"Hey, were you talking about them, are not you?"

As I said so, I looked at what Nina pointed out and I was shocked.

"that……Is that a human? "

"In a figure that looks like me, with a round ear, I live in a stone nest. You have it? "

Proudly stand up with a pointed ear and stand up, Nina stretches her thin chest. Certainly, there was no mistake in what she said.

Do you... Do you have any other...Besides, is there no human being living a different life with similar appearance? "

"I do not know that much, but the way I live is roughly similar."

Well, I guess that would be the answer that returned.

I again looked at the sight that Nina showed.

It can be seen from a small hill, it was a cave open to the mountain.

It is just about to go hunting, a few men come out of it with a spear made by binding a stone at the tip of a stick. Neither they nor the girls who watch them are dressed just like wearing the beast's fur. The number of people living will be at most dozens. Far from being a village, there are living of primitive people who do not even deserve to call a village.

Dear lord.

Magic exists, the dragon runs in the sky, the mystery breathes, the fairy lives.

It is such a world that I can only say as a fantasy, so I was thinking unconsciously that there is a civilization about medieval Europe.

But that was a big mistake.

If you think carefully, it is a fantasy, so the values ​​of medieval Europe are the novels since entering the modern era ......It's just a setting that is common for something called so-called light novel.

It may be that I am thankful that the creatures of human type who can communicate with each other were properly in place. If it was a world with only molluscs like slime, I would have been desperate.

……However, I wish.

In spite of this, I take a deep breath.

"Wait, stop, you burn me ?!"

Then Nina jumped out greatly while protecting his head with both hands.

"Oh, sorry, sorry"

I hurriedly close my mouth.

It has been 10 years since becoming this body, yet I did not get used to it.

To the body of the dragon, all the exhaling breath is flame.

"For the time being, I'd like to talk to him ..."

"Oh, are you going?"　They do not understand and they are ferocious? "

When I muttered by correcting my mind, Nina advised me as if he was puzzled.

"Well, I guess that, maybe. Will Nina wait here? "

When I widen the wings widely, I jump up to the sky at a stretch.

To the caves of humans, it is estimated to be a few kilometers by reason.

Because the body itself has changed, I am not confident in distance and time interval at all, but I get down in front of the cave without taking less than a minute.

A small girl who happened to appear at the entrance caught up and screamed, looking up at me.

"Oh, all right, my daughter. All right, I'm a good dragon. Never mind human beings. "

ENEMIES

Spears flew away from all directions like shielding my words.

I see. Surely it may not be reasonable for them to be said to be ferocious. I think while watching the spear being scaled.

"There is no hostility here. I wonder if you do not attack. "

"Escape! "

As I said slowly more, the man who threw a spear cried out. Women take escape into the cave with their children. No, I was in embarrassment.

"I do not want to fight here. [わかる] /understand/see/find/realize/prove/turn out (vt)/

While pushing my breath as much as possible, I push the spears that fell to the ground with my nose in front of them. I hope this will make you realize that there is no hostility.

Although the men were looked at as though they were puzzled, they took a spear in the state of terrible scary.

"You guys have nothing to say yet ...."

Looking at it, I was convinced that way. There are short words, such as an order. Attack attacking, or run away. However, there are no languages ​​that have more complex interactions yet.

In addition, the attacks just came down with a simple stone spear. At least nothing else can use magic like elves are not here.

"Sorry to surprise you"

As I thought that I would not be able to communicate, I said that and soared again in the sky.

"How was it?"

- Negative. I can not make myself understood at all. "

- Haa! I told you

Ninna smiled smily for some reason to me, shaking his head.

"I thought I was able to meet a human being ..."

"So do not blow a fire!"

Oops, I got it. I also sighed.

"Sorry Sorry. It's just a breath for me .... "

"You can not burn the forest inadvertently"

Ninna gets angry with punching while handing his hand on her back.

"Let's get drowsy soon, let's sleep well today."

When she said that, she extended her arms, trees naturally lowered that branch. It's magic of elves. Nina removes the clothes he was wearing as if it is cowardly, and lies down in the bed of leaves of the trees.

"Do not stop at Hasatanai"

She does not hide her body lying down, and its pure white skin glares at eyes. Is she looks like a little ten years old? Although it is still immature, it is an age of difficulty in the eyeballs.

"So, what is that, Harushitanai?"

That's what I said, I will endure the answer as usual.

There is no concept of elusiness in elven language. In the first place, there was no word of being embarrassed. For them, clothes protect the body from heat and cold, nakedness is not ashamed.

Are you...? Go answer it!

"Yes, well ..."

Heading toward her while not seeing her limbs as much as possible, extending both arms towards this, I surrounded her bed with a tuna roll.

My body as a fire dragon seems to be warm and pleasant. I do not feel bad whether I will inadvertently breathe out while I am asleep.

However, when I encountered humans, I noticed one thing.

That means that elves' lives are not much different from them. Speaking of the forest tribe, I hear it, but I do not make a house, so I sleep in a tree like this, I live life taking forest beasts and tree nuts. If it says it is hunting and gathering. I do not mind until now because it is hard to imagine an elf to make a field and keep a cow, is not she a primitive man?

Of course, they can manipulate the trees with magic, listen to their voices, and have them divide the fruits They can live quite stable even in such a life. However, it seems that it rather hinders the development of civilization. There is no ingenuity or progress as it can live if there is only forest. I even thought that human beings who developed civilization would destroy them.

And that also applies to myself. Dragon is strong until abnormal. I do not have any difficulties in hunting prey and there are no foreign enemies. It is probably the top of the ecosystem. However, the life is still only what was supported by hunting. It is not civilized.

What on earth is it ----

At that time, the idea in my mind flashed as if it was Tenzhu.

"School!"

"What, is that!?"

The word that was supposed to have only been thoughtful in my mind was sticking out with excitement, and Nina raised his eyes black and white.

"I'm a coward, Nina. I'm going to make a coward. "

Of course there are no words in school in elven language.

But I am crazy and I will tell her what I think.

That is long, long ...Yes, the farther I got, the ridiculously long story began.
