Chapter 196
The next day, we started our travel towards Shia’s old home .
While leaving the mansion, Philly, Milka, Eric, Goran, and Dorgo saw us off at the door .
“Well, I’m sure you’ll be safe, but don’t let your guard down . ”
“Don’t worry . ”
“Locke . Give my regards to Danton . ”
“I will . Also, Eric and Goran . Look after Philly and Milka while I’m away . ”
“Leave it to us . I will keep an eye on them . ”
My mansion was very close to the palace if you used the secret passage .
I would be very relieved if Eric made sure they were okay .
I gave Philly and Milka communication bracelets as well .
“If something happens, call me with this . ”
“I know . ”
“I understand!”
“And it doesn’t have to be anything serious . It would be worse if you didn’t think something was important and it turned out to be much worse . ”
“Okay . Got it!”
“If you’re not sure, just call . ”
“Don’t worry . I understand . ”
“You help protect them too, Tama . ”
“Woof!”
Tama was very reliable .
And then I turned to Dorgo .
“Please help look after them . ”
“I will do what I can . And Mister Locke…I hope you will do the same for my daughter . ”
“If anything, I will be the one helping him . ”
“You’re one to talk . ”
Kathe said confidently, but Dorgo was quick to object .
After that, we walked to the outskirts of the royal capital .
As we were quite a crowd, the guards were surprised at first, but they let us through .
Then we walked a little further until there was some distance between us and the city .
This was so Kathe could transform into a dragon .
“Alright, alright . ”
“Hey, Miss Kathe, what are you doing!?”
“AHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
Serulis and Luchila looked embarrassed as Kathe started to get undressed .
“Turn around Mister Locke!”
When I turned around, Grulf also turned around .
Adventurers usually didn’t care about nudity .
When on the road, people often had to change and bathe in the same place .
As a B-Rank Adventurer, Shia did not react . Neither did Nia .
Perhaps it was because Nia was raised among so many other Adventurers .

“Hmm? Why are you so flustered, Serulis?”
Kathe said to her dumbly .
“To get naked in front of a man! It is a disgrace!”
“Is that so? It must be tough being human . ”
“You must be careful when in human form!”
“Alright . I understand . ”
Kathe seemed satisfied enough with this .
And then she turned into a dragon .
“Mister Locke . It’s fine now . ”
“Got it . ”
“Groof!”
Kathe was covering her face with her hands .
“This-this is so embarrassing . ”
“But you are a dragon . ”
“Bu-but…”
“And we’ve already seen you as a dragon . ”
“It got embarrassing when I started thinking about it . :
“…I see . ”

I didn’t quite understand dragons . But I’m sure I’d get used to it .
And with that, we got onto Kathe’s back .
It wasn’t the first time that Shia, Nia, Grulf, And Lord Gerberga had ridden on her .
Though, Shia and Nia still looked a little nervous . Grulf was quick and careful as he climbed up .
It’s your first time, isn’t it Luchila and Serulis?”
“Ye-yes . ”
“Oh, yes . ”
“Just say if you need any help climbing up . ”
“I’m fine!”
Serulis hopped up and pulled herself to the top .
She was strong because she trained every day .
“It’s probably hard for you, Luchila?”
“I’m sorry . ”
I picked up Luchila while Lord Gerberga was perched on my shoulder . Then I got onto Kathe’s back .
“Now, you are all on . I am going to fly now so hold on tight to my scales . ”
Kathe rose into the air a little slower than usual .
She was being considerate of Luchila and Serulis .
And then she slowly gained speed as she flew .

“AHHH!”
Luchila clutched my arm in terror .
Serulis also looked very tense as she held on to the scales .
Shia and Nia also looked a little nervous .
“Do you know where it is, Kathe?”
“Of course, I do . I saw it on a map . ”
We were traveling slowly by Kathe’s standards . By the time twenty minutes had passed, we could see lots of people below us .
There were probably about 500 in all .
There were old people and children too . It wasn’t just warriors .
“Is that…”
“It is the beastkin tribe . ”
“Your tribe is that big, Shia?”
“No, ours is about 100 people… Perhaps neighboring tribes have come as well . ”
“They must have come to greet us!”
Shia and Nia smiled .
“I’m going to land now!”
So saying, Kathe slowly started to descend .
Danton stood in front of the crowd of people and waved happily .
