Sunny and Elsie has cleared all the trees on Andro's back. And Kayla also has healed the wounds. It's time for the scratching part.

"Well, since you're the only one who can do it, you should do it. We won't be able to help," Kayla said as she rested on Andro's back.

Since I'm going to introduce everyone to Andro, she will stay here until I finished scratching his back. Well, first, I need to know which area is itchy the most. Let's talk with Andro.

I run to Andro's head and asked him about it.

"Andro! Which part is the itchiest part? We have taken care of everything else. And the wounds are all healing now," I said to Andro.

"Oh? No wonder I feel my back is lighter. Well, there are many parts that feel itchy," Andro said.

"Yeah. Wounds that are healing are itchy. But which part? If I just scratch everything but you still feel itchy later, it will be annoying to go back and forth," I said.

"And how can I point where it's itchy? With my finger? Are you mocking me?"

Oh, right. His limbs are too short for his giant body.

"Hmm… give me a minute," I said.

After that, I go back to Andro's back, grabbed a paper and a pen from the base along with Sonia.

"What's wrong, Roy? I thought you will introduce everyone together," Sonia said.

"I'll introduce you to Andro first. I'll explain later," I said.

I put the paper on the flat area on Andro's back. I'm going to draw his body.

Hmm… now that I have drawn him, he is more like a flying turtle than a lizard. I guess it's just my imagination that all dragons are lizards with wings. Some of them actually turtles with wings. Or is he tortoise?

And then, on the paper, I draw squares with numbers in it. From one, to a hundred. Ten squares horizontally, and ten squares vertically. That's the position of Andro's back that he will tell me if they are itchy.

From one to fifty is above his wings, and the rest are below his wings. It will be easier for him to explain where it's itchy.

"…so, you want me to relay his message to where he feels itchy the most?" Sonia asked.

"Yeah. Please do it for us. Since once he feels better, he will be our most powerful ally so far. Though we can't bring him to our world," I said.

"Sigh… fine. Let's meet him," Sonia said.

After finished the drawing, I show it to Andro. I stick the paper on Blobbies so Andro can see it better.

"Here's the picture of your back. And this is Sonia, my ghost friend. You can tell her the number of the location that you feel itchy. She will relay the message to me," I said.

"Oh, a ghost! Ghosts are scary," Andro said.

"You're a fricking dragon! How come you're afraid of a ghost!?" I shouted.

"Don't worry about it, Roy. It's once in a lifetime moment for me to feel more superior than a dragon. Let him fear me," Sonia said.

"…Andro, she's our reliable ally. With her help, we can communicate easily no matter the distance. Especially since the war is coming. Although for her, it will take some time for her to travel between two worlds. I think you won't see her that much, but I hope you try to get along with her," I said to Andro.

"I'll try to not get scared. For now, it's number 7," Andro said the part that he feels itchy as he looks at the paper.

"Understood," I replied as I quickly run toward the location marked number 7.

With this, it should be done faster rather than scratching everything but not knowing if he really needs that part scratched or not.

"Roy, that seems useful for human as well. Numbering part of your back," Victoria said as I transformed her into a rake.

"Yeah, but I don't need to. I have been using you all this time to be my backscratcher," I said.

"…turns out, I have been a backscratcher for a long time," Victoria said.

After that, when I Andro feels that the part I scratched with the rake is no longer itchy, Sonia would appear and told me to go to the next part.

Sometimes, I need to scratch it just a few times. But other times, I have to scratch it a lot of times.

Andro is really strong. Even if I use all my power, without using Aura, his back won't even get wounded. And when I use Aura, instead of pain, Sonia would appear and relay a message from him saying to do it like that.

…I guess my training for today is by scratching Andro's back. It helps improving my strength.

"Roy. He said that the last one is number 94," Sonia said.

"That's the last one? It's faster than I thought. I guess numbering his back works well," I replied.

"Oh, and he's no longer that afraid of me now. I guess my time being more superior than a dragon will be over soon," Sonia said as she disappears.

Well, if Andro became too attached to her, that will be a problem in a way. After all, we need Sonia the most among us to communicate with each other. Although I can use portal, I don't know of a good time to suddenly open a portal to the kings. Who knows if they are in the middle of a meeting with someone we can't trust?

If she's staying here for too long, it will be difficult for us to communicate. Well, I'll think about it when I have to later.

After I finished, I go to where the others are resting at the moment and tell them to meet Andro. I also told those who are cultivating to stop for a while today to meet Andro. After all, those wind elements mage will probably meet him more often than the rest of us.

"Wait! Kron is breaking through!" Veronica said as I was about to get Kron.

"Really? I guess we'll delay the introduction for you guy. Alright, the wind mages will stay here to protect Kron just in case monsters appear. The rest will meet Andro with me now," I said.

I can't believe that we will have another expert level mage now! And it's Kron. I thought that it would be Angela or Wendy. But this is fine. Since Kron loves to go on adventure on his own, his chance of survival will increase now. And now, he can go to even more dangerous place. And if he meets some expert level mages from the cult, he will be able to take care of them on his own. This is a nice surprise.

After I gather everyone, I put them all on Spot's back. We will ride to the front of the Kaiser Dragon instead of walking on his head. It's easier for him to see us all this way.

"Andro! Hey! How is your back?" I asked.

"Never been better! This is the first time in thousands of years that I feel so good," Andro replied.

"That's good to know! Anyway, here are the people I'd like to introduce you to… why are you all so quiet?" I asked everyone riding on Spot.

"…well, I know that we are on a dragon's back. And the size is even bigger than the capital. But seeing him in front of me like this is… too intimidating," Kayla said.

"That's right. It was really crazy when Roy said that he wants to talk with the dragon at first," Victoria said.

"Don't worry. He's a nice dragon once you get to know him. Also, he hasn't used his Dragon's Intimidation yet. That alone can make even Spot lost his consciousness," I said.

"Right! Want to experience it yourself? Then I'll—"

"Stop right there! Do not attempt to use it again when everyone is here! And now that I'm not using my calming gas, the effect should be much stronger than before! We all will fall to our death if you use it again now!" I interrupted Andro before he finishes speaking.

"I see… I guess you will never feel my full intimidation then," Andro said.

"I hope that's the case. Well, these are my friends. There are some who are still around your wings since one of them is breaking through. I'll let you meet them later. Anyway, here they are! King, king, king, empress, queen, queen, princess, prince…"

"Wait! Are you going to introduce us just like that!? Introduce us properly!" Albert complained.

"Then introduce yourself! Andro is our friend now, so you can't be afraid of him!" I shouted.

"Though I am still a bit afraid of your ghost friend…" Andro said, but I choose to not listen.

"Just at least make sure Andro knows your faces!"

This time, they each introduce themselves to Andro properly. Although some of them have been staying on his back for a while, this is the first time they see his face.

Some of them are still frightened by him, so those who can endure his presence better introduce the others who are too scared to talk. Though after everyone introduce themselves, they can finally talk properly. Especially after knowing that the dragon is afraid of the ghost. And they know the ghost better than the dragon.

With this, I can send any one of them here so Andro can protect them just in case. Now we have a moving fortress.

Hmm… will he allow us to build one on his back? That seems difficult. Maybe if it's just tents, it should be fine.. Or else, he will complain about itchy back again.
