It was very important that we went around and installed the magic tools at the other mansions .
And we had to do it as soon as possible .
However, we could go after the three of us had finished strengthening Danton’s mansion .
That way, all three of us could go to the other mansions as well .
I said this to the others .
But Mors shook his head .
“But aren’t you all going to go by riding on Her Majesty’s back?”
“We intend to…”
“I cannot ride on her back . ”
“Huh? But I don’t mind at all . Why?”
“No, I surely could not… It would be too disrespectful . ”
Mors said with a deep bow .
I didn’t know much about dragon culture . But apparently, this was the way things were .
“But Kathe says she doesn’t mind? What’s the problem?”
“No, I really cannot do it . ”
“I see . ”
I suppose for dragons, riding on the back of royalty was a big deal .
Still, if I asked a little more harshly, perhaps he would agree to it .
But I didn’t think it was right that I should ask it of him, since I didn’t know much about their culture .
“Well, I suppose I can understand how you feel . Very well . You may as well stay here then . ”
“Understood . ”
Said Kathe, and Mors bowed .
“Alright, Mors . You should continue to strengthen the mansion . ”
“Yes, leave it to me . ”
And then I turned to Danton and said,
“If you could assign someone to us who knows where the mansions are…”
“Oh, right . Wait one moment . ”
And then Danton went and called Shia . Nia and Serulis came as well . They were covered in sweat .
“Shia will take you there . ”
“Yes, leave it to me!”
She smiled as sweat dripped from her .
She had probably been training with Serulis, Nia, and the children .
Kathe looked at her with a serious expression .
“Hmmm . Perhaps you all better take a bath first . ”
“We’re fine!”
Shia said cheerfully . But Kathe replied calmly .
“No . It is very cold up in the sky . And there will be a lot of wind . ”
“I don’t know if a bath is necessary, but you should wipe yourselves off and get changed . You might catch a cold . ”
Kathe and I said . And so they finally agreed .
They ran back to their rooms . And they came back immediately .
They had dried themselves and changed clothes .
“Sorry to keep you waiting . ”
“I’m excited to be able to see the other mansions!”
Serulis said, as if she had been invited to come with us . Not that I had any reason to reject her .
“We’re just going there to install some devices . It’s not going to be very fun…”
“That’s simply not true! Besides, it will be good to know where all the mansions are located . ”
The mansions of beastkin chiefs were places that would become the final fortresses if there was a vampire attack . It was good to know about their locations .
“All right, we’ll all go then . Kathe, when you’re ready . ”
“I know . Just wait one moment . ”
Kathe said as she ran away .
As she was going to turn into a dragon, she had to go somewhere else and take her clothes off .
The rest of us waited outside of Danton’s mansion .
And then a short distance away, Kathe appeared in the form of a dragon .
“Wow!”
“Amazing!”
The kids who had been training said happily as they saw her .
Children liked her better when she was a dragon .
“Sorry to keep you waiting!”
“Yay!”
“Hahaha!”
The kids swarmed around her when she returned .
“Hey, hey! Children . I cannot walk if you do that . ”
Still, Kathe’s tail wagged up and down as if she were happy .
“…How nice . ”
Serulis muttered with a hint of jealousy .
She wished that she were that popular with children .
“Hey! You are disturbing Miss Kathe!”
“Yes, you kids . Settle down and get out of her way . ”
Shia and Danton scolded them . And so the children moved away from Kathe .
Kathe suddenly looked a little sad .
“I am ready now . You can all get on my back . ”
“Yes, thank you . Grulf, you coming? You don’t have to…”
“Groof-groof!”
Grulf quickly jumped up onto Kathe’s back, as if to say that there was no way that he was being left behind .
Kathe sounded amused as she said,
“Ah! So it is Grulf who was the first to climb on top of me . ”
“Groof!”
“Lord Gerberga, please come into my jacket . It will protect you from the wind . ”
“Cluck-cluck . ”
Upon hearing those words, Lord Gerberga jumped into my jacket .
And then the rest of us all climbed onto Kathe’s back .
I had to help Luchila get up, but Shia, Nia, and Serulis could manage it alone .
Once we were all on, Kathe rose up into the air .
“Miss Kathe, the closest one is over there…”
“Ah, yes . I can see it with my own eyes from here!”
Kathe said as she started to fly towards it .
“You must have really good eyes then . ”
“Of course, I do . Your eyes tend to improve if you look down at the ground from high in the sky . ”
“I don’t know if that’s true . Well, eagles do have good eyes . ”
“Yes . ”
Kathe’s tail swayed happily as she flew .
