The Black Dragon was eventually persuaded.
Everything else could be lacking, but the grilled meat could not be.
After all, a certain Chosen One was providing over 70% of its grilled meat supply through sheer financial power alone!
Considering the enormous amount of food a young Black Dragon in its growth phase required, at least... Mairrel didn't think any other Chosen One could manage such a feat.
And the Little Black Dragon, having grown accustomed to a life of eating and sleeping, and having honey-glazed grilled meat delivered whenever it was hungry, didn't want to return to the days of hunting for its food.
However, just as Mairrel was preparing to take flight with righteous determination, it suddenly stopped...
It glanced suspiciously in the direction of the World Tree, remained silent for a moment, and then said to the Kukuku Bird,
"I can help you, but only against enemies you cannot defeat."
This was the divine message Eve had just given to Mairrel.
