From an innocent Wyvern, who has just become a guide, to an experienced and qualified Dragon, each person in the group will be provided with a personal guide. In accordance with his needs, this girl will show him Dragonia with all care and sincerity!

Howdy!

Spore here; I've been doing my own translation of Side I as a personal project now that I have the time. I'll do my best to provide translation notes when I find them relevant or interesting, and I'm more than happy to answer questions that people may have about the translation. I want nothing more than to support the community and wiki how I can with what I can. Let's begin at the beginning! Note that there will be times where I've felt it prudent to change certain names, titles, and key terminology as well.
Welcome to the Dragonia Tourism Bureau! Is this your first time here?

Dragonia is a vast country– visiting every tourist spot in one day is virtually impossible, and no amount of time you set aside will be enough to see it all. In times like those, leave it to the guides at the DTB!1

We offer services to suit the needs of each and every traveler, providing comfortable and pleasant sight-seeing tours for all!

From a young and eager newbie wyvern who just joined our service, to a highly qualified and experienced dragon2, each of our girls accommodate both individual customers and group tours, showing you Dragonia with all of their passion and sincerity!

Don't miss out on this opportunity to experience a one-on-one guided tour with a dragon, something that you can’t get anywhere else ♡
Translation Notes (this is a really short bit, so there's not really much to make note of here)
1: I like the preexisting "Dragonia Tourism Bureau" translation! But I'll occasionally initial it to avoid over-wordiness or redundancy.
2: This Side makes abundant usage of 竜 ("dragon") as a catch-all term for all monsters in the dragon family. Ordinarily, I would capitalize all monster race names, especially to avoid confusion between the dragon family and the specific species "dragon" (ドラゴン in Japanese, from English), but to maintain stylistic consistency with the wiki, I've chosen not to... just know that it's a lot less ambiguous in Japanese lmao

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have! I'll do my best to explain my choices.
