龍への道は遠いぞ

In a modern chibi-focused anime style with rounded proportions, a horizontal illustration depicts a vibrant scene along a winding river. A majestic carp leaps energetically upwards against the strong current of the waterfall. Observing from the grassy riverbank, a group of cheerful human characters, depicted in chibi form with oversized heads and playful expressions, watch the carp's ascent. The land is dotted with colorful flowers, plants, and rocks. The art style features clean linework, dense decorative elements like patterns in the water, sticker-like compositions, a soft pastel palette with lively color accents, and a cute, polished aesthetic. The mood is hopeful yet light-hearted, implying the carp is unlikely to transform into a dragon.
