Plot

Someone calls Arin a kid and tells him to calm down. Slowly, He opened his eyes. Arin felt his head throbbing and looked around to see that all those wicked meals were scattered here and there, sprinkling blood. He thinks 'What?' How did these guys who were talking so well end up lying like this? A deep voice suddenly sounded above Arin's head as he looked around and wondered. He says he saves him because he thinks that he was to be woman, but disappointed to find out that he is a man. He thinks, aha, someone must have saved him. Arin lifted his head and turned his gaze to the source of the source of the voice. A young man with a sturdy build, towering shoulders, and a strong appearance, who appeared to be well over 180 centimeters (5.90551 ft) tall, caught his eye. It is similar to the huge sword worn around the waist ―which Arin later found out that it was called the Bastard Sword― and the old-looking black cloak, leather armor, and the 'adventurer' Arin knew. Arin stared at the man with curious eyes for a long time. This is the first time he sees a pure human rather than a human form as a polymorphic dragon. After looking at Arin with strange eyes for a moment, the young man asked in a kind voice. He asked he hadn't heard of him that there was such a thing as a village around here. He hesitates for a moment and asks him further questions. He asked how it happened that he was being dragged away naked by the Orc from this place. It was an extremely embarrassing issue to ask about out loud, but it was too obvious to ignore. Ahh! What should he say? Arin was worried. What should I reply? He is actually a dragon, but that he became a human as a polymorph without adults knowing that he was naked at the lakeside and passed out after being hit by an Orc with a club? Even when Arin thought about it, it was a story that didn't make any sense. Arin thinks about what to do, what to do, ugh. The young man asked again, looking at Arin just rolling his eyes. The young man asked him again, why he didn't say anything. Arin ponders what to answer. He doesn't think he would believe me to tell him the truth. Even if he really believes it, it is a problem of its own. Dragons have pride! Well, if I turn into a dragon and gently step on this young man with my front paws and then go home like nothing happened, it will be simple and clean afterward. However, in Arin's ambitious plan to see the human world he dreamed of, meeting a human so easily was the luck of luck! There is an easy shortcut to the human world, and it is impossible to tread lightly on it. Even while Arin was grumbling alone, the young man's questions continued. The young man continues to ask where his house is, whether there is a village nearby, whether he was traveling, and where his party is etc. Does Arin know where the human houses are and what the village looks like? He decides to just answer honestly. He answers that he doesn't know. Hearing Arin's words, the young man's face became serious for a moment. He asks Arin if the young man has amnesia. Amnesia. This was the name of the disease that came up at least once in the adventure stories Arin read. He thinks it's fine. Arin's head began to spin rapidly. He thinks that no matter what he says, just repeat he doesn't know and he doesn't remember. His face contorted, then suddenly he grabbed his head. He says ugh he doesn't know, who he is, his head hurts. He was hit so hard that he passed out in one hit, and his head really hurt. Thanks to this, he didn't have to act in pain. He's a sick guy pretending to be sick, so he's quite persuasive. Muttered the young man, not suspecting anything at all. He says he seems to have been traveling with his group, and then they were attacked by monsters, since he was alone, it seems like the rest of the group is dead, seeing the blood on the back of his head, he must have hit the wrong head and lost his memory. Even if Arin hears it, it is a very plausible story. Arin nodded eagerly in agreement. The young man said, throwing some clothes he could wear out of his backpack. He says his name is Rake, and he asked he couldn't remember his name. He answered quickly because he didn't want to be called by a different name. He answered he didn't know anything other than Arin. As expected, this disease called amnesia is really easy. If he says just doesn't know, ugh, his head hurts, the other person doesn't have any suspicions! Of course, the real reason Rake didn't suspect anything was entirely due to Arin's appearance. He has a cute face like a girl, shiny hair down to his waist. Thin and white arms and legs that don't look dangerous at all. And, besides, the first time he met him, he was being captured by the orcs naked. How paranoid would he have to be to suspect something like this? Well, Arin, he thinks it's just because his acting is excellent. Rake says he thought he was a woman, but that only his luggage had been increased. Rake grumbled for a moment as he watched Arin getting dressed. He then organized his backpack as if she had no choice. Although he was a wandering mercenary, he wasn't a heartless person who would just abandon a young boy who had lost his memory and even stripped naked in the dragon's territory. He tells him that he should just wear those clothes, they don't fit you anyway. Rake's size was so large that even though it was baggy for Arin, it wasn't usually baggy. He forcibly fastened it with his belt, pulled up his pants, rolled up his arms, and roughly put them on his body. Rake continued. He says he takes him to the trading city of Lael, and there is someone he knows who will help him find his memory, even if he finds it, he will be able to eat and live, because he is busy on the way to go. He says yes. It's a little different from the plan, but isn't it okay to just go to the destination? Arin nodded and happily walked through the mountains, following Rake.

Gaianes Empire, located in the central part of the continent and the Six Nations Alliance of Heid, located in the west, located on the border between the two regions is a great mountains range, the Lartead Mountains. However, even though the border was adjacent, the two countries had to travel a long distance to trade by sea to avoid the mountain range. An ancient Red Dragon that's lived for over five millennia. Karstein de Red. The Lartead Mountains were his cozy home, and Karstein would not allow humans to invade this place. Thanks to this, it has been a thousand years since humans stopped visiting this place. A woman's sharp voice was now ringing high in Karstein's cave. The human shape shouts that Mr. Karstein kept egging him on, so he does that, and asks that just why did he give a book of spells to a child. A solemn reply came back. He says she thinks he gave him the book, Karsenian, that rascal stole it, after he has done for him, ehhh. A beautiful woman with long red hair called Karsenian to glare with anger. She then glared at the dragon in front of her. He was a huge Red Dragon, hundreds of times the size of a human being, with most of his body submerged in the vast lava lake that existed in front of her. Karsenian says that it's not, and who's the rascal, and asks to Karstein that he would have done such a thing if he hadn't egging him on. Karstein says hee asked him to tell a story from the past, so it isn't wrong to tell him about the old days, she make it sound like he really egged him on, to think that rascal was born into their Red clan, he's a disgrace to them all. Karsenian screams in annoyance that what does he mean, a disgrace to them all. Karstein says oh, come on, he's the first dragon in history to run away from home, it really will go down in history. Karsenian's expression becomes even more distorted at Karstein's words. Karsenian shouts he is being sarcastic right now, he isn't worried about Arin. Karstein says hmph, he won't let that rascal get away with this once he comes back, how dare he steal his possession. Karsenian says he is just a dragon with dementia who's been moping away deep in the mountain ranges for the pas thousand years, what's so wrong about taking one book. Karstein angry because he heard that he's a dragon with dementia, so he says to Karsenian that how dare she disrespect her elders, no wonder Arin is a troublemaker, he takes after her. She says to him that what he did say. Judging from the conversation, the woman named Karsenian must have been Arin's mother. In other words, it is a Red Dragon. Karstein de Red. A dragon who has received the title of Ancient Dragon. Although he has controlled a lot of his temper over the years, he's also a Red Dragon. A leopard doesn't change its spots, its innate personality is hard to change, and Red Dragons are famous for being impatient, ferocious, and ferocious. Once they get angry, they don't judge the profit and loss. A red dragon who first kills a person and asks itself why it killed this, although the red dragons has been purified by many years and exchanges of wisdom, their nature still remains. These two red dragons have even come to such a conversation, this quiet and peaceful Lartead Mountains must soon be engulfed in flames, but fortunately that didn't happen. At this time, someone comes to them and says now, now, calm down, they too. Next to them, the Red Dragon King, who's the Red clan representative, is standing beside them. However, as the conversation progressed, the Red Dragon King had no choice but to intervene as the two dragons would come out to fight and see each other because even if there was an absolute god, not the Red Dragon King, standing next to him. The Red Dragon King tells both of them to stop. Through the intervention of the Red Dragon King, the atmosphere calmed down for the time being. When dragons fight among themselves, it is usually difficult to stop them. The Red Dragon King continued speaking while sighing in relief. The Red Dragon King says he'll deal with Arin himself, honestly, he's flustered, this has never happened before, when he returns to his original form, he'll sense his transformation. However, Karsenian sunk in grief. Karsenian asks he's only a 300-year-old chlid, it will really be all right. In fact, Karsenian have lots of worries. The dragon's body itself is sold as the highest-priced piece of equipment among humans. An inexperienced young dragon like Arin has a high chance of losing its life. There would be no bone head humans who would dare to attack an old dragon like Karstein, but if it was a dragon like Arin, it could be lost by experienced adventurers. Karsenian cries and says she's tearing up just thinking about her poor Arin, who must be struggling in the human world right about now. The Red Dragon King gently comforted Karsenian and says Arin will be just fine, his body is already as big as an adult dragons. Karstein says because he was an obese dragon, and Breath sarcastically said that he was at the level of 300 years old. Karstein grumbled quietly. It seemed to be timid revenge for the thing called Dementia Dragon earlier. Karsenian's brow furrowed. She gets angry and asks what's wrong. The 9th circle magic, Hellfire, began to burn at her fingertips. He asks what he did say wrong. Flame breath began to burn from Karstein's mouth. If the two clashed like this, half of the Lartead Mountains would become the home of slash-and-burn farmers. He yells at them both to stop. The Red Dragon King spoke firmly as he forcibly separated the two. He tells them that he will solve it, so please don't do anything to them both.

Port city Lael. A major city with a population of 100,000 people, located at the edge of the Lartead Mountains. One of the top commercial cieits in the Six Nations Alliance of Heid. The main business of this city was, of course, trade between the Empire and the Six Nations Alliance of Heid, but it also held a very important diplomatic position within the Allied Powers. This is because the only way to get from the Batran Kingdom, one of the Six Nations Alliance, to the Karsel Kingdom, where the trading city of Lael is located, was through the Hanan River, which flows between the two countries. Of course, it's not that there are no land routes, but no one would think of using land routes. This was because the Al kreed Mountains, which formed the border between the Batran Kingdom and the Karsel Kingdom, were the habitat of the terrifying Red Dragon Karsearin, synonymous with fear. And currently, the 'dreadful Red Dragon Karsearin' was busy following the human youth and looking around. Arin keeps looking around and shouts ooh, wow, whoa, and amazing. The human race he longed to see is teeming everywhere, as if they were pressed out with bread mold. There were a lot of humans, there were many houses, there were clothes hanging on sticks (which Rake taught that it was called a tent), and there were things that Arin couldn't figure out how to use. He shouts wow. He thinks even before he lost his memory, he seemed to have lived in a fairly remote place. Clicking his tongue inwardly, Rake kindly taught him that this place was called the 'Market'. Well, since the dragon doesn't have to go to the grocery store to prepare dinner, nor can he live in a place like a house, he just looks strange. Dragons clearly divide their respective territories, even between parents and children. Arin's mother, Karsenian, also doesn't live in the same area as him and leads a completely independent life. Of course, if it is the territory of the same clan, there are cases where you can go in and do your own business after asking their permission. That's because the lazy dragon clan rarely causes trouble by entering other's territory. If you are so lazy, there are many cases where you sleep for 20 to 30 years every time you sleep. Humans sometimes misunderstand that because it's a dormant period, but it's just that oversleeping is a bit excessive. Anyway, Arin continued to look around him. He says hehe. Unlike his lair, the buildings are tightly packed together. (It seemed like a store.) People crowded together, holding something in their hands and chatting enthusiastically. (Rake explained that this is a highly arithmetic expression of soliciting customers.) People come and go in front of them, busily arguing with each other. (It was further explained that this was the scene of a fierce struggle in life to reduce the price of goods.) Once again, Arin was impressed. Arin thinks that, as Mr. Karstein said, humans like to group together.
