Harassing Thief Girl - Chapter 158

Chapter 158

Ka-kun

The vacant lot behind the Workshop Guild .
The girls brought Mebett here with their dragons sticking close .

“It’s finished Ellis . ”

After a short wait Claire came out from the guild building with a tiny Pi-tan on her head and something small in her hands .
It was a small doll and a ring . Ellis took the ring from Claire and then slid it on Mebett’s thumb .

“If the ring starts to get tight, move it to your middle finger instead . ”

“I understand Big Sister Ellis . ”

Claire then put down the small doll in the middle of the lot . The doll was a brilliant, pale gold, and its shape resembled that of a fully grown Chaos Dragon . Claire then turned back around and gave Mebett a few instructions .

“Mebett, send your thoughts through that ring to the doll the same way you would Mogemoge-kun . ”

“I understand Big Sister Claire . ”

Mebett covered the ring on her left hand with her right, the {Command Golem} spell silently echoing in her mind . Thereupon the doll began to glow in a pale light and slowly grew bigger .

“Oh!”

The girls’ voices echoed . It looked just like a slightly slimmer Pi-tan . It was about half Pi-tan’s size, but it still stood at over three meters in height .
Mebett dumbfoundedly stared at the dragon as she mentally sent over an action . Following her thoughts, the dragon slowly began to walk . Mebett turned back towards Claire who was looking at her with a smile .

“How is it? I’ve named this child Mechanized Dragon Shaped Golem-kun Made from Big, Hard, and Shiny Dark Mithril . ”

Claire was still awful at naming things, so Ellis cut into her presentation .

“Make it shorter . Wouldn’t shortening it to just Mechanized Dragon be better?”

Ignoring Claire’s complaints, Ellis went ahead and renamed the golem . She then turned to Mebett .

“Mebett, from now on use this dragon to protect yourself . ”

“Yes, thank you!”

Ra-chin spoke up and asked Claire from Ellis’s back .
“Hey Claire, is Mebett’s spirit linked to that toy dragon now?”

“Mhm, they were connected just now . ”

Su-chan followed up with a question from Reeve’s chest .
“Do you have any weapons Mebett?”

But Mebett naturally shook her head .
“Nothing right now . But if this is made from Dark Mithril, maybe it’ll give me some magical abilities I can use as a weapon? Or else I thought I could just rely on Ellis . ”

“Hmm . If it’s made of Dark Mithril then probably . ”
Fe-rin whispered over towards Claire and Pi-tan who were both making strange faces .

“Was that idiot dragon even any help to you in there Claire? I’d expect not from that has-been Metal Eater . ”
From around Katie’s neck Ah-nyan tried to pick a useless fight with the Chaos Dragon .

“Who’s an idiot dragon!? Hey, oh!?”
Pi-tan looked like he was about to fight back, but then it looked like he suddenly remembered something . He turned back towards Ra-chin .

“So you finally noticed? Ellis, can you put me down?”

“What’s up Ra-chin?”

“Well, just wait a sec . ”

When Ra-chin was lowered to the ground, the other dragons all came down as well and gathered around him . The dragons then had a little meeting .

“All right then we’ve all decided . Mebett, have the Mechanized Dragon lie down there for a bit . ”

Following Ra-chin’s instructions, Mebett brought the Mechanized Dragon back over to their group and set it down in front of everyone . From there, Ra-chin climbed onto the golem’s head while Su-chan flew up to its back, Fe-rin perched on its nose, Ah-nyan hung down from its chin, and Pi-tan climbed onto its tail .

“And now!”

With Ra-chin’s voice as the catalyst, each of the five dragons started to shine .

A sparkling gold Land Dragon .
A glittering blue Storm Dragon .
A shining red Phoenix Dragon .
A beaming white Frost Dragon .
An engulfing black Chaos Dragon .

The girls watched with bated breath . After a few moments the light began to dim and the shine subsided . And once whatever was going on had finally finished completely, Ra-chin called out to Mebett .

“How about it Mebett, did any new techniques appear to you?”

“Yes, it’s really amazing Mister Land Dragon!”

“What? What is it?”
“What happened?”
“I feel some kind of pressure . ”
“Perhaps this…… . . ”
“Nya~”

Su-chan boastfully responded to the five girls’ queries .

“We gave our special abilities to this doll . ”

Ra-chin had bestowed on the Mechanical Dragon a “dragon’s thoughts” . This was an ability that would allow the Mechanical Dragon to think and act as Mebett’s dragon, in other words the ability to think and act on its own .
Su-chan had given the Mechanical Dragon a “dragon’s flight” . It would allow the Mechanical Dragon to fly through the air .
Fe-rin passed on the “dragon’s blessing” . This did nothing for the dragon itself, but now Mebett, who has a spiritual connection to the dragon, would be able to ride on a dragon’s back while it’s flying through the air .
Ah-nyan passed on the “dragon’s breath” . With it, the Mechanical Dragon would now be able to use its own Hailstorm Breath attack .
Pi-tan gave the Mechanical Dragon the “dragon’s blow” . There was now more strength behind any strikes with the golem’s tail .

“Just a minute! Is it okay to put in so many abilities? Won’t it put a burden on Mebett!?”

Each of the girls started shooting off questions towards their dragons .

“It’s fine Ellis . We’re just sharing our own abilities, so it shouldn’t put a burden on Mebett . ”
“That’s right Reeve . And don’t worry, Mebett already has the qualities to become a Dragon Maiden anyway . ”
“Frau, it looks like Mebett’s spirit was strengthened quite a bit after that kidnapping incident the other day . She showed real guts not backing down from those demons . ”
“Even if you’re worried Katie, she just needs to be able to handle this toy after all . ”
“She won’t be able to form a contract with it since it’s not a real dragon Claire, but it should still work out for Mebett since she’s connected to the golem with {Command Golem} . ”

And then the Mechanized Dragon opened its mouth .

The girls all jumped .

“My…………dragon……… . . ?”

Mebett slowly walked over to the Mechanized Dragon . When she got close, the Mechanized Dragon lowered its head as if wanting to be pet . When Mebett’s hand touched the top of its head, the golden sheen of its metal body looked like it started to shine a little . Ra-chin then started talking from behind her .

“{Change Human} and {Permission Size Change} should be usable as well . Why not give them a try?”

Mebett did just that and released the dragon’s size allowing it to shrink back down to a size comparable to its original doll-like form .

“Come here . ”

Following Mebett’s instructions, the Mechanized Dragon happily flew up off the ground and towards Mebett . It grabbed onto a necklace that Mebett had been wearing and settled as if it had become a piece of jewelry . It was a heart-warming figure . Mebett lifted up the Mechanized Dragon in the palm of her hand and stared at it for a while with a bright smile on her face .

“So, you’re going to have to name it . ”

“Ka-kun . ”

Ellis went ahead and suggested a name similar to everyone else’s dragons, and Mebett nodded her head .

“Yes, I like it . ”

From there Ellis suggested Mebett try using Ka-kun a bit to see how it moved .

“Ka-kun, {Reset Body} . ”

When Mebett shouted out the spell, the Mechanized Dragon leaped from her necklace and returned to its larger size .

“Tail Attack!”

Under Mebett’s orders the dragon swung it’s tail, crushing some nearby boulders that had been gathered after a single attack .

“{Hailstorm Breath}!”

Once again the dragon followed Mebett’s command, the Mechanized Dragon opened its mouth and spit out dozens of small spears made of ice . The spears pierced through another boulder, and a second later, ice began growing around the rock, encompassing it in an icy tomb .

Next, Mebett climbed up onto the golem’s back .

“Fly!”

The Mechanized Dragon started to flap its wings . Its movements were a little discoordinated at first, but it eventually managed to even itself out and then increased the speed of its flapping . Slowly the Mechanized Dragon finally began to lift itself off the ground . Mebett looked fine from her place on its back, and it didn’t look like she was in any danger from falling or being jostled around from the movement .

“Claire, fire a couple of {Fire Bullets} up at them . ”

Claire called up to Mebett to warn her first, but then she did as Pi-tan suggested and shot off a couple {Fire Bullets} towards the Mechanized Dragon . The spell hit, but not only did it not do any damage to Ka-kun or Mebett, it didn’t even cause them to budge from the spot they were hovering at in the air .

“It should be fine with that . ”

“It’s flight is stable as well . ”

“The barrier it uses to protect Mebett is definitely working as well . ”

“It should be able to handle even a Great Demon if it needs to . ”

Each of the dragons gave out their own input while watching the newly build Ka-kun fly around with Mebett on its back .
And so Mebett was able to successfully become a sixth dragon rider .
She wasn’t quite a Dragon Maiden and lacked any form of oath however, so she still had the option of marrying someone of the opposite sex when she gets older .
