In the western sky, I saw something like a black bird with big wings flying.
"It's gradually getting bigger."
As you get closer, not only its size but also its shape becomes clear.
Its wings are bat-like, with wings on its back.
"And apart from wings, it also has arms."
It has an elongated neck and a crocodile-like face, but it also has ears and horns.
Its antlers are branched many times along the way, and are shaped like stag antlers, but like stags, they are not several times the size of the face, but are almost the same size as the face. It was only long.
Also, on the back of the torso, there are legs that look powerful, and between them, a tail that is thicker than the legs extends long.
Its body is covered with scales, and its back has two vertical wavy projections.
From the back of the head to the back to the tail, the protrusions were different in size, but had a number of similar shapes lined up.
"It's clearly a dragon from its shape."
The dragon circled once above Junesteen and the others.
Because the distance is quite close, the neck, torso, arms, wings, legs, and tail can be seen circling.
If you look at it, its tail is half as long as its total length.
Considering the torso, neck and head, the ratio of tail: torso: neck = 9:7:2.
After circling in the sky, the dragon slowly descends.
When the dragon slipped a little sideways in the sky, it swooped down a little further away from Junesteen and the others.
This time, it was walking slowly and approaching, but it made a loud noise every time it put its foot on the ground, but it was smaller than the 10 meter class monster from earlier, and it made a heavy sound. not
The weight of the dragon that flies in the sky and the monster that walks on the ground seems to differ greatly.
The dragon seemed to aim for a place where Junesteen and the others would not be affected by the wind pressure when he descended to the ground.
The dragon that swooped down stood on its two legs, and its tail was pointed upwards so that it would not touch the ground, and the tip of the tail was pointed upwards in a light arc.
The dragon approaches Junesteen and the others.
"It looks like you managed to beat it. "It looks like you were able to use the weapon you made last time."
Junesteen's words came through, but they weren't being conveyed as sounds, but rather as if they were voices in my head.
The owner of that voice was emanating from the black dragon that just descended.
"Ah, Kokuryu-san. I was able to defeat what I could, but when I took off the rifle, I got help from Ange and Camus, and finally removed it, so it can be used for sniping like this time, but it soon turns into close combat. In that case, you may not be able to use it for a while."
When Junesteen honestly spoke about the rifle's evaluation, Kokuryu blinked several times.
"Hmm, is that what it is? "With that power, it looked like I could defeat him, but was there a problem with that?"
Black Dragon knew the power of Junesteen's rifle.
He had witnessed the test fire before, and was familiar with the penetration power and power at that time.
He knew that he was overwhelming in terms of power alone, but he couldn't necessarily use it in any battle.
All things have their own strengths and weaknesses, so not all tools can be used universally.
Try using it, identify its strengths and weaknesses, and consider how to use the strengths and compensate for the weaknesses.
This can be said not only for things, but also for people, and Junesteen is adept at discerning such things.
For a dragon who lives almost forever, seeing the ingenuity of people who have only a short lifespan in their finite lives may be a kind of entertainment that fills the boredom of living in eternity. unknown.
For a black dragon who can't change its expression much, the blink of an eye, which can be said to be a graceful expression, is used to communicate with a few people.
Junesteen is an ability that Black Dragon himself has acquired over many years of contact with people, because of his association with Black Dragon, his blinking is often used when he comes into contact with people and when he talks. I'm thinking of doing it.
At times like that, Black Dragon seems to be happy when I tell him his thoughts, so Junesteen himself talks to organize his thoughts.
"That's right. It can be used in limited battles, but battles aren't always the same, and besides, if there are hundreds of small monsters about 1 meter in size, this weapon will be useless. Rather, in such a case, I think it would be more convenient to use magic, or if it's a close combat, a sword would be more convenient."
``Isn't it due to the battlefield that is set, as you often say? "Isn't it necessary to sort out all the data, such as the number of people my size, people smaller than you, and the number of opponents, and think about how to give the best blow to the opponent?" "That's why I checked the weapon's performance, so it's fine, isn't it?"
"That's right."
Saying so, Junesteen was convinced.
``If you can't attach it to a powered suit, why don't you prepare a special cart for it? "Even if you don't attach it to your powered suit, if you put it on the bed of the cart and move it around, it can be used by people other than you."
"That's right. It's also a hand. I was thinking of using it by placing it on the ground, but that method might be interesting."
Junesteen seemed to find it interesting after hearing Black Dragon's proposal.
As he put his hand to his chin to consider the proposal, he saw in front of him a head of white hair.
The head, which belongs to Arialeesha, looks up at the black dragon in front of Junesteen, as if to deflect his body.
Junesteen looks at it curiously.
