159 Episode 154: Gathering Friends 3 All-Member Assembly! (2/2)

”Manashii, I want to see you.

Yeah, right. Yeah, I missed you too, man.

Hazuki comes running up to me and I give her a gentle hug.

”Sasha, hi hi.

Hazuki-chan, it's been a while!

Sasha, who had been in my arms for a long time, happily squeezed Hazuki.

It's kind of like the three of us are hugging each other as a father and son.

Of course, that's just an image.

'I mean, it hasn't been a while, right?　It's been about a day, right?　No, it's okay. Somehow I don't think I've seen you in over a month either.

Unu?

'Well, that's just the way it is. How did you get here?　It's not too far from Dillinden, is it?

Of course, she flew over in a single bound.

Impressive, Mr. Dragon. He was faster than a bird.

Oh, that's great.

Unu.

”Humph, she is the ruler of the sky, the dragon within the dragon, the alexandrite. I won't be late for a mere bird.

”You're an SS (double-es) grade guy, don't play with the wild birds every time...

You see, as we speak, your wife has arrived.

While saying that, the two of them walked close together from the direction of the Shin-En-Dragon looking at them--.

Uzuki!　And Nia!

Mr. Sayre, heh, I'm here.

That's what Uzuki did, and he was so happy to see me.

Hey, Seya. I hear you're helping people again.

It was Nia, waving her hand briskly like a scene from a movie.

'What, there were two of you here?'

”Shin'enryu-san said she was going to Seya-san's place, so I followed her...

The way he apologetically shrugs and says, yes, as expected of Uzuki, it's very cute.

”You are the guardian of the Shin'enryu, right? You can't let them go to the imperial capital without guards. I've put all the work on the back burner and put the highest priority on going with you.

Oh I'm sorry, I'm really giving Nia a hard time...

Boy, you know, humans are so anxious, aren't you?

'No, you should be worried. Depending on your mood, if you're not careful, the imperial capital might disappear from the map.

If you want me to do it, I may use my ”Black Flame of the Demise” to clear a few dozen kilometers of land without even leaving any charcoal for disposal at once.

I won't!

I didn't do any of my summer homework on August 31.

I wish the world hadn't been destroyed and a new semester hadn't come with the great prophecy of Nostradamus.

I'm not some dumb schoolboy who wished he was a schoolboy.

Yes, that was me as a kid.

I was a hopeless idiot.

By the way, my Lord, did you have something urgent to do?

'Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I'm not sure I'm going to let you guys in on this one. Actually, it's a matter of course...

Besides me, Sasha, Chris, Shirogane, Uzuki, Hadzuki, Naiya and the Shin-En-Dryu.

I explained the situation to my friends, who were now a large group of eight people.
