Pan, and something light bounced. It sounded like it flew.
As the silence spreads, the sound of sighing sounds well.
"Oh man...... I didn't mean that was the trap you were looking for, did I?
Hildegard, attacked by a shadow eater, was safe.
On the contrary, it hasn't scratched one in the first place.
Touch Hildegard. No, because the shadow eater flew better.
Hildegard didn't do anything.
Exactly was that unexpected, or the eyes pointed at this one were slightly opened.
"Stupid...... I should have been a completely moronic individual. It was a story that someone with superior skills could capture their abilities..."
"Hmm? Nothing strange, huh? I would have liked to have thought that even some of me could take in that kind of character in the first place. If you think about it, you'll understand it as quickly as you can."
"... what?
I'm surprised you didn't understand what I was saying... but eventually your eyes will be even bigger and clearer than they were earlier.
Apparently, I finally understood.
"... no way, you...!?
"It's too late for me to finally realize I've been given so many tips. Though there are dragons, it's not proof that there was enough refinement."
"What... does that mean you're also a dragon man...? Stupid......!?
Although I am unusually surprised, this is rather the normal reaction.
Most importantly, if I had the basic knowledge, I would not even understand some of the dragons.
By the way, Lina didn't seem to know, and she was leaning her neck like she wasn't sure how to react.
"... I've been wondering for a while now, what the hell is a dragon man? For a moment I thought it was a kind of demon, but it's not, is it?
"I don't feel comfortable being treated in the same line as a demon, so I don't want you to stop me if you can. Well, if you look at it from the world, it seems like it will, but that's why it's even more so."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"No, not that I care so much... Hmm, but asking so means not even in my knowledge as an adjudicator"
"Uh... yes, you are. It seems so."
"You don't even know Lina's half or her guardian stuff, do you?
"... do you know that because the Dean of the Academy did it with the Dragon Man?
"You don't have to hit it, you don't have to go far."
And while we were talking about that, they recovered somewhat from the shock over there.
I could have tried attacking you right now, but you wouldn't have gotten that far.
"... I honestly don't believe it, but if you do say so, it will also explain what you did to me. Apparently it's true..."
"You can't just throw up a lie about this, can you? Of course it's not true."
"What the Dean of the Academy was doing... you know, the one where the opponent's movements unnaturally stop right after the attack, right? What does that have to do with the fact that the dean did it with the dragon man? Are you talking about Dragon Man specific skills?
"If that were the case, I'd have noticed earlier, wouldn't I? But if you think about it this way, you'll see."
Why was Hildegard unnaturally stopping his movements whenever he attacked?
That's simple.
Because the dragons cannot compete with each other.
This is not about having a decision like that, it's about dragons being present.
The dragon is a being born out of fantasy about the strongest thing a man holds.
In other words, dragons must be the strongest of them all.
There is, of course, strictly a difference in strength between dragons, and that becomes more pronounced, especially by the years of life.
But for reasons of existence, we must not compare or compete with it.
If we tried to make it impossible, we would bounce off each other because of the worst self-contradictions.
That's why dragons can't instinctively fight when they're about to fight.
Although an attack can be carried out precisely, it will not always hit that attack, and if it is about to hit, the person who unleashed the attack will forcibly erase it.
Furthermore, both those that attacked and those that were attacked shortly afterwards become physically rigid and unable to move.
This is basically inevitable because it still comes from instinct as a dragon.
"... yeah? Wait a minute. It is. Looks like there was a word I wasn't used to hearing right now...... Huh? What do you mean, a dragon?
"Nothing stays that way, all right? You know, literally, right? A dragon man is a dragon who has fallen... reincarnated."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!?
From what I'm seriously surprised at, apparently, there's really nothing about dragon men in my knowledge as a adjudicator.
Most of all, if dragon men are not categorized as human beings, then there is something about them.
"Nevertheless, I think I've been saying the word dragon for a while now. I told you about the dragon scales and all that."
"No, I thought it was a metaphor or something..."
"Damn, isn't that a lot of refinement? By the way, as for reincarnation, there must have been some reincarnation denial or something in your authority as an adjudicator, and you don't have to explain it, do you?
"Oh, yes... they do have it as knowledge... no, more than that. A dragon... really, isn't it?
"I told you, it doesn't make sense to lie."
"Mmmm..."
I looked at it with slight suspicion that I couldn't believe it right away, but I guess I had no choice.
Neither does Hildegard think it's something you can believe as soon as you say it.
Nevertheless, I can't give you any convincing evidence...
"... by the way, is that what we all know?
"I don't know who everyone refers to, but at least the Lord's parents and the king and his wife in this country do. Well, there's only a few people I know... and then, of course, I know Soma."
"... so is your brother? I don't think I saw anything like that at all... that's my brother.... Right, you're right. I understand, I believe you!
"It's good to talk fast, but your lord isn't the same..."
I leak a bitter laugh that it's really the same around convinced as soon as I get Soma's name out.
However, it is not a very pleasant situation to continue to talk about right now, so it is gratifying.
"I found out that the Dean of the Academy or someone over there is a former dragon... after all, it's only the former, isn't it?
"Basically, yeah. Even though it takes over the power and nature of dragons to a certain extent, it's basically no different than being born a strong person."
If you look at it from the world, not being categorized by mankind is something similar to an old elf.
I guess I'm just being treated as an exception because of the small number.
It should become recognised as natural if the number increases.
Most of all, the fact that the number increases is hopeless in itself.
"Well, you know what Lina wants to hear. I mean, why can't we still fight each other when we're only ex?
"Oh, yes, it is"
"That's not because, as I just said, I've inherited it somewhat. That's why I left Lina with the avant-garde. We can't fight each other properly even if we fight from the front... because we knew we were lurking demons around us."
"... Huh? Did you notice that?
"I'm rather surprised the Lord didn't notice. I was wondering if you just let it go just like me, knowing perfectly well..."
"Keh, I don't like the sign detection system..."
It's a little bit of a problem that you don't realize how bad you are at this distance... or maybe you realize that you don't need to feel instinctively.
In retrospect, when he was reunited with Hildegard in that village, he felt signs that Hildegard had not noticed.
Given that, it shouldn't mean I'm as bad as I think I am.
Though there are actually several demons lurking around, like Shadoweater earlier, it's just like Lina or Hildegard wouldn't be any obstacle, even where they've been attacked during battle.
If I need to feel it, I'm not being honest.
Even though I guess my abilities are divided into my power as an adjudicator, so instinctively cutting as little as possible unnecessary part of the story is likely enough.
By the way, I know about demons but I leave them because there's nothing wrong with them where they were and I was a little interested in what they were used for.
If it works, I don't think I can use this one the other way around... so I can say that the thought was a success.
Because when it comes to why you talk so much to Perapella in battle, half to give Lina information, and the other half to give her information.
He was trying to lay low as much as possible that Hildegard was a dragon man, in order to use it to advance the fight in his favor.
That in itself succeeded, but at the same time failed.
You just can't defeat it, because this one could have been defeated as it was.
That is why we have thus decided to actively disclose the information this time.
That way, to advance the battle in your favor.
As I said earlier, the Dragon Man inherits some of the nature of the Dragon years.
On the contrary, it is only partially inherited.
Besides, what you inherit varies from individual to individual… if you put it in a nutshell, depending on it, it is possible that the other person will be able to fight the same dragon man.
Fact is, I was doing something close to it.
Probably would have stopped even stopping at this one if it had gone on like that.
The dragon man's inability to fight the dragon man in the first place is, in one way or another, close to reflection.
It used to be, so if it still is, it's due to unconscious work.
This is no exception to Hildegard, who was also an ex-god.
Rather, it can be said that the rise in rank has unconsciously engraved it in a stronger way.
I was just trying to do something, and it's not something I can do.
But that could not be the case.
Or, given that I was able to deal with it, I guess not.
That's why I gave him information.
Half true, half lie information.
To make the dragon man assume he can't fight the dragon man.
Then we should go back the same way we did back in the beginning.
And in the meantime, now it's time to fold.
Once you win, it's not like you're talking about it.
If the more time passes, the more disadvantaged you are, then you just have to fold it from the beginning without thinking later.
Hence.
"Hmm...... I see. I mean, you know what?"
"- Become!?
While not failing to remain vigilant until now, the attack was abruptly unleashed after hearing this story and thinking about something.
Nevertheless, this one was on alert, and the Hildegard is ahead where the attack was headed.
Because of the attack from the dragon to the dragon, there was no way to hit it... and yet I was surprised to avoid it because for some reason I was confident it would still hit me.
But something truly amazing happened right after that.
Naturally Hildegard's body was stiff… it was moving unchanged to make sure it was okay.
"Stupid... you can't possibly move...!
"Hmm... what are you surprised about? I guess the reason I couldn't move was because I was a dragon? Then it's none of my business. I'm not a dragon...!
Where I insisted on that, there's no way I can erase my instincts as an unconsciously carved dragon.
But actually being able to move means that's what I really think.
In a situation that has gotten worse rather than better, the cold sweat that has flowed naturally tells the cheeks.
"... Dean of the College, isn't that a bad idea?
"It's not good... but you can't give up. They're doing their best."
The sound from the other side is still going on.
That means they're holding out.
Then we can't let ourselves give up here.
The situation is as close to the worst as it can possibly be, but not the worst yet.
If you keep thinking about your hands without giving up, I'm sure...
"... Huh?
The whining was leaking from either Lina or Hildegard's mouth.
That was uncertain, but the reason for such a leak was obvious.
Because I did feel the ground shake, along with the noise that wasn't the previous ratio.
And if I'm not mistaken, the next source of the sound is not from the sky, but from the ground.
"Hmm... Yazu, apparently you've come up with a new game"
Affirming the word, I thought I could see smoke rising like wolf smoke from a certain direction of the king's capital.
Pan, and something light bounced. It sounded like it flew.
As the silence spreads, the sound of sighing sounds well.
"Oh man...... I didn't mean that was the trap you were looking for, did I?
