It was troublesome that we had to take the carriage to the pasture . Still, it was rare for Nii-sama, Nico and I to ride in a carriage together, so it was fun .
“I’ve never really been out of the castle . ”
“Nico, you came tho my debuth thhe othher day . ”
“Hmm, I haven’t done that in a long time . ” Nico nodded in satisfaction .
“If that hadn’t happened, then I wonder when I would have gone out next . ”
“But, Your Highness Nico, the castle is huge, isn’t it?” Nii-sama looked as if he was thinking about the castle .
“Hmm . I went to the space between the barrier the other day, but even if it’s big, I can’t go wherever I want . ”
“That’s true . ”
“There are roomsh thhath lei doeshn’th wnow abouth in her houshe thoo . ” (There are rooms Lei doesn’t know about in her house too)
Come to think of it, I haven’t been everywhere in the mansion . I also only found out the other day that there was a room leading to the greenhouse . In the first place, I go to the castle like Otou-sama, so I don’t have time to explore .
Now that I think about it, aren’t I working too hard?
“What’s wrong Lei? You’re pouting . ”
“I’m noth . ”
Rude . I crossed my arms . I won’t accept it if someone tells me I am .
“Lei mighth be worwing thoo much . ” (Lei might be working too much)
“Working too hard… Guhh . ”
“Nii-syama…”
I looked at Nii-sama coldly as he held his stomach and laughed .
Nico nodded, and said heavily, “Hm, we aren’t working, but I think we can take more breaks . ”
“Thath’sh righth!”
I unfolded my crossed arms and raised my right hand . I agree .

“Puha . ”
“Luke…”
Nico also looked at Nii-sama coldly .
Two young infants were staring at him coldly, but Nii-sama didn’t stop laughing for a while . He’s at an age when even the slightest thing seems funny . Is he going through puberty?
We reached the ranch while we were talking .
I wanted to jump off the carriage, but I patiently waited for Hans to help me down . I can’t take away his job as a guard .
Then I ran towards the pasture with Nico and stopped at the fence .
“Lei wiww caww her dragon now . ” (Lei will call her dragon now)
“Oh! I’m excited!”
I arrogantly turned towards the fence and cried out in a loud voice, “Minnie!”
“Kyee . ”
“Kyee . ”
“Kyee . ”
The Rug Dragons quickly gathered before me . Of course, Minnie was there too .
“Wow Lei . I didn’t think you had that many Minnies . ” Nico looked at me in admiration . Of course I don’t have that many Minnies .
“You’re wrong . Ith’sh thhath shmaww one thhere . ” (You’re wrong . It’s that small one there)
“O-oh . Really?”
“Kyee . ” The Rug Dragon looked at Nico and said something .
“Kyee . ”
“Kyee . ”
“Kyee . ”
“Wh-what’s wrong?”

She would smell the fence as she squealed and sometimes pressed her head against it . Nico was puzzled . I felt like she was saying that there were more small children now and she was wondering if he was healthy .
Nico was a little scared but he didn’t try to run away .
“Do thhish ath thimesh wiwe thhish . ” (Do this at times like this)
I held the head of the dragon who was pressing their head and nose against me .
“Kyee . ”
Good child, the dragon left while blowing out their nose .
“Like this?”
Nico boldly put his arms around the Rug Dragon’s head .
“Kyee . ”
“Kyee . ”
“Kyee . ”
You pass, I felt like I heard them say .
“Dragonsh are nice creathuresh . ” (Dragons are nice creatures)
“Kyee . ”
The dragons, who were checking Nico out, left in satisfaction, and Minnie, who remained behind sighed .
Enough, everyone won’t remember that I’m Minnie, you say?
I feel like they do remember, and they just come anyway…
By the way, I always wonder this, but what is Nico’s guard doing? I turned around in doubt, and he was frozen with his arms still stretched forward .
“What are you doing?” Even Hans is amazed .
“No, I can’t predict what would happen when Nicholas-sama and Lei-sama are together . ”
“Enough of your excuses . Pull it together . ”
“Yes . ”

Oh my, Hans is cool .
“Lei-sama, you don’t understand why I’m the perfect guard for you, do you?”
I thought he was just someone who laughed too much .
However, Nii-sama gave out instructions and a basket was attached to Minnie’s back . Nii-sama explained to Nico’s guard, “Lei and I have ridden this dragon many times to see if it was safe to ride . Hans . ”
“Yes, Luke-sama . When Lei-sama and Luke-sama use this basket, I always accompany them on a good dragon, but nothing happened, and we didn’t have any close calls either . ”
“If Luke-sama and Hans-dono say so…”
The guard agreed to let Nico into the basket . Not in a carriage, but in the basket . My first basket ride wasn’t made of good memories, but I think this experience will be nice for Nico .
Even if the string was tightly attached to us, we could still see around us clearly .
“Oh! Wow! Minnie, you’re cool!”
“Kyeeee . ”
So you know I am, Minnie cried out and glanced at me .
“Of courshe Minnie ish coow . ”
“Kyee . ”
Well, yeah . Minnie raised her head and waited for the signal .
“Ai . Minnie, go!”
“Kyee . ”
Minnie proceeded pretentiously .
“Ooh!! It’s high! Lei . ”
“Ai . The wind feewsh nice . ”
Nii-sama rode on his own dragon and happily ran beside us while the guards stayed a distance away .
And, other dragons were following us too .
“Minnie, run!”
“Kyee . ”
Even if I told her to run, she only marched faster, but it was noticeably quicker .
“She’s fast! Hahaha!”
Minnie, who ran smoothly along the fence, returned half-way to the start, then did another round on her own and stopped when she got back to the starting point . She ran her normal course without me having to say anything and didn’t seem tired .
When Minnie came back with us, the dragons seemed satisfied and scattered around the pasture .
“That was amazing . ”
“Ith fewth good . ”
Nico’s guard watched as we ran around after we got out of the basket and sweated even though it was still cold .
“This is my first time experiencing this . I knew that dragons gathered together, but they bunched together as if they were protecting Lei-sama and Nicholas-sama . ”
“It’s surprising, isn’t it?”
Hans slapped the guard’s shoulder .
“I didn’t know what was happening before I realised that they were protecting the two and panicked . ”
It is said that dragons don’t attack anything . But, their bodies are big so if you get trampled on or bumped, then you’ll get serious injuries, and it’s exciting to be in the group . The guard was probably unsettled .
“Lei-sama, if you feel sorry for the guard, then you should behave yourself a bit . ”
“Lei awwaysh doesh . ”
What are you saying to a baby who can only totter? Of course, tottering is just a metaphor and I’m not actually tottering .
“Ever since Lei-sama came, I feel more nervous than an ordinary guard . ”
Is there a normal guard and an abnormal guard?
“Once more! I want to ride once more!”
“Oway . ”
I acted a bit pretentiously, and cheerfully rode the basket again with Nico .
“Those two and Luke both look like they’re ready to go to Farland . As expected of my grandchildren . ”
We didn’t notice that the adults, who had come to the pasture, were staring at us from a distance and that Ojii-sama was nodding in satisfaction .
