After riding the dragon, Leica, we safely arrived at Rocko Volcano.
On what looked like the other side of a mountain where humans would normally not enter, were many dragons that were gathered. You could see it even if you looked at it from afar.
âAmazing! Tons of dragons!â
âThey are biologically red dragons. They are not monsters, but classified as the dragon race.â
âIf I offend these dragons, Iâll be killed for sure this timeâŠâŠâ
I wondered why Harukara assumed that she was going to offend them, but certainly thinking about Harukaraâs life so far, it may be just right to have some concerns about such things.
âSince itâs still the initial party, everyone is still in their dragon forms⊠For now, letâs introduce you to the bride and the groom, and then to my family.â
âI understand. Iâll follow all of Leicaâs orders.â
Leica landed when she found open space. We also descended.
To put it bluntly, a dragonâs gender could not be distinguished with a glance.
The dragonsâ eyes turned towards Leica.
âLeica-oneesama, how do you do?â [1]
âYou also have beautiful wings today.â
What! This is like the self-introductions at a salon of an high-class girlsâ school. [2]
âWhat you already have from birth is not the issue⊠What we really need are things weâve polished since birth.â
Leica said something cool.
âLeica-oneesama is cool as expected today.â
The dragons also thought that Leica was cool⊠They were all dragons so it felt very surreal, but it was probably normal from the point of view of these dragons.
âToday is my sisterâs marriage ceremony, thank you for attending.â
âItâs only natural for us to appear at Leica-oneesamaâs older sisterâs marriage ceremony.â
âThatâs right. I am indebted to Leica-oneesama for the committee. Well then, since you seem busy, that is all for us now. Letâs talk again afterward.â
Then those girls left.
âExcuse me, Azusa-sama. Those girls were the juniors of my school.â
âAh, I see. School huhâŠâŠâ
âWell, although I call it school, you only study basic things there. The real challenge is to transform into a typical humanâs appearance, then going to university is the shortcut.â
âNo, itâs intellectually enough thoughâŠâŠ I sort of understand why Leica is so smart.â
âNo, not at all. I cannot hold a candle to Azusa-sama. I only have my diligence.â
Come to think of it, when Leica is in her human form, she looks like a female junior-high school student, so I bet those girls are about the same age as well.
We went and walked between huge dragons. Because Leica was walking in the front, we were at ease, but certainly, walking between the dragons without Leica would be quite scary.
âEveryone is hugeee!â
âNee-san, calling them huge may be rude.â
It seems that Furafaâs tension has risen, but on the other side, Harukara was always looking downwards while walking.
âIf-if I offend these dragons, Iâll die instantlyâŠâŠ Iâll become cinders by the flame coming out of their mouthsâŠ..â
I wondered how negative she was, but I understood that she could not calm herself down due to all these dragons.
The dragons were drinking all over the place, having their meals, but their cups and plates were huge at any rate.
Sliced meat (although I say that, itâs too big for a human), vegetables, etc. were put on top of the plate. The vegetables were comprised of five cabbages that were put together in a bundle. Perhaps, this is the sensation of a mouthful size of mini tomatoes to them.
âPlease donât go near the plates~. Because Iâm afraid that you might be eaten all together.â
Leica gave an advance warning. Yes, Iâll be careful. As soon as that was said, Harukara went near a plate and screamed âAhh! No! Iâm not food!â.
âToday the dragons inside this village were lined-up, so itâs crowded, but itâs usually a bit more carefree and quiet.â
âEeh, about how many dragons live here?â
âAround 250?â
âThatâs quite a lotâŠâŠâ
âHowever, usually they live in other mountains. Itâs not like everybody is gathered here. Even so, thatâs only the number of our kind, so when it comes to the talk of another race, it will change, butâŠâ
âThere are various kinds of dragons, arenât there.â
âYes, those guys who call themselves dragons presumptuously also exâ- ah perfect, my parents and older sister and her spouse arrived.â
There were four dragons standing.
I understood that the big dragons and small dragons were paired.
Probably the bigger one is the male. By looking at them like that, I could determine the gender of a dragon by its size.
âI have returned just now. This is my master, the Plateau Witch, Azusa-sama. Behind her are her daughters Farufa-sama and Sharusha-sama, and the elf disciple Harukara-sama.â
âI am Leicaâs father. I have heard about you. Is my daughter troubling you?â
From them, the biggest dragon spoke.
âNo, not at all. I have greatly received her favourâŠâŠ Rather, I am sorry to have intruded.â
âThe amount of beings attending my daughterâs marriage ceremony has increased, so how can you be a bother? Hahahaha!â
It seems like I received a warm welcome.
Next, Leica introduced her older dragon sister with, âThis is my older sister Leila.â I also said hello and bowed. My daughters and Harukara also bowed.
âMy husband has always been my childhood friend, but I met him for the first time in 80 years, then we found a mutual understanding then decided to marry.â
Itâs weird for the time span to be for the first time in 80 years, but well itâs probably normal for dragons.
âAs expected, everyone is carrying out the ceremony in their dragon form.â
The food costs are enormous, but it probably doesnât feel out of place usually.
âThe first meeting is in dragon form, but the afterparty is conducted in their human forms. If they are oversized, they could not be suited for small things.â
The older sister explained this to me. I see.
âHowever, itâs good that itâs truly peaceful today.â
Papa dragon muttered.
âWouldnât it would be good if it ended peacefully.â
What is with that conspicuous flag statementâŠâŠÂ [3]
Footnotes
ăăăăăă (gokigenyo) is a phrase often used by high-class rich girls. In stuff like Marimite, the girls always say this line. Basically a high-class version of âhow do you do?âHehe, another footnote so fast? Yeah. Here a salon isnât a place hair salon, but more like a place where rich people have tea and uhh rich people activities. Also the past two dialogues, the dragons talking to Leica all were speaking in a way a stereotypical anime/manga/novel rich-girl would.Please tell me you know what a flag is. If you donâtâŠwellâŠhave you been living under a rock?
