Chapter 169 (2/2)
“Meru is saying to do your best! Wazu, please give it your best for Meru’s future~!”
“Kill him!! Wazu, kill that stupid dragon!!”
… Sorry, it wasn’t us but just me who they were encouraging… Well, one of them is hoping for someones death… Someone please cheer for Ragnil… I can tell he is getting depressed just by looking…
“… I won’t lose… I shan’t lose!!”
Ragnil roars and dahses at me, with that momentum he slices at me with his claw. I dodge by stepping backwards but a big claw mark appears in the earth where I was standing.
“… Oi Ragnil… you are being kind of serious…”
“Of course I am!! I won’t give you my daughter!!”
And next Ragnil started attacking seriously from everywhere and I dedicated myself to defence. Although I won’t get injured even if they hit me. He attacks me with his fire breath and I swing my arm sideways to produce an air current so that my recently made clothes don’t get burn.
As we were doing this I saw the high elf whom with I had quarrel before, sidling up to Sarona so I went flying to make sure he stays on check. If he ever dare to even put one finger on Sarona I will kill him…
Our exchange? continued for a while and eventually Ragnil started to breath heavily and disorderly.
“Haa… fuuu… guahh…”
“Ooi~ Are you satisfied yet?”
“No… not yet…”
Haa… That’s it… If this continues like this, it will never end…
I close the distance with Ragnil in a moment and I hit him with my fist just once with enough force to not kill him.
The next day I got once again called to the Audience Hall. Of course Meru is on top of my head. When I finally arive at the Audience Hall, I see Ragnil, Meral and Megil lined up. Ragnil calls out to me.
“I lost to you Wazu… So I have no other choice but to acknowledge it… Just let me say something as Meru’s father… Please make my daughter happy…”
“……… Understood. I shall treasure Meru.”
As I answer Ragnil, Meru flies from my head and delightfully gives me a kiss in the cheek. I answer Meru’s expression of love by patting her head and apparently satisfied returns to my head.
“And? When do you continue your journey?”
Megil asks me that.
“Let’s see… I already made all the clothes and equipment, Meru got plenty spoiled by Meral so, although I have to consult it with everyone, I think we’ll depart tomorrow or the day after.”
“Is that so… You are always welcome here. Besides being Meru’s husband, this is also your home.”
“Yeah, I’ll be coming again.”
After saying that I leave the Audience Hall to consult with the girls the date of our departure.
I purposely didn’t touch the subject but, Ragnil was made to do dogeza and furthermore had some stones in his lap making weight… Hang in there Ragnil… I’m sure you shall shine tomorrow too… probably…
