As Lardon said, this was my first time hearing the name Paithon, but I always knew there was another dragon besides Lardon and Dyphon who fought in the Tri-Draconic War.

“Good grief...” Lardon huffed. “I am well aware that you only have eyes for magic, but any normal person would have at least begun to wonder about the last dragon after meeting both me and Dyphon.”

“Urgh...” I had no words. Once again, Lardon was absolutely right.

Back when I first learned how to summon Salamanders and Undines, my mind easily went to the rest of the spirits and their summoning spells, and I prioritized collecting them all early on in my journey to learning magic. I was at present in a very similar case...but for some reason, my curiosity just wasn’t stirred at all.

No, not for some reason. Frankly, it was probably because this had nothing to do with magic. But saying that out loud would just prompt Lardon to tease me more, so I shook the thought off. Instead, I turned my attention to the sleeping beauty, Paithon.

“She looks pretty young. Did she also reincarnate?”

“No. I look that young too, do I not?”

“Oh...” Now that I think about it, Lardon and Dyphon both looked like young girls in their human forms despite undergoing reincarnation.

“Hmph. This one hasn’t changed either,” Lardon mumbled. “She exudes this fog when she sleeps—naturally, irrespective of her own will.”

“So she can’t stop it...?”

“Do you recall what I said earlier—that only three beings have been able to resist this?”

“Uh, right... Me included.”

“Exactly. Until now, besides Dyphon and I, any living being would fall asleep the moment they approach her.”

“Huh. How...docile,” I inadvertently murmured. Having fought both Lardon and Dyphon, I couldn’t help but measure up the trio, and the way Paithon put others to sleep made her look really peaceful in comparison

Lardon chuckled. “Docile? Are you sure about that? There is never any telling how long she will sleep for.”

“Huh? Isn’t that the same for everyone?”

“Oh, certainly... But as far as I am aware, Paithon once went three years without waking.”

“Three years?!”

“Indeed. She is quite the sleepyhead.”

“I think she’s more than just a sleepyhead at that point!” I retorted.

“Now then, here comes the problem.”

“Ugh.” I flinched and braced myself. A problem here couldn’t be any good. Well, I’d probably understand if it was related to magic...

“Say she remains asleep in the same spot for three years. What will happen?”

“In that case...” I pursed my lips. “The living beings around her would also sleep for three years.”

“Indeed. Very clever.”

“I know because I was able to replicate it.”

“Ah.” Lardon chuckled. “In any case, you are correct. While she is asleep, all who approach shall fall the same so long as her fog envelops them. Living beings consume energy even as they rest, and without external care, most would not even last a week.”

A chill ran down my spine as my gaze turned to Paithon, blissfully asleep like an innocent child.

Suddenly, a bird fell from the sky. It swerved in the air and crashed to the ground, falling unconscious on the spot.
