The 14th day of the Earth month. Sieg-san and I were going to Rigforeshia for four days and three nights.
If I could use Teleportation Magic, it would have only taken us an instant to get to Rigforeshia, but unfortunately, I didn’t register that place as a target location because I didn’t get my Teleportation Magic Tool until after the Sacred Tree Festival.
So, since we aren’t able to use Teleportation, we’re going to Rigforeshia using the Flying Dragon Services.
Putting mine aside since I got it from Kuro, Teleportation Magic Tools are absurdly expensive because it requires a difficult technique to make it and the high purity magic crystal needed for it. Even Lilia-san, a duchess who used to be a princess, doesn’t own one.
Even so, it seems that Lilia-san offered to ask the royal palace to arrange Teleportation Magic for us, but Sieg-san refused, saying that she would return with her own money since she was only to her hotown for personal reasons.
[……It would have been nice if we could bring Bell and Lynn along.]
[Putting aside Lynn-chan, Bell-chan can’t get on the Flying Dragon Services’s gondolas…… And if you only take one of them with you, they’ll probably get into a fight, so it can’t be helped.
Bell and Lynn are staying back at Lilia-san’s mansion, and I’ve asked so of the servants to take care of them while we’re gone.
Even if my relationship with them wasn’t that good in the beginning, and I didn’t have much interaction with the servants, but as a good amount of ti passed, I’ve developed a friendship with them, and I’ve been talking a lot with them recently. They’re also willing to accept looking after Bell and Lynn as well, and I’m really grateful for that.
And so, as we occasionally chat with each other on the way, Sieg-san and I continued on our way to the Flying Dragon Services’s aviary that we went to before.
[……Errr, this is……]
[I didn’t expect it would be this much……]
When we arrived at the large ranch that is attached to the Dragon Flight Services’ aviary, Sieg-san and I were stunned to see the scene in front of us.
It certainly is a really vast ranch back when I ca to visit it before…… but the situation here drastically changed.
The aviary was several tis larger than before, dragons that seed to be tens of ters long, and even the number of people who ca to visit are astounding.
Speaking of which, I completely put them away in my mind after receiving Lynn, but this Flying Dragon Services has made a contract with Magnawell-san where he would send his subordinates to work here…… Unnn, how should I say this… They’re all huge.
[…..That’s a High Ancient Dragon…… I’ve never seen one before.]
[Errr, that na kinda sounds aweso…..
[……They have strength around the peerage-holding Demons.]
[……I- I see……]
Apparently, there are several top-tier dragons roaming around here that aren’t supposed to be in the Human Realm.
I guess that’s why there are so many people here…… All of them certainly look very fast and strong……
[However, this ans we’ll have to wait for quite a while, won’t we?]
[Most probably…… Well, being able to ride the highest-ranking dragons would certainly make them popular…… Or rather, I’m beginning to wonder if we could ride today……]
There was a line of people waiting in front of the aviary as if it were a popular amusent park attraction, and it doesn’t seem likely that we would be able to ride imdiately.
But well, it can’t be helped under these circumstances, so when I gave up and was about to line up with Sieg-san, I heard a familiar voice.
[If it isn’t Miyama-san, welco!]
[Ahh, hello, Mary-san.]
As I was about to get in line, I was called out by Driver-san who I negotiated with and the manager of this Flying Dragon Services.
She told that her na was Mary back when I received Lynn, and that’s what I call her now.
[It has beco quite great, isn’t it?]
[Yes, It’s really all thanks to Miyama-san and Dragon King-sama. We’re receiving reservations to ride with us every day…… and in just a few days, we’ve slightly surpassed our monthly inco so far.]
[That’s kind of amazing……]
[Yes, it makes scream out in happiness…… So, Miyama-san, how are you doing today? Are you by any chance going to ride with us?]
[Ah, yes…… However, doesn’t it look difficult today?]
Having a light chat with Mary-san, who spoke to with a lively smile, I told her the purpose of our visit.
Mary then nodded once in agreent, and then, she moved her hand, as if to encourage to move over there.
[Well then, please co this way…… I’ll prepare for your departure right away.]
[Eh? H- However, we don’t have a reservation or anything like that……]
[You don’t need to make a reservation, for in our establishnt, Miyama-san is our most important custor. I’ll arrange for you to ride our best flight service right away.]
Mary’s going to put on a high priority flight even though I don’t have a reservation…… I’m feeling kind of apologetic since it was all thanks to Magnawell-san but…… I’m sure Sieg-san would want to see her parents as soon as possible, so I guess I’ll take her up to her offer.
Thinking this, I turned to Sieg-san, who told with her eyes that she’s going to leave it up to to decide.
[……Well then, do you mind if I ask so?]
[Yes, leave it to . Well then, this way please.]
[Yes.]
Following Mary-san, who was guiding us, Sieg-san and I leave the long line and head towards the aviary.
Thereupon, one of the largest dragons in the vicinity of the aviary, a jet-black dragon slowly moved in front of us and bowed its head towards .
[It’s been a while. Miyama-dono.]
[……Errr, if I rember correctly, you were there when I t Magnawell-san……]
[Yes, I’m Magnawell-sama subordinate…… Fafnir is my na. It’s an honor to see your countenance once again.]
[……Errrm……]
The huge dragon…… Fafnir-san, who must be over 100 ters long, spoke to in a very polite tone.
I was puzzled by his overly polite response, and as if he sensed it, Fafnir-san opened his huge mouth.
[All dragonkin have received strict orders from Magnawell-sama to treat Miyama-dono with utmost courtesy.]
[……I- Is that so?]
[Yes, I’ve heard that Magnawell-sama owes you a great debt…… and were told that we should listen to Miyama-dono’s words as if they were equivalent to Magnawell-sama’s words. If you need anything, we will be at your disposal.]
[……Errr, y- yes.]
Owes a debt? Did Magnawell-san have such debt towards ? ……Ahh, could it be about Kuro?
Mhmmm, how should I say this…… I don’t know if I should be grateful…… but I also can’t compose myself…… I feel complicated.
When I was sowhat troubled on how to respond, the preparations seed to quickly proceed and Fafnir-san agreed to take us on a ride to Rigforeshia.
Sitting next to each other in the spacious carriage with a luxurious interior that must have been several tis larger than the one we rode in before, I felt quite uncomfortable since it was just the two of us in here.
It seems that Fafnir-san is far faster than other dragons, and even if he were to adjust his speed so that our carriage doesn’t shake or fly off, he said that we will reach Rigforeshia in less than half an hour.
[……H- How should I say this, I’m once again reminded of how amazing of a person Kaito-san is.]
[N- No, I didn’t expect this to happen either……]
[……It feels unsettling, isn’t it?]
[……Yes, really.]
In a situation that could be called a completely VIP treatnt, both and Sieg-san aren’t used to it and have been strangely nervous.
However, it’s painful to keep on being nervous for 30 minutes, and I thought of having a conversation with Sieg-san, so I exchanged a few glances with her.
I don’t know if Sieg-san was thinking the sa thing as I was, as even though she looked a little flustered, she took out her magic box.
[Kaito-san, if you’d like, how about we have so tea……]
[T- Thank you.]
[Here.]
[Thank you for the tea.]
Receiving the tea that Sieg-san offered and brought it to my mouth, I drank it all at once. Perhaps, I was more thirty than I thought I would be.
[……As I thought, the tea that Sieg-san brews is delicious.]
[Really? It makes happy to hear that.]
[Do you have any tips to brew such great tea?]
[……Hmmm, let’s see……]
With a cup of tea and a breather, I felt a little more comfortable and naturally began to connect with the conversation.
Hearing the question I told her, Sieg-san cutely put her finger to her mouth…… and after she glanced at , she winked.
[……I guess you just have to brew it with the person you want to serve it to in mind.]
[……Eh? Ah, errr……]
Arehh? What is this? I don’t know if I’m just at a loss for word or not…… but for so reason, Sieg-san’s unexpected gesture made feel so nervous that I couldn’t get the words out of my mouth.
Sieg-san really is a really beautiful woman, and despite her cool appearance, she is an amazingly kind and cheerful person, and how should I say this…… I think she’s a very attractive woman.
Dear Mom, Dad——– I was confused by the unexpected VIP treatnt on our way to Rigforeshia, but all of that was blown away in an instant now. To be able to travel with an attractive woman like Sieg-san, even if it’s a coincidence——- it was a happier event that is more than I realized it was.

{Author’s Notes}
Kaito has beco a wee bit more aware…… In a way, I guess you could call it progress?
Serious-senpai: [Hey…… Why don’t you just let it end as a leisurely dragon ride? Why the heck do you have to end it with them flirting? You’re doing this on purpose… You must be doing on purpose, right?]
