248 9-28 Sand Country Roukaku Dragon Tail

Rare Gaia was in a rough spot.

That's not only did he shatter his precious scales, he couldn't even kill his opponent, and if the four of them were moving around persistently aiming at the shattered scales, he would be annoyed.

Currently Rare Gaia is stomping on the ground, shaking its body and moving so much that it's flailing around untouchably.

It's all right ... it seems. Movement seems to be better than before.

I see. ...So how long are you going to hold on to it, Wendy?　Isn't it hot?

'I'm holding it down so Master won't jump out again.

No, you can't do that, okay?　My magic power is hitting rock bottom, and my body is wobbly...

If I jumped out now, I'd be on my knees like Cassandra and fall spectacularly off my face, unable to even get passive.

To be honest, I'm in a state where I can't even stand up.

''I'm just kidding. It's been a while since I've used a big spell, so I'm a little tired too.

Ha, ha, why didn't you say so?　A magical recovery potion?　A normal recovery potion?　Which one is better!

Something doesn't feel right... but it was cool when I was attached to it in the carriage and now it isn't!

If you look closely, Wendy has a face that hides the painful sweat on her forehead, too.

How come I didn't notice it!

You're going to punch me in the face again, like you did with Mizera.

No, I don't think I'll be able to get up now if I fall down.

''I'll be fine. I'll heal if I just rest a bit like this...''

Are you sure?　You can't push it, okay?

'Is that what your master says?　I can't believe it...

With that, Wendy lays her head on me and starts to rest with her eyes closed to relax, so I stay in the same position and pat her head to work and watch the fight.

"Choshini Norna!

Rare Gaia, who seems to be saying it matter-of-factly but raises an angry voice.

''Huh........the scales have been removed, but you're too violent.......you can't get close.

'But you're moving much more wildly. Even the dust seems to be sketchy with momentum in anger, and I'm starting to see some hope.

Right. For now, we're going to disperse the targets, and whoever is able to do so will hit that flaky spot.

Hmm. I'm hungry...

''Well yes. Let's get this done before dinner, shall we?

Hmm. Dragon steak today.

'What?　You're going to eat Rare Gaia?!

The four of them continue to fight while talking to each other.

It's truly frightening to know that a fighting job is not only exhausted, but also talking at leisure in the midst of an attack as fierce as that raging storm....

'Oh?　There's more room than I thought. I'm sorry, but I don't want you to eat it, Mom. I don't mind if it's my brothers' tail. And also can you please stay out of the way?

Huh? Hey, who are you?

Cassandra grabs Aina and Renge by their collars and throws them towards us.

She may have thought she threw it gently in a fluffy trajectory, but don't throw people like a ball!

Yeah, naked guy.

And.........the trajectory is fluffy, but it's not flying straight at you!

A large body of Sorte right above me...?

I told you it was just a matter of time!

Hmmm!　Somehow, you've got to twist the magic ball somehow!

'Huh?　Cat, I'd appreciate it if you didn't avoid me for a moment...

Hm. Who's there?　Sluts?　XO...?

Who's the XO?　Come on, just stand back quietly. If you get involved, your allies will hate you for it.

Hmm?　Mmmm.

I avoided White the first time, but from exhaustion, Cassandra caught him by the neck and threw him toward me.

White spun around in the air and landed right in front of me without splashing sand on me, he paused with his arms outstretched and tilted his head.

'....I'm home?

Welcome back. Just have a drink and get some rest.

I encouraged everyone who flew in to sit down and invited them to watch Cassandra advance in front of Rare Gaia, and then I took out a recovery potion (large) and handed it out.

Then White stood in front of me and turned around, and Wendy let go of my arm and gave the spot to White.

''I was attached to my master earlier, so...''

Noticing my gaze, Wendy softly smiles and steps back to give everyone the space.

'Wow. Master's side of the house!

Well, I'll have to earn my side.

Hm. White's on his knees.

"I ... uh ... don't even bother going back. I have to get dressed. You're welcome to join me.

The two of them sat on either side of me and Solte came around behind me so that she could lean back, so I decided to let her lean back as you said.

.........It's a bit hot, but the fluffy fur is gently receiving me as it wraps around my body.

''Is that........the dragon from earlier?''

White asks me while drinking the recovery potion, and I nod and answer him, though he won't be able to see me from White.

'Yeah. It's Cassandra. She said she's going to give me a hand.

"Ho.........that means earth dragon versus earth dragon.......

I'm so glad you're on our side.

That's my moral--

Once you were satisfied with your master's richness, he was on your side.

No, I mean, that's right, but it's not, is it?

Wendy?　I know I'm tired, but explanations aren't always as simple as they seem, are they?

No, but you can't expect me to take this explanation seriously.

Yeah. I don't think everyone I trust and love is going to take it seriously!

Master........is the dragon in range?

Hey.

What do you mean until?

"Wow, what were you doing in the middle of our fight?　You were probably seduced by the tits anyway!

Hey.

Look, Solte.

You became a titty, after you became an ally.

"Wendy!　I thought the boob alliance was with me!

''........Think about it, Aina-san. The three of you can make a big difference to the other forces, can't you?

Hmmm... yeah.

Hey.

Don't you think you'll be able to convince me of something sooner than you think?

Cassandra was only on our side temporarily, right?

No, wait, but I'll give it some thought.

What if the three of us were to be surrounded by a triangle like this..........

If Sicilia-sama joined us and we drew a circle, and all four sides were tits or something I'd be too happy to die.

"Lord I'll have tits someday, White will have tits too, so just wait for me!

Hmmm... oh... oh...

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Let's just calm down. It's dangerous.

But why is it that people around me only care about the size of their boobs and breasts?

I like boobs.

I love big tits.

Cassandra's tits are definitely big, but not all tits are good.

Of course the size is important, but there are various evaluation points such as tension, luster, texture, weight, elasticity, softness and sensitivity, and we have to think about it comprehensively.

It is unsatisfying that everyone seems to think that the bigger the boobs the better, even though even though they are tiny, there are cases where they are better than the boobs in terms of overall quality.

........Although Cassandra's tits are quite good tits, as you can guess from her appearance.

However, it's roughly--.

Hmm. Lea Gaia has stopped.

Hmm, yeah, I guess so.

Oops, I was about to get heated up about the boobs.

Because there was a possibility that if I mumbled and muttered to myself, there was a possibility that I would be pulled away.

It's a good idea to be careful.

Well, well....

Apparently, Rare Gaia stopped because Cassandra stood in front of him.

Cassandra stands in front of Rare Gaia's eyes with her legs spread and her arms on her hips, making her stand in front of him.

The timing of the fluttering robe fluttering in the wind is quickly blindfolded by Renge and Aina.

The best thing about this is the fact that it's not a good idea. How are you?　Or is that a slant? You're not only hungry, you're also broken to the scales.

"Cassandra...

'Oh, I knew you could tell by my appearance. 'Yes. It's my little girl, Cassandra.

nani-shini-ita.

'Don't you understand?　You've saved up all this strength and you're standing in front of your mother, right?　It's a declaration of war, of course, isn't it?

"...Mada hayai isle yuzur.

That's not for you to decide, Mother. ...the dragon is power. It's only meaningful if you fight against your mother. What good is the title of chief if it's given to you?

Besides," he continued, pointing to Rare Gaia with his palm facing the heavens and only his index finger and thumb spread out, as if to provoke her.......

''Honestly, I think Mother would have it easy right now.

"Zuni Norna!

When Lea Gaia takes a large paw, the sand coagulates from there with a sharp point and becomes a spine, heading towards Cassandra.

Is that the same procedure as the manipulation of sand and dust?

''........What is this attack? I'm at my best right now, right?　Can you not lick this much or something?　Come on, give it your all.

....

Lea Gaia held her head in a retracted position against Cassandra as she slowly approached.

Then he suddenly stepped forward and recoiled, shaking his head, and the spot Cassandra was in was instantly chewed to pieces by the sand.

'Cassandra!

There's no Cassandra on the sand.

So that means she was eaten!

No, no. Rare Gaia's mouth was not completely closed and sand was spilling out of her mouth.

''........Mother. You're wasting away. You haven't even eaten anything hard lately, so your jaw must have become weak....... It's because you don't even eat the earth dragon properly and only take the magic power of the princess maiden and sleep all the time, that's why it's become so weak...''

"Gunnu-nu!

Cassandra was on the tip of Rare Gaia's mouth and seemed to be able to support her upper jaw with one hand and not get bitten.

Or rather.....

Wow ... this should work, right?

Cassandra seems to have a lot of leeway in terms of her words and actions, and if she keeps this up, she can fight off the Earth Dragon.

Moreover, if Cassandra becomes the chief, she will break the pact.

Perhaps we can successfully talk about the large number of ground dragons that will be generated.

''Mmm........''

Hmm?　What's wrong White. You look disgruntled...

Lord. I'm hungry. Cook me some meat.

I'm hungry........well, I used a coat of clothing, so yeah.......　But right now?

Hm. Now. I want it now.

Okay but you can't do anything elaborate, can you?

It's kind of serious over there, but is it okay to have a BBQ over here........

I mean, if I were to grill it, it would be the tail of the earth dragon I got earlier... Wouldn't he get angry at me for eating another child's meat in the middle of a fight between father and son?

But White is hungry because he worked so hard, and he'll say now and look at me expectantly, so let's grill it.

"My lord. I'll put out the fire.

Yeah, thanks. Can you do that?

I asked Shiro to cut out the dragon tail meat by indicating the size of it, then got Aina to fire it up and put it on the pan.

It's a good thing that you can already tell that the meat is good even at the raw meat stage, although the Jiryu was too hard to eat.

Tail meat is usually rich in flavor and rich in collagen.

It looks marbled and tender, but it's stringy and hard...it should be, but what is this meat....

When I rubbed salt and pepper into the meat and cooked it, the collagen melted out and the meat tightened as if it was close to the center bone, but when I tried to return the meat with tongs, the tip of the meat went into the meat and it was so soft that it looked like it was going to split open.

The collagen melts and transforms into perfect red meat, and the collagen is absorbed into the meat again before it gets burnt, but the smell of it heating and bubbling up makes me drool.

'Lord!　Lord!　Did you burn it yet?

'I'm almost there. ........Can dragon meat be rare?

"There are no parasites that attach themselves to dragons!　I could go raw!

Unable to wait, Shiro also drools, and looks restlessly at the meat in the frying pan.

Or rather, Aina, Renge, Kuduro-san and even Koren-sama are all staring at the battle in front of them, disregarding the battle in front of them, but I know how they feel when I smell this scent.

''Master. I will help you too.

Yeah. That sounds better.

I'll have Wendy grill it at the same time, since it won't be possible to do it just for White.

And..........when I put the finished dragontail steak on the plate, I served it to White first.

''Mmmm.......smells good!

Yeah. Now you can eat.

Hmm. But Lord first.

Are you sure?

Hm!

White presented the meat in front of me, drooling, and I didn't hesitate to take a bite of it, trying to make it quick.

At that moment, I could see everyone gulp down the saliva that had accumulated in their mouths.

It's so soft that the flesh rips apart on its own rather than biting off the tips of the teeth, but the juices don't flood that much from inside.

However, the meat was firm and chewy in my mouth, and the more I chewed, the more the flavor came pouring out from inside in the form of juices.

If you use your canine teeth, the meat rips open, and if you use your molars, the flavor, the gravy, comes pouring out.

Probably, it is strong enough to crush the meat, but weak enough to tear it up.

It's exactly like it's meant to be eaten.

The simple seasoning of salt and pepper conveyed the taste of the meat to my tongue with such clarity and intensity that the simple seasoning of salt and pepper didn't play a leading role in the flavor, and my throat swallowed the meat that had become finer and finer without my awareness, all on its own.

''Whew...''

I let out a sigh of admiration.

The satisfaction of a bite is not half bad.

I should have chewed it up as small as possible, but it still seems to leave a presence in my stomach that is bigger than the size of the food I ate, which is still chunky.

''Delicious........''

There were many things I felt, but it was a taste that could only be described in one word.

'Hmm!　White eats it too!

This one will be ready in just a minute.

Wendy said and everyone slithered over to her.

As I was grilling another piece of meat anew, I looked at White and stabbed the bone with my knife and lifted it up, opening my big mouth from the side and biting into it, chewing on a mouthful of meat.

''Ahhhh ... you can't bite if you're so greedy, can you?''

Mmm.....

White's eyes sparkle and he writhes as he holds his swollen cheeks as he chews happily.

That's right. Jiryu was disappointed because it didn't taste good, right?

Eventually, he opened his mouth with a smile that seemed to blossom in a flash as his round face returned to normal.

''Delicious!　The magic is thick, and it tastes great!　The more you bite into it, the better and better it gets!

With magic, yeah.

I felt like my magic power recovery went up when I ate meat, but it wasn't my imagination.

Perhaps the magic power accumulated by the earth dragon had been stored in the tail.

Maybe that collagen part was fused with magic power.

''This is........tasty.......''

I've never eaten dragon meat in my long life...

It's not every day you get to eat dragon meat, you know!

'Oh it's not very nice to do it by hand but it's the way it is, isn't it?

Yes. I'm going to have to excuse myself too........hmmm....

It seems the actual eating has begun over there as well.

Each one of them ate the meat with their faces wide open, and they all had ecstatic expressions on their faces.

I'll take this one, Sorte. Voilà!

'Thank you Lord!　You can just throw it away.

Sorte, in his wolf state, was not sized for the plate or pan, so he released the meat as he was told and bit into the meat with a crunch.

''Hot!　

Naturally, it looked hot because it was freshly baked, but eventually, like everyone else, he examined it profusely, closed his eyes, and chewed it repeatedly with a delicious smile on his face.

Then I heard the sound of gurgling and crushing bones.

''Oh, this tastes so good in the bones too!　Maybe I could make some soup with those bones.

So we'll take the bones back and do it later.

Let's eat every last bit of this delicious food.

This is how we savored the dragon tail steak while watching the battle between the dragons and their son.
