I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 164 - She Likes Dragons

Chapter 164 - She Likes Dragons

[……I- I see. T- That means that this is what’s going to happen? In exchange for handing over the baby dragon to Miyama-san, the D- D- Dragon King-sama…… will make a contract with us and send his subordinates to us?]
[Yes.]
[……I’m sorry. It’s just that my head refuses to understand.]
When I returned from the Demon Realm and explained the situation, Driver-san looked bewildered as she muttered.
[……M- Miyama-san, you’re acquainted with Dragon King-sama?]
[Y- Yes, well.]
……It’s not just Magnawell-san, but I think I would know what would happen to Driver-san if I told her the truth. Trust me, I have experienced it from Lilia-san’s reaction in the past.
Seeing me nod, Driver-san remained stunned for a while before she spoke.
[……That would certainly make us grateful. Or rather, making us extremely grateful…… I’m quite grateful that Dragon King-sama is sending his subordinates to us, but having a direct connection with Dragon King-sama isn’t something you could be measured with money!]
[Is that so?]
[Yes, the Dragon King-sama is like a god to the peddlers and to us who belong in Flying Dragons industry. Including me, many merchants carry around decorations symbolizing a dragon as good luck charms.]
Apparently, after Magnawell-san gifted multiple monsters to humanity and created the foundation of the Flying Dragon Services, he has received immense faith as a God of Commerce.
It seems that having a direct connection with Magnawell-san is a promise of success for businessmen, and that’s why there are many people who seek to have connections with him.
[If it’s alright with you then…… He said he would send an envoy in the near future.]
[Yes, I understand. Well then, once that contract is signed, I promise to hand over the baby dragon to Miyama-san.]
[Thank you very much.]
[Kyuii!]
Incidentally, it seems that Driver-san is also the person in charge of this Flying Dragon Services, so she also has the right to make decisions.
Therefore, if Driver-san agrees to it, it can be said that the decision to acquire the baby dragon is made once the contract with Magnawell-san is completed.
And, as if the baby dragon could also understand, it happily looked up towards me.
[Unnn. With this, I can take you with me the next time I visit.]
[Kyuii! Kyuukyuu~~]
[Ahaha, that tickles—]
As if she’s really happy, the baby dragon rubs her face against my cheek, fawning towards me.
Being soothed by her very cute appearance, and after using my Teleportation Magic Tool one time to tell Magnawell-san the result of our conversation, I decided to play with the baby dragon for the remaining time.
[……And so, that’s how it is…….]
[……Haahhh…… Just when I thought you’d already encountered all the Six Kings along with the most powerful Gods…… You started reaching out your hands to monsters this time huh……]
In front of me, who was explaining to her what happened, Lilia-san lets out a sigh with a dumbfounded expression on her face.
I was prepared if she gets angry, so I just sincerely requested her but…… She doesn’t seem to be as angry as I thought she would be.
[I would have been if it’s as big as Bell, but if it’s only a baby dragon, it’s not like we would need a new shed for her. Besides, Kaito-san seems to be taking good care of Bell, so there shouldn’t be any problem. You can keep her.]
[Eh? No, but if you’re saying it like that, Sieg-san is the one taking care of Bell more……]
[No, I was just only around Bell-chan to play with him though? It’s mostly Kaito-san who does most of the feeding and brushing……]
I was grateful to Lilia-san for easily agreeing to keep the baby dragon, but since Sieg-san is largely responsible for taking care of Bell, I was somewhat apologetic as I replied, but Sieg-san interposed there.
[No, Sieg-san taught me lots of things, and it’s like I’m only helping her while Sieg-san is the one taking the lead.]
[No, I’m just there to make suggestions and help a bit. It’s Kaito-san who’s also walking him and……]
[……I guess I understand now what people meant when they said how two different people resemble each other.]
As I’m having that conversation with Sieg-san that seems like we won’t be agreeing on something any sooner, Lilia-san looks dumbfounded again while she mutters.
With those words, the conversation is interrupted once, but soon, Sieg-san turns to me with sparkling eyes.
[However, for a baby dragon to be next just after Bell-chan…… This is quite the happiness. The white dragon’s scales are as beautiful as pearls, and I think its baby-doll eyes are very cute! Ahh, speaking of which, what’s the name of the baby dragon?]
[I heard her name is Lindwurm, so we’ll call her Lynn.]
[Lynn-chan huh…… What a lovely name. Being able to keep a child like her…… Kaito-san, that’s fantastic!]
The animal-loving Sieg-san’s excitement seems to be very high already, and she’s somewhat excitedly looking forward to the arrival of the baby dragon…… Lynn.
I’m sure she must have seen her when we went to the Sacred Tree Festival before, but at that time, she was more concerned about us who were riding flying dragons for the first time, and was desperately holding herself back.
[……Sieg, I’m just saying this now, but don’t bring her into your room.]
[……Eh? Even though I was holding back when it comes to Bell-chan……]
[That’s no good!? Or rather, you’re probably still sleeping in Bell’s cabin just with a pillow every now and then……]
[……But Bell-chan is so fluffy and cute, you know?]
[……That’s not the point here.]
It seems that Sieg-san’s love for animals is that staunch, and although I didn’t know it, she had slept in Bell’s cabin a few times.
It’s true that Bell’s fur is fluffy, and since I’m not skimping on brushing him, his fur really feels great to touch but….. Sieg-san…… You even tried to lead him into your room!? Bell is almost 5 meters wide, so how is she planning to……
[……My Lady, is that really something you can tell others of?]
[!? W- What are you talking about? Luna……]
[You just agreed to keeping her this time, but I wonder why you agreed so quickly?]
[T- T- That is…… Because unlike Bell, the baby dragon is small……
Arehh? That’s kind of a clunky answer she has there…… It’s quite clear on her face, but I wonder if she’s trying to deceive us? Lilia-san isn’t the kind of person who can lie after all……
Well, however, it certainly is as she says, she just quickly agreed, and I feel there’s something out of place about it.
In fact, until I started talking to her, I was prepared that she would be saying complaints or start scolding me but……
[Ahh, speaking of which, Lili……]
[Sieg!?]
[Eh? What do you mean by that?]
For some reason, Sieg-san also seemed to have clapped her hands, as if she understood something, while I, the only one who didn’t understand what’s happening, just tilted my head.
Thereupon, Lunamaria-san turned to me and gave me the answer why.
[……My Lady likes dragons.]
[L- Luna!?]
[Eh? Is that so?]
[Yes, even the family crest of Albert Duchy is of the symbol of a dragon…… And though it’s too late to say this, even when we were about to go to the Sacred Tree Festival…… My Lady could have asked the Court Mage to arrange for Teleportation Magic to bring us there. The reason why we went there with flying dragons is that she just wanted to ride one.]
[………………..]
I was wondering if Lunamaria-san’s words were spot on, but when I turned to Lilia-san, she seemed to have averted her gaze, looking out towards the direction of the day after tomorrow.
Back when we were about to go to the Sacred Tree Festival, I still didn’t know much about Teleportation Magic, but if we could use Teleportation Magic, it’s certainly faster to use it.
And so, the reason why she easily agreed to keep Lynn this time is because she’s a dragon…… Or rather, the reason why she warned Sieg-san not to bring her into her room…… is probably that she wants to bring her into her room herself……
[……I mean…… aren’t dragons…… really cool……]
Still with her gaze turned away, Lilia-san muttered with a slight blush on her cheeks…… Making her look so cute. Maybe it’s because she’s usually so calm, but seeing this gap feels…… calming? No, that isn’t the case huh……
(T/N: Gap, as in gap moe.)
[Kaito-san?]
[N- No, I’m not saying anything!?]
As if she could see through my thoughts, she glanced at me while my body flusteredly straightened.
Lunamaria-san doesn’t seem to care about that at all though, as she turns to Lilia-san and speaks.
[One of the things My Lady won’t concede with is that Dragon King-sama is the one with the best appearance among the Six Kings. However, that’s something I don’t agree with.]
[Isn’t it obvious that the majestic appearance of Dragon King-sama makes him the best of them all!!!?]
[No, Underworld King-sama’s loveliness is unrivalled!]
[……Why did you suddenly start quarreling……]
For some reason, a debate breaks out between Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san about who looks best among the Six Kings, and they both begin passionately talking about how great their endorsed king is.
Lilia-san seems to really like dragons, and talks about how majestic Magnawell-san is.
From my point of view though, Magnawell-san is, well…… Today, before I went home, he gave me a scale again, saying that it’s my allowance, and he loves to talk. Magnawell-san had the image of a grandfather for me.
Though if I had to pick on which side I am, I would go with Lunamaria-san’s side…… I think Kuro is the best…… Well, that would only add fuel to the fire, so let’s just shut up here.
[……Kaito-san.]
[Unnn? What is it, Sieg-san?]
[I’ll take good care of them, so please bring more monsters. I’d also like to have a funny rabbit.]
[………………..]
And just as they were arguing, Sieg-san was still the same as ever. Her sparkling eyes were so pretty that I almost reflexively said yes, but I somehow managed to keep myself from speaking.
Dear Mom, Dad—— the conversation went well, as Lilia-san agreed to keep Lindwurm, the baby dragon. And also, I didn’t know it until now, but Lilia-san——she apparently likes dragons.

Keeping the baby dragon…… Lynn seemed to be settled already, and with Bell by her side, their combination would be working together as mascots from hereafter…… or it should have been?
Sieg…… loves all kinds of animals very much.
Lilia…… loves dragons.
Lunamaria…… is a zealot for the Underworld King.
Sieg is the only one at peace.
Lilia actually didn’t pass out this time!?
She knows that Kaito has already met all the Six Kings and the Supreme Gods, so there shouldn’t be anyone that would make her pass out……….. ……….Ah.
