Subaru:  “Setting aside the tales from our Dear Guest’s homeland… What did you think of the stories of this land?”

Subaru:  “Let’s see… I suppose the one that stood out was the dragon one in the middle of the book and the witch one at the end. No matter how I slice it, those two are different somehow.” Subaru gave a wandering reply as he browsed the book.

Subaru:  “The witch story was like…they felt they had to put it in but they went halfway. It completely ignored story structure…like a bunch of highlights.”

Ram:  “…That cannot be helped. We are in Lugunica… Of course the dragon story gets special treatment.”

Subaru:  Subaru nodded as he flipped the pages of the picture book on the desk. “Right, ‘Dragonfriend Kingdom of Lugunica,’ right? Now I get why it’s called that.”

Subaru:  Apparently the large kingdom Subaru was staying in was called the “Dragonfriend Kingdom of Lugunica.” On world maps, it looked like the easternmost nation in the world, but apparently it had good reason to be called the “Dragonfriend Kingdom.” It was a simple tale, really. Long ago, the kingdom had come under the protection of a dragon, forming a pact.

Subaru:  “The dragon is said to have lent its power to Lugunica, protecting it in times of famine, plague, war with other nations, and other various predicaments.”
gpt
Subaru:  “So that’s why they call it ‘Dragonfriend,’ huh. It did say in the picture book that the royal family made a pact with the dragon. This is less of a fairy tale than ancient history, right?”
human
Ram:  “I suppose so. It’s a true story, after all. Even now, the dragon protects the peace of this land from under a great waterfall far away until the day its promise to the royal family comes to an end.”

Subaru:  Subaru cleared his throat as he listened to the oh-so-strict Ram speak such words.

Subaru:  “Hey, the family that made the promise with the dragon…didn’t it just die out?”
gpt
Ram:  “It did, and suddenly at that.”
human
Subaru:  “Isn’t that, like, bad? Er, not that I’d know what bad means here.”
gpt
Ram:  “No one knows what the dragon seeks, so it was not put in the picture book. Only gods know what the dragon will do in this situation…” At that point, Ram paused for a moment.
