Frontier Magic Pharmacist

Chapter 81: His Majesty’s Decision

Tension flared again in the guest room, where the atmosphere had become somewhat relaxed.

“Your Royal Highness, His Majesty the King is here.”

The servant’s words changed the atmosphere of the room. The faces of the women, who had been looking disheveled until a few minutes ago, tightened up, and even Marth-san, the holy dragon scholar, stopped writing his hand on the historical documents.

Perhaps sensing the atmosphere, the holy dragon rushed to take refuge on my lap.

The door to the guest room opened quietly.

“I’m sorry to keep you waiting. It took me a while to interrupt the meeting.”

His Majesty the King sat down in the seat that had been prepared in advance. The air in the room relaxed a little at the sight of his majestic appearance.

“your Majesty, did you hear the story?”

“Of course, Minerva. Something about the discovery of the Holy Dragon’s egg?”

His Majesty the King turned to us and raised one eyebrow. But, however, the egg was already only a shell. The shells were being carefully collected by Marth-san. Perhaps those could be used as ingredients for magic potions?　I should have collected at least a few.

“Your majesty, this is the Holy Dragon born from the egg.”

I held up the holy dragon that was on my lap and showed it to him. The king’s eyes widened, as if he had not expected it to be born.

“This is the Holy Dragon… can I touch it?”

‘’I hope it’s no problem.’’

For some reason, it’s like I’m the owner!　Somehow I have to avoid that. It wouldn’t be funny if my pet was a holy dragon.

The holy dragon was being quietly stroked by His Majesty the King. I don’t mind if you just collect it as it is.

“Your Majesty, regarding the handling of the holy dragon, ……”

Marth-san clammed up. I’m sure he’ll say something that’s hard to say. Everyone else was also paying attention to Marth-san . A bead of sweat trickled down Marth-san  face.

“I don’t mind. Let’s hear your opinion as a holy dragon scholar.”

“Ha! According to the legend, the holy dragon needs enough magical power to grow. The only people who can effectively transfer that magic power are those who are chosen by the holy dragon. In this place, I think Julius-sama, who hatched the holy dragon from an egg, falls into that category.”

“Hmm…”

Oh, really?　I haven’t heard anything about it being necessary to keep giving it magical power after it’s born from an egg. But, if it’s okay to be inefficient, does that mean that other people can give magic power? I’m sure I don’t have to be the one to do it.

There are many wizards working in the castle. They should be able to supply the magic power.

“Kyu …….”

Perhaps it noticed that I was about to throw it away, so it looked at me with round eyes.

What is it? I feel something tightening in my chest. As if prompted by the voice, Rosalia embraced the holy dragon.

“Big brother…….”

Rosalia looked at me with an upward glance. Stop, that works too well on me. What should I do, should I just take it home? Should I do that?

“Father, it would be pitiful to separate Julius and Holy Dragon-chan.”

Chloe is right. I know she’s very attractive, but it would be a pity to separate her from her parents.

“I suppose that’s true. Then how about raising it here in the castle with Julius?”

Oh, come on, what are you talking about, your Majesty? That would only suffocate me. I don’t want to live in a castle, I don’t want to live in a castle. ……

“That’s a good idea. Let’s go talk to Margrave Heine right away.”

Your Royal Highness! Oh no, if I don’t do something, I’ll really end up living in the castle. If that happens, my free and easy slow life will be ruined..!

By the judgment of His Majesty the King, Margrave Heine was to be summoned.

I’m sorry, father. I’m sorry that this has happened to you because of  your unworthy son. …… No, wait. It originally started with Chloe. It wasn’t my fault. I got caught up in it. I’m innocent.

“Hey, what are you going to name this kid?”

Chloe, in a good mood for some reason, looked at me with a smiling expression on her face. I wanted to pinch her cheeks.

“Is it a boy or a girl?”

Caro is looking at the dragon and nodding her head.

“About that matter, I heard that there is no distinction between male and female holy dragons. As for whether or not they are allowed to have names, I don’t know, but I don’t have any record of a holy dragon having a name.”

Marth-san said so. Maybe it’s rude to name them like pets. I don’t know how intelligent the holy dragon is, but It seems to be able to speak. If that is the case, it is safe to assume that it understands language.

“Do you want me to give you a name?”

I asked, while stroking the holy dragon on the head.

“Kyu!”

Judging by the response I received, I could see that he was able to understand my words.

“How about Tama?”

“Nya!”

“Ow!”

it bit my finger. I was sure it could understand me.

“Big brother, it doesn’t like it.”

“I’m kidding, I’m kidding. I was just trying to see if you could understand me.”

“I see. Then it seems certain that the holy dragon understands our language. This is the discovery of the century!”

With great vigor, Marth-san began to write something on a piece of paper. As expected of a holy dragon scholar. The tension is different. The Holy Dragon was looking at me with jittery eyes. I think it’s cute. Would you have preferred Porky?

“Let’s give it some proper thought. Since It’s a holy dragon. …… Sei-chan?”

Caro suggested, but the Holy Dragon’s reaction was not good.

“It’s too easy, isn’t it?　I’ve heard that the holy dragon is the messenger of Mirrorless-sama, the creator of this world. So how about you, Mira-chan?”

“Kyu!”

The holy dragon reacted to Chloe’s suggestion. It was a happy “Kyu!” is it okay to give it the Creator God’s name? I’m getting a little worried. What if I get deeply involved with the Creator God?

…… No. I’m already becoming more involved. I have a bad feeling that I’m being played by the creator god. But more importantly, as I recall, you could speak directly into my head, couldn’t you?

“your Majesty the King, Margrave Heine has arrived.”

One of the servants said so. He arrived earlier than I expected. Ah, speaking of which, he said he was going to deliver the magical cold/Warm air blower tool to the royal castle. Perhaps he had other business to attend to.
