Chapter 382 – The Dragon Jearl

After Shiggy and the others finished with the refreshments, Timi asked,

「Miss Belda, I would love to meet your dragon…may I?」

「Of course, I’ll show you right away.」

So we moved out to the dragon stable where the dragons were held.

And when I say dragon stable, it was just large barn with open walls and a roof for horses.

Since there were no walls, there was no protection from wind or cold.

The previous agent had no dragons, so the dragons were just placed in there like horses.

Seeing Belda approach, one dragon jumped and started wagging its tail.

「Gaaah!」

「Calm down. This is my baby, Jearl.」

Belda tenderly petted the dragon.

Timi looked over the stable and said,

「There are no walls here. Don’t they get cold?」

「Yes, we just had nowhere else to put them.」

There were few carpenters and materials, after all.

Well, there were carpenters. There were definitely other things to take care of in Elkay first, however.

「I thought it was sad as well and wanted to make a special place for them, but with Elkay having a broken gate and bridges…well…」

「I guess you’re right.」

And as an agent of the crown, she was concerned with the lives of her populace first.

Also, a strong elder dragon like this wasn’t going to be hurt easily by cold.

It was still cold, though…sad to see the dragon in this way.

「Hmmm.」

Timi seemed to groan as she looked over the dragon stable.

Even Shiggy popped her head out to look around.

「ryaaa」

She then put out her hand towards Jearl. She was interested in the dragon.

「You want to be friends with Jearl?」

I got closer and Shiggy grabbed on to the end of Jearl’s beak.

「Gaaah…」

Jearl put its tail between its legs and backed up, hitting the wall behind it.

Jearl was scared of Shiggy…it made you feel bad for the elder dragon.

「Seems like the dragon’s nervous. I guess you two can play later.」

「ryaaa」

I pushed Shiggy down into the pouch, and since Shiggy realized she was scaring the elder dragon, she obeyed.

She might have been a bit sad, though.

I rubbed her through the pouch.

On the other hand Belda struggled to calm her dragon down.

「W…what is it? Jearl? To see a brave dragon put its tail between its legs like that! It’s the first time!」

I asked her,

「Is Jearl always brave?」

「Yes. Even against strong magical monsters, Jearl doesn’t shrink back a bit.」

Hearing this Timi came closer and rubbed the dragon’s head.

「You’re brave, huh? You don’t have to be afraid of Shiggy or me at all.」

「…Gaahh」

Timi smiled at the trembling Jearl.

「See? Nothing to be afraid of.」

「…gaah…aaahhh」

—SPLISSSHHHHH

Timi was rubbing Jearl kindly, but Jearl groaned a bit and urinated all over the ground.

And just like an elder dragon, it was a lot of pee.

「Timi, leave the dragon alone for a bit.」

「Y…yes…I apologize.」

I didn’t think the dragon would be that afraid, though.

Timi frowned and bowed a bit to Belda and Jearl.

「N…no need. You did nothing wrong. It’s just Jearl’s instincts, after all.」

「No, I should have been more attentive.」

While Timi was apologizing, now Vi-Vi was rubbing the dragon’s snout.

「I know how you feel. Ancient dragons are very strong.」

I knew the Vi-Vi of all of them understood Jearl’s feelings.

「…gaahhh」

「You have to get used to them though. I did my best to get used to them, Jearl.」

Vi-Vi said, trying to comfort Jearl.

Vi-Vi had worked hard to be able to take Femm’s roar without peeing herself as well.

In order to do so, she had forced herself to stand up to Femm’s bark over and over.

「I found the strength to stand up to it. You’ll do so too.」

「Gaaah.」

Jearl wasn’t scared of Vi-Vi at all…in fact the dragon relaxed.

Timi looked at me and said,

「Alra, I’d like this dragon in a proper stable…is there anything you can do?」

「ryaa」

Seems both of them thought the dragon was having a hard time.

And maybe a little sad they had scared Jearl.

「With some clay, I guess I can do anything.」

Timi looked very happy when I said that.

「Really? Great, Alra! Do you have some dirt around here we could make a stable with?」

「Ah, yes, I guess so…There’s not a lot of supplies for carpentry though.」

「If there’s dirt, than just leave it to Alra.」

Timi said, looking proudly at me.

Belda didn’t know what was going on, but told me a good place to build a dragon stable.

It was right near the agent’s house, in the ruins of a mansion.

I didn’t know why the mansion was destroyed.

It must have been some evil plot of the so-called Demon Lord, or maybe during the war with the real Demon Lord.

We went back to Wolf Wholesalers from the place and asked Millia,

「We need supplies to build a dragon stable. Do you have anything that will help?」

「I do…but Al, are you buying from your own pocket?」

「I guess so.」

「Wait, Alra, I’ll pay for it.」

Vi-Vi said,

「If you need wood you can just ask my sister to provide.」

「I guess so, Vallimie does have a whole forest.」

「Yeah! We’ll just ask her what part needs to be thinned out.」

「Okay, then to Vallimie it is!」

「Yeah!」

So we saw Cruz and the kids inside the store as well, and then went to Lindobal to buy some wood from Vallimie.
