He doesn't turn into a fish.

After staring at his weak fingers for a long time, Iss admitted in frustration.

He knows Transfiguration - he can use Transfiguration with great ease, which may sound like something to be proud of, but he actually only becomes a human.

Keller Brian explained this to him. But after all this time, he hadn't even grown at all...... He's probably not as good as a fish.

He was annoyed for a moment, and then he barely bothered to muster himself, and looked at the men who had fished him out of the sea with a strained face.

The "mouse" is named Bangbu, more verbose than Tess but far less cute than Tess, except that his face looks like a mouse, he is not yet thirty years old, and his head is already sparsely hairy, and he is very obscene no matter how you look at it - so basically no one listens to what he says.

The square face is called "stone" by them, a little unrecognizable, shorter than Akkan, but stronger than Akan, so that his whole person is the same as his face, it looks almost square, he likes to slam the ground with his hands when he speaks, and his voice is as loud as a dwarf when he can't hold it down...... A beardless dwarf.

The man who almost bit off his hand was Bertram, who was only about thirty years old, and he was the one of the three who looked upright, with black hair like grass tied at random behind his head, and a half-long beard that was carefully braided like a dwarf, but his blue eyes were bloodshot and his eye sockets were red, as if he hadn't slept well for a long time.

The place where they were was sort of an island—an island where he had turned into a dragon and could only barely get down in a lump, in fact it was just a few rocks that had come out of the water. They stayed on a slightly leveler rock. They did not light a bonfire, but gathered around him not far away, while habitually arguing with each other. While trying to provoke him to speak, he did not forget to scan the nearby sea vigilantly from time to time.

Iss suspected that they had escaped from the other side of the bay, though it was impossible to determine whether they were pirates or Nighthawks.

When a dark shadow slipped across the reef, Iss was taken aback—he didn't notice that there was a person hiding there.

It was a young man in his teens and twenties...... No, that's an elf.

Iss stared at the pointed ears with some curiosity. He didn't know that so many elves would run out and mingle with humans by now...... What's more, this elf is still a woman, although because she is too thin, her chest is no different from that of a man. The sand-colored hair is also cut short, but the slender waist is impossible for even a male elf to have.

“...... Look at what?" the elf glared at him angrily. "Haven't you seen a half-elf?"

Iss withdrew his gaze without a word. To be honest, he couldn't tell the difference between an elf and a half-elf from his appearance alone, but he knew that a half-elf was more difficult than an elf - like Keller Brian.

So it's better to ignore her.

"Don't be angry with children. Gischel. Bertram sighed.

- your little ones!

Ise roared in his heart.

"Somebody's coming. The half-elf said stiffly. "We need to get out of here. ”

"There's no need to rush it. Bertram still sat there, not trying to stand up, "They won't necessarily find this place—after all, they're looking for a dragon, and there's no room for a dragon in this place." ”

Gichel snorted, glanced at Isz again, and ran away.

When there was a sound of water, Bertram sighed again and scratched his beard. Slapping his ass and standing up.

"Look, look. She's getting angry!" Bangbu grunted and got up, "that's what you've all done with her! What about the half-elves? I'm still half halfling! Do you know that halflings are going extinct? I'm so much more precious than she is!"

"Are you sure it's not goblin blood?" Bertram teased casually, "that's more precious—goblins are extinct, aren't they?"

Stone laughed, and Bomb sniffed indignantly, made a vulgar gesture at them, and turned around and ran.

Bertram stood there cross-legged, looking at Iss thoughtfully, as if hesitating.

"Can you do it yourself?" he asked abruptly, "if you wish, you may stay with us—we have a rather secluded place nearby." ”

Stone looked left and right with wide eyes and an expectant look on his face.

Isis was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "You know who I am. ”

He struggled to keep his voice down...... But it still sounds childish.

From the moment he woke up, they didn't feel like he was an ordinary little kid at all. Although there is no malice, there is too much curiosity and unconscious caution.

"Uh...... "Bertram laughed, gesturing at the surface of the sea, "we watched a little boy with such a big dragon fall into the sea, and swim past only to touch a bare-bottomed boy from the water - this place is still far from the shore, where else can you come from? It can't be a mermaid's child?"

Iss wrapped his torn shirt tightly in annoyance, and for a moment he wanted nothing more than to kill them all.

He didn't bother to get himself a dress...... Ed would roll on the floor laughing at this.

"I don't know if Alan mentioned it, but we're his friends. Bertram poked himself in the chest, "So, lo and behold, you can trust us. ”

Bertram...... Allen's Friend......

A vague memory flashed by.

"Bertram Grean?" Eth blurted out, "are you Lady Grean's son?"

He had always felt that face was a little familiar, but now he remembered that he looked a little like Behring, but the temperament of the two men was completely different, so he didn't think of it for a while.

Bertram nodded, smiling so hard that his teeth were bared, and he suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

"Have you seen my mother?" he asked him, looking apprehensive and expectant, "is she okay?"

“...... Not so good. Istan replied, "Your brother is gone...... Are you back for this?"

Bertram was stunned, and his face quickly sank.

“...... No. He said, "I don't know that...... When did he disappear?"

“...... Almost a year ago?"

Bertram kept his mouth shut.

Guilt and worry made his originally kind and honest face very gloomy, and the corners of his sunken mouth trembled slightly. But he quickly calmed down and half-knelt in front of Is.

"What else do you know?" he asked, "tell me." ”

The tone that could not be refused as if he was an order made him feel like a different person in an instant. No longer some big-boggling, raunchy adventurer...... It's Bertram of the Grayman family.

But I'm a dragon—Iss glared back with all his might.

Even now he is only the size of a five-year-old boy, he is a dragon, and no one can talk to him like that!.
