Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

Dragon King, Arrived

Laila is both silent and surprised to realize they are dating without any plans.

Laila let out a small sigh and looked around. The whole point of dating is to have fun and spend time with your partner (Kuro), so during her time with Kuro, Laila will go anywhere.

They are now in the middle of the city. The city center is dominated by large shops. From his current place Laila could see the repaired Sirei Mall. It has even reopened.

Thanks to magic, damaged buildings are easy to repair, but this does not apply to goods sold because they are made in factories or handmade.

But it's not the time to think about that. Laila has to find where they're dating.

(Wait, why should I think about this?)

Shouldn't it be Kuro's job asking her out on a date?

"Laila, why don't we buy that?"

Laila turned to the direction Kuro pointed at, which was a large and crowded Crepe shop.

Laila knew Crepe's shop was one of the famous stores and already had many branches. Even in the capital Laila often buy Crepe in the store.

Laila was a little curious as to whether it felt different to the shops in the capital.

"Alright, I think it's good enough to stick up the stomach."

Laila held onto her stomach which was slightly rumbling. He had not had time to eat breakfast thanks to Kuro's excited act in the morning.

They both went to Crepe's shop. Kuro ordered a banana chocolate bar, while Laila had strawberries and blueberries.

After that, they walked together while eating crepe towards the other store. They decided to explore all the shops to find interesting items and have fun.

"Kuro, what do you think?"

Now they are in the accessories store. Laila tried the red ribbon and used it to tie her hair. Now Laila's hairstyle is a twintail when they first date.

"I think it's good, but it doesn't fit your personality."

"Tch!"

Laila immediately looked irritated and took off the red ribbon that tied her hair.

Kuro's habit of being too honest and outspoken sometimes makes Laila confused.

"Laila, why don't you try this?"

"?"

When she turned her head, Laila showed a red bando with no ornaments, aka plain.

Laila received the bando and tried it. After looking at the reflection in the mirror, he was indeed fit to wear that bando.

"Hm, I'm not wrong, am I?"

"But why did you say I didn't fit into the twintail style?"

Hearing that, Kuro showed a sly thin smile and said:

"Laila, one thing you should know, twintail is only suitable for tsundere girls!?"

Laila did not understand what Kuro meant, but seeing Kuro who was so excited, she was sure it was a vision of Kuro (?).

"uh? Never mind, I don't feel right either."

"One more thing, you don't want to be mistaken for Yui, do you?"

"Eh?"

After remembering that Yui's hair was twintail-style (though still short), Laila let out a deep sigh.

Is that why Kuro says Laila doesn't fit into the twintail style? Sure didn't. Laila knew that Kuro was telling the truth.

Laila didn't know to be happy or sad.

"Yes you're right, then this ribbon?"

"Short of a minute, I'm gonna do something!"

Laila did not understand much when Kuro took the ribbon and began styling Laila's hair on the right side near the ear.

"Done, I think it's better if it's like this?"

Laila turned to the mirror and saw a red ribbon tied to Laila's hair along with a small red hairpin.

Laila was a little surprised when she learned that simple accessories can make a different appearance.

"... Are you right, but you know all too well about this?"

"I've been a model, so I know a wide variety of popular and suitable hairstyles."

"..........Uh?"

Did he hear wrong?

When Laila was shocked in disbelief, Kuro held Laila's hand and took Laila away from the store after leaving some banknotes.

"Kuro, where are we going?"

"Because this city is boring, I think we only have one place."

"Where?"

"Sirei mall!"

"Huh?"

Laila didn't really understand, but she couldn't do much considering that Areshia was a city that wasn't very big.

That is why this city only has 2 malls, then the rest is small shops.

This is reasonable considering that most of the city is the territory of Kuryuu Academy, the rest are residences and some government offices.

After walking for a few minutes, Kuro and Laila entered Sirei Mall.

Laila still remembered very well the last time she entered the mall. During the attack by the Red Crow, Sirei Mall suffered considerable damage, but now Laila did not see a single scratch.

It is as crowded now as ever. Knights were also on guard a lot, but the number was slightly reduced. This is reasonable considering that in the attack 2 weeks ago many Knights were killed.

Laila and Kuro headed to the 2nd floor and sat down at the restaurant.

Now that Laila understood, Kuro was hungry, but it was only natural that Kuro had not eaten like Laila.

Laila was a little surprised when Kuro ordered quite a lot of food. So many, their orders filled the table and made people look at them.

Laila blushed in embarrassment, but she then assumed it was natural.

Laila then decided this was a chance to ask again. This is normal considering until now he still does not know who his lover really is.

Laila remembers that Kuro traveled the world. He wanted to know Kuro's experience while traveling the world.

Kuro did not hesitate to answer Laila's question, but it took about 3 hours to finish.

Laila watched and listened to Kuro's story carefully. Sometimes Laila laughs because she does not think Kuro will have a funny experience.

In addition to conquering dragons along the way, Kuro has also met the Ice Queen paladin who turns out to have a relationship with Alva and Alvi.

Kuro and the Ice Queen travel together for a few days. From there Kuro knew about the Ice Dust magic that is now mastered by Alvi. Not only that, Ice Quenn also always traveled to help with his healing magic.

Kuro told me about it while he was in Forestia. That's where Kuro enters a Dungeon and. But thanks to that he met a married couple who were exploring the Dungeon.

After hearing that, Laila realized something about the Dungeon that Kuro was talking about.

"Could it be the Dungeon you mean the Aztecia Dungeon? I heard that Dungeon is the most dangerous Dungeon and no one has ever come out alive."

"Yes. That's why no one knows the contents of the Aztecia Dungeon, but it's useless to find out or make a map of the Dungeon because the Dungeon is always changing."

"Eh? Don't tell me that Dungeon is ...live?"

While eating, Kuro replied;

"..Omu...You could say it like that. omu omu.., but rather made with extraordinary calculations."

"Eh?"

"The Dungeon will change at a certain time, and that's what makes people who enter it always get lost and can't get out."

"So apparently.. keh. but how much more do you want to eat?"

"Hum?"

Kuro didn't really understand, but after glancing at the empty plates that were piling up were already a mountain, Kuro said:

"I didn't realize it..."

"Uggs..."

Laila could not say what about the stomach of the Kuro monster that was able to devour portions for 20 people.

"So how did you get out?"

"That's easy, I memorized the Dungeon's pattern as it changed. Moreover, the way out was actually inscribed on the Dungeon's wall relief."

".....................EH?"

"Here you go, you eat fast, we'll go again."

Kuro said that when he saw Laila only ate a plate of food that the portion could be said to be small.

"You are, ...women have reason to eat a lot."

Laila let out a small sigh, while Kuro was drinking the juice.

At that moment, Laila asked something that she thought was very important in their relationship in the future.

Laila looked at Kuro half-closed while putting her hand on her chin and then asked:

"Kuro, ..when are you going to propose to me?"

Marriage at a young age is common. In fact, this has become a tradition among the family of top-level magicians.

This is because given that most of the magician's power is influenced by the offspring, the rest is the talent and effort of the magician himself.

The most obvious example is Laila's father. Grandma and Grandpa Laila are top-tier fire witches, which is why Laila's father can become the strongest magician.

This also happened to Laila and her older brother. They both have skills above other children.

It is because of this that free sex is strictly prohibited and considered taboo for witches. Even before they were married, witches had to keep their chastity.

.....and that abstinence has been violated by Laila. For love.

She had no regrets, but after breaking the taboo, Laila had to accept the consequences.

He is no longer holy. That means she now has no choice but to marry Kuro. That's why he asked with a smile and a gaze that made you think Laila was the Demon Queen.

"Kuro, ...when are you going to propose to me?"

In addition to inquiring about the continuation of their relationship, Laila also asked about Kuro's responsibilities.

Now Laila's future is in Kuro's hands, so she has no other choice.

But the most important reason was for everyone to know that Kuro was his. If everyone knew Kuro was his, then people who liked Kuro would give up (maybe). That was the reason Laila asked that, but Kuro's reaction was....

"Yahuuuuu... Cough coough."

Kuro immediately spouted out his drink and choked.

...this is a reasonable reaction.

After getting better, Kuro noticed Laila who was now looking at him with a curious and creepy look. Laila also smiled, but it was a smile that made people shudder instantly.

After a while, Kuro let out a small sigh and put on a complicated face.

"Why are you asking that? Didn't I say I'd do it soon?"

"Yahhh. I just want to know fu fu .."

Although Laila said that in a carefree tone, it made Kuro even more depressed.

(Women are creepy.).

Kuro nodded again.

"You want to get married, when we are officially lovers not even a week, you are really right......"

"....aha ha. but I can tell right? Given your uncontrollable perverted nature, I should know for sure."

"Ugh.."

Even though what Laila said was reality, it was still painful.

"....alright, if you want to know when I propose to you, lend me your phone?"

"Huh?"

Laila was immediately confused. His face seemed to say what was the relationship of his cell phone to when Kuro proposed to him?

"Of that, just give it. You want to know, right?"

Although she did not know what Kuro was thinking, Laila gave her the phone.

Laila's phone is the same as Kuro's, so Kuro knows very well what he's doing.

He opened the contact list and searched. Kuro was a little surprised when he found out Laila's contact list was arguably.

(He has no friends?)

After finding the contact he was looking for, Kuro unhesitatingly pressed the call button and brought the phone closer to his ear.

"Ku-Kuro, who are you calling?"

"Your father!"

"Hhhh!?"

Laila instantly widened her eyes upon hearing what Kuro was doing.

_ Elsewhere, in a room. 10 people were sitting at a round table. They are in a meeting to discuss the attack by a mysterious group that has not been identified.

One of them was Laila's father who was the strongest paladin. He is still in his 30s, so you could say he is still young.

He put on a serious face when he heard the report. The mysterious group attacked and almost got his daughter killed, which is why he would not be satisfied before destroying the group with his own hands.

But she is grateful that her daughter is doing well thanks to a young man known as the Witch Reaper.

Laila's father is more surprised to learn that the Witch Reaper has actually saved his daughter twice, but what makes him even more surprised is that the Witch Reaper became his daughter's lover.

Of course he appreciates Laila's decision, but considering that the Witch Reaper is not a witch, he begins to feel that their relationship cannot be allowed to go.

He opposes the Witch Reaper and Laila's relationship, but he can't force them to separate. So he decided to observe first the development of the relationship of the Witch Reaper and Laila.

"?"

Leon is shocked by the vibration of his cell phone. He picked it up and saw his daughter was contacting him.

This is a rare occurrence, so Leon wants to pick her up because he thinks Laila contacted him because of an important issue.

The problem is that he is currently in a meeting. What's he supposed to do?

Luckily one of his friends knew what was on Leon's mind.

"Leon, if it's important, you better take it. Besides, the meeting's almost over and the discussion isn't important."

"...Sorry."

"Just calm. This is what happens."

Leon then left the room and answered the call.

"Hello, Laila is there any need? You know I'm in a meeting and busy."

"(I really need to, Dad?)"

"Huh?"

Leon was immediately surprised when the one who answered was a young man.

"Who are you? That's Laila's phone, right? Could it be that you did something to Laila? If you do something, I'll kill you right away?!"

He would seriously do that considering he almost lost Laila twice. But what he regretted the most was that in the event of danger, Leon was not on Laila's side.

"(Look down, Dad. Laila's fine. He's in front of me right now)"

"the evidence?"

After a while,

"(I'm fine. So don't worry and burn around you!)"

"Uh, okay."

Leon knew it was Laila's voice and was a lie. Laila looks a lot like her mother, so Leon knows only her wife and Laila are nagging her like that.

"(Do you believe Laila's okay?)"

"I believe, but don't call me Dad! I'm not your father!"

"(Well, ....Dad.)"

"............"

Leon could only sigh in annoyance.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

"(I just want to know when you have free time?)"

"What are you asking that for? One more thing, I'm not your father!"

"(I want to propose to Laila, so I want to know when you have free time.)"

".....Huh?"

Leon ran out of words and didn't know if what he heard was right or wrong.

"Hey, don't joke. Who are you and quickly tell me what you really want?"

Leon was running out of patience.

"(I'm Kuro Kagami. Laila's lover, your daughter. He asked me when I proposed to him, so I called Dad to ask him when I had time to spare)"

"................"

Leon fell silent and began to think.

Kuro Kagami is the lover of Laila, his daughter. Kuro calls himself Father, in other words Kuro thinks he will definitely marry Laila. There is only one conclusion.

"Can you give the phone to Laila?"

"(Uh. sure.)"

After a while, Kuro saw Laila answer seriously.

The big one was 'YES' answer, but Kuro had no idea what Laila's father was asking, so he could only be speechless.

The call then ended, which was when Laila let out a deep sigh and put on a complicated face.

"Kuro, why are you doing this?"

"Sure to answer your question."

"Eh?"

"The answer is I'll propose to you as soon as possible. I have to take responsibility for you, but we have to solve one problem first. Your father and I are busy people. We don't know when we have free time."

"That's why you're asking that?"

"Yes. Besides I told you that I took your chastity, I guess I just have to wait. So what did your father say?"

"...He said he'd call if he had time. Haa...but I'm furious to know this. I'm sorry to ask."

Laila looked gloomy, while Kuro smiled slightly.

"I'll propose to you sooner or later, so you don't have to regret it. Let's just say this is a problem we have to solve."

"Well, you're right."

Laila started to cheer up again. He realized that what Kuro said had a point.

Kuro and Laila left after paying the bill at the cashier with a Yold Card. After that, the two of them came out of the Sirei mall and went to their next date spot. But where?

Laila just followed where Kuro was going, so she didn't know where they were going, but after being noticed again, she knew where they were going.

"Kuro, are you going to Fila's?"

The road they were on was the road to the shopping area where Fila lived, so she asked that.

"No. I'm going to a store near Fila's house. I'm pretty surprised they have a store in town. My me. "

".......?"

Laila doesn't really understand and decides to follow Kuro. He'll know soon enough anyway.

After a while of walking together, they reached their destination.

A big and luxurious shop. Many bars were like prisons in all the windows and many Knights stood guarding the shop. Yep. The shop they entered was a jewelry store.

But the shop they entered was no ordinary shop. The store has branches all over the world and is very well known for the quality of the jewelry they sell. Even the nobles and queens were their regular customers.

Which is the problem, why did Kuro take Laila to the store? Could it?

"Ku-Kuro, could it be that you want to buy a wedding ring?"

Laila was nervous and panicked. He thinks it's still too soon.

"No."

"Eh?"

"Why do you think I'd buy a wedding ring when we haven't set a date? Geez, you're really impatient."

Laila's face flushed with embarrassment.

"But if you want to, why not? You can choose the ring you like!"

"Ah.no. Forget it."

After thinking hard, Laila realized Kuro's offer was a bad idea. She was happy, but when she saw the beautiful and of course expensive jewelry collection, Laila finally broke her intentions, but there was something she did not understand.

"If you don't buy jewelry, why are you here?"

"3 years ago I ordered an item, even though it was 4 months ago, I had not had time to take it. That's what I'm gonna give you."

"Hm? You're a no-"

"Have it, you are my future wife, just consider it a gift at once to celebrate the anniversary of our relationship."

"......all right. Then I'll be happy to take it."

But after thinking about it, something was strange.

The advantage of the store they enter is that they can order jewelry or even design their favorite jewelry and it will be more expensive than common jewelry.

But what was even more surprising was that Kuro had been thinking about gifts since 3 years ago. Bizarrely. Too weird.

Kuro and Laila head for the reception desk. The two of them became the center of attention because they looked very friendly like newlyweds.

A beautiful woman at the reception desk serves Kuro. After informing them of their needs, the receptionist asked Kuro's name.

After notifying, the receptionist searched the data center through a computer. For some reason, the receptionist's eyes widened like surprise.

"Mr Kuro?"

"Yes?"

"Please come with me!"

"Ah okay."

After nodding, the woman went towards an inner room of the shop.

Kuro intends to follow him, but before that,

"Laila, wait a minute. I think it's gonna take a little time, all right?"

"Eh? Be fine."

"Why don't you see see? Don't worry if there's any jewelry you like."

"Huh.h.. ."

While laughing dryly, Laila saw Kuro enter the room that the woman entered earlier.

(I hope he doesn't attack that woman.)

Laila sighed and sat on the chair not far from where she was standing.

10, 20, 30 minutes had passed, but Kuro had not yet come out. The woman who entered had long since gone out and resumed her work.

Laila was relieved, but why did Kuro take so long?

Laila was getting tired of waiting. He finally decided to look at the look to fill the time.

He glanced at the neatly arranged jewelry behind the special glass.

(Hmmmm.. This shop is really expensive.).

In each piece of jewelry, the price is listed. Laila was quite surprised when she saw the cheapest price was 78 jt Yold for a necklace with a simple design.

But given the good quality, the price was reasonable.

Laila saw the ring part. I don't know why he was curious about what kind of ring he would wear at the wedding. So he decided to make it a reference.

"Hm?"

Laila was attracted to a ring that she thought was very different from the one in the store. The cintin is separated from the other ring which signifies the ring is special.

The ring is silvery and red in the middle. It has no precious stones, or any strange model.

(Could the ring have special powers?)

Rings that add strength or have special effects have become common items, but after paying good attention, Laila felt the rings had no special effects.

Which makes him wonder why only the ring is not labeled price?

"Miss, do you want to try it?"

"Eh?"

A shopkeeper woman offers the ring to Laila.

"Miss, do you want to try it?"

The woman repeated her question.

"Ahh. I was just wondering ha haha. "

"Then can my wife try it?"

"?"

The couple wore expensive clothes. Laila knew that they were either rich or noble. But Laila didn't know them. They probably come from other areas.

The man approached and glanced at the red ring on display with a sharp look.

"Miss, why don't you try?"

The man glanced at Laila.

"Ah.. I'm just afraid of ruining that stuff haha. "

Laila replied in a half-joking tone.

"You don't have to worry. Of course if the ring is real."

"What do you mean?"

"The ring is one of the Dragonblood Gear series that there are only 9 in the world. Exactly what ever made. fufu."

The answer is the man's wife.

"Dragonblood Gears?"

Laila did not know the name, but if remembered, she had seen a similar ring. It's just white.

The ring was worn by Riana.

In other words Riana's ring is also the Dragonblood Gear series?

"Yes. The Dragonblood Gear series' rings are a little special, but they don't have any special powers to enhance magic or anything like that. More precisely if it is still unclear whether it has such an effect. But if you ask about Dragonblood Gear, then it's more appropriate to call it a work of art."

"That's what it looks like."

In short, the ring was just an ordinary ring. Laila now knew it (a little).

"Sorry, we haven't introduced ourselves. My name is Indhi Josef. And she's my wife Janes Josef."

While looking down, Laila introduced herself.

"My name is Laila Allein Fortisillein. Hello to you."

Hearing Laila's name, Indhi and Janes looked surprised. It seems they are aware of Laila's true identity.

"... Could you be Leon's daughter?"

"Eh? You know my father?"

"We were friends at school. Even though we rarely meet now."

"Certainly that?"

Laila was a little surprised and did not expect to meet her father's friend.

"Yes. Although I hate your father so much, but he and I are good friends."

"Huh?"

Laila doesn't really understand, but she knows Indhi seriously hates her father. The question is-

"Why?"

"She is very popular and all the girls are running after her. He is also known as a playboy. All the guys at school hate him... "

"....I understand why you hate my father."

Laila understood because her brother was the same. Popular among the girls. Even Kuro is not much different from Laila's father and brother.

"I heard your brother is also very popular?"

"Yes that way...."

After chuckling, they were startled by the small coughing sound emanating from Janes.

They realize that they are far from their main topic.

"Sorry, Honey. I can't help myself."

"Here you go, I know how you feel, but I want to try the ring immediately."

"Ohh, yeah, that's right." Indhi turned to the woman guarding the shop and said, "Miss, is the ring real?"

"Of course, sir. It just so happened that we were looking for the owner of the ring in this town. And you're lucky because this is the last day."

The shopkeeper did not seem to be lying.

"Then may I see it to know the original or not?"

"of course. You can try it too."

The woman took the ring and gave it to Indhi.

After receiving it, Indhi immediately took out a magnifying glass from his shirt pocket. Of course it wasn't an ordinary magnifying glass, but why would Indhi carry such an object?

Indhi then looked carefully at the middle of the ring which was red with a magnifying glass.

After a while, Indhi smiled in satisfaction.

"It's original. Honey, you're lucky to try."

"really that? Glad."

Indhi gave the ring to his wife. Janes accepted it and put it on immediately, but after putting the ring on his ring finger, Janes looked disappointed.

Indhi knew what was causing his wife to be unhappy.

Janes gave the ring to Indhi again.

"I don't think this ring wants to be worn by you?"

"Yes. Too bad. I really hope."

Indhi and Janes looked disappointed. Laila didn't really understand, so she asked

"Anoo..is the ring special?"

"Dragonblood Series is the most unique and special ring in the world. And the ring chooses who it's owner."

"Eh? I just heard a ring like that for the first time?"

"But what makes it special is this part!"

Indhi then showed the red part with a magnifying glass that can be enlarged 100 times.

"Eh? Lies. Where possible.!"

Laila could not hide her surprise when she saw a machine, precisely a serration that moved like a clock machine was in the middle of the red section. Not only moving, but the gear components are very complicated and number very much.

Laila knew there was research on Nano Tecnology (Nanotec), but the ring was completely different.

"That's why it's called Dragonblood Gear. A machine is inside a ring. That's why it's called a work of art."

"But not everyone can wear the ring." continued Janes.

"More easily, look at this!"

Indhi then wears a ring on her little finger, then takes it off and wears it on her finger sequentially up to the thumb and then takes it off again.

At first Laila didn't really understand, but she realized that

"Size changed?"

Indhi nodded.

"Dragonbood Gear series is not a magic item, it should be impossible that the ring can change size. Only the chosen ones can wear it. An example is Princess Riana. He wears a white Dragonblood Gear series ring."

"That's what it looks like."

Laila now understood that the ring was very special.

(The ring that chooses its owner. This is really weird. ..same as Kuro.)

"That's why anyone can try the ring as long as it's female." added Indhi.

"Laila, why don't you try it? There's no harm, right?"

Janes suggested, but Laila shook her head.

"No. I don't want to."

She'd rather have the ring she's wearing is Kuro's gift. And that ring doesn't need the Dragonblood Gear series.

"Why not? Who knew this ring chose you?"

"But-but..."

He feels bad for Kuro, but if you think there's no harm in trying.

"That's it, just try it."

Indhi gives the ring to Laila.

After receiving it, Laila fell silent and thought of wearing it or not.

(It's just trying, right? Not necessarily the ring chose me.)

Slowly, Laila inserted the ring into her ring finger, just then

"Laila, sorry. I didn't think it was much longer I thought."

"?!"

Surprised, Laila quickly inserted the ring and hid it from Kuro.

"Laila?"

Laila then looked back and saw Kuro carrying a small box in his right hand.

"Ah. it's okay. Ha.huh..."

Laila hides the ring behind her back and tries to take it off, but-

(uh?)

The ring won't come off.

Laila immediately broke out in a cold sweat because she did not know what to do.

"...Kuro's? Is that really you?"

Panic instantly disappears upon hearing Janes call Kuro's name like an old friend who hasn't seen each other for a long time. I don't know why Laila had such a bad feeling.

Surprisingly, Kuro also showed a surprised expression.

"Eh? Could you be Janes and .......Kindi?"

"Why did you forget my name rancid boy?"

Indhi seems to know Kuro as well. He looks angry when Kuro does not remember his name or indeed he hates Kuro.

"I'm kidding. How could I possibly forget you guys."

"You just remembered, don't you, boy?!"

Indhi knows very well the nature of Kuro, so she knows that Kuro does not remember her very much.

He doesn't hate Kuro, it's just that Kuro really reminds him of the person he hates the most, Leon.

"If yes?"

".............."

Indhi was silent because she did not know what to react to.

At that moment Laila felt that the three of them already knew each other well.

"Kuro, do you know them?"

"Sure, you remember I once got lost in the Dungeon and met a couple."

"......Hey, don't tell me they're Indhi and Janes?"

Kuro nodded with a smile.

(So apparently. Indhi and Janes are people who like to explore Dungeons.)

That was the reason why he always carried a magnifying glass.

"Kuro, honey, Laila, why don't we find a place to chat? There's something I'd like to talk about after a long time without seeing fufu."

Janes' advice is not wrong. They were currently in an unsuitable place to chat.

Kuro and Indhi nodded in agreement. While Laila was silent.

"I know a good place to talk."

Hearing Kuro's suggestion, Indhi and Janes nodded

Kuro then stepped out. Indhi and Janes follow Kuro, while Laila is silent on the spot.

"Laila, what are you doing? Aren't you coming?"

"....Ahh. Not that I don't want to come, but..."

".......?"

Laila then showed the ring [Blood Gear] series attached on her finger to Kuro in tears.

"What am I supposed to do?"

"""......................"""

Kuro, Indhi and Janes fell silent from astonishment, but they showed the same expression. They're shocked.

"I did ask for a ring, but... "

"That's an unexpected result, isn't it darling?"

Janes nodded.

"Hey... How is this? This ring won't come off. Quickly tell me how to take it off?"

Laila even let out her tears. He knew the ring he had in his hand was a rare item and it was extremely expensive. So it's natural that he panicked.

"You don't have to take it off. The ring chose you, so you should be proud."

"But the price.."

"The ring is free, isn't it?" ask Kuro

"It's true."

"Huh?"

Laila turned her head towards the shopkeeper woman who was just smiling happily, while Indhi and Janes nodded confirming sign.

"But why?"

"Here you go, if you want to pay for the ring, get 500 billion Yold ready!"

"Did?!"

"Now would you rather be free or pay for it?"

In the end, Laila left after asking about the ring she was wearing. At first he was surprised, but after hearing the explanation that the ring was indeed given to the person wearing it, Laila's burden was lighter.

More surprisingly, the price of the ring Laila was wearing was more than Kuro mentioned.

And Laila doesn't have that kind of money.

After that, the four of them went to a simple shop not far from the jewelry store. On the way, the four of them meet Fila and finally Fila joins them.

They sat at a large table for six people. Laila, Kuro and Fila sat together, while Indhi and Janes sat opposite them.

Note: Kuro sat in the middle of Laila and Fila and for some reason, he felt a glint as Laila and Fila stared at each other.

"Fila, aren't you helping Uncle Irho?"

"Calm down, today I've done my job, so you don't have to worry. But thanks for reminding me, I'm not a person who likes to laze around."

"....................."

Kuro fell silent as he could not do much against the two of them.

Although it sounded familiar, Kuro was able to feel the gripping air from them.

"But what a coincidence, we can meet after a few years of not seeing each other, how much do you think?"

Indhi opened the topic of conversation to replace the atmosphere that began to heat up.

"3 year. I didn't recognize you two for wearing that outfit."

"Hey, don't insult, you rancid boy. We are famous and respected people after all. So it's natural to wear clothes like this, well, even though we don't like it very much."

"But why are you wearing school uniforms? You can't go to Kuryuu Academy, right?" janes said with a little joking.

"It's a shame I went to school there."

Indhi and Janes were silent for a moment, then laughed out loud. Even they lost their dignity as rich people.

"Laila? Who exactly are these two?"

"They're Kuro's acquaintances. It seems they've been on adventures together."

"Un un. so it seems."

Although they were whispering, Kuro could hear them clearly.

"I can't believe they let you go to magic school. So what kind of surprise were you doing at that school?"

Indhi and Janes know the power of Kuro and of course the surprise that Kuro will make. Until now they still remember very well with Kuro who helped them conquer the most dangerous Dungeon in the world.

"I only conquered dragons two weeks ago."

"Heehhh. You still do that. You should stop doing crazy things" Janes said.

"Although I want to stop, but I don't know how to stop. Besides what I've done can be done by someone else, so there's no special word."

"You're right, nothing special happens to you, but only a madman will do what you do."

"Have it, by the way, why are you two in this town? Have you stopped conquering the Dungeon?"

"....No, we're not stopping. It's just that Janes was pregnant, so we stopped for a while."

"Well, even though it's only been 4 months."

Indhi and Janes smiled happily. Janes stroked his stomach a few times with a smile.

"Congratulations, Janes, Indhi."

"Congratulations, may your content be healthy."

Fila and Laila congratulated after just being silent and listening because they did not know the conversation Kuro and the two of them.

While Kuro, for some reason just glanced towards Laila. Still too soon to hope.

"thank you. That's why we traveled the world and spent Fufu's money..."

"Bas with you."

"We don't want to hear that from you, boy!"

Indhi and Janes are famous Dungeon conquerors. And that's why they have a lot of money from conquering the Dungeon.

But what made him famous was for successfully conquering the Dungeon of Astecia in Forestia. There they found a hidden treasure worth trillions of yolds.

"Then you're alone, why were you in the store?"

Indhi asked as she glanced at the small box that was on the table.

Frankly, he wondered why Kuro had come to the store that Kuro should have been unable to go to. If so, the box must have something to do with it.

"Ahh. I just took my order."

"Order? Why did you order jewelry? No, I guess 'for whom?' is that the right question?"

"Could Kuro have gotten a girlfriend and not play games by seducing the girl he just met?"

"Girl?"

Laila asks because realizing that Janes knows about Kuro's attraction, there is a girl who is with the three of them.

"Yes. I remember that girl very well. The girl's name was Yun In. She's a pretty and kind-hearted girl"

"That girl likes Kuro?"

Laila cut off Janes' words because she knew what Janes was saying next.

....and Laila's guess is correct.

Janes nodded his mark confirming.

"Ho ho's... Kuro's... I think I need to hear the story of the girl named Yun In and what you did with her."

"Kuro, I want to hear it too."

Kuro is confronted by two beautiful women who are now demons.

Kuro broke out in a cold sweat and wanted to escape immediately, but he realized that the chances of him escaping were zero.

"Can you not talk about what happened in the past?"

Realizing Kuro was acting strange and deathly pale, Janes smiled slightly while Indhi showed an exasperated expression.

"Ara. could it be the two of them...."

"Laila's my boyfriend and Fila's just my friend."

Laila smiled happily, while Fila was a little moody after Kuro said the relationship of the three of them.

What Kuro said was a fact, so he didn't have to hide it.

"That's what it looks like."

Somehow Indhi and Janes sighed deeply after hearing that. Once again they are shocked by Kuro who manages to get the paladin princess's love.

"So, you want to give Laila a gift?"

Kuro nodded with a faint smile.

"Yes, but he seems to have gotten a priceless gift..."

"Sir..."

Laila hid the ring she was wearing and quietly tried to take it off, of course she did not succeed.

"Don't worry, I'm not mad."

Kuro stroked Laila's hair to make her calmer.

"But-but..."

"Here you go, if I'm angry, I've cut off your finger."

"Don't joke around in this situation."

For people who already know Kuro, they know Kuro isn't kidding. Of course including Laila.

With the phoenix tears, Laila's fingers could be spliced again, so Kuro would definitely not hesitate to do that if he got angry.

"Sorry, could it be that the ring is the same as this?"

Suddenly Fila said something that surprised me while showing a green ring that was used as a necklace.

For ordinary people, the Fila ring is not so special, but for people who are at the table it knows very well the ring is-

"Dragonblood Gear?!"

Indhi was surprised and so was Janes. They did not expect Fila to have the Dragonblood Gear series ring.

"Eh? Is that the name of this ring? I don't know that."

"Fila, where did you get that?" ask Kuro.

"It's my mother's, but after my mother died, I gave it to me."

"Have you ever worn it?" ask Kuro again.

"Yes. At first I was surprised to not let go, but after 3 months, I can take it off and wear it at any time."

"Huh?"

Their problems immediately resolved on their own.

"Hm? Did I say something wrong?"

".....no. We're just thankful, Fila."

"I'm glad I could help."

Fila smiled happily, so did Kuro.

"So..., what's in that box? Do you mind if we see it?"

Indhi asked that in a curious tone.

Kuro just smiled a little.

"No, it's not something that's kept secret."

Kuro slowly opened the small box in front of him. Laila was impatient and curious, while Fila was just speechless.

But before the box opened completely, there was a sound of warning for a loud evacuation.

Evacuation warnings were heard throughout the city of Areshia. This is something that rarely happens considering the city is protected by high walls and shields.

In other words, could an enemy like the Red Crow appear again in the middle of the city?

Wrongfully. There's no enemy in the city, but-

Roooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

A loud roar rang out to make the glass shake. The roar instantly made them realize that their enemy this time was a monster.

And the monster is-

"Dragon?!"

Kuro and the four others came out of the tavern and saw a dragon flying right above the city.

Indhi immediately uttered what was on his mind out of awe and at the same time fear because he knew the dragon flying over the city was no ordinary dragon.

The dragon was known to the Crimson Dragon King and was one of the 13 legendary dragons to have come.
