Chapter 153 - The Welcome
◎ Hyvern Dukedom, Capital City Deer South
「Wow, this is . . . 」
Kazane looked towards the sky in mute amazement .
It was only when the city Deer South came into view that she noticed that what she thought were birds were actually dragons . When she compared the birds' size to the city, she noticed there was something strange, so Kazane used the Circlet of Wisdom's remote viewing to get a closer look and saw over 100 dragons flying about .
The surprised Kazane reported that to her companions, and Emily explained that they were Hyvern's cavalry dragons . Basically, the dragons had the same rights as people, so they could freely move around the Hyvern Dukedom, and they were allowed to fly above cities . But even so, she supplemented that the number of dragons was abnormal .
Then when they arrived in Deer South, the dragons recognized the appearance of Kazane's party and all of their gazes gathered on the Thunder Chariot, or more precisely, they gathered on Jinrai driving the carriage . And then the dragons started circling the Thunder Chariot in the sky as they advanced .
「Wi, will we be okay?」
Yumika was also looking at the sky with a pale face, but there were no indications that they would be attacked .
「Yeah, unlike wild flying dragons, dragons chosen to become Dragon Knight cavalry are mostly adult dragons, so we'll be okay . . . probably?」
Emily answered Yumika's question, but her voice gradually faded . Her confidence was gradually lost as she watched the dragons acting wildly .
At any rate, they were constantly being threatened by distant roars, and sometimes a dragon would descend to just above the rooftops and roar, which would make the surrounding people scream and run away .
「Umm . This isn't an everyday thing in this city, is it?」
「Obviously . 」
Lyle retorted from the coachman's seat after Kazane's question .
「This is the first time we've experienced such a tense situation in Deer South . 」
It seemed Lyle and Emily were also surprised . It was clear that this wasn't an everyday scene in their hometown .
Although from a certain point of view, Kazane's Hippomaru-kun and Thunder Chariot didn't lose . At the center of the unruly dragons was a jet black figure scattering purple lightning as it advanced, as if it was a demon king's triumphal return . Since the windows weren't tinted, the people inside were naturally also visible .
「Ah, Royce was looking at us . 」
「It looks like Auntie Rend also noticed us . I wonder how we should explain . 」
Emily was now bowing her head to hide her face after being noticed by a few acquaintances . Lyle and Naoki were sitting on the coachman's seat and couldn't hide .
「Everyone from the Adventurers Guild tavern was looking at us, but, well, we can't hide anyway . 」
Naoki said without regret . Although Naoki had only stayed in this city as an adventurer, so he was very different from Lyle and Emily, who grew up in this city . The proportional future problems were different .
「So, this situation is also the influence of Jinrai-san's wife?」
Jinrai nodded slowly after the words Kazane couldn't help but ask .
「They're really causing trouble for everyone . Those lizards are like my wife's elite guards . Well, they've always tried to intimidate me since a long time ago . Hahaha」
Jinrai answered with distant eyes . He somehow seemed to be accustomed to the dragons' intimidation, but it was hard to say he was in normal condition .
「Ah, we'll arrive soon . 」
Naoki said . Kazane looked ahead of the carriage .
(The smell of three strong dragons?)
Kazane accurately grasped what was ahead with her『Dog's Sense of Smell . 』
(Is one of them the dragon that came to Shirodieh City?)
All three dragons felt like they were stronger than the Crystal Dragon but below the Black Rock Dragon . If that was the case, Kazane thought it was certain that they were adult dragons .
◎ Hyvern Dukedom, Capital City Deer South, Barnes Family Mansion
『Oh, it seems you've finally arrived . Young masters, Jinrai, and all the young ladies . 』
When Kazane and the rest arrived at the mansion, there were three 10-meter class dragons sitting there . The Barnes family's yard was large enough for them to do so . And the surrounding flying dragons didn't approach the three huge bodies .
The dragon who greeted them was the biggest one in the center emitting the strongest Dragon Spirit .
「Hmph . It seems you're unchanged, Godo . 」
『It seem you've become pointlessly young . And they are your current companions?』
The dragon called Godo looked at Kazane and the rest . Tiara was frightened and averted her eyes, but Kazane smiled and responded .
「Hi, I'm the big slut . Best regards . 」
『Kuku, you're an interesting girl . Well, there isn't much more to say about that . Because of that…』
So saying, Godo's gaze turned toward the edge of the yard . Kazane was intrigued, so she looked in the same direction and saw Jiraid intently polishing a door . He was continuing to polish it without paying any attention to their exchange . For some reason, it seemed both of his cheeks were quite swollen .
「What is that?」
『What, you say . . . isn't that the way to apologize?』
The red dragon on Godo's right so answered .
『It was Ane-san . She was furious when she heard what sonny said to the young lady . She told him a dogeza alone was an insufficient apology after saying such a foolish thing to a girl your age . 』
Then the yellow dragon on Godo's left interjected .
『Because of that, he has been continually polishing doors since he returned . He's been borrowing doors from various places . Hey, isn't polishing a door the way to apologize in your hometown?』
Kazane made an「Ah」expression . It seemed she had heard rumors about that strange behavior .
『I don't think sonny would lie about that, but I do think it's a strange custom . Well, he didn't lie, right? Even if it's sonny, if he lied to Ane-san we might need to discipline him a bit?』
