Chapter 76 – Dragon and Tiger
After talking with Ozma, we joined Camilla who was waiting outside.
As Camilla met her gaze with mine, she replaced her greeting with a slight bow of her head.
I remembered her enthusiastic applause earlier, but she chose not to mention it for the sake of Camilla’s privacy.
She wanted to stop by the dorm for a while and take a shower, but she couldn’t because the time had passed while we were talking.
The dusty clothes were roughly brushed off and covered with a robe, and the mask was removed and placed in the bosom.
‘Come to think of it, this has never fallen off.’
Considering that it clung to her face while she was digesting her violent movements, it could be described as a steel mask indeed.
It’s a normal mask with no magic on it, and it’s high performance.
After getting ready to go out like that, he quietly exits the arena.
Perhaps it was right after the martial arts tournament, the inside of the arena was quiet.
Well, if you’re not a player, there’s no reason to stay here after the event is over.
Thanks to that, we got out much easier and headed to Gav’s mansion, which is said to be on the west side of town.
***
To be honest, I thought the guest accommodations I had been in were pretty good.
When I was living in the kingdom, I had visited the mansions of various nobles and stayed in the guest rooms of the royal castle for a few days, so I thought I was quite used to luxurious things.
However, it seems that my thoughts were too frog in the well.
The mansion he visited at the invitation of Gav was literally the pinnacle of luxury.
The horse is a mansion, the palace itself built of marble.
It was large and magnificent from the entrance, probably with the owner, Gav, working in his original form in mind.
“Welcome. My friends.”
Gav, who walked away while saying that, smiled kindly and put Ozma on my shoulder.
I asked, frowning at the weight I felt on my shoulders.
“Since when did I become friends with Gav?”
“Huh? Originally, don’t men become friends the moment they start a fist fight?”
“I didn’t expect such words to come out of the mouth of a bisexual dragon.”
“Gyahahaha! Your sarcastic skills are very good!”
As Gav said that, he patted me on the back and asked Ozma, who was clearly uncomfortable with me.
“So you’re still mad about that loss? Ozma?”
Then, Ozma replied in a new light.
“It’s not really like that.”
“Ah~ I guess that’s right.”
“Because it’s not.”
“Really?”
“Be persistent!”
Eventually, when Ozma got angry, Gav smiled and ran away and said with a chin.
“First of all, since there are people who are coming for the first time, I’ll give you a rough tour of the mansion. Unfortunately, the meal isn’t ready yet.”
“Ah, if that’s the case, I can wait as long as I can.”
It is a rare opportunity to be able to explore the dragon’s mansion, or dragon lair.
Ozma looked very unwilling, but when she said I would watch it, she didn’t really want to give up.
“Then, I’ll show you my treasured collection first.”
Gav, who said that while rubbing her palms together, took us to the treasure house in the basement of the mansion.
The feeling of awe I felt when I entered the treasure house in the castle of Darkness in the past felt like déjà vu.
It is truly an endless mountain of treasures.
It is well known that dragons love treasure, but it seems that Gav, who looks detached from riches, was no exception to that statement.
“Is there a reason you collect so much wealth?”
When I asked that question out of curiosity, Gav tilted his head in reply.
“Are there any bad things in the world with lots of money?”
It was a very realistic answer for something that came out of a dragon’s mouth.
Well, I don’t collect them just because I like things that sparkle like crows.
It is said that you can usually see the personality of the owner of a house by looking at the storage room, but Gav’s storage room was quite messy.
It has a different feel from the treasure house of the Devil’s Castle, which was displayed in an orderly manner.
It feels a little more primitive, like a typical friend’s home-made room that doesn’t know how to clean.
When I asked how I could find something I was looking for when I was so messy, Gav said it was okay because he remembered everything.
Certainly, only a dragon with a good memory can do this.
If it were me, I wouldn’t remember the location of the socks I took off yesterday, so I’d find them after a month or so while cleaning.
After looking at Gav’s magic book collection, board game collection, coin collection, and tribal war card collection in turn, I left the storage room and headed to the drawing room.
To be honest, he wanted to see more rare cards from hundreds of years ago that he couldn’t find anywhere else, but he couldn’t help but leave with tears in his eyes because he might have to stay up all night to see them all.
On the way to the drawing room, there were art objects lined up along the corridor, but the most noticeable among them were the portraits of successive family heads.
Except for the color of the scales, all of them had the appearance of a land dragon, that is, a Tyrannosaurus, but honestly, I don’t know what the difference is in terms of appearance.
They say blood is thicker than water, because they all look the same.
Is this similar to saying that all Asians look the same to those foreigners?
While walking while looking at the portraits of Tyrannosaurus, full of personality, I suddenly found a portrait with a more colorful nameplate than other portraits.
[2nd Demon King – Tiberius Caesar Divi Augusti Samael]
Well. This Black Tyranno is the Demon King who built that Demon Castle.
I was curious about his human form, but it didn’t seem to be very different from Gabe walking in front of him.
Anyway, on the way to the drawing room, there were all sorts of art and paintings hanging in the hallway, so it wasn’t boring.
“Welcome to.”
The person who appears to be the head of the chamber stands at the front and greets us.
The maids standing next to me tried to take the coat, but I, who was wearing dirty clothes underneath, politely declined and sat down with Gav on the sofa.
Perhaps they prepared the finest tea, and the parlor was filled with a fragrant smell.
The eyes of Camilla, who is a glutton, and Ozma, who likes sweets, were attracted to the dessert tower on the table.
“Kuhm!”
When I cleared my throat in the sense of coming to my senses, Ozma, who finally came to her senses, corrected her posture and sat down.
‘I’m nervous,’ said Camilla, her tail sticking up behind her skirt. It was expressed with her whole body.
Gav, still topless, asked, leisurely savoring the scent of black tea.
“Patrasch, do you know why I invited you to the mansion?”
I tilted my head at the slightly unexpected question.
“Didn’t you just invite me to have a meal?”
Then Gav shook her head with a meaningful smile.
“No, that’s wrong.”
“Then for what reason?”
Instead of answering right away, Gav calmed himself down by taking a sip of tea, then spoke in a serious voice.
“Patrasch, won’t you be my companion?”
“…Yes? Did I hear you wrong?”
Then Gav spoke again with a rather confident attitude.
“Patrasch, be my companion.”
No, fuck
You didn’t hear me wrong?
***
When I put on a look of shock and horror at Gav’s sudden marriage proposal, Ozma, who was next to me, jumped up from his seat.
“That, that thing, what do you mean by that! Why are you suddenly proposing to Patrasche!”
Then Gav answered, closing his eyes.
“I felt as I was beaten by him in today’s match. This man has the most suitable genes to leave a descendant like me.”
“You crazy bastard!”
Ozma’s screams embroider the drawing room.
My mood right now is just like this.
Anyway, I hurriedly persuaded, feeling dizzy at Gav’s declaration that he would openly target his back.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have any kind of homosexual taste. So why don’t you get to know someone else?”
Then Gav tilted his head very calmly and said,
“Is this appearance a problem?
Having said that, his large body was suddenly enveloped in a dazzling light.
Gav’s body, which was originally muscular and bumpy, gradually changed into a soft line.
The strong pectoralis major muscle has changed to a full chest, the waist that was thick like a log has become slim like a gourd, and many other parts have changed to be feminine.
In an instant, Gav, who had changed from a fresh-looking handsome man to a muscular beauty in the style of his older sister, spoke in a captivating voice.
“So how about this look?”
By the way, since he transformed from his upper body naked until just now, his drop-shaped breasts are exposed as they are.
The long hair, like a lion’s mane, covered some of the skin, but it still felt dangerous.
I was conflicted.
To be honest, this is because it was ‘possible’.
However, when it overlapped with the macho Gabe I just saw, I felt that my dignity as a human being was damaged.
Ozma suddenly interrupted and said, probably thinking that he couldn’t just watch the situation while he was agonizing over whether to be me as an intellectual or a beast.
“No! I won’t allow this relationship until I get dirt in my eyes!”
Gav, who changed into a beautiful woman and his voice became enchanting to match, smiled softly and asked.
“Ozma, who are you to tell him this or that?”
Then Ozma, who fell for her Gav’s provocation, shouted with an angry expression.
“Me and Patrasche are already engaged!”
Yes?
Me?
I was taken aback by Ozma’s sudden announcement, and I turned her head away from where she was sitting.
