“Calm down Sharuru!?”

“H-Huh?”

Verna was confused when she saw Sharuru, the Aquadragon, crushing the Acid Ant’s head while approaching step by step. Then Nora tilted her head and opened her mouth.

“Me? I’m Dedite-kun’s wife, you know?”

“And who are you, by the way? You seem to be an acquaintance of Jack’s.”

When Nora asked Sharuru while holding hands with Dedite, she looked at her suspiciously and replied with her arms crossed, slapping her tail on the ground.

“Oh, I see! I’m Kudelica! I’m a friend of Jack’s. I like Lars-kun, don’t worry, okay?”

“I’m Luciel. I was in the same year as Jack, but I like Lars-kun, so don’t worry!”

“I’m Verna. If you’re a dragon in the dungeon, do you perhaps know Tigre? He’s my husband.”

“I’m Luciela. If you’re that upset that just because we’re with Jack means–“

After Luciela’s relentless introduction, she looked at Jack and scratched his head, letting out a sigh.

“Yeah, that’s right. She’s my, g-, g- …….”

“Cock-a-doodle-doo?”

“No!? She’s my girlfriend! Damn it, you’re gathering here, and Lars, Lars is all I hear …… One way or another, it made me realize you’re the only one for me!”

“Gyaaaaaaahhhhh!?”

When Jack ran to Sharuru and Sharuru ran to Jack too, Jack was hugged with all her might and an unpleasant sound was heard.

Sharuru nodded, and Luciela opened her mouth.

“Couple …… that means, Jack is going to marry a dragon?”

“That’s awesome!”

“Geho …… I’ve been fighting and training with her for a while and I like her. She’s beautiful and strong. And since she’s an Aqua Dragon, she can fly to the ocean and catch fish.”

“Guha ……”

“Oh, Jack-kun!?”

“Even in human form, you’re still very powerful, so you have to be careful, okay?”

As Jack falls to his knees after being struck in the back, Dedite supports him, and Verna heals him with her Recovery magic, Luciela puts her hands on her waist and lets out a sigh. 

“You’ve got lot of work ahead of you. But a dragon and a human love is interesting, because Roza wants Sarge, and they’re both dragons.”

With that said, she laughed boldly, and Sharuru laughed back at Roza, who winked with her index finger on her mouth.

“We’ve also had a lot of fun meeting other dragons besides Sarge. And I’m glad I came, because for the first time I can use my skill to search for ores!”

“The monsters on this island are strong, so it’s fun for me to use my [Superhuman Strength] to the fullest.”

Luciel put her hands together and smiled at Sharuru, and Kudelica took both of Sharuru’s hands and shook them as she spoke, and Sharuru asked them.

“Lars is my little brother. And I think there was a little girl in the dungeon, Aina, who is mine and Lars’ little sister.”

“Nfufu, thank you♪. Well, it’s fun to talk, but we can’t just camp out here, so let’s move on? Luciel-chan, do you know of any other places that might have rocks?”

Verna smiled at Tilia’s praise and urged them to move on. This is one of the aspects that reminds me of her being a teacher.

If it weren’t for Verna, they would probably be too busy making small talk to take a step forward.

“Oh, you’re right. I can smell a crystal over here, let’s go!”

“If it’s hard, I want some crystal armor. Come to think of it, I wonder if there are any crystal dragons?”

“I’ve never seen one, though”, Roza added, laughing.

After that, they marched on, encountering more monsters, and when they had dug up a large amount of crystal, the sun went down and the group went into camp.

“I wonder if this is enough ……?”

“I don’t know how effective it will be against demons, but we’ve collected enough of the right kind to be useful for something.”

“Yes! It’s amazing that there’s always ore where you dig.”

“Ehehe, It was fun.”

When Luciel smiled as Nora hugged her, Kudelica swallowed the bread and then called out to Dedite and Jack.

“Jack, you’ve already done your training in the dungeon, right? If so, maybe Dedite-san and I need to train when we get back? We fought a lot of monsters, but they weren’t as strong as demons.”

“Now that you mention it, you’ve fought one of them didn’t you, a demon.”

“Naru-chan did, too! If Basleigh-sensei hadn’t come, we might have died …… They were that strong, so I have to be strong enough to fight Roza and Sharuru and win.”

When Kudelica smiles with determination, Roza looks around at the humans with narrowed eyes and says.

“I’d like you to fight with us if possible. Tigre seems to have struggled a lot, and I don’t want him to die.”

Sharuru said with a snort at Verna’s troubled face, and laughter broke out.

After one more day of digging, Luciel and the others returned to their base.
