Everyone was instructed to take a bath and get dressed.

I decided to ask Mr. Olivia to wear the clothes that Ixis had bought me.

"Mako... what's the tooth shape on your neck... of Ixis?

Olivia says that to me in her underwear, in an unfortunate voice.

When I looked in the mirror, there was a red tooth shape firmly around my neck.

It's depressing because Nicole bit me pretty hard.

"No, it's not!

"So you're Augusto! It's perfectly fine! I'd be more than welcome to have you both. Make it a costume that hides up to your neck. I'll borrow it for a second, so wait!

If you rush to hide it, Mr. Olivia will stand up quickly.

It seemed like a perfect mistake.

"Please calm down, Mr. Olivia! This was bitten by Nicole!

"... Nicole?

I grabbed Mr. Olivia's arm and said so, trying to jump out of the room immediately, and Pittari and his movements stopped.

Olivia, who looked back, was releasing a great deal of killing.

You must have made such a terrible mistake... I realize that.

It's not strange that a flying bird fainted and fell on the spot, Mr. Olivia was releasing such an intense temper.

"... could you elaborate?

"Thigh, of course!

Shake your neck vertically at high speeds to voices and ghostly shapes that do not hide your anger.

If I told you, Nicole would kill you.

That's past my mind, but my safety is paramount.

Most importantly, Nicole should be in pain.

I told Olivia what Nicole had done.

"Well, Nicole pushed Mako down on the bed, touched her chest and said something to stir those kids up, didn't she? Besides, he even bit me in the neck."

"Sa, come on!

Calmed down...... a little different, cold signs through anger were felt by Mr. Olivia.

Olivia apologized to me for being so sorry for our Nicole, but her eyes weren't laughing.

In the meantime, I'll leave that story aside, and we'll talk about changing clothes.

I borrow my china dress and find myself relieved to look in the mirror and confirm that I manage to hide from this.

Mr. Olivia tied my hair handily and inserted a tweezer into my hair.

"You're so cute. A gift from Ixis."

"Yes."

Olivia, looking through the mirror, had her eyes narrowed when she looked at the tweezers.

I can tell by the look on your face that you are very happy that the scales of Ixis have stained.

"On a flower with the color of my body, a bell with the same color as my eyes. Exclusive. I think I want to claim it's my own."

Though I thought it was a color like Ixis, I hear Mr. Olivia got the same impression.

"Mako, you don't float face, do you? Looks like Ixis and I were fake lovers, and I wonder how annoying that feels."

"No, it's not... it's probably not me that's connected to Ixis."

I've been asking Mr Olivia worried, and I squeal like that.

I wondered myself if I had given up hope for what I might have put on.

I think Ixis likes me... but somewhere.

Because he had a tender eye for looking at me.

But if it wasn't.

If Ixis denies it again.

- I don't want it. Out of the way.

I'm afraid that's how they say it.

However special I thought of Ixis, it's not necessarily the same with them.

My father died in the original world.

I remember working hard to support my mother.

I was going to work hard on my own and help my mother.

In the end, she didn't need me.

Mother eventually stuck with someone other than her father lightly.

I wanted my mother to count on me the most.

I thought my mother was counting on me, too.

But you don't need me for your mother.

What was needed was the man.

I want to be thought of by Ixis.

But what if Ixis doesn't give me the same feeling back?

What if they tell you they don't want the same thing again?

What if they deny my feelings?

What if it's all my mistake and Ixis likes someone else?

It is painful not to be needed by those who want it.

Then, from the beginning.

- It's easier not to expect anything.

"No, Meiko's the one who likes Ixis, right?

"I just bothered Ixis, and I haven't done a single thing he likes. She also told me to go home because I was in the way just before. You've been clearly told before that you're not your type of choice!

Tell a decent Mr. Olivia, laughing.

When you hide your unpleasant feelings, you just have to laugh.

But in words, it's still hard.

I hate it when you're weak to be hurt in your own words.

"If I recall carefully, the inverse scales of Ixis, when I let them touch me before... they were just a little stained. Maybe she was attracted to Maria from then on."

"No, at the time that kid let me touch the scales, I like me"

Someone has been knocking on the room halfway through Mr. Olivia's words.

Looks like I've come to call you to go.

"Anyway, that kid's connection, it's Mako! Definitely. Be confident!

Shit, Mr. Olivia grabs my shoulder and pushes my back to go.

Outside the mansion were Ixis and Ouga, who wore more gorgeous costumes than usual.

The clothes are more colorful than usual and the bands are more beautiful.

Rarely does Ixis wear a throaty costume.

The inverse scales of Ixis are bright dark cherry blossoms with a little clavicle visible and somewhat colorful.

I fell in love with her because I didn't think she'd look good in that outfit either.

Meiko, let's go.

As Ixis lit up a little, I'm going to give you my hand.

I feel like I can always say that attitude.

I felt like they were telling me to make up for it.

I'm glad I just took my hand and nodded, as usual, without thinking about it.

Yet hesitate to do so for a moment.

For Ixis, I'm just one of many others.

My chest hurts when I think this tenderness is just tenderness.

My husband and guardian dragon.

Fighting each other to avoid the death route.

That should have been nice.

I wonder what distance you've been at.

I don't know much anymore and I get confused.

"What's going on, Meiko? Is it painful?"

To me solidified, Ixis approaches me with an anxious face.

Looks like my emotions are getting through to Ixis.

He peeks into his face, his hand reaches out on his cheek and flies.

Ixis looked surprised.

"So, it's okay! It's right up to the garden. Thanks for your help today. Bye!"

"Hey Meiko!

Ixis' voice was on his back, but he dashed and headed for the garden.

I wonder how this feels.

It's like I want to be liked by Ixis.

I want Ixis to think of himself.

I wish Ixis' connection were me.

That's how I get noticed now that I was hoping for it as it should be.

My hand just touches me, and my heart gets so loud.

I ran away unexpectedly.

No way, I hold my chest down, thinking no way.

Maybe I am.

- I thought you liked Ixis.

Like affirming it, blood swept hot all over your body.

Once you realize it, you can't possibly deny it.

Instead, how could I not have realized how I felt before?

Surprisingly natural, he wanted to be liked by Ixis.

There's only one reason I was thrilled whenever Ixis touched me.

"Meiko!"

Ixis is coming from behind.

Run away for now without knowing what face to look like.

There was Elliot, so he hid behind it so he could use it as a shield.

"Why are you running away?"

"I didn't run away!

Ixis' voice is stiff.

If you say that in a voice that's gone up, Ixis has reached out to get me.

Escape further to avoid it.

I'll do it too!

The children of the Dragon Clan, who were on Elliot's side, run out once and for all.

"Hey, come on, get out of the way!

Dragon tribe children began to run around Ixis for a short while.

For some reason, we all start playing like fools from there.

Olivia mocked me that it was time to start, and I finally finished.

I can also hit a tree so as to calm my raised breath.

Everyone was looking up at the sky, so if I had learned to do that too, Ixis stood beside me.

I didn't already have the strength to escape, so I lurk my breath.

I'm just saying that Ixis is on my side, and I'm not comfortable.

I should have been more relieved to be on my side usually.

I was only concerned about the signs of being there.

Here we go.

The moment Ixis said that, I heard a song from somewhere.

Everyone starts mumbling the song as if it were a chant.

The bodies of Ixis and other dragon tribes shine bright light, from which slowly the fluorescent light rises toward the sky.

The sight was so fantastic that I could see a number of grains of light rising up when I saw the sky.

Coming to a certain height, this time it slowly falls like a shooting star to the left and right as if through the sky.

That song was a dragon tribe song, apparently a song dedicated to some of the magic.

There seemed to be a thin membrane in the ceiling visible in the sky, which meant that magic would flow through it and reach the entire island.

The island floating in this sky seems to be the very body of an old dragon.

It was a ritual of giving songs and magic to the ancestors, who were the Li themselves, to inform them of the safety of the year and hope for the future.

"What do you say? How do you feel about seeing the ritual?"

"It was so beautiful!

I also forgot that it had a giddy vibe with Ixis, and if I answered the excitement, Ixis smiled happily.

I get thrilled with that face.

I tried to escape without knowing what to do, and Ixis grabbed my wrist for guessing it.

"I'm sorry. Apologize, don't run away."

"... Huh?

Suddenly he apologizes, confused as to what it is about.

"I'm sorry to say I'm interrupting. I didn't mean it when I said I didn't need Mako. If I could find my body and go back to the original world, I thought that would be better. I thought you shouldn't stay here because of me."

With a painful face, Ixis tells.

When you're on the side of Ixis, you're restless, and you do your best by running away.

The matter was completely out of my mind.

"Meiko wasn't originally a resident of this world, and I'm just going back to my old life. It's supposed to be, but it looks like we've got a big blank. When I thought someone other than myself was on Mako's side, I just thought about it and I was pissed off."

In the hand holding my wrist of Ixis, I felt strength.

"I wanted to keep Meiko on my side and didn't make up my mind to stick him out until he was critical. If only I could stay like this...... I can't believe it. I wanted you to be my true lover for at least one day."

Eyes down, Ixis spits his words spicy.

"If you think about Meiko, you should return it to the original world. I know. There's nothing you can do to keep Hilda and just jeopardize Mako. But... I don't like it."

Ixis has looked up and stared into my eyes.

My golden eyes shake in a cut, and I'm in it.

"I just thought that Mako would be gone from before me, and I just had to suffer! Augusto will protect me instead. It's supposed to be reassuring, but I'm not convinced. I'm the only one who can touch Meiko..."

The lump in my heart disappears like a lie to an ixis that spits out in pain.

I could see happiness filling my chest with a voice with fever seeking me.

"I like Mako. I know this is my selfishness. But... just a little more. Stay here, stay with me. Just stay on my side...... fine"

Ixis puts both hands on my hand, acting like a prayer.

The hand was shaking slightly frightened.

Ixis wants me.

He thinks specifically of me.

I was happy, and when I realized it, I was crying.

"Hey, why are you crying!

"That... is true"

Ixis is a dick.

I guess I didn't think you'd cry.

I didn't think I'd cry either.

Relax, I'm happy, I've never felt like this before.

- Ixis needs me.

That's enough for a reason to be here.

For anyone you like that you just realized.

I've been asked so far, there's no way I'm not happy.

"... I want to be with Ixis too! That's untrained in the original world, but there's still a lot left to do. I have a body, and I know how to go home because of Ouga, so you won't have a problem with that just extending a little later!

I say that brightly and laugh more.

If you say that at your usual rate, Ixis opens his eyes.

Then when I crooked and distorted my face, he hugged me with a crying smiley look.

"... thanks, Meiko"

"Yeah, thanks for coming over. I'm glad you said that, even though I only bothered Ixis!

I wonder how I can convey this pleasure.

I don't know, I hug Ixis back all the time.

Though I felt this wasn't enough.

Unfortunately, I couldn't think of any more ways to convey my feelings.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

The day after the ritual of fame month ended, he decided to follow inside the Dragon clan, where there were all sorts of disturbances.

Nicole, whom I met at the morning table, had been made to dress as a woman for some reason.

Although Nicole usually has long hair, which is like a room tied behind her head.

I tie it on both sides today and wear a peony-like flower on the left and right.

Honestly, very... cute.

"Nicole?

If I talk to him, he'll stare at me from the bottom.

"Because of you, Olivia pissed me off. How wonderful of you."

Apparently, with my exposure, I'm in the middle of a punishment.

It said on my face that I was sincerely unwilling.

"Why am I dressed like this by a noble black dragon..."

"Oh, aren't you reflecting, Nicole? You don't know what I'm talking about, do you, girl?

From next to Nicole, who tried to spill her stupidity, Mr. Olivia mutters with no expression.

Nicole caught my eye.

Apparently, in this House, the strongest is Mr Olivia, not Nicole.

"It's time for you to forgive me, Olivia. It was all necessary to sensitize Ixis."

Nicole will sue me with her gaze, telling me to do something about it.

"I don't think I needed to bite at all, and I think there was as much else to do"

If you squeal, Nicole will stare at you like you betrayed her.

I want you to think you deserve it.

"It's Nicole's bad habit to take everything in a funny direction and try to distract boredom, isn't it? I don't think kids like toying with their sons can complain about being toyed with the other way around. I'll have them hang out with me later to change clothes in a big size. Let's go straight on a date."

"Please Olivia... I'm a former demon king and a black dragon...? If they see you like that, they'll have dignity."

Nicole looked weak to Olivia smiling.

"I don't know that. Other than me... you spoken and bit me."

Mr. Olivia turns away.

"... Could you be jealous, Olivia"

"Then what do you say?"

Olivia squeaks in a stubborn tone at Nicole, who says surprised.

"Right, right. Sometimes this isn't a bad idea. You're jealous of me. You're cute again."

If Nicole reaches out happy, Mr. Olivia pays for it.

"I'm not funny."

"You know what? I have no desire other than you. Just Olivia."

Mr. Olivia's voice seems sweet when she doesn't look like she does, and Nicole captures that jaw.

"You won't be deluded..."

"Then all you have to do is whisper love"

Olivia and Nicole's mess starts right in front of me.

I'm at the Dragon Clan Mansion for another week or so, so I'm full.

The cute seemingly young girl with a tendency to fish eyes and the inflexible female warrior releasing peachy air had a somewhat counterproductive vibe.

But already, watching this like every day makes me tolerant.

Morning or not, day or night, but no more.

Even today the house of Ixis is peaceful......

I thought of that as we all moved to the next room handily.
