Sui

Race: Legendary Ice Dragon

I made Sui, the Ice Dragon, my companion.

Sui has blue hair.

I've never seen anyone walking around with a magical dragon, so I'm a bit anxious.

I wonder if it's okay to walk around the town, and the people in the town would be surprised if they found out.

After all, it's a magical dragon.

"Sui, let's go to the town. There's nothing to do here."

"Yes, I will go with you, Franz-sama. I feel somewhat happy!"

"Happy?"

I took Sui and went to a nearby town.

Well, except for the fact that her hair is blue, she seems like an ordinary girl, so it should be fine.

There was an inn, and first, we decided to get a room because we were tired from coming to the town.

The inn was a typical one you can find in any town.

"Will it be a room for two?"

"Yes, please."

Luckily, there was an available room.

"Franz-sama, from today onwards, we're companions. Nice to meet you. Also, I want to know more about Franz-sama. Why did you put a barrier around me?"

I hadn't talked about the time when I was still in Hero Grathias' party.

Since Sui has become my companion, I should introduce myself as well.

"That's right, I haven't told you about myself yet. I was an alchemist in Hero Grathias' party. He was a hero."

"Eh? A hero's party? I don't know who Grathias is, but for us magical dragons, hero parties are natural enemies. I think there are myths that we lost to them in the past. But why aren't you together with them now?"

"We're not together because I was expelled from Hero Grathias' party. They decided that I was useless and didn't contribute anything. So, they kicked me out."

I'll never forget that time.

They said it in a cruel way.

"To expel Franz-sama, Grathias is a terrible hero! Besides, Franz-sama is exceptionally strong. He's a foolish hero."

"I was doing my best for the sake of heroes and the country. For example, I used barrier magic to seal Sui and other monsters for 24 hours a day, for years. For what purpose? It consumed an enormous amount of magical power, and I couldn't do anything else. And then, Hero Grathias expelled me, saying I was useless."

"He's such a foolish hero!"
