Chapter 215 Maya-Chan'S Running Dragon
"Alright, that's enough. Go, Wilshion-tan."
'Guuu'
When Wilshion spread his wings, he effortlessly soared up to the ceiling of the building, like a small running dragon. Perhaps due to his petite stature, his speed might even surpass Centrena's by a mile.
I just realized, but this part of the ranch is strangely warm. It's probably because we're inside a building. Just being shielded from the outside temperature makes such a difference.
Before I knew it, Centrena was lounging behind me. I've noticed that Centrena tends to be around like this. She can even cut off her sounds and presence, you know.
"Was Centrena born here?"
'Kuu'
"I see. It must feel like coming back home after a long time, huh?"
'Kuu'
Wow, the stable workers look so relaxed as they fly around. Oh, it's not just them. The Head of Dragon Breeder's family is also leisurely flying over there. That's his wife and his daughter (musume). I can tell even from far away because their outfits are different from the stable workers.
"Jag-san"
"What is it, master?"
"When you think about it, Dragonkin couldn't fly so they raised riding dragons, right?"
"That's right."
Even Gendride-san's little son (musuko) is trying to catch a small running dragon. It's like chasing a dog or cat...oh, I see. They said it's like a substitute for horses.
"If we continue the treatment, soon everyone will be liberated from the Oso (Dreadful element) poison, right?"
"Yes."
"Will everyone be able to fly?"
"Yes."
"Even so, will you still continue raising riding dragons?"
"We're going. They are important family to us Dragonkin, who have lived together with us, you know."
"I see. I had a feeling like that. It's a sign of friendship for non-flying races to lend us running dragons, too."
"Yes."
"I think it's increasing."
"It's a grateful thing."
"That's right, me and Maya-chan, my family, we all love the white Alesion guarding Centrena and Ensgard."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah. That's why."
Wilshion, with Maya-chan on board, landed in front of us.
"Maya and big brother probably have to help this Arlheave, I think."
"Did you hear about it?"
"I kinda had a feeling they were talking about something like that."
"You two look similar. Master and Maya-sama."
"It's often said."
"Yes indeed."
'Kuu'
'Guu?'
* * *
That night, before dinner, we started a video call in Maya-chan's room.
'Ring-ring, ring-ring, ring-ring.'
'Hello? Hello?'
Mahiru-chan appeared on the screen.
"Oh, hey Mahiru-chan!"
'Maya-chan, oh? Did you arrive safely?'
"Yeah, my brother is right here too."
"Good evening, Mahiru-chan."
I'm just participating with my voice.
'By the way, Maya-chan.'
"What is it?"
'I can see green feathers in the background behind you.'
"Hehehe. Well, you see..."
'Guuu'
Maya-chan was leaning against Wilshion while on the call. Since he peeked into the frame from behind her shoulder, Mahiru-chan on the other end might be surprised.
'What's that? I see a cute little kid.'
"Today, Wilshion-tan became Maya's child."
'Guuu'
She was totally boasting. Instead of just saying she arrived safely, it seemed like she just wanted to show off Wilshion. Seriously, this kid...
By the way, Centrena is staying in my room. Obviously, the two of them can't come in here.
'What's wrong, Mahiru-neesan?'
I can hear Asaya-kun's voice.
'Maya-chan is bragging.'
'Huh? What do you mean?'
Asaya-kun butted in suddenly. He looks surprised.
"It's cool, right? Asaya-kun. He's Maya's Wilshion-tan."
'Guuuu'
'A green dragon. Amazing...'
'That's not fair, not fair. It's okay, Alesion-chan will give me attention.'
Mahiru-chan, acting all big sister-like, seems a bit sulky. Maybe she's got a different side to her when it comes to Asaya-kun.
'Maya-kun.'
"Oh, yes. Mother."
Mother's voice. She was right there.
'It seems like you arrived safely in Arlheave. And that kid, he looks pretty smart.'
"Yes. He's Wilshion-tan. I got him today."
I speak to Mother with a proper tone.
After that, Maya-chan and I talked to Mother for a bit and explained the current situation in Arlheave. I tell her I plan to stay here for a while longer. It was reassuring to hear that at least it hasn't caused a big commotion yet.
"After rescuing Her Highness here, I think we can finally return there."
'Got it. I won't tell you not to push yourself, but since Maya-kun is there too, try to stay calm. Okay?'
"Got it. Mother."
Oh, Rosalier-san showed up.
'Tatsuma-sama. Have you been eating properly?'
"I'm okay. Thanks."
'Dorchuneta.'
"Yes, I'm here."
Whoa, she suddenly appeared behind me.
'I don't expect you to cook. Instead, become Tatsuma-sama's sword and serve him well, okay?'
"Got it."
Ugh. That's so heavy. But it's because she's so worried.
'Tat-su-ma-sama!'
I hear Mylavirna-san's voice from behind.
"Alright, Myla-san. I'm fine."
'Yes. Now that Tatsuma-sama is okay, let's go back to the room.'
'No, I want to talk too.'
'Sorry about that. It's noisy.'
Mother chuckles.
"Anyway, now that we know they are the cause of Myla-san's condition, we can't just ignore the people of this country."
'Yeah.'
"We can't afford not to help them."
'I understand. But your opponents are still unknown. You need to investigate thoroughly and respond accordingly. Understand?'
"I got it. I won't lose. That's why I've started the investigation."
It was Mahiru-chan's turn.
'Hey, Maya-chan.'
"What's up?"
'Alesion-chan is being distant.'
"Ah, well, you see, Alesion-tan is like a cat."
'What do you mean?'
"When you show too much attention, they run away, right? Like a cat."
'See, just as I said, right? Mahiru-neesan.'
"Ding ding ding. Asaya-kun, absolutely correct."
And that's how the call ended.
