Beyond of the Scale

#13 - The taste of a real name

〔Sein pov〕

My vision slowly clears, and I feel something very good on my back and I was purring, I slowly turned around and saw the mage stroking me, the reason I was purring, but I like it.

[Lilia]: From what I see, you're already awake.

[Sein]: «$lπ... &o a©0B&l...»

[Lilia]: Nilio, did you hear that noise?

[Nilio]: What noise?

[Lilia]: That static.

[Sein]: «!ã0... $0ū &ū...»

[Lilia]: Again... aren't you listening?

[Nilio]: No, I'm not!

[Sein]: «¶04pū&... &ū !ã0 pū&40»

# Heads up! A skill leveled up

- Telepathy (nv.2 -> 3)

[Sein]: «¶04 %a√04... !ã0 ¶a4e»

[Lilia]: I'm listening, Nilio!

[Nilio]: You just- wait... what if it's that dragon?!

[Lilia]: Huh?

[Sein]: «#lπ¡ $0ū &ū¡»

The mage shakes her head sideways looking for something.

[Lilia]: The little dragon?

[Nilio]: Yes! If I'm not mistaken, he has telepathy.

[Sein]: «l$$0 πe$π0¡ 5eIe¶a5la»

[Nilio]: Now he tried to talk to me! Due to the skill's low level, his words are mixed in with the static of the transmission. You tried to talk to me, didn't you?

I look at him and give him a weak nod in confirmation.

[Nilio]: I knew it!

He yelled so loud it made my ears ring making me pull them back trying to cover it. He realizes this and is sorry.

[Nilio]: Oops... I'm sorry. I forgot that dragons' hearing is much more sensitive.

He approaches me and starts to caress me.

[Nilio]: You forgive me, right?

[Sein]: «É ©Ia40 pūe ¶e4B00ū √0©ê»

[Nilio]: I didn't understand, but I'll guess... did you forgive me?

I nod my head once more in confirmation.

[Nilio]: I'm happy.

[Estevan]: Uhhhh...

The alchemist looks at Estevan, takes the sword and goes back to Lilia before he finishes waking up.

[Estevan]: What...? Where I... oh my head...

He looks around and his eyes meet mine.

[Estevan]: You... GET AWAY FROM THEM NOW!

He looks around once more for the sword and then his stops on Nilio.

[Estevan]: Nilio, where are you! Give it to me, quick!

[Nilio]: Estevan, first you need to calm down...

[Estevan]: Calming me down with a monster here?! And still a dragon?!

[Nilio]: It's okay, Estevan. He doesn't want to hurt us.

[Estevan]: Do you happen to know what a dragon wants?!

[Nilio]: No!

[Estevan]: That's why-

[Nilio]: So let's give him a chance! DON'T-ATTACK-IT!

[Estevan]: ...

[Sein]: «It's √e4BaBe»

[Estevan]: What? What static is this?!

[Nilio]: It's the dragon, he's trying to communicate.

[Estevan]: Communicate...?

[Nilio]: Yes. He has ⟦telepathy⟧.

[Sein]: «É ūπ ¶4a*e4 ©0!—e©e-I0»

# Heads up! New Skill Acquired

- Tongue of Niritha (Lv.1)
Info: Makes it possible to understand and speak the native language of Niritha's kingdom

[Estevan]: That's the worst thing in the world!

[Nilio]: What are you talking about?

[Estevan]: If dragons are learning to communicate, it's the end of the world and humanity!

[Lilia]: Wh... what do you mean?

[Estevan]: That dragon must die before he teaches others!!!

He gets up and shoots towards us, Lilia quickly activates the shield of light and while Estevan hits, hits and hits the shield Nilio takes a potion, pretends to drink it and signals to Lilia and deactivates the magic herself.

Estevan jumps on Nilio and he throws the potion on the knight's face and falls asleep.

[Nilio]: It's not as strong as the other one, but it'll do.

[Lilia]: Didn't you just have a sleeping potion?

[Nilio]: Yes. But I did one more while those two were out.

[Sein]: «πūl50 Deπ ¶e!$aB0¡»

[Nilio]: I don't know what you said, but I hope it was a compliment.

[Sein]: Nink!

I say while nodding my head in the affirmative.

[Nilio]: Thank you. But we need to go, the effect will not last long.

[Lilia]: But already?

[Nilio]: Yes.

[Lilia]: Can I at least give him a name?

[Nilio]: Of course. But be quick!

[Lilia]: The way you protected us before, you look like Shīndora!

[Sein]: "Voice of the mind, didn't you say I couldn't change anymore when I named myself?"

# At that time I didn't have enough knowledge because of my level. An auto naming is the same as defining a nickname.

[Sein]: "I see. But... wow! My telepathy has gone to level 6!"

[Lilia]: See you later, Shindora!

[Shindora]: «E$¶e4a, Lilia»

[Lilia]: Huh?

[Shindora]: «B0a√iageπ!» Nink Nink Nink! Nink Nink Nink!

I go around with the moaning song, I get into the sitting dog pose and then with my right front paw I wave goodbye.

[Lilia/Nilio]: Bye!

They disappear into the trees and I stay in the cave where I receive the Heleos and define it as my permanent home.
