“Unngh…”
It’s been a pretty comfortable night even though this wasn’t a bed or something. We were camping out in the open. I’m glad we didn’t get attacked by any monsters. For some reason, the monsters decided to stay back. Could it be because I was here? I mean, I am an Elder dragon, considered a Divine beast.
I don’t think that anything is divine about me though.
“Oh. Good morning Lady Velkra.”
I turn over and see that Carmine had already gotten up.
“Were you up early?” I ask her.
“Yes. I wanted to inform the guards that we would need breakfast now. Since we didn’t eat anything last night and went to sleep.” She says.
Oh. That’s right… they were so exhausted that they forgot about food and ended up sleeping.
Even I was so shocked about the barrier thing that I forgot to ask about the food when we made the stop.
“So they are out hunting for now,” Carmine says.
“Hunting? They’ll hunt animals?” I ask her.
“Yes. They probably will catch some rabikas or else…” Carmine says.
“Rabikas? What are those?” I ask her in turn.
That’s a name I’ve never heard before.
“They are cute. It’s a shame that they would have to hunt them.” She says.
“Cute?” I ask her again tilting my head.
“Yes! They are very cute! They have long ears and they hop all around! Isn’t that cute!” she says.
Hop around? Long ears?
They’re rabbits? I guess they have different names for animals here.
“I would like to see one…” I say to Carmine.
“You will probably see one when Lucius comes back…” Carmine says looking towards the opening of the tent.
I look around a bit and find that the maid is sitting in seiza. Looking at me with a gleaming gaze.
“What?” I ask Felia.
“Please don’t bother yourself. I’m just admiring your overwhelming beauty.” Felia says back.
Don’t! Okay!
It looks like you are falling in love or something!
I can’t help but feel worried about her future!
I don’t want Yuri Romance!
“Can I change now?” I ask Felia.
“Certainly.” She says.
I get up and go around the tent. There is a tub sitting on the ground with a mug in it.
“Please. Freshen yourself up first.” Felia says.
She picks up the mug and directs me to wash my face.
I splash some water on my face and then wipe it with a towel which Felia handed me soon.
“Now let’s go and dress you up,” Felia says.
“Nope. You are not going anywhere. I can change myself.” I say to her.
Honestly, I feel like being ogled when she looks at me when I’m changing.
I know that I’m beautiful. Never thought I’d say that about myself.
But so many people have said that when they looked at me that it would be hard to deny it.
Is it the same for other beautiful women? I guess life is tough for Gorgeous Girls. They get mostly admired by men though. Felia there must be a special case.
“Lady Carmine! We are back!” I hear Lucius from the other side of the tent.
“Please. Lady Velkra let’s get you changed.” Felia says It again.
She looks forward to it, doesn’t she?
“I just said that I can change myself!” I retort.
“Aw~” comes out.
“don’t Aw me!” I say back.
Honestly, I don’t know what she’s thinking at times. I can’t understand her personality. Sometimes she’s quiet and sometimes she just simps over me. She doesn’t say anything if I don’t ask anything. She just stares at me with sparkly eyes all the time.
Does she admire me like a prince that came to save her?
I walk around the tent to the entrance.
“Oh. Good morning Lady Velkra!” I hear Lucius Greeting me from far.
“Hello, Lucius…” I say back.
“Look Lady Velkra! We caught a bunch of Rabikas!” Lucius walks toward me.
What I see in his hands are a bunch of rabbits. All bloodied. They have holes in them.
Looks like they used arrows to hunt them.
“Merciless lot you guys are…” I say to Lucius.
I didn’t want to see them like this!
I wanted to see them alive and hop around! THAT would have been cute.
I’m starting to like cute things. I guess I’m turning into a girl at core too…
“Please. We won't be able to eat if we didn’t hunt them…” Lucius says.
“I know, I know…” I say as I continue to enter the tent.
It’s a bit embarrassing to be seen in a nightgown like this. I guess that’s why girls get all dressed up and everything.
As I change In the tent I hear that Lucius and others are helping to light up a fire.
I change into my clothes completely.
Thank goodness Felia didn’t peek or anything…
I really can’t trust her. She could be looking for an opportunity to enter the tent.
As I walk toward the opening of the tent I smell something.
Something delicious.
AH! FOOOOD!
I dart outside and see that they had already gotten everything ready and were cooking the Rabiks on the sticks.
“Hah~ smells good,” I say as I smell the cooking rabiks.
“It would be ready in some time. Please wait for a moment.” Says Carmine.
She directs me to a table with several chairs rounding it.
Wait… that’s weird…. They don’t have anything that could store all this stuff…
I even thought for a second last night… where did they pull out this stuff from?
“Um… You guys don’t have the space to store all this stuff… where did this come from?” I ask them.
“You see. This table is a bit foldable. And these chairs too… this way they can easily fit into the magic bag.” Carmine tells me.
“Oh, I see…” I say.
Wait… Magic bag?
“Hey what did you say? A magic bag?” I ask her again.
“You don’t know? We have a magic bag with us that we use to store things in.”
Do they have a magic bag? Like a virtual storage?
“Then where did you put the fish?” I ask her.
“The fish was in an extra carriage being pulled by ours. The tents and the lodging were in the magic bag. Even though it’s a magic bag, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t get messed up if it gets flipped over…” she says.
So the fish was in a different storage and the tents were in the magic bag, huh?
Oh. I forgot about the stuff we were carrying with us…
The bandits. Yeah.
I forgot about them. They’re still there though. Looking at us with puppy eyes.

“What do you guys want food?” I ask them.
The bandits flinch. Then one of them manages to gather some courage.
“I-If you could mercifully… spare some…”
They are looking at me in such anticipation for an answer that even I’m feeling sorry for them.
I was going to kill them earlier though.
“Lucius… do we have enough for them too?” I ask him.
“You want us to feed them too? I know that they would be hungry but… will it be right to do so?” he says.
Everyone is looking at me in surprise.
“It’s not that weird guys. What would you do if they died of hunger along the way? You won’t be able to interrogate them would you?” I say to him.
“I see…” he says.
“They won’t be causing any trouble either,” I say to him.
“If they do, I will be the one to cut their heads off,” I say as I glare at the bandits.
The bandits let out an eep and go back silent.
Yeah. That’s it. Good boys.
After some time, the breakfast gets ready and Lucius serves us.
“Give it to them too..” I say that to Lucius as I head toward the bandits.
They are currently on the ground. I dispersed the wind magic before even though it doesn’t consume that much of my mana.
I open the binding spell that I had used on them.
“Sit in a line. All of you will get food.” I say to the.
Merciful aren’t I?
“Thank… you…” says the commander.
“I didn’t say that to you...” I glare at him.
“EEP!” the commander lets out a womanly sound.
That’s better. Suffer. YOU should fear me.
Lucius serves them a portion of Rabik and some bread that got saved from all
the flipping.
We eat it too in silence. I guess it is etiquette here too. To eat in silence.
Once all of us finish eating I bind up the bandits again.
Oi. Where’s Twixie?
“TWIXIE?! Where are you?!” I shout in a concerned voice.
“Hnngh… What is it, Master….” I hear her voice.
“Where did you go?!” I say again.
“I’m here….” She says as she pokes out her head from my hair.
God this girl.
“You nearly stopped my heart there. I thought you got stepped on or something.” I say to her.
“I was in here since morning….” She says as she rubs her eyes.
“So Cute~!” I hear Felia now.
“Here eat some of this. We gotta be on road soon.” I say to her.
“Okay…” she takes the small piece of rabik from my hand.
Some time passes when she finishes it and we wrap everything up.
“Should we go then?” Asks Lucius.
“Yes. Let’s cover as much distance as we can. The horses have rested enough too.” Says Carmine in return.
We get into the carriage again and start moving.
“It’s a good day isn’t it?” says Carmine.
“It is. It’s clear and sunny.” I say back.
“I hope every day is like this…” she mutters to herself.
Some time passes as we keep moving.
Suddenly a huge thunder is heard and we all jump In our seats.
“What was that?!” Carmine says.
We look out the carriage window and find pitch black cloud towering over us.
“This took a turn didn’t it?” I say to myself.
Carmine has so much bad luck. Even though she said it was a good day.
“This is unusual. It doesn’t rain at this time of the year…” Carmine says.
“!” I flinch.
As I look outside the window, I see a huge tornado forming up in front of us.
“Lady Carmine! Lady Valkra! We have an emergency! There is a storm in front!”
A storm?! How did that happen!
I try to inquire by World Perception.
“Carmine. There seems to be a bunch of mana swirling in there…” I say to her.
“Mana? That could be very bad.” She says.
I think that a tornado in front is bad enough.
“If there is mana in that tornado then this must be a mana storm!” she says in a loud voice.
“What’s that?! “ I say on queue.
“It’s a disaster caused by the excess of Mana in a concentrated spot. It is a natural phenomenon that happens when Mana produced naturally forms up in one place!” she says back.
Mana Calamity? I’ve heard of that before… in a novel…
But that was teleportation… what was it? Jobless…? Something?
Should I do something about it? What can I do?
I’m an Elder dragon so there must be something I could do.
Skills! Yeah, those!
I open my menu in a hurry. Not remembering that I don’t need it.
