Chapter 180

CHAPTER 180: TEMPORARY FREELOADER

We’d decided that we would set off for the lake the day after tomorrow .

We weren’t in any hurry so we wanted to take the next day to prepare and then set off comfortably the day after .
That was the schedule .

「n, then I’ll tell, Manaril . If I tell her, then she’ll let the other Dragon Kings, know . 」

Hesty said and went to spread the news .

It seems she would use the Dragon King telepathy to communicate with Manaril . It was a good thing she lived nearby .

With this telling the others wouldn’t be a problem .

With these thoughts Hesty and I returned to our garden work when,

「Daichi-san, Hesty . Hello~ there~」

Ramiyuros walked in from the forest . How should I say it…it felt like it had been a while but,

「Hey, what’s up?」
「Umm well…Manaril told me a while ago that Daichi-san and everyone are going on a trip . 」
「Yeah . Are you coming too Ramiyuros?」
「Un, I plan to . It’s just——-I’d be really sad if I didn’t get up on time on the day of the trip and end up not going . 」

She said and Hesty frowned .

「… . . if it’s Ramiyuros, it’s possible . There was a time, when she forgot to get up, and slept for nearly two months . 」
「T-that’s mean~ . Even though I was trying not to bring that up~?」

Ramiyuros whined with teary eyes, but I could definitely see this carefree Dragon King having the tendency to oversleep .

「But, if you run over, then you could make it . 」
「W-well, I guess but… . I definitely want to go with everyone . That’s why——-I came to ask you both if I could stay with Hesty till we leave . 」
「I see」

Indeed, if she stayed with Hesty then she wouldn’t forget to wake up . Hesty was diligent . She wasn’t the type to be late .

………well, there were times when Hesty was careless though… .

There were times when she didn’t sleep and just zoned out . However, it was more reassuring than Ramiyuros by herself .

She was reliable in various ways .

「H-how about it Daichi-san?」
「I don’t really mind but, shouldn’t you be asking Hesty? The place you’ll be staying is her cabin after all . 」

I said and looked at Hesty as she nodded .

「n, if you say so, then I’m fine too . 」
「R-really!?」
「But, you can’t, cause trouble . You can’t turn, into a dragon here . If you rampage half-asleep, I’ll beat you up ok?」
「U-un, I got it . —but thank you Hesty and Daichi-san . 」

Ramiyuros said with a happy smile .

「Ah, also…I can pay the rent to stay with some of my scales . 」
「Eh, you mean those giant scales?」

I had pretty much used them up making my onsen .
Since then I hadn’t gotten any more, they were quite good materials .

「Un, that’s right . They’re big so I left them elsewhere, but I can bring them over . 」
「Well, though I’m grateful…is it alright to just hand them out?」

If it was hard for them then I would feel troubled just accepting .

「Un, recently I’ve started to grow new scales to replace the old . I can give you the ones that come off…… . honestly I didn’t have a place to discard them . The only ones I know who can manufacture them are Hesty and Daichi-san . 」
「Really?」

Within the cities there should be blacksmiths . I thought they would be able to handle them .

「n, it’s quite difficult . They are, both hard, and large . 」
「That’s right~ . When it’s time to grow new scales I have to leave town to find someplace to dispose of them, living in town is a hassle~ . But this time Daichi-san and Hesty can use them so I’m happy . So please take them all Daichi-san!」

Fumu fumu, alright, if she’s giving then I’ll take them .
One way or another they were good materials without a doubt .

……the materials that Ramiyuros brought had a good feeling to them .

There were quite a few uses for them . I might even take the time to make furniture out of them before the trip .

After all, the timing was great .

「Ok then, best regards for a bit Ramiyuros . 」
「Un, I’ll be in your care Daichi-san Hesty!」

And so, my home gained another guest .
