112 . Dragon King’s Hot Spring (2)

Rubeum thinks a little, and

「Kyuru . I’ve already had Will wash it for me, so that’s fine . 」

「…Is that so?」

The man was clearly dejected .

「Are you perhaps… Dolflare-dono?」

「Yes, it is nice to meet you in this form, Will Wolms-sama . 」

As expected of the Dragon King . He can even take a human form .

Although I say human form, it’s a dragon newt form .

Dolflare looked similar to Dion .

The color of the scale was the same blue as Dion . The tail which was thicker than the legs looked magnificent . And, his height was even taller than Dion .

Still, if he were to walk around a city normally, he would look like a normal dragon newt .

「Rubeum, since Dolflare-dono is already here, why not let him wash your back?」

「…Kyuru . Okay, if Will says so . 」

「Thank you for such a blessing!」Dolflare said .

Rubeum flew towards Dolflare .

Dolflare immediately began to wash Rubeum’s back, or rather, the whole body .

「What do you think, Holy Monarch?」

「It feels good . 」

「Is there anywhere you find itchy?」

「A little more up! Kyuru…」

「Around here, yes . 」

「Kyuru-Kyuru」

Rubeum looks to be feeling really good .

Perhaps being fellow dragons, Dolflare can understand where it tends to be itchy .

I’ll also observe Dolflare and the place where he is washing carefully .

I’ll use it as a reference for washing Rubeum next time .

「I see . Dragons tend to itch around that area, Dion-sama?」

I use honorifics for Dion because Dolflare was present .

「Especially the joint of the wings easily accumulates dirt . A dragon’s hand can’t reach there, after all . 」

「It’s a learning experience . The gap between the scales also seems to be one such spot . 」

「Yes, it is . It’s the same for dragon newts . 」

「I’ll be careful when I wash Dion-sama’s back next time . 」

「Thank you very much . I am looking forward to it . 」

About five minutes later, Dolflare finishes washing Rubeum’s body .

Rubeum flew toward the bath with a refreshed look .

I say to Dolflare .

「Are you not getting in the bath, Dolflare-dono?」

「No, I can’t possibly . 」

「Kyuru . Let’s go in together . 」

「No, such honour is–」

「It’s okay, it’s okay! Just get in . Kyuru」

After being persistently invited by Rubeum, Dolflare finally entered the bath .

Dolflare sat between me and Dion . Due to his height, he was only soaked to half-body .

「Dolflare-dono . Were you surprised?」

Dion asked with a smile .

「…Dion . If you were bringing along the Holy Monarch, couldn’t you have told me in advance?」

「I wanted my disciples to gain experience . I apologize . 」

「There’s nothing to apologize for . You gave me a meeting with the Holy Monarch . That’s more than ample . 」

Dolflare glanced at Rubeum, who was frolicking with Shiro in front of me .

「I just would’ve liked to make proper arrangements before meeting the Holy Monarch . 」

「I am simply glad you are happy . 」

「Even so, it looks like being a descendant of Edelfuss is not just for show . 」

「No, that’s not exactly it…」

I had no choice but to be ambiguous with my words .

My cousins are also the descendants of Edelfuss, after all .

「Will Wolms-sama…」

「Um, Dolflare-dono, please don’t use honorifics for me . 」

「But if Will Wolms-sama is a sworn ally of the Holy Monarch…」

「Kyuru . Will doesn’t want to stand out . 」

「Is that so?」

「So I think Dolflare shouldn’t use honorifics . Kyuru」

「Yes! As the Holy Monarch wills it!」

「Umu . No problem . 」

Rubeum seems to be happy to be served by Dolflare .

Being a baby, him being a little childish is only natural .

「Rubeum, don’t be too full of yourself . 」

「Eh—」

「No buts… . 」

「…Okay . Kyuru」

Rubeum agreed, seeming a little discontent .

But Dolflare quickly moved through the bath and came in front of us .

「No! The Holy Monarch is truly admirable!」

「No problem . 」

「Hey! Rubeum . 」

「Kyuru . Okay…」

And then Rubeum says,

「Dol Dol . 」

「Dol Dol? Yes . How may I serve you, Holy Monarch?」

「You don’t have to praise me so much . 」

「But…」

「You don’t use honorifics for Will, so you don’t have to use it for me too . 」

「I am grateful, but… I can’t set that example . 」

「I see . It can’t be helped if you can’t, kyuru . 」

Saying that, Rubeum fleetingly glanced at me .

As though waiting for me to say that it can’t be helped since Dolflare himself wants to serve Rubeum .

「Even if Dolflare-dono shows respect, that’s not a good reason for you to put on airs . 」

「Kyuru . I got it . 」

Rubeum seems to be convinced .
