The Cruz were in the dining room when they returned from the village chief's house to the guard cabin.

Look at everyone. Sigishoara bumps her feathers.

"Ria."

"Welcome back! What did the village chief say?

"You can stay."

"Really?"

"So I need to talk to you a little..."

I report to the village chief what I told him about the brave party.

He also explained the situation in the village.

Luca says she was listening to that.

"Well, fine. Next time you tell me who you are, you should talk to me."

"Yes. I'm sorry"

"If you think Al would be nice, I don't mind at all."

And Cruz embarks on himself.

"How was the dungeon better than that? I haven't heard from you yet!

"You didn't ask Luca?

"Yes. I was going to ask Mr. Al directly"

"Right."

I'll explain to Cruz.

Cruz expressed more interest in removal of glitches and reinforcement of walls than stone snakes (Stonenaga).

"That's right, it's Mr. Al! And Vivi will do it too."

"Naturally."

If it's a stone snake, Cruz can take it down himself. However, the removal of grudges and the reinforcement of walls cannot be done by Cruz.

I guess that's why you thought it was more amazing.

That's when Millet came to the dining room and said:

"It's still a little while till dinner, so take a bath first"

"Right. Take a bath."

There have been many cool days lately. The warm hot springs are very comfortable.

I went into Hot Springs with Sigi to Fem, Morphy.

Sigi goes into the hot tub and butterflies his feathers.

"That's right."

Sigi loves hot springs.

"Ria."

Sigi is playing in hot water, swimming and playing.

Maybe I remembered because Fem and Morphy swim a lot.

I could hold a sigi.

Warm. Sigi are always warm, by the way, even if they're not in the hot springs.

"Sigi feels like a reptile born from an egg, but it's warm."

"Huh?

"You're closer to birds than reptiles, aren't you?

"I don't know. You're like a thermostat."

"Wahoo," "Already."

Femme and Morpheus were sniffing the smell of a shigi I could hold back.

When I got out of the bath, Cruz was just about to take a bath now.

Looks like Ulina's home, too. I'm holding hands with Cruz.

"Ah! You're out!

"Oh, here we go."

"I wanted to come in with Al."

"What are you talking about! My pre-dowry daughter."

"Uh."

Cruz swells his cheeks but Yulina is totally right.

Cruz strokes the siggy I'm about to hold.

"If Mr. Al can't, Sigi, let's go in together"

"What?"

Sigi just took a bath.

"Uh."

"Ri."

Sigi jumps right at Cruz's chest.

Cruz let his eyes shine.

"Are you coming in with me?

"Ria."

"Sigi, do you still want to take a bath?

"Ria."

Sigi seems to really like bathing.

Cruz and Yulina took Sigi for a bath.

Somehow even Fem and Morphy headed for the bath again.

I think our beasts like baths too much.

A little frightened, then looking at him, Luca came.

"You miss me, don't you?

"No, you're not."

Sigi, who hasn't been away from me for a long time, is growing a little bit too.

I felt happier than lonely.

Even if you can't see me, it's okay now. I guess I trusted you about the Cruz, too.

Glad to hear that, too.

"Yes, that would be nice."

Leaving that behind, Luca also went to take a bath.

◇ ◇ ◇

After dinner. Cruz says everyone is relaxing in the dining room.

"The femmes. You love drinking hot water."

Hot springs contain magic.

She also drinks a lot when she's in there with me.

Warcraft can feed on magic, so the hot springs in Murg Village seem to be good.

"Femme, Morphy, Sigi, they were hanging out drinking."

"Heh."

I don't usually drink as much as hang out.

I saw the femmes.

"..." "... also" "Ria"

Fem was looking away. Morphy has his neck clenched.

Sigi was innocently buttering his feathers.

Do you like the water around the girl more than the water near the old man?

They are nasty beasts.

"The water around Cruz looks delicious."

"Really?

"It's good." "That's good."

I haven't heard from Morphy in a long time. Sounds good.

Sigi is also ringing as if to affirm.

"What about Fem?

"... I don't know."

For Femme, it seems embarrassing that she feels the water around Cruz is good.

I'm not sure about Fem's shy standards.

Luca hugs Sigi, who was hugged by me.

Sigi rubs her head against Luca's chest with joy.

"Ria."

"Sigi is so cute. And now he's gonna let me hold him properly."

"Sigi is growing fast."

I'll ask what I cared about.

"By the way, Luca. Is Sigi a thermostat?

"Apparently so. It's a new fact about ancient dragons, by the way. I don't know if it's a thermostatic animal even if it's a Chenglong, but it's a thermostatic animal."

"Heh."

"I'm going to announce it to the Society, but you don't want to stand out much more than Sigi is being targeted"

"Well, I'll leave it to Luca to announce when"

"Thanks."

As she strokes Sigi, Luca tells Yulina.

"It's today's case, but I just can't miss it. I started working on a case near Wangdu."

"Right."

"Even Julina would like you to look into it."

"I got it. I'll make him look into it."

"Please."

"I don't mind. I'm not the one looking into it."

Yulina is a Virgin. The Church has considerable influence.

The Church has its own information network.

With a large number of believers and branches in each city of the country, its intelligence is comparable to the Adventurer's Guild.

It would be comforting if the Adventurer Guild and Church would move to gather information.

You just have to wait for the information to come along for a while.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

That night.

I was feeling good asleep. In addition to Sigi, there are Fem and Morphy in the bed.

I was even diving into Cruz for some reason. If Julina finds out, she's going to be angry.

Midnight.

Femme, who was asleep hugged by Cruz, moved frighteningly.

"Fem?"

- I'm freaking out. I'm freaking out.

I'm terribly frightened. Apparently, Fem stays asleep.

No, maybe I'm just unconscious. Very anxious.

It was so frightening that everyone but Femme woke up.

"Fem, are you okay?

"Already?" "What?"

Morphy and Sigi seem worried about Cruz, too.

Morphy is licking hard.

Worried I caressed Femme gently.

I guess Cruz and Sigi are worried. I stroke hard.

"Morphy, get me Luca and Yulina."

"Already."

Morphy ran right over.

"Are you all right? Fem. Hold on tight."

Fem doesn't wake up. I am frightened while sleeping.

Me and Cruz stroked Fem's back so hard to encourage him.

And Fem glowed.
