Nighttime in the Dragon House. 

 

While the dragons were sleeping, I faced Chris.

 

“So…I will be away from home on a commission, please protect Rhea while I am gone.” 

 

“Me?”

 

“Yeah. If it is you Chris I will be able to leave it to you with no worries. Because you are my trump card.” 

 

“Kuhahahahaha, of course!”  

 

Chris looked up at the ceiling with good spirits and released a belly laugh. 

 

The sound of his laughter woke up Emma who was next to them. She raised her head, saw that Chris and I were talking, recognized the sound of Chris’ laughter then drifted back to sleep. 

 

“It’s alright, you can rest easy.” 

 

“Thank you.”

 

“It’s all good but…why are you leaving it to me? Didn’t you threaten the merchant and stop his plan of targeting Rhea?” 

 

I laughed bitterly. 

 

Chris was referring to how I explained Pierre’s threat to Jeanne.

 

“Was that a lie?” 

 

“No, it wasn’t a lie. I said it with a purpose and I think it could stop his plans.” 

 

“Hmmm?” 

 

Chris tilted his head inquisitively. 

 

It was a face that asked, “Then why?” 

 

“Humans don’t really operate on logic. They are not very clever…even stupid.  If we are dealing with people like that then things might not go as expected.”  

 

“…Kuhahahahaha” 

 

Chris stared at me for a while then looked up at the ceiling again and laughed. 

 

“You’re being loud! Go to sleep!” 

 

At the second laugh, Colette raised her head and protested. 

 

“Kuhahahahaha, I’m the only one who is immortal and therefore I don’t need sleep.” 

 

“Jeez!” 

 

Colette fumed at Chris’ retort, curled up her body super tight, and tucked her head to shut out their voices. 

 

“Why did you laugh just now?” 

 

“Hmm, probably because I was relieved.” 

 

“Relieved? What do you mean?” 

 

“From what my best friend has said the princess was impressed but I was worried because I overestimated the ability of humans.” 

 

“What the heck?! Was that another trick question?” 

 

“Kuhahahahaha, sorry.” 

 

I snickered and Chris once again laughed loudly.  

 

“You’re being loud!” 

 

The awakened Colette yelled. As she yelled, she lunged angrily at Chris and bit him. Naturally, Chris was used to this and was accustomed to being bit like that. 

 

“Um, my friend is right. Most humans were not very wise. Even if the merchant is the exception and stands his ground there is no guarantee his comrades wouldn’t run away.”   

 

“…I see.” 

 

“Well as long as we are here, we will be okay. I don’t think there is cause to worry.”  

 

“Thank you.” 

 

“Kuhahahahaha.” 

 

I thanked him, Chris’s laugh grew merrier, and Colette continued to bite him. 

☆☆☆

The next morning, I went out with Colette. 

 

They were going to protect the Master Dragon egg. 

 

“Hey… why me?” 

 

Colette asked as they walked down the path made for the dragons. Her voice seemed light like she was having fun. 　

 

“There are two reasons.” 

 

“Two?” 

 

“The first reason is your ability to make five Dragon Balls.” 

 

“The other reason?” 

 

“If push comes to shove you could swallow the egg.”  

 

“I see.” 

 

Colette was convinced and nodded. 

 

“But…it could be dangerous for you Colette.” 

 

“It’s fine, I can handle it.” 

 

“I see…well then I will leave it to you.” 

 

“Leave it to me!” 

 

Colette accepted the request from me good-naturedly. 

 

Of course, there was a plan, but the best-case scenario would be if nothing occurred while they were protecting the egg and I could do the job with my own power. 

 

In the case of an emergency, I would like to avoid putting Colette in danger.

☆☆☆

We arrived at a post town in the evening and I looked around to find a place to stay for the night. 

 

If the road to the post town was made for dragons the town itself also accommodated dragons. 

 

Most of the inns seemed to have dragon houses or something similar and it did not appear it would be a problem for a Dragon Knight with a dragon to stay in the town.

I went inside one with Colette. 

 

Inside the first-floor lobby was a bar, and even though it was evening and there were guests in the bar, they were already serving sake. 

 

“Please wait here a bit.” 

 

“Okay.” 

 

Since it was crowded I had Colette wait near the entrance and made my way to the counter. 

 

I made it to the counter and talked to a man who appeared to be the owner. 

 

“I would like to stay here for the night.” 

 

“How many people? How many heads?” 

 

The owner glanced at the door where Colette was waiting. 

 

“Just me and the Mushushu child.”

 

“The second-floor rooms are 50 Reals. The top floor is 100 and a room with a window is 200.” 

 

“I see. How about the dragon?”

 

“You can put it in an empty spot in the dragon house. The fee is included in the fee for the room.” 

 

“I see.” 

 

I nodded. 

It wasn’t ideal but I knew it was normal and didn’t see a point in fighting it, so I decided to go through with it. 

 

“A room with a window please.” 

 

“Understood. Your name and guild?” 

 

“Cyris Larose. My guild is Dragon First.” 

 

“Dragon First?” 

 

I heard another man’s voice come from my side. I turned and saw four men sitting with one knee propped up drinking alcohol. 

 

“What?” 

 

“What is Dragon First? The recently famous one?” 

 

“…I wonder about that.” 

 

I didn’t really want to get involved with them, so I answered vaguely and turned back to the innkeeper. At that time, I was planning to pay the 200 Real fee for the room accommodation.

 

“Oh yeah, there’s a rumor that you had sex with the woman in your guild.” 

 

“…What?” 

My eyebrows raised. Once I heard that I couldn’t just let it slide. 

 

“Oh? Did we make the ladies’ man angry?” 

 

“You understand, don’t you? You’re the princesses favorite.” 

 

“…”

 

“Well, she is a princess after all. She can’t be helped but be fooled and coerced by a man with an agenda.” 

 

“Well even if she is tricked, she’s probably still happy.” 

 

“You’re not wrong!” 

 

“Ahahahahahaha” 

 

The men burst into laughter and toasted each other. 

 

“Hey.” 

 

“Hmmm? What’s that lady killer?” 

 

“Take back what you said.” 

 

“What are you angry about? It has nothing to do with you…” 

 

“She is not that shallow. Take it back.” 

 

“What? You completely in love with her or something?” 

 

“Transform.” 

 

I transformed into my Dragon Born form. 

 

I approached the men in my Dragon Born form and hit them with one punch each. 

 

I hit them right in the gut. 

 

After delivering the blows, I returned to my human form and turned back to what I was originally doing. 

 

A huge among of energy was consumed but it only took one second. 

 

“Ugh…”

 

The men groaned in agony. As their expression became agonized they dropped their glasses. 

 

They opened their eyes and their mouths. They couldn’t move and drool was spilling from the side of their mouth. 

 

“What did you just do?” 

 

The man behind the counter asked. 

 

“Nothing much.” 

 

“Oh…well here is your room key.” 

 

“…it’s fine?” 

 

“There are always fights in the bars. It is better to be killed in an instant than to have it drawn out.” 

 

The innkeeper smiled and shrugged. 

 

“That’s true.” 

 

“So?” 

 

“I prefer a man who stands up for a woman anyway.” 

 

“…haha.” 

 

I laughed. 

 

Stupid men always made me sick, but the innkeeper’s attitude helped me calm down. 

 

“Thank you.” 

 

“At your leisure.” 

 

I left the idiots writhing in agony and returned to Colette.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
