CH 171

“All right, I get it… I understand that no matter how much this father says, he can’t get you two to believe him because father was like that before he met Master. For now, Rururu should try to make a contract with my master, Kaisar. That way, the higher-ranked person will be the superior master. I apologize for the trouble I brought upon you, Master.”

“I don’t mind. As long as it helps.”

“Thank you, Master.”

Then, perhaps in frustration at his wife and daughter’s refusal to believe him no matter how hard he tried to explain, he offered his wife and me what could be considered a last resort.

Is that what you wanted? I thought, however, seeing how stressed he was that his scales were peeling off, he must have been driven into a corner and was willing to give up on his wife to seek relief.

It made me consider giving Fafnir as much support as possible.

“Wait, Dear! Don’t you think I am too much of a fool? What can one such person do? If you want to make a contract with me as an equal, you need to bring all the magicians in this country.”

“Yes, Dad! You’ve made a fool of Mom! What can a lesser species that can’t do anything without being in a pack do against us? It’s not a contract of equality. It’s more like a contract between a slave and his owner! Oh, I see! Perhaps that’s what Dad wanted from the start! Then why didn’t you say so from the start? I was wrong, and so was Mom!”

“Ara, as expected of my daughter. Aren’t you so bright just like me? And Dear, you’re the same as before. If you had said so, we wouldn’t have had this argument. Seriously, I’ll have to give you an earful later.”

”… All right, now that you’ve understood, hurry up and try to make a contract with my master, Kaisar-sama.”

”Yes, yes. I need to end this farce quickly and get the equipment we can equip ourselves with, which was our original goal.”

Fafnir’s wife, the white dragon named Rururu, began making a pact with me.

“What a hassle… for one human being, ara? Ara-ra? Arararara? This can’t be?”

“W-what happened to you, Mom? You worm! What did you do to my mother?”

To the mother Rururu’s dismay, her daughter Faruru, who thought I had done something wrong, tries to attack me, but Rururu prevents her from doing so.

“No, stop it! Faruru! Ah. Oh, please. Please, please forgive us for all the rude things we’ve done!”

After the contract got signed, as Fafnir had done earlier, Rururu threw herself into the ground and began to ask for forgiveness for their previous disrespectful attitude.

”Hmph, you seem to have a better understanding of the difference in status than that black lizard?”

In this scene, Bridgette starts talking with her arms folded as if to say, “That’s given!”

And, why are you being so bossy, Bridgette?
