Chapter 87

"Alright, then let's make the crest."

After thinking for a moment, I nodded slightly and made up my mind.

"Ho, is it fine, dear friend?"

"Sure, from a dragon's perspective, it's fine to put a crest like that."

"Um, yes, that's right."

"Then there's no reason not to make it. The aesthetic sense of dragons and humans is different, after all."

"Hmm."

"Especially if we can understand each other, it wouldn't be right to impose our own common sense."

"Kuhahahaha, indeed. As expected of a dear friend, you have a broad mind unlike the common folk."

"You're exaggerating. Besides, I'm just doing this because I'm 'Dragon-First'."

"There's no need to be modest."

Chris laughed even harder.

Since the crest on the human form, around the belly, looked a bit strange to me, I subtly dispelled the disguise and returned to my original form.

"Then I'll leave it to you, dear friend. Ah, the tsundere girl seems to dislike the gift from a dear friend, so you can exclude her if you want."

"It's not like I said I don't want it!"

"Kuhahahaha, that's right, that's right."

"Please, Sir Cyril."

Emma said this, and the other dragons all looked at me.

I nodded slightly, pulled out a strand of hair, and held it in my hand, focusing my thoughts.

I visualized it in my mind and blew on the hair in my palm.

Energy was drawn out, and the hair transformed into a dragon artifact.

It took various forms.

Rings, bracelets, necklaces—various shapes.

Rae and Chanel got rings, Emma and Colette got necklaces, and Chris got a bracelet.

Each one became a dragon artifact suitable for them.

I distributed them and had everyone put them on.

Then, the Dragon-First crest appeared on everyone's body.

"How does it look, everyone?"

"It fits perfectly, thank you, Sir Cyril!"

Emma said this, and the others also had similar, happy expressions.

Louise was still sleeping, but I planned to give her the artifact later.

"Look, Dad, look!"

"…Buuun."

Rae and Chanel were especially cheerful as they ran around.

When they ran, the crest left a trail of light, making it look even more beautiful.

Everyone's crest had this feature, but Rae and Chanel seemed to particularly like it.

Not only Rae, but Colette and Emma also looked happily at the crests on their bodies.

I was glad that everyone seemed to like them.

"Well, what will you do next, dear friend?"

On the other hand, Chris, who seemed to be a transcendent being, spoke with a moderate level of excitement.

"What do you mean, what will I do?"

"I don't know much, but don't you need a strategy for business?"

"Yeah… but it's not on a scale that requires a strategy."

I glanced at Colette, whose expression was alternating between a grin and a smile.

"For now, I'll just make them and have Colette deliver them. Make and deliver, repeat that cycle."

"Then let me make a suggestion. Why don't you focus on making weapons for a while?"

"Weapons… sure, but why?"

"The reason is simple: weapons are consumables."

"I see."

I nodded.

That's something I can understand.

If it's something that's used for a long time, you might not buy a new one for a while after purchasing it, but consumables have a steady demand.

Aiming for that is a strategy that I can understand at my level.

"By directly hearing the needs from dragons and making custom-made weapons, dear friend's weapons are excellent. It's easy to imagine that they will quickly dominate other dragon artifacts."

"Is it really that easy?"

"Kuhahahaha, dear friend underestimates yourself too much. With the crest, it's not 'That's wrong,' but 'Ah, so that's how it is,' which is incredibly impressive, especially for a being like a human."

"…Hmm."

I nodded slightly, understanding that this was the case.

"So, making weapons and dominating the market is a good idea. It's interesting, isn't it? Once you control the weapon market, most guilds won't be able to defy you."

"Yeah, I see."

I thought it was a good idea.

If I can saturate the market with weapons made by me, it would be hard for anyone to start a fight, fearing a supply cut from me.

Yeah, that's a big deal.

"Great advice, thanks, Chris."

"Kuhahahaha, no problem."

"…Thanks to Chris, I've come up with another idea."

"Ho? What is it?"

"I'll do the same for Lindwurm. If necessary, I'll prioritize the best ones."

"…Kuhahahaha, hahaha!"

After a brief pause, Chris laughed even more heartily than usual.

"Yes, that's good, that's good. As expected of a dear friend, you're tough on humans."

Chris understood immediately.

I'll just provide the best dragon artifacts.

This way, at least the survival rate of Lindwurm's dragons in battles will increase.

The ones who will be troubled by this will mainly be the humans of Lindwurm.

"It's interesting, dear friend."

Chris seemed to really like my idea.

Thanks to everyone, I'm now 400 points away from 140,000 points.

I'll keep updating to reach 140,000!
