Chapter 94 Moving Forward and a Miscalculation after a long while (Patreon)

「「「……」」」

The children all got up at almost the same time. Probably because of everyone eating regularly, their hunger comes at the same moment. A chorus of stomach growling from hunger could be quietly heard.

The first thing they all noticed when they woke up was that they were surrounded by a gigantic red dragon.

Normally, one would react as if it was a life or death situation, but the children knew quite well who the dragon was, and that instead of being afraid, some were even leaning against its warm body and were dozing off again.

The next thing they noticed were tow familiar looking people sleeping on a Slime, and Cielo who also got up gestured to them to watch quietly and be silent.

And then they thought.

（（It wasn’t humans who helped us……））

Mika happily strokes yhe head of Aidle and Arena, who shows a lovely sleeping face with her index finger. The two were comfortably smiling while asleep. Of course there were no children rude enough to try and wake up their tiny benefactor.

「……Nn?……Oh, is everyone already awake」

When I woke up, I was greeted by the face of children surrounding us. It seems like they were confused and don’t know how they should react, they were only staring quietly. If I suddenly humanize, they would probably be surprised.

「Umm……You are, Aidle-san right?」

「Yup, good morning everyone. Sorry for asking this so suddenly, but everyone can keep a secret right? 」

The children immediately nodded in response. That’s good, but it’s also fine if they actually talk about it, anyway for the time being. I took Maurice and Arena then put them under my Hood after transforming.

「Thanks Maurice, you can absorb a little bit. 」

When I said that, it absorbed around 10% of my magic power. It’s a little more than usual but it’s fine. Ah, that’s right, there’s also the situation with Cielo.

「Ummm, Cielo? About La Veil」

「About that, why don’t we have a meal first?」

Cielo stopped me halfway and then looks at everyone followed by grumbling stomachs. Even mine was grumbling too. Well, I guess we can’t talk properly in this situation.

「Then, shall we start preparing for now?」

「「「Ha~i……」」」

The children quietly replied as if to not awaken La Veil and Arena. I should take them all home back to Ladaria.

『……Hm? Something smells good～』

「Oh, you’re finally up La Veil? We’re almost finished preparing meals～～」

『Nu, ah good morning master. Good morning everyone……ah I forgot that I was in this state. Sorry, I’ll transform right a-「「「Good Morning La Veil!!」」」whoops!?』

The children carrying plates rushed towards La Veil who just woke up. She probably didn’t expect to be liked by humans in her current state and was a little upset. She was also moving strangely to avoid hurting the little ones. Ah, she’s crying.

『……Oh, I just felt nostalgic being treated like this by humans』

「Everyone here is greatful to you after all. Now, why don’t you humanize so we can start our meal? 」

『……Umu』
