Hearing that Magnawell-san had a transaction with Alice to get a special clone, I asked a question that came to my mind.
[Would it be alright if I ask about that transaction you had with Alice?]
[I donāt mindā¦ā¦ I mean, I donāt know what that fellowās up to, but I too was a little surprised about our transaction. It all started a few days agoā¦ā¦ Shalltear came to visit my abode and told me āGive me your heartā.]
[Umu, to be precise, her objective seems to be the āDragon Coreā within my heart.]
Fumu, I donāt remember hearing this terminology before, but if Magnawell-san himself was surprised, I think itās safe to say that this dragon core is pretty rare.
[Ummm, what is this Dragon Core?]
[The heart of a Dragon circulates magic power throughout its body along with their blood, refining their body, and over the course of many years, that magic power gradually gathers into a small crystal. That is a Dragon Core, but few people have ever seen it. Dragon Cores exist only in the heart of a High Ancient Dragon that has lived for over 10,000 years.]
[A crystal that takes many months and years to formā¦ā¦ However, is it really alright to make a transaction using this crystal that formed in someoneās heart?]
[That isnāt a problem at all. Rather, that Dragon Core really is just a small crystal. Even the Dragon Cores of colossal-sized Dragons, those that are over 100m in length, a Dragon Core the size of 1cm is already considered big enough. If Shalltear went to the trouble of asking me for a deal, it must mean that she needs a Dragon Core of a certain size. Being that Iām the largest and among the oldest Dragons, Iāll inevitably have the biggest Dragon Core in the world.]
Hmmm, I could tell that this would be something outrageous. What in the world is Alice planning to do with such a thing?
[Dragon Cores are extremely dense magic crystals, and if handled carelessly, they can be extremely dangerousā¦ā¦ but well, Iām sure Shalltear wonāt have any problem making use of them.]
[I donāt see any problem with Magnawell-san handing her something like thatā¦ā¦ but hearing you handing her your heart sounds kinda strange.]
[That isnāt a problem. In fact, handing her my heart isnāt detrimental to me at all. Itās not that Iām saying that hearts can be easily regenerated, and it would take me years to form a Dragon Core againā¦ā¦ but you see, in the first place, Dragon Cores doesnāt provide us Dragons any benefit. Dragon Cores are high-density magic crystals, so itās dangerous to dispose of them carelessly, but itās not like the existence of a Dragon Core within our bodies had any negative effects, so we just ignore them.]
This is something that isnāt something surprising, but Magnawell-san is basically immortal. Also, it seems like that Dragon Core isnāt something that Magnawell-san needsā¦ā¦ So it certainly would be a good deal for Magnawell-san if he were to trade that for a special clone.
[In fact, this clone is magnificent. Itās linked to my main body, so the amount of magic power it holds is almost the same as the main body. Iām still getting used to operating it, so its actual fighting power is probably about 70% of that of my main body, but itās still amazing. Operating it at the same time as my main body is a little difficult due to the output problem, but it isnāt that inconvenient. Moreover, surprisingly, as my main body grows, my clone also grows with itā¦ā¦ Hmmm, I have no idea what kind of technology she used to make this, but this definitely is amazing.]
[I see, I guess itās easier for Magnawell-san to act when you have that clone for it.]
[Umu. Itās much easier to move around without having to worry too much about where I walk. Best of all, I can eat and drink in this clone. With my main body like that, even though eating and drinking arenāt essential, it was a little depressing not to be able to enjoy their taste. But with this body, I can enjoy eating and drinking without any problem, and the sake I drank after a long time was really delicious.]
Indeed, with the size of Magnawell-sanās main body, it seems like he could swallow a small mountain wholeā¦ā¦ I feel like no matter how much food he consumes, it would never be enough.
In addition to that, there were probably many other things that he couldnāt enjoy because he was too big. Being too big to shop or read a book was also a problem.
[Thanks to this, unbecoming of my age, I got a little excited. It was impossible for me to go around the festival like this before, so I was just going around the festival a few distance away from the guestsā seats. However, exchanging this just for a Dragon Core makes me feel apologetic to Shalltear.]
[Iām glad to hear that. However, I wonder what Alice is planning to do with that amazing-sounding thing? From what Iāve heard, she had never asked for it, right?]
[Thatās rightā¦ā¦ According to what Iāve heard, she had been trying to make some kind of transaction with the other members of the Six Kings. I heard that she also came to Megiddoās place and told him āGive me your hornā.]
[ā¦ā¦Magnawell-sanās Dragon Core and Megiddo-sanās horn? Is she planning to make the worldās most powerful weapon?]
[I donāt know. Iāve always had a hard time understanding what that fellow is thinking.]
Well, at least, from Magnawell-sanās point of view, he was very happy with their transactions, so that isnāt a problemā¦ā¦ but seriously, what is Alice doing?
It would be great if she isnāt doing anything strangeā¦ā¦ Noā¦ā¦ āI guess it would be faster if I just ask her directly huhā.
Serious-senpai : [Finally, the Afterword Section! Wait, Author-san, what the heck is with that absurdity!? Thinking that itās something extra, you say this is just for fun!?]
? ? ? : [Well, itās not like youād win anything from this contest anyway.]
Serious-senpai : [No, no, this is the only section Iāve appeared in, you knowā¦ā¦ Even when Iāve appeared three times in the main story, saying that theyāre not including me in the main story votesā¦ā¦ A- Are you kidding meā¦ā¦]
? ? ? : [ā¦ā¦Just in terms of popularity, Serious-senpai is seriously a cheat after all.]
