The twisted way to fall in love with a dragon

The main force of Fujikyo's army, which was fighting Tama, was destroyed by a lightning strike from Thunder Fang King.On the other hand, the forces of the Holy United Army were almost unscathed.

However, due to the defection of the Tochijo circle, the supply line of the army was cut off, and it was facing a crisis of food shortage.Therefore, they can only take the victory of the first battle with the Fujikyo army as a gift, and then withdraw their troops and return to Fukui, which is their base.

The appearance of the dragon led to the annihilation of the entire army. It seems that this was a considerable impact on the Fujikyo army.Therefore, although the Holy United Army originally thought that the Fujikyo Army might send troops to pursue from behind, in the end, they returned to the sphere of influence of the army without even seeing the enemy's shadow.

Since there is no need to worry about enemy attacks, I took a small rest on the open ground of the river.

Dorma dismounted from his horse, handed over the reins to his subordinates, and immediately went to Akenzel who was resting.

The young man didn't set up his tent, but just sat on the grass and drank black tea.Because in the sneak attack just now, the servants were killed or injured in protecting Yake, so now they are accompanied by two young men whom Thomas doesn't know very well.

"Thank you for your hard work. Now that you're here, you don't need to be the queen."

In order to reward the general who has been guarding the tail of the army, Yakengel handed out the cup of black tea he made with boiling water.Yake never cared about the title of commander in chief, so he took care of almost everything around him by himself.

Although Dahan didn't think his attitude of hating friends close to others was as good as before, the people around him seemed to understand his behavior kindly as being unpretentious, so they didn't specifically remind him to correct it.

What's more, the black tea made by Yake is more delicious than anyone else's.

Thomas, who took the cup, bent down beside the young man and sat down, drinking tea with a bitter face.

"Oh, if it wasn't for Lord Dragon King's help, I wouldn't be able to come back this time. It seems that the spy organization must be rectified after returning. They didn't find any signs of defection in the Tochi City circle, even if they didn't There should be a limit."

"The Tochijo circle that threatened the buffer zone broke the alliance with the Miyagi circle. It seems that King Fujikyo is seriously considering the matter of going north. Although the Fujikyo army has captured Aichi and took advantage of the momentum to attack Kipu, if It wouldn't be much fun if the country was threatened by the North."

"After conquering Qipu, you will enter the sphere of influence of Aisaka. Aisaka is very strong. King Fuji Keo must have planned to reserve a buffer zone. After a short rest, he will confront Aisaka head-on. If you use Aisaka as your opponent, You must be mentally prepared to fight with all your strength. Compared with that side, is our side just a side dish? Hmph, don't underestimate it!"

Facing his friend's complaints, Yake smiled with his white teeth.

"Indeed, aren't we 'little dishes' compared to Fengsaka? Even if we ourselves, if Fujikyo hadn't started suppressing the Four Gods Sect, we wouldn't want to mess with him now."

"That's right, but now that the Fujikyo Army has started to put pressure on the sect, they think that if we don't get rid of us now, it will become very troublesome in the future, right?"

"This level of complacency is still within the allowed range."

To the friend who replied with a joking smile, Doma looked back seriously and asked a question, "I said Yake, you also want to see Ulan boy sooner? Anyway, it doesn't matter if we are the only ones here, you can let Ray His Majesty Kibago returned to that world, and returned the body of Kid Ulan, how about it?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't need to be so anxious. Anyway, Crotia likes him very much. If she insists on dismantling the possession magic, she will probably be very angry."

"What are you talking about! That guy didn't come to the Yang Realm because of Tia! He has nothing to worry about with King Leiya, he's already dead anyway!"

"It's not a matter of concern—"

The big man grabbed the arm of the young man with a troubled smile and pulled him closer to his side.

"Since it's something you want, just say you want it. If you dare to turn back into the bumbling paladin you were before, I'll give you a good beating on your pretty face first. That's all. Don't you think this is too much for Ulan kid?"

"You misunderstood. I just think waiting is a kind of fun."

"What does that mean!"

Yake saw that the young servants were surprised by the general's menacing attitude, and showed annoyed expressions of not knowing whether to intervene in mediation, and nodded to them with a smile that said it didn't matter, reassuring them.

"The effect of relying on magic is only ten days. The joy of knowing that you will definitely see Ulan again in ten days is something you can't taste from the sudden reunion. Of course, I also want to see him sooner. It's just that This feeling of happiness that is getting closer to him day by day is indeed part of the joy of reuniting."

"...What, why do I feel as if I was forced to hear some terrible love stories?"

"It's okay to do this once in a while. Don't you keep telling me about your affairs? Unlike you who can see Tia every day, we haven't seen each other for two years."

"Having said that, don't you want me to listen to two years of love stories? ——Ah, yes, speaking of this, where did that girl Crotia go?"

The girl who usually accompanied the monks or generals by Yake's side was nowhere to be seen.

"They all gathered together to listen to the story of King Leiya's past battles. Although I was a little embarrassed, I had to leave early because of my headache."

"Why, don't you like getting along with King Lei Fang?"

"No, I can't say that I don't like getting along... He has the same black hair and black eyes as Ulan, and his appearance is also very similar. Whenever he smiles at me, my heart beats faster. I don't know what it is Happiness or pain—”

Yake, who was blushing, looked at the bottom of the empty cup and muttered in a low voice, almost talking to himself.

Thomas silently recited the two years and two years in his heart like a mantra, and listened with restraint.

"Speaking of which, that guy Crotia is too clingy to Thunder Fang King! No matter where he goes, he clings to death, even if that guy is the Dragon King, it's too much!"

"Oh yo~ Is your fiancé jealous?"

Thomas completely ignored his friend's teasing.

"Stop talking nonsense! That guy doesn't regard King Leiya as a woman at all, does he?"

"It's the same with Tia. She doesn't love him as the opposite sex. Guess probably can't understand this, right? That's why he's still trying to follow her as a watcher until now."

"Oh, it's really hard work. Should I say that he is stubborn, or is he too worried? Monk, he is really confusing!"

"The paternal tolerance that King Lei Fang fascinated her is full of charm no matter who looks at it. Even those guys who thought it was scary at first and wanted to run away are now fully embraced by King Lei Fang. What about the group?"

Thomas frowned as if asking Yake to pour more black tea into the cup.

"Hey, Your Highness Saint. How can you be robbed of your subordinate's popularity by a guest?"

"The so-called saint and other titles were originally just a casual talk by the great priest Obitaru. Even if it was later recognized by the headquarters of the church, I did not agree with this title, let alone pay attention to words and deeds at all times. In line with the status of a saint. I have given up playing the role others imposed on me. I am who I am, and my life is my own. And no matter what I do, in the end, people around me see only what they want to see part of it."

"Yeah! You and I just want to challenge the limit of our abilities, so we will start the journey to conquer the world. Although there is still a long way to go, let's walk on it easily and happily!"

The young man smiled and nodded in agreement. Looking at the young man's smile, Doma said in a trance: "You...that smiling expression is really pretty! With your already rich face, coupled with such a seductive face, Even the Pope will be soft on his feet if he smiles?"

"Hey, you are the general of the army with the backing of the Four Gods Religion. You are not allowed to mention Your Majesty's (note: the honorific title for the Pope) royal name in such imprudent jokes."

"Yes, yes, the former paladin-sama is really strict! But, for you, compared to His Majesty's backing, the Majesty who looks straight at you with a straight face can give you a lot of confidence. ?”

The brawny man who took the initiative to provoke rashly at first deeply regretted his talkativeness because of the young man's next words.

"Because of him, I have self-confidence. Because I know that no matter what happens in this world, there are people who will definitely treat me as the most important person. This kind of self-confidence can make me close to invincible oh!"

"Woo! Do you want me to listen to it for two years at once? That's too much, hey!"

"Just be patient. Don't you think about how many times you quarreled when you were together? Every time I was angered, I was forced to listen to your complaints, and I was asked to mediate. This kind of Role, I really want to try you instead—we can't even quarrel."

The young man's last whisper made Thomas feel a little sad when he heard it.

The fact that the Dragon King showed up to save Yakenjel from his life-threatening situation also meant that the Dragon King would never have been able to come to the Underworld if it wasn't for such an urgent matter.

The phantom beasts living in the underworld will be in danger of going mad if they absorb too much energy from the yang world.When the beloved Dragon King goes mad, the pledgers will have to take the Dragon King's life with their own hands.Such a tragedy, as long as it is possible, of course no one wants to let it happen again.

However, dragons must be sacrificed in every chaos. The cruelty of this world also means that tragedies will continue to happen in the future, right?Because otherwise, the world will merge into one again, and a catastrophe that will wipe out all living things will follow...

"...Yeah. Although you can run to save people like this, you can't stay by your side forever. Speaking of which, have you asked him what happened in the underworld? It will make Ulan kid use magic to deal with it The chaos, it can't be just a trivial matter, right?"

"It seems to be a battle for the throne. Ulan Boke, who was supposed to die here, has returned to the World of Fantasy Beasts. The dragon who competed with him for the throne advocated that his throne should be revoked, and there were many dragons who agreed, so The dragons were divided into two factions and have been fighting for two years. Even the final decision to win one-on-one was only a moment before we came here."

"What did you say? That is to say, the king was created to die in the Yang Realm anyway. If he returns alive, he can't be the king anymore? Ulan is just a little ghost in the [-]th or [-]th year, right? The purpose of sending this kind of child to death The purpose is to send it here, and then because he came back alive and disrupted his plan to become king, can't he let him go? What a bad scum! Even if only half of the dragons support his statement, the dragon clan will not be a good thing !"

Instead, Yaconjell had to comfort Thomas, who was furious at what he had heard.

"It's useless for you to be angry here now. The philosophy of the Dragon Clan may not be the same as ours. Anyway, Ulan Pok has already won the one-on-one duel, so now no one has any reason to object to him ascending Throne."

"Ulan almost died for those guys, didn't he? That includes the bastard who wanted to fight for the throne! Don't you get angry, Yake!"

After hearing his friend's angry rebuttal, the young man showed an elegant smile on his slender and beautiful face, which is very suitable for the title of saint.

"Yeah. If that dragon turned into a human and stood in front of me, I'd want to cut his whole body into pieces and kick his head like a ball."

The calm tone and the cruelty of the content made Thomas's brain, which had been dazzled by the blood, quickly cool down.

"I said you, isn't this the line that should be said with a smile on such a beautiful face?"

"It was you who asked me what I thought, and I just answered your question honestly."

"Oh my, you really deserve to be the grandson of the demon king Dandarion who took revenge on the world. You are usually so calm, why are you so violent all of a sudden?"

Once this friend who is a former paladin gets angry, he will immediately turn into a cold and dangerous state like a drawn sword.

As long as there is any inadvertent move towards those beautiful men who have improper feelings, Yakenzel will definitely refuse without mercy.It even happened that one of the opponent's arms was chopped off with a sword.

For the discrepancy between his polite daily attitude and his aggressive actions, Thomas once explained it as the cleanliness of his character.But in the past two years, because he has been acting with him, Thomas noticed that his friend's personality was very different from what he thought.

Although Yake is not easy to be intimate with others on the outside, and his attitude is very indifferent, but there is a surprisingly deep feeling hidden in his body.It is precisely because of this affection that he turns from coldness to enthusiasm, from one extreme to the other.

And what liberated him, who was bound by the past that amounted to self-denial, was Ulan Pok's dedicated love.Because of this, when he found someone who wanted to harm Ulan Pok, his anger was of course so intense that Doma couldn't compare with it.

"It's not just you, I really want to see Ulan as soon as possible. When I saw him, I wanted to tell him 'you did a great job!' Although that guy is still a kid, he has already guarded the world and ensured the pride of the king. Since If the ruthless dragons didn't praise him, then we as friends should say more!"

"That's right. Although he didn't act for the sake of being praised by anyone, he is still very happy to be recognized. Especially the approval of a friend like you."

"Stop it, what's the use of your complimenting me?"

Thomas smiled wryly, half shyly, when someone called Thomas' name outside.They looked up, just in time to see Crotia running from the opposite side.

"Thank you. I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be together so soon, so I noticed it later."

After the gasping girl finished speaking these words in one breath, she sat down beside Thomas and snatched the black tea cup from his hand.He drank the remaining black tea in one gulp and let out a long breath.

"Ah~ It's delicious. Now, this is the tea made by Yake, right? You can tell the difference when you drink it. How can you make such a delicious tea? Teach me next time."

"As long as I'm with you, I'm going to make a lot of noise. According to your nagging behavior, King Leiya must want to avoid you."

"Sorry for being so noisy! You are still jealous with His Majesty King Lei Ya, you are too thick-skinned."

"Who would be jealous of a dead man, idiot!"

"Ah, how dare you say that about His Majesty King Leiya?"

Before the bickering between the two turned into a real fight, Yake cut in.

"Let's stop here. It's good that you are nice enough to quarrel, but don't let King Lei Fang see the joke, okay?"

The Dragon King standing a little far away was not upset by Thomas' slip of the tongue, he just smiled generously watching the two young lovers quarreling, but the former mercenaries around him and Ghaith all laughed Not coming out, just staring here with a complicated expression.

Because the two fell into silence due to embarrassment, Yake had to speak to break the deadlock.

"Lord Lei Ya, I made a new pot of tea, if it's convenient, can we sit together for a while?"

"Thank you. But before that, I want to say a few words to you, the swearer. Now it seems that you can reach a safe place. If it doesn't matter if I'm not here, then return this body to his master..."

Before King Leiya's suggestion was finished, Crotia stood up and shouted: "No! We may never see each other again, please don't go back in such a hurry!"

"—She is right. Could you please come with us as long as time permits? The soldiers will also be happy to receive strong reinforcements."

Although Yake had no other intentions, the faces of the guys who ignored him and surrounded King Thunder Fang all flushed.

In fact, Lei Fangwang's presence is indeed very large.His magic power, which wiped out the entire enemy army in a blink of an eye, really brought people absolute peace of mind, and some people hoped that they could always get his help.

"That's not something to be happy about. I'm just a passer-by who appeared in this world due to accidental reasons. If the undead like phantoms stay in the Yang Realm for too long, it may cause the collapse of the world balance. I only need to confirm that Karl can safely become the unified kingdom Your king, having spent his life happily, is already satisfied."

Thunder Fang King Alphador, who had just arrived in the Yang Realm, met Carlisle, who became the extinct prince at the age of ten and went on a journey of suffering with a handful of attendants. He raised the prince with all his heart like his parents.

It is not difficult to imagine how Carlisle, the king of light who established the second unified kingdom at the age of 15, relied on this dragon king who made an oath with him.

"……happiness?"

The voice of Yakna's rhetorical question was full of unexpected doubts, and Thomas couldn't help but look back at him.

But King Lei Fang didn't notice the tone of the other party, but turned his eyes full of deep love to Crotia.

That's the look that once bet on the young Carlisle, right?It is the eyes of a loving father who loves the weak and fights to protect him until the end.

"Princess, a descendant of the Holy King, thank you for giving me stability in the short time. Please convey my greetings to the current Dragon King—goodbye."

The girl wanted to call out his voice, but it disappeared because of the sudden gust of wind.

A flash of light burst out from the Dragon King's body, and everyone closed their eyes because of the dazzling light.Although consciousness exists, the body cannot move.This strange feeling that seems to be delayed by time is a phenomenon that occurs when relying on magic to activate and cancel.

Suddenly, the strange feeling disappeared, and the strong wind that seemed to blow people down disappeared without a trace.After opening his eyes, Arkenjell saw the figure of a black-clothed boy appearing at the place where King Leifang had stood.

The boy lost consciousness due to the rapid consumption of mana, and fell backwards on his back, but luckily Ghaith rushed over to catch him in time.Before the brain could react, Yake's body had already run over.The monk of the Four Gods Religion, who was on one knee, turned the young man in his arms towards Yake, and said happily, "The contemporary King of Huanju seems to have grown up a bit since then."

On the journey to eliminate the maddened Eudemons two years ago, Ulan looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child.But now the boy sleeping in Gase's arms has grown taller, and his appearance has matured a bit, and he feels that he is already sixteen or seventeen years old.

Unspeakable passion surged in Yake's heart.Although it is a natural change for humans, for dragons who take a hundred years to reach adulthood, two years of human growth is almost equal to their ten years.Ulan Boke obviously accelerated his growth rate.

That's because Yake, who forced him to age at the same rate as himself, made the boy make a vow.Inheriting the strong lineage of the ancient dragon that can transfer time and space, it is not impossible for Wulanbok, who can use magic to advance his future... So, the boy followed his lover, which can only be said to be true. A wayward wish, a vow kept.

Yakanzel stretched out his hand and hugged the unconscious boy's body to his chest.Vow to love each other for life.Swear never to hurt each other.Swear to keep him safe from everything that would hurt him.Ulan Boke will not default on the contract.Dragons are creatures that absolutely keep their vows.

When Crotia opened the curtain of the commander-in-chief's tent in the night camp and entered, there were already two pioneers beside the lying boy.

"Ah, everyone thinks it's almost time?"

"Well, I can't wait any longer." Gase nodded and smiled naturally.

This possessive magic that only Ulan Pok can use consumes a lot of mana and stamina, and it takes three days to recover in the Yang Realm after the curse is undone.During this period, he was unconscious and completely defenseless, so it was necessary to ensure a safe place for him to rest.

Sitting directly on the expensive velvet, Thomas, who drank cider with the monks, scratched his stiff jaw with his fingers and roared.

"Don't hold your breath anymore, it will be night soon! It's been three full days, hasn't it? Her Royal Highness stretched her neck and waited!"

"Ah, are you still jealous?"

"Idiot. 'His Royal Highness' isn't talking about you. Of course I'm talking about the most important and beautiful Princess Yakenjere of Ulan Kid. Besides, you didn't want King Lei Ya to go back, and you kept pestering him until Is he the last?"

Although Thomas' tone was similar to usual, there was still a trace of reproach.

The girl with her long chestnut hair tied high behind her head sat down next to the monk and hugged her knees.

Her lonely profile made the big man panic.

"Hey, I'm not blaming you!"

"I know. It's not the problem. I just thought of that person's sad eyes. It seems that he is always looking into the distance with sad eyes. Although he looks similar to Ulan and has the same black eyes as Ulan, he is completely different……"

"That person, ah, no, he is not a human being because he is a dragon—are you talking about King Alphado?"

Dorma, who thought that King Leifang was a man who perfectly embodies the kingly demeanor, was surprised by this.

"Although it is the world that that person guards with his life, his most important person is dead and is no longer in this world. For that person, although there are some subtle differences between the King of Light and the lovers of fate, they are A very important person. Only when he talks about little Carlisle, he will feel happy, and even I will feel happy when I listen to it.”

The girl raised her face and asked the monk.

"Tell me, Gus. Is the Eternal Kingdom of Phantom Beasts and Humans the same country? If that person can meet Carlisle again in the Eternal Kingdom, he won't have such sad eyes anymore. One point in the world When it is divided into two, is the kingdom of the eternal world also divided into two halves?"

"It is said that the souls of the dead people will become part of the huge consciousness of the four-faced god, and they will be in a semi-awakened sleep state with many other souls. Originally, there was only one world in the earliest days, and the souls of phantom beasts and human beings would be gathered here Lord Four Phase God's imperial soul merged into one, and entered a peaceful long sleep. You can't distinguish yourself from others, so you can't have the consciousness of seeing each other again?"

As soon as the monk's simple and easy-to-understand explanation was accepted by the girl, it was immediately dismissed by Thomas's words.

"That's just human reasoning? Monk! I heard from Ulan before that phantom beasts don't believe in four-phase gods. If you die in the sun world, your body will return to earth and water, and your soul will go to the eternal world. Because he thinks it is predestined, so he will not become an undead like a human being. If you want to know if this is the case now, then just ask King Lei Ya if he met the King of Light in the Kingdom of Eternal Eternity. Ok?"

"How can you ask such a rude thing!"

"Never mind being rude, do you think that living people can understand places like the Kingdom of Eternal Age? Just because they don't know what will become after death, so when they are alive, everyone will work hard to make themselves happy .I don't want to count on what will happen after death."

As a monk, Gass could not ignore Thomas' words.

"I think everyone is like that. However, it's only natural that people who live a life where they can't get what they want put their hopes in the Land of Eternal Eternity. There are also people who can live until now by comforting themselves with such thoughts. Yes. Not everyone is like you, able to have the power to survive as they wish."

Facing the two men who would not give in to each other because of their beliefs, Crotia panicked instead.

"Damn it! Don't get excited. You two are real! I'm just asking because I'm sentimental, and I knew it wouldn't lead to anything. I just feel bad because the world doesn't have any gratitude to King Alphador." It's just uncomfortable—so, where did Yake go at this critical time?"

"The old woman in Bingshan sent an urgent envoy, and she will go back after getting a response. Yake just went to see him off. Yake is also the same. He is so cautious even with an envoy, so that old woman will get carried away!"

"Are you a general? Do you think it's appropriate to say this to Her Royal Highness Maria Bella, the second princess of the late King Kanagawa? According to Yake, if it is more serious, the other party is our Holy Union Army One of the few backings, a vital existence!"

"Hmph, it's just a concubine of a subjugated country. Will it help you on the battlefield? I am willing to accept that old woman only because she is a high-level magician, and she can use the remaining battles of the Kanagawa Knights But that old woman slipped away from the battlefield because she was too dangerous! She also took most of the Knights as her guards! Damn it! Thinking about it now, I’m still pissed off!!”

"Okay, okay. Of course you are angry. I also feel the same way as you on this matter, but Yake should have Yake's thoughts."

"So I didn't say anything like 'throw that old woman out'. Because Yake has been looking at others with distrust of human beings for a long time, so he can see what is punched in the stomach of others Idea. He also thinks that the old woman is still useful, so he will take care of her. If you want to negotiate with the royal families of various countries, it is of course more convenient to sacrifice the name of the old woman from the royal family of the famous religious capital. Even I can’t do it I don’t even know these things.”

Gus nodded reassuringly, and poured cider into the glass that the burly man had emptied at last, talking to himself.

In the eyes of Thomas, who was born as a mercenary who only survived on his own ability, Maria Bella, who is parasitic on others and puts on airs, is an unforgivable human being.However, Arkenjell, who was once a paladin, has been living in the headquarters of the Four Gods Sect, whose desire for power has swelled to an ugly level, since he was about ten years old.

The donations entrusted with people's beliefs surpass the power of the king of a country, as well as great wealth and knowledge, but the group that gets these can never be a collection of god believers who are as selfless as they appear on the surface.

Human beings hope to be redeemed, so there is a need for a God who transcends human beings to exist as a redeemer.A completely pure and undefiled saint or something does not have any influence on people who are like the crystallization of desire.They will only serve those who can understand their desires and satisfy them.

The monk Ges, who has the special experience of former Miyagi royal guards and martial arts master, gave a high evaluation of Yake and Doma's battle to conquer the world.Jacques understands the cunning and vanity of those in power, while Thomas understands the strong selfishness of ordinary people and the passion that occasionally surpasses it.And, both have purpose, ability, and charisma.Because of the introduction of Princess Crotia, Lu Wanka, the famous prime minister of the Miyagi circle who formed an alliance with the Holy United Army, did not dare to underestimate the two people who had developed their power to this extent in just two years, and became vigilant.

"Hey, Tia! What are you trying to do to Ulan who is sleeping?"

"What you said is so ugly, people won't do any pranks! I'm just watching Ulan's sleeping face carefully!"

The girl lying next to the boy as if sleeping with him stared very closely at that face.

"Sure enough, it's the same as what I said two years ago."

"what did you say?"

"Didn't I say that in just two or three years, Ulan will be so handsome that any woman will be fascinated? Although I really hope to be like the King of Light with 'brilliant blond hair like the sun', but like Ulan The black hair with mysterious temperament like Lan and King Leiya is also very good! Wow, Ulan's eyelashes are so long, she was originally a dragon, why did her face grow so neat and beautiful... ah!!"

Crotia, who was staring at Ulan from a close distance where she could almost feel her breathing, suddenly met those dark eyes that looked like the winter night sky, and quickly jumped away with her face flushed.

"Well, it looks like he's awake!"

"What? Yo, brat! You're finally awake, long time no see!"

"How is your body?"

The boy lifted the blanket and sat up, straightened his bangs with his hands, and cast his nostalgic eyes on Dorma.

"It's only been two years and it's become so majestic, my friend."

"Oh, what are you talking about, I'm a general now!"

The strong man showed his white teeth and smiled.

"If it were you, I believe there will be many subordinates who are willing to follow, right?"

"It's okay. Although you may have said that because you were sleepy, but these words are still very pleasant to the ears. Yake will be back soon."

"Ah, it's better to see you in this spirit. Have you been serving as the princess's protector until the end?"

Dragons don't call humans by their first names.Possessing powerful magical powers, they can bind the will of opponents whose names are called, and then manipulate them as they wish.Although the royal family or the great nobles will avoid the bondage of names by hiding their real names with aliases, but it seems that it is an important etiquette for dragons not to call anyone by name easily.

The monk who heard the topic turned to himself responded thoughtfully with a smile on his face.

"I'm so glad that His Majesty the Dragon King still misses me. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you for your rescue in this time of danger. I have applied to both the Prime Minister Lu Wanka and the religious order, so now I will cooperate with the Holy Union Army Let's act together."

Crotia, who was staring at his sleeping face and talking nonsense, is still embarrassed.

The boy who didn't match his appearance at all, but the boy who became more mature in appearance, gave her a gentle smile that reminded him of King Lei Fang.

"You've become more beautiful."

"Oh...? Me?"

"Yeah. I've heard that women change with age, but I didn't expect it to be like a completely different person. Your sisters with bad personalities can't call you ugly anymore, right? You won oh."

This is by no means an exaggeration.The conspicuous freckles have faded, and the thin body has a little more flesh, showing feminine curves.Coupled with the brilliance radiating from the depths of her heart, no one should think that she is just an ordinary girl like before.

Crotia, who has matured spiritually because of having a lover, is no longer as obsessed with appearance as before.Even so, she was almost moved to tears because of the unexpected compliment from the normally indifferent boy.To cover it up, the girl pretended to be cheerful and called out.

"Ulan, I hate it! It's too late for you to regret it now~ I have already made a marriage contract with Doma with the permission of my father."

"That's it, that's great. If the order of encounters was reversed, I might not make an oath to Yakenjell, but to you."

The boy who became expressionless again made a shocking confession nonchalantly.

Ah, Lord Four Phase God! —the monk screamed.

"Why is Ulan like this! Why are all the male dragon kings..."

"Hey, calm down, Gase. It's impossible to change the contract now. And from Ulan's point of view, he doesn't intend to modify it, right?"

What made Crotia somewhat unwilling was that Thomas didn't care about the boy's confession.

And in Doma's view, they were already known from the love of Yakanjel shown when he had to decide whether to kill the maddened Ulan Pok, and from the way Ulan responded to it. The relationship between them has long been beyond the reach of this level of confession.

The boy nodded.

"In other words, I want to say that your fiancée is the best partner who is qualified to be the object of the Dragon King's oath."

"Yes, yes, I will cherish her from the bottom of my heart. It's good that the order is not reversed. If the remaining one is Yake, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to become my best partner."

"You said what happened to me?"

Just at this time, Yaconjell, who entered the tent, happened to hear Thomas' nonsense.The fresh water-colored eyes were widened as he looked back at his boy.

Ulan Pok stood up nimbly, ran towards his beautiful sweetheart, stretched out his arms and hugged him tightly—it would be fine if he only got here, but Ulan wrapped around Yake with one hand Her neck pulled him over, and without giving him time to refuse, she deeply overlapped her lips.

"ah!!"

"Oh."

"Oh, forget it."

Everyone had different exclamations from their mouths.

Although Yake was quite embarrassed because he realized the sight of his companions, he didn't mean to refuse forcefully.Two years ago, the height difference between the two was a head and a half.Now the gap has been shortened to only half a head.The body of the boy who is embracing him now is completely different from when they parted and embraced each other.The shoulders broadened, the arms and fingers thickened, and the whole body grew and became stronger.

His heart is presented in these arms in a way that anyone can see.

——Ulan Boke...!

Never know when we will meet again.When I was thinking about him, he might be thinking about something else, and when he was thinking about myself, maybe I was thinking about something else, right?

The two worlds are different, because this is a long distance that cannot be shortened, so I can only think that there is no way to give up.And no matter what happened to him, there was no way Yaconjell could get to him.

In the past two years, facing the uneasiness repeatedly surging like waves, he would even have such regrets. Rather than having such a lonely mood, it would be better not to meet each other from the beginning.But, now, the joy that suffices to take it all away, the answer to all doubts—is in these arms.It doesn't matter what the rest are.

"Oh?"

I thought that the friend with a cleanliness character would definitely push the young Dorma away, scratching his head and looking away.

"...I've convinced you, it makes people wonder where to put their eyes."

"It's like 'this~like~' to Yake. Anyway, even if you say that to me, it's still nothing, right? Really, it's completely meaningless. Hmph!"

Crotia put on an awkward look and hugged her knee.
