ED: Sorry for the sudden hiatus, I just got caught up in one thing after another, and a month flew by before I even noticed. Also, you might have noticed that Kuhaku just went and disappeared one day, along with their discord channel (and the owner deleted his discord account, so I can\u2019t even contact them to figure out what happened), so I decided to throw together a simple website to keep posting chapters on. I still have contact with Rihn and NomAsh, and they both said they want to keep working on this novel, so we will keep it going here instead.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other news, I\u2019m going back to Heroic Soul Blade – Incomplete, and I\u2019m dropping the [Tangerine] joke at the end. In case you didn\u2019t know, the name of Jin\u2019s sword, Soul Blade – Incomplete, which he had since Part 1, is read as \u2018reitou mikan\u2019, which is a homonym for \u2018frozen oranges\u2019 (tangerines to be exact) in Japanese, but since author added another words at the beginning, it doesn\u2019t really work any more, and they don\u2019t seem to make this joke any more either, so I\u2019ll just leave it as one of those things you might know about if you\u2019ve read the entire novel.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapter 87: The Barrier and the Conclusion of the Hidden Area<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author\u2019s Note: This is the final chapter of Part 5, so it’s the usual pattern. I didn\u2019t know where to cut it, so it became unintentionally long. And most of it is explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having named Elle, there wasn\u2019t anything else I needed to check. The other members are still waiting near the barrier, so let\u2019s head back for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got on Blue and flew towards the Hidden Area. Also, it might have become troublesome if dragon newts were to see Elle, so I sucked her in like udon again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L: If possible, I would like to manifest all the time…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, at the very least, I don\u2019t intend to let you do that while we\u2019re in the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area. And even after that, I don\u2019t plan on having you out all the time. Also, If there are ever times I don\u2019t want you to be seen, I will put you into sleep mode as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L: That is unfortunate…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: If you do not wish to obey Master, there is always the \u2018delete\u2019 button.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

L: P-please spare me from that at the very least!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alta really has no mercy on Elle. Of course, even if she wanted to erase her, I wouldn\u2019t let her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: As her senior, I cannot allow for any disrespect towards Master.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

L: Uuu… I cannot even go against Alta-dono. I will behave…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s not even a sliver of her dignity as the Ancestral God-Dragon left any more. …Well, I\u2019ll let you out from time to time, so you don\u2019t have to be so down. Besides, if there\u2019s anything for you to do as my familiar, I\u2019ll make sure to ask you then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L: Thou promise!? I want thee to let me out whenever possible! Also, bring on the familiar work!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: Quiet, please.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

L: Yes…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I feel kind of sorry for her. It should be fine to let her manifest while we\u2019re at the mansion at the very least…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaster, we\u2019re almost there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight, good job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were about to arrive at the (already destroyed) section of the barrier around the Dragon Newts’ Hidden Area. Sakura and the others are all together, waiting for us, so let\u2019s land next to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe boss battle\u2019s over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you for your hard work, Jin-sama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWelcome back, Jin-kun…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyu~ Welcome back~<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone greeted me as I jumped down from Blue\u2019s back. Once I got down, she transformed back into her (completely naked) human form. Mikazuki and Leaf were already in their (clothed) human forms, by the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou too, Sera. You did well back there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, it was no problem at all. I can easily erase a magic attack of that level, so there\u2019s no need to thank me, Master.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSera-chan was pretty epic, right Master!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Mio just said, it was Sera who single-handedly took care of that final breath attack from Elle. Still, being able to erase magic attacks can come in useful in more ways than one, it seems. And my Heroic Soul Blade – Incomplete can also absorb magic now, so I\u2019d say we\u2019re pretty well equipped for any anti-magic combat right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMore importantly, Master, you got all sorts of new skills and stuff, right!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, there were quite a few of them this time, so I\u2019ll explain about them later.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNice!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looks like she\u2019s pretty hyped about my newly unlocked powers, but let\u2019s put it off for now. I\u2019ve already tested them out a bit, and while talking to Mio might result in some new and interesting ways of using them, I would still rather do it once things have calmed down a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd you too, Mikazuki, Leaf, good job. There weren\u2019t any problems, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, nothing worth mentioning. But after the battle, my body suddenly started to feel strangely light, so, does Master know what happened to me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMe tooo. My body is somehow overflowing with pooower. What is thiiis?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Sakura and Mio fought while riding on the two of them, Mikazuki and Leaf were naturally also treated as participants in this battle. However, they seemed to be unaccustomed to the idea of a rapid increase in one\u2019s status caused by gaining multiple levels at once, and got confused by it. Well, we defeated quite a number of dragons this time, and even the core members\u2019 levels increased considerably, so it\u2019s only natural for Blue, Leaf and Mikazuki, who participated as our mounts, to level up by a lot as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, when I think about it, so have I. I\u2019m sure Master must have done something…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAhh, I see…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mikazuki, who had already seen a fraction of my power before, seemed to have understood something from Blue\u2019s words, but Leaf, who\u2019s a newer addition to our group, apparently didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh? It looks like you have already become accustomed to Master\u2019s way of doing things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, it\u2019s Jin-kun after all…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sera, Sakura, shouldn\u2019t you have answered their question instead…?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…That\u2019s just the effect of you girls levelling up, right? I\u2019m sure someone will be able to explain it to you in detail later. Right now, we should return to the Dragon Newts’ Hidden Area. We wouldn’t want to keep the Chieftain and the others waiting, now that the dragon horde has been dealt with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, we all headed towards the Chieftain\u2019s Mansion in the centre of the Dragon Newts’ Hidden Area. Well, to be more precise, we were actually headed to the Gate of the Ox, the Dragon\u2019s Gate opposite from the destroyed Gate of the Goat, behind it, since that\u2019s where most of the dragon newts were gathered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After flying for a while, the Gate of the Ox came into view. Incidentally, since there were many outsiders present, I decided against using \u2018Portal\u2019 this time around, just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOhh, you are safe!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain came out of the group of dragon newts, and exclaimed in relief when he saw us return. Now that I think about it, both he and Elle have a similarly old-fashioned way of speaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L: How cruel! Do not put me on the same level as this old geezer!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: …<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

L: I apologise for bothering you…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI did not think you would really be able to defeat all those dragons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI told you, didn\u2019t I? That I would slay the dragon horde. I never go back on my word-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow dare you! How dare you do that to Akatsuki!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I was talking with the Chieftain, a vaguely familiar-looking old woman came out from among the dragon newts. ……Ahh, it\u2019s that old woman from damn maggot\u2019s branch family. I totally forgot about her, given the excitement of the battle that followed. She tried to grab me, but the dragon newts around her restrained her. It seems that the Chieftain had already relayed damn maggot\u2019s actions leading to his death to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have already told you! Akatsuki destroyed the Dragon\u2019s Gate, which almost led to the destruction of the entire Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area! Even if he had not died to the dragons, he would still have been executed for it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAkatsuki was clearly set up by those humans! Even the destruction of the Dragon\u2019s Gate must have been their work, and they simply blamed Akatsuki for it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI saw it all happen!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChief also thought poorly of Akatsuki! That doesn\u2019t prove anything!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaah… It seems nothing I say is going to make a difference right now… Take her away…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain sighed resignedly at the old woman, who clearly wasn\u2019t going to listen. Like he said, she would have likely twisted anything he said, and blamed it on us instead. With the Chieftain’s hand gesture, the dragon newts holding the old woman took their leave, dragging her away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet go of me! I\u2019m not done here! Who do you think I am!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took my eyes off the fading old woman and faced the Chieftain again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease control your people better…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy apologies. She did not react this way when I explained things to her earlier, so I let my guard down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…Well, it\u2019s fine. As you can see, all the dragons have been eliminated, so there shouldn\u2019t be any problem with everyone returning to the village now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight… Then, I guess we should head back for the time being…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain answered briefly, before instructing everyone to return home. Still, they all looked worried, as they departed towards the village. I guess it\u2019s only natural, considering their future prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain himself was going to stay at the Gate of the Ox and oversee things until everyone left, so I decided to stay as well. There were some things I wanted to talk to him about anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, what will the Dragon Newts do next?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I asked the Chieftain once most of his people had left the Gate of the Ox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell… The barrier protecting the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area has been broken, and even if all the dragons in the surrounding area have been subjugated for now, new ones are bound to gather with time. This place is no longer a safe haven for dragon newts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon Forest surrounding the Hidden Area wasn\u2019t originally inhabited by dragons, but rather, came to be as a result of the Hidden Area\u2019s existence. And if dragons will always gather where there are dragon newts, then killing them will always be only a temporary solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are three options left for us now. The first, and the most reliable one, would be to ask you, who have the power to defeat dragons, to permanently reside in the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area, and have you protect it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyu~! Too selfish~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dora, who was riding on my shoulders, got angry at the Chieftain for trying to push everything onto us again. The Chieftain immediately nodded and continued talking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course, I do not expect you to do us this favour. It is far too much to ask of you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPretty much. Considering our current goal of travelling around the world, we don\u2019t intend to settle down in any one place for the time being. And protecting my subordinates is one thing, but asking us to spend the rest of our lives here, and even guard the entire Hidden Area while we\u2019re at it, is a bit too much…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it\u2019s just a one-time aid, then that\u2019s fine, but if you ask me to devote my entire life to protecting you, then that\u2019s not really something I\u2019d be interested in doing. At that point, I\u2019d rather just release everyone\u2019s taming and abandon you altogether. …Then again, If you ask me to \u2018train you to be able to defend the Hidden Area\u2019 instead, then that might actually work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, Dora (on my shoulders) has not once asked me for help or assistance for the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area. Just how uninterested in this place are you really…?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight, there is also the problem of it likely being a lifelong assignment… As for the other options, one would be to defeat dragons ourselves whenever they come, while the other would be to abandon the Hidden Area, and keep moving, so that they do not catch up with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain offered two more ideas, but immediately shook his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut honestly, neither one of these is realistic. Stay here? When a single high-ranked dragon is enough to kill us all, like it almost happened the other day? Keep moving? Can we really endure the life of constantly being on the run, with no end in sight, after being cooped up for so long?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he pointed out, neither of these options would mean a bright future for the Dragon Newts. Well, I might actually have some good news for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor what it\u2019s worth, you don\u2019t have to leave the Hidden Area. The barrier has already been restored.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c……Huh!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain became dumbfounded, with his mouth wide open. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To fill you in, before coming here, I became the dungeon master again, and repaired the barrier section destroyed by damn maggot. We already had a \u2018Portal\u2019 set up next to the dungeon core, so it only took a moment to get there. In addition, I also restored all the other functions that became disabled once the Dragon\u2019s Gate was destroyed. I know, I know. I did say I wasn\u2019t going to become the Hidden Area\u2019s dungeon master, but they didn\u2019t really leave me with much choice, given the circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome time after we returned inside, the barrier was restored and we weren\u2019t able to go out again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not a lie, mind you. …I just omitted the part about us being the ones who restored it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDid something happen at the Sealed Cavern…?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heck!? This place\u2019s dungeon is called \u2018the Sealed Cavern\u2019? What a pointlessly cool name. Talk about a cheeky dungeon, …even though it was poorly designed and barely had any monsters in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cN-no way, did you…!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, whatever do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess the Chieftain is not so foolish as to think we had nothing to do with this. Well, even if I keep pretending I don\u2019t know anything, it probably won\u2019t have much effect at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…I thought I would not be surprised by you any more, but I guess I was still being naive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy the way, Chieftain, how much do you actually know about the cavern?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I asked the astonished Chieftain. My knowledge about the Hidden Area\u2019s dungeon comes from Alta and the dungeon core itself, so I wondered how much information the Dragon Newts actually have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is a legend about it, that has been passed down from generation to generation, and only to each generation\u2019s chieftain. According to it, the cavern\u2019s entrance will open once there are less than a hundred dragon newts left, and if you obtain the orb inside, you may be able to fix the barrier. …But I thought it was a lost cause, since it is also said that if a Dragon\u2019s Gate were ever to be destroyed, the condition for the cavern opening would no longer apply.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There don\u2019t seem to be any mistakes or omissions in this legend, but if the Chieftain knows this much, then is he also aware of the original dungeon master\u2019s grand design?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…However, the orb can only be used by the first person who touches it, and it is said that they will be able to control everything within the Hidden Area… In other words, you have now taken full control of the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area, have you not?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…Well, there\u2019s not much point in hiding it any more. As you\u2019ve deduced, I\u2019ve successfully conquered the Hidden Area. Do you have a problem with that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not the type to avoid the topic with half-hearted ambiguous answers, so I straight up declared my conquest to the Chieftain instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, I would not say it is a bad thing per se. There already was no future for the Dragon Newts without your help, so, in a way, it is not so different from my first proposal to have you protect the Hidden Area. …Still, I do have to ask. What is it that you, who has now become the true ruler of the Hidden Area, and has more power than me, its chieftain, truly desire?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I shared my wish with the Chieftain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once we had finished talking, we all returned to the Hidden Area’s village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain gathered all the dragon newts and announced that the barrier had been restored by us. However, he did not disclose the means by which we\u2019d done it, nor the fact that I was now the true ruler of the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people were just happy that the barrier had been restored, but some of the more perceptive ones still had a complicated look on their faces, as if aware of the meaning behind it. Interestingly, they were all among the dragon newts I hadn’t tamed. I guess it’s only fitting that they would be able to see through our attempts at taming them with food as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, the Chieftain made a follow-up announcement about some of the Hidden Area\u2019s rules being revised. Naturally, most dragon newts were against this, but their protests were quickly silenced by the Chieftain\u2019s following words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I told you that if we do not change the rules, the barrier will be broken again, could you still say the same thing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, I\u2019ve already instructed him to use the threat of me tearing down the barrier with my authority as the dungeon master against them. Having been left with no other choice, the Hidden Area\u2019s residents reluctantly agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next on the agenda was the punishment for the ones responsible for the destruction of the Dragon\u2019s Gate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain and both the gatekeepers named damn maggot as the one responsible, but with his death already made public, it was the old woman and her faction’s members who ended up being blamed for it. At first, they made an excuse that it was damn maggot alone who did it, but since not one of them did anything to stop him, and the old woman even interfered with our own attempt by blocking our way with her own body, they were all found guilty of aiding him in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, they continued to argue in an unseemly and selfish manner, and in the end, they chose to completely disassociate themselves from the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area. Leaf later told me that it was quite an unsightly argument. …Oh, I knew it was going to be unpleasant, so I left the scene beforehand. Ignoring the Chieftain\u2019s words that they will not be severely punished for this, they took some time to prepare, before leaving through the Gate of the Ox. (ED: The one leading in the direction opposite from Narnka Kingdom where Jin entered from)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, given how they were bound to settle somewhere sooner or later, it was safe to say that the secret of the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area\u2019s existence was now a thing of the past. As such, I agreed to the Chieftain\u2019s request to disable the transfer function of the Dragon\u2019s Gates. With this, the old woman\u2019s group will no longer be able to return to the Hidden Area. We can come and go with \u2018Portal\u2019, so it doesn\u2019t matter to us though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that topic, I also told the Chieftain about \u2018Portal\u2019. Of course, I didn\u2019t tell him about all of our special powers, just about that one spell, …and then I had him announce it to the public. And with that, I am now free to take the dragon newts I have tamed, outside of the Hidden Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the reason why the Chieftain agreed to this, it\u2019s because it no longer puts the Hidden Area’s safety at risk. …Well, it\u2019s three reasons combined, to be exact. The first one is that the secret is already out, with the old woman\u2019s group now outside of the Hidden Area. The second is that, with the Dragon\u2019s Gates\u2019 transfer function now turned off, no one can enter the Hidden Area, except through \u201cPortal\u201d, any more, even if they do have a dragon newt with them. And the third one is that I, the ruler of the Dragon Newt\u2019s Hidden Area, am their master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But won\u2019t they be attacked by dragons the moment they step outside? Well, that\u2019s actually not a problem as it turns out. To begin with, dragons are not able to sense dragon newts\u2019 exact location. According to the Ancestral God-Dragon, Elle, they are only able to sense their approximate location whenever they use high-level \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019, so, in other words, even if they do go outside, there\u2019s no problem as long as they don\u2019t use it. Of course, if they randomly happen to run into a dragon, they will still be attacked, even so…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, there is nothing stopping me from taking my monster followers outside of the Hidden Area any more. On the contrary, some additional people asked to be tamed by me, once they had learned that they\u2019ll be able to go outside if they do. Of course, I can\u2019t just suddenly let them loose in the middle of a human city, so they will have to learn some human common sense from the maids first, but still, if it goes well, we might even be able to create a squad of dragon knights riding on dragon newts in the future, so I\u2019m actually looking forward to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then, there was \u2018What to do about the next chieftain?\u2019, the most difficult question, in a sense. For now, the selection was put on hold, and the Chieftain will continue to manage the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area as its (official) ruler. Of course, the next chieftain will have to be chosen at some point, but with dragon newts being a pretty long-lived race, they aren\u2019t really good at dealing with sudden changes. And with so many things changing all at once this time around, it will probably be some time before they come around to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that topic, Dora, Blue, and Leaf have all had their positions as chieftain candidates restored. After all, they aren\u2019t monster followers of some random human, but of me, the current ruler of the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area, so, in a sense, they are now even more suitable to be candidates for the next chieftain, given how the position itself is a substitute for the Hidden Area\u2019s dungeon master to begin with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue\u2019s right to enter the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area has also been restored. The official story seems to be that she was pardoned in view of her contributions in defeating the dragon horde, however, now that she became Blue, she no longer has any interest in becoming the next chieftain, and neither do Dora and Leaf, who didn\u2019t want the position in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the rules, someone other than the three of them might become the next chieftain, but I\u2019ll leave that part for the Dragon Newts to decide. I might be the actual ruler of the Hidden Area, but it doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m going to deal with all the troublesome aspects of it, …or disregard the Dragon Newts\u2019 opinion on that topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the Chieftain\u2019s speech was over, we decided to finally finish our preparations for leaving the Hidden Area. We also gathered the first group of dragon newts we\u2019ll be taking with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow then, we haven\u2019t forgotten anything, right? …Well, even if we did, we can just come back for it anytime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTravelling with Master really doesn’t feel like you\u2019re actually travelling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mio said what was already on everyone\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right… I think it\u2019s even more comfortable than travelling in our original world, if you\u2019re not very good at it… I\u2019ve never travelled with friends or family in our original world… I didn\u2019t have any friends to begin with…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You never know where Sakura\u2019s emotional landmines may be buried. Mio froze, not knowing what to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, I\u2019m sorry… I have friends in this world, so it\u2019s okay… Like Sakuya-chan and Cattleya-chan…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I already knew Sakura and Sakuya were friends, and Sakuya and Cattleya seem to be fellow foodies, so, is that the connection there? Or, maybe it\u2019s just because the three of them are my only subordinates, and not slaves or monster followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStill, Sakura-sama\u2019s friends are both royalty, right? No, wait, what\u2019s even more unusual is that they are both Master\u2019s subordinates…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s Jin-sama, after all. It\u2019s only natural that he would rule over royalty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t really retort to that, can I? Since I already have a not insignificant number of royals under my command (in the double digits). (ED: Counting the royal family of Narnka Kingdom, see chapter 72)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahh, I\u2019ve also added 3 more, with Blue, Leaf, and the Ancestral God-Dragon, Elle, in the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area, since they are all royals in a sense. (ED: Dora has a title of \u2018Dragon Newts\u2019 Imperial Princess\u2019, so the other two are technically also princesses)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

L: Am I a royal now? I did not have any authority to command anyone…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come to think of it… Then, it\u2019s only two royals, counting Blue and Leaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L: The fact that thou canst<\/em> say \u201conly two\u201d, is what maketh Master so frightening.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, I am well aware that I\u2019m outside of the norm in various ways. Lately, it\u2019s even become normal for royals to be under my command… Anyway, now that all the preparations are done, it\u2019s finally time to go home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen, Chieftain, I\u2019m leaving the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area in your hands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMmm, you can leave it to me. If there are any problems I will contact you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, please do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter how much control I may have over the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area, I still don\u2019t intend to live here all year around. Basically, I\u2019m just going to have the Chieftain act as its rules, same as before. The Chieftain himself was not tamed by me, but there are a number of people under my command in the Hidden Area, so he should be able to contact me through them if need be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, it seems that the maids are also planning to have several people stationed in the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area at all times. When I asked them why, I was told that it was simply unthinkable to leave such a vast area out of the maids\u2019 network. …I didn\u2019t quite follow what they were talking about, so I asked about it in detail, and they explained that the maids have adopted a system where at least two maids are to be stationed (on a rotation) in all lands and bases under my control. They even already had people at the royal castles of Kastal Queendom and Estia Kingdom… When the heck did that all happen…?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyu, Kyui Kyui~ Grandpa, bye bye~<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMmm, be well, Shirayuki, or rather, Dora.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyu! Un!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the Chieftain and Dora said their goodbyes, we all transferred to the Kastal mansion via \u2018Portal\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWelcome home, Master.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWelcome home.\u201d x30<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon my return, I was greeted by Lucia dressed in her usual neat maid uniform, and about 30 maids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, I\u2019m back. These people are the dragon newts I told you about earlier. Make sure you educate them well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes. Please leave it to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these words, she guided the dragon newts who came with us away. Perhaps because it was their first time outside of the Hidden Area, they were all looking around like country folk on their first visit to a big city. …Well, they pretty much are, but still…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will be taught human common sense first, and after that, we will teach them according to their individual strengths. It looks like more than half of them are going to be trained as cooks. Of course, Blue, Leaf, and Mikazuki also need to be taught human common sense, so this is where we part ways for now. Blue seemed reluctant to leave my side, but ultimately, she gave up and trudged off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After enjoying a dinner prepared by the maids, and taking a long bath for the first time in a while, it was finally time for the long awaited talk about my recent gains. I started by briefly explaining to everyone about the titled skill, the special powers, and the weapon upgrade I had acquired after the battle against the dragon horde, and the subsequent fight with the Ancestral God-Dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, basically, I have a new weapon, a new skill, and three new special powers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd it is also the reason why I can manifest in this state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the brief explanation, I manifested Elle, the Ancestral God-Dragon. Everyone was pretty surprised at the sight of a dragon (in her beautiful girl form) suddenly emerging from my body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs usual, Master\u2019s special powers are off the charts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMuu! Dora hates dragons!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mio smiled wryly as per usual, while Dora showed her discontent at seeing Elle. Elle also understood the reason for that, so she looked to me for help with a troubled look on her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat shall I do, Master?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDora, she\u2019s my familiar now. She won\u2019t do anything bad to you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat is correct. I am Master\u2019s property. I no longer have any hostility towards dragon newts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMuu… Got it, if Master says so, Dora is okay with it…\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dora looked troubled for a while, but finally decided to put up with it for my sake. Well, you can\u2019t just drop a deep-rooted mental aversion, now can you, so that should be enough for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere, there. Dora is a good girl, isn\u2019t she~?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEhehehe~\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saying that, I patted Dora\u2019s head, making the grumpy look on her face disappear, and be replaced by a big smile. So cute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, Jin-sama can now use the \u2018Complete Resistance\u2019 skill of the Ancestral God-Dragon, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, that\u2019s right. I can also use \u2018Dragon Body\u2019, \u2018Dragon Breath\u2019, and \u2018Ancestral Dragon Arts\u2019. What about it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could pretty much guess what Maria\u2019s reason for bringing up \u2018Complete Resistance\u2019 was though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, Jin-sama will be much safer now, right? That\u2019s good to hear…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs expected of Maria-san…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I and Sera had already guessed, it was about my personal safety again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, there\u2019s no doubt that \u2018Complete Resistance\u2019 was the biggest hit among the skills I had acquired this time around. After all, it completely nullifies abnormal status conditions. If this were a game, it would be a one-of-a-kind one-time-use item, or one that can only be obtained after beating the game. When someone strong loses to someone weaker, it\u2019s usually due to surprise, carelessness, or abnormal status conditions, so when you consider that it can practically erase one of these possibilities, then there\u2019s no doubt that it\u2019s a powerful skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut, it\u2019s a good thing that Jin-kun will be safer, right…?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course. Master can do some pretty ridiculous things without ever batting an eyelid, so it does not hurt for him to have some extra resistance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExactly. If you ask me who should have increased resistance, I\u2019d definitely choose Master, ten out of ten times.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaster is Invincible~!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that it\u2019s unanimously a skill I should have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut still, forcibly activating a skill that is normally unusable, with a special power, sounds a lot like a video game exploit.\u201d (ED: When you exploit a bug, or use an in-game system in a way that wasn\u2019t intended by the game’s developer, to make things that shouldn\u2019t usually be possible, happen)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thought so too. Plus, in games, cheats like that can often literally break the game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Mio and I keep thinking in video game-related terms. On that topic, I know of a few bugs and glitches that let you equip weapons you shouldn\u2019t normally be able to use, but they can sometimes make the entire game freeze as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReally…? I\u2019m not really familiar with things like that…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sakura is also an otherworlder, and she had played video games before, but she didn\u2019t seem to follow our cheat talk. I guess she was honest even when playing video games. I wish that my friend who liked to tamper with the games\u2019 code during beta testing could learn from her. (ED: Um, he saved you by doing it, on at least one occasion. See \u2018Side Story 5 – The Second Scene of the Former World\u2019)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right. If this world were a game, Master\u2019s surroundings would be a hotbed of bugs and glitches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI guess so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you put it that way, then what about Sakura\u2019s \u2018Magic Creation\u2019 that can literally create new magic spells…? We\u2019re talking adding new magic to a game it wasn\u2019t designed for, without asking anyone\u2019s permission. It\u2019s completely remaking the game itself, isn\u2019t it? I think that\u2019s way more out there than some innocent exploits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, there would likely be no end to the discussion about special powers, so let\u2019s just leave it at that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen, let\u2019s talk about the \u2018final trials\u2019 next. When I stabbed Elle, my Soul Blade – Incomplete was upgraded, and I got a title and a skill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weapon was super-enhanced, the skill is pretty much a dead skill, and the title is just an extra. …In fact, only the weapon is of any use to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf Jin-sama\u2019s weapon has become stronger, then I have no complaints.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat may be so, Maria-chan, but that\u2019s not the point here. It\u2019s godly. Godly! That\u2019s the second rank from the top in rarity!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria had no further comment, but Mio was all giddy about it. Of course, I won\u2019t deny I shared her feelings on the topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy guess is that, once it becomes of the highest rarity, Genesis, the \u2018Incomplete\u2019 part will change to \u2018Complete.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wonder if it will go higher if you stab Elle-chan again…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cP-please do not do that! I have never heard of these \u2018final trials\u2019, but given that it hath \u2018final\u2019 in its name, I think it is only valid once!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elle became understandably distressed by Mio\u2019s random comment. I also didn\u2019t think the same thing would happen again, even if I did stab her one more time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNevertheless, it would be a shame for \u2018Transcendence\u2019 to become a dead skill, so I hope Maria can do it the next time we get a chance. She can use my Heroic Soul Blade – Incomplete at that time. …Ah, but it\u2019s restricted to me now, so she won\u2019t be able to use its effects…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, it\u2019s Maria who earns skill points the fastest in our group, so I can\u2019t even begin to imagine how fast it would be like if she got the bonus from \u2018Transcendence\u2019 on top of that. But then again, Heroic Soul Blade – Incomplete is now restricted to only me, so it would be just a blunt sword in her hands. It\u2019s a bit of a mixed bag, this thing. Or was it a different saying?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease leave it to me! I just need to hold Heroic Soul Blade – Incomplete while I beat the final trial, right? Since Jin-sama is good at hand-to-hand combat, I also wasn\u2019t slacking in training myself in it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria said confidently, but let\u2019s just try to imagine it for a moment. The scene of a 12-year-old girl punching away at a tremendously intimidating dragon (Elle) while holding a sword in her other hand. It’s surreal to say the least. And the biggest problem is that, except for the 12-year-old girl part, it\u2019s pretty much what I did as well. What the heck are you doing, me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen, I\u2019ll leave it to you at that time, but you don\u2019t have to force yourself to carry it, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, it\u2019s fine! Please leave it to me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I looked into Maria\u2019s eyes, only to see that she was dead serious. Well, there was my sword at stake, after all… (TL: He\u2019s making a joke here. One of the kanji for serious<\/em>(\u771f\u5263)<\/em> is<\/em> sword(\u5263))<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been a while since I used such a lame pun…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After we finished talking about my recent gains, we all moved to Estia\u2019s dungeon’s 53rd floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen, Tamo-san, go ahead and absorb these.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saying that, I took out a mountain of dragon carcasses that we had defeated in the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area from the \u2018Inventory\u2019. Of course, I intended for Tamo-san to absorb them in order to strengthen itself. After all, we killed so many of them this time around, there were plenty left, even after I absorbed one of each kind. As a side note, I was unable to collect most of the dragon carcasses during the battle with the dragon horde, but I collected them all at once once I became the dungeon master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Got… it…<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After muttering just that, Tamo-san split, before starting to absorb the dragon carcasses, as it was told. Tamo-san\u2019s \u2018Division\u2019 skill levelled up, so it could now split into 16 copies, 14 of which were currently here. As each one of them could absorb a whole dragon carcass at a time, the huge pile disappeared in the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a hell of a sight. Somehow, it is different from the slimes that I know of…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTamo-san is Master\u2019s hidden weapon. In fact, there\u2019s usually one hidden in his pocket.\u201d (TL:\u61d0\u5200 means a small blade that you can carry in your pocket, like a dagger, but it can also mean a right-hand-man. The kanji are literally pocket (\u61d0) and sword (\u5200), hence the joke about Tamo-san often being in his literal pocket)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s true. It\u2019s a first-class secret security force, and a purveyor to multiple royal families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mio and Sera responded to the astonished Elle\u2019s comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two Tamo-sans that aren\u2019t currently here are in the pockets of Sakuya and Cattleya, so that must be what Sera meant by \u2018purveyor to multiple royal families\u2019. Sakuya and Cattleya are both royalty, which unfortunately means that they have many enemies. However, since they are not very good at fighting, no amount of royal guards could keep them entirely safe, which is why I decided to lend them a Tamo-san each, to act as their personal guards. …Not that I think they would ever need them, with Alta around, but you know. Just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After absorbing all the dragons, the Tamo-sans gathered in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHm? What is it now?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLooks like they are sharing information about the carcasses they\u2019ve absorbed, so that each one of them can \u2018Mimic\u2019 each type of dragon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt really is a mysterious ecology… How can they even do that…?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sakura, I think you should stop taking Tamo-san\u2019s ecology so seriously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tamo-sans combined and became one giant Tamo-san, before splitting into 14 copies once again. What\u2019s strange is that that\u2019s all it took for them to share their \u2018Mimic\u2019 options. Incidentally, this method can only be used among copies of one individual, so if you try to catch and mix in some other metamorphic slimes, they will just be rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, the Tamo-sans mimicked the dragons as I instructed. For the time being, I had them transform into dragons with pompous names like Fire God-Dragon, Water God -Dragon, Earth God-Dragon, and Wind God-Dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDora, do you feel any disgust?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“No~ It’s okay~<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen, you can use these dragon forms from now on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmm, she showed aversion to Elle in her beautiful girl form, but not to Tamo-sans using \u2018Mimic\u2019 to change into dragons? How mysterious. By the way, If Dora were to dislike Tamo-san\u2019s dragon forms, I would have just forbidden it from using them in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlright, good job. Please return to your usual posts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Okay…<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After having a quick admiration of Tamo-san\u2019s new dragon forms, I told it to return to its regular duties. Well, one of them is still here. Its purpose? It\u2019s my escort, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning to the mansion, I was about to go to bed when a big problem arose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDora is Master\u2019s pet, so Dora sleeps with Master!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am Master\u2019s mount! I want to be with him when he sleeps!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it is only natural for a familiar to be with her master.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, it was a turf war between Dora the pet, Blue the mount, and Elle the familiar, who all wanted to sleep in the same room with me. Setting aside Dora, who I often sleep with, I was surprised when the other two requested it as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDora won\u2019t give up Dora’s position as Master’s hug pillow~!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKuh, I can not do anything about that. But, Blue, thou art a mount art thou not? Then shouldst thou not sleep in lodgings appropriate for thine position?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWha-!? You\u2019re telling me to sleep in a stable!? Don\u2019t joke with me! You\u2019re the one in the way here! Just unmanifest yourself and that\u2019s that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI definitely do not wish for that! Master told me I could manifest in the mansion at all times! I want to do it even when I sleep!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately (or unfortunately), my bed is pretty large, so, even excluding Dora, it can easily accommodate at least one more person. As such, the big question now was whether it should be Blue the mount, or Elle the familiar who takes that spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, they weren\u2019t as much fighting, as they were arguing, trying to establish a pecking order within our group, with me at its head. What can I say, it\u2019s a very animal-like way of thinking. What\u2019s more, their individual strength was entirely irrelevant in this case, as all that really mattered was which one of them I liked more. And I guess the right to sleep beside me was somehow supposed to be proof of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaster, please decide! Who will sleep in the bed with you, me or this dragon!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight thou art. No matter how much these mistresses fight, it is Master who should decide in the end! Then, let us settle this once and for all!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, it came to this in the end. I am the one who decides. And the answer was obvious from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, I allowed you to sleep in the same room, but I never said anything about letting you sleep in the same bed with me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWha-!?\u201d x2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two of them exclaimed in unison. I can\u2019t believe they reacted in the exact same way. Wouldn’t you say they actually get along really well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPets aside, it\u2019s not like I need to sleep in the same bed with a mount, or a familiar, right? If you want to sleep in this room, go lay out some futons in the corner, or bring in small beds for yourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dora\u2019s position in my bed is as a \u2018hug pillow\u2019. In other words, she\u2019s part of the bedding. She isn\u2019t there because I want to have a pretty girl in my bed. What I care about is whether or not she can contribute to my good sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUuu… A mount can\u2019t win against a pet, is it…? Being Master\u2019s partner in battle is nice, but I wanted some love too…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKuh, I have miscalculated. I thought that, since thou hadst me take on the form of a girl, thou mightst be into that kind of thing, but I did not realise that thou seriously just seest me as a familiar. My goal was to get on Master\u2019s good side, and continue to manifest at all times, but…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you listen carefully, it sounds like the two had slightly different aims. Well, given how they are approaching it from different standpoints, as a mount, and as a familiar, I guess it\u2019s only natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen, how about the two of you go and sleep somewhere else? If you want, I’m sure we can spare a room for each of you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do not want that!\u201d x2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, the two of them said the exact same line. As I thought, they really do get along. Well, I\u2019m not going to kick them out at this time of night, so I will have to let them sleep here today anyway…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: If Master asks a maid to do something, she will do anything, regardless of what time it is.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, that’s why it\u2019s hard to ask believer maids for help. Whenever I casually ask them for something, things tend to go out of hand…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, the two of them laid out futons inside my room and decided to sleep there. I visited the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area, so in a way it\u2019s only natural, but I feel like the ratio of dragons and dragon newts around me has skyrocketed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…Well, it’s fine, I guess.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author\u2019s Note: Next week I\u2019ll take a break from the main story, and the week after that, I\u2019ll post the list of characters for Part 5 (more than half of them are dragons) and an extra chapter (it\u2019s pretty long, but not to the extreme). Part 6 will be updated every Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
