“Am I… Am I alive?”

 

I told them to run away once, but when they realized that the fight was over, Yuey canceled the mimicry at once. Emma came running and came walking slowly.

When Emma caught up with me, she saw the small type dragon on the ground and asked me about it.

I crouched down and gently touched it.

I could feel its heartbeat, it was breathing.

 

She’s unconscious and her breathing is faint, but she’s not in a critical situation, she’s stable but very weak.

 

“Oh, it’s like she’s alive.”

“I see, ……, but that’s great, Cyril-san. How did you do that?”

“It’s a bit of a trump card. I’ll tell you when I get back to the base.”

“Yes!”

 

Emma agreed.

I looked at the small species lying on the ground.

I didn’t think about it at first, but when I was in the mood for calm observation, I realized.

The one whose down had a completely unfamiliar look to it.

 

“What kind of species is this, ……?”

 

I observed it closely, turning over the knowledge in my head.

I knew it was a species I had never seen before.

 

“Emma, Yuey. Do you two know anything about it?”

“I’m sorry, I don’t know either.”

“I’ve never seen it before.”

 

Both of them answered almost immediately.

It was a type of dragon neither of us had ever seen before.

 

I remembered the state it was during a ‘Chimera’.

 

“……..When it was a Chimera, all of the parts were familiar, right?”

“Um, …… yes, they were.”

 

Emma thought for a moment and then nodded clearly.

 

“I mean, they’re all from one species or another. But this is different.”

“Yes, it looks like a common creature, but it’s a species I’ve never seen before.”

“……”

“What do you want to do, Cyril-san?”

“Let’s not tell anyone about this. Yuey can you change her appearance? Only when someone is around is fine.”

“……. does that mean to change her to like a normal species that I can recognize?”

“Excellent, that’s great, Yuey.”

 

I stroked her.

It’s a mimicry of the gargoyle type, to change one’s perception and make them feel as if nothing is wrong.

 

Yuey understood that this dragon was “special” based on the conversation  I had with Emma, and offered the best way to help.

 

A quiet but smart one.

I revised my assessment of Yuey a bit.

 

“What about the other dragons?”

“The others?”

“They’re weak, but they’re here. Now that the big one, the Chimera, is gone, I can sense them.”

“!? We need to find them.”

 

I was so surprised that I decided to go there first.

With Yuey’s help, I started looking for the other dragons in the farm.

 

☆

 

In the town of Boisroussel, the government building.

 

I was back, and facing Rose by myself.

 

“So I rescued 31 of them. The ones that were already too late, we cremated on the spot.”

“Well, good job.”

 

Rose listened to my report, nodded, and thanked me for my efforts.

 

“I left the ones I rescued with the dragon doctor in town. The rest–“

“Yeah, I’ll take it over here. You did a good job rescuing them.”

“Though I only managed to save about half of them…”

“But still. I’m impressed. The Lindworm tried to send a squad and failed, but you took care of it on your own.”

“……”

“They’re going to be annoying for a while, but…”

“I don’t care.”

 

I turned my palms upwards and shrugged my shoulders in amusement.

 

“I’m already in a fight with the Lindworm.”

“Oh, really? Well, if you ever get an unreasonable accusation, just let me know. I’ll take care of it.”

“Thank you.”

 

I thanked Rose.

 

“By the way…”

“Yeah?”

“Was there anything …… that bothered you?”

 

Rose asked, her eyes swiveling slightly, which was unusual.

 

I got it.

Rose knows something.

And she’s probing it at me.

 

I also knew that something was “pretty bad” about it.

 

And this question was completely expected.

 

It wasn’t just a farm.

It could have been an experimental facility where the Chimera was being created.

That’s a lot of secrets and shouldn’t come to light.

 

It was completely expected that she would ask me this.

So, without changing my expression, I gave her the answer I had prepared.

 

“I defeated it. It was a tough one, and I couldn’t take it easy on it, so I burned it to the ground.”

“I see.”

“It’s a bit.. you know, for me to say it, but I killed it so thoroughly that it’s safe to say it’s going to stay like that as long as someone doesn’t use any revival magic or anything.

 

I was on the edge of my seat.

It was “just barely” considering what I’d done, but I knew I had to step in at least this much to avoid further scrutiny and to be trusted.

 

“…… Sorry about what you had to do to a  dragon.”

“I’ll get my money’s worth right.”

“Yeah, of course.”

“That’s fine then.”

 

I said, and stood up.

I got up and left the building, not letting my face show until the end of the conversation.

 

☆

 

“So, I’ve brought in a new dragon.”

 

Base Parsolon, in the dragon house.

Me, Chris, and the new small type dragon we’d brought back were face to face.

Chris was hawkish as usual, and the small type dragon was sitting still with a mysterious expression on his face.

 

When I briefly explained the situation, Chris chuckled.

 

Chris laughed and said, “Gwahahahaha, that’s my true friend. Good decision.”

“Do you think so?”

“Hmm. If you had given it to them honestly, they would have destroyed the evidence.”

“You think so?”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“But humans never grow up, even after hundreds of years. They’re still trying to make a synthetic dragon.

“Synthetic dragon …… Oh, you mean the Chimera.”

“Hmm. As far as I know, there are two approaches: the patchwork approach that my friend has seen, and the crossbreeding of different species. I can’t say that either of them has worked.”

“‘Is that what people have been doing?”

“But. Ha-ha-ha, this one is interesting.”

“Interesting?”

“First of all, it’s a species ‘I’ don’t even know.”

“Hmm.”

 

I gave a small nod. If even Chris didn’t know about it, then it was definitely a new species.

 

And it’s not the patchwork type that my true friend had seen.

“Yes, it looks different.”

 

I nodded clearly this time.

I don’t know what kind of type of dragon it is, but I can tell at a glance that it’s a completely different type than that patchwork chimera.

It’s a species I’ve never seen before, but it looks very natural as a species.

Ten out of ten people would agree that it is not a synthetic modification.

 

“More like the type of cross-breeding humans were aiming for.”

“I see. I wonder how it came to be.”

“If I may hazard a guess.”

“Please.”

“My true friend killed the synthetic dragon and used my bones.”

“yes.”

 

The phoenix horn. It did indeed bring the dead chimera back to life.

 

“At that moment the six, no, seven different types? The souls of seven, were blended into one and reborn.”

“How is that possible?”

“It’s only my guess, my true friend.”

“Oh, …….”

 

Right we were talking about assumptions.

 

“Gwahahahaha, well, it’s my bone. It would not be surprising if it could pull off a miracle of that magnitude.”

 

Chris laughed loudly in a good mood.

He was talking proudly, but I agreed with him.

 

The Phoenix Horn, the divine tool of the Son of God.

It’s no wonder that …… one or two miracles happen.

 

“So what do we do now?”

 

I looked at the new type of dragon.

The dragon was frightened.

“Oh, don’t worry. I’ll protect you, don’t worry.”

“You’ll protect me……?”

“Yeah.”

“Will you do something terrible?”

“Terrible? What do you mean?”

“I don’t know, but …… something unbarring and painful.”

“I don’t think so. Don’t worry.”

“Are you sure?”

“yes.”

“Are you really, really sure?”

“Yes, I’m really sure.”

 

I walked up to him and gave it a pat.

It was a small type dragon that had the vibe of a newborn baby, but he was still the size of a human adult.

 

She was clearly relieved.

 

“You two should make a contract.”

“Contract?”

“Gwahaha, that’ll make you feel better about protecting him, won’t it?”

“Sure.”

 

I nodded.

It’s not likely that the contract will change anything in practice, but it will raise my awareness of the need to protect.

 

I was currently at 95 out of 100, but now I was at 100.

 

Feelings are quite important, so I thought I’d try it.

 

“Hey, little guy, make a contract with a true friend.”

“Contract?”

“Yes. I want you to put a drop of blood in this magic circle of mine.”

“Okay, I’ll do that.”

 

It was a straightforward nod.

Was it because it was from a dragon, or because Chris asked?

The dragon didn’t question what Chris said at all, and dripped the blood on the magic circle of the contract he made while Chris was talking.

 

I sliced my finger a little and dabbed the blood onto the magic circle as usual.

 

The blood mixed together, turned into light, and was sucked into me.

 

After the magic circle disappeared with the light, I stared at my hands.

“…… this is.”

“What’s the new power from the contract?”

“…… transform.”

 

I muttered.

Instantly, more light flashed from my body.

And then…

 

“Huh?

 

Chris said, sounding amused.

My shape had changed.

 

I had a head, a body, and four limbs.

Up to that point, I was the same as a normal human.

But I had horns on my head and wings on my back.

The claws on my hands are also sharp and pointed.

 

Looking closely, I can see that part of my body is covered with scales.

 

Though still a human, I looked partly dragon.

 

“Gwahahahaha, interesting. If I was to name it I would say you look like a Dragonborn.

“Dragonborn ……”

 

I looked at the young dragon, who had just signed a contract, and was puzzled.

I remembered what the child looked like a while ago.

 

　A chimera.

 

I’m a human, and now partly a dragon, I’m probably close to being that chimera.

 

“Interesting, as expected of you, true friend. I see a dragon and humans breed. This is interesting.”

 

As Chris laughed out loud, I was confirming that I could switch between the forms of a full human and a Dragonborn form at will.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
