“Aren’t you going to grow large–?”

“Nyaan!”

“Your hair is so fluffy, Dra-chan.”

When Aina, who is on top of the Dragon Cat’s head, asks Roza below her, she opens her mouth while holding Sarge in her arms.

“…… Hey, teacher, Sarge’s already …….”

“Yeah, he’s already locked on. I think she liked him because he showed her his manly side. I hope they both get along.”

“Are they going to be like Mom and Dad?”

“Shh, Tilia, Sarge doesn’t realize yet, so don’t tell him, okay?”

“Okay.”

After the personnel to go to the dungeon was decided, they started to go on the next day because it took a long time to prepare and it was too dangerous to travel at night.

It was almost past noon, and they were just walking along the beast path.

As Tigre and Jack contemplated Roza, Sephiro stroked the dragon cat and said.

“I want to marry my Lars-niichan, too. With Makina-chan, Luciel-chan and Kuu-chan!”

“Lars can do it, but I don’t think that’s possible, because he’s devoted to a single person? He has lots of money, so why don’t he just make lots of kids?”

“Well, there’s a lot going on, isn’t there? I mean, Dedite also only married one person.”

“Well, we can’t talk about that unless we defeat the Founder and his demons, so let’s go for it!”

“Kuoon♪!”

As soon as Ash opened his arms and shouted with joy, Aina and the others petted him all at once and he was happy. As they continued to walk in such a friendly atmosphere, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

“So it’s here ……?”

When Sarge escaped from Roza’s hands, he grew to a huge size and stood side by side with the dragon cat. Even so, he couldn’t touch his head to the ceiling at the entrance, which indicated that it was quite large.

“Hmm? What is it?”

“What’s wrong, Roza-san?”

When she called the two children with a smile, Roza tore her fingertips with her fingernails and held out her fingers.

“No, I’ve licked Sarge’s blood before, so Aina’s fine with it!”

“I-I’m …… fine too ……!”

Aina and Tilia put the blood in their mouths, and Roza began to lead them back the way they came.

“…… I know. We know since we’ve fought it, but if we’re going to fight a demon, we need to return that much, so it’s just right.”

“Dragon, protect Aina-chan and the others, okay.”

“Nyaan.”

“I’ll walk too.”

As soon as Roza turned into a dragon and flew away, Sarge, Tigre and the others who were left behind entered the dungeon. As soon as they entered the room, Tilia couldn’t see what was going on and her body shook.

“It’s dark. …… Dad, are you okay?”

“Yeah. We just entered. But I can’t see the traps at this rate …… Can you get a light out, Tilia?”

“Oh! Yes! !”

Tilia used her magic to brighten up the area, and Aina clapped her hands, which echoed off the walls.

“Tilia-chan really is great at magic!”

“Ehehehe.”

“It’s really bright …… And I thought it was just dug up, but the walls are pretty solid.”

Sarge was walking at the front of the group, carefully placing his hand on the wall to check its condition. It’s not wide enough to fly, so if a battle broke out, it would most likely be a physical battle.

“Oh, it’s the stairs!”

“This is where it all begins. Let’s keep our heads up.”

“I’ll ride Dra-chan!”

“Nyaan♪!”

The group descended the stairs. Tigre thought it was a maze of sorts, but–

“…… We reached quite a large place?”

“I wonder if it’s because of the dragons roaming around? I don’t think the dragons are going to be able to fight well in that corridor too.”

As Jack squinted into the distance and said this, Ash, who was riding on the Dragon Cat’s head, growled.

“Kuuuuuuoooon ……!”

“What’s wrong, Ash? Is something there?”

“Kuon! Kuuooooon!”

When Aina picked him up, Ash panicked and waved his hand toward the darkness, shouting as if to say.

At that moment, a pair of red eyes appeared in the darkness.

“Watch out!”

As Tigre jumps from Sarge’s hand, he lands on the ground with his big sword, hitting something flying at him, and then he pulls out the dagger at his waist and gives Tilia an order!

“Tilia, fire your attack magic! Anything is fine, anything big!”

“All right, Dad! !”

“Aina too! !”

“Wow, you two are amazing!”

As Aina and Tilia’s magic was sucked into the darkness, it landed on a large object and made it appear for a moment.

“There it is ……!”

When Tigre threw the dagger at it, it dodged it, moving its mountainous physique with agility.

As it approached, the earth rumbled, and the whole picture became clear.

“We will go to meet the Royal Dragon”

“Kuooooon ……!”

The mountainous dragon turned to look at Aina’s words, and Ash roared, rattling and shaking.

“Kuh …… That’s a roar just like the one I heard when I first met Sarge ……!”

“Good luck, Sarge!”

After lowering his hips, Sarge leaps at the Grand Dragon. 

I’m off tomorrow!

I’ll be back!

[Afterword Theater]

“I’d like to write a new work …… one that I’ll appear in ……”

That’s impossible.
