Hey guys, sorry for the delay. I got into a little accident with my bike and that made me unable to upload before. I’m fine so no need to worry just some scratches, my bike just needs a little fix and that’s it.
This is finally the las POV chapter so from tomorrow onwards more story.
Thanks as always for your comments and feedback.
Now enjoy!

— Maorin’s POV —
Lately I’ve been worring about things that I hadn’t worry about before. For example my hair. Up until lately I wouldn’t comb my hair properly and at most would untagle it with my hand and wouldn’t really get fixed on my appearance but because Kagane had fervently said that I have such a fluffy hair, I started to comb it every day. I also never worried about what I ate because I thought that everything gets mixed in the stomach but, after seeing Otto-dono so happily eating Tata’s meals and say how delicious they were, I started to think that I also want to make Otto-dono do that kind of face, and now I’m being taught by the highly praised Tata to cook. To think that I would get so enthusiastic over something other than fighting. Every day I’m struggling.
I want to be praised by my future husband and I want to be told that I’m beautiful.
The moment that I understood that those feelings are what move me now thought that I was changing because I got a man that I love…
I was making sandwiches with Tata for lunch, and when Tata went to distribute them to everyone, I stayed seated in my seat and took a bite off the sandwich I made. Tata made a lot of sandwiches for everyone’s lunch but, The way she made them was so elegant and magnificent that it was as if a master had decided on his only path. Her skill was so uniform and they all came out perfectly arranged, and she also put some kind of secret ingredient that I don’t know of but she said that it would make it delicious. On the other hand, my sandwitch were all unevenly shaped because when I cutted the bread I put in too much force and I just put any ingredient I had at hand together. The taste itself it was almost close to Tata’s but I feel the shape hurted how appetizing it was… haa… I still need to practice more…
I was eating my badly done sandwiches while sulking, Otto-dono came in while knocking on the door.
“You were in here, I went looking for you in your room”
My heart jumped when I saw Otto-dono come in. Is my hair okay…? While I was worring about that, I quietly tried to hide my poorly made sandwiches.
“W-What is it Otto-dono? Looking for me, do you need me for something?”
“Yeah, I’m making everyone’s equipment and I need your body measures so I’ve been asking everyone around. So I was hoping that you would tell me your measurements… is it okay?”
“You are making one for me too?”
“Eh? Of course. Well, the thing about becoming my wife put aside, I don’r particularly hate you, you know? I really like your honest personality and you have being doing your hair for me, right? That makes me really happy. My lack of answer to your feelings is just me being selfish so I sincerely ask you to wait for me to put things in order… I’m properly looking at you, Mao…”
Seeing Otto-dono say that while getting a completely red face makes my heart beat even faster. He’s properly looking at me… I forced myself into coming with them, and up until now all I have been doing is fight so I tried a lot of things to get him to like me but Otto-dono said that he is properly looking at me… Just by knowing that, I feel like this warm thing that I had in my chest since before got even hotter. I’m glad I started doing my hair and practice cooking… I’ll make sure to try even harder.
“U-Umu… uhmm… T-Thank you…”
I feel my face burn too and realize that my face is also deep red too. Ahh… I feel like jumping out and scream ‘Waaaahh!!’.
“T-That’s right! You came to ask for my body measures… I-If is okay with you Otto-dono… would you please take them yourself? I mean… I’ve always neglected that kind of thing so… I don’t know something like my measurements…”
“Even if you say that… U~m… Are you fine with it? You don’t mind me taking them?”
“Of course not! On the contrary I wish you would take them!”
I mustered a little courage and said what I wanted and got my measures taken by a red-faced Otto-dono while I myself had a red face. O-Otto-dono! My ears are particularly sensitive so… please be more gentle… uuhh… ahhh…
Some days later Otto-dono gave me an equipment that would adapt to my movements. As my main weapons he gave me a pair of swords made of Orichalcum that were the exactly same length as the ones that I was previously using and, accordingly to what Otto-dono said, the long one was infused with God Magic to adjust itself to my body growth, and the small one was infused with earth magic and can do simple earth manipulation.
And my protective gear was a light armour that covered my arms, legs, upper body and the part around my hips so that it wouldn’t get in the way of my movements. It also has a hole for my tail and it’s also made of Orichalcum. All that’s left is for me to become even stronger. While I was looking at my equipment I tightened even more.
I head towards the prairie that’s across the castle to train myself with my equipment. I can’t let myself be led by the power of my weapon. It will show its true might if I can master it…
“Haa… haa…”
I was wholeheartedly doing my training and was sweating drops like balls when suddenly I glance upon a distant scene. Otto-dono was fightin with the Dragon King Ragnil-sama. And while watching that mytical fight I decided something in my heart.
I want to be able to spar like that…
