"Papa I'm hungry! I want so big pieces of at! Roasted and with sauce on top!"
"I'm hungry too, belly empty."
Benladra and Kate protested for food as they woke up around the sa ti as I did. It feels like my whole family is sohow connected to on a more intrinsic level than I imagined.
They slept the sa amount of ti I did and finally woke up once I did. Perhaps they shared my exhaustion or sothing. Well, we did fight together as one with everything we had, so it makes sense, perhaps.
The two had slept in the sa bed too, it was big, so they were cuddling with and their mother and aunts. Although the girls were hungry, they looked as refreshed as we were.
"Alright, alright, don't be so rude with your parents now." Benladann laughed a bit. "You have to say "please" first, rember the magic word, girls. Also, do not demand things, it is not good. Once you grow up, your parents won't be there for everything, right? So you shouldn't be demanding things."
"Awww…" Benladra sighed. "Okay, sorry… Can we have breakfast, please?"
"Sorry…" Kate said. "Breakfast please."
They were so cute we couldn't bring ourselves to be harsh with these sweeties. I laughed and patted their heads, before giving them kisses on their foreheads.
"Alright, alright. Let's cook sothing then! I feel much more refreshed now, but I'm starving. I could eat a whole mountain." I joked around. "Let's go out, I believe everyone back in the Lizardman Alliance Village should be awake by now."
"Oh right, they asked to go back to their hos, so Ruby let them out of her Divine Realm." Benladann nodded. "It was a bit reckless of them, and just after such a huge battle."
"Well, it just clearly shows how much they care and love their ho," I explained. "These are people we won't be able to invite into our Divine Realm no matter how hard we ever try, haha."
"With the harshness of Muspelheim, that jungle is quite a paradise in comparison." Said Miranda, stretching her body. "Anyways! Let's go, I'm starving too, you know?"
"Alright, alright." We quickly changed into so casual clothes after a quick family bath where we all washed together. And then walked out of the Divine Realm.
A lot of our friends were already outside, there seed to be a large celebratory feast going on, and many of the people of the village were cooking countless dishes, roasting at from freshly hunted ga, laughing, and drinking.
As the sun rose from the horizon, it illuminated the beautiful and rustic jungle village, the laughter of the people, their smiles, and the atmosphere made up for all the efforts we went through.
Scenes like these, even if a bit corny to admit, were what I truly strove for when fighting and growing stronger. It's not like I don't enjoy fighting or growing, but this… It makes all the strength I've harnessed worth it.
And of course, the strength of all my friends. If I hadn't helped them reach the point they are right now, they would have been unable to protect the village until we ca back.
"Oh, you're back, Drake and family!" Tyrannus greeted while spreading his arms and giving a big hug, he was quite jolly.
"Tyrannus, good morning. You seem a bit drunk, have you guys been drinking all night?" I sighed.
"Eh? Hahaha! No! We just started like three hours ago! We did have a nice rest." Laughed the chief of the village, much more carefree than my two other lizardn friends Kraxka and Larzak. They were all lizardn chiefs, but their personalities and cultures differed from one another.
"Alright, you better do." I sighed, patting his huge shoulders. "Tyrannus, how's your family?"
"Oh? They're alright! Wife's been chatting with her friends, they're so happy we rescued them." Laughed Tyrannus. "My daughter is… Well, she's been talking with the sacred beast for a while now."
"Erald?" I wondered, looking in the distance to find him crouched on the ground while enjoying a pile of colorful fruits, chatting with Ahia, Tyrannus' daughter, who was enjoying at skewers.
"You were so amazing, Ahia! I never thought your magic could have reached such levels- Even now, there's a barrier around the village constantly protecting it!" Erald was amazed.
"Hehehe, is that so?" Ahia was very flattered. "You were also really incredible, Erald. Thank you so much for taking care of Dad and all the warriors! Everyone treated you so badly because they thought you were the one who stole the food, but even after that, you tried to save everyone no matter what… I'm really sorry on their behalf."
"It's fine, I don't mind that. They were just confused!" Erald smiled. "They treat nicely now, and that's all that matters."
"Hey Erald, do you have a girlfriend or sothing? Like a dragon mate?" Ahia suddenly spoke that out of nowhere.
Damn, this girl's not good at getting to things, huh? Going directly for the straight answer. Erald is a rather young dragon so I would assu he doesn't have any of that yet.
"Guh…?!" Erald almost choked due to that weird question, coughing the fruit he was just eating. "N-No, I don't- Cough, I don't have any mate yet… I'm still considered a teen in my dragon years; nobody has really approached either… I'm kind of a loser, so I doubt anybody would ever be interested in , haha…"
"E-Eh?! You're not a loser at all!" Ahia quickly refuted his words. "How can you say that?! Y-You're an amazing man, Erald- I an, amazing dragon man!"
"H-Huh? Thanks, Ahia…" Erald felt a bit confused but accepted the praise with a cute smile.
He's very clueless! It makes frustrated he can't tell she's head-over-heels for him. It would usually be seen as weird for non-dragon people to be attracted to dragons, but my Benladann was, and lizardn look a lot like dragons superficially.
Even if he had a beak, he was still very reptilian in appearance. He also has this sort of regal atmosphere around him, his colorful feathers make him attractive to the eyes of many too.
"Geez…" Ahia sighed. "That's it…?"
"Eh? What's wrong? Ahia?" Erald was really confused.
"N-Nothing!" Ahia said flustered. "A-Anyways, look! Drake is over there!" She pointed at .
"Huh?! MASTER!" Erald flew towards as fast as he could.
BAM!
And landed over , almost crushing my entire body in the process. This kid really needs to learn how to better moderate his strength. Also that he doesn't know of a way to transform into a humanoid form is a bit embarrassing.
"Ugh, good morning Erald!" I dragged him away from . "Did you have to ruin it like that with her?!"
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Erald asked with a confused look in his eyes.
Tyrannus shook his head as if disappointed but didn't say a word.
"We'll talk about this later! You have to stop being so clueless about romance, man." I shrugged. "Anyways, first things first. I'll be teaching you how to take a humanoid form."
"What? Why? I don't need one!" Erald said proudly.
"You do! If you enter a town of people, you'll stand out a lot if you're just a giant dragon!" I sighed, crossing my arms. "Anyways, just copy this magic circle…"
