Chapter 80.

「Is right now okay? I want you to head over to the President Office right now…」

It was Xenovia, who contacted me through the Transceiver Ring .

「I was just about to sleep, if it’s urgent, I’ll head over right now…」

『I see . Sleep is important after all . Come tomorrow morning then』

「I am grateful for your concern」

And then the Transceiver cuts off .

She might have wanted to hear about the test from me as well .

Or perhaps about Rubeum instead?

Rosetta’s success is confirmed after all .

In other words, it is not regarding the judgement of success or failure .

So that means it’s nothing urgent . Tomorrow should be fine .

「…Should I drop by the President Office before fetching Saria from the nursery?」

While thinking of that, I climbed onto the bed .

Shiro, Fluffy and Rubeum climbed onto the bed too .

「In the past, staying up all night wouldn’t even be a problem…」

As expected, you easily get sleepy in the body of a child . How inconvenient .

However, the body of an eight-year-old has its perks too .

Recuperation and growth are both quick .

「Kyuru, it is so soft」

Rubeum was jumping on the bed .

「This is called a bed . Family members sleep here」

「I seeー」

Rubeum seemed to have taken a liking to beds .

「Rubeum, I’m about to sleep so don’t shake the bed」

「Understood」

Rubeum obediently curled up on the right side of my head .

Incidentally, Shiro was on my left . Fluffy was under the blanket, near my belly .

「…Mee… . . e」「Pi… . gii」

Shiro and Fluffy yawned .

They must have been tired as well .

They might have been playing all the time with Regina, while we were undergoing the test .

After going to the President Office tomorrow, I’ll ask about that too .

「How old are you, Rubeum?」

「Don’t know . It was around last week that Rubeum hatched from the egg…」

A dragon’s age is probably counted from the time of being an egg .

「Even though you were born just last week, you are already good at human language」

「Kyuru!」

Rubeum cried out happily .

「But, I am only able to speak after Will named me」

「Hou? Is that so?」

「Yes, it’s confusing for Rubeum too」

She seems to be confused as well .

「Leaving that aside, I think Rubeum is a god-beast, the godkin of the Dragon God」

「Is that right?」

「Yeah, Shiro and Fluffy are god-beasts too . And another one who is not present here, RunRun, is also a god-beast」

「Friends!」

「Incidentally, I am also the god-beast of the Human God it seems」

「Friends with Will too!」

Rubeum flapped her wings looking joyful .

「Be quiet during sleep time」

I tenderly pet Rubeum .

「Understood」

Rubeum had about the same body temperature as a human .

While petting Rubeum, Shiro and Fluffy, I fell asleep .

The next morning .

「MeeMeeeeMeeee」

Shiro was wholeheartedly head-butting me .

「Will, wake up」

While saying so, Rubeum licked my face .

「Thanks for waking me up」

Shiro and Rubeum had heard when I was called to the President Office .

That must be why they woke me up .

「Fluffy…」

「Pi… . i」

Fluffy was still sound asleep .

I decided to let Fluffy sleep in for a while longer, so I got out of bed quietly .

I made simple preparations, and was about to leave the room .

「PigiPigii!」

Fluffy ran after me in a flustered state .

「Fluffy, I’m just going to the President Office, so you can sleep for a while longer」

There isn’t really going to be a battle or anything . We’re just going to discuss .

Besides, I am going to fetch Saria today, so I would be back in a few hours at most .

「Pigi!」

However, Fluffy absolutely doesn’t want to be left behind it seems .

「Understood, I will wake you up from now on」

「Pii」

After that, we walked towards the President Office .

Rubeum, Shiro and Fluffy followed after me while frolicking around happily .

They were mutually head-butting each other, riding on Fluffy, and Fluffy riding on them and such .

I am glad Rubeum is getting along well with Shiro and Fluffy .

「PiiPii!」「Kyururururu」「Meeeeee」

「Guys, it’s alright to play but keep it down」

There are many who are still sleeping in the early morning, that too immediately following dawn .

Although the dormitory has high soundproof performance, too much noise might be bothersome .

「「「……… . . 」」」

The god-beasts became silent .

However, they don’t stop messing with each other . They frolic about silently .

「Well, if you are quiet then I suppose it wouldn’t cause trouble」

After walking for a while, we reached in front the President Office .

Right before I knocked,

「Come in」

Xenovia immediately called out from inside .

「Thank you」

「Umu, thanks for coming …I am sorry for calling you out this early in the morning, Master」

Xenovia got up from the couch and approached me .

「No, I was too sleepy yesterday . Thanks for being thoughtful」

I started speaking in a broken tone . Xenovia started using honorific midway through .

In other words, including the neighbouring room, only I and my disciples were in this area .

And then, we started conversing with each other .
