However, it wasn’t long before their eyes shifted from Yul to Lucky, who was behind him.

“Lucky…”

Yul’s panicked voice rang out. He looked at Lucky, who was much bigger than himself who had become enormous with dazed eyes.

It hadn’t just gotten bigger; it was no longer cute and cuddly, but a fierce and frightening-looking dragon with movie-quality visuals.

“Th- The unique ability is gigantism.”

“… It seems so.”

Jacob stuttered, and Mikael replied.

He did not openly show his surprise like Yuri, but Mikael was also quite shocked. It was because he hadn’t thought that the little Lucky he saw every day would be so different.

“Did it grow because it was in a large space?”

“It seems so. Even dragons that can go gigantic will not unknowingly go gigantic if space is not secured. Of course, there are occasional exceptions…”

“Exception?”

“Yes. When a dragon itself judges that it needs to be gigantic, it can become gigantic even in a small space.”

“… I see.”

Mikael replied briefly. In fact, he had a lot to say. Then, from the thought of whether it was really safe to continue raising Lucky inside the house, to the chilling thought that Yul would not even be able to endure a bite if he was in his doll state when Lucky became a giant.

“Woah… Lucky, you are really cool.”

[Krr, krrrr.]

“Oo… Oh, you sound a little…… no, a lot different.”

Lucky’s voice changed from the cute, trivial cries he had been hearing so far to what anyone could see sounded like a giant dragon.

“C- Can I touch you?”

“Yeah, it’s okay as it still retains its memories. A dragon will never attack a person who once gave it its heart.”

“… Well, then I guess it never gave it to me… ?”

He almost got eaten every time.

Yul swallowed his words behind his back and muttered bitterly. Then, Jacob tilted his head.

“Has Lucky been attacking you?”

“Ah… It ate me in one bite… I mean, it wanted to eat me.”

Yul, who responded fluently to the question, quickly corrected his words.

Considering Lucky’s original size, swallowing a human in one bite was impossible. In other words, what he was just about to say could have implied that he was small enough to be eaten by Lucky in the past. Because of this, he quickly changed what he was about to say.

“It tried to swallow you in one bite? That’s strange. It can’t be.”

“I mean…”

Yul swallowed dryly, wondering if Jacob noticed that he had made a mistake. But the words that came out of Jacob’s mouth were completely unexpected.

“Dragons, especially black beastic dragon, the group which Lucky belongs to, do not bite when attacking. They mainly use their toenails.”

“Gasp, is that so?”

Yul asked back in surprise, then widened his eyes at the thought that suddenly came to his mind. Come to think of it, when playing hunting, Lucky used to snatch a target with its paws instead of biting with its mouth.

“Rather, if a black beastic dragon bit something, it would be an expression of affection. They show their affection by licking them, but if the object is too small, it can end up swallowing them unintentionally.”

“Oh my… !”

Thrilled by Jacob’s words, Yul clapped his hands over his mouth. It was something he couldn’t have imagined. In the meantime, he thought that whenever Lucky tried to eat him, its dad didn’t even notice and acted rudely.

When he thought that he was only a 20 cm tall doll, even though Lucky wanted to lick it, he kept going into its mouth.

“I think my heart will explode, Mikael. What should I do.”

“Don’t worry. It won’t explode, the heart doesn’t really explode.”

Despite Mikael’s consolation, Yul’s heart felt like it would explode with emotion. Lucky, who was already lovable, looked several times more lovable. At the same time, he was angry with himself for not knowing Lucky’s sincerity.

That little one was showing affection to him… !

“Lucky, I’m sorry. Dad didn’t know…”

Yul managed to wrap his arms around Lucky’s log-like hind legs. It felt smooth and cool to the touch.

[Krrr.]

“Wow, eck, did you just lick Dad?”

[Krrr.]

“Oh my, Dad is so touched…”

Although he was making a terrifying noise, Lucky licked Yul’s face gently. Because of that, his face was covered with slippery saliva, but Yul’s expression was just elated.

“Jacob, how do you train the giant dragon to fly?”

“When it’s gigantic, it flies well on its own…”

“What?”

Jacob looked at Lucky gliding dimly across the blue sky. At those words, Mikael’s gaze also turned to the sky. The dark dragon Lucky was flying high and free in the sky.

“Then you don’t need to train it. Did you hear that, Yuri?”

Relieved, Mikael turned to Yuri. But he unexpectedly got no answer back. He moved his gaze, which had been directed to the sky, to the place where Yuri had been standing before.

“Yuri? Yuri!”

Apparently, Yuri who had been hugging Lucky’s leg until just a moment ago, but in that moment, Yuri’s figure disappeared without a trace.

Surprised, Mikael urgently called his name, but Yuri’s voice was heard from far away.

“Mikaeeelll, save meeeeeee!!!!!”

“Don’t tell me…”

“Yuri is flying, clinging to Lucky’s leg.”

“Shit! Yuri!!!”

Only then did Mikael notice a tiny pink head hanging from Lucky’s back leg.

His heart went cold when he saw Yuri hanging from a great height. His first thought was that he had to save him right away, but he had no idea how he could save him who was in the sky.

On the other hand, Yuri was dying. His arms weren’t enough, so he used both of his legs to cling to Lucky’s hind legs with all his might. If he fell, he would die. He would die of a heart attack before he even hit the ground. Even if he didn’t die of a heart attack, he would have died instantly if he fell from this height.

“Lucky-yaaaah, Dad is dyinggg!”

Despite the earnest plea, Lucky soared freely through the sky without hesitation. He didn’t shake or feel uneasy, but hanging onto a dragon without a single safety device and flying through the sky was terrifying in itself.

“I’m actually dying, dying, Lucky-yaaah!

[Krrrr.]

“No, it’s not okay! It’s not okay!”

At Lucky’s words that seemed to say it was okay, Yul shook his head frantically. However, Lucky only lowered the altitude a little, but it seemed that it had no intention of going down to the ground.

“Ahh, I’m losing… my arm strength!”

It was a miracle that Yul, who was not born with a body full of strength, was able to cling to it until now. The strength drained from his arm. At this rate, it seemed that it would not be long before he fell.

""

“Uh?”

Then Lucky took a small bite of Yuri into his mouth and tried to lift it up, then set it down on his back. Yul didn’t miss the chance and jumped onto Lucky’s back and hugged it by the nape of its neck. It became a much more stable position than before.

“Ah, I’m alive.”

It was only then that the tension was relieved, and his limbs throbbed. Still, there was a sigh of relief. He even had time to look around.

As Yul looked around slowly, the warm sun was shining and a cool breeze was blowing pleasantly.

The feeling of flying freely in the clear blue sky without any fine dust was inexplicably the best.

“Waaaah…”

The fear from earlier had long since gone. Lucky flew a little higher as if he had understood Yul’s words. Still, he moved not too fast.

Lucky, who had been flying in the sky for a long time, descended to the ground in a graceful circle.

“Yuri!!!”

Then, Mikael rushed over and hugged Yuri. He examined Yuri with worried eyes.

“Are you okay? Did you get hurt? Do you have any pain anywhere?”

“No. I’m so nervous that my muscles look a bit surprised, but other than that I’m fine. By the way, did you see me flying? Wow, it was a childhood dream come true. I flew in the sky, I-”

When Yuri started chattering in excitement, Mikael let out a sigh of relief. Then he hugged Yuri tightly.

“Please, stop scaring people.”

“I didn’t mean to.”

“Either way. Because of you, my heart won’t last. You don’t have to do anything like this.”

His confession under the guise of worry made Yul’s heart race. Embarrassed, but in a good mood, he secretly buried his face in his firm, comfortable chest.
