She has nothing to do with dragons.

Oh no, dragon police! Show us your qualification mister

 

[sverhnovyi]

...So your girl can hear heartbeat, but can't hear a team of three people go through a cave? Bruh, talk about plotholes

Because she has nothing to do with dragons aside from namesake.
Dragons have a distinct design set, and just placing dragon traits without revealing a dragon form means she is an imposter.

I'd imagine she isn't focusing or processing all information all the time. Kind of like how you can still sneak up on someone even though they would be able to hear your footsteps in real life.

nidhogg is the country's dragon protector btw

And you know she doesn't have a dragon form how exactly?

His heart isn't racing, so he isn't lying!

Was this written by a 12 year old? Looks like the author liked the idea of using heartrate to detect lies so much that he forgot dude's heart should be racing in the first place from being threatened.

 

[Lightbrand]

Why was this dropped by the other group?

 

[kunyka]

And you know she doesn't have a dragon form how exactly?

Because she didn't reveal it. Smart manga authors either start with a dragon form or reveal it soon after introducing a dragon character if such a character appears as a human. There are 9 chapters so far (2 are not translated) and she did not transform.

 

[ahhahahahhahaha]

thank godddddd, we are so backkkkkk

... You do know that a dragon's nature and form changes according to the story it is present in, right? Beyond the Asian variant (Long/Ryuu), there's Medea's dragon (basically a huge snake), Quetzalcoatl (a feathered snake god), the Bible's seven-headed dragon (a symbol representing the Devil), Jormungandr and many others.

Basically, even our real-life folklore is confused on what exactly is a dragon, beyond "a reptile-ish thing with special powers".

Here, Nidhogg has reptile traits, can fly and is implied to be pretty powerful. She is dragon-coded, thus she is a dragon (or dragon-adjacent) in the context of this story.

Show her dragon form. Otherwise, she is NOT a dragon!

 

[Nivek]

Thanks for the translation

Seems we got the 'hero' group and learn about the fake group

You know, I think you're being a tad too dogmatic for a fictional species that has been reinterpreted thousands of times across multiple eras and cultures. Like, did you at least parse what I said about dragons not being a clear concept? Plus, she is named after a major dragon in Norse folklore, which is a proof of intent to me.

Can we at least compromise that she is a dragon-adjacent being for now, like a dragon born or whatever?

Because stop strip dragons of their dragon forms. Dragons are dragons at first place! Why do you all want dragons not have dragon forms so badly?
Give her a DRAGON FORM or either stop calling her a dragon.

OK, let's take it the other way. What is a dragon to you? I'm genuinely curious.

 

[ElectroSlam]

I REALLY appreciate that this tl isn’t breaking these chapters up in multiple parts and only releasing the 10pg parts every 1-2 months.😅👍

 

[kunyka]

A creature, which at least has a dragon form. The one myths, legends shaped & fantasy genre polished.
Because what is your issue with this concept if it shapes the entire magical creature concept? Why are dragons supposed to lose their dragon forms completely?
Why if the wyverns are "not dragons" due to lack of limbs, then this imposter is a dragon only because she is named after an actual one?
Tohru, Tanya, Iris, Alexstrasza, Maleficent, Laika, Iris, Corrin, Tio, Tomoe, Lucoa etc etc etc - they all have dragon forms.

 

[Angoldd]

What I came to comment: Nice chapter, thanks for the TL.

What I saw in the comment section: NOT. A. DRAGON.

That's the thing, though. A Wyvern is a dragon. A Wyrm is a dragon. A Long is a dragon. The Tarasque is a dragon. What you seem to be obsessed with is the idea of the Middle-Age's European variant, a very specific type of dragon, to the detriment of the majority of cultures and interpretations.
