Chapter 113: Yatogami
In the end, I made two servings of the ginger pork set meal for each of us.
Since it used pork loin, it was a budget-friendly, simple dish—and choosing ginger pork was definitely the right call.
“Ahh… I’m so happy. I was regretting running away from home, but just getting to eat this meal makes it all worth it!”
“Eh? Yato-san, you ran away from home?”
“Mm-hmm. I waited for a time when my parents weren’t around and slipped out!”
“If you’re missing, won’t your parents worry? They won’t, like… rampage through other towns while searching for you, right?”
“Hmm, no! …probably not.”
Yato turned her face away as she said that.
There’s now a real possibility that her dragon parents will go searching for her and cause some damage in the process.
If they find out she’s here and think I kidnapped her… won’t they turn this whole place into scorched earth?
Just imagining it is terrifying. I have to get Yato to return home as soon as she’s recovered.
“Yato-san! Please go home as soon as you’ve regained your strength! It’s not good to worry your family, and it would be even worse if others were harmed while looking for you!”
“Hmm… Got it. I actually wanted to stay a bit longer, but if it’s you saying so, Satou, I’ll listen. I did want to apologize to Ashros too.”
“Thank you. If you get your parents’ permission, you’re welcome to come visit anytime.”
“Really!? You’ll make delicious food again too, right!?”
“Yes. But you can’t come as a runaway, okay?”
“Understood! I’ll get their permission and come back!”
Yato, having regained her energy, promised to return home after a short rest.
But she didn’t seem to know where she was, so I went to Rozzo-san and Sid-san to ask where dragons live.
According to them, it seems there’s a mountain where dragons live far to the west.
They weren’t 100% sure, but it was the most likely spot.
“Yato-san, it seems it’s located to the north from here. By the way, did you live on a mountain?”
“Yes! A big mountain called Mount Edelgius!”
“Then I think that’s the right place. Head north from here, and you should find it. If you get lost, come back here and I’ll help you find it.”
“Satou, you really are a good person! Want to come with me? I’m sure my parents would welcome you!”
“No way! I absolutely won’t let Satou-san go!”
Before I could answer, Sheila firmly rejected the offer.
Honestly, I was going to refuse anyway—visiting a mountain where dragons live is way too scary—but I felt kind of happy that Sheila turned it down on my behalf.
“It’s scary, so I won’t go… but I’d like to visit someday. When I do, please show me around.”
“Mm! Satou and Sheila, you’re my first friends! Oh, and Crow too!”
“Yes, we’re friends now.”
With a sweet smile, Yato and I sealed our promise with a pinky swear.
From her words, I could tell she never really had true friends before—likely because she’s a dragon.
If I think about it, that might even be connected to why she ran away.
She feels just like an ordinary girl, so there’s no way I could blame her.
Let’s welcome her as a normal friend, just like we would anyone else.
“Fufufu, friends with me… huh. Satou, thank you! I’ll definitely come again soon!”
With that, Yato’s body suddenly grew larger and transformed into a dragon.
It was only now that I could truly see that she was a dragon—but since I knew it was Yato, I didn’t feel scared at all.
“Sure, come back anytime.”
“Yato-san, let’s eat Satou-san’s cooking again next time.”
Nodding enthusiastically to our words, Yato took off at an incredible speed.
How should I put it… that might’ve been the most fantasy-like experience I’ve had so far.
“So Yato-san really was a dragon.”
“You still had doubts? A pitch-black body and the name Yato… Yato-san must be Yatogami.”
“Yatogami…? Is that a famous dragon?”
“Of course! I don’t think there’s anyone in this world who hasn’t heard of it.”
“Wow, I had no idea she was that famous. Her dragon form definitely looked divine… Wait, how old is Yato-san then?”
“I’m not sure myself, but I think she’s been alive since long before I was born.”
I see…
She looked so young in human form and acted like a child, so I assumed she was younger than me.
But I guess even if she’s a child for a dragon, she might still be hundreds of years old.
I’m not sure how I should interact with her. I mean, we treat a 10-year-old dog as an adult, but a 10-year-old human as a child.
We don’t know her exact age, but if she’s a child by dragon standards, then treating her like a child might be appropriate.
“I totally thought she was younger than me. But if she’s considered a child, then maybe I don’t need to change how I interact with her?”
“Hmm… She didn’t seem to dislike it, so I think you’re fine. From a human’s perspective, she just has a long lifespan. Yato-san herself might see herself as a child.”
“You’re right. I’ll treat her the same when she comes back.”
“I think that’s best. Still, it’s amazing! Who would’ve thought Yatogami would come here, even by chance?”
“It really is incredible. Crow deserves the credit for this one.”
Saying that, I gently patted Crow, who had seen Yato off with us.
I’ll make sure to feed him plenty of magic crystals later.
