Chapter 46
As Anne continued to embrace her, Hesty explained their relations.h.i.+p to Dianeia and I.
「So you mean to say that Anne is this black dragon king Hesty?」
「Yes. Her full name is Anne t.i.tus Hydra (TN: This is where she got Taidra/Tidra from in Ch.38.5). She is a dragon king like me. For a little while, I looked after her, and from then, I knew her.」
Looked after her a little bit huh? If it was only a little why is she so devoted to you?
「That’s absolutely right! How many times do you think I was saved by Sister-sama!!?」
Anne said as she crushed Hesty further between her huge b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
But Hesty scowled and thrust her face to the side.
「Annoying…!」
Wow, I wouldn’t have expected the good and obedient Hesty to be making such a clear and fierce rejection.
This is something very rare. Then,
「Ahh it hurts! But it feels so good Aneue-sama (Elder Sister-sama)! Push me away more! The stronger the better!」
She turned pretty extreme in a strange direction.
From our first meeting I got the impression that she was a beautiful older sister type…but that impression has been destroyed completely and utterly.
In response to Hesty’s resistance she’s been blus.h.i.+ng with joy. This might belong in the category in teasing your loved one but…
「She turned from someone who seemed very sensible into something outrageous.」
Starting with my first impression of Hesty and now Anne…is my common sense sensor on the fritz?
No! The dragon kings’ should have been concealing their true natures when we first met…yeah that should be the case.
「…….oh yeah. Did you know about this Dianeia?」
I turned my gaze towards Dianeia who seemed to be terribly worried.
「For the Fort City’s Deputy Director to be a dragon king….what should I do? Should I report it? No…where would I report it to…..that seems a bit….」
Her face was pale and she was murmuring and whispering.
It seems like everyone had their share of problems.
She looks like she’s mulling over something so I’ll let her be.
When I looked over to Anne and Hesty…
「Haa, how satisfying.」
Hesty had been liberated from Anne’s hold.
「…….sweltering.」
「Good job…」
Hesty approached me unsteadily as if she was dizzy.
It was truly rare for her to have such an exhausted look about her.
As if in reverse, Anne was filled with good cheer. She
「Sorry to interrupt you while your basking in the afterglow Anne, but why is a dragon king such as yourself acting as the Fort City’s Deputy Director?」
I wonder if she’s planning a takeover of the fort city? If so then that’d be a big problem…but I’d be grateful if I don’t get caught up in such a troublesome situation.
As I thought that, Anne shook her head with a smile.
「No no, I wasn’t thinking of doing such a thing. My main occupation is just selling items. After acting like Aneue-sama…making and selling items over and over, I somehow ended up with that position.」
「…..Anne, is a child who became a dragon king, without even realizing it. She, raised her status without realizing it.」
Can you really become the top of a city just like that? That fort city is amazing in more ways than one.
But still, Hesty is a famous mage and Anne is the Deputy Director of the Fort City…as dragon kings aren’t they mixing in a little too well with humans?
However, it’s good that she’s as harmless as Hesty said.
「Haa, all things considered, it is truly my good fortune that I was able to meet Aneue-sama……..haa…….haa…….」
「— —」
When Hesty saw Anne begin to pant strangely, she hid behind me.
It seems like she’s really not good at dealing with her.
…..oh that’s right. I get it, this is why Hesty said that she’s ‘basically harmless’ and not ‘completely harmless’.
「This child is pa.s.sionate, serious, harmless, and very sensible…only this inclination of hers makes her, no good. I can accept, a certain amount of, this type of damage…but that suffocating sweltering crus.h.i.+ng…I can’t, handle.」
So she says.
But indeed…if you exclude the damage to Hesty, she’s pretty much harmless.
Alright then, I get it.
「*slurp*……haaa……oh, that’s no good. I was so lost in my satisfaction that I forgot myself (lost control). I did not come here only to meet Aneue-sama.」
After wiping away her drool, Anne fixed her appearance.
「Daichi-sama. I am glad that I was able to meet you here. If Aneue-sama is with you then I can be relieved. For us dragons it is a great fortune to meet a man as strong as yourself.」
「O-oh. I see.」
「Indeed. I truly wished to experience (bask in) your strength…..but I’ll leave that aside for today. Thank you very much for receiving me!」
And as she said that, Anne left alone while smiling.
「…..uhhhh…..first I need to figure out her true goal, then from there….」
Dianeia kept whispering without realizing that she’d been left behind…well I think I can just leave her be.
How should I put this? I feel like all that that black haired big breasted thing came here to do was to hug a loli.
「Are you okay Hesty? You’ve got a serious look on your face.」
「n…..I wonder what that, child came to do…..」
「Yeah, I wonder if she’ll come again…」
Hesty’s firm expression twitched.
「It’s okay. If there are any problems, you can come running to me.」
「n, thank you. I’ll take you up on that….」
It seems like the number of visitors to my house is set to increase in the near future.
