CH 188

“C-cute! It’s so cute Master Rust!”

Princess Lily is breathing rapidly and pushing me with her body from the side.

It’s kind of annoying because the bone dust is falling off her.

I’m sure the undead dragon in my hands feels the same way, as it lets out a tiny sneeze.

I guess she doesn’t realize she’s being a bother, because she puts out her hand. I guess she wants to hold it.

The undead dragon stops sneezing, and tilts its head while still looking up at me.

Princess Lily is still pushing me.

I silently place the undead dragon on Princess Lily’s hand, but it’s definitely not because I’m sacrificing it so I can escape.

This makes the body heat pushing against me and the smell of flowers go away, and I breathe a sigh of relief.

And that’s when Seilook comes back, holding a circular magic stone with its forelegs.

It places the magic stone in front of me, and approaches the undead dragon on the palm of Princess Lily’s hand with a puzzled look on its face.

The two dragons stare at each other. Seilook lightly pokes its head with its nose, and takes it away from Princess Lily with its mouth.

“Ah… But I haven’t even pet it yet…”

Seilook places the undead dragon on its back, and turns away.

I stop Princess Lily from going after Seilook, and show her the magic stone.

“Ahh, what a shame. I might have been able to form a contract… Ah, yes. Master Rust. That really is a pattern of demons. It appears to be the pattern of the weakest demon, the seventh seat. If I remember correctly, the seventh seat makes the sky its dwelling.”

“So that enemy really was a follower of the demons. Demons and the shaman really do seem intent on stopping me from gathering points, and Seilook’s evolution. It said something about a 『hero』 too. Do you know what a 『hero』 is?”

“No. I have never heard of such a thing.”

She responds while still looking at the undead dragon with longing in her eyes.

I guess that’s all we can do for now. Everyone must be worried, so we should go back.

“Seilook?”

“Gyu!”

I guess Seilook wants to bring the undead dragon along, who is also nodding while looking down at me from Seilook’s back.

And thus, we decide to go back down with a new friend.
