There are three light novels available that collect the story so far. The book tells the tale of a vegetarian dragon. Someday, a girl who believes he is an evil dragon brings an offering to his cave. She is willing to give up her soul if it means she can get the abilities she needs to vanquish the Demon Lord.
When the dragon tells her a lie to get away, the girl develops superpowers. They are now on their way to the Demon Lord’s lair to bring him down.

The plot follows a herbivorous dragon who unexpectedly meets a female who wants to offer herself to him. Neither human meat nor conflict are of any interest to him, so he deceives her and sends her away.
The girl, however, has begun to believe she is a dragon and is now actively engaging in battle against the armies of the Demon Lord.
