Master’s Smile

Episode 197: Welcome to the Dragon

In the meantime, we've decided to complete the merchants' escort.

It was as far as the nearby city as 10%, so I could accomplish it without getting into any more trouble.

I was glad you put the reward up a little bit because you protected me from the dragon.

From the public's perspective, dragons are a powerful monster leader. Being attacked by it and being able to live, I guess, is incredible.

... Actually, I ended up with a piece of leash.

After delivering the merchants, me and Reese, and Rasmus, had come a long way from the city.

It's also troublesome to be attacked by demons, so leave the killer gently scattered.

This way, whatever powerful demons such as Auga, weak demons don't come close.

"All right, let's go."

Reese says so and encourages action.

Right. But the Leonidas are a long way from here.

Well, Reese would get there in an instant, and I'd be able to get there a little late for that, too, if I worked hard.

"It's okay, Master. Here's the guy who's gonna be our leg."

Reese says so, slapping Rasmus on the head with a pessi pessi.

Rasmus pays for it like he did, and expresses his anger.

"Ha!? You're telling me to fly!? I don't like it! You can't put a human on my back!

"So you're gonna die here?

"And I fly..."

Rasmus comfortably agreed to Reese's persuasion (threat).

... Yeah, you just have to snort.

Rasmus changes his appearance from human form to red dragon.

Oh...... if you look nearby, it's still big.

I know a dragon bigger than him, but even if it was small, it was a dragon.

"Look, just get on it."

Rasmus urging me with an awfully unpleasant voice.

Hmmm...... sorry to hear you hate me so much.

I'll be a little later, so why don't we just not get on his back?

"Mmm... if that's the case, it doesn't make sense"

Yeah? What do you mean, what?

"No, it's nothing. Well, this is like a setup against Rasmus. It's weird that you're attacking us and there's no punishment whatsoever, right?

I see...... Indeed, once you show your sweet face, it is the child who repeats the same thing over and over again.

It doesn't matter to me if Rasmus kills a human, but it doesn't necessarily harm the members of the Army of Salvation (Yerkthilla).

In fact, there are humans, albeit demonic possessed, like Ritter...

Technically, Ritter can't be a pure human being, but Rasmus mistakes Reese for a human being.

Then don't hesitate to give me a ride.

"Right. Dirty place, but bear with me, Master."

"Why would you say that! I mean, it's not dirty!!

Gaaaaaaa, even as I said it, me and Reese jumped on his back.

Then began the delightful journey of the sky.

The sound of the wind cutting off and flying at the view and ear side is amazing.

Now Rasmus, with me and Reese on board, was flying through the air at considerable speed.

Though children, boulders are dragons. It is quite fast.

If it was this fast, a normal person would be flying off his back and falling to the ground.

... This is definitely Rasmus' harassment, isn't it?

"Uh, it's comfortable. After all, it's easy to leave it to others to move around."

But instead of falling, Reese and I never took that storm upon our bodies.

Because it is breezing with my simple magic.

Thanks to this, we were able to relax and enjoy our empty journey.

"Damn, damn......!!

Knowing how Reese and I were, Rasmus roared remorsefully at me for harassing him.

You're trying to make him suffer a little, but you're angry if that other guy is relaxed.

"So how about this!?

Ooh!?

Rather than pursuing speed, Rasmus seems to have decided to fly to Zigzag.

If you think you made a steep rise, a steep drop. Repeat turbulence.

A normal person would undoubtedly have been thrown out of his back.

Well, it's okay because you improvised magic that's better balanced and won't be shaken down and now you put it on me and Reese...

"Creating magic with improvisation... even a wise man can't do that, that.... Hey."

"Hih."

Reese, who looked at me with a bitter smile, converts his voice a hundred and eighty degrees.

Then, punch him in the back to the point where he makes a sound with Dosun.

For a moment it was Rasmus, who dramatically lowers altitude, but manages to regain altitude again.

"Don't get too well. If it weren't for the Master, I would have killed him then."

"Wow, I get it..."

The roots of my teeth are not engaged anymore.

Reese's Iron Fist education seems to have worked for a long time.

Well, you'll have trouble being defied forever.

I want you to bear with me until then because there will be nothing more to do with me when I get to the Dragon settlement.

"Oh, don't get there in a little while"

That's how Reese shrugged as he looked down.

I'll take a look, but I don't know how far it is.

Once I went to a Dragon settlement, but that was a long time ago.

Reese seems to have made a few comebacks, but I was made to live a pull life in my guild, so you never followed it.

Thinking about that......

"Gwwwwwwwwww!!

A huge roar shook through the atmosphere.

That would probably be a dragon roar.

But compared to the Rasmus roar I heard earlier, there was a mismatch in size and intimidation.

"What? Welcome?"

Reese always feels the same, even when he hears such a growl.

If it's a dragon roar, it's powerful enough to shake up various creatures...

From her, is it no big deal at all?

"That's not true! That's my dad's growl! You guys, even if you regret coming here, it's too late!!

Rasmus laughs like he said so and won proudly.

Ho... He seems to have a lot of faith in his father.

Rasmus, who was flying reluctantly, began to fly as a delight on the contrary.

The other dragon seems to be getting closer and closer, and the distance is shrinking.

The dragon, approaching at a rapid pace, stopped suddenly in front of us.

It's a red dragon like Rasmus' father, but its size was far greater.

"Dad!!

"Rasmus."

To Rasmus screaming with delight, his father was terribly calm.

Perhaps he is a watchman who can retreat from outside enemies trying to break into the settlement.

Seeing me and Reese riding Rasmus' back as Giroli, I looked at Rasmus with disappointed eyes.

"If you think you've popped up somewhere, suddenly you go home... Besides, you even brought extra baggage."

"Chi, no, Dad! These guys forced me to do it...... Huh!!

Rasmus making excuses in haste.

Yeah, I'm sure you're right, but can you also explain that you're the one who set me up first?

It's like me and Reese are the bad guys.

"You fool. What could also be a dragon is dominated by the power of human flair... Shame on the dragon."

"Ugh..."

Looked at with cold eyes, Rasmus trembles with fright.

Damn, you're a father, but you throw up terrible words.

Though I have nothing to do with blood, I can't say that to everyone in the Army of Salvation (Yerkthilla) who thinks like my daughter.

The dragon, who sniffled and stared at Rasmus, now sees us.

"Man, from here on out is an unacceptable sacred place for you to enter. I'm gonna miss you because I think it's my son's mess this time, so just walk away."

... Is that it? This dragon doesn't realize that Reese isn't human either?

"... ha. After a while away, the quality of the dragon has apparently dropped."

"... what?

... Also, it seems boring.
