7"Hmm...? Who are you?"
"Oops..."
Looks like sneaking closer was already out of the bag. The dragon somehow saw them trying to get closer. With Meliodas being spotted, he guess he had no choice but introduce himself.
"Yo! what's up big guy." Greeted Meliodas casually.
The dragon was quite confused with how he greeted him. He was quite calm to be honest. Doesn't he knows that he's literally in the presence of a catastrophic level monster and yet he just gave a casual greeting like that. He has guts this one. Interesting...
"I shall ask you again, who are you?" asked the dragon with a demanding tone.
"Oh, name's Meliodas. This is li'l slime." answered Meliodas while introducing the slime too. It was quite confused of the sudden introduction but, it showed itself in front of Meliodas.
To be fair, the slime doesn't really know what was going on. It knows that Meliodas was talking to someone but that someone is quite unknown for it because, it can't really see who or what that person is. The only thing it sees are just shadowy figures of them.
The dragon was quite taken back by the simple and cheerful reply from Meliodas. Normally people will start pissing their pants by just looking at him but, this person did the opposite of that. Either he's just bluffing or he really doesn't fear him at all.
He look at the other next to him. It was just a simple harmless slime. To think that a monster was going around with a human is quite unusual. Slimes may look harmless but they are still what they are, a monster. For it to be going around with this human child means there's something about him he doesn't know. Maybe he should ask it.
"You there, slime. Why are you with this human?"
The slime jolted a bit from that as it just gave a gurgle.
"You don't have to worry. I understand you quite fully." answered the dragon.
It was surprised that he understood him. Even Meliodas was shocked knowing the dragon could somehow understand from all that gurgling.
"You understand the little guy?" asked Meliodas.
"Of course. It's natural for monsters to be able to understand each other." answered the dragon.
"Ohh... that sure is convenient."
Knowing that the dragon understood it, the slime starts to gurgle none stop. Whatever it was saying was unknown to Meliodas but not to the dragon as he was listening every single word. From a minute of the talk, the slime starts to jump back in fright from the dragon. Seeing this, Meliodas kept his guard up a little as the dragon doesn't emit any hostile intention.
"What's up li'l slime?" asked Meliodas.
The slime calmed down a little after that as its began gurgling again.
"Not to worry. I simply thought him how to utilize his mana. Now he is able to see clearly." answered the dragon.
"Oh... Ok." said Meliodas.
As the slime was trying out its new abilities, the dragon fixed his gaze at Meliodas.
"Meliodas was it?" ask the dragon.
"Yup."
"I heard from the slime that you were at the bottom of the dungeon with him. What were you doing there?" asked the dragon.
"No clue really. I'm just trying to get out that's all." said Meliodas.
Everything was really weird for Meliodas. Founding himself to this labyrinth of a cave was not something that he was quite enjoying. In truth, it's starting to piss him off. Even so, he needs to calm down. making a tantrum about it is not gonna help anything. For now, he could ask this dragon here. He looks like a nice fellow. Hopefully...
"So big guy, you got a name or something?"
The dragon was a little surprised from the sudden answer. In any case, it won't hurt to tell.
"My name? Very well I shall tell you."
The dragon straighten up his posture and puffing his chest high with pride.
"I am the dragon of thunder and lightning! And my name is Veldora! The Storm Dragon!"
"Ahh... I see... well, nice meeting you Dora." said Meliodas.
Veldora merely blink a few times from that. There he was giving this boy his name with such pride and emotion. He went about destroying it with giving him a nickname.
"D-Dora?!"
"Nishi-shi-shi..."
once again not that good. but thanks for the fav. Stay safe.
