Ifini glanced at Otono who had been sitting quietly on the side, a potion bottle held between his lips, ever since the conversation started.
"About six hundred years ago, Little Otono and the prince of the Kaloba tribe had their souls fused..."
"Wait, wasn't he just a child back then!?" Olaf exclaimed, "Are you even sparing the children??"
"Adult humans and adult dragons merging is cooperation. But a dragon fledgling fusing with a newly born child is a transaction, or rather a 'treatment program.'"
Ifini explained, "The Kaloba tribe is a royal family of orcs on the Zanro Plateau. Most of its members look mostly human, except for an extra tail. But there are exceptions, such as deformed infants born from close relatives who revert to primitive beast forms, like the Steelback War Ape you see now.
