' it's so nice of you to join our party, can I please get your name'
' it's Tremious.'
The both of them spoke to each other in a very casual manner, while here was I trying to breathe properly.
I don't know what was going in that dragon's head but somehow he decided to not kill us.
Normally when a creature disturbs a dragon , they are always killed. And sometimes even if your face wasn't to their liking, they would still kill you. To dragons, any other species was nothing but an object that disturbs. As if like, no creature was worth of their time.
'so...what is this journey about?'
Tremious the red dragon had asked the question that I have been meaning to ask that morom from the beginning.
' you will see, just wait till we get our next companion'
'next companion? Is it again going to be something difficult again?'
'....'
Dermis took a moment to reply to me and that enough send chills down my spine. Don't tell me, he will again go for something foolish. Is it going to be a witch!?
'A demi human'
'oh'
I gave a sigh of relief as we started to walk away from the dragons layer.
A demi human is a species who was an animal and a human at the same time. They live a longer life than elf. It was 30,000 years. They were a creature that had a similar mana income to an elf and were the easiest creature to convince. If it were a witch instead I was gonna leave this fellow immediately.
'why do you want a demi?' Tremious asked
It was very astonishing to see how well Tremious was following to whatever Dermis said. A dragon is a prideful creature after all. Perhaps this fellow was a little different.
'there is not a particular reason for it, we just need to find a demi'
'if you want a demi so bad, I know a place where you can find one'
'oh really!!? Thank you Tremious'
***
We walked and walked until we reached a particular place in the dragons layer. I frowned when I saw that place and the first thing I said was...
'how is there such a green place in this dragon layer?'
There was a green circle in the midst of the dead land. The size of the green circle was about the size of a ordinary house. Amidst the green field, there was a small hut.
'I have been given a job to kick that demi out of this place but somehow she bought this land from the yellow dragon's head and started living here. She sure does give me a headache. All the yellow dragons in this residence filled a companion against her.'
***
"Knock, knock"
' uffff! Don't tell me that stupid dragon is here again...oh...hello'
The girl paused for a second.
The girl had long pink ears with a long straight violet hair. She was a little shorter than me and her ears seemed to be that of a rabbit. She was surprised to see us, well I couldn't blame her, seeing another creature in this dead land is quite a miracle.
'ufff! you stupid dragon, you're here too, what now?! Which dumb idiots filled a complain against me this time!?'
'you have 15 complains but that's not what I'm here today'
Tremious blurted out coldly while glancing at me and Dermis.
'oh...please come in...'
We all awkwardly got inside and the inside of this hut was cozier than I expected. It was a whole contradiction to what the view outside was. We all sat down and as always Dermis was the one to speak first.
'please join our party and go on a journey with us!'
***
It was another usual day when there was a knock heard in my door. As always that stupid dragon had come. I annoyingly opened the door to see two pretty elves. Quite few questions ran through my head, why were they here? What would an elf want from me.
' please join our party and go on a journey with us!'
'hmm??.....why?' I frowned and asked.
***
This girl seemed to have a common sense at least. Honestly I would like her to be in the party, it would be a real help if someone with a brain had joined. She seemed very smart.
'umm, to that I say...do you have anything better to do' Dermis said nervously.
Honestly I was enjoying this, to finally see the stubborn fool to be cornered like this.
'well not really...it's been few millennial years I've been rotting here'
'then you should join us!'
'calm down a minute, that enough is not a reason for me to join a party full of people I don't trust. I don't know any of you:
'oh....yes....'
I was smiling ear to ear watching Dermis, it felt like I had achieved something so great.
'then what can we do to make you join?'
'eh...are you trying to make an offer?'
'yes, we are willing to do anything'
The girl frowned and thought for a moment deeply then she glanced at us again.
'i will join you if you bring me something'
'oh yes! Please say what you want'
'get me a yellow dragon's scale'
'...?..'
"Pfft" 'don't tell me, do you really believe in that myth' Tremious mocked.
I knew what they were talking about. There was a rumor circulating amongst humans that eating a dragons scale would make one immortal. It was a very childish myth, but to everyone's surprise that rumor had reached the ears of other creatures as well. Many creatures tried to get dragon's scale and the outcome of it wasn't very good. I would say approximately 10,000 creatures had lost their lives because of this myth. Does this demi believe in it.
'the way I use it, is up to me. Just do me this job and I'll join your party.'
This certainly wasn't an easy job. There's no way a dragon would just give their scale so easily just because we asked for it. All the scales in a dragons body is filled with an enormous amount of mana. And dragons made sure to not lose any scales , not to mention it also must hurt like hell to remove a scale it was maybe like pulling off your skin. I was about to tell Dermis to not take the job when .
'we will do it!'
'why? Let's just find another demi!' I said frustratedly.
' she's right...even for me, it would a difficult job, not to mention it's a yellow dragon's scale. They are quite greedy'
'even so, I have a plan'
We all looked at Dermis , who again had a proud look on his face. I don't know in which day I might punch that face.
'but we also need your help Miss. Demi'
' I'm Kyoko, I don't want to involve myself in your plan though'
' you don't have to do much... Just one thing'
