The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee Chapter 127 - Morning Visitor

Chapter 127 – Morning Visitor

Translator: ranzan

After Timisoara left and I returned to my house, Millet and the others were waiting.

As was the chief.

「Alfred, what the heck was that?」

「Chief, thanks for waiting for . I’ll tell you everything that happened.」

Since it was night, probably only a few people saw the dragon.

But as the dragon was so massive, soone had to have seen sothing.

So I just explained everything in simple terms.

「I see. So a relative of Shiggy ca.」

「ryaaa」

Shiggy went over to the chief and cried out happily.

The chief petted Shiggy and she looked happy.

「Well, that’s a relief.」

「Sorry about the bother.」

So the chief went ho.

Even at night, if sothing was wrong he would co running. Must be a hard job.

「What happened? You…don’t look hurt.」

Yureena was worried.

「Just finished a conversation.」

「The chief said that it was a relative of Shiggy’s? What did it want?」

「Simply put…custody rights.」

「Sounds rough.」

I explained what happened a little more precisely to Yureena.

I told the chief that a relative simply ca to see Shiggy. No need to get him hot and bothered about anything.

I told her about the viscount Timisoara and the dragon seal as well.

「I’m glad she accepted you as the one to care for Shiggy.」

「ryaaa」

Yureena patted Shiggy’s head.

Everyone loved to pet the dragon…it was cute, after all.

「Great to hear, Shiggy!」

「Your aunt ca to sthee you!」

「ryaaa!」

Collette and Millet both pet her as well. Shiggy looked very happy.

Then Cruz suddenly said,

「Al, I’m hungry.」

「I have dinner ready for you.」

Millet said with a smile.

「Oh…thanks!」

「I’m hungry too!」Vi-Vi said.

「Al, after you’ve had that surgery, you’ve got to eat to get better.」

The food Millet made for dinner was delicious.

After we ate, I hurried off to bed.

I was tired from making those harvesting golems and having my knee opened up to get that stone removed.

「I’ll be right beside you, so you can sleep well!」

Cruz followed into the bedroom. She puffed out her chest with pride.

「Thanks, Cruz.」

「No problem, don’t worry!」

And I fell asleep.

That night, my knee started to hurt again and I woke up.

But it didn’t hurt so badly. Maybe because Cruz was there.

I petted Shiggy, who was lying on , and fell back asleep.

◇◇◇◇

When I woke up that morning, Moofy was chewing on my left hand again.

「Mmmph mmmph」

「I don’t think my hand tastes that good….」

「mmph mppphh」

I pulled my hand out of Moofy’s mouth.

「Moo?」

And with that, Moofy woke up. She then put her nose on top of .

Kind of heavy.

「You’re heavy.」

「Moo?」

Still, I rubbed her snout.

While this was going on, Yureena ca in.

「Everyti I co in here, the place is filled with creatures.」

「’morning, Yureena.」

「Good morning.」

Yureena then rubbed the head of Cruz, who was lying next to .

Cruz still slept happily.

「Yawwwnnn」

「Heh, cute as usual.」

After rubbing Cruz’ head for a bit, Yureena looked at my knee.

「Hm…seems another stone is growing.」

「And you just took the other one out…」

「If it grows at yesterday’s pace, I’ll probably have to remove it again tonight.」

「Sorry about all this.」

「It’s fine. Just hold back on the magic.」

Scary. Everyday I might need surgery. This sucks.

But I will try not to use magic.

And with that, we all went to the breakfast table.

There was an unknown girl there talking to Luka.

「Oh, Al, good morning.」

「Alfred Lint, you’ve finally awoken.」

It seed that Luka really didn’t know this girl either.

But it seems she knew .

「Ah…good morning…ummm.」

「ryaaa」

I was going to ask who she was, but Shiggy jumped and opened her eyes widely.

「W…what is it, Shiggy?」

Shiggy then flapped her wings wildly.

Cruz looked at the girl, and said with a slightly surprised smile,

「Oh, Timi! You’ve co to see Shiggy?」

「Yes, Cruz. I’ve co to see Sighisoara again.」

「Wait, Timi? You an Timisoara?」

「Yes, that’s right?」

Timisoara said with a confused look on her face.

She looked at as if it was obvious.

There’s no way this is the dragon from last night. Now she’s just a normal, cute girl.

After seeing my shock, Luka said with a smile,

「See, I knew Al would be surprised.」

「Yes. It’s strange that humans don’t know we can change appearance.」

「Of course. Well, most humans get their information from vision.」

「Cruz knew, and your perception was also exceptional, Luka.」

「Cruz is a special case.」

「Is that so? Well, still exceptional.」

「Heh heh heh」

Cruz was a bit bashful at being complinted. You never knew what she was good at.

And sohow it seems that Luka had befriended this new visitor as well.

It’s strange that they beca close so quickly.

「So when did you two beco so close?」

「Hm? That’s how it is, I guess. We don’t need to be polite, just call Timi.」

「Okay, Timi.」

Timi then nodded happily.

She then reached out and petted Shiggy. Shiggy looked very happy.

「Since you told I could visit anyti, I decided to return this morning. I wanted to see cute Sighisoara again.」

「Well, when she says morning she ans as soon as the sun ca up.」

「Morning is morning. But Sighisoara was still asleep, so I started talking to Luka.」

「It was fun hearing everything about the ancient dragons.」

「And it was interesting to hear your stories. It was all new to .」

It seems the exchange of monster stories and ancient dragon stories was quite a happy one.

I’m sure Luka learned a lot from what the ancient dragon had to say.

They probably felt like kindred spirits to one another. A real happy encounter.

And Timi really seed like a human, too. When I saw the two talking, she looked like nothing but a human.

「So are you used to human shape, Timi?」

「Of course. I’m an ancient dragon. It’s easy to take a human shape for a few hours.」

She said proudly as she puffed her chest out.

I guess ancient dragons can easily take human shape. Never knew that.

「You ca to see what shape Shiggy was in? Thanks.」

「Sure.」

Timi petted Shiggy again.

After a while, Timi looked at and said「Ah!」

「I rember, I had sothing to tell you!」

「Hm?」

「I must give you an honored dragon na with Ra.」

「Ra?」

「Yes…Jilnidora, Sighisoara, and my na is Timisoara. We all have ra, right?」

「I see…」

「All ancient dragons that have a honored title are given na with the syllable ra.」

「Is that how that works…」

First ti I’ve heard of it.

First ti for Luka too. Her eyes shimred as she wrote it all down in her notes.

「You were given the child of a duchess to look over and given a dragon seal. That’s enough for you to deserve one.」

「Ra…」

「Yes, I think the na Alfredora is an excellent na.」

「Alfredora?」

It was a bit weird…I didn’t like to be called it.

「Hm? Oh, yes. The full na is important for humans, so Viscount Alfredora Lint shall be your dragon na.」

「Oh…okay?」

I wanted to refuse but…I couldn’t.

I guess having a na with ra in it was very honored among the dragons.

That’s why there was no real way I could refuse her.

「Al…no, Alfredora! Cool! Wish I was called that.」

Cruz said innocently.

「Y…yeah…」

「Right? Right?」

「ryaaa」

Shiggy flapped her wings happily.

「Alfredora, you like your na?」

「I think it suits you.」

Luka and Yureena said, not backing up at all. Geez.

I was trying to think of how to refuse the offer when Timi looked at , troubled.

「Hm? You don’t like the na? I can’t believe it…」

Timi looked like she would cry.

I can’t face a weeping girl…so I tried to make an excuse.

「It’s not that I don’t like it…」

「Really? You’re not just saying that?」

「No…I’m not…」

「Good! Then you’re happy with changing your na?」

「…it’s an honor…」

「Yes. I knew it. I’m glad you like it, Alfredora.」

「…yeah…」

And that’s kind of how I beca Alfredora…
