Chapter 139: The Dragonkin and The Winged People

[Ahem… Greeting adventurers. My na is Asrad. I’m a Dragon and the chief of this village.] (Asrad)

A few minutes after Karen desperately trying to save us… the conversation was finally resud.

Asrad started to speak with a serious look to regain the majestic air in the beginning, but…

“As-Jii! Don’t bully everyone!” (Karen)

[Aah, alright, alright. I’m not angry with these people, so calm down.”] (Asrad)

[But, Asrad-sama. I have to say sothing if they are harmful to us–…] (jia)

[Hey! Silent, jia.] (Zenodora)

“I told you, it’s not good!” (Karen)

Since such a truly friendly banters happened until a while ago, there was almost no tension.

By the way, Karen, who was causing the commotion, was currently licking the candy mixed with honey besides Fia while remained still.

Whether the surrounding dragons understood that the discussion wouldn’t progressed forward, they didn’t say anything, but… unlike Zenodora and Asrad, their eyes looking at Karen weren’t gentle.

Although the difference in interest beca a matter of concern, since the other side had ntioned his na, it would be rude if we didn’t do the sa.

Then, we gave our na and at the end of each other’s introduction, Asrad suddenly bowed his head.

[First of all, let thank you for bringing back Karen. She is our comrade.] (Asrad)

[Asrad-sama! I understand your reason, but there is no need to lower your head!] (jia)

It seed that jia raised his voice because he wasn’t conformable with outsiders, but it made think that he was a dragon with strict discipline.

As far as we concerned, they were strict bunch, but since I could understand that it was necessary to give a stern opinion among group mbers, I decided to observe without interjecting them.

[However, it is true that they saved our comrade, Karen. And that also relieved her mother who was worried about her.] (Zenodora)

[That’s true, but…] (jia)

[The last thing to do is to make the decision. Let repeat the question interrupted earlier. Be honest, adventurers. Why are you coming here, visiting my village?] (Asrad)

Changing from the gentle attitude toward Karen, Asrad gave a sharp gaze toward us.

It was as if he could see through our hearts. This was a situation where we could turn all dragons in the village to be enemies if we lied.

In short, he was probably threatening us to confess if we were planning sothing, but since we didn’t have anything to be ashad or nothing to hide, I would reply confidently.

“I think that you have already heard from Zenodora-sama. We ca here to send Karen to her mother since we coincidentally rescued her in the middle of our journey.” (Sirius)

[Is that it?] (Asrad)

“If I have to add one more reason, that is because I’m interested. I was wondering where the winged people live and what kind of living they have.” (Sirius)

[…Did you co for such reasons? You probably will die if you are attacked by us and monsters, you know?] (Asrad)

“That’s because I’m trained to the point not to be killed by monsters and dragons. That is the plan after sending Karen ho, and with this, we have almost achieved our plan.” (Sirius)

When I answered clearly, Asrad looked amazed. Then, he looked at my disciples.

[Are others also the sa?] (Asrad)

“I’m doing this for Karen-chan, but I am following Sirius-sama because I’m his attendant.” (Emilia)

“I’m not his attendant, but I have the sa thought.” (Reese)

“I’m just following Aniki!” (Reus)

“We are a family gathered around Sirius. So, that question serves no purpose.” (Fia)

“Woof!” (Hokuto)

There was also a feeling of pressure due to the big stature of the dragons. Ordinary people would probably cringe with fear just by their glares, but far from looking away, they were answering back without fear.

Well, we weren’t lying anyway.

[Hmm… they don’t seem to be lying.] (Asrad)

[I don’t doubt you, but do you believe them?] (jia)

[At least, they are not our enemies. We just have to keep watching them.] (Asrad)

[Asrad-sama. I’m sorry to interrupt your talk, but I have an important information. I’ve just confird this earlier, but it seems that Frenda’s illness has been healed by these people.] (Zenodora)

[What did you say!? jia, did you see that too?] (Asrad)

[Ye-yes! I’m not sure if she is completely healed or not, but Frenda wasn’t in pain when I saw her.] (jia)

“That’s because Onii-san took the bad thing away, and Okaa-san is fine now!” (Karen)

[As you can see, Karen has also confird that situation. I propose that we should welco them as a reward from saving our comrades.] (Zenodora)

Zenodora made the suggestion while taking a step forward, but the eyes of the dragons, who were holding back in the surroundings, were severe.

Basically, the cause of this was due to the outsiders like us ca here and they probably couldn’t agree like Zenodora.

In the anti, Asrad glanced at us, and then, he finally looked straight at Zenodora.

[Zenodora. It’s true that they saved our comrades, but didn’t you just et them? You were the one who brought them to the village, but aren’t you over valuing them?] (Asrad)

[That’s right. Why can’t you argue that they are not going to harm us?] (jia?)

[I have the basis to confirm that they are not enemies. If they are aiming for winged people, there is no need to bring Karen ho.] (Zenodora)

[Is that the reason for bringing them to the village?] (Asrad)

[If that’s the case, it would be enough if they threaten Karen, and so far, they didn’t do so. More importantly, while knowing that they were under our watch, they also had no reason to treat Frenda.] (Zenodora)

[It is still too early to confirm if Frenda is really healed. They may want to gain our trust in doing so and there is also a possibility that they are aiming for openings.] (jia)

[What? Let alone the foolishness of our people, do you think that we are frail existences that can be easily done? Besides, Asrad-sama judged that they weren’t lying, so it would be a good idea to have deliberate judgnt from now on.] (Zenodora)

The other dragons kept on pressing, but Zenodora’s persuasion continued.

Even so… although I was glad that Zenodora defended us, I wondered why he valued us that much?

[They are humans and yet, they aren’t scared even when they are surrounded by us. And even the one called the Hundred Wolves permit them. So, they are obviously different from the foolish outsiders that we have seen so far.] (Zenodora)

[Hmm, you are right.] (Asrad)

[Above all… isn’t this interesting? Like what the man said earlier, he may show us sothing new. The chief should be able to understand it.] (Zenodora)

[…I see.] (Asrad)

[Anyhow, we should listen to their wish. In any case, they can’t get out of this village without our cooperation.] (Zenodora)

As Zenodora turned around as much as to say that this was the point of compromise, I took a step forward and slightly lowered my head.

For so reason, Zenodora seed to be on our side, but since I didn’t feel any suspicious signs from his words and attitudes, I guessed it was fine to believe him for now.

We listened to various complicated circumstances, and now, we should tell them our request.

[What Zenodora said was reasonable. Let ask you, what would you ask of us? If you want money, I can give you so jewels I dug from this cave.] (Asrad)

“In that case, I would like to stay for a few days in the village.” (Sirius)

[Permission to stay, is it? Tell your reason.] (Asrad)

“I still want to confirm Frenda-san’s progress, but I also would like to see the lives of people living here. I’m not only looking for rare things and scenery. I am traveling to see the way people live.” (Sirius)

Since this was a journey to spread the view, I would like to experience the life here and to understand the relationship between the winged people and the dragons by all ans.

jia and other dragons who seed to be suspicious turned their eyes toward us because of those words.

[Why do you want to know? If it’s about our lives, it will be enough for a day, right?] (jia)

[Besides, you said that Frenda’s treatnt has been completed. Is there still any need to see the progress?] (Asrad)

“I can’t overlook injuries and illnesses. Unlike the tenacious you, the winged people are almost similar to human, so we shouldn’t neglect until she completely recovered. Moreover, I am worried to leave Frenda to those who couldn’t notice that the cause was a foreign matter in her body.” (Sirius)

[What did you say!?] (jia)

Indeed, I was an outsider. I understood that part, but… Frenda was a patient who Reese and I treated. Besides, she was an important mother of Karen who was like our sister. At least, I wanted to observe until she could walk.

It might sound arrogant especially when I wasn’t a doctor, but there were things that I couldn’t let people looked down on .

Although the dragons were frustrated with those provocative words, I would reply without fear.

“Incidentally, I believe that I can truly understand sothing that I experience. To feel it, to look at it by my own eyes and not from the information heard from the books and hearsay. We may be a small existence to you, Dragons, but I don’t think that you surpass us at everything.” (Sirius)

[Hmm… do you go around with that kind of mouth?] (Random Dragon)

[If you didn’t save our comrade, I would already bite you with my fangs…] (Random Dragon B)

“The fang is ! You don’t know if I’m going to bite you!” (Reus)

“Gurururu!” (Hokuto)

“You can’t fight!” (Karen)

Fight… we shouldn’t go that far. Sowhat, this situation beca bad. Not only Reus and Hokuto, Karen also stood in front to defend us.

When I smiled since Karen wasn’t scared at all in such a situation, Asrad, who was watching the circumstances, suddenly laughed out loud.

[Hahaha! Back down, you all. Just admit that it’s our lose.] (Asrad)

[…If the chief say so.] (Random Dragon)

[Kuh! To be told to back down even when we are the Dragonkin…] (Random Dragon)

It seed that they didn’t really hate us from the very beginning. It was just that they were frustrated because he had to relent for now. Indeed, the Dragonkin were a kind that hated losing.

[What? These people are going to stay in the village for a while. If you think that you have lost, you can challenge them for a match later. And since his big mouth didn’t seem like a lie, shall we thorough observe them? You also may look at us.] (Asrad)

“Asrad -sama. That an…” (Sirius)

[Aah. We welco you all and I permit you to stay in the village.] (Asrad)

“Thank you very much. However, since it’s a bother to watch us all the ti, please do it in moderation.” (Sirius)

“…We’re going to be fine, right?” (Emilia)

“Yes, we will stay with Karen.” (Fia)

“As-jii! ” (Karen)

Since it was guaranteed by Fia, Karen, who was pleased, leaped onto Asrad’s tail which lied before him. Then, the tail was lifted and Karen was put on his palm.

Although it was a considerable height based on the size of the dragon, it seed that Karen was used to it when looking how glad she was. Their relationship seed good.

[Although I have made the decision, there are many of us who are cautious toward outsiders. Pay attention not to cause problems.] (Asrad)

“Understood.” (Sirius)

[In that case, I would like to guide these people.] (Zenodora)

[Hmm, I leave the guests to Zenodora. With this, we will dismiss for today. People, watch your manners and don’t embarrassed the na of the Dragonkin.] (Asrad)

[[[Yes!]]] (Dragons)

All dragons turned around according to Asrad’s order. Then, then moved to the entrance of the cave.

However, while on their way there, only jia turned around to look at us… No, I wondered why he was looking only at .

He seed to have sa feeling as , but in the end, he tilted his neck without saying anything and left the cave.

As we, Asrad and Zenodora were the only ones remained in the cave, we were talking about the future plan.

[Well, it’s about the place where you can stay…] (Zenodora)

“It’s my house!” (Karen)

[Hmm… It’s reasonable, but it will be too crowded for five people to stay in that house.] (Asrad)

“We have camping tools. We’re fine to sleep outside even if there is no beds.” (Sirius)

“Everyone doesn’t need to enter the house, and it’s alright if rotate every day.” (Reese)

“I’ll be glad if it gets narrower. That way, I can legitimately sleep by Sirius-sama’s side, and… uhmpph!” (Emilia)

It might be because the situation got better, Emilia’s mouth began to let loose, but I was sohow able to cover her mouth. Recently, I was concerned about Karen, and may be that was why she was a bit spoiled.

I was able to feel relax since we were able to send Karen ho safely. Tonight, it was highly likely that she would get into my bed and sweet-biting my neck and shoulders.

“Excuse , is there a building where there is no villagers nearby?” (Fia)

[Oh yeah… there is a hut that we use as a storehouse at the edge of the village. No one will co close at night, so you may use it freely if you don’t leave it untidy.] (Zenodora)

“Alright, we need to check that later. If it’s the sound, my wind can handle it. So cleaning it should be…” (Fia)

“What are you planning about here!?” (Emilia)

Normally, Fia would join making jokes together, but she were often stop doing it if there were other people around them. Recently, It might be because she was extrely furious when looking at Karen.

What we were missing right now maybe the role of a joker.

After that, we got on the back of Zenodora again and returned to Karen’s house.

The three dragons who were sitting and relaxing outside the house, ascertained the appearance of Hokuto. I unintentionally leaked a bitter smile looking at the sight where they welco us side by sight with the upright posture.

[[[Welco back.]]] (Eye/Rai/Kuva)

“Woof!” (Hokuto)

Well… there was no problem since I didn’t really dislike them.

I entrusted the outside to Hokuto and when we entered the ho with Zenodora, who had changed to the human form, Debra greeted us with a smile along with a good sll of cooking.

“Welco back. I’m glad that you return safely.” (Debra)

“Thank you for your concern. We got the permission to stay here from the chief.” (Sirius)

“They can stay together with !” (Karen)

I inford her the result after calming the excited Karen. When I said that I wanted to see the progress of Frenda for a while, Debra was sighing while looking astonished.

“Hah… adventurers are really unusual people.” (Debra)

“Don’t you agree? It is completely like the return of that man.” (Zenodora)

I was concerned about Debra and Zenodora who looked at each other with bitter smiles. However, Reese and Reus’ stomach made a loud sound at the sa ti. It seed there was a limit of holding back with the dried at eaten on the way here.

“Hahaha, let’s have a dinner first. I don’t know if it suits your taste, but please don’t hesitate to eat because I cooked a lot. Zenodora-sama, how about you?” (Debra)

“Well, if that’s the case, shall I have it too? I still want to talk with everyone.” (Zenodora)

“ too. More importantly, the three waiting outside are–…” (Sirius)

“It’s fine to leave those fools for a while. When I return, they will be dismissed.” (Zenodora)

It seed that contained the aning of reflecting, but well… why was that.

‘Just bear with it a bit more, you three dragons.’

‘By the way, let’s sneak so food for them.’

By the ti I confird whether there was no abnormality in Frenda, the preparation was over. It was a bit crowded, but everyone sat at the table and it beca a late dinner.

This was probably their style as there were many dishes using vegetables more than at. In particular, potatoes occupied most of the dishes.

“Do you an this? This is the fruit that can be harvested here, and we’re eating it a lot. The taste is reasonable, but its size is big.” (Debra)

It seed that the winged people were involved in agriculture, and that was why there was bread, but in this village, potato was their staple food.

It was about the size that one could grasp with the palm. The shape was round and the surface was bumpy. This food ingredient looked close to the potato seen in the previous life based on how it was used for stew, sizeable cut and bake.

It had a bit unique texture, but by simring it in stew, it beca a just right flavor.

“The taste perate in and it is very tasty.” (Sirius)

“Delicious! I want more!” (Reus)

“Another please.” (Reese)

“I also like the taste quite a bit, but I can’t eat too much maybe because I’m still full.” (Emilia)

The disciples seed to like it, so I should procure so before leaving the village.

Since we didn’t bring a lot of spices when we ca to such a mountain, this was tasty on the whole, and I liked it quite well. Speaking of the taste of ho… it was a taste that cald people down when eating.

While the glutton siblings had seconds one after another, Karen, who finished eating the first stew, also presented the plate to Debra.

“More!” (Karen)

“Oh my, it’s rare for Karen to ask for more. You’re always already full at this point.” (Debra)

“I want to be like Onee-chans. I will eat a lot and grow fast.” (Karen)

“Hehe, aren’t you happy when you saying that?” (Debra)

“I don’t think she can eat too much, so it’s fine to fill half of the plate.” (Sirius)

“It’s important to eat a al happily. It’s a waste if you get hungry later.” (Debra)

“Yeah! Obaa-chan, just half of it!” (Karen)

“…Alright. I will put in your favorite ingredient.” (Debra)

Karen ate more than usual maybe because these were the dishes made by her family.

Whether it was really unusual according to what Debra said earlier, she received the plate with a smile while looking surprised. Besides that, there was sothing that I felt concerned, but since it wasn’t serious, I left it alone and it was probably going to be fine.

By the way, I didn’t ntion about the fact that I never saw Reese suffering from empty stomach.

The dinner ended after a while, and the dishes that were put on the table were all finished.

When the dinner had ended, Karen and Reese left us and headed toward Frenda, while we had an after al rest with a tea Emilia brewed.

“I heard from Emilia that they eat a lot, but I didn’t expect that it would be this much. The house stockpiles has beco empty.” (Debra)

“Sorry. I will secure the ingredients tomorrow. Right, Reus?” (Sirius)

“Ouh! Leave the hunting to !” (Reus)

“Hahaha, you don’t have to worry so much. Anyhow, since Karen wasn’t here, my daughter and I didn’t have much appetite. So, it’s fine.” (Debra)

Debra said so as she laugh. It seed she was rather having the stocked ingredients eaten than getting spoiled.

She was shouting at us at the beginning because she was ntally tired, but this was the real Debra. She was a gentle person and had a touch of a mother.

“Besides, no matter how much you hunt to replace the ingredients, my daughter and grandchild could never be replaced. I have no regret if it’s about the stockpile.” (Debra)

“But, we’re going to bother you for a while, so we will help you with many things.” (Sirius)

“You’re sincere, is it? Well then, please don’t overdo it. This house is a bit small, but please think it as your ho.” (Debra)

During the al, we had received the permission to stay in this house. Karen also was asking for that.

As I asked variously about the life of the village from Zenodora and Debra, Reese alone ca back from the next room.

“How’s Karen?” (Sirius)

“She soon fell asleep while watching Frenda’s face, so I put her on the next bed.” (Reese)

“There were many things going on today, so it was normal to get hungry.” (Fia)

“Excuse for leaving Karen to you.” (Debra)

“Don’t worry about it because I like doing it. Besides, her sleeping face is cute…” (Reese)

In Elysion, Reese was often spoiled by her sister, but before eting Princess Liefell, she looked after younger children in her birthplace. So, she could handle children very well.

After that, when Reese sat on a chair with satisfying smile and served black tea by Emilia, a knocking door sound sounded from the entrance.

It looked like it wasn’t an enemy at this ti since Hokuto and the three dragons outside didn’t make a noise. When I confird the presence, an expected person ca here.

“I’m going to co in.” (??)

The door was opened before Debra answered, and the one who showed up in front of us was… the Dragonkin, Asrad in his human form.

The people who visited hos here were soone they already knew, so if they gave at least hint, there was no problem if they went into the ho without permission.

“Asrad-sama!?” (Debra)

“What? I just ca to see how is our guests and Frenda who has been treated. Since I ca here as a personal matter, you don’t have to be formal and do like always.

“Understood. Well then, I’ll prepare a drink for you–…” (Debra)

“Please leave it to .” (Emilia)

The appearance was an old man that people wouldn’t feel strange if he used walking stick, but from the air that surround his presence and nature, there was no doubt that he was Asrad.

However, it didn’t feel like he was old from the way he walked and sit on a nearby chair. In the anti, Emilia was preparing a cup of tea for him.

“Hahaha, it’s an honor to be server tea by a beautiful girl like you. Ooh… this is good. This is the first ti I taste a delicious tea!” (Asrad)

“It really suits your liking, after all.” (Emilia)

“You’re not only good at making delicious tea, but also have good talent, isn’t it? Emilia, will you make tea just for in the future?” (Asrad)

“I have swore my life to Sirius-sama, so I have to refuse your offer.” (Emilia)

“It seems you are fird. However, even though I look like this, I am still good as a man. I am confident to make a woman happy…” (Asrad)

“I am already happy, so I have to refuse.” (Emilia)

‘Sohow… Emilia was suddenly got hit on.’

When we t him when he was in the dragon form, the image was soone who was serious for the sake of the village, but…

“That’s right. This is the true Asrad-sama… No, he is my grandfather.” (Debra)

He didn’t only like children, but also unparalleled won.

At the sa ti, he turned out to be the relative of Zenodora. Truthfully, there were resemblance parts like the air and the expression.

“Is it no good? You may think this as a favor to old man who doesn’t have long to live, and even a little bit is…” (Asrad)

“No good.” (Emilia)

“…As you can see, I like children, but I also like won. Perhaps, even if other won ask out, you can tell if I am too persistent. In that situation, you can hit . The Dragonkin is sturdy after all.” (Asrad)

“I will rember.” (Emilia)

Even when Emilia clearly rejected him, he was an old man who didn’t learn a lesson and continued to entice.

Fia would be fine, but I had to pay special attention to Reese who was weak against request that had no ill intention.

‘Let’s be careful.’

“Jii-san, have you forgotten your purpose?” (Debra)

“Aah, yes. Debra, let’s go inside for a bit.” (Asrad)

Apparently, Asrad visited here many tis as he went into the room where Frenda and Karen were sleeping without hesitation. He soon ca out and let out a breath of relief.

“Hmm, I certainly can feel vitality from Frenda. She would probably fine if she is already in that condition.” (Asrad)

“Yes. As expected, it’s hard especially when you are the chief.” (Debra)

“I would love to say ‘of course’ but for , Frenda and Karen are sowhat special. I am sohow unqualified to be the chief of the village.” (Asrad)

“That remind , Karen looked pretty close to her Ojii-chan, right? But, the tribe is different, so…” (Emilia)

“No, Karen-chan and I are not blood related. Oh yes… I wanted to know about you guys a lot, so you may tell a bit about yourselves. Is Debra alright with that?” (Asrad)

“Yes. I’m fine if it is them.” (Debra)

As he got the permission, Asrad began to speak with distant looking eyes.

“I had two… No, before Karen was born, it was only a few years I began to care about Frenda. On that day, in order to protect the village’s peace, I was watching the surroundings from the sky.” (Asrad)

“That’s not right, Jii-san. You were bored, so at that ti, you were quietly trying to go for a walk in the sky without permission.” (Zenodora)

Asrad wielded his tail at those unnecessary saying, but Zenodora defended against the blow with his tail. Actually, that was normal occurrence.

“Ahem… Anyhow, when I was flying in the sky, I saw soone was fighting on the ground.” (Asrad)

And when Asrad looked down on the ground, it looked like Frenda was chased by several adventurers.

“They were adventurers who were sneaking in to kidnap the rare winged people. They found Frenda who was procuring ingredients in the forest by chance.” (Asrad)

Frenda tried to escape by leaping into the sky, but she was pulled down to the ground by wind magic. She was also shot down by an arrow put on with paralytic poison in order to prevent her from escaping.

But then, at that ti… a man among the adventurers jumped out. He accepted the arrow shot with his body and furthermore, he began to embrace Frenda.

“The man didn’t withdraw a step against those with weapons, and he desperately trying to protect Frenda. That was when I descended on the ground.” (Asrad)

Asrad intervened the situation and quickly eliminated the adventurers on the spot. Then, he looked down at the man who was had been paralyzed.

No matter what kind of behavior, there was no doubt that the fools were his comrades based on how they were acting together. But when Asrad was thinking about dealing with…

“That guy was smiling. When I asked why, he said that he was glad that Frenda was safe. He seed sincere.” (Asrad)

When he heard the details, it seed the man ca here purely because of the interest that he wanted to see winged people. The others were adventurers who hired him as their escort and guide.

By chance, they found a winged person before being found by the dragon, and those who hired the man couldn’t hold back their greed.

“That man’s na is Beat. He was a human man…. and Karen’s father.” (Asrad)

In short, Beat was a man who was traveling with sa purpose of expanding the view just like us.

Asrad and Zenodora weren’t only surprised because of our words. They were like that because it felt nostalgic.

“When I inquired further, he seed to fall in love at first sight. However, he was sowhat poisoned, so I decided to take Beat ho. Everyone in the village was distrustful of beat, but Frenda who was rescued, didn’t share similar feeling. When I realized, they had tied a knot.” (Asrad)

“So of my comrades didn’t think well about the outsiders, but it was a fact that the living had beca easier with the knowledge Beat brought from outside.

“So, Karen was a child born between a human and a winged person.” (Emilia)

“Eh? But, Karen-chan’s father is…” (Reese)

“Hmmm. When Frenda was pregnant, Beat’s state of health beca worse, and he died a while before Karen was born.” (Asrad)

I understood now why Debra looked complicated when she heard that we were adventurers.

The reason was probably because we were the sa kind of people who put the daughter and grandchild in danger a while ago.

“Since I brought that man here, I couldn’t leave this matter alone. Karen was born after that, and when I noticed, she started to call like that.” (Asrad)

“In spite of being harsh on his own grandchildren, he is a sweet old man toward Karen.” (Zenodora)

“You’re noisy! I’ve decided that girls are cuter than boys. Besides, we have to train hard as a Dragonkin, so it was natural for to get strict.” (Asrad)

The two of them wagged their tails t each other again. Hence, I was convinced in many ways when I heard the story.

In fact, there were several handwritten books in the room where we allowed to stay. Perhaps, it was written by Karen’s father, Beat.

The books contained his experiences on the unusual events and places. Karen probably read those books, and that was she grew up with a strong curiosity. Well, that was my presumption to the end.

So questions were answered with this, but Reese alone was muttering while looking a bit sad.

“Could it be that Karen’s father was a human, and her wings beca like that?” (Reese)

“It’s not related. I heard my grandfather’s grandfather was a winged person.” (Asrad)

“It doesn’t matter. It can’t be helped even if we are concerned about it. Karen is still Karen no matter how her wings are.” (Fia)

“Is that so? I see. Karen-chan is like our little sister.” (Reese)

If the cause wasn’t because of the racial differences, was it like a mutation?

In the case of Karen, in addition to her being colorless, she seed to be a miraculous existence in a sense.

But, as Fia said, we couldn’t do anything about it. It was a matter of accepting Karen as who she was and treated her like always.

Rather than being a fool who decided based on the appearance, I wanted to use her as an evidence of soone having a firm mind.

Karen told many things when she stayed with us. So, I decided to ask this question that I had in mind since the ti I heard about this place.

“I have one question. I was wondering why the Dragonkin live together with the winged people?” (Sirius)

It is obvious in terms of individual capabilities and physiques, but other than able to fly in the sky, I can’t see anything else in common.

In addition, I heard from Debrah that there is no hierarchical relationship like master and slave. It seed that they co-existed very well.

“Hmm, the Dragonkin is certainly excel in abilities, but there are many things which fatally inferior to others. Do you understand why?” (Asrad)

“The number… is it?” (Fia)

“That’s right. The Dragonkin have a very low fertility rate. It may be because we have a long life span. Thus, it is very rare for us to have children.” (Asrad)

“It is a similar situation as the Elves. However, it seems that the number of Dragonkin is lower than the Elves. I guess their birth rate is lower than us.” (Fia)

“You got it right. When the Dragonkin still hadn’t live in the village, our ancestors tried it with other races around various continents, and none of them having children with us. However, the only tribe that can bear our children is the winged people.” (Asrad)

Although it wasn’t absolute, there was a probability of new Dragonkin in one out of ten people.

Since the number of brethren was small since the beginning, they decided to coexist and helped each other.

“…” (Sirius)

“…Sirius-sama, what are you going to do about it?” (Emilia)

“Uh…I’m fine. Can I ask one more question?” (Sirius)

Every ti I heard about the Dragonkin, I rembered Goraon… the Dragonkin who I t in the labyrinth of the Elysion school.

Although he was an enemy, I had killed a few other of Dragonkin too.

I had no regret having done it, but as the person who did it, it might be an obligation to inform it.

“Have you heard this na… Goraon?” (Sirius)

““!?”” (Asrad/Zenodora)

When I gave out the na, the two Dragonkin gave the biggest reaction since I visited this village.

Asrad, in particular, was staring with a serious expression, but Zenodora, who beca calm a bit, asked .

“Sirius, where have you heard the na?” (Zenodora)

“A few years ago, a Dragonkin nad Goraon appeared in front of us. And then…” (Sirius)

He was a murderer who was wanted by the guild and since he was aiming for the disciples’ lives for the sake of pleasure, I told him that I had to bring him down.

Since they didn’t display the feeling of getting revenge, it could be said that I had told nothing wrong.

“…That’s how it is. I had to save my disciple, so I had to lay my hands on your brethren.” (Sirius)

“No, Goraon did sothing that must be avoided, so he was fated to die. I would like to thank you for stopping those who defiled the price of the Dragonkin. I was the one… who supposed to bring him down.” (Asrad)

“However, there is a bit problem in that. Goraon is… the older brother of jia, who was together with a while ago.” (Zenodora)

He was a brother of soone who wasn’t likeable, huh?

Sohow, the carefree sightseeing… I couldn’t have it.

Extra/Bonus – Intuition Act 2

This is from the main story.

“You’re not only good at making delicious tea, but also have good talent, isn’t it? Emilia, will you make tea just for in the future?” (Asrad)

“I have swore my life to Sirius-sama, so I have to refuse your offer.” (Emilia)

“It seems you are fird. However, even though I look like this, I am still good as a man. I am confident to make a woman happy…” (Asrad)

“I am already happy, so I have to refuse.” (Emilia)

“Ughh!?” (Lior)

“What’s wrong… uhm, it seems sothing like this has happened before, isn’t it?” (Beowulf)

“…I sense that there is a bug trying to stuck to my Emilia!” (Lior)

“‘Your Emilia’… since when Emilia-san is belonged to Lior-san…” (Beowulf)

“Let’s move, boy! That way!” (Lior)

“Wa-wait a sec!? That is the sea! There are many monsters in the danger zone…” (Beowulf)

“Oraaa–!” (Lior)

※Since they were going to survive anyway, there was no outco.

Extra/Bonus – Doctor S

“Operation starts! Knife!” (sirius)

“Yes!” (Emilia)

With the knife handed by hand from Emilia, Frenda’s surgery began.

“Ooo, ooh!? What a beautiful cut!?” (Reus)

“The treatnt is too fast, isn’t it!? My eyes can’t catch up!” (Fia)

I opened a wound from Frenda’s side. Then, I used [String]s to take out the foreign matter.

“L-look! Aniki hasn’t blinked from a while ago!” (Reus)

“Geez, to carry the operation up to that level…” (Fia)

“This man… is he a God!?” (Debra)

※When it ca to dical manga, this was sothing the author had in mind.

Hokuto and the Three Dragons

When the Master was having dinner at Karen’s house, the three Dragons and Hokuto-kun were leisurely relaxing outside…

[…I’m hungry.] (Eye)

[But, we can’t leave this place.] (Kuva)

[This is probably another Zenodora-sama’s punishnt. We can do nothing but to endure.] (Rai)

Actually no. The hungry three dragons were sitting without energy.

Hokuto-kun was alright, but it couldn’t be helped to feel pitiful when looking at the sight with ringing stomach.

Anyhow…

“Woof!” (Hokuto)

[Yes? What is it, Hokuto-sama?] (Eye)

[What is he telling us now…] (Kuva)

[Wh-where are you going!?] (Rai)

A few minutes later…

“Woof!” (Hokuto)

[[[This is…!?]]] (Eye/Kuva/Rai)

Hokuto-kun leaped into the nearby forest, and had brought a fat pig monster.

While the three dragons were surprised, he ignored them and headed toward the dragons. When he opened his mouth…

“…Woof.” (Hokuto)

Anyhow, he left the monster as if he was telling that he didn’t need to eat.

When the three dragons tilted the neck thinking whether they could eat it, Hokuto-kun put his forefoot on the monster…

“Woof!” (Hokuto)

He barked… telling them that it was fine to eat sothing because they were hungry.

[Does he an that… we can eat it?] (Rye)

[Bu-but, we did bad things to Hokuto-sama…] (Kuva)

[Besides, if this is Zenodora-sana’s self reflection, Hokuto-sama would be scold.] (Rai)

“Woof!” (Hokuto)

‘What?, I’ll take the responsibility.’

Hokuto turned around and barked… saying that if Zenodora-san asked about it, they could tell that he ordered them to eat it.

The three dragons were trembling at his tolerance, and they began to eat the monster.

“Woof!” (Hokuto)

[[[Yes!]]] (Eye/Kuva/Rai)

After telling them to eat without leaving the bone and to destroy the evidence, Hokuto-kun watched them in satisfaction.

Thus, the loyalty of the three dragons toward Hokuto-kun was further increased.

However, they didn’t realize that.

That was Hokuto-kun strategy of getting new allies, in the case of ergency especially if the village Dragonkin beca enemies.

“Woof!” (Hokuto)

“Eh? They seems to eat sothing… oh well, that’s fine. Here, this is the dry at sent by Aniki.” (Reus)

[[[Delicious!]]] (Eye/Kuva/Rai)

Incidentally, the intimacy of Reus also increased.
