He and Dora both flew in their human form (plus wings), while I carried the others with Nosferatu [Wings of The Immortal]. While the entire Hidden Area is over a hundred kilometres in diameter, there\u2019s only a single large settlement in the middle. As I\u2019ve heard from Dora, the Dragon Newts don\u2019t use their human form often, and prefer to stay in their dragon form for most of the time. <em>(ED: Previously mistranslated as \u2018hundreds of kilometres\u2019)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLet\u2019s go! Now we can go sightseeing in the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut there doesn\u2019t seem to be much of a food culture\u2026 at least, based on what we\u2019ve heard from Dora\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEh? Seriously?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mio was super excited to stay in the Hidden Area, so Sakura\u2019s comment made her freeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLet\u2019s see\u2026 she said they mostly hunt wild monsters for meat. And they just roast it over fire\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat the heck!? You mean there are no speciality dishes in the Hidden Area!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s a shame, I was also looking forward to it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The foodie duo [Mio and Sera] got disappointed. Now that I think about it, they weren\u2019t with us yet, when we learned about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back when I tamed Dora, she enjoyed eating human food so much that I asked her about what she used to eat before we met. According to her, Dragon Newts don\u2019t have a habit of cooking, and they just hunt monsters (dragons excluded) that wander inside the barrier for food. Apparently they roast some of them, but it isn\u2019t to the point where you\u2019d call that actual cooking (is what I recall).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu, Kyui~\u2026 <em>Mio, you do it\u2026<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou betcha! We\u2019re going to cause a food-culture hazard in the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area! Once I\u2019m done, they won\u2019t be able to go back to living without it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe scary thing is, Mio could really do it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can a person who never ate decent food in their life, suddenly eat food prepared by the world\u2019s best chef (provisional), Mio, and still keep their sanity? I\u2019m already really looking forward to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, there\u2019s more to sightseeing than food-tasting, so I\u2019d still like to take a look around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI will follow Jin-sama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI figured as much, Maria-chan, but this time it might be better if we all go together\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mio proposed to act as a group. I guess there might still be people who don\u2019t want us here, besides Akatsuki [Insect Bastard].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI guess so. If we split up, we\u2019ll be more likely to stir up some trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWould you mind if I came along\u2026? Jin-kun\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot at all. Then, let\u2019s all go sightseeing together this time. Well, we\u2019re the only tourists here anyway\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since it\u2019s not much of a tourist destination, the plus side is that we can take a look around freely without having to worry about running into crowds or some uncouth individuals. But, at the same time, we have to pay attention not to behave rudely ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyukyui~! <em>Dora will guide~!<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh! Thank you, Dora.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu! <em>Un!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, let\u2019s see what kind of places my little Dora will guide us to. Now I\u2019m really looking forward to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a five-minute-long flight from the Dragons\u2019 Gate, we reached the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area\u2019s village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYep, just as I thought, it\u2019s quite primitive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey lived in hiding for a long time, so it\u2019s only natural\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just as Sakura and I muttered involuntarily, the people of the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area seem to live pretty simple lives. Most of the houses in the village are simple buildings primarily made out of straw. What makes them stand apart though is their size, big enough to accommodate multiple people even in their dragon form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOnly that one house looks to be more solidly built.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu~ <em>That\u2019s Dora\u2019s house.<\/em>\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs expected of a princess.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sole exception is a huge stone mansion in the middle, which looks a few levels more advanced than the straw houses around it. Somehow, it reminded me of the Dragons\u2019 Gate, so maybe it was built by the same people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are hardly any people here. Have they been evacuated?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes, they were. They took refuge in the mansion, since it\u2019s the sturdiest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was the Chieftain who answered Maria\u2019s muttered question. Looking at the map, most Dragon Newts indeed took refuge in the mansion. Due to space limitations, they are all in their human form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On that topic, we learned that during peacetime, the Dragon Newts mostly remain in their dragon form, with only 10% of their time being spent in their human form. So, pretty much only when they perform some delicate tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon entering the village, we were greeted by the Dragon Newt residents, almost all of whom looked like macho young men and women. One of them, a young woman with a slightly-less-muscular body, stepped forward. She is quite pretty, with her short red hair. \u2026and, she\u2019s completely naked. Apparently her name\u2019s Mikazuki <em>(ED: Crescent Moon\u200b)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChief, welcome back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMhm. More importantly, I see you\u2019re all safe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh, I didn\u2019t notice at first, since they are in their human form, but there are some of the people, who fought the Abyssal Dragon before, here. They must have returned after regaining consciousness. Looks like they chose not to hide inside the mansion, and protect the village instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026We were no match for the invading dragon and ended up showing you something unsightly. We have no excuse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDon\u2019t be so hard on yourself. I\u2019d say it couldn\u2019t be helped against such a powerful opponent. Still, I see that everyone but Akatsuki is back. I\u2019m glad you\u2019re all safe\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen we woke up, there wasn\u2019t even a single wound on our bodies. Perhaps, did you do something\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most Dragon Newts, including Mikazuki [the woman] turned towards us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMhm. I\u2019m sorry to say this, but I had to ask these people for help. Just with healing, at first\u2026 But then, also to subdue the dragon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cS-surely, you don\u2019t mean they killed the dragon, right!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s a joke, right!? Humans subdued the dragon!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot only can they use \u2018Recovery Magic\u2019, they can even slay a dragon!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gathered Dragon Newts all protested loudly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBe quiet. \u2026It\u2019s no wonder you wouldn\u2019t believe it, but I\u2019ve seen it with my own eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIs that why you brought them to the village?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s right. They\u2019re the benefactors of our Hidden Area. It\u2019s only natural that we should entertain them, don\u2019t you think?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, if that\u2019s how it is. Then, we should probably let everyone know the dragon\u2019s been defeated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPlease do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Chieftain\u2019s remark, several Dragon Newts, who were likely previously chosen for the job, instantly ran and flew away. Looks like despite giving off this \u2018cool-headed beauty\u2019 kind of vibe, this woman, Mikazuki, is actually very attentive to detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon has been defeated, so there\u2019s no need to stay underground any more. Plus, it\u2019s a good idea to let everyone know that we were the ones who defeated it, to avoid unnecessary confusion. \u2026I mean, saying that \u2018Humans have saved the Hidden Area from crisis\u2019 is bound to cause some confusion anyway\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, we were led by the Chieftain (plus Mikazuki) towards the stone mansion, which is also Dora\u2019s former house. The Dragon Newts who were evacuated were still there, but so were the treasures we\u2019ve been promised, so we had no choice but to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we reached the mansion, Dragon Newts coming out of its basement started to appear. \u2026naked. Looks like they have already been told about us, as they are directing their gazes filled with a variety of emotions towards us. There\u2019s embarrassment, suspicion, gratitude, respect, jealousy, irritation, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people seem either confused, or suspicious towards us. Then again, we don\u2019t really look like we\u2019re capable of taking down a dragon, so I guess it\u2019s only natural. Not to mention, it was the second-youngest among us who actually did it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next most-common reactions are gratitude and respect. Of course, there are also those who flat-out didn\u2019t believe it, but number-wise, they mostly look grateful for our help. Well, to begin with, we have the Chieftain to vouch for us. Also, the older they are (mostly 500+ years old), the more grateful they appear. They are probably those old enough to remember the previous two attacks. <em>(ED: They previously mentioned that dragons of this rank usually only attacked every 500 years or so, but there was another one a couple of years ago. The one that killed Dora\u2019s parents)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the rest, they gaze at us with a variety of negative emotions like jealousy and irritation. They are likely thinking things like: that we are human invaders; that the Dragon Newts should be left alone; that we shouldn\u2019t have been allowed into the village in the first place; and so on. Looking at their age, they are mostly the younger ones. We should probably keep an eye on them for the time being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>A: Please leave it to me. I will notify Master if anything happens.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leaving the spectating Dragon Newts to the side, we entered the mansion. Since it\u2019s supposed to house people in their dragon form, its scale is obviously much larger than in human houses, but the general layout doesn\u2019t differ by much. Unsurprisingly, there are no doors. Most Dragon Newts vary in size, when in their dragon form, so, adding their human form on top of that, it was probably impossible to come up with a single uniform size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHere we are. This is the treasury. Please choose from among the things inside.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWow! There are so many treasure-like things in here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, it\u2019s a treasury, so it\u2019s only natural, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just as Mio said, the room the Chieftain led us to is filled with various treasures. There\u2019s everything from gems to weapons inside. There are even some magic items in here. It looks pretty promising, \u2026but still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEven though it\u2019s a treasury, it doesn\u2019t even have a door. Isn\u2019t that a bit too careless\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, there are no strangers in the Hidden Area, you see. Plus, most people already know what\u2019s inside. Not to mention, that, until your visit, the only other visitors we got were invading dragons, so\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI see. So, it\u2019s like, even if you steal it, there\u2019s no way to sell it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, that\u2019s how it is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s not much point protecting your valuables, when there are no intruders, and there are only relatives around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBy the way, how many treasures can we pick?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe didn\u2019t really specify that, did we? Let\u2019s see\u2026 How about up to six, so, one for each of you, including Shirayuki?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOkay, up to six it is. Then, everyone should look for what they like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u201dYes.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyui~ <em>Yes~<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dora, Mio and Sera replied cheerfully. What about Sakura and Maria?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t need anything, Jin-sama. Please choose one more instead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJin-kun\u2026 if you want, you can have mine as well\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026I see. Thanks, you two.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As they didn\u2019t desire anything, the two passed their rights onto me. I mean, I\u2019m grateful and all, but can you please be a bit more assertive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen, I\u2019m sorry, but I have to go explain to everyone. I only told them the bare minimum before. Plus, there\u2019s also Shirayuki\u2019s case on top of that, so\u2026 As for the treasures\u2026 you can ask Mikazuki here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chieftain said, as he turned around to leave the treasury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we first arrived at the Dragons\u2019 Gate, one of the gatekeepers went back to the village, to bring over the Chieftain, so the people here must have already heard that Dora, aka Shirayuki, returned to the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area (or \u2018came back home\u2019, to be more precise).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in the end, she chose to come with me instead (obviously). As such, only a few people, including the Chieftain, actually knew about it. Plus, there was this whole thing with an invading Abyssal Dragon right after that, so, as a result, most people here must have misunderstood that Dora is here to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOn that topic, is there a reason why you didn\u2019t touch on that when we entered the village?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHmm, I thought it was only going to cause further confusion if I mentioned Shirayuki back then. It would be better if we took care of that after they hear all about how you saved the Hidden Area. And if I bring you along for that, they will likely get really emotional towards you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Oh, so you\u2019re gonna take care of it while we\u2019re browsing through the treasures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s the general idea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I see, so the Chieftain already took all of that into account (even if it does seem a bit rude of him to do so). If that\u2019s the case, I guess we can choose without much hurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the Chieftain left the treasury, we took our time looking around, and these are the items we chose!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dragon Horn Flute<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note: A flute made from dragon\u2019s horn.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Infernal Dragon\u2019s Fang<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note: A fang of an Infernal Dragon, a high-rank dragon species with a fire attribute.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Infernal Dragon\u2019s Jewel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note: A beautiful red jewel. Very rare and valuable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I chose a Dragon Horn Flute, an Infernal Dragon\u2019s Fang and an Infernal Dragon\u2019s Jewel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The flute is a gift for one of my slaves, Fiyu. She\u2019s a musician, so maybe she\u2019ll enjoy a rare instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also had a pretty good reason as to why I chose the other two. The Infernal Dragon\u2019s Fang is, so to speak, a body part of an Infernal Dragon. And the Infernal Dragon\u2019s Jewel is actually not a jewel, but a polished magic stone of said Infernal Dragon. In other words, now I have both the magic stone and a body part of an Infernal Dragon for Tamo-san to be able to transform into one. By the way, the Infernal Dragon that these came from was a high-rank dragon that attacked the Hidden Area 500 years ago. It was of the same rank as the Abyssal Dragon from earlier\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dragon Ball<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note: A beautiful rainbow-coloured jewel. Very rare and valuable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was Dora who chose this one. Unlike the Infernal Dragon\u2019s Jewel, it\u2019s just a pretty gem. Something about it must have struck a chord with Dora, who\u2019s usually not one to go for shiny things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dragon\u2019s Treasure Dagger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Class: Dagger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rarity: Legendary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note: Freshness Recovery, Detoxification<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mio chose a legendary weapon, the Dragon\u2019s Treasure Dagger. \u2026Yep, it\u2019s a kitchen knife. I guess she\u2019ll use it for cooking. Also, when she found it, I heard her mutter: \u201cMaybe I should collect all eight\u2026\u201d Probably some manga reference I don\u2019t know about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dragon Horn Spear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Class: Large Spear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rarity: Legendary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note: Extra damage to dragons, Hit correction when throwing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looks like Sera chose the Dragon Horn Spear. Her sword and shield are already of legendary grade, but her spear is just a mithril one. Maybe she wanted to complete the set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We chose six treasures, all of them related to dragons (even if Dora\u2019s didn\u2019t look like it). Of course, there were other interesting things in here, but there\u2019s no point choosing regular items when we\u2019re in the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chieftain returned to the treasury 10 minutes after we finished picking our rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHmm, are these six the ones you chose?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, is there some kind of problem with them? Is there something we can\u2019t take?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, I already told you to pick from the items inside. Just, I didn\u2019t mean you had to pick right away. You can have these if you wish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll right, thanks. Then, that completes our contract\u2026 By the way, how did explaining to your people go?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking at the Chieftain\u2019s complexion, it didn\u2019t seem to go that bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMm, I handled it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMeaning, there was something to \u2018handle\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, you get the idea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPretty much\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He wouldn\u2019t say he \u2018handled\u2019 it, if there was nothing to \u2018handle\u2019 in the first place. In short, there must have been some opposition in Shirayuki\u2019s, or rather Dora\u2019s case. Nevertheless, if he says he did, then I guess it\u2019s already been taken care of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, and we\u2019re going to throw a feast to celebrate the dragon\u2019s subjugation. Well, even if I call it that, we will just have some sake and roasted monster meat.\u201d <em>(ED: Sake \u2013 Japanese alcohol made from fermented rice)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, you have sake here\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, we do. Quite a lot, actually.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To think they would have sake, even though they don\u2019t know how to cook. Come to think of it, dragons did have an image of booze lovers. I guess it\u2019s not much different for the Dragon Newts\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis time especially we need to celebrate, since thanks to your help, there were no casualties. It\u2019s pretty much a miracle, considering the strength of the dragon that attacked this time around. Well, it also means we have to hold one regardless of whether the one who actually defeated the dragon happened to be, let\u2019s say, a human visiting the Hidden Area\u2026\u201d <em>(ED: I guess no one died after all, I\u2019ll go and correct that later)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDid you decree that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI did. So, I\u2019m sorry, but it would be helpful if you agreed to also attend. Even if you are outsiders, we can\u2019t very much have a party without our guests of honour.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I weighed the pros and cons of going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have one more question: how do you see us now?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou are our guests, and benefactors who saved the Hidden Area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour guests, huh\u2026? Then, what would you do if some Dragon Newts were to attack your guests?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re saying there might be some who\u2019d ignore my orders and come after you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chieftain seemed to understand what I meant, so his face turned bitter. There\u2019s already the case of Akatsuki [Insect Bastard], so it\u2019s not like it couldn\u2019t happen again in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf someone does something to you, you are free to respond in kind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf someone tries to kill us, can we kill them back?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019d like to believe there are no such fools, but\u2026 Please stay your hand, if possible\u2026 Even if they are fools, they are still our relatives, and the people of the Hidden Area\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ll take that into consideration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI hope nothing like that happens\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s impossible, right? It\u2019s me we\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afterwards, a feast was held by the Dragon Newts to celebrate the defeat of the dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are about 2,000 people (monsters?) in total living in the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area, and around 1,500 of them, so, about 75%, came to the party, while the remaining 500 did not. They likely had various reasons not to come, but I\u2019m sure that for more than just a couple of them it was due to negative feelings they harbour towards us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the way, everyone attending is in their human form, and most of them are nude. According to the Chieftain, they don\u2019t feel any shame from being naked in their human form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back when they came to meet us at the Dragon\u2019s Gate, the Chieftain wore trousers though. Seeing as they usually stay naked, that seemed a bit unnatural, but when I asked him about it, he said that a human traveller who got lost and ended up entering the Hidden Area by chance in the past, taught them that it was common sense among humans to wear clothes. Even if it only happened once before, apparently they did prepare some clothes in case more humans visited in the future. But, obviously, they didn\u2019t have enough for everyone, so most of them are still nude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the table in front of us, there are plates filled with meat skewers that the Dragon Newts roasted using their own fire breath, and an unusually large amount of alcoholic beverages. The feast started with a greeting speech by the Chieftain, who wanted everyone to at least see our faces, but it wasn\u2019t that interesting, so I\u2019ll omit it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, we are the focus of everyone\u2019s attention, however, despite being curious, it looks like no one was brave enough to approach us on their own, so they all just ended up standing there (naked) and watching us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDon\u2019t be so tense, Maria.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes, Jin-sama. Though even if you tell me so\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Maria, who\u2019s my self-proclaimed bodyguard, it must be pretty hard to feel at ease in this situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt can\u2019t be helped, so just don\u2019t think about it. Let\u2019s eat something for now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJin-sama, Sakura-sama, I think you should avoid eating any food here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHmm? It\u2019s not poisoned, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDid you learn something from the map\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there was any poisonous food, I would get an alert from the map, plus, Alta would warn me about it beforehand. But, just to be safe, Maria volunteered to test my food for poison whenever we eat outside. \u2026She\u2019s so overprotective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, it isn\u2019t poisoned or anything. Just that\u2026 I don\u2019t think it will fit Jin-sama and Sakura-sama\u2019s tastes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat bad, huh\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat bad, is it\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI can eat it just fine, but I wouldn\u2019t call it tasty even if I were being generous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being a slave, Maria ate some of the worst food possible in the past. It\u2019s probably better than that, but still not something she\u2019d want us to experience. Feeling a bit curious, I picked up a piece of meat from the table and took a bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u201dAh\u2026\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the time Sakura and Maria exclaimed, it was already in my mouth. *chew*, *chew*, *swallow*.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026Yep, it\u2019s pretty bad. It\u2019s not seasoned at all, not to mention it\u2019s unevenly cooked, with different parts of it being undercooked and burnt at the same time. \u2026Even the texture\u2019s horrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Yeah. Let\u2019s not\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJin-sama\u2026 I was too late\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJin-kun\u2026 that\u2019s why you are just\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honestly, it was hard not to be curious after Maria\u2019s comment. In the end, my curiosity got the better of me, and I had to take a bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAh! I\u2019ve had enough! Sera-chan, don\u2019t eat that! Give it to me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat are you going to do? Can you even improve meat that\u2019s so disgusting?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ll cook it again! At least I\u2019ll make a proper meal out of it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we were talking, Mio who was sitting next to us suddenly cried out. Apparently, the sheer existence of such terrible food was something she couldn\u2019t tolerate any longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She used the Dragon\u2019s Treasure Dagger she got earlier to cut the burnt parts off the meat skewer. She dropped them back on her plate, but she probably wasn\u2019t going to eat them later. Next, she adjusted the taste with some seasoning that she took out of the Inventory [Infinite Storage], before cooking it more evenly with \u2018Fire Magic\u2019. Finally, she took out a small plate and poured some special sauce onto it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOkay, it\u2019s done. You can add this sauce if you like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThank you. It\u2019s delicious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sera, who bit into it right away, exclaimed in admiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, can I have one too?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyui~ <em>Dora wants some too~<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI would like one as well\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes, yes, wait a minute. I\u2019ll make some for you next.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saying that, Mio started re-cooking the meat skewers for the rest of us. The one she handed me was so delicious, I couldn\u2019t believe it was the same one I tried before. I don\u2019t know what kind of monster meat it is, but the quality of the meat itself doesn\u2019t seem that bad, so it tastes totally different with just some seasoning added and being properly cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDelicious\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyuu~! <em>Yummy~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s delicious. Thank you, Mio.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, you\u2019re welcome. As our party\u2019s designated cook, I can\u2019t let Master eat something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mio declared, while proudly sticking out her (barely existing) chest. However, her face quickly changed to a look of worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut I think I might have overdone it a bit\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRight. It did turn a little\u2026 tense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We got surrounded by Dragon Newts, who are clearly interested, but can\u2019t seem to muster the courage to come and talk to us. The Dragon Newts have no cooking culture to begin with, so they must have never eaten delicious food. Did they notice the enticing smell coming off our meat skewers, while eating poorly made ones themself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are currently surrounded by a hundred (naked) Dragon Newts staring at Mio\u2019s re-cooked meat skewers with drool coming out of their mouths. \u2026Yeah, they\u2019re weirding me out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat do I do, Master? Should I make some meat skewers for them as well?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, that wouldn\u2019t solve anything. To begin with, we would have to summon the maids to do that, since it would be impossible for Mio alone. Well, unless you were being serious when you said you wanted to cause a food-culture hazard. If so, I won\u2019t stop you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feeding everyone here would be difficult, unless we called on the maids for help. Plus, if we do feed them some good food, it will no doubt mess with their current food-culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, I don\u2019t think Mio-chan would do something extreme like feeding them all at once, unless she was forced to\u2026 She was probably going to set up food stalls and spread it bit by bit. I think that\u2019s much more like her\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s surprisingly well planned\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s right. I wasn\u2019t joking about causing a food-culture hazard\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maria and Sakura looked surprised by her comment. Oh, she was actually serious about that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf that\u2019s what Mio wants, then, can\u2019t we just leave this place\u2026?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOf course. So, what do you want to do, Master?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo begin with, we can just ignore them and keep eating, seeing as they haven\u2019t asked us to share with them or anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re right\u2026 They just keep watching us\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, they might not have said it, but they obviously look like they want some.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s this saying: \u201cYour eyes say as much as your mouth does\u201d, though, in their case it\u2019s their entire bodies, rather than just their eyes. However, the world is not so nice, that you can get the things you want just by looking at them, without even having to ask. \u2026Or, at least, I\u2019m not so nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo matter what atmosphere they give off, I won\u2019t be intimidated by people who won\u2019t even come up to me and ask\u2026 Then again, if I completely ignore them, it might sour our relations with the Dragon Newts, and affect our ability to do some sightseeing tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, basically, it\u2019s about Master\u2019s good image as a tourist. Or, a traveller, was it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right, I\u2019m Shindou Jin. High-school student, traveller, and dungeon master. Nice to meet you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMio and I were also both bought by Jin-sama, to support him during his journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh yeah, I guess that was Master\u2019s original reason\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEh? Then, why did you buy me\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI didn\u2019t buy Sera for any particular reason.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEh!? Isn\u2019t that terrible!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back when I bought Mio and Maria, I was looking for someone with \u2018Cooking\u2019 skill. When I bought Sera later, I did buy her because of her \u2018Hero\u2019s Proof\u2019 skill, but I didn\u2019t have any particular purpose for her in mind. Even saying it was to improve our combat strength, would probably be a stretch, right? We were already capable of taking on S-rank adventurers at the time\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGoing back to the main story, it\u2019s not that uncommon for travellers to help the locals, you know. Though, in such cases, there\u2019s usually a price involved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSaying \u2018price\u2019, Master usually has rare skills or magic items in mind, right? But we just got the magic items, so\u2026 are there any interesting skills\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnfortunately, that\u2019s a miss, Mio. The correct answer was: if you want me to feed you, let me tame you first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat happened to caring for your good image!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I got poked at by Mio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPets [tamed monsters] tend to have a pretty good impression of their masters, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, that\u2019s true, but\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf they don\u2019t want to be tamed, they can always just say no. I\u2019m not going to force anyone. I\u2019ll just make them an unreasonable offer, and give them an incentive that they\u2019re unlikely to refuse. Though, I guess one might argue whether that\u2019s any better\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I won\u2019t let them eat Mio\u2019s meat skewers, until they let me tame them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWon\u2019t that destroy your good image pretty fast?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s right. But since it\u2019s bound not to last anyway, wouldn\u2019t it be better to take this chance to try and tame some of them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI feel like I get it, and don\u2019t get it at the same time. So, going back to my question, I should go with the option that helps us build good relations, so\u2026 I should feed them?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019d say no, since that would be too one-sided.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no point in having good relations, if it\u2019s contingent on us doing stuff for them for free. If that were the case, it wouldn\u2019t be worth staying here any more, so we might as well just leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve already received what we\u2019ve been promised, so, at worst, we\u2019ll have to forego tomorrow\u2019s sightseeing and leave earlier. And since we\u2019ve got nothing to lose, we might as well take this chance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, if Master says so, then I won\u2019t stop you. There is no good food in the Hidden Area anyway, so I don\u2019t really have a reason to stay\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMe neither, I\u2019m not really interested in places with no good food.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mio and Sera stay dedicated to their passion. Well, it\u2019s also the reason why the culinary repertoire of our mansion keeps increasing, so it\u2019s not like I\u2019m gonna complain\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow about you, Dora? Do you want to stay overnight\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu, Kyukyu~ <em>U-un, Dora will follow Master~.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI will also follow Jin-sana. Time and time again\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was unanimously decided that \u201cIn the worst case, we can just leave ahead of time\u201d. I guess the overall evaluation of the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area was pretty low, all things concerned\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSpeaking of which, Dora, do you mind if I tame other Dragon Newts?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thought I\u2019d ask if she had anything against it, ahead of time. It\u2019s pretty unlikely, but maybe a couple of them will agree to be tamed. If that were to happen, generally, I would welcome them with open arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if Dora were to say \u201cPlease don\u2019t tame other Dragon Newts\u201d, then the whole \u2018Operation Meat Skewers\u2019 would immediately be cancelled and there\u2019d be nothing more for us to talk about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu~, Kyu? <em>If Master tames them, how Master treats Dora won\u2019t change, right?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOf course. Dora will always be my favourite pet and body-pillow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyui~! <em>Then, it\u2019s okay~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I guess she\u2019s fine with it as long as her position isn\u2019t in danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With that, I approached the nearby Dragon Newts while holding a couple of meat skewers re-cooked by Mio. Of course, Maria is following close behind me. As I approached, they seemed to get even more restless. Their wide-open eyes kept staring at the meat skewers in my hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I moved my hand to the side, all of their eyes followed. \u2026Now, isn\u2019t this interesting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oops, it\u2019s not really a good time to keep fooling around. I raised the meat skewers in my hand and declared.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you want a re-cooked meat skewer, pledge your allegiance to me and agree to be tamed!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naturally, there was an uproar among the Dragon Newts. They looked at each other with troubled faces, murmuring things like \u201cWhat do we do?\u201d or \u201cMmmm\u2026\u201d <em>(ED: Struggling to decide)<\/em>. Is it really that hard!? Just make a decision already!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The very next moment, the Dragon Newt woman, Mikazuki, stepped in between us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was the one who talked with the Chieftain as a representative, after the fight with the Abyssal Dragon, so it looks like she holds a pretty high position in the Hidden Area. So, after all, I guess I overstepped the boundary by trying to tame them. She\u2019ll probably ask us to leave the Hidden Area. It\u2018s a shame that I didn\u2019t manage to tame even a single person\u2026 Well, I guess it can\u2019t be helped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While I was thinking that, Mikazuki kneeled in front of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI, Mikazuki, pledge my allegiance to you. \u2026please give me a meat skewer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEh\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thought she was a cool-headed beauty, but I guess she\u2019s just another glutton after all. Now that I had another look, surprisingly, she\u2019s also drooling. It\u2019s dripping on her voluptuous chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Okay. Then, accept to be tamed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I cast the \u2018Monster Taming\u2019 skill on her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&gt; You tamed the Crescent Dragon.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&gt; Please give it a name.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yep, she agreed to be tamed without resistance. It\u2019s amazing what some people will do for some good barbecue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s have a look at her status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Name: Mikazuki <\/strong><strong><em>(ED: Crescent Moon, as previously mentioned)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Level: 73<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gender: Female<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Age: 195<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Race: Dragon Newt (Crescent Dragon)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Skills: &lt;Draconic Magic LV3&gt; &lt;Body Strengthening LV4&gt; &lt;Flight LV4&gt;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, how very subtle\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen, here\u2019s your meat skewer, as promised.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After I said that, I handed a meat skewer to Mikazuki, who started to devour it with tremendous momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c*bite*, *bite! *chew*, *chew*! *swallow*! *catching breath*\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow was it? Was it really that tasty?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes. It was delicious\u2026 I\u2019m the happiest I\u2019ve ever been in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I asked her that, once she was done, she replied with a face beaming with happiness. Watching her eat, the other Dragon Newts\u2019 patience also reached its limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI-I want to be tamed too!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cM-me too! Please give me a meat skewer!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMe toooo, please!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cQuickly! Give me a meat skewer!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having reached their limit, the Dragon Newts agreed to be tamed one after another. From what I can see, there\u2019s about 50 who want to be tamed. Of course, I don\u2019t have that many meat skewers in my hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMio, prepare more skewers!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes! I\u2019m already on it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I asked Mio, who started to re-cook the skewers, several at once, at a much higher pace than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, it\u2019s going to be a lot of work to tame them all one by one. Hmm, thinking back to when I tamed the harpies, didn\u2019t I tame multiple ones at the same time back then? I wonder If I can do something similar\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>A: I recommend using an area-of-effect \u2018Monster Taming\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>A: It\u2019s something that becomes possible once you reach level 7 in \u2018Monster Taming\u2019. It allows you to set a \u2018taming area\u2019. If a monster accepts to be tamed while in the area, it will be successfully tamed. The area will remain active for 10 minutes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wow, I didn\u2019t know that was a thing\u2026 Well, let\u2019s give it a try. I immediately cast <em>\u2018Monster Taming\u2019 on the area in front of me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnyone who wants to be tamed, you should agree to it after stepping inside this taming area.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The people who applied before, followed my instructions and got tamed one after another. For a while, \u2018&gt; You tamed\u2026\u2019 announcements continued to flow through my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the time the taming area disappeared, 53 happy-looking Dragon Newts had all successfully been tamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Author\u2019s Note: Meat that you just roast over fire is not a dish.
