Akuyaku Reijou ni Nanka Narimasen - Chapter 456 (Patreon)

Dungeon capture, Dragon and I.
The moment the broken wall was repaired, Boss Donragon attacked what seemed to be the Dungeon Master's shadow.

I really want to pretend I didn't see that. However, there's no way I can avoid going to the adjacent room.

"... For now, let's go."

I, and Dirk, take the lead. Following were Jash, Jend, Mary, Rinka, and Geraldin-san in that order.

"Ohh, Rosarin. I've been waiting."

Yamata-no leader Donragon was wagging its tail. The red head seemed friendly, but the other heads looked somewhat suspicious. The red-headed leader Donragon resembled a Kou and I couldn't help but smirk.

"Sorry to keep you waiting?”

"Yeah, you saved us earlier. I thought we’d be torn apart..."

The red-headed leader Donragon had teary eyes. The other heads also had teary eyes. Maybe the fear has been conveyed. Since there were wounds on their necks, I healed them, and it wagged its tail again. It's somewhat huge, but might be cute. The eyes feel gentle.

"... The one called Rosarin.”

"Yes."

A black head with a splendid mustache spoke. There seemed to be no hostility.

"Aren't you afraid of dragons?"

"Yes. Can I honestly tell you?"

"... Umu."

I passionately talked about the cute Kou. For me, dragons = Kou.

All my kids are cute. They're still cute even if they grow bigger. Recently, Kou has become a bit tsundere, probably realizing his noble Dragon status, but that's also cute. Cute is justice and treasure.

In other words, for me, dragons are cute. Their round eyes, and the smooth and glossy scales are cute.

I've talked a lot about how cute my Kou is, how well-behaved he is. I'm more like a parent or an overly-doting sister. My companions were looking at me with lukewarm eyes, but I don't mind.

"... I understand your feelings well. Let's do this."

The head with a beard smiled gently and dropped something into my hands.

"Thank you very much... Huh?"

There was something familiar about the stone I received. A sparkling, rainbow-colored stone in the shape of a dragon. I gently took out the Cactus Heart from my pouch. It looks super similar. I have a bad feeling about this.

"Oh, you also have a Cactus Heart. In that case, detailed explanations are unnecessary. That is an item called Dragon's Heart. Most dragons will follow you if you have it. The effect is not much different from the Cactus Heart; it just summons a dragon instead of a cactus."

"No, no, no, no, I don't need it! It's fine! I don't need an ultra-rare item that seems capable of destroying a country!"

"Don't be reserved. It is suitable for someone like you who cherishes and loves dragon children so much. You won't misuse it."

"I'm being misunderstood! I won't misuse it, but I don't need such a dangerous item!"

Despite my full insistence on not needing it, leader Yamata-no-Orochi Donragon brought up some misunderstanding about humility or something, and I couldn't get a refund.

"To be able to command even dragons said to be at the pinnacle of monsters, truly fitting for my Lord!"

"It's not like that! We just became friends! Dragons are noble, so commanding them is impossible!"

"Since the time you went to visit the Crystal Dragon Village with a box of cakes to play… I mean, since the time you received the Cactus Heart, I've been thinking that this day would come someday."

"Honey! If you give up, the game ends there!! By the way, you've been predicting this from back then!?"

Mr. Dirk looked completely lost.

"... They say bad things happen in threes."

"I can't bear to have so many bad things happening!!"

While shouting like that, I noticed. I noticed it. A hand is reaching out from under Yamata-no leader Donragon.

"Eek!?!"

It was a real horror. Come to think of it, for a moment, I saw a figure that resembled the Dungeon Master being attacked... I have a bad feeling.

"Umm, what about the Dungeon Master?"

"Umu, crushed."

My companions were frozen, but I was expecting it, so I made a retort.

"So it is their hand under your body, huh!! The dungeon isn't going to collapse, right!?"

"Umu, it's fine. This is a clone; the main body seems to be elsewhere."

The hand twitched, and leader Donragon disappeared. Everyone raised their weapons, staring at Dungeon Master with tense expressions.
