Chapter 22

Rohee's Uneasiness

It was an early sunny morning.

Far beyond the hunting area, near the meadow with the dotted trees.

"Tha... that's..."

The captain of the Elgandhi Kingdom's Reconnaissance Knights gasped at what he saw.

It was 100... no, it's a horde of more than 200 dragons.

He was surprised as it's the first time that dragons have ever formed such a large herd.

"Captain... what the heck is this?"

One of his three men that were hiding with him near the bushes and trees asked that question.

"I have no idea. I've heard that dragons are forming a lot of herds lately, but this..."

This is unusual as, no matter how you look at it, dragons will never follow another dragon who is on the same level as them unless they are a pair.

Another possibility is that...

"...Maybe an S-class dragon is nearby."

When the captain muttered those words, his subordinates were so surprised that it looked like they were gasping for breath.

It was then that the earth slightly shook.

When the knights looked in front of them they immediately knew the cause of the rumbling.

"Ca... captain!"

"That's..."

"Ah... I see..."

In the middle of the dragon herd, one dragon really stands out.

It was a dragon covered in blue scales. On the back of that dragon emerged countless icicles.

Its head, claws, and tail were also covered with ice, and it was even generating a white mist all over its body that it seemed that the dragon was emitting cold air.

The size of the dragon is truly gigantic, measuring more than 10 meters in height, and if it's more than 10 meters tall, then that means that its total length is more than 30 meters.

In front of the gigantic dragon, the three-meter A class dragons looks adorable in front of it.

"Maybe it's one of the four unique dragons that have been spotted lately."

"It looks like it, but to be honest, it's really huge..."

While the knights were astonished by what they'd seen, suddenly the S-class dragon in the middle of the herd roared.

The roar shook the earth, and it produced a strong gust of wind so loud that it numbed the ears of the knights.

"Ugh!"

"What a roar! We can even hear it even at this distance."

The knights immediately covered their ears.

After the knights saw that the roar had stopped, the captain released his hands on his ears and he announced.

"Our reconnaissance ends here. Let's return before something bad happens to us."

"Roger that!"

The Reconnaissance knights then prepared to leave the area, when suddenly the captain noticed something.

The herd, together with the S class dragon, began to march across the meadow.

And the direction in which the herd moves...

"It can't be! To Elgandhi?"

In response to the captain's voice, the other knights also checked the direction in which the herd was advancing.

When they saw it, the knights faces turned pale.

"No way! In that direction..."

"This is really bad, Captain!"

"I know! Everyone hurry up and get on your horses!"

The knights then rode the horses that had been waiting in the distance in a hurry to get to the Kingdom of Elgandhi before the dragons.

We must report this as soon as possible! As the Kingdom of Elgandhi is in danger!

...


Visiting Zekudo's house has become a mourning routine for Rohee.

Today, too, Rohee came to wake up Zekudo.

"Captain? Are you already awake?"

She knocks on the front door several times, but there's no reply from Zekudo.

Rohee had also brought freshly baked white bread for Zekudo today, but no matter how many times she knocked, there was no response from inside the house.

Overtime, Rohee was looking forward to the smile of Zekudo, while saying "It's delicious" for Rohee it's a rewarding experience for a baker when the person that she bakes a bread for is pleased with her creation.

She had been informed by Flambert-sensei that Zekudo likes meat, so this time Rohee also brought some sausages.

I was sure that he would be really happy if I made him a hotdog.

That's why I was so excited when I came here, but in the end, it all ended up in a disappointment.

"Still no reply huh? This is really troublesome..."

This is the first time that this has happened.

Normally, he would come out after a while.

Is he still sleeping?

Or maybe something bad has happened to him?

"Captain? Captain Zekudo?"

Still, there's no reply.

Rohee was getting more and more worried about the situation.

"No way!"

There's a possibility that Zekudo is still inside the house, and he's suffering from an illness so severe that he can't move!

The idea came to her as she also has a sister that is currently ill.

Rohee then gripped the doorknob and turned it.

When she did that, she heard a strange banging sound.

"Ah!"

It was clear that it was the sound of the door being damaged, but Rohee ignored that and she opened the front door anyway.

She entered the house and headed for the bedroom where she thought Zekudo was sleeping.

"Zekudo?!"

Rohee opened the door to his bedroom and found Zekudo lying on his bed.

She moved closer to him to hear the sound of his breathing.

He was sound asleep while breathing quietly.

It seems that he is just really sleeping.

"Thank God..."

Relieved, Rohee looked at Zekudo's face.

The face of Zekudo, who was sleeping peacefully, looked cute, probably because he still had the youthfulness of a 15-year-old.

"He really has a cute sleeping face."

I really forgot that I was trespassing when I muttered that kind of thing.

Then it occurred to her.

I had knocked and called him a lot, but even after that he didn't come out, and I didn't expect him to sleep soundly until now.

He must have been really tired.

I wondered if that was the case.

He must have felt a lot of pressure after becoming a captain.

Zekudo himself is pretty active, and he's physically strong, so it's hard to notice the fatigue that is building up in his body.

Today's oversleep must have been caused by accumulated fatigue.

"You must have been really tired, Captain."

Rohee looked at Zekudo lovingly while gently patting his head.

Then, when Rohee tried to cover Zekudo's body with a blanket, she stopped moving as her eyes fell on his exposed upper body.

Rohee noticed that Zekudo's well-trained chest was slightly thicker and his abdominal muscles were nicely split.

I don't know why he slept without a nightgown on, but this is really great.

"He really has some great muscles..."

Zekudo is slender, so he doesn't look that muscular, but when he takes off his clothes, one would notice that he has a really well-toned muscular body.

Together with Zekudo's cute sleeping face, this has made Rohee's heart pound.

He is really cool when he fights, he's really cute when he sleeps, and also when he has no clothes, he's amazing. Seriously, this is really unfair.

With that in mind, Rohee stroked Zekudo's chest.

"Oh, it's so hard..."

For some reason, I'm really impressed.

It's probably because of his beautiful muscles that I can't get even if I want it.

My breasts are just a lump of fat, and I don't even have a well-toned abs.

Right now, I'm also quite strong, but still I'm not satisfied.

I had already accepted this woman's body that I have possesed since I was born, but I still envy a man's body.

While stroking and admiring the hard chest that she didn't have, suddenly Zekudo opened his eyes.

"Hmmm?"

"Huh?!"

Rohee and Zekudo stared at each other.
