My name is Rananon.
About thirty days have passed since I awoke.
At last, my body can move properly again.
So I had Ursa carry a fragment of my scale and head toward the destination.
The scale fragment is a marker.
After confirming that the fragment had stopped moving for a while, I would then head toward that location.
Wouldn’t it be faster if Ursa simply rode on my back and guided me?
Ancient Dragons do not easily allow humans to ride on their backs.

A problem occurred.
My body cannot move as well as I expected.
To be specific….
I cannot fly properly.
This is troubling.
I told Ursa I would come right away.
I tried my best for about a day, but then I gave up.
It can’t be helped.
I’ll take human form… and move using teleportation magic.
Teleportation magic.
It’s convenient, but among the Ancient Dragons it has a bad reputation, so I don’t like using it much.
However, this is an emergency.
Thanks to the World Tree leaves, my magic power is more than sufficient.
There should be no problem.

When I arrived using teleportation magic, everyone was extremely surprised.
I even teleported to a spot a little away from the scale fragment so that I wouldn’t suddenly appear right inside their grounds.
Is teleportation magic really that rare?
Also, Dors-boy.
Using a human as a shield is not good.
Girar-boy as well.
Have only your bodies grown bigger?
Well, you are in human form though.
…
Ah, seeing Dors-boy and Girar-boy reminded me of several things.
Come to think of it, I did receive the report that Dors-boy and Raimeiren had tied the knot.
And Hakuren.
I have met her before.
My apologies.
I had completely forgotten.
Well, when you get old, your memory becomes unreliable.
And I had just woken up.
Seeing her face made me remember.
I should tell Ursa to keep quiet about that.
Doraim.
Yes, he was around too.
I had completely forgotten about him as well.
The only image I remembered was when he was still a tiny child.
His older sister… um, who was it again?
Not Hakuren, but her younger sister…
Um, um… Su, Su, Su…
Suren…no, that’s not it.
Suiren! Yes, Suiren!
I remember scolding him once when he hid behind Suiren.
He cried his eyes out, and Raimeiren scolded me afterward.
Hahaha.
Hmm?
What’s wrong, Doraim?
……He’s standing there, but he’s fainted.
Perhaps he was very tired.
-0-
Oh, Ursa has come.
Well then… I’ve been avoiding it, but I suppose I should face reality.
Um… Ursa.
Who exactly is this person called Hiraku?
Your father, and the husband of Hakuren and Rasutisumoon?
……
Ah, it’s fine.
I’ve… processed a lot just now.
So then…
Let’s set aside the whole challenging thing for the moment.
Um.
Deep breath.
Let me look at Hiraku again.
…………
Eeeeeeeeh… what is this… scary.
F-for now, Ursa.
I want to introduce myself, so could you have Hiraku pretend to challenge me?
Yes, just pretend.
Explain that to him and ask him for me.
You want to see my power?
Hahaha, I’ll demonstrate it using Dors-boy and Girar-boy.
I will not fight Hiraku.
Ah, Hiraku… Hiraku-san.
Since we won’t be fighting, could you please put away that dangerous-looking spear?
I’m not going to cause trouble here.
I’ll only sink Dors-boy to the bottom of the sea and drop Girar-boy into a volcanic crater.
Since Hiraku-san tells me to stop, then I’ll stop…
The reason for my visit?
I heard there is a girl who bears the same name as me.
So, I came to give her my blessing.
Ah, you’ve probably guessed my name, but please don’t say it.
Not until you challenge me.
I have a restriction like that.
Please.
-0-
My name is Rananon.
Yes, I managed to introduce myself properly.
Good job, me.
And somehow, since coming here, my head feels much clearer.
Ever since I woke up, it had felt like there was a haze clouding my mind.
That must be why I forgot about Hakuren and Doraim.
Yes, yes.
And Hiraku-san said he would hold a welcoming banquet for me.
I will gratefully attend.
Hmm?
Is that Reginleif over there?
What a nostalgic face…
She ran away.
Well, that’s fine.
Oh, Bulga and Stifano.
How nostalgi—
They ran away too.
Still, I’ll praise them for not dropping the child they were holding.
That child must be…. Kukulkan.
Hoho.
That’s a fine name.
……cat.
It didn’t run away.
Hmm, hmm.
You’re called Raigiel?
What a lovable little thing.
There, there.
Let me give you a pat.
And then… you.
Was it you?
The one who manipulated me while I was sleeping?
The cause of the haze in my mind as well?
The reason my memories were faint?
My misunderstanding?
No, my senses….now that my mind is clear—tell me it was you.
Fufufu, there’s no need to be so frightened.
I can see that you’re harmless now.
You must have gone through a lot.
I won’t kill you.
After all, I’ve woken up.
However, I am still a bit angry about being used as a plug for a water source.
There are better ways to treat someone, you know.
Perhaps I’ll vent this anger on….. Dors-boy.
Just as I thought that, I heard Dors-boy shouting from far away that it was unreasonable.
Hmm.
Dors-boy has quite sharp senses.
…….
Or perhaps not.
He was just eavesdropping.
Just as I thought that, someone dressed like a butler came rushing over.
「Village Chief!
We’ve received word from Bulga and the others that there’s an emergency—……………………………………GYAAAAAAAH! 」
……Gucci.
Even for you, pretending to die just from seeing my face is rather hurtful.
…Ah, no.
Did he faint?
Is it fine to just leave him like that?
Probably not.
Hiraku-san carried Gucci to another room.
-0-
At the banquet, the dragon children lined up in front of me.
Hiichirou, Guraru, Rananon, Hikaru, Himiko, and Helzenark.
Hikaru and Himiko were being held by Hakuren.
Kukulkan… it seems Bulga and Stifano are making sure he won’t come near me.
Well, I already saw him earlier, so there’s no need to force him to come here.
Bulga and Stifano were also trying to hold Rananon back, but perhaps understanding that she is the reason for my visit, Rananon stood proudly before me.
Ah, no, Rasutisumoon, her mother, is standing behind Rananon.
Hmm, hmm.
Both Rananon and Rasutisumoon have quite the presence.
They look like they’ll grow strong.
And then, Hiichirou.
Hakuren’s son, is he?
He seems rather quiet.
Will he be alright?
I wonder if he might get bullied by the girls.
Hikaru, Himiko.
They’re still very small, yet they show no fear toward me.
That’s promising.
Their future looks bright.
…….
Ah, Guraru.
And Helzenark.
Nice to meet you.
I won’t do anything, so there’s no need to be so wary.
This is just a greeting.
I cannot give my name unless someone challenges me, but…
Since Hiraku-san made me a signboard with my name on it and I’m wearing it around my neck, you can see it, can’t you?
It’s an item that even the Inferno Wolves and the Demon Spiders would envy.
Yes.
It’s the same name as the Rananon over there.
And you, Rananon.
Because you bear the same name as me, people may say many things to you.
But you don’t need to burden yourself with it.
Live freely.
And also… I truly am sorry.
Yes, well… I caused quite a few problems.
Now that the haze in my mind has cleared, I’ve remembered them.
I think that name may bring you trouble.
If you wish, you may even discard the name Rananon.
Just please, don’t carry that burden upon yourself.
Well, you’re still young, so you may not understand what I’m saying yet, but I hope you will remember it.
That is why I came here.
Blessings upon the children.
May the Ancient Dragons prosper forever.

The welcoming banquet ended in great liveliness.
Though some people kept eating even after it was over.
Still, that’s understandable.
The food is delicious.
The alcohol is also excellent.
I can see why Dors and the others live here.
Ah, don’t worry.
I have no intention of living here.
I promised to help with Ursa’s work.
So, I’ll be living over there instead……
Though the thunderous applause for Ursa is rather irritating.
Just a short while ago, everyone was blaming her for waking me up.
Gucci, don’t quietly shed tears of joy!
Hmm?
Hiichirou seems reluctant to see me go.
I see, I see.
Well then, if there’s a reason, I’ll come visit again.
Dors-boy, Girar-boy, stop screaming every time!
It’s irritating!
…….
Fine, fine.
Next time I come, I won’t use teleportation magic.
You don’t mind airships or teleportation gates, right?
I’ll travel by those instead.
Don’t treat me so coldly.
If you treat this old lady poorly, it will only lead to trouble.

Great Rananon: 「Hello.」 (arrives using teleportation magic)
Gucci: 「AIEEEEE! W-Why, why, Rananon-san!? Rananon-san!!!!」
Dors: 「It’s unfair for Rananon-sama to travel using teleportation magic!」
Reginleif: 「Ancient Dragons are not allowed to use teleportation magic! That violates the Antarctic Treaty!」

Youko: 「Something dangerous is around… I’ll stay in Village Five tonight. I need to call Hitoe.」
Niz: 「Eeeeh… why did she come back to life…」
Prada: 「All units, prepare for battle! Protect the artworks!」
Versa: 「A big Rananon? Who’s that?」 (She had been a shut-in, so she doesn’t know.)
Hermes: 「A-anyway, you must not go to the village today.」

Ancestor-san: 「Maybe I’ll visit the village today for the first time in a while.」

Raimeiren: 「I can’t raise my head in front of her…」
Guronde: 「I was hiding.」
Oru: 「Woof.」 (I’m with mother.)

Great Rananon: 「If you treat this old lady poorly, it will only lead to trouble.」
Dors: 「For example?」
Great Rananon: 「I said I would not live here, but I never said when I would leave. I would like you all to remember that. In other words, when I leave is entirely up to me. If I felt like it, I could stay ten years… even a hundred years…」
Dors: 「T-that’s dirty! That’s cheating!」
Girar: 「Murmur… murmur…」 (sound effect role)
