Vol. 3 - Chapter 124 - Katariona Uses the Dragon Whistle to Summon the Dragon God Clan
That night, we gathered at the remote house where we were staying and decided to leave for Shinano early the following morning.
The problem was transportation. It would take us a week to get there, even if we kept switching horses.
"In that case, why don\'t we just use the dragon whistle that the dragon princess gave to you?"
Leon suggested something outrageous as he munched on a steamed bun next to the troubled Tojurou-san.
"You\'re not seriously saying that we should ride atop of Sylphy-sama and Ron-sama, are you?"
"No, that\'s right. Dragons are the fastest creatures in the world. We will be able to reach our destination in less than half a day."
Sure enough, he wants to use Sylphy-sama and Ron-sama as taxicabs.
"You can fly too, can\'t you Fluffy-kun?"
"I can, but I can\'t carry more than two people."
Leon sat on my lap and takes the flute pendant hanging around my neck to his mouth and blew. Huh? There is no sound?
However, just as that thought crossed my mind I heard the sound of wings outside my room, the sliding door was opened and the Sylphy-sama flew in.
"Yurie! You called for me?"
In the blink of an eye, Sylphy-sama arrived. Ron-sama came slithering in from behind. He looked extremely moody.
Did I call at a bad time?
It seems that Sylphy-sama and Ron-sama were stretching their wings at a hot spring resort a short distance from the capital.
"Leon, you! Are you treating us as a cab? You\'ll pay for this!"
Upon hearing what had happened, Ron-sama\'s face turned into that of a dragon, as he lashed out at Leon. Scary.
"What do you want?"
"Fifty rice balls!"
The one who offered the price was Sylphy-sama.
"Sylphy! That\'s too cheap!"
"I\'ll also give you free admission to the candy fair!"
"I accept!"
Surprisingly, it was Ron who agreed to Tojurou-san\'s proposal. So simple. And cheap!
"Don\'t you think their fees are a tad cheap?"
Chris looked a little apprehensive.
"No, not at all. When we asked them to guard our ship, we paid them a fee befitting an S-class adventurer."
Kikuno-sama smiled and offered Ron-sama a steamed bun.
Returning to his human face, Ron ate the buns in silence. Despite his scary appearance, he has a sweet tooth, doesn\'t he?
It was still early in the morning before the first ray of dawn, and I was rubbing my sleepy eyes preparing for our departure.
We were going to ride on a dragon, after all. It would be better to leave early in the morning when there are fewer people around.
We decided that Ron-sama, who was in dragon form, would be ridden by Leon, Tojurou-san, and me, while Chris and Kikuno-sama would ride Sylphy-sama.
Ron-sama, in his black dragon form, was a size larger than Sylphy-sama.
"Then let\'s get going. I\'ve put up a barrier around me, but hold on tight just in case."
Ron-sama spread his black wings and ascended into the sky. In the blink of an eye, the cityscape lit up with a few lights, became smaller and smaller, and then disappeared from sight.
Once we reached the top of the clouds, we started moving at breakneck speed. As expected of the world\'s fastest dragon tribe.
I was grateful to find that there was almost no air resistance thanks to the barrier that had been created.
"Ron-sama, I\'m sorry for dragging you into this."
"Don\'t worry about it. It was for the sake of the swee. ...... Ghahem! For my friend Sylphy."
You\'re only here for the free admission to the confectionary fair, I see. I understand.
"Most definitely! I would like to throw Leon out right now, though."
"What? If you throw me out, you won\'t be able to eat the limited edition sweets at the fair!"
How can a god be enticed by sweets?
"By the way, Yurie. I heard you found the Transfer Gate?"
"Yes, I did. However, the exit point is broken, so I\'m going to try to link the portal to another point. ......"
"I see. Well, if you\'d like, I can connect the transfer point for you."
"I can\'t ask you to do that much!"
Even if it\'s just for the sake of finding Komataro the Spirit Dog, he\'s already helped us this much. And above all, I want to restore the transfer gate with my own efforts.
When I expressed my thoughts to Ron-sama, he only muttered, "I see."
TL: Uh-huh. Ron-sama’s surprisingly a bit of a tsundere…… huh. Or maybe…all the gods we’ll meet will have a sweet tooth. Would like to see one who isn’t crazy about food and sweets. (though I guess Kikuno-sama is technically considered a god, who fits the criteria~?) Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter and happy reading~! ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ
