(Water, water, water...)
(Wow, so much water! Ocean, you're all water!)
…………
In conclusion, after a very fruitful exchange, Otosaka Souji made a decision in his heart.
"Veldira, it's been a pleasure talking to you. I'd like to be your friend, is that alright?"
This was something Otosaka Souji hadn't expected.
Just as he finished speaking...
Veldora suddenly let out a deafening roar.
"What?"
"friend!"
"You want to be my friend?"
"You insignificant human being, how dare you try to be my friend?"
Veludra's enormous roar shook the entire cave.
The sound caused the stones around the wall to fall down.
A small stone suddenly fell at Otosaka Souji's feet, startling him slightly.
What happened?
This guy...
What are you trying to do by shouting so loudly all of a sudden?
I just wanted to be friends with him, was it really necessary to get so worked up?
Does he think I'm not good enough to be his friend?
No, that shouldn't be the case. With his personality, he should really want to make friends with humans.
Otosaka Souji pondered this in his heart, still somewhat puzzled.
I just want to make friends, is that really necessary?
So Otosaka Souji then asked another question.
"What's wrong, Veldora? Don't you want to be my friend?"
Otosaka Souji's question calmed Verdura down, and she stopped yelling.
Although he no longer shouted, his face was still full of excitement, and tears of emotion welled up in his eyes.
"No, no, I'm just too touched."
"It's great that someone is willing to be my friend."
“I’m really happy right now, Otosaka Souji, you’re my first friend.”
"Waaaaah~"
"I never thought that my great Storm Dragon Veldora would one day make a human friend."
Verudela became more and more moved as he spoke, and tears streamed down his face.
I think this might really be the first time Veldora has made a friend, and a human friend at that, who sees him as a natural disaster.
Perhaps centuries of loneliness and solitude made Veldora yearn for a friend.
Otosaka Souji watched as tears streamed down his face, tears as big as his head.
Does this kind of reaction seem a bit too over-the-top?
Otosaka Souji said it was the first time he had ever seen a dragon make friends and be so moved that he cried.
But now it's time for Otosaka Souji's friend to step in.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, there's nothing to cry about."
"Waaaaah~, I'm just so touched."
"Okay, okay, I understand, but you don't have to cry anymore, because we're friends, and friends don't want their friends to cry."
Otosaka Souji was constantly comforting the weeping, emotional Veldora.
Hearing that Otosaka Souji's words made a lot of sense, Veldora slowly stopped crying.
"Oh well."
Veldora wiped away her tears, then raised her dragon head and said arrogantly.
"Ahem, although you are just a tiny human, I, the great Storm Dragon Veldora, still reluctantly agree to be your friend."
"This is a gift from the great Storm Dragon Veldora, so please accept it with gratitude."
If I hadn't seen him cry with emotion before, I might have actually believed his nonsense.
What would a giant dragon be like when it gets arrogant?
This is the arrogant appearance of the dragon named Veldora in front of me.
The Storm Dragon Veldora gave Otosaka Souji a harsh lesson, and the content of that lesson was...
What is arrogance?
In particular, Otosaka Souji noticed that there were still tear stains near the corners of Veldora's dragon head's eyes.
Her conflicted and proud demeanor, coupled with her yearning for affection, almost made Otosaka Souji burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, cough cough, good, good, good."
"Then I thank the great Storm Dragon Veldora for his blessing."
"Hmm~"
Upon hearing what Otosaka Souji said, Veldora raised her head even higher.
Seeing this scene, Otosaka Souji thought to himself with emotion.
It's just like a child who hasn't grown up, a child with delusions of grandeur and arrogance.
According to the worldview of this world.
The Storm Dragon Veldora is a dragon species born from the genetic material of the creator god Star King Dragon.
Including the creator god, King Dragon, there are only five dragons in this world.
Actually, Otosaka Souji had her own ulterior motives for choosing to befriend the Storm Dragon Veldora.
Otosaka Souji wants to become stronger, and in this world there is another way to become stronger quickly: to receive gifts from the strong.
If Okita Souji can receive a gift from the Storm Dragon Veldora, he will become stronger once again.
Otosaka Souji asked Veldora again.
"So we're friends now, right?"
"That's right, we're friends now."
