Chapter 53: A Dangerous Summon!

It's my turn next, but I'm not as excited as everyone else cause I know what's coming.

There's just one reason I'm really looking forward to it. I've been waiting for this time since the day I met Goddess Nereids at the temple.

"Then, the last one is Luke A. Wolg, the third prince of the neighboring country!"

The "Summoning ceremony" is performed in order of peerage. The reason is that the expected value of the summoned monster is higher in the upper class. The order in the class is determined by grade and family. This is also an expression of the expected value of blood. Considering the servant summoned by Mifa earlier, it’s understandable that this ordering system is not a mistake.

"There are only three known cases of holy beasts being summoned in the past, even in the neighboring countries. As expected of royalty! Let's all cheer for the prince of the next great power in anticipation!"

Oi! What are you trying to stir up sensei? Well, what I expected will still be summoned!

I followed the instructions and poured all my magic into the crystal jewels.

After shining brightly, my beloved Navi appeared!

"Huh? There’s nothing?"

"No way! the summoning failed?

Everyone is noisy, but it’s there!

"There's something small! What's that?"

"Ah, that's true! Isn't that a pixie?"

"""Pixie!"""

"" Gahaha! What! a Pixie! ""

The venue was filled with laughter.

"What's so funny! Come on, Navi!"

"Because it's a mischievous fairy who doesn't have any power!” (Random person)

"I heard that you're just mischievous and incompetent, but your called servant is a Pixie, you’re just as they say!"

I don't like people like this who don't say anything directly but blend into the crowd to say things.

"" Cha! It's cold! ""

"What are you doing! This prankster fairy!"

"But that pixie shot four shots with [no chanting]! Isn't that amazing?"

"But it's just life magic!"

Navi’s face turned bright red and hit my classmates with a barrage of [Aqua] and then disappeared!

"Navi? Why're you in the [Inventory]? Come out! 』\

"♪ No way! Laugh at Navi with them! 』\

Wow ~ Oh no ... I'm in trouble ...

The laughter of the other classmates who were watching Navi splash water is persistent.

"♪ Navi likes this place! I’m not going out! ?\

A sudden withdrawal declaration?

"♪ The next one’s coming ..."

Yes ... Actually, I received a proposal from the goddess at the temple.

The light from the summoning circle hadn't subsided yet. In fact, it shone so brightly that I couldn't open my eyes, and a dragon the full size of the magic circle was summoned.

"Flying dragon?"

"How could this be? No one has ever called two in a single summon!"

Well, it's the goddess's plan.

The summoned dragon looked around, found me, and roared!

"GWOOOH!"

The air trembles with the deep bass resonance!

The dragon immediately approached me, aiming for me.

"" Aah! ""

However, it looked like she was trying to eat me to the surroundings, and they scream.

Some of the knights cast attack magic to protect me, but it didn't work at all.

Then it licked my face with a huge tongue.

"Stop! Wow! I’m all sticky with Diana's saliva?"

When I call her name, the dragon's body shines for a moment and a servant contract is complete.

Yes, this Drake is "Diana" who died at that time.

However, they are not the same individual. "The dead will not come back to life." This is the law of this world.

This guy, like me, died completely once. And only the soul and memory were reincarnated into another potentially dead individual.

"Aha, stop! [Clean]!"

Diana liked the [clean] magic used by Luke. It was a very beautiful drake. Even now, when I clean it up, it licks my face, but it hurts a little.

Tears just came out ... It's probably due to Luke's feelings, but I'm happy to see her again. The memory pulled from my heart is pleased to see Diana again.

Well, the problem is that it's not a drake. Diana's new body is a Black Emperor Dragon, which has the darkness attribute that is said to be the strongest among the ancient dragon species and is the second strongest individual among the dragon species.

The strongest one is still there, but it's not a monster, but a god dragon. It’s also called an attribute dragon, It’s said that there are seven of them somewhere in this world, and they are said to be the regulators of the magical elements of each attribute in the world.

"Luke! Did you summon it?"

The king has come down again from the bleachers.

"Yes. King Zeno. I just finished naming it and it officially became my servant."

"A legendary ancient dragon species?"

"That's right. looking at the status, it looks like a young dragon of the race called" Black Emperor Dragon "among the ancient dragon species."

"Young dragon? So it’s still a child?"

The Drake is about 5m tall, but this one is likely to be 10m. Anyway, it's big. If it normally stand’s up with two legs, it’s head will be on the third floor of the school building.

"Gurururu!"

"What's wrong Diana?"

What Diana looks at is the summoning circle ---

"Is it still glowing?"

The magic circle sparked and a big white ball of hair came out!

And it’s only the face ...

"It's a little cramped. ...... I can't get my body out! Are you the lord? Did you invoke this summoning?

A white dog with only a big head looked at me and asked me in words like an old schoolmaster.

"Dog!? how rude! I won't forgive you if you taunt this mistress."

Can she read my thoughts?

Diana who sensed its killing intent tried to bite the dog's head.

" Nonsense! It's 10,000 years too early, for a little girl like you to bite this mistress!"

"Diana!"

As the dog said, "Nonsense!” and released its energy, Diana, suddenly fainted.

"I’m not a dog! Child, this mistress is the god beast Fenrir! Respect me more!"

God beast? Why is such a thing here?

"I'll explain now, so listen quietly."

Then she summoned a limp white puppy in front of her.

"This baby was just born by this mistress, but he was born premature and weak. It seems he will die soon ..."

"Shouldn't it be treated with recovery magic? [Aquala Heal]!"

"If that kind of thing worked, this mistress would have already done it! This mistress is a divine beast."

"I see ..."

"His weakness is not from disease. he's so weak that he can't suckle this mistress’ milk. Every living thing eventually dies if they don't eat."

"That's right ... So, you want to use a contract with me to temporarily nourish it with magic power?"

"That's right. You're pretty smart ... I’m liking you more and more."

Can't Fenrir give birth to more children?

"No, but that's something you don't need to know. Well, lord ... Would you like to take this young one as your servant?"

"You mean the weak puppy?"

"I say again, he’s not a dog! Fenrir is a noble wolf!"

In front of Fenrir, there is a cute dog that is shaking and quivering.

When I approached and picked it up, it certainly seemed to be weak.

"But I already have two contracts ..."

"Fenrir-sama! Could the child sign a contract with me?"

King Zeno came to sell himself!

"♪ It's a god beast. When the cub grows up, it will be enough to destroy the country by itself. The mere fact that there’s a Divine Beast in this country is a check on neighboring countries and serves as national defense."

"You, the Lord of a divine Beast? You must be joking! Do you want to kill this child?"

King Zeno was dissed, even though he’s the greatest person in this country.

But what does she mean it will die?

"Why does It have to be me?"

"Can this mistress say it here?"

I see, she came after knowing everything.

"♪ Probably the quality of your magic. Master is a human being from the upper world, and the vessel of your soul is different. Since you have a soul that’s not influenced by the evil god, you can form a contract with a god beast that would not normally be a servant. "

"If it signs a contract with an ordinary person, will the child die due to malnutrition? 』\

"♪ Probably"

"Aren’t you the king of this country? Look, command him to accept the contract! If this child dies, I'll destroy this country!"

"You’re saying something outrageous! How could you threaten me when you’re a God beast! Alright already! I understand! I'll sign a contract!"

"Yes! It’s good you understand! Name it quickly !"

"That’s right, ...... I’ll name him Hati, which means "son of Fenrir.""

"Huh! That's a good name!" Hati "... Yeah, a good name!"

Apparently, his mom liked it.

Actually, when I read my favorite light novel, it was the name given to the wolf cub.

"♪ It can't agree because It’s weak, so Navi will forcibly connect a path through the system."

"Oh, thanks. This somehow, involves the goddess, right? 』\

"♪ Probably ... I think so too."

The wolf's body shined for a moment, and a new servant contract was signed.

"Now my baby is safe! Please take care of it! I'll come to see it once in about 300 years."

"No, I can't live for 300 years! I'm not an elf!"

"Uh, well take care of the child. I'll come to see it someday ..."

I'm sorry to say it again, but I really won't be there. You can’t change a person’s lifespan.

"The summoning beam is getting smaller and smaller, but is that okay? If it closes, will your neck get cut off?"

"Huh! That's possible ... I imagined something terrible. Then this mistress will return to her original place."

The venue after Fenrir withdrew her head and returned was quite a scene.

Some students seem to have fainted. Did they feel Fenrir's energy like Diana?

The summoning of the Pixy Navi and Black Emperor Dragon Diana had been decided in advance in a meeting with the goddess, but it was unexpected that even a Fenrir's baby would become my servant.

Anyway, this kid is cute ... It's fuzzy and fluffy!

Well, I have to wake up Diana who is still unconscious.

The coming post-processes seem to be troublesome.

Especially the eyes of the king which are like a hunter eying his prey.

Chapter 54: Diana seems to be able to use [Telepathy]

Diana, who was hit by Fenrir’s pressure finally woke up.

"Garuru ~?"

"Ah! Aruji! Are you okay? ” {TN: Aruji can mean Lord or master}

"Telepathy?"

"What happened to the monster from before? Is it gone? 』\

Wow, it feels strange! She’s talking in the same way as Fenrir!

"♪ Master, it seems that Diana, like you, has some of the host's memory left ..."

"Again! Didn't the goddess learn her lesson from me? I've been having a hard time because of my host's memories."

"♪ But thanks to that, she can use the skill of [Telepathy] so I think the knowledge of 1400 years when she lived as an ancient dragon is useful. ?\

"1400? Wasn't it a young dragon! No wonder she speaks in an old lady tone"

"♪ It’s said that the life of an ancient dragon is in the millions of years. In 1400, it would be about 14 years old when converted to human age. Also, it seems that Diana was taught the language by an old dwarf. That's why she speaks that way. "

"The life of a dwarf is about 1000 years, right? Did she stay with him for a long time? Did she have a servant contract with him before me? 』\

"♪ No, she helped a dwarf who happened to be attacked by a demon beast on a whim, it seems that she was treated to alcohol and sometimes went to the village where the dwarf lived because she wanted to drink."

"Did Diana's host trouble the dwarven old man"

"♪ No, it seems that he had raised the village and had it when she visited. With an ancient dragon around, the village can gain various benefits. "

"What kind of benefits? 』\

"♪ Monsters can gain sustenance by absorbing the surrounding magic with the magic stones in their bodies. Therefore, a monster does not die from hunger in a place with strong magic. Since the ancient dragon absorbs excess magic just by being present, the excess magic, which is toxic for humans, disappears from the surroundings, and people feel better. Also, if the magic becomes thinner, the monsters will get hungry, so will move away from that place. "

"So it’s like a monster ward ..."

"♪ The other thing is, poison will be removed and plants will grow better, so the crops in the village will be more productive”

"That's a lot of good things. No wonder it was popular in the village.”

"♪ A dragon that attacks and eats people is a threat, but a quiet dragon that brings benefits is worshiped as a god. It’s a dragon faith centered on the god dragon.”

"Huh? But didn’t you say because of the barrier stones from the temple, that monsters with a large magic stone can't get close? 』\

"♪ Yes, that's right. But, though I called it a village, at that time it was a temporary village for ore mining in the middle of a mine, and no temple was built. "

"Is that so? However, Fenrir’s old-fashioned way of speaking was just right, but it feels strange with Diana. "

"♪ Isn't it because the voice itself is young? ?\

"Oh, that's it. I get it now ... "

"Aruji? What's wrong? 』\ (Diana)

"No, nothing. Thank’s you for your concern. But it wasn’t a bad beast, it was the god beast Fenrir."

"What! That was a god beast ... No wonder it was so strong! This mistress was defeated by pressure alone. She probably took it easy on me. "

"I made this child a servant, so please make friends with him Diana."

"You only need me as a servant ..."

"♪ It seems that she’s jealous. Fufufu, she’s big, but she’s cute, isn't it? "

"Don't say that, Diana is the big sister, so be nice to him."

"Hmm, I understand. But this wolf cub ... it's really weak. "

It’s trembling ... Is it cold?

I put it in my clothes and warm it with my body temperature.

It's just riding on the bulge of my stomach ... If your belly is this big, things can ride on it.

The king who had been exchanging calls with someone from a while ago came over.

"Luke, It's a little annoying. Your dad, King Julius, told me to ‘return my son’. Apparently, there's a hidden person in this school as well. . What a fast information network. I have to learn from him .... He was noisy about returning you, so I just hung up ... "

"It's more about wanting an ancient dragon and Fenrir than me, right?"

"'Well, I suppose you're right, but he sent you to this country because he was worried about your future. If the ancient dragon and a Fenrir have become your servants, your position in your own country will be safe. He thought he could only give you a baronetcy, but now you've become Fenrir's master. You will be given a dukedom without complaint. If that's the case, I understand why he wants you to come back as a parent and as a king of a country. But from my point of view, I'd rather not mess with you now.”

"Luke, you won't leave me, right? I don't want that..."

Mifa’s looking at me with a very worried look.

"Mifa, don't worry. I'm not going home now."

I was the last one for Today's "Summoning Ceremony" me, so it was disbanded here.

"Luke, can you give me some time after this?"

It's a natural proposal from King Zeno, but I also want some time.

"Well ... it's about the future right? I'm aware, but though I'm not the school director, I'd like to test drive this guy. Can I do that first?"

"That's right ... Luke, could you take me on that test drive?"

Wow! He’s looking at me like I’m a child. I'm not going to run away, I just want to ride myself ...

"But there's no saddle, so it’s dangerous for an amateur to ride bareback. I can't take you with me cause you might fall off.”

"My first job is dragoon! I also have my own dragon! I graduated from the dragoon school at the top, I've also ridden a dragon bareback so it's fine!"

That’s right, for Mifa’s case, he said he went to the Marquis territory by dragon.

"Okay. Diana, can you put up with giving him a ride?"

"Do you want to put that guy on the back of this mistress ..."

"This person is the king of this country and will be a great help to me in the future."

"It can't be helped if Aruji asks of me..."

"Thank you Diana!"

"Navi, I want to make Diana's saddle, Diana hates hard saddles, so I think buffalo leather is good. It's Diana's favorite food, I want to give it as a snack as well. Are there some nearby? 』\

"♪ Leather, Is it? Certainly, it would be a good material. There’re herds of about 50 to 200 in the wetlands about 30km northwest of here. "

"OK! Let's go there. Guide me to the smallest flock possible. "

"♪ I understand"

"Diana, I don't have a saddle or bridle right now, is that okay?"

"No saddle or bridle, "Bridle?" "Those strings you wear around the face. Just tell me where you're going without those things.”

I cast gravity magic [float] on myself and Zeno and got on Diana's back.

Chapter 55: Just collecting ingredients rather than hunting?

King Zeno and I took to the skies on Diana.?

Naturally, the knights that accompanied him as his escort tried to stop us before we left, but Zeno-san brushed them off and got on Diana.

"Is it okay to leave the Guards behind? Won’t they get angry later?"

"Haha, sure they’ll get angry."

As soon as she soars into the sky, Diana casts an [Air Shield] around herself, preventing us from being blown away by wind pressure.

"Thank you Diana"

"Mm. Then, Lord, which way should I go? 』\

" We’re going to a wetland, so northwest ... please fly in this direction."

"Understood! 』\

"Wow! Fast!" (Luke)

Compared to when it was a drake, it seems its speed is now three times faster.

"Diana, is this your full speed?"

"This mistress can fly faster! It's no good now because I don't have a saddle and you'll fall off. "

"Wow ... We’re already almost there! So fast ~ ?"

"Luke, I'm so envious."

"King Zeno, I'm going to hunt a little. Diana, there’s a buffalo herd a little further ahead. Can you kill them by aiming at their heads so the meat and leather won’t be damaged?"

"Of course"

"The meat is Diana's supper!"

"Really! Leave it to this mistress! How many cows? Do we hunt them all? 』\

""Twenty-one. With four calves, did they miss the move? Let’s hunt them all.""

"Luke! Isn't the Buffalo in the Wetlands the B rank monster Rush Noo ?"

"That's it. The meat is delicious, the leather is soft, and I just want it in Diana's saddle, so I thought I'd hunt it on the way."

"It's dangerous! It's a herbivorous beast so it won't attack you unprovoked, but once it recognizes you as an enemy, it will come after you with its whole pack! Even one of them is an opponent that an intermediate adventurer would hunt with a full team. This is not a challenge for just two people!

"It's okay. I've hunted them several times on a Drake,, it's not that hard."

While saying that, I saw something as black as a bean grain from the sky.

"That's it! Let's go ... Hold on tight "

The big difference between the way a dragon and a wyvern, like the school director’s, hunts is that bird species glide with their wings and hunt, so they descend at a tremendous speed. At that time, if you make a mistake in eye measurement or if you can’t slow down, you’ll crash.

On the other hand, dragon species such as Drake can float in the air, so they descend silently and grab their prey’s bodies firmly with their big limbs.

The dragon grasps it ... Of course, most of the demon beasts are smashed and die instantly. This cow is as big as an elephant, but if it’s a huge ancient dragon, it can be taken away to the sky. There's no way to be chased by persistent opponents.

The other [Rush Noo]’s whose friends have been killed shoot the water magic [Aquala Spear], but even the belly which is Diana's weakest part has not been scratched.

"Can the defeated cow be stored as it is in Diana's [Subspace Warehouse]?"

"Of course! The attribute of this mistress is darkness, so even if you hunt them all, I can still afford it! 』\

"This is so easy ... you're dealing with a B-rank demon beast ..."

"King Zeno, if the ancient dragon becomes an enemy, the country will fall, right? Isn't it natural to be able to do this?"

"That's right. If she wants to kill it, she can easily do so with a breath! 』\

"You mean Diana's breath!"

"There’ll be no meat left, but is that okay? 』\

"That's no good ... it's a waste ..."

"This mistress doesn’t like useless killing either. If I’m going to kill it, I have to eat everything that’s edible... "

If a dragon rampages, it is considered a disaster ... If a god beast such as Fenrir rampages, it's a natural disaster.

Naturally, we don't get off Diana and join the fight I'm not that strong myself. I just watched the disaster class hunting from the top of her back while having fun with the king.

And in a blink of an eye, Diana's one-sided hunt destroyed the flock.

We hunted 12 of them ... 9 of them ran away.

"Lord ... they’ve just run away ... Should I give chase? 』\

"Twelve buffaloes, including two calves, were hunted, so it's okay if they run away. Are you tired Diana."

"I didn't get any exercise. This mistress doesn't like futile killing, but she likes hunting. Will you bring me out again? 』\

It's cute how she’s begging for her next hunt.

"Of course. I heard that there are big snakes and crocodiles around here, so Diana might enjoy it too.”

"I'm looking forward to it  』\

"It's the first time I’ve seen a [Rush Noo], whose friend was attacked, escape. This is no longer a hunt, it's just collecting. It's like picking mushrooms from above, just picking up cows "

"True. If the attack isn't an attack, it's not much different from picking mushrooms even against monsters. Now that we're done, let's go home."

My level has gone up and I'm in a good mood!

I went back and forth over a distance of 30km to hunt, but only about an hour has passed.

It's nice to be back at the school, but there's no animal house Diana’s size.

"I don't need a cramped place such as a beast house! This mistress is going back to her nest to organize her luggage. "

"Oh, yeah. That’s okay. But the people of the capital will be surprised when they see you, so try not to startle them, okay?

"I know that. The Lord is quite a worrier ... "

Diana passed me the hunted prey and quickly flew towards the northern sky. Is Diana's nest in the north?

"♪ Oh ... that ancient dragon is storing various treasures in its nest."

"Seriously?? The dragon's habit ..."

The dragon species loves gold and silver treasures of light and has a habit of storing them in their nests.

Navi, I wish you would get out of the [inventory].

* * *

After that, as a matter of course, the king came to my room ---

"I'm sorry to have dinner here two days in a row ..."

Today, even the First Queen is here, along with the Second Queen, Mifa's mother.

"No, it's okay. Is my father still calling?"

"Oh, I’ve hung up many times."

"That ... Luke, I heard that the knighthood student who summoned a Drake has decided to transfer to the Dragoon School. You were originally aspiring to be a Dragon Knight, so will you transfer?"

Mifa asked with great anxiety.

Iris also looks uneasy ... Even in this country, it seems that there are no valets at the Dragoon School. If I transfer to another school, Iris will inevitably be dismissed because I won't need her.

"Oh, I didn't originally want to be a dragoon. The royal family’s boys are forced to raise an egg as a kid, and in the future, we had no choice but to be a dragoon."

"It's the same in this country. ...... Do you dislike being a dragoon, Luke?” (King)

"It's not that I don't like it. I understand that dragoons will become a tremendous force in the event of a war, and the fact that the royal family takes the initiative in raising dragons is appealing to the people. I know, but I want to be a magic knight. "

I'm changing jobs in the temple ...

I’ll change my 1st job from [Dragoon] to [Brave], and the 2nd job to [Magic Swordsman]. The job of [Brave] will be concealed and the appearance, superficially written as [Healer].

"Hmm, You have a dragon, and I want you to be a dragoon, but I’ll respect your will."

"Thank you. But in any case, Diana doesn't like the classes at the Dragoon School. I don't think that an ancient dragon will join Drakes in formation. In fact, I don’t think she'll lend her back to anyone but me. This time, she was reluctant, but she let you ride her because you’re the king, and some lessons involve lending the reins to other dragoons, but she’s definitely not going to like it."

"Sure ... even a Drake doesn't like to lend its back to others. If you're a prideful old dragon, you might get angry ... I don't want to provoke her. Okay then. Let's move on from staying in school. The problem is Luke's father ... "

My father called just as he said this.

Chapter 56: I talked about staying in this country

King Zeno looked up and then frowned.

Perhaps there was a visual indication of the call. I wonder if he had a face like that because it was my father ...

"Is it a call from my dad?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did you see it on my face?"

"Yes, how many times since then?"

"Oh, I hung up once, but he’s been calling over and over again. I'm ignoring it now, but I can't ignore it forever. What to do?"

The call function is like a phone call, but it only works with people who are registered as friends. It's very convenient, but the bottleneck is that friend registration can only be done at close range. It's not like a phone call where you just need to know the number, or in this case, the full name.

When I first came to this country, my brother deleted my entire friends list. This means that I can't use the call function with people from my country. He said the purpose was to stop spies, but considering that they've already entered the royal palace and the school, I doubt there was any point in deleting them.

"What is my father's request?"

"He just says to return you. Even if it's his child, it's a bit domineering."

"I know. The moment I make an ancient dragon and a divine beast my servants, he just wants me back. It's not right to ask for the return of a child once you've given him as a son-in-law. Well, I can understand my father's feelings, but this is a little too much."

"What do you really think Luke? If you can go home, do you want to?"

My feelings?

It's Luke's feelings, but there is familial love. I was sent to be a son-in-law by my father, but I could understand that he did it out of love for me. But if I’m asked if I want to go back to my country, the answer is no.

"When I was attending the Dragoon Academy, I was a real slacker. I deserved it, but my classmates made fun of me quite a lot and hated me. Still, since I was a prince, no one did anything to me directly, but the backbiting was terrible. Honestly, I have no intention of returning to that country."

"Well, I'm sorry, but I’m a little relieved to hear that."

"You and Mifa should have an engagement party soon. If you want, I'd like you to marry my Elise as well.”

This person is King Zeno's wife, Carmilla, his first wife. Mifa's mother is Mirana, the second wife. Elise, I believe, is the youngest child of the first wife, and in terms of age, she’s 14 this year, I think.

The other day I asked Iris about the family structure of the king and learned he had two wives, the first lady had the eldest son, the second son, the eldest daughter, and the third daughter (Ellis). The second wife had the second daughter (Mifa), Third son, and fourth son.

"Mother Carmilla, that's a good idea! Father, let's get everything ready right away and make a big show of it so no one can interfere!”

"This is… Mifa, I understand your feelings, but Luke has a troubled face."

" Mother? Does Master Luke look uncomfortable?"

Thank goodness ... It was helpful that Mifa's mother was there to stop her.

"Isn't that a bit hasty? It's true that making a big announcement of our engagement would be a check on my father and other powerful nobles, but I told you, didn't I? I said we should take our time to get to know each other. To tell you the truth, I don't know anything about Mifa. I know that this is how noblemen marry, but I told you in the carriage that I didn't like that either."

"Yes ... that's right. I'm sorry. I was very worried that you would be returned to your country ..."

She apologized with tears ... that’s cute!

"Haha, Mifa is too cute. I won't go home, so don't worry."

"He said I was cute! I'm so happy?"

"Hmmm, but what should we do ......? I'm glad you're willing to stay, Luke, but I wonder if King Julius will make a forcible move?"

"Can you answer the call? I’ll talk to him directly."

"Okay"

"You finally picked up! Zeno! Stop pretending to be absent! Send my son home! 』\

"Father, you’re being vulgar! Your wording is unfit for a king! It's like the ill-bred bandits I met the other day."

"Luke? That Zeno bastard has been a friend since childhood ... Rather than that, you can come back! You did a good job of summoning a god beast! If this is the case, you can do live in this country as a Duke! Come back quickly! 』\

Was Zeno a friend of my father?

"♪ It seems they often met as next king candidates since they were children, and they deepened their friendship in order to support each other in making a better country.."

I guess both of them had higher ambitions when they were young, and it seems to be wonderful and amazing, but that was just before.

"Father, it’s domineering to try and get back a son-in-law just because he summoned a god beast. And I have no intention of returning."

"Is it a woman? Is the princess called Mifa such a good woman? Or is it Miss Emilia? This Zeno guy, How dare he entangle my son with a beautiful princess just because he summoned a divine beast and an ancient dragon? "

"That’s a misunderstanding. It was yesterday that I decided to go out with the princess, and it was before the summons. Rather, it’s you father who’s flip-flopping over the beast! You woke me up early in the morning when I was asleep without answering any questions, and you sent me to be a son-in-law without even letting me have breakfast… "

"I was thinking of you ..."

"Luke! Oh my cute Luke! 』\

"Oh, mom ..."

I'm still not good with her ...

Something that comes from Luke's memory, not me, is causing a rejection. Luke felt her love, but the form of love he was looking for was different.

I imagined her as an educating mother ...... Luke wanted a normal, gentle mother, but as a child of the royal family, he gradually became uncomfortable with a mother who was overly strict and tried to cram too many things into him. Of course, there is a mother's love in that.

"Amelia has been crying since then ... When she gets in a bad mood, she throws a tantrum and I was scratched several times. Luke, come back for Amelia’s sake. " (King Julius)

"'It's probably because you sent me to another country to be a son-in-law without telling her. Mother, please don't worry. I've been taken very good care of in this country. I'm going to have a relationship with the princess who says she loves me, and I have no intention of going back there. "

"Are you being deceived? 』\

"Ah, the princess is qualified as a first-class inquisitor. She can't lie at all, so it's impossible for her to deceive me."

"Oh, I'm sorry for interrupting. I'm Mifa, the second princess of this country. I'm going to be going out with Luke. Your Majesty King Julius, mother-in-law Amelia, please take good care of me "

"Miss Mifa, do you know Luke's rumors? What do you really think about it? Aren’t you being forced to get married for the sake of the country? 』\

"I know the rumors, but after all, it's just a rumor. I think he’s a very kind and lovely lord. who saved my life, touched by his personality, we just talked a little and I fell in love. I fell, I yearn for Luke. I'm not forced by anyone. "

"Is that so. You sound like a solid girl ... But I can't understand just by talking a little, so please come and visit us. "

"Yes! I will visit you with Luke!"

Was Mifa recognized by my eccentric mother?

"By the way, Luke. What are you going to do about Lulu? I don't think there's a better girl in the world.?You've been in love with each other since you were children, so you got engaged early.” (Amelia)

Was the engagement with Lulu decided at the age of 10?

Mifa looks uneasy next to me.

"I heard that Lulu is already in the process of a new engagement ..."

"Hmm, that kind of thing can be stopped with just one word from the royal family! Your feelings are most important! "

I honestly don't understand my feelings. I think this chest-tightening sensation is an emotion that comes from Luke's memory. I remember Lulu being a very good girl. However, when it comes to getting married, I think I should wait a little longer.

"Mom, I'll be back home with Mifa during the summer vacation. I'll think about Lulu by then."

"Are you not coming back to this country? Are you abandoning your mother"

"No, I was the one who was exchanged for the 10 sons of the aristocrats of this country. If you get angry, get angry with father. But I'm very fulfilled right now. It's a very happy life that I couldn't have had there. If you love me, would you warmly watch over me? "

"Is the country so comfortable? 』\

"Yes. When I went to school, I have a valet, or rather a disciple, who is very good and takes care of me perfectly, so I’m able to live very comfortably.”

"Is that so……. You have an excellent butler, don’t you? However, act with the knowledge that it’s a butler given by the speculation of another country. ”

A butler... It seems that she thinks it’s a boy, but I wonder if there’s a need to correct her. It would be awkward if even my mother says I’m entangled by women.

"Yes. I'm fully aware. I'll be back in the summer, so I'll leave father to you. King Zeno's in trouble. You never know what father might do to get the sacred beast, so please tell him If he says anything too outrageous, I'll take the ancient dragon and go spit a breath at him, okay?"

In the end, it was agreed that I could stay in this country.

I made him promise not to say anything more overbearing and hung up the call.

Mother ……. I was nervous because of Luke's weakness, but I think she’s a good person to talk to.

Chapter 57: Hati the God Beast and Navi the Pixie Fairy

After ending the call with my father, I was able to relax.

After dinner, Iris made us tea and we’re having a chat.

"♪ Oh! Master, Hati needs a bathroom 』\

"Geez! Really! Thank you Navi! 』\

Fenrir's child Hati is currently in my clothes and sleeping on my belly.

When I heard that, I wondered if it woke up, it hasn't!

I hurriedly left my seat and went to the corner of the room.

"What happened?"

"Luke, what happened suddenly?"

It seems that Mifa's mother and King Zeno were surprised when I suddenly left my seat while talking.

I take out a clean cloth from the subspace warehouse, hurriedly take out Hati from my clothes and put it on it.

"Wow! Cute! Is this child a god beast?" (Mifa’s mom)

"It's true, how cute!" (Camilla)

"" Cute "" (Other girls)

"Please be a little quiet. he seems to be going to the bathroom so please don't look at it."

Dogs are pretty reluctant to be seen using the toilet, too.

Hati immediately started whimpering and pooped a little.

I use [Clean] to clean the cloth and hati together and pick them up.

"What? Are his eyes already open?

"Myan!"

Guha! I thought I was going to die! What kind of cute creature is this? It looked at me, flicked its tail and squealed "Myan”!

“"" Wha! So Cute! ""”

Erica took out her [Crystal Plate] and started taking pictures. It looks like she's using the photo function of the [crystal plate] to leave a still image. ...... And she's operating something.

"♪She can send the image she took to Mifa with the mail function so she’ll see it"

"That's right ... Mifa, does she know how I look? 』\

"Mifa, you know my fat figure, right?"

The cackling of the women quieted down in an instant.

"Um ... yes ..."

"If Erica uses the email function to send a video or a photo or something, you can see me not visually, but indirectly on your retina, or rather, you can see me clearly through the crystal plate, right?

"Yes. I'm sorry for hiding it from you.”

"I'm not mad at you. But are you okay with me looking so fat?”

"Like I said in the classroom, even if I was told about your appearance being bad I don’t get it right now, probably because I haven’t seen much of what’s normal."

"Then, what do you think of Hati?"

"It's cute! It's almost as cute as my Spinel!"

It's true that Spinel is cute, but Hati is number two? I think there is a solid standard, even though she says it doesn't come to mind. By the way, Spinel is currently sleeping soundly in Mifa's bed.

"Luke! I wonder if I can hold the god beast?"

Mifa's mom seems to want to touch it.

I gently hand over Hati, which is only about as big as a Chihuahua, she hugs it carefully and gently strokes its neck.

"Wow, what soft hair ... It's white and fluffy! How can it be so cute!"

You’re cute too!

"Mom! I want to hug it too!"

"He seems to be getting better, but he was weak and asleep a while ago, so don’t stress it too much” (Luke)

"Oh, that's right."(Mifa)

"Even so, I think it’s feeling much better." ( King Zeno)

"Oh! Hati's level has risen to 12! This seems to be the cause!"

"I see! By hunting with the ancient dragon, the god beast who has a connection with you was also treated as a party member. Did the level go up and make it feel better? "

"What do you think? He's a newborn baby. We shouldn't push him too hard, right?” (Luke)

"That's right. I'll ask a Tamer later."

"Please. Oh, and it seems a god beast is different from a monster, so what about it?"

"I'll ask about that as well."

"Um, Luke. You also summoned a pixie fairy, right? Did you send her back?"

Emilia asked me a question! I'm surprised that she could talk to me who's a man.

"♪ Wow! Emilia’s a good girl! It seems that she was really curious about Navi from the bleachers because I’m so cute, so she approached Master "

If they think Navi is cute, will everyone be a good girl!

"Then, don't hold back, just come out of the inventory ..."

" ♪ It can't be helped"

≪ ♪ Pampakapan! I was called and came out, It’s Navi-chan ♡ ≫

"Your character changed!"

What’s up with her!

"She’s so cute!!!"

Emilia talks happily with Navi for a while. Unlike her response to me, she’s friendly with Navi from the beginning?

"Navi, please let me make clothes for you!"

≪ ♪Okay, make it cute alright?  ≫

Emilia-chan? Maybe she has a doll hobby?

"Telepathy? Navi. Why [telepathy]?"

“ ♪ …………, …………………………”

"What?"

≪ ♪ Because I’m small, You can't hear it even if I speak normally because my voice is small!  ≫

"Ah~ that's right. Both your voice and body are small. I'm afraid I'll hurt you if I touch you badly or might even break your wings."

≪ ♪ It's okay. Look!  ≫

The wings disappeared!

"Can you hide your wings?"

≪ ♪ Rather than wings, Navi's existence itself is as if it doesn't exist. You can't physically crush me or anything like that. But magic can damage me, so be careful. ≫

"I can't touch you?"

≪ ♪ You can. It just means that I can erase my existence at will ≫

I hold Navi for a moment and touch her.

"It's true. she's warm and soft ... and it smells sweet."

"Luke! Please let me touch her! Navi-chan is it okay?"

≪ ♪ Emilia-tan is cute, so it’s fine ~ ≫

"Oi! Stop with the "Emilia-tan"! That's bad! 』\

I break in with telepathy so no one else can hear it.

" ♪ I'm sorry Master, I got carried away."

"Your tone is back! Why did you make such a loose character? 』\

" ♪ Because Emilia's image of a pixie fairy was that kind of thing."

"Did you read Emilia's heart... what for? 』\

" ♪ If Navi gets along with her, Master will always be around when she wants to see Navi, Whether she wants to or not. The more opportunities she has to meet the Master, the more her phobia of men will gradually improve."

"You’re right. Actually, sorry for stopping you earlier. I'll leave it to your judgment. "

"It's warm! Oh! It's true! She really smells good and sweet! What does this smell like?"

"This sweet scent is vanilla. It should have had a [relaxing] effect."

"Is that so? Luke knows a lot ..."

≪ ♪ E-hen! Because it's the master chosen by Navi! That’s just natural!  ≫

Navi gets along with people very quickly.

" ♪ It’s cause I can read everyone's thoughts ..."

"Oh? Luke, It looks like the divine beast is sleeping."

When I saw it, Hati, who was being hugged by Mifa's mother, was sleeping.
