The Abandoned Villager A, Who Was Picked up by an Aristocrat Awakened a Legendary Skill - Chapter 5

Unproofread/Unedited Ver.

「Mi-yuー!」

On the other hand, the newborn child(red dragon child) jumped at him with great delight. 

The small child became playful again,  so he gently brushed its head.

Suddenly, a thought passed through his mind. 

While gently brushing the small child’s head, he turned to face the man(magician).

「Hey, is this good?」

「What is, sir?」

「This child’s growth accelerated after receiving my magical power, right?」

「That seems to be the case」

「In that case, wouldn’t its growth accelerate if I pour more magical power?」

「No, it’s not that simple, sir」

「Why?」

「Like most creatures, dragons do not inherit their parent’s flesh and blood the moment they are born, it is like that, sir」

「I see. That is a good analogy」

He honestly thought so.

Inheritance of the parent’s flesh and blood, He immediately understood it when it was explained to him that way.

「kakaka, understanding it immediately, as I thought, Mateo is smart」

「Eh?」

「If there’s too much difference in intelligence, it would be hard to communicate. There are several times when those with higher intelligence couldn’t understand the words that those with lower intelligence use, even if they go down to the same level.」

「Hmm……」[TL: etto……]

「It means that it would be hard to talk to idiots.」

Grandpa seems like he didn’t have a body and lid.

[TL: There is no body or lid (no cover or lid)” is an idiom that means that you can’t feel the emotions and feelings because you can’t express things too frankly.]

No, that seems to be the case.

「But, I see. It would be good if I could let the small child grow just a little more」

「Mi-yuー?」

「It means letting you grow like this」

While he was saying that, and gently brushing its head with his hand, he recalled something.

That feeling the moment he touched the eggshell, the light it emitted―― he remembered it.

Then―― his hand glowed again.

「What is it?」

「There’s no problem! Master Matteo just released some magical power. The Red Dragon has already hatched from its egg, so the magic power will just dissipate.」

「I see――」

The next moment, when his grandpa just understood the man’s explanation.

The small child’s body rapidly inflated.

Its small, adorable puppy-like form completely changed.

It transformed right into a brave [Dragon], that’s larger than the estate.

「Guooooooo!!!」

The growl turned into a roar.

The ground shook, and the trouser’s cuffs trembled.

「Wha, What!?」

「――to!!」

Grandpa was surprised, and the surprised man fell on his back.

While the two were surprised, the Red Dragon slowly bent down.

「Mateo!!」

Grandpa shouted, because of what happened, he became worried.

The Red Dragon leaned its body near him, considering its enormous body, gently rubbed its cheeks against his.  [TL: Hoozuri = rubbing cheeks together (as a display of affection)]

「oh~, good good」

It looked very pleased after he held it in his arms while they were rubbing their cheeks together. (considering its size) [TL: Hoozuri = rubbing cheeks together (as a display of affection)]

It looked happy.

「Amazing! That’s amazing, Mateo!」

Grandpa became more and more excited when he saw the Red Dragon clinging to him.

「Absurd…… that’s impossible, I have never heard of something like it.」

The man became increasingly surprised.

「Ah」

The Red Dragon’s large form remained for only 30 seconds.

The Red Dragon, who returned to its original form as a baby dragon, still jumped at him.

By the third time he got used to it, he caught the baby dragon and listened to the man.

「What does this mean?」

「Well~…… oh, it’s probably not flesh and blood but a temporary enhancement after its birth.」

The end of the sentence felt unconfident.

「I.. I’m sorry, for not being able to say it with certainty」

「kakaka, what’s that? Good, good good」

Compared to the man who is trying to apologize, grandpa seemed to be in a very good mood.

「Grandfather?」

「Is it unprecedented to that extent?」

「Yes! That’s for sure」

「Then, it can’t be helped, Mateo is so amazing, he went beyond my imagination. That is all that matters.」

Grandpa said so and laughed happily again with [Kakaka].

When he arrived, his grandpa was already back to normal.

Duke Lawrence, a grandpa who dotes on his grandson and affirms everything about him.

That says, returned to going beyond sense as usual.

Translator: –MON–

Thank you for reading my translations, sorry for the extremely late update. I was doing a college thesis, exams, quizzes, and most of all procrastination and also reading. I am planning to stop translating since I learned that translating really is not for me.
