After having a rare experience of being a dragon's obsession. Yes, ME! I have decided not to think too much about it. In the first place, I am biologically a different species. There's no way I can give birth to an egg.








So now I have decided to stay away from the holding back dragon, Gyabushu and bid farewells as I returned to the inn and decided to stay there for a night.








   After having our breakfast, we decided to immediately head to the Northern Knight's Order.








... ...There's no way in hell I'm riding a dragon.






Of course, I'll think of it like that. Just remembering about what happened when I rode one and the dragon-sickness I've experienced is making my head dizzy once again. However, when I tried riding once more――


"I don't feel sick"






I don't even feel like getting sick. Well, somehow just a little bit but it's not the same thing when I feel like puking even if I stay still. 






"... ...That's because Gyabushu is taking your well-being into account when he flies."




Zezgard-san muttered in a low voice when we decided to take a break on top of a cliff with a beautiful view. 




   It seems like the reason why my dragon sickness lessened quite a lot is all because of Gyabushu.








"Y'know Gyabushu is... ...the world's coolest dragon... ...when he flies, he's always faster than anyone. Whenever his wings flutters, compared to other dragons, he is always the grandest... ...and though it's true that it is gonna be hard for a human to ride on him...that's better... ...that was better... ..."


"Haaaaa,"




"In order to be with that kind of Gyabushu, I made sure to train my body well and no matter how much I fall, I never gave up. Seeing the ME, like that, Gyabushu sighed and with slanted eyes, he looked at me and told me, 'it can't be help with this ruffian'... ..."




"Fu~mu, I see, I see"








"But now Gyabushu... ..that Gyabushu is taking another person's well-being when he's flying... ...why...why the hell for a plain person like you....why for your sake... ...this plain... ..." and then an Uuuu-sound echoed in the distance, as he started crying his eyes out again.


So it's similar to that senpai of mine from work, who only use to care for the speed and power when buying a new car but when the moment he got himself a family of his own, he now leans more to the whole safety efficiency. Like the function of the airbag, being particular in installing an easily portable child seat or getting sliding doors. And then seeing that kind of Senpai, you, as the kouhai (underclassmen) get shocked as the sudden behavioral change. 




Un, I understand. Really, I do.








"Well Ma-kun, I'm sure you'll also understand once you get yourself a family." (Lol, she's back to calling him Ma-kun *Dead*)




I said, while smiling gently at him and then as if he also agrees with me, Gyabushu licked my cheeks. (Eunie: ruuuun. lol)






"Who the hell are you looking at! And stop naturally calling me 'Ma-kun'! I ain't Ma-kun!" He yelled. I'm sure those golden eyes of his are glaring at me right now.






  And then as if to rebuke Ma-kun... ...I mean Zezugardo-san, Hurst-san said, "Stop with the whole thing about you and Gyabushu. Just grow up already, will you?"






"... ...I'm an adult! I'm thirty years old!"








"Ah, I'm also kind of doubtful about that. Zezu-san isn't thirty years old right?" (Ryleigh)






"Eh?" (Shina)






"... ...I'm almost thirty" (Zezu)






   Almost thirty means... ...?








"Well to be exact he's twenty-eight years old right?"








"... ...That's almost thirty."




An unexpected false representation!




"Umm, twenty-eight years old is twenty-eight years old"






"Un, 28 is 28 right~" (Ryleigh)






"Ah, 28 is 28" (Hurst)




Twenty-eight years old is twenty-eight.




   It is one of the truths of the world.








"Shut up! If you are still that energetic and let's hurry up and leave!"



After saying that, Zezgard-san seems to have called out to Gyabushu, who is currently acting as my cushion and then it extended its neck area so we decided to climb back and head to the Northern Knights Order. 



We took breaks, in between our travels as we surely moved forward, towards our destination. Heading to the northern region, the view in front of us has slowly changed and change. At first, there'll be huge cities or some small forest or a small village between the valleys that we can see then it changes from small villages to big ones. 


And then it changed to a place with wide-open pasture, filled with tall grass, that seems like it will reach around my waist.


From what I've heard from Hurst-san, the North has the demon beasts forest so the ground is mostly enveloped with the miasma that's why it is hard to grow trees or develop the agriculture. 

While overlooking at the wide grasslands, as we move along, I saw something white move around ―― .


"Shina-sama that's the barrier"



"So that's the barrier... ..."




After hearing Hurst-san's words, what was reflected in my eyes is the milky white dome looking barrier. 

  It is actually quite see-through and huge and if you look at it properly you can see a quite extensive meadow that has some presence and what it has bound it seems to be the whole demon forest. 




"... ...It's a lot bigger than what I initially thought"



  It sure does look bigger when seen in person.



And then I feel like I just saw something bizarre from within the meadows and was quite bothered with it but riding Gyabushu doesn't really help me in figuring out the entirety of the forest.



"The plants within the premise of the demon forest are said to be quite special. Because despite all the miasma, it can still grow from there. And that tree over there is an extremely important timber used daily here but if that increase then it means that the proximity of the demon forest is also expanding. That's why the knights' order here has to cut it on a fixed-term basis to maintain it."



"I see."



   It seems like everyone at the Northern Knight's Order is quite the loggers as well.



It seems like one of the reasons why even when Hurst-san cuts down a tree, he can still turn it into a weapon back in the palace. 



It seems like the milky white barrier I've seen from far away is getting nearer and then there's this fork-road between the dome and the grassland and from the base of the mountain, I can see some stone fortress around two storeys high with a lumber and stone lodging house.



"... ...It's a bit nostalgic"  Hurst-san muttered while gazing over the rustic looking building.


It was quite obvious that it was made with the intention to focus on the sturdiness and efficiency of a fortress, rather than being particular with its design. But hearing him say that, I looked over him and I can still see those expressionless light blue eyes of his.



"Is this the place where Hurst-san belong to?"



"Yes, ever since my parents placed me in the knight's order when I was fourteen. I've always been here"



"Ever since you were fourteen..."


From the forest to the opal-like a barrier and then the meadows and the gentle slope, these are the places where Hurst-san spent her youth. 


  While thinking of it like that somehow I couldn't help but view them in a different light as they all seem bright and sparkling to me right now... ...




"Hurst-san, Ryleigh-kun. I'm really looking forward to it."


   With that sort of feeling overflowing from within me, my heart feels satisfied.



That's why I fixedly stared at Hurst-san's light blue eyes. 




   "Please tell me all about the nice things about this place"




And with Ryleigh-kun's verdant green eyes, he peeked over me and said, "Let's do a lot of fun thing okay?"


When I alternately looked over at the both of them, suddenly, I caught sight of Hurst-san's light blue eyes turn gentle and then it slanted in a bit, as if it is smiling gently at me and those eyes of his, seems to be filled to the brim with passion... ...



"... ...As you wish"



"Hiiiiii-ttttuuuuu"


Without breaking his gaze away from mine, he reached for my right hand and in a precise manner, planted his lips on the back of my hand. No, wait.



What the heck? 





Just what is this stage even called?



"Shina-san, even here, no matter how many times you do it, please make sure to steal me as many times as you want, okay?"



"Hiiiiiiiiii" (Eunie: this is more of a scary shriek, compared to the one before. Heck, I'm so dead with Ryleigh's misleading words. Seriously. This shota is much more dangerous than the dragon.lol)



*COUGHAHEM* 

Why is he saying it as if I've stolen some forbidden fruit or something?



  And for some reason, Ryleigh-kun's lips are planted on the back of my left hand... ...! He's kissing it. He kissed it! Uwaaah, he just licked it! What the hell. No, no, what in the world should I do? This is just impossible!




"Gyabushu!!! Go down! Hurry! Down the slope!!!"




"Shut up! Stop ordering Gyabushu!"





"Sha? Shaa?"




"The heck, why are you going down Gyabushu!!"



"There's currently an outbreak of a knight's knightly knight's knight action... ...!"



"What the hell are you talking about!"


Scary. Dragons are scary. .read.only.here.at.eunietl.I thought it's quite nice to travel in the sky since I'm not getting motion sickness as much as I thought but I knew it!!!



   ....I'll never ride one ever again ! ! !








Did you know? If you ride a dragon, your heart won't last.
