Chapter 330: The Old Man’s Threat, and the Dragon’s Shackles (1)

Leaving [the one who indicates time] pressing between the horns of the head with both hands and trembling kneeling on the ground Star Strike advanced the talk.

"No why having to take this human... [the one who indicates time]?"

"Do not call my name arbitrarily!"

"Be silent."

Then [the one who indicates time] writhing hit the head again.

"Fine calling [Tokisashi]. This one meeting you some fate. Or maybe destiny. Well useful various. Unknown where going, but able to carry you all and fly."

"But... troublesome if eaten though..."

Unknown why this old man saying such a thing to first meeting me, and I confused.

So tried saying such a thing as negative material.

"...Hoh hoh hoh hoh not eating. Well somewhat mischievous though."

Star Strike after widening the eyes for an instant raised a laughing voice.

Tokisashi roughly stroked the head by Star Strike looked troubled but left as is without resistance.

"Tokisashi. Serve this one."

"If Grandfather saying that will obey but..."

Star Strike as if the talk with me ended this time turned the talk to Tokisashi.

Tokisashi while frowning looking at me reluctantly but seeming listening to Star Strike’s words.

"No no the talk not seen at all. Why becoming this flow of talk?"

To the two humans... better calling dragon people? advancing the talk leaving me I presented a bitter remark.

"Grandfather’s words absolute. You quietly obey too."

"Therefore why having to obey?"

"Because Grandfather the first generation dragon king who served the dragon god."

Put a tsukkomi to Tokisashi saying with a haughty attitude thrusting the abundantly fruiting chest, but the returned an oblique upper answer.

Not wanting to hear such a thing though...

"...Haa. Um... for now wanting to treat these humans... companions."

I interrupted the talk and looked around, and when put the collapsed Heinz and them in the view sought permission from Star Strike.

...By no means escaped.

Then not forgotten either.

Making that excuse in the heart.

"Hmm right. If us fine helping."

"No no need to mind."

Star Strike said helping while glancing at Tokisashi and Storm, but I politely declined and headed to the place Heinz and them lying.

Heinz and Ovnil, Beata not receiving that serious injuries, and simply seeming fainted.

First lightly hit Heinz’s cheek and woke.

"Nn... Hiiro... me fine already... you eat..."

"What sleeping talking."

"I!!"

Dropped Heinz’s head who said sleep talk after opening the eyes to the ground, and headed to Ovnil.

Even so what to do?

Somehow not seeming an atmosphere or position able to refuse.

"Hmm the dragon’s roar that much."

Ovnil who noticed because I hit the cheek muttered admiringly while stroking his own beard.

"Then what became?"

"Now negotiating."

Said the current situation in one word to Ovnil asking the progress, then set about waking Beata.

For now the girl Beata not the method waking Heinz and Ovnil, but gently shaking the body and waking.

"Nn... Hiiro... kyaa!!"

Woke and the focus matched, and the moment looking at my face pushed me away.

Maybe surprised because the face close.

When I floated a wry smile Beata averted the reddened face.

Disliked, maybe?

Well for now making an excuse later, and went to see the other three.

Already Heinz and Ovnil while wary of the three dragon people looking this way performing treatment.

Though only applying herbs to light scratches and shallow cuts, and deep wounds that could become fatal Beata treating with magic.

"Beata hurry."

"A-un understood."

Beata who was dazed for a while returned to herself with Ovnil’s voice and ran close to the three injured.

Midway looking at my face, and when gazes matched averted the eyes.

No need to dislike that much, maybe?

I while smiling wryly again walked to the place everyone gathering.

"Then how?"

Midway called out by Star Strike.

Unnoticed Star Strike approaching to a place if stretching the hand seeming able to touch surprised me, and I hurriedly flew back taking distance.

No carelessness or gap.

"Grandfather that one saying that too already fine..."

Tokisashi said that far, and when saw Star Strike’s turned face fell silent.

"Really recent young ones. Not listening to the old man’s words..."

Star Strike said that and sighed then began muttering something.

Star Strike’s body emitting light, and gradually that light becoming stronger.

"G-Grandfather... understood, understood so becoming this human’s servant so calm, calm please, look you say too hurry!!"

Tokisashi watching that appearance hurriedly began soothing Star Strike.

Urging me to say something too, but what to say...

"Hurry! Say making me a servant! Otherwise this whole area gone!"

"This whole area..."

"This mountain that mountain that mountain too! All mountains visible from here! Fine so hurry say~!"

To me not saying the desired thing Tokisashi while about to cry clinging and pleading.

"...Haa. Understood. Taking Tokisashi as a servant."

The moment I said that the light wrapping Star Strike’s body fading.

Completely a threat.

But Tokisashi floating tears in the eyes and trembling not looking like acting at all.

Actually now Tokisashi sitting on the ground with the buttocks and dazed.

"Hmm accepted. That excellent. Hoh hoh hoh."

Haa.

"Then attaching this to Tokisashi."

When Star Strike muttered something in a small voice a hole opened in the air.

The same kind of thing as the space Gejia putting the mother and sister in, maybe?

Then what took out from that hole a lump of ornaments.

Looking well two bracelets, one collar, one necklace, and one golden jewel in a state without decoration.

All the same kind of decoration applied, and the same kind of crystals fitted or hung so these maybe a set.

"Grandfather that..."

Looking at the things in Star Strike’s hand Tokisashi’s face turning blue.

"Now seeming some circumstances unable, but eventually wanting to become this one’s Dule."

"S-such!"

To Star Strike’s words Tokisashi raised a reversed voice.

"Because Grandfather’s words not going back on! Never done either! So! Therefore!"

"No."

Tokisashi desperately saying, but to Star Strike’s one word distorted the face and fell silent.

That such an avoiding thing for Tokisashi, maybe?

Beautiful though.

Ah no more than that.

According to Star Strike’s talk the way of speaking seeming knowing my current state... the things with the Dules...

Why knowing?

Read even my heart, maybe?

"Understood..."

Whether Tokisashi gave up muttered that while bowing the head.

Then slowly raised both hands in front of the eyes as if offering.

"Hmm obedient good."

Star Strike attached the bracelets taken out earlier to both arms Tokisashi offered.

When finished attaching Tokisashi lowered her head.

Star Strike entwined the necklace on Tokisashi’s horns.

Ah that not a necklace.

Speaking of which Gejia attaching something on the horns too.

Humans with horns that kind fashionable, maybe?

"Next the tail."

"Um no need to do this far..."

"The tail."

"Hi w-understood..."

Tokisashi who tried to change mind again but hurriedly nodded vertically to Star Strike’s one word.

At that time Star Strike’s face not seen but... well fine.

Tokisashi turned her back to Star Strike then raised the tail.

Naturally when matching eyes with Tokisashi facing this way Tokisashi floated an angry expression for an instant, but immediately lowered the eyes and averted the face.

"Hi!"

"Well about here."

After Tokisashi’s short scream immediately heard Star Strike muttered that while lightly brushing the hand.
