Chapter 161 (2) (1/2)

I was surprised at the enormity of the Dragon King's castle at first, but once I got used to it, it was no different from any other human castle. There were many places, like a vast plain, so I wasn't troubled when searching for a training place. The air was a bit stuffy, though. When I said so, Kagane who heard that said---

”On top of the mountain..... No, we are above the clouds. I wonder if the air is thin here. But it's another world so I don't know if it's relevant....” (Kagane)

I listened carefully to her explanation and interpreted it to my own understanding.

There was energy called oxygen that our bodies needed to function inside the air. The thing about the air thinning implied that this air only contained a little of the aforementioned energy. The short breaths we were taking was one of the signs of thin air.

But I should say that Kagane is really a knowledgeable girl. It is still really hard to believe that she came from another world, but I can honestly praise her abundant amount of knowledge.

We proceeded through the castle with Wazu-san's guide. We met and were introduced to the dragon king, Ragnil-sama. I trembled slightly due to his overwhelming presence.

He indeed looked overwhelmingly strong. However, the strange thing was, he still seemed to fall short in terms of strength, from our partner, Wazu-san.

Afterwards, we introduced ourselves to each other. While listening to the detailed explanation of the castle from Meru's mother ---Meral-sama, we were guided to our room.

When I turned my line of sight to Meral-sama who was guiding us, I couldn't help but admire her beautiful pure white figure.

Will Meru also grow into a beautiful dragon like her mother in the future? Even now, Wazu-san dotes on Meru a lot. I wonder if she will get more attention in the future. I also have to grow more attractive in order to attract more attention from Wazu-san.....

It was a large room because all of us wanted to stay in the same place. However, there were not enough beds so we brought them from another room. We combined the beds into a single huge bed. Because we from the Brides Alliance are good friends.

Wazu-san was in a different room, but I hope the day when we can openly sleep together will come faster..... But seriously, why are there human-sized beds here? Even though this place is the castle of a dragon king..... I asked Meral-sama.

”Oh, it's a story from a few generations ago. There was a dragon king who had a good relationship with humans, and the situation of this mountain was also different at that time, so humans often visited this place. Those beds are the remnants of that era. Of course, the beds have been properly taken care of, so please use it without worrying.” (Meral)

Certainly, the beds we gathered were all beautiful and clean.

”Well then, please make yourself at home.” (Meral)

Meral-sama left us with those parting words. We sat down in a circle on the bed after bowing to her.

I wonder if she will return to where Ragnil-sama is.

”Okay, Wazu will need time to make our equipment, so let's not disturb him. What shall we do during our stay?” (Narellina)

Narellina asked while looking around at us.

”How about self-training?” (Sarona)

”You are right. Everyone has something they want to improve.” (Narellina)

”I don't have any problems with that.” (Naminissa)

”..........there are various things that each of us want to do.” (Haosui)

”Bride training!!” (Kagane)

”I also have to review the area which Otto-dono pointed out.” (Maorin)
