Reincarnated as a Dragon's Egg

I let Aro and the treant get on my back, and run through the forest. Flying would no doubt be faster, but because of the origin matter, I understand clearly that the skies are unsafe. If I foolishly fly about, it’ll quite likely catch sight of me again.

Though there’s a fair distance to the tower, it shouldn’t take that many days to reach it with my speed as it is. At any rate, I want to raise our levels to some extent before we reach the tower.

If I can I want to make the treant evolve too but… I wonder if I can? I can, right? I glance to my back to confirm. Treant stares at me stoically in his tree spiritised form.

『Master-dono… even though you declared it so steadfastly earlier, are you perhaps feeling anxious?』

Th-this is the problem with [Telepathy]…!

『W-wrong! I’m not that anxious, you know!』

I shake my head vigorously.

“Not that…?”

Aro repeats my words, tilting her head. I-I messed up! Pointedly looking away from the treant, I return my gaze to the front.
