Chapter 231: Enlarging Building and Increasing Knowledge
A few days after we returned from the Resort.
Maybe it was because it had been a while since I was home, I had spent most of my time lazing around indoors…
「My house has been getting pretty humongous recently…」
The consequence of my lazing about inside was the explosive growth of my house…into a tower.
I stood in the garden as I stared up at my home.
「Indeed! Recently we’ve been full of vigor!」
Sakura said with a small smile as she blushed.
Nothing much had changed and I was living my normal life…but somehow Sakura had been in high spirits ever since we returned.
Thanks to that it had only been a few days and we had ended up in this situation.
「Isn’t this a new record?」
「Yes! My feelings as a home, my feelings as a spirit, and your power all came together to form this. Master’s power is amazingly wonderful….!」
Sakura said with a flushed face as she pressed her hands against her chest.
It was a face of contentment.
「……umm sure. I’m fairly happy that I’ve gotten more floors to work with. For now I should think of ways to use them.」
For this purpose I had walked out into the garden.
I had some ideas like burying them underground or making them into separate residences, but I hadn’t decided on it.
At present, the top floor which contained my living space now had an incredible view. That was all well and good, but it was so tall I had trouble calming myself.
「…….I could make a different tower with a viewing platform. Un, that kind of thing might be nice.」
「I’m glad you’re having fun with this. As you keep thinking I’ll go make some tea.」
「Okay thanks.」
Sakura made her way back inside as I continued thinking about how to structure my home. Then….
「Waa~ Daichi-san’s house has become incredible~」
I heard Ramiyuros’s voice from out in the garden.
She flew down next to me.
「Ramiyuros huh? It’s rare to see you flying about…what’s up?」
「Well I haven’t been flying much lately~. I was practicing for my rehabilitation….but then I saw how huge your house became and wanted to see for myself…..though I got surprised by that wave and fell a bit.」
I could see leaves stuck to her here and there.
「Ummm sorry about that.」
「No don’t worry~. My flying technique isn’t back to what it was~ I usually fly really high up because my body is so heavy~ My strength hasn’t returned fully yet.」
「Ahh, now that I remember it, you used to fly almost all the time Ramiyuros.」
Ever since she had splendidly crashed right into the center of town the impression of her flying had grown thin, however originally she was a Dragon King whose domain was high altitude flight.
「That’s right~ Originally I was looking after the Sky Dungeon where the atmosphere is pretty thin.」
「What kind of place is the Sky Dungeon?」
「It’s a pretty safe place. It doesn’t have a Dungeon Master. It’s pretty lively and fun…..but there are little things like slimes that chew on you.」
「Little things like that made you crash…」
「Ahahaha…..well we used to have another Dragon King floating up there so I never had to be very careful.」
Ramiyuros reminisced as she gazed up at the sky.
「The other one…was Hesty?」
「Uh-uh, it was a different one. It was a fairly new one who I was looking after for a while. But they said they had things to do in a country on the ground so….I lost track of them.」
「Huh, there was a Dragon King like that……actually I’ve been wondering if Dragon Kings have a community-like living style?」
Hesty and Anne had a strong relationship and Ramiyuros was also amongst their group. My thoughts were dispelled by Ramiyuros shaking her head.
「Nope, it’s a custom for older Dragon Kings to look after the new ones. It’s just that there are different ways of succession. There are those that choose based on power, those that choose their own successor, and those that are hereditary.」
「Is that so? It seems like Dragon King society has its interesting points.」
「Waa~ If you feel that way it was worth telling you. There aren’t many who care to listen to this kind of minutiae.」
Ramiyuros exclaimed with a smile.
Until now I hadn’t learned much about Dragon King society so I was glad to get the opportunity to increase my knowledge.
I thought when…
「Master I’ve made tea and snacks~ Today it’s black tea and apple pie~」
Sakura called out from the house.
I could smell the scent drifting from the doorway.
「Uwaaa……smells delicious.」
Ramiyuros reacted and her stomach growled. As always she was the appetite king.
「Well this is perfect. Why don’t you come in for some tea and explain things more thoroughly?」
「Eh? Really!?」
「Yeah, I want to know more.」
「Yay~ Thanks Daichi-san!」
Ramiyuros cried out and grabbed my hand tightly. But suddenly she froze and murmured.
「——umm, but if you want precise numbers and data and things like that ask Hesty. I’m okay with general knowledge and stuff but I’m not really good at the specifics.」
「Well you said it yourself….I guess we’ll call Hesty as well.」
With Hesty present I could be at ease that I was getting the right info.
And so I began my Dragon King class with the two of them.
