Chapter 236
And so it was settled . Serulis and Shia would accompany us .
However, Kathe brought her face close to mine .
“Hmm . Hmm . ”
“What? Your face is so close . ”
“So, Locke . You didn’t know about the saying of how we throw cute children into the tiger’s hole . ”
“Apparently, it’s a dragon thing . I hadn’t known about it . ”
“Hehe . ”
She looked very smug for some reason .
Dorgo came up behind her and bonked her on the head .
Though, it didn’t look like it would hurt .
“That’s quite enough . Don’t get carried away . ”
“…I know . ”
“Mister Locke . I’m so sorry that my daughter is so stupid . ”
“Oh, it’s nothing . ”
But Kathe didn’t seem to care that Dorgo was angry . And she quickly moved her attention over to the teleportation circle .
“It’s quite big, but still much too small for me to fit in . ”
“Indeed . And we don’t know the size of the building on the other side either . ”
But then again, so many vampires had flooded out from it . They would hardly have come from a small room .
Still, I was not sure it was big enough for the wind dragon ruler .
“Perhaps I should enter my human form . ”
“Kathe . You will stay at the mansion . ”
“But, dad! I’m very strong!”
“And I am still stronger . You stay here and be quiet . ”
“I want to go . You’re the one who should stay here . ”
“No…”
“Yes . Yes, you should!”
The two talked for a while after that . Then they finally turned towards me at the same time .
“We have decided to let you pick, Locke . ”
“Mister Locke . I leave the decision to you . ”
“I see…”
Both of them were strong in battle .
However, when considering experience and good judgment, Dorgo was superior .
And so I made my decision .
“Mister Dorgo . Would it be alright if you stayed here?”
“Hehehehe! Good for you, Locke! That is the right decision!”
“…May I ask you the reason?”
“It’s because you are more capable of handling unexpected situations . ”

As I would be going through the teleportation circle, the others could follow my lead .
However, people who were left here would have to decide for themselves .
Considering that it was very possible, I would rather have Dorgo here than Kathe .
“I see . That is understandable . ”
It seemed that Dorgo understood my intentions .
“You are very smart, Locke . Now, I will go and turn human!”
Kathe didn’t seem to understand that it didn’t put her in the best light . But it was better that way .
She now ran off in order to transform .
A little while ago, she would do it when there were other people present .
But Serulis and Luchila had scolded her .
She was starting to understand human culture .
Dorgo watched her leave and then said,
“Please take care of my daughter . ”
“Yes . But she is really strong . So I’ll probably be the one that is protected . ”
“As her father, it makes me very happy to hear you say that, Mister Locke . ”
As we talked, Kathe returned to us in human form .

“Sorry to keep you waiting . ”
“That was fast . ”
“Transforming and getting changed is easy!”
After looking at her, I could see what she meant .
It was similar to a poncho .
“He-hey! Kathe!”
“What is it, Serulis?”
Serulis looked a little frantic as she pulled Kathe away .
“That’s not something to wear to battle…”
“Refi might disagree . ”
Goran and Eric muttered .
As Kathe was not wearing anything under it, it would hardly be decent .
“I’m so sorry . My daughter is so stupid . ”
“Well, we have different cultures . ”
I chuckled to the mortified Dorgo .
Then Serulis and Kathe returned . This time, she was wearing normal clothes .
It looked like what Serulis was wearing but in a different color .

“It’s fine now . Sorry to keep you waiting . ”
“Are you wearing Serulis’s clothes?”
“Yes!”
“You’re very prepared . ”
“I have lots of clothes in my magic bag . ”
That was the daughter of Morton for you . She was an F-Rank Adventurer but had an expensive magic bag .
“It suits you, Kathe . ”
“Do you think so? Hmm . It feels a little small to me . ”
Kathe said as she tried stretching it .
“I don’t think so . Besides, it will be easier to move around in . ”
“I see . Thank you, Serulis . ”
Kathe seemed satisfied .
“So, it will be me, Kathe, Goran and Eric who will go . Oh, and Shia and Serulis . ”
“Groof!”
“You want to go too?”
“Groof-groof!”
“Alright, you can come . ”
And so it was settled .
