"Rafael, Rafael..."

Rafael's soul seemed to be burned to ashes by the terrible temperature, and her consciousness was still in darkness, but she seemed to see a subtle point of light, and she hurriedly grabbed the point of light, letting it burst into a soft light.

The next second, she opened her eyes in confusion, but a white-haired female dragon man wearing complex ornaments suddenly appeared in front of her, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her with a smile.

That's her mother.

"Mom... Mom.."

It was as if she had returned to the room where she was in the tribe, the small room that she had brought back from outside the tribe, but which she refused to stay.

She is the youngest child of her parents, and she is also the most special one, and she is the only dragon in the entire tribe who is red, which makes her always feel different from other children.

"Ah, Rafael, you seem to have grown up.."

The kind dragonman touched her sideburns, where the glowing red dragon horns exuded energy that belonged to Rafael, but on the other side her cheeks seemed to be cracked by magma, and the violent magic circuit was still wriggling, making her face a little hideous.

It's just that now Rafael seems to say goodbye to the pain for a while, under the gentle gaze of her mother.

"But... But I seem to have failed, Mom... It hurts so much, the other dragonmen, Mill and they don't hurt like this when they're adults... I.. Why am I different from the other dragons? ”

"Ah, you.."

The mother smiled and lowered her head, leaning her golden dragon horn against the newly grown crimson dragon horn of Rafael, and the two of them closed their eyes at the same time, but they could still feel each other's current feelings and feel the warmth of each other's current feelings, this is the meaning of touching horns between dragonmen.

"The souls of the dragons are all scorching, very hot and hot, like the sun. They are always showing the way to the dragons who can't find their way home, and they can follow them back to their clan and become a new part of that tribe. ”

“.... I.. Am I the same way? ”

"yes, mom too... Each of our souls has gone through a long journey, and Rafael's soul must be the most dazzling of them all. Your soul is so good, and you are our child, so do not be afraid, Rafael, you will definitely become the best dragonman..."

In that gentle voice like a lullaby, Rafael seemed to melt into her warm embrace at once, and everything around her kept burning, but she could no longer feel the heat, only warmth.

At this moment, another crimson dragon horn slowly grew out in the mother's trust and warm embrace, as hot and beautiful as the horn that had grown.

As the pain faded away, Rafael's consciousness gradually returned to her body, and she slowly opened her eyes, and in front of her was a round and bright moon.

She stared blankly at the beauty, the crimson horns on her forehead were slender and graceful, and her hair as red as a flame spread out in the air, as beautiful as a sea of roses.

"Hey..."

Why, is it windy? Why did you carry your head up?

She was stunned for a second, and soon realized that she was descending.

What was even more shocking was that the embrace was not fake, and she turned her head stiffly, only to see the expressionless Fisher hugging her naked self.

"Fee... Fisher? ”

“......”

Fisher didn't reply, for he was also in a state of embarrassment at the moment, and his upper body suit had been completely burned through, leaving only a few pieces of rags on his burnt red body.

He rushed to her side with his magic to help her lower the terrifying temperature around her, but before it lasted long, her horns were grown, and then she fell down, and she could only hold her all the time.

But it was precisely because of this that Rafael was able to catch a glimpse of some of the details of his muscular body beneath his tattered clothes...

Originally...

Are humans that strong too?

It turns out that the embrace just now belonged to Fisher?

It was just that the thought came to her, and her newly-grown, armor-like scales unraveled layer by layer as if the correct password had been entered, and her slender red tail was completely stiff and motionless, and then shook a few times like an electric shock.

"You, you!!"

“... Do? ”

This is a sign of a suitable tail.

In front of the tailed mate, the adult dragonman's hard scale armor will fall for it, turning into a supple and smooth appearance.

Only in front of the dragonman's most cherished companion will the scales that were born for battle be unraveled, right?

"Hmm..."

But before the tail signal could be fully transmitted through her body, Rafael pressed a dragon claw against Fisher's face with a slightly ruddy face, and then struggled frantically from his arms, in the process, she had grown such scales, but Fisher did not feel any discomfort or tingling.

Why is that?

As soon as Fisher thought about this problem, they had already fallen to the ground, and the lake suspended in the sky due to the [Gravity Ring] began to fall like raindrops, but it was estimated that it would rain for a long time before they refilled the lake.

Rafael quickly jumped down from Fisher, and without even looking at him, he took many steps back, far away from Fisher, and the scales that had not been completely unbroken stood up again, but Fisher didn't understand the meaning of these physical reactions when she became an adult, just as she was still in pain.

"Lord Rafael!"

Rafael turned her head sideways so that Fisher could not see her expression, but took the clothes handed by Mill as she walked over and put them on her body.

"Rafael-sama, you have two horns!!" Ral also pounced, and was held in Rafael's arms, she wanted to rub her body like before, but said with a wrinkled face, "Scales... Hold on to Ral. ”

“... You idiot! ”

Rafael patted her on the back and put Lal down.

Fasher and the others also came to congratulate Rafael on coming of age.

"Rafael, you have two horns, and none of the dragonmen have two horns..."

"There may be in the ancient dragon court, but they are all legends, and Lord Rafael is definitely the only one."

But it is true that since the two horns had grown, Rafael shook his palm, and the exhaustion and powerlessness of the previous were completely gone, replaced by a seemingly endless strength.

She's a warrior of the dragon race now!

For some reason, she remembered the embrace she had felt just now when she was about to succumb to the pain, and the body of Fisher, whose whole body had been burned by herself, and how much of her shirt had left...

Rafael hesitated, separated the body of her fellow dragonman next to her, and looked for Fisher's figure, this time, she still wanted to say thank you to him.

The curtain of rain on the lake grew bigger and bigger, and soon it fell like a torrential rain, and Rafael's blue eyes were only in a curtain of rain, and only the back of the human man walking farther and farther away with his cane half-naked.

She opened her mouth, unsure if he could hear it from such a distance, so she still didn't speak.

"Wow, Lord Rafael, you see, the lake is in the sky... Fisher's magic is amazing! And Fisher's skin is very red, and his clothes are..."

"Ral! Keep your mouth shut, what are you talking nonsense? ”

"Sister Mill, Farsher is murdering me again!"

The "thank you" that should have been said was drowned out in the noise between the rain curtain and her friends, but maybe it was because the volume of her mouth was only in her heart?
