"Rumor has it that the dragon race carries the fortune of heaven and earth and is protected by the saints of the human race. If you present them with the grand gift of nine dragons encircling, it can summon the blessings of the gods from the Celestial Realm."
"So, this is the gift you were talking about," Timothy nodded thoughtfully.
Azura seemed quite pleased with herself: "How about that? Just thinking about it feels grand, doesn't it? I guess only a gift this big is worthy of a goddess."
"Yeah, it's indeed impressive," Timothy admitted, feeling for once that Azura was actually making sense. He couldn't deny it was a good idea.

"You are Timothy, from Goddess Sylvia's side?" The dragon guard at the shrine recognized Timothy and was clearly very respectful.
