Hard Work Will Never Betray Me - CH 104

“And yet with the camouflaged king of dragons, King Chameleon… ……”

“Master?”

Lily asked back to Marie who muttered in a whisper.

“The camouflage king chameleon summoned by Iris is a very good one. The Lizard summoned by Iris is the King Chameleon of Camouflage, a higher dragon species that may eventually reach the S rank.”

“A higher dragon species?”

There are a lot of different dragon species in this world. Or perhaps a middle-class dragon, such as a earth dragon. Adventurers and armies are rarely called upon to kill dragons up to this level, and although they are difficult enemies, they are not so difficult that humans cannot defeat them.

However, the upper class dragons are a completely different matter. They are clearly of a different rank from dragons up to the intermediate level.

First of all, they possess intelligence that did not reach the level of intermediate dragons. Their intelligence is said to be equal to or even greater than that of humans.

Second, their lifespan is significantly longer than that of humans. There are some lower and middle class dragons that live longer than 100 years, but they rarely live longer than a few hundred years, and rarely longer than a thousand years. However, almost all of the higher class dragons live for more than 1,000 years, which clearly shows how long they live. The reason why “almost” and not “all” is that some of them are rarely killed at a young age after losing a battle among the higher dragon species. Such a case is said to be quite rare, but it is said that the raw materials picked up by humans at that time have become legendary weapons passed down from generation to generation in some countries or by some great noblemen.

And finally. Unusually strong. It is said that a long time ago, a human in a certain town did something outrageous and incurred the wrath of a higher dragon species. Legend has it that not only the town, but the entire country was destroyed. This story was set a thousand or two thousand years ago, so the size of the country at that time was not so large. Nevertheless, the fact that they were able to take on a nation and fight it on equal terms, and even destroy it, should give you an idea of how out of the ordinary the higher dragon species are.

Iris, who summoned a higher dragon type with the potential to grow into such a terrifying being, may or may not have understood this. The person in question was happily playing with the yellow-green Leon, who reached out his tongue and licked her finger with

“Now, next is Lily. It’s you.”

Yes, master.”

Lily answers with a tense look on her face.

‘Be aware of both the ice attribute and the space-time ability. If you are only aware of one or the other, you will only be able to call upon the divine beasts that are affected by either one or the other.

“I’ll do my best.”

“Well, I’m sure you’ll be fine. Now, let’s summon it.”

“Let’s start with ……!”

Lily closes her eyes and begins to cast her magic. The ice-cold magic and monochromatic magic gushed from the depths of Lily’s body and gradually became denser and denser. The magic power is then poured into the summoning magic circle, and the magic circle begins to glow, just as it did with Iris.

The only difference from Iris is that the color of the magic circle that reacts to the magic power is light blue. Other aspects of the scene are quite different, such as the gushing black-and-white lightning bolts.

The image is from “…….”

Lily continues to put her magic power into the line with a pained look on her face.

The magic power kept pouring in for a while, and then a silhouette appeared in the center of the magic circle with a thunderous sound. The lightning stops, and this time a cold wind blows around the area.

–Then the breeze subsided, and what appeared was a puppy …… about 40 centimeters long, no, a baby wolf.

The calf barks. Its voice was high-pitched, clearly asserting that it was still a child. Its fur was gray like the magic of Lily’s space-time attribute. A light blue lightning bolt pattern runs from her eyes down the middle of her body.

, “Hello, ……. I am Lily. I am the one who summoned you.”

“……woof.”

The child wolf, perhaps a little shy, cautiously approaches Lily.

“Oh, Fenrir the White Ice Wolf,……. It’s . quite …… unusual, no, it’s far from unusual.”

“Is it?”

“Fenrir the White Ice Wolf has been contracted in the past, but it’s still pretty rare. Fenrir But normally, Fenrir the White Ice Wolf has a light blue fur like ice. I’ve never heard of a gray one.”

“I wonder if the space-time attribute has something to do with it.”

“I guess so. ……”

For now, let’s just name it. …… Hey, Lily, ……!”

“Yes, Master.”

“Give him a name. The wolf has no name because it has just been hatched”.

“I understand.”

Lily worries as she strokes Fenrir, the ice wolf calf. The wolf calf was getting used to it and was being petted around quietly, but after a while Lily stopped petting it and put her hand across its face, it looked up at her in surprise.

‘I’ve decided. Your name is Ash. You have beautiful gray fur.”

‘..Woof ‘

After all, this little wolf can probably read minds rather than understand human language ……. He seemed to have a firm understanding of what he was named, and here he started wagging his tail for the first time.

“woof woof!”

‘Ha ha!　That tickles, Ash.”

A puppy (not a dog) and a little girl playing. This is another one. Lily, in particular, is a beautiful, blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl of rare beauty, so her interaction with animals is very cute . Marie’s silver-haired little girl and Lily’s blonde-haired girl. Surrounded by gold and silver, my eyes are pleased .

…………

Iris, perhaps sensing that I was looking at them with a wicked (?) eye, looked at me with a straight face and a grim stare and a jealous look. Iris—- her slightly quirky bob-cut hair is a deep blue– –She’s also a pretty good-looking girl, but she’s not as good-looking as two of the religious mural class of the stone. So I guess she was a little jealous.

“It was quite a harmonious sight when Iris was there.”

However, that does not mean that Iris is inferior to them. Lily and Marie have their own charm, and Iris has hers. If the two of them are like a religious mural, Iris is like a snapshot of a family. There is a life-size beauty in them.

Well, in short, it’s nice to see a girl playing with animals!

“…… Well, I forgive you.”

It seems that I have been forgiven.
