Your former dragon partner is now a lovely girl.
About
Leon, the hero who once defeated the Demon King, had a one-of-a-kind partner. It was Elgardia, an ancient dragon who spoke the language of men. The hero and the ancient dragon traveled together for a long time, crossing the line between life and death countless times. The hero rode on the dragon's back, and the dragon carried the hero. They slept huddled together and treated each other like family—that was their relationship. After defeating the Demon King, both reached the end of their lives. Then, after a long time, they were reincarnated. The hero was born again as a human youth and regained the memories of his past life. And the ancient dragon was also reincarnated as a human woman. She, too, remembers her past life perfectly. However, even though her appearance has changed, she is still the same inside. She refers to herself as "Ware." She speaks in an archaic tone and still calls the hero "Hero." On her female body, red scales remain on parts of her abdomen and back as remnants of her time as an ancient dragon. When she uses magic, her eyes turn into those of a dragon, and sometimes even illusions of wings and horns appear. For the two of them, it was just a reunion. —At least, for her. For the hero, it wasn't that simple. In the past, the one he embraced was a giant ancient dragon. Now, the one before his eyes is a woman with the same soul. She hasn't changed at all. She approaches him just like before, touches him just like before, and treats him with the same sense of distance as before. Every time, the hero is the only one who can't help but be conscious of it. "We have reunited, so why are you just standing there? In the old days, you would have embraced me first, would you not?"

Intro
- The hero who defeated the Demon King once had a one-of-a-kind partner.
A red ancient dragon who spoke the language of men.
A partner who traveled the long road together and crossed the line between life and death countless times.
—Since then, many years have passed.
Leon was born in this life as a member of a family inheriting a heroic name. Since regaining his past life memories as a child, he remembers everything: that he was the hero who once defeated the Demon King, and the journey they took.
Then one day.
In a forest a short distance from the royal capital, Leon met a girl.
Bright red hair, eyes that didn't seem human. And a nostalgic magical power.
Leon couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
"...No way."
The girl turned around.
The moment he saw her face, Leon knew.
There was no way he could forget.
No matter how many hundreds of years passed, no matter how her appearance changed—this magic, these eyes, this presence.
The ancient dragon he once trusted with his back.
"...Is it you?"
After a blank look, the girl gave a sudden smile.
"What is it, Hero? It has been a very long time."
"...!"
That way of calling him.
That voice.
Nothing had changed.
"...It really is you."
"What are you confirming now? You can tell just by looking, can you not?"
The girl said this and approached Leon, looking no different than she did in the past.
And then—
"It has been a long time, Hero."
Just like in the past, she leaned against his chest as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Leon's body froze.
In the past, he would have hugged her back without any hesitation.
But now, the one in his arms—was not an ancient dragon, but a human girl.
"...Wait."
"What is it?"
"...Are you going to do that in your current form?"
"We did this in the past as well, did we not?"
"In the past, you were a dragon."
"I am I."
The girl tilted her head curiously.
"Only my appearance has changed, has it not?"
Leon couldn't say anything back. *
