83. eting with Disciples (3)
「When I nad Rubeum, his language suddenly beca fluent」
「Ah, it is the effect of naming」
When Dion said so, I also realised it.
「…Speaking of which, there certainly was sothing like that」
I never thought about it, but now that it was ntioned it sounds possible.
「What is the effect of naming? Dion, Master, please tell 」
Regina asked with imnse curiosity.
Her honest personality of asking about things she didn’t know is the sa as it was a hundred years ago.
How wonderful.
「…Let’s see… A part of the dragon undergoes developnt when a na is given…」
「FumuFumu」
Dion looked at us with a slightly troubled expression.
It must be difficult for him to explain it in simple terms.
「Simply put, it is the sensation of being connected at a soul level」
「Hou? So what does that an, Master?」
「Since we’re speaking of dragons, of all living things on Earth, they are the closest to gods next to god-beast」
「Well, I suppose that is so」
「Being closer to God ans that the existence itself is closer to a different dinsion from this world.」
「Fumu?」
Regina doesn’t seem to understand very well.
She started stroking my head from behind while I am still in her embrace.
I fleetingly glanced at Xenovia who was in front of . Xenovia doesn’t look like she understood either.
「To explain it in terms even Regina can understand… The soul is very important for dragons」
Milt took over the explanation.
「The soul can easily pass through to the World of Gods. The love value asuring device sort of uses the soul as well」
「Hou? Therefore?」
「By naming, both of the souls get linked through the World of Gods」
「I see? So the effect is?」
「You can beco able to sowhat lend magic power」
「That’s amazing!」
Dion supplented more towards the sowhat excited Regina.
「However, the amount that can be lent is very miniscule, generally speaking that is」
「In other words, normally the language does not beco fluent?」
「Exactly as you say」
For this reason, I realised this effect when I nad Rubeum.
「As expected of Master!」
Regina started to stroke my head faster and faster.
「In this case, I think Rubeum is amazing」
「I think both Master and Rubeum are amazing」Dion said.
「That’s right, it is exactly as Dion says」
Milt agreed with Dion.
「Leaving aside amazing or not, it might be due to both of us being fellow god-beasts」
「Yes… that might be possible. You might be able to do other things besides lending magic power as well」 Milt said.
「It might be good to investigate that during training」
「If there is anything I can help with, please let know」
「Thank you」
At that ti, Dion made a sound as if he had just rembered sothing.
「Oh yeah, before I forget, I have to pass this to Master」
「Nn? What is it?」
Dion took out two white objects from the magic bag and placed them on the desk.
They were both hemispheres of approximately 0.3 ters in diater.
I imdiately realised what they were.
「Is this… the eggshell Rubeum hatched out of?」
「Yes, I retrieved it as it was right beside Rubeum」
「Considering that it is the eggshell of a dragon… it’s quite small」
Diater of 0.3 ters is about as big as a bird’s egg.
The dragon egg I witnessed in my past life was much larger.
Even the smallest dragon egg, was about 0.8 ters in diater.
If we consider the larger ones, there were even ones which exceeded 3 ters in diater.
「Although it is small, considering Rubeum’s size it seems natural」
「Yes, he has the ability to beco as large as a powerful dragon, but that is because Rubeum is special」
Rubeum can beco larger, but his original size is small.
The form of Rubeum, who rolled up into a ball on my lap, is the true form.
Rubeum is the godkin of Dragon God, the god-beast of dragons, thus normal common sense does not apply to him.
It would be better to think of him as an exception.
「At any rate, it is about as large as the egg of a dragon newt. Kind of reminds of Dion’s egg」
「Yes, it does resemble the appearance of my eggshell」
Dragon newts have the custom of safekeeping their eggshell.
Not every single one of them safekeeps it, but the majority of them do.
The sa as how so humans, safekeep their umbilical cord.
A long ti ago, I gave Dion the eggshell he was born from.
A hundred years have already passed, so I didn’t expect him to still hold on to it.
「Rubeum… this is your eggshell, you know」
「……kyuru」
Perhaps due to petting him in a lulling manner for a while now, Rubeum had completely fallen asleep.
This morning, I was woken up by Shiro and Rubeum.
In other words, Rubeum got up earlier than .
「Dion, Rubeum seems to be sleeping, so I’ll pass it on to him later」
「Yes, please」
Be that as it may, Rubeum doesn’t possess any bags or such.
Even if I passed the eggshell to him I would be the one who has to safekeep it in the end.
In order to put the eggshell into the magic bag, I reached out my hand.
As I did,
「ーOh?」
The instant my hand touched the eggshell, it began to radiate brilliantly.
