Hearing the name of this particular animal, Rosvisser was momentarily taken aback.

“A… donkey?”

Leon nodded.

“But why would a dragon clan keep a donkey as a pet? Are you sure you aren’t mistaken?”@@novelbin@@

Rosvisser’s skepticism was well-founded. Donkeys were nearly nonexistent among the dragon clans—not because they were valuable, but simply because they held no practical value for dragons. As food, they didn’t have enough meat or the preferred taste. As labor, anything a donkey could do could be done better and faster by other creatures trained by dragons.

The idea of keeping a donkey as a pet was almost absurd.

Even the fearless General Leon considered donkeys to be creatures deserving of respect. After all, they were among the rare beings capable of dealing him actual physical damage.

Leon’s certainty was unwavering: “This is definitely donkey fur. Trust the judgment of a man who grew up with donkeys from the age of five.”

He said this with such conviction that Rosvisser almost imagined the donkey as one of his childhood friends.

“It’s not that I don’t believe you—I just don’t understand how Claudia is connected to a donkey.”

Leon shrugged, brushing the fur from his fingers as the breeze scattered it. “It might not even be from her. We’ve been around the academy all day, meeting all kinds of dragons. Maybe one of them just happens to like donkeys.”
