Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

Hearing Zig's sudden question, Lucy couldn't help but show a puzzled look: "No, what's wrong?"

"No...Um, Ms. Barug, could you please give Lucy a full body check? A thorough check that doesn't miss even a single corner of her body."

“Ugh!?”

Lucy was startled.

Baluge asked: "What is the reason for doing this?"

"Lucy ate some dragon meat before. Although it wasn't much, the dragon meat on this planet seems to have side effects on the human body. I didn't know this before and gave it to Lucy, so I want to confirm whether you are affected. If you are, I will help you find a solution to the problem."

Sieg did not hide anything and told everyone about eating the dragon.

After hearing what Sieg said, Lucy instantly became a lot more nervous. After understanding the situation, Baluge nodded slightly: "Then Princess, please take off your clothes."

"Then I'll go out first."

"Please do this!"

If Sieg stayed and watched while she was taking off her clothes, Lucy felt that her sense of shame would really explode. She was already mentally unstable because of this series of things. If she was stimulated one or two more times now, Lucy felt that she would probably collapse or lose control.

------

Afterwards, the physical examination didn't take much time. Sieg was only out for about a minute or two when he heard Lucy's voice in the other dimension.

After entering again, looking at Lucy, whose clothes were a little disheveled and whose cheeks were slightly red, Zig asked, "How is the situation? Is there anything wrong with your body?"

"Yes, there is one place."

After taking off her shoes, Lucy sat down and stretched her left foot in front of Sieg. At the ankle of her white and tender foot, there was an area about the size of a fingernail, which had a texture completely different from Lucy's skin and looked like scales.

Zieg reached out and touched it gently: "Does it feel anything strange? Does it hurt?"

"That's not the case...but I can feel that the skin is a little hard."

"Hmm... there's no doubt about it. This is a dragon scale, although it's very fragile."

Sieg continued to touch Lucy's feet, and at the same time, the clairvoyance granted by the Dragon Slayer System in his eyes also made some changes at this moment, and began to analyze the magic power in Lucy's body.

【Analysis completed】

[The similarity with the dragon's magic in historical records is about 39.12%, confirmed to be affected by the dragon's magic]

(Tsk, is that so?)

Putting down Lucy's feet, Sieg sighed slightly, "I'm sorry, Lucy, because I was used to eating dragons before, and subconsciously thought that there was nothing wrong with eating dragons. As a result, you are now affected by the magic of dragons. I will find ordinary ingredients when I prepare food for you next time."

"It's not your fault, Sieg."

Lucy's cheeks flushed as she retracted her feet. "No one knows that eating dragon meat will affect your body and magic power. It's just like eating poisonous mushrooms while surviving in the wild. It can only be said to be an accident. You don't have to take it to heart."

"Besides, I didn't eat a lot, so I'll probably only be affected a little bit, right? Just cover it up and it'll be fine!"

Probably to reassure Sieg, Lucy gave him a thumbs up and a confident smile appeared on her face.

But Zieg could see that she was actually trying to be strong.

"…I'm sorry, Lucy."

Standing up and walking in front of Lucy, Sieg reached out and gently held her in his arms.

"Because of my willfulness, you have suffered a series of things now, and there is no practical use in apologizing now, so I promise you that from now on until we go back, I will definitely protect you and will not let you be affected in the slightest."

"I swear to you with my name and the sword in my hand, and no matter what danger you encounter, just rely on me - I will solve all dangers that want to hurt you!"

"Sieg..."

Although Lucy was somewhat caught off guard by Sieg's sudden hug, she could clearly feel the weight and will in Sieg's words.

"...Well, thank you and thank you for your trouble, Sieg."

5. The beginning of a two-person trip

Perhaps because she was too tired, Lucy fell asleep in Sieg's arms. After putting her on the ground in the alien space and asking Baruge to look after Lucy, Sieg also left the alien space and fell into the lightest sleep with his eyes slightly closed beside the campfire outside.

Time passed slowly as the two of them slept.

It was not until the sun set and rose again that Sieg received the message from Lucy again in the alien space.

"Good morning~~~Zig."

Lucy came out of the different space, changed out of her pajamas and put on casual clothes, and greeted Sigurd with great energy.

Zig looked Lucy up and down, smiled and nodded: "Well, good morning, it seems that you are in a much better state of mind after a good sleep."

"Well, thank you for comforting me yesterday."

Recalling the experience of falling asleep in Sieg's arms yesterday, Lucy couldn't help but feel her cheeks getting a little hot, but the cool breeze in the morning calmed her down: "I was still thinking in my dream that everything I experienced yesterday was just a dream, but when I woke up... Alas~~~ Now we can only wait for your friends to take us back."

"I told them to get it done as soon as possible, but we still have to be prepared to live here for several months or even a year or two - by the way, I prepared some breakfast."

Sieg handed a wooden bowl to Lucy. "Because I don't know much about the ecological environment 400 years ago, I tried my best to find ingredients that are consistent with the normal food I know. I have tasted each one myself, so there shouldn't be any problem."

The breakfast prepared by Zig was very sumptuous.

A platter that seemed to be made of several kinds of fruits, and a whole food that looked like a roasted chicken - this was not the amount that should be served for breakfast.

"If you're thirsty, there's water here. I made it with magic."

"Magic? Do you know water magic?"

"Do not."

Sieg shook his head, casually pinched out a piece of ice and put it into a wooden cup, then held the cup and heated the ice, causing it to quickly melt into a cup of water: "This is how I made the water. I could find a river, but it's not as convenient and quick as I did."

"Besides, river water in the wild is not absolutely clean. Drinking it will cause stomach upset and cause trouble."

"That's right."

Lucy took a sip of Ziggy's water.

Well, it has no taste and has no effect other than moistening the mouth.

But for some reason, Lucy felt that the moment she drank the water, the magic power in her body seemed to be a little...active?

"Come to think of it, did you carve these cups yourself? Did you not sleep last night?"

"I slept for about two hours, then woke up. I had nothing to do, so I prepared some furniture. I always need food...but the materials I had were limited, so I could only make some simple tables and chairs."

"...You are really quite clever, aren't you?"

Looking at the wooden table and chairs that Sieg had already placed next to her, Lucy couldn't imagine how Sieg had managed to complete all these things by himself before she woke up.

Is he a carpenter? !

Zigg smiled and said, "I've never learned this before, but people learn faster in special environments. Okay, let's discuss our next itinerary while we eat breakfast."

——【Next trip】

Seeing Sieg's determined look, Lucy nodded seriously.

Although they have decided to live in this era for the time being, this era is not safe. Lucy saw yesterday that dragons, which were considered to exist only in legends 400 years later, are everywhere in this era!

Even though they were all knocked down by Sieg.

"First, let me tell you what I think, Lucy."

"I plan to start my journey in this era, and look for Zeref and Belserion of this era. The former, as you know, is the most vicious dark wizard in the history of magic, and the latter is the one who guided me to find the Eclipse Gate. It can be said that the reason why I found the Eclipse Gate and knew how to open it was because of it."

Sieg naturally transferred Griffith's affairs to Belserion.

"Maybe they in this era know a way to get us back."

"I see..." Lucy nodded slightly.

Although she was a little surprised that Sieg knew the legendary black magician, but 400 years ago, Lucy remembered that it was the time when Zeref had just become a black magician? Or was it the time when Zeref had just been born?

Then he shouldn't be a dark magician yet.

"While traveling and looking for people, I will also actively kill dragons - whether I am passively killed by a dragon that comes to me, or I actively go to find a demon dragon that has committed many evil deeds and kill it. In short, I will actively kill dragons."

Ziggy continued.

"Like I said yesterday, I swear to keep you safe and never let you get hurt, but fighting a dragon is extremely dangerous, and I can't guarantee it 100%, so..."

"——Then I will hide in another dimension while you fight the dragon."

Before Sieg could finish his words, Lucy said this with a smile.

Lucy put the cut fruit into her mouth, chewed it for a few times and smiled: "If the opponent is a dragon, I know I can't help. After all, there are so many dragons, and I don't think I can keep up with the intensity of your battle..."

Lucy remembered clearly how fast Sieg killed the dragon yesterday.

Basically one move for one!

Lucy felt that she would never be able to catch up with Sieg even if she spent another few hundred years, so she gave up without hesitation: "Anyway, your alternate dimension is absolutely safe, right? Then I will travel with you at ordinary times, and when we have to fight, I will hide in it, so that I won't cause you any trouble."

"Lucy..."

Hearing Lucy's somewhat obedient words, Sieg couldn't help but laugh twice. "Then I have to carry a door with me all the time... Well, no, I can make a door myself with ice, but then I have to reset the space magic settings every time... Ah, so Scarlet made the key?"

"Zig?"

Seeing Sieg suddenly start talking to himself, Lucy tilted her head: "Key? What else do you need my Star Spirit Key for?"

"No, I just thought of a way to avoid carrying a door with me. It's settled then. Before we go back, we'll travel together in this era? We can kill some lowly and dirty dragons on the way to find people."

"By the way...don't talk about dragons as if they are just trash that can be easily dealt with~~~"

“That’s how it is for me.”

This is the power gap.

Lucy had given up talking to Zig about it.

And at this moment——

"Ok?"

As if sensing something, Sieg suddenly looked up at the sky.

Then, Sieg sighed, "Well, it looks like you have to go back to the alternate dimension for breakfast, Lucy."

"Eh? Could it be that——"

"Well, a dragon is coming."

Sieg manifested [Sirius] in his hand, his eyes fixed on the sky above.

"Besides, they are much more powerful than the dragon group yesterday - you go in first, and I will call you out after the fight."

"Oh, oh! Be careful!"

6. [Moon Dragon] and [Sword Saint Dragon]

Sieg's perception abilities are bound to the Dragon Slayer System.

Whenever the Dragon Slayer System sensed the dragon's magic power, he would sense the dragon's magic power at that moment.

And now, within the range of his perception, in the forest where the dragons lived, which should have been completely destroyed by him, there were suddenly two reactions of dragon magic, and those two reactions... were in the sky.

After watching Lucy walk into the alternate dimension and directly dismantle the wooden door, Sieg looked up at the sky: "Do you want me to pull you down, or do you want to come down by yourselves?"

"...Ah~~~ This is really unexpected."

A female voice came from the sky.

Then, two figures appeared in Sieg's eyes.

One of the figures was quite huge, and its posture was almost the same as the dragon in Sieg's impression. However, compared with the other dragons, this dragon had a slightly feminine feel, giving people the feeling of a mother dragon, and behind it was waving nine tails that did not look like those of a dragon at all, but rather like those of a fox.

If you look closely, you can even find that the overall outline of the dragon is somewhat similar to a fox?

On its hand stood a man who looked quite young, with a long sword on his waist that was somewhat similar to a Japanese sword. He had his hands across his chest, looking down at Sieg from above.

"You can sense our aura... No, is it magic? Excellent perception."

The fox-like white dragon speaks human language, giving people the impression of an elegant lady.

Sieg smiled and said, "You dragons all have a foul odor, it's hard not to smell it - so, what are you doing here?"
