[Kyuu!? Kyuii!!! Kyuukkukyuuaahhh!!!]

[L- Lynn!? What’s with you all of a sudden?]

Just as Fafnir-san was about to bow to us and go back to his work of guiding nearby people, Lynn popped out of my clothes for some reason .

Lynn seemed to be shouting something at Fafnir-san, but not in a threatening way . Rather, it seemed like she was asking something……

[If it isn’t Lindwurm . Fumu…… It seems that “you have been following my advice”, “eating food that is filled with magic power” . Your magic power is much greater than before . ]

[Kyuuk! Kyukyuuiii! Kyuruukukyuaahh!!!]

[I can understand your impatience…… “but it’s still not enough” . That’s why, you still can’t . ]

[Kyuu…… kuu……]

[You don’t have to be so discouraged . Your magic power is growing considerably faster than I anticipated…… You must be eating very good food . At the rate you’re growing, you should be able to reach your required magic power in no time . ]

I can’t fully understand Lynn’s words, so I don’t know what she was saying to Fafnir-san…… but I could feel that she’s depressed through my Sympathy Magic .

Dejectedly lowering down her head, Lynn dove back into my clothes again .

[……Umm, Fafnir-san? Are you acquainted with Lynn?]

[Yes . We’ve spent some time together on the few days I was dispatched to help with the Flying Dragon Services, before the time Miyama-dono brought her home . As we are both Dragons, she had consulted something with me . ]

[She consulted something? Could I ……]

[Kyukuu!? K- Kyukyuuii! Kyukuii!!!]

[Eh? L- Lynn?]

I was curious why Lynn became depressed, so I asked Fafnir-san, but immediately afterwards, Lynn flusteredly popped out of my shirt and desperately started shouting something .

Hearing what Lynn was shouting, Fafnir-san chuckled with a smile, before bowing down to me .

[Hahaha, my apologies, Miyama-dono . It seems that Lindwurm wants to keep it a secret . ]

[Is that so…… Lynn, is it a secret?]

[Kyuii! Fyuuuu!]

[Alright, alright . I’m not going to ask again . ]

I’m curious what they were talking about, but Lynn doesn’t seem like she wants to talk about it, so I decided not to ask any more questions . Meanwhile, for some reason, Fafnir-san just looked at us with gentle eyes .

Dear Mom, Dad————– It seemed to me that there was a reason for Lynn’s usual desire for Fruits of the World Tree, other than it being her favorite food . It’s not that I can’t imagine why, but well, for the time being————— I’ll just wait for Lynn to tell me .

Serious-senpai ZERO : [……I already know why…… and it’s definitely going to be sweet……]
