Chapter 98: The Dragons Arrive at the Count Walker Residence ①
Translated by AmaLynne
「Oh my goodness, it’s a dragon! Amazing! I have read many stories with dragons in them, but this is the first time I have met one! I’m so happy!」
When the red dragon and the children arrived at Count Walker’s house, surprisingly, the always quiet Alicia squealed with delight and hugged the child dragon.
「―――Alicia!?」
This startled the father Jonathan, the mother Grace, the sister Lise, the other sister Erica, and Sam.
Aside from Sam, who fought evenly with the red dragon, Jonathan and the others, who respected but feared dragons, were unsure of how to stop his third daughter from saying or doing anything, and in the end, he was unable to do anything and stiffened up.
Count Walker’s family is also nervous and stiffened by the dragon children, but apparently not Alicia.
She is genuinely happy and excited to see the dragon that appeared in the story in front of her.
And surprisingly, the dragon children did not seem to mind being hugged by Alicia, but rather rubbed their heads against hers and squeaked their throats.
The sight astonished everyone, including Sam.
The same seemed to be true for the children’s mother, the red dragon, who widened her eyes and nodded her head in admiration.
「―――I’m surprised. That girl can talk to my children?」
「Huh? What do you mean?」
「I mean, no, take a good look at those girls.」
At the red dragon’s suggestion, Sam stares at Alicia and the child dragon.
「My my, sure it was. Albert was a real jerk, wasn’t he? But you can rest assured that Sam-sama is a very gentle man. What? You already know that? Fufufu… yes yes.」
「*Squeal squeal.*」
「Oh, my, fufu.」
「They’re having some kind of conversation!」
Sam exclaimed, and Count Walker fell to his knees in place, clutching his stomach.
「Oh, um, Alicia-sama?」
「What is it, Sam-sama?」
When Sam called out to her fearfully, Alicia turned around with a big smile on her face.
Apparently, she does not seem to have any doubts about the fact that she is communicating with the dragon children.
「You can talk to the dragon children?」
「My, about that…I somehow understand the language.」
「That’s too easy.」
「I’ve been reading about dragons in stories for a long time. That’s why I’m so happy to be able to talk to these cute little dragons.」
「I’m glad to hear that―――no, I mean, I’m curious as to how you’re having this conversation.」
「Wait, Sam.」
The red dragon waits for Sam to repeat his question.
「Yes?」
「My children are happily talking to that girl. Don’t interrupt them.」
「You stupid parent!」
「What the hell? What’s wrong with having a cute child! Besides, I know why my daughter can talk without your concern.」
「Is that so?」
「I think she has a constitution that allows her to communicate not only with dragons but also with animals and other animals that cannot speak human language. You just haven’t noticed it because she hasn’t had the opportunity to do so.」
Constitution, she said simply.
Sam looked at Jonathan, Lise, and the others, who were still frozen in surprise, but they shook their heads as if they had no idea.
「How can someone have such a constitution?」
「It wasn’t uncommon in the past. It may be rare now.」
.
「How long ago was that?」
「About a thousand years ago.」
「………No, it was too long ago.」
「It’s not so surprising. As we dragons age, we too will be able to speak human languages. In a few more years, my children will be able to speak human languages and even turn into humans.」
The red dragon says it like it’s nothing, but as far as Sam knows, few humans can speak to non-humans.
Sometimes, some people are demonologists who control and manipulate demons, but even then, they don’t speak to them as clearly as Alicia does.
(Alicia-sama amazing!)
Leaving Sam and the others stunned, Alicia continued to happily interact with the dragon children.
