Chapter 76 \u2013 The Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area and The Chieftain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author\u2019s Note: Dora\u2019s homeland is finally here. Various things will come to light. Some that have already been foreshadowed (kind of), and some that I totally forgot to mention before (sorry about that).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The moment we stepped onto the Dragons\u2019 Gate to start the transfer, the scenery in front of us changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, what appeared isn\u2019t much different from the underground ruins. If there is a difference, it\u2019s that, unlike in the cave, there\u2019s sunlight falling inside, and the place is much better maintained. I couldn\u2019t tell back in the cave, since there were earthen walls surrounding the place, but the temple itself barely has any walls, and you can see the outside from the very centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat the heck!? Intruders!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho are you!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we could even say anything, the man and woman pair in the room cried out, both of them seriously startled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man looks strong and muscular, and gives off a vibe of a seasoned warrior, while the woman is tall and has a well-toned body, which makes her look like an experienced hunter with her sharp eyes. I wonder if these two are supposed to be the gatekeepers, since they\u2019re standing in front of the Dragons\u2019 Gate and all\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, both of them are completely naked. To the point where it looks like their natural state of being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come to think about it, Dora doesn\u2019t shy away from being naked either. The two of them are obviously Dragon Newts, so maybe it\u2019s not just Dora, but all Dragon Newts who don\u2019t mind being naked all the time\u2026 Are they a nude tribe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKya!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUga!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sakura and Mio both shrieked and looked away. That\u2019s not a very maiden-like scream you\u2019ve got there, Mio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWait! You are human!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cM-moreover, Isn\u2019t that Shirayuki-sama with you!? Did you go outside!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat!? When the heck did that happen!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the man showed wariness towards us, the woman addressed Dora instead, and even called her \u2018Shirayuki\u2019. Perhaps, that\u2019s Dora\u2019s original name? Well, not that it matters any more. Her name is \u2018Dora\u2019 now. See? It even says so in her status. (ED: It\u2019s not written in kanji, but it\u2019s a homonym for \u2018White Snow\u2019)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDora, do you know these people?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyui~. Don\u2019t know them~.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman acted like she knew Dora, but Dora herself doesn\u2019t seem to recognize her, \u2026or maybe she just doesn\u2019t remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, Dora usually speaks only via telepathy, but it seems that all Dragon Newts in the Hidden Area actually speak in Draconic language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cN-no way. We\u2019ve even met twice before\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwo times is not that many, you know\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman got dispirited, looking as if the world had come to an end. Still, just as Mio pointed out, you can\u2019t expect a five-year-old to remember someone whom they\u2019ve only met twice, you know. Even I probably wouldn\u2019t remember someone like that, unless they left a strong enough impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not the point, they are intruders! You people! How on earth did you get here!? Why did you enter the Hidden Area!? And while you\u2019re at it, you can also explain why Shirayuki-sama is with you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man declared in a loud voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess it\u2019s only natural to be wary when someone from another race (especially, if it\u2019s a large group of people) suddenly invades the place where you\u2019ve been hiding, together with a child who is supposed to have gone missing. Well, we originally came here to explain things to them, so I don\u2019t really mind. Even if they were to suddenly attack us, I\u2019d just parry them lightly. Well\u2026 lightly-ish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs for how we got here, we used the Dragons\u2019 Gate in Narnka Kingdom, and if I had to say why, we came to visit Dora\u2019s\u2026 Shirayuki\u2019s home town.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, if it\u2019s just a visit\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNevertheless, you mustn\u2019t address Shirayuki-sama so informally! Don\u2019t forget the \u2018-sama\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman must have a lot of respect for Dora, given how she complained about me addressing her without honorifics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, wouldn\u2019t it be pretty weird if I addressed my own pet using honorifics?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Jin-kun\u2019s mind, Dora is totally a pet\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyu, Kyui~! If Dora can be with Master, Dora is happy to be a pet~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sakura smiled wryly, but Dora confirmed her position as my pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cW-w-what\u2026!? Shirayuki-sama being someone\u2019s pet!? And who is \u2018Dora\u2019\u2026? No way! Did you let that human tame you, Shirayuki-sama!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be stupid! There\u2019s no way a proud member of the Dragon Emperor\u2019s family would wag their tail in front of a mere human! It\u2019s either a mistake, or\u2026 he must have deceived Shirayuki-sama somehow!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, that certainly sounds much more plausible\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man\u2019s initial guess was actually correct, but the woman denied it, and in the end she managed to persuade him, causing the pair to turn hostile towards us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyu, Kyu! If you\u2019re mean to Master, Dora will fight you!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I pondered how to respond, Dora stepped in front of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a side note, when the pair turned hostile, Maria instantly reached for her swords, but she took her hands back after a moment. Maybe she decided to let Dora handle this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSh-shirayuki-sama\u2026 Why are you protecting a human!? Why did Shirayuki-sama bring strangers to the Hidden Area in the first place!? Did you forget the rules of our clan!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the Dragon Newts\u2019 point of view, it must have been no good to bring humans to the Hidden Area, but I\u2019ve never heard a thing about it from Dora herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSurely, she must have been deceived or even threatened by that person. How dare you do such a thing to Shirayuki-sama!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman seems to admire Dora a lot, even if the person in question doesn\u2019t seem to remember her\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyui~? Which rule~?<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u201dHuh?\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pair got stunned. It looks like Dora either didn\u2019t know, or totally forgot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDragon Newts\u2019 Rule No. 53: No unrelated people are allowed to enter the Hidden Area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she came to her senses, the woman explained, but Dora just tilted her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyu~? Kyukyu~. 53~? Dora only knows 51 rules~.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u201dWhat!?\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou should have taught her better!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn\u2019t help but retort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it sounds like a pretty important rule, the number is far from 1. If she went missing, before being taught all the rules, it\u2019s no wonder she doesn\u2019t know. The fault clearly lies with the teacher on this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWait wait wait, what do you mean? Shirayuki-sama didn\u2019t learn rule No. 53? \u2026Then, you don\u2019t know rule No. 52: Keep away from humans; either? What do we do now?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease calm down. I know how you feel, but we shouldn\u2019t jump to conclusions. It\u2019s not something we can decide on by ourselves anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cR-right\u2026 Well then, let me ask you this. Did you come here to fight us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having recovered from his confusion, the man turned back to us and asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, not really. At least, I\u2019m not going to attack you guys unless I\u2019m attacked first. Why would I attack my companion\u2019s home town, that I came to visit in the first place\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cR-right\u2026 I\u2019m sorry, but could I ask you to wait here for a moment?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSure, I don\u2019t mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen, I\u2019ll go call the Chief.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saying that, the woman immediately left the Dragons\u2019 Gate to call their patriarch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, what kind of gatekeepers are you, to take my word at face value, and even leave your post? If you\u2019re thinking \u2018I can handle them on my own\u2019, you\u2019re clearly nothing but foolish\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Now then, since I have some time while I wait, let\u2019s ask Alta about some things I\u2019m curious about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: What would you like to know?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where is the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area actually located?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You mentioned before that it\u2019s protected by a barrier, and one can only enter through a Dragons\u2019 Gate, but it\u2019s not like it can\u2019t be reached from the outside. Well, I guess, in games, such hidden areas are sometimes hidden in subspace\u2026 Still, even then, they are usually connected to somewhere in the main world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After we got transferred, the adjacent area became one I\u2019m unfamiliar with, so I don\u2019t know our current location. I wondered if Alta could tell our relative location, so I thought I\u2019d ask. (ED: The Map can only show the current \u2018area\u2019, and the adjacent ones)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: It is located in the centre of the Dragon Forest, which is uninhabited by humans, and located far north from Kastal and Estia.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon Forest, you say? When I looked at the adjacent region on the map, it was indeed a forest with a large number of dragons displayed. And it wasn\u2019t just a hundred or two either. I didn\u2019t count them because it was too much hassle, but there must have been no less than tens of thousands of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: 53291 dragons, to be exact.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t really mean for you to count them\u2026 Well, it\u2019s definitely not a place that regular people can approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the Dragon Newts live in the Hidden Area and the dragons live in the surrounding Dragon Forest. What kind of relationship do they have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: Most likely a hostile one. All this time, the dragons outside of the Hidden Area have been attacking the barrier. I can\u2019t tell for sure, but given Dora\u2019s previous attitude towards the Flame Dragon (ED: One of the bosses in Estia\u2019s dungeon), they seem to be enemies.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dora seemed to seriously hate that dragon, so I thought that might be the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So does that mean that the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area is a secret place for the Dragon Newts to hide from dragons, and that the barrier is there to keep them out?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: That seems to be the case. Conversely, it is also possible that the Dragon Forest came to be because of the presence of the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t say\u2026 Hopefully we\u2019ll be able to find out more during our stay\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you please tell everyone else about this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: Understood.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

After waiting at the Dragons\u2019 Gate for about 15 minutes, I finally got bored, and decided to pass the time by giving Dora a piggyback ride, putting her on my lap and doing other forms of skinship. The Dragon Newt man watched us with a complicated expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After another 20 minutes a group of more than 10 people led by the woman from before finally arrived. All of them are similarly in their human form, but at least they are properly dressed this time around. \u2026Well, it would be more accurate to call these loincloths, than actual clothes, but I guess it\u2019s better than nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of them are strong-looking men and women, with only a single old man among them. He\u2019s probably the Chieftain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyu, Kyukyu~. Ah, Grandpa~.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, in case you forgot, Dora is an \u2018Imperial Princess\u2019, so it\u2019s only right for the Chieftain, who\u2019s pretty much the Dragon Newts\u2019 equivalent of an Emperor, to be her grandfather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, Shirayuki. Thank god you\u2019re safe. Come, give me a hug like you always do.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyu, Kyui~. No, Dora likes hugging Master more~.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I\u2019m happy to hear that, it kind of makes me feel sorry for the Chieftain when you put it like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWha\u2026 How can that be\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, Chief! Please stay strong!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t give up, Chief\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon Newts tried to encourage the utterly dejected Chieftain. I used that chance to call Sakura and Mio over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMio, Sakura, these new guys are clothed, so you can look now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, they really are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s true\u2026 It\u2019s troublesome to keep your eyes closed all the time\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDid you keep your eyes closed all this time?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looks like they really didn\u2019t want to look at the naked Dragon Newt man. Well, he\u2019s also wearing a loincloth now, so it should be okay \u2026kind of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that topic, let\u2019s take a look at the Chieftain\u2019s status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name: Ryouma<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level: 189<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gender: Male<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Age: 4098<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Race: Dragon Newt (Dragon of Origin)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skills: <Draconic Magic LV6> <Body Strengthening LV10> <Flight LV10><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title: Dragon Newts\u2019 Emperor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ED: His race literally translates as \u2018root dragon\u2019, since he\u2019s supposed to be the precursor of all Dragon Newts, but \u2018the original dragon\u2019 sounds a bit too gangsta\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel like I\u2019ve been seeing a lot of extraordinary statuses lately. For now, let\u2019s go through it point by point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, the name. The Dragon Newts\u2019 names, including Dora\u2019s \u2018Shirayuki\u2019, the Chieftain\u2019s \u2018Ryouma\u2019, and the names of people surrounding him all sound Japanese, and many of them are pretty old-fashioned too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, the age. Suddenly, a ridiculous number appeared. At 4098 years old, he\u2019s by far the oldest person I\u2019ve met so far. By the way, the second contender is only 1291 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The level is okay, I guess. It may seem a bit low, considering his age, but given how he\u2019s been living in hiding all this time, it\u2019s only natural for it not to go up as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next are the skills. Although there aren\u2019t that many, both \u2018Body Strengthening\u2019 and \u2018Flight\u2019 are already maxed-out. However, that\u2019s not the case for \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019, which should be the trump card of the Dragon Emperor\u2019s family. I\u2019ve checked the statuses of a bunch of other people here, but his seems to be the highest at level 6. Dora had \u2018Draconic Magic LV3\u2019 when we first met, but could it be that she\u2019s the abnormal one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: It\u2019s very abnormal. She should be considered as a child prodigy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My little girl is amazing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

After a while, the Chieftain managed to pick himself back up, and spoke in such a dignified manner, you wouldn\u2019t believe his previous exchange with Dora had actually happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry, I\u2019ve shown you something unsightly. I\u2019m Ryouma, the Chieftain of the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not really affiliated with anyone in particular. I\u2019m Jin, a traveller.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m Sakura\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m Maria, Jin-sama\u2019s slave. These two are Mio and Sera.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m Mio.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m Sera.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He introduced himself, so we returned the courtesy. I said I was an unaffiliated traveller, though technically I do belong to the Adventurer\u2019s Guild with my C-Rank title. Still, I haven\u2019t done any adventurer work for a while now. I only took some simple collection requests to keep my rank from falling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood. I\u2019m sorry, but may I ask you some questions?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSure, I don\u2019t mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen, first of all, how did you learn about the Dragons\u2019 Gate and the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area? Did you hear about them from Shirayuki? Can you even understand Shirayuki to begin with?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t give you any details, but I didn\u2019t learn about the Hidden Area from Dora. I can understand her, but I also can\u2019t tell you why.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you are Dora\u2019s relative, I still won\u2019t tell you about the Map and my other abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAren\u2019t you just avoiding the question?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t answer. That\u2019s my answer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, it concerns the safety of the Hidden Area, so I have to ask about it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain looked at me with some blame, but I can\u2019t talk about things I can\u2019t talk about. I will give you a hint though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have a lot of secrets, so there are things I can\u2019t talk about. Please think carefully about how you ask.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI see\u2026 Then, let me rephrase my question. Apart from the people here, how many people know about the Dragons\u2019 Gate and the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently, the Chieftain got my hint, as he changed his question to focus on the things he actually wanted to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnly the people present\u201d, I said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI see. That\u2019s a small relief, I suppose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain relaxed a bit. It looks like the tension of the Dragon Newt men and women behind him has also dropped somewhat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen, for my next question. You just called Shirayuki \u2018Dora\u2019, so, is it true that you tamed her?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right. I\u2019m Dora\u2019s master. Dora?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyu~! That\u2019s right~!<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u201dWhat!?\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dora hugged me as she said that. Some of the Dragon Newts suddenly exclaimed, and the atmosphere became tense again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cH-how is that possible\u2026 My cute Shirayuki\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cH-how dare you! To be so rude to the Princess of the Dragon Emperor\u2019s family! I will crush you here and now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain got dispirited again, while the Dragon Newt man by his side, who seems to be his aide, roared infuriated. He has golden eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair, which makes him look like a foreign movie star. Honestly, he\u2019s handsome enough to play a leading role. Let\u2019s take a look at his status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name: Akatsuki <\/strong>(ED: Homonym for \u2018daybreak\u2019)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level: 81<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gender: Male<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Age: 221<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Race: Dragon Newt (Golden Dragon)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skills: <Draconic Magic LV2> <Body Strengthening LV5> <Flight LV4><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How very subtle\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right! We must kill these human intruders at once!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe must rescue Shirayuki-sama as soon as possible!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few Dragon Newts seemed to agree with the handsome guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou dare to harm Jin-sama\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria muttered, while reaching for her swords. \u2026Her eyes look serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStop that! \u2026They are Shirayuki\u2019s benefactors, and I must reward them for bringing her back home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlus, I\u2019m partially responsible for this, since I didn\u2019t teach her all the rules. I didn\u2019t think Shirayuki would cross the Dragons\u2019 Gate without permission\u2026 I have to teach her better so that it doesn\u2019t happen again in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain tried to calm everyone down, though it looks like he\u2019s mistaken on one key point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOriginally, in accordance with the Dragon Newts\u2019 rules, all humans who enter through the Dragons\u2019 Gate are to be imprisoned for life. However, it\u2019s our fault that Shirayuki didn\u2019t know the rules, and it seems like you didn\u2019t force her to bring you here. Therefore, if you release her and swear not to tell anyone about the Hidden Area, I will give you some treasures and send you back through the Dragons\u2019 Gate. Are there any objections?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m against it, Chief! We shouldn\u2019t make exceptions to the rules! Even if they are Shirayuki-sama\u2019s benefactors, they should still be imprisoned! If we send them back outside, these humans are sure to break their promise!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain suggested a relatively mild punishment, but the handsome guy denied it outright. Looks like he\u2019s vying for the maximum sentence of lifelong confinement in the Dragon Newt\u2019s Hidden Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCalm down. They didn\u2019t come here with malicious intentions, so we can deviate from the rules somewhat. Also, \u2026I\u2019m sorry to say this, but Shirayuki seems to be very fond of him. I can\u2019t really see him as a bad guy. What\u2019s more, Shirayuki came back, so we don\u2019t have to send people outside to look for her any more. Now everything can go back to normal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain decided to defend us, but he\u2019s still gravely mistaken on one thing. I guess I should probably clear it up now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAren\u2019t you two misunderstanding something?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u201dWhat?\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My remark made both the Chieftain and the handsome guy turn towards me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to leave Dora here. She\u2019s my favourite pet\/body pillow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyui~! Yay~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u201dWhat the heck!?\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dora was overjoyed by my declaration, but the Chieftain and the handsome guy both got stunned. Looks like they were both working under the assumption that Dora will stay in the Hidden Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI told you from the beginning that I came to visit Dora\u2019s home town. I never said I came to bring her back home, since this place isn\u2019t her home any more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyui! Dora belongs with Master~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing her back home would mean bringing her to the place where her home is, but Dora\u2019s home is already wherever I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat kind of nonsense are you talking about! This girl, Shirayuki, will eventually succeed me and become the next Chieftain of the Hidden Area! I\u2019m sorry, but such selfishness can never be forgiven!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right! Shirayuki-sama is my bride! She will become the next Chieftain and I will support her! I will not allow a mere human to take her away!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, did Dora\u2019s title of an \u2018Imperial Princess\u2019 actually mean that she\u2019ll become the next Chieftain? Also, what\u2019s all this about the handsome guy taking Dora as his bride\u2026 You and Me, after classes, behind the gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All that aside, there\u2019s actually something I always wanted to say to Dora\u2019s family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen, why didn\u2019t you go look for her outside of the Hidden Area? You must have known she could have gone through the Dragons\u2019 Gate. If you sent someone to search outside, there was a good chance you might have found her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I never saw a single Dragon Newt outside of the Hidden Area before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I first found Dora, I searched the Map for other Dragon Newts to see if anyone was looking for her, but no one ever came. After that, I even asked Alta to report on any Dragon Newts she might find, but the result was always the same. In other words, it\u2019s very likely that they never sent anyone to look for her to begin with. At that point, the option of giving Dora back to them was already off the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, that\u2019s because we have rules that prevent us from coming in contact with humans\u2026 We couldn\u2019t just go outside the Hidden Area\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain said awkwardly. As it turns out, no one has even gone out to look for her\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, basically you\u2019re saying that you prioritised the rules of the Hidden Area over Dora, and abandoned her when she went out. \u2026Well, I\u2019m not saying that\u2019s a bad thing. Everyone has different priorities, but still\u2026 You abandoned her once before, and now that she\u2019s back, you suddenly want things to go back to how they used to be, and even talk about her getting married like nothing has ever happened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was due to Dora\u2019s insufficient education by the Chieftain, that she left the Hidden Area, and it was also the Chieftain who decided not to look for her once she did. It would have been a different story if you searched for her, but couldn\u2019t find her, but If you chose to follow your rules and abandon her instead, you no longer have the right to call yourself her parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I won\u2019t allow that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

After I finished talking, the Chieftain was the first one to speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure it\u2019s pointless to say now that I didn\u2019t mean to abandon her. \u2026When Shirayuki went missing, and I realised that she had likely crossed the Dragons\u2019 Gate and went outside of the Hidden Area, I didn\u2019t send anyone to look for her. \u2026At that point, we all thought that Shirayuki was already lost. \u2026There was even talk about electing another candidate for the next Chieftain\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain seemed to be aware that he had abandoned her, as he said with a face that looked as if he had already given up on her. Listening to his words, most Dragon Newts had equally sad expressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut let me ask you this. Why did you all come here today? You said before that you came to visit Shirayuki\u2019s home town, but since you already knew that we abandoned her, was there really any need to come?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, no, but even if you\u2019re no longer her parent, you are still her former family. I thought you might want to know that she\u2019s safe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as Mio said before we came here, as her current guardian, I should at least notify her next of kin. Of course, I wouldn\u2019t go as far as to specifically look for Dora\u2019s home town, but since we\u2019ve already chanced upon an entrance, we might as well go in and say hello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHer \u2018former family\u2019, you say\u2026 That\u2019s why you\u2019re not \u2018bringing her back home\u2019\u2026 I\u2019d still like to ask Shirayuki about this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyui~? What~?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo you want to stay here, or do you want to follow this person? If you choose the latter, you will never be allowed to enter the Hidden Area again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyu~! Together with Master!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dora answered immediately without even taking a moment to think about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot even a pause\u2026? I guess it can\u2019t be helped\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearing her prompt answer the Chieftain seemed to have made up his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShirayuki, in my name as Ryouma, the Chieftain, I hereby exile you from this Hidden Area. You can never enter it again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyui~. All right~<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing how I had no intention of returning Dora, and neither did they have any right to stop her from leaving, the Chieftain had no choice but to exile Dora to at least try and save some face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHumans. You are likewise prohibited from entering the Hidden Area in the future, and you must swear not to tell anyone about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, I know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We only came to the Hidden Area to notify Dora\u2019s former family, so it doesn\u2019t really matter whether we can\u2019t visit in the future. Of course, I still wanted to do some sightseeing, but there\u2019s little point in doing that when the people here all want us to leave. I guess we should be on our way then. And as for the promise, it\u2019s not like we have anyone to tell about this place to begin with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry about this, but given my position, you left me with no other choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, I know that too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his position as the Chieftain, it\u2019s only obvious for his options to be somewhat limited, and given how we\u2019re pretty much a group of humans who randomly broke into this Hidden Area, I\u2019d say his decision is pretty reasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201cPlease wait, Chief!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as we were about to come to an agreement, the handsome guy, who was standing nearby, barged in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter, Akatsuki?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m still not convinced that we should hand over Shirayuki-sama to these humans!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, we\u2019d already abandoned her, right? Can you still even call it \u2018handing her over\u2019 at this point?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The handsome guy really didn\u2019t want to let go of Dora. \u2026honestly, isn\u2019t it a little bit late for that? Then again, it looks like despite Chieftain\u2019s high position, it\u2019s still pretty hard for everyone else to accept his decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter! Shirayuki-sama is alive, and she\u2019s back now! That\u2019s the only thing that matters now! And since she\u2019s back, it\u2019s only right for her to obey the rules of the Hidden Area! The Humans must also be killed in accordance with the rules!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019s not back. We just came to visit. Also, it\u2019s pretty self-serving of you to expect her to follow the rules she\u2019d never been taught, don\u2019t you think?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He still seemed confused on the whole \u2018coming back home\u2019 part, so I decided to correct him once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, things like rules only make sense if everyone knows them. Asking someone to obey the rules that they don\u2019t know is a contradiction in and of itself. Also, arguing for a death sentence instead of just banning us from future entry, even though it\u2019s all your fault that this happened (since you let Dora go outside), \u2026isn\u2019t that a bit too cruel compared to the Chieftain\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShut up, human! To begin with, why do we even give face to some humans, who put neither us Dragon Newts, nor our rules in their eyes!? We cannot allow them to leave this place alive!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, it\u2019s not like they intentionally broke any rules\u2026 Either way, does that mean you disagree with my decision, Akatsuki?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

As he said that, the Chieftain turned his gaze at the handsome guy, causing him to immediately shrink away. \u2026So cowardly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cY-yes, that\u2019s right. I disagree! These people are still intruders! For that I ask for the death penalty! No, I\u2019m not going to wait any longer! I\u2019ll just do it myself!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The handsome guy sucked in some air to use \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStop that! If you use \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019 here\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie, humans!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ignoring the Chieftain\u2019s attempt to stop him, the handsome guy breathed fire toward us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI won\u2019t let you do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*fizzle out*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His breath attack was easily countered by my escort #2, Sera\u2019s hand. As expected of our ultimate anti-magic weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, there would have been almost no damage even if it did hit. I mean, why would I be afraid of a \u2018Draconic Magic LV 2\u2019 attack? That\u2019s even lower than Dora\u2019s when we first met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, all the Dragon Newts looked pretty dumbfounded by what just happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat the heck!? My \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019 got erased!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the handsome guy could process all that, he received a roundhouse kick to the temple from my escort #1, Maria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGaaaaaaaah!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it was due to his uselessly high sturdiness, or Maria\u2019s screw up, he didn\u2019t faint right away and kept screaming in pain as he squirmed on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAkatsuki! What have you done! Shirayuki is over there too! And what if the Dragons\u2019 Gate got damaged!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGrr\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain, who was the first one to come to his senses, reprimanded the handsome guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as for the handsome guy, he didn\u2019t hesitate to use his \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019, despite Dora standing right next to me. Looks like he doesn\u2019t really care about her after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHumph, everything I did was for the benefit of the Dragon Newt\u2019s Hidden Area\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEnough! I\u2019ll deal with you later. Attacking the Dragons\u2019 Gate is a grave sin. You guys, lock him up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u201dYes!\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cU-unhand me! I only wanted to\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The handsome guy tried to make excuses, but the Chieftain knocked him out with a single blow. Two muscular men grabbed him by the arms and carried him away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026Hah, I\u2019m sorry. My subordinate acted stupidly. And thank you for protecting the Dragons\u2019 Gate. But still, to cancel out \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chieftain expressed his apologies and gratitude. He also seems pretty interested in Sera who was able to counter a \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019 attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t really have to counter it, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, we didn\u2019t even have to dodge really.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sera and Mio exchange some pretty hurtful comments (for the handsome guy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStill, I wouldn\u2019t want my clothes to get burnt\u2026 Thank you, Sera-chan\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight, our clothes would still get damaged. Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou are welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looks like the girls were worried about their clothes getting damaged, rather than themselves getting hurt. At this point, the handsome guy\u2019s full strength attack is basically no different from some cloth-eating bugs. Doesn\u2019t that make him nothing more than a bug in their eyes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Backstory \u2013 Dragon Newts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon Newts are a race of people who can change into two forms: dragon and human. Despite that, they are still considered monsters, and the skill level required to tame them is determined by the strength of their dragon form. They aren\u2019t created from miasma, but rather reproduce normally. Their lifespan is usually around 2000 years, but some individuals of specific dragon species are said to live for 4,000 \u2013 5,000 years. Regardless of the parents\u2019 species, their children\u2019s dragon form will always be of a higher dragon species. On that topic, the term \u2018higher dragon species\u2019 refers to monsters that can use \u2018Dragon Breath\u2019 (Dragon Newts use \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019 instead) like Dora\u2019s Feather Dragon or Flame Dragon. Serpents, Basilisks and Salamanders, that have shapes similar to dragons, but can\u2019t use \u2018Dragon Breath\u2019 are all classified as lesser dragon species. In fact, the term \u2018higher dragon species\u2019 was already mentioned as far back as chapter 7, but it was never explained until now. Sorry about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Author\u2019s Note: Many people may disagree with what Jin said in this chapter, so here are some key points behind his reasoning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 There is no obligation to return children to people who don\u2019t do their duty as parents (selling them as slaves, not looking for them when they go missing, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Rules are only meaningful if they are made public. There\u2019s no point in having rules if they aren\u2019t known to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
