[KAITO・レン・がくぽ]"From a miniature garden where the dragon howls" english & romaji subbed

So I guess in this song, the word "hakoniwa" is used like that. Under below is my interpretation of this song, NOT the author's. :Once there was a fierce dragon,and it suffered the people badly.So a woman/girl ("I" in the lyrics is supposed to be a woman ...
