Dragon Species.

They are creatures that belong to the upper rank even amongst the creatures that exist in this continent.

There are also ranks in the Dragon Species, it goes by Lower Class Dragon, Higher Class Dragon, Ancient Dragon, Attribute Ruler, Divine Dragon.

Lower Class Dragons are Wyverns, Lesser Dragons, and so forth, they are Dragons that don’t possess intelligence and move according to their instincts.

Higher Class Dragons possess intelligence but we aren’t able to come to a mutual understanding.
In addition, there also exist Dragons that use magic.
The one that Sieg had defeated in the past and is being decorated in the house is this Higher Class Dragon.

Ancient Dragons are Dragons that possess intelligence and we are able to come to a mutual understanding.
In addition, all Ancient Dragons can use magic.
It’s said that those that had fought together with Heroes, who appear in fairy tales, are Ancient Dragons.

Attribute Rulers, they are a Dragon Species that stand at the pinnacle of each and every Dragon.
As the name suggests, they are Dragons that stand at the pinnacle of their attribute and have apparently been living for several hundred years.
These are unlike the Ancient Dragon, they don’t appear even in books, pretty much at all.

A famous one is the Water Dragon in the Celia Kingdom.
It seems this Water Dragon is the Water Dragon Ruler that stands at the pinnacle of Water Attribute Dragons.
Because nobody has ever met it before, this is speculation as well though.

Attribute Rulers are, of course, able to come to a mutual understanding with us, and they may or may not be able to Humanize.
Because there’s no conclusive evidence to this either, it’s unknown.
It’s said that those born from these Attribute Rulers and the Human Race are the Demihuman Race’s Dragon People Race.

And then a Divine Dragon is one that can be said to be pretty much a creature of the imagination.
Its entirety is shrouded in mystery.

I was absentmindedly recalling the illustrated monster encyclopedia’s explanation that I saw in the past.

According to the Pope’s story, it seems a single Ancient Dragon possesses as much strength as to easily destroy towns and the likes.
But on the other hand, Ancient Dragons, on top of pretty much not going out from their habitat, because their numbers itself aren’t that many, they aren’t really viewed as problems, but it develops into a huge problem if it appears like this.

Right now, those remaining in the capital are the Chivalric Orders that the Pope leads, the Pope along with Caro, and then Alexia and me along with Aerith and Ferris.

Residents who were in the capital headed towards a Cardinal’s territory that’s about 5 kilometres away from the capital.
It seems it’s not a territory that that perverted Cardinal governs, but a territory Christina-sama’s father governs.

After we all gathered and heard the Pope’s story, we were made to evacuate immediately.
The reason is that they can’t be implicating the guests from various counties.

I ask the Pope and Caro about what they will do and, they will remain in the palace.
With the Pope in charge of the commanding, and Caro in charge of the defence.
It seems they had always been doing it like that during the war with the Demon Race and the war with the Empire.

And then, the sight of the Pope and Christina-sama strongly embracing each other at parting left a very strong impression.
So I also

“Caro”

“……Lei.
Sorry.
You went through the trouble to visit and it turned into something like this”

Caro who says and makes a slightly sorrowful-looking face.
Even though it has nothing to do with Caro at all.
I take both hands of such a Caro.
Caro raises her face in surprise but I didn’t pay any mind to that.

“You know, King Nanor.
He was saying that it’s about time to announce my engagement with Alexia and the others”

“Lei?”

“I’d absolutely hate it if, at that time, Alexia and Ferris’ names are there and yet Caro’s name isn’t”

“……”

Caro looks at me silently.
I carry on to turn towards the Pope.

“Your Honour.
I will also participate in this time’s battle”

When I say that, Caro looks at me with a surprised expression.

“Yo, you can’t! The opponent is an Ancient Dragon that’s placed at the strongest even amongst the Dragon Species! To battle such an opponent!”

“But, Caro is participating, right?”

“That’s of course! It’s my birth country”

“In that case, can I fight for that fiancee and fiancee’s birth country’s sakes?”

When I say that, Caro looks at me with a dumbfounded expression and her mouth opening and closing.
I know that I’m being unreasonable.
But I’m not able to just stand back by myself and watch even though Caro is fighting.

When I turn towards Caro and say that, I hear laughter from the side.
I look in that direction and the Pope is bursting in laughter.

“Hahahahahaha! What a delightful thing to say! I’m delighted as a father that you say something like that for Caroline’s sake.
However, as one who governs the whole country, I cannot say yes that easily”

The moment the Pope said that, swords of light appear around me.
About 10 in total.
All of those swords of light aim at and rain down on me.

Caro raises a voice of astonishment, but I clad both hands in magic power and repel all the swords of light.
If it’s to this extent then Shishou has done it to me numerous times.

“Will this do, Your Honour?”

“As one would expect from apprenticing under Sylphid-dono.
It can’t be helped, I suppose you won’t listen even if I say any more than this, I guess if it’s Lei-kun’s level then you can protect yourself”

The Pope reluctantly acknowledged my participation.
However, he was surprised when, afterwards, even Alexia, Aerith, and Ferris said that they’ll participate.

The Pope, who can’t be letting Alexia and the others participate after all, somehow tries to stop them, but everybody, as expected of having been taught by Shishou, had their way in the end.

They even made a memorandum that they will take responsibility for themselves.
Although the Pope was looking up at the sky, he gave up.
Still, I have to pity the Pope.

And then everybody finishes evacuating, and night falls.
In the surroundings, the Chivalric Orders are hurriedly running about.
It ended up with us participating under the pretext of being Caro’s bodyguards under the Pope’s order.

“Lei.
Just don’t overdo it, alright.
If it comes to the crunch, it’s fine even if you leave us and the Chivalric Orders behind and escape”

Caro says something like that as I’m looking at the surroundings.
There’s no way I’ll leave Caro behind and escape, right.
I silently place my hand on top of Caro’s head, and pat and tousle it.

Caro is making a happy-like and troubled-like expression.
Alexia and the others look warmheartedly at such us.
I’ll do it to them later.

As I’m thinking about such things, the bell chimes.
This is…….

“Caro”

“Un.
Looks like it’s here”

My first time seeing a Dragon.
I wonder what it’s like.
Although it’s imprudent, I’m slightly looking forward to it.
