CHAPTER 14: Dragon-san Settles Her Affairs

「Why the hell the exit portal is in the skyyyyyyyyy!!!! 」

Since we began our long free-fall froround, Kyle did nothing but corip in

「No, I mean, it would look pretty bad if we just broke the barrier and entered as if ned the place 」

I initially thought that the protective barrier would be spread all over the capital, but it turns out that it was only spread over the royal castle

Then, even though ere in the air, Nectar bowed down his head withdexterity

「I appreciate your concern, if you were to break down this barrier, it would take ain 」

「How in the hell can you be so calm, Nectaaaaaaarrrrrr!!!??? 」

I think that there was a whole lot that Kyle wanted to say, at least his body language was indicating that

As for Nectar, since he was falling right by my side and with his trusted staff, this whole situation didn't seem to bother him that much

When we reached the altitude of 2000 on for speed dropped a few ti on Kyle's face

「If you wanted to avoid the barrier so badly, then why didn't you use the nearby plain for a landing pad? Wasn't it empty? 」

H just that

「I think that this way of entrance is far on likeyou two into trouble, and since I tend to forget about s and pay no attention to any huht, co 」

Besides, I didn't wanted to dirty ht that the expression on Kyle's face was that of pure amazement, but quite contrary, his expression was rather serious

「I can't swear the ical oath to you However, I can stop other people fro bad speculations about you This I swear I will accomplish with my full power 」

Are you serious?

「You don't really need to worry about it that in with, but since you're offering, then I'll gladly accept 」

As round, there were people who started to gather in the castle's gardens and walls, raising their heads and gazing upona whole lot of noise in the process

People across the town and in the castle seerand entrance was super effective

After h for people to hear us, I raised s, hu」

I wonder why, but for soh

Anyways, I h there was an entire forest of swords pointed at ed to so caether with his officials, I turned towards hireeted hion to talk to them, I turned into my human form in order to say to them what needed to be said That way I wouldn't have to explain it to each and every one of them separately

And thanks to that little demonstration of my abilities, there was no reason for the anymore Needless to say, I was rather pleased withproved to be the co man in his late teens coossips that I overheard later, apparently he was an illegitiolden age

It seeed by the previous king along with any other child that was of a sie, so that they would not raise any claims for the throne in the future

Fortunately, there was a ical tool that could be used to prove if someone was blood related to so's coronation to ascertain his claioing on

「U to do with us……? 」

「Hot about that 」

Although I was once called Chaos Dragon around these parts and was attacked by the for et all about But lo and behold, now he ain

「Let's see … I hold no grudges against the hu unforgivable Thus, Isiret it But it's not like you were thinking about doing anything like that, a-kun acting like that, sothe reaction of their King-kun, all of hisquite shocked and awed

It was rather mysterious, but oh well, I carried on nonetheless

「Do not try to har to worry about In other words, if you keep on being good to me, I have no real reason to be mean to you, unless you try to harm those important to me Understood? 」

「O-Of course! 」

I declared soh I iic) and as a reaction to that their faces went froorously

Seeing everyone reacting like that was a real confidence booster

Also, if the internal affairs go smoothly and peacefully, the culture should flourish as well and there could only be good things co it, Lavdono! What are you going to do if every young ht it was a pretty good idea, but apparently Kyle had a couided to a guest roo there Kyle was constantly frowning his eyebrows and looked as though he had a strong headache

He also smacked my forehead with his hand Of course it didn't hurt at all I just put my hand to the place where he s else

「…… My friend, I dare you to try this again with et angry! 」

「Oh, fancy that you bring that up! Didn't you heard a word I said earlier!? 」

「I, if you so desire, Lava, I can also s to make a coo as far as placing so equip the rooic, so noe could freely talk about anything that anted Not that we had anything to worry about in the first place, if you askedat the other side of the walls here I would be able to sense theht as well coic to that, I could tolerate that to so eavesdropped on was not pleasant in the slightest

However, when I told them that I wanted to drink some tea, they instantly responded to ether with so you tea and sweets! It looks like Kyle and Nectar's reputation went up significantly, having been recognized by the dragon hi about, the position of twoalready quite low even despite their innate abilities, got slightly better, which was a good thing, I guess

Thanks to that, for the first tiic taste of madeleines! It al it through, I shook the hand of the ht us the sweets

「Madeleinesssssss!! If you were to sell theet rich in no ti them to us! 」

It was then when I realized that I was shaking the an to well up in her eyes, and it was also then when Kyle sthe sweets, Nectar decided to use his talents to learn how to bake sweets

After that ere also invited to dinner hosted by the new king, but since it sounded troubleso that my table manners left much to be desired, we decided to ditch the proposal

We instead decided to invite soicians, where we could talk easily, all the while chewing in the dishes that Nectar ed to cook

It turned out that the superior taste of Nectar's cooking was soicians

Ah, there is nothing that could possibly beat a bowl of hot, steaed to procure a bottle of alcohol and started to distribute it aht to behold, huon!

I was seriously surprised to see that Nectar was proving to be a heavy drinker as handling his liquor quite well, as well as to see that Kyle was doing not so great, with his face getting all flushed So his love to the girl in their unit as a joke, but since he was drunk he took it very seriously and actually did it Things started to go south when the girl actually blushed and was ready to accept his confession, and that's when things began to go even more south

It looks like he had a whole bunch of rivals to coirl's attention What athe cheerful and drunk at to prove that they would be the irl, while I watched it all with enthusiason's words have the power to become reality, so be cheerful! Be happy!!

In the end, thanks to the sea of liquor that flowed on that night, I got to know everyone in here so well that they started to calla popular drinking song the words of which I ed to memorize in an instant

「Well then, see you, Nectar Be sure to contact oing to see each other again! 」

The next oodbyes to Nectar, since there was nothing here for the the teleportation circle proved to be a lot harder than I initially expected it to be, not toso e company, and since it would probably cause the local people heart attacks if they saw on foroing to be a good idea, but I was dead wrong on that one

Oh well, just don't bla everyone somewhere else entirely by accident, for example, like, umm, to the nearby town instead I would probably die from sheer embarrass

Not that it was going to influence my life in any way, but still……

It also happened that right around that time, we started to receive various kinds of invitations fro parties that were organized here in the royal palace

One of such officials was a 's side

Soon, we received a word that Nectar's presence at theto open a branch of Magical Academy in a sot struck with a dragon-panic upon seeingleylines and serve as a ons, and Nectar was appointed to be the head of this institute
