Chapter 331: The Old Man’s Threat, and the Dragon’s Shackles (2)

Tokisashi who raised her head’s face making an about to cry expression.

"There this the key."

Said that and received the jewel Star Strike threw.

Looking the jewel a size able to hide gripping in the palm, and inside the crystal shining gold a finely made dragon statue stored.

"Try putting magic into that."

I without thinking anything put magic into the jewel as Star Strike said.

"Eh!? Here!? Stop... kyaa!!"

Immediately Tokisashi raised a scream.

Looking Tokisashi’s body leaning back, and the tail largely raised.

Apparently the collar in the set attached to the tail, and that tail ring (?) entering between both horns and sticking to the necklace... no horn ornament entwined on the horns.

Then both hands raised too, and the bracelets sticking to each horn.

No probably stuck to the horn ornament.

Tokisashi who both arms and tail drawn to the horns like a tea cloth wrap whether not intending to become that state lost the posture balance and collapsed to the ground.

The collapsed Tokisashi turning her back to me but...

"!"

Tokisashi’s buttocks raised the tail to the extreme the thin clothes rolled up by the tail too, and the hole of the buttocks completely visible.

"Ya kyaa!!"

Whether understood the buttocks seen by me Tokisashi twisted the body and flapped the feet and wings, but the wings unable to spread hindered by both hands and tail, and the feet only rubbing the ground unable to change the state.

So-called a defenseless state.

"When becoming this unable to become a dragon either. Feet etc. immediately able to suppress. Do as pleased."

Star Strike muttered looking at the struggling Tokisashi then looked at my face.

"How?"

Stuck a vulgar smile on the face unthinkable for royalty and asked me.

No need to think what asked.

Swallowing the words wanting to say even a grandchild...

Well looking at Tokisashi reddening the face and desperately trying to hide the buttocks wanting to assault but...

"Well gradually."

"I see."

Leaving the person herself me and Star Strike simply finishing the vulgar content talk.

"How to separate?"

"Simple. Fine returning the magic into the body."

Indeed the same feeling as the Dule crest.

When sucked the magic from the gripped jewel the horn ornament, bracelets, tail ring binding Tokisashi separated.

Tokisashi who both hands freed hurriedly lowered the tail at the same time pulled the hem of the thin clothes with both hands and hid the buttocks.

"U~..."

Then groaned and glared at me resentfully.

I averted the eyes as if seeing nothing.

"Well that thing. Take this girl."

Unknown what that thing... probably forced.

But handing one’s own granddaughter to a man of unknown origin just met...

Dragons creatures incomprehensible.

Looked at Tokisashi’s face still glaring at me.

"What pitying!!"

Apparently the thinking pitiful coming out on the face.

"Haa. Understood. Well for now come together. Fine?"

"Not fine! But... no choice..."

After replying to Star Strike asked Tokisashi, and really reluctantly nodded.

Unwilling but unable to oppose Star Strike, that place, maybe?

"Ah right. Make Tokisashi’s Dules obey this one too. Will send after."

"! U-understood..."

To Star Strike’s unexpected one word Tokisashi showed impatience but nodded.

I see Tokisashi having Dules.

Well because a princess natural if natural, maybe?

"Heard, right, Storm."

"Y-yes understood, Princess..."

Um with this flow of talk Storm Tokisashi’s Dule fine, maybe?

"Why Storm?"

"Do not call my name lightly!!"

Asked Tokisashi, but to that Storm who still seiza and lowering the head toward Star Strike raised the head and shouted at me.

The moment Star Strike’s held staff swung down on Storm’s head.

"!!"

"This! What listening! Becoming the master of your master’s master. Respect."

No that unreasonable.

After all just met earlier, and even hostile.

"U-understood!"

But Tokisashi who squatting as if dogeza pressing as if hugging the head whether quite painful immediately corrected the posture and lowered the head to Star Strike.

Quite Star Strike scary, apparently.

"Um then Storm fine as Tokisashi’s Dule?"

"Yes right. Others two noble dragons, and one human."

Thought that many, but the last word caught.

"Human?"

"Yes right. Human. Will introduce later."

Whether already given up the way of speaking seeming gentler than until earlier.

Then let us have introduced later.

Not even seen the face yet.

"Then me going soon. Storm do not become a dragon lightly in front of people. Fine."

"Y-yes understood."

Storm answered trembling to Star Strike’s words.

"Tokisashi serve that one with whole body and soul too."

"Understood."

Tokisashi different from Storm answered lowering the head with accustomed movement.

This already seeming resigned.

"Then relying on these ones."

Star Strike said that to me then without listening to my reply flew toward the depths of the mountain.

"Fuu."

Someone sighed.

No everyone here.

For Tokisashi and Storm seeming a scary existence, and for Heinz and them the existence the dragon fearing so a situation having to hold the breath, probably.

Even me forced Tokisashi and them without yes or no.

A sigh coming out too.

"For now rest here. Hey Beata. How Azreto and them?"

I sat the waist there and asked Beata a little away.

"Uwae wawa eh what??"

Though said that sitting as if the waist pulled out almost in a dazed state, and reacting to my words but seeming not understanding what said.

"How the condition of Azreto and them?"

I at the same time sitting on the ground whether a rush of fatigue came out directed only the face to Beata and asked again.

Ah wanting to lie down.

"R-right a little looking."

Beata answered that and tried to stand up.

But that expression looking painful.

"Fine. Not making injury-like injuries."

Whether unable to watch that Tokisashi sat beside me and said to Beata.

Peeked at Tokisashi’s profile, but this one seeming tired too.

"What."

Tokisashi noticed my gaze.

"No... anyway better doing treatment certain. Sorry at the tired place but minimum fine so please."

"Understood."

Moved the gaze from Tokisashi to Beata and asked again.

Beata answered floating a smile, but that expression fatigue visible hidden.

Because using magic when fighting Storm too the magic remaining little, maybe?

"Even so... what you all? Suddenly attacking us..."

Heinz who was peeking Tokisashi and them’s things sat on the ground as is with a face as if tired from the bottom of the heart and asked Tokisashi.

"Said earlier too because thought you all humans released the crime dragon. Intending to take back to my country and make confess."

So no one dead.

If Tokisashi and Storm Heinz and them of course Azreto and them easily able to kill, probably.

Because not killing without question and answer maybe people able to understand if talking.

No dragons.

Well properly talking until earlier.

...Threatened though.

"Tokisashi’s country a dragon country?"

"Yes right. At the summit of that mountain."

To what I asked Tokisashi answered, but at that time looked at the direction pointed.

Here should be inside the forest, but because Tokisashi and Storm rampaged in dragon form the trees around mowed down, or becoming charcoal and scattered.

For that the view good, but even so if walking a little the dense forest with high trees remaining.

Above the trees of that forest a high mountain towering.

No only looking that way, actually quite far, probably.

Then despite far, and despite here quite high ground further looking high so actually higher than seen.

"Such a place no way us able to go..."

Heinz muttered potsuri.

Beata and Ovnil nodding many times.

I thought that too so nodded.

"..."

Tokisashi averted the gaze awkwardly.
