Fleur's POV
"Is that the Empire? Amazing."
"More importantly, why are we riding on the back of a sky dragon, Serena-sama?"
"Is something wrong?"
"Well... why is this dragon carrying us on its back and flying? It's strange."
"The dragon agreed to carry us because we’re friends... that’s all."
"A dragon this big is a friend, really? Are you friends with this big sky dragon?"
"Yeah, not all of them, but dragons are usually nice creatures, you know."
"Is that so? Amazing."
Serena-sama is always so amazing.
I can't say I'm surprised.
* * *Serena's POV
Let's go back in time a bit.
"Serena-sama,now that we've left the country, but what should we do? We probably should have taken a carriage since the distance is quite far."
"True..."
Although I could fly with Dragon Wing while holding Fleur... Dad told me not to do it too often.
What should I do?
I tried whistling a soundless tune.
This whistle can only be heard by dragon species.
I was taught by Grandpa Bauer.
“Um...what's with the silent whistle you've been blowing since earlier?”
“This is called a dragon whistle. It's a whistle that can call forth a dragon.”
“Dragons come when you blow it? That's dangerous...you should stop doing that.”
"Aren't dragons good people? We'll be fine."
“Um...I don't suppose you have any dragon friends?”
Well, Grandpa Bauer is like family... Dad is my dad... hmm, so if I think about it, I don't really have any friends...
"No, I don't have any friends."
“Even Serena-sama doesn't have dragon friends, huh?”
I thought Nyoro was my friend, but she's my 'familiar', so sadly I don't have any...
Come to think of it, I remember being told not to call Nyoro too often...
“Yeah, I don't have any.”
As I was blowing the dragon whistle...
“Serena-sama, this is bad, a bunch of wyverns have come over.”
"Why?"
"Because they're wyverns! They're dragonkin! It's one thing if it's just one, but with this many...”
“It'll be okay.”
I mean, Wyverns are like birds, right?
Since it's too small to ride with Fleur, let's call some other dragon over to give us a ride.
* * *?Note: The text in a single quotation is in Dragon language and Fleur cannot understand it.
'I'm glad you came, but it's impossible for two of us to ride together...sorry, but can you call a bigger dragon?'
'I understand. There is a Sky Dragon nearby. I will call it for you.'
'I'm sorry but please.'
'Then please wait for a while.'
* * *"What were you doing with the Wyverns, Serena-sama?"
"We were just talking. But it's hard for two of us to ride on the back of a Wyvern, so I asked him to go get the big dragon... wait a minute..."
"I see. So, Serena-sama, can you talk to dragons and Wyverns? I don't think you had any dragon friends."
"No, I don't have any friends who are dragons. But Dad and Grandpa taught me how to talk to them using Dragon Whistle. They say my pronunciation is bad, but I can still communicate with them."
"That's amazing... There used to be a job called Dragon Knight, but it disappeared 800 years ago. I wonder if your father was a Dragon Knight."
"No, he wasn't... Oh, it's here! He said he'd give us a ride on his back."
"A s-s-sky dragon!? Is it safe?"
'#??&???&'
"Yes, this dragon is really friendly and will take us safely. Come on, let's ride."
"I see... Is it really safe?"
"I guarantee it. Please get on."
"Yes."
Fleur-san looked worried and I took her hand and got on the back of the Sky Dragon.
