　Do you want to come down? I can feel through the bond that he is listening to me. The tail of the sailor's rump is curled up and comes closer as a foothold.

"I can come down, can't I? Thank you, master dragon. I'll leave you to it.

　While I was hesitating, His Highness Lily, who had just gotten up, jumped onto the tail of Sairouk with a nimble movement, and then she ran along the tail.

　Watch out, watch out, watch out. If I warned her, she'd tell me to wait until we're married before she starts acting like a husband again, you little princess. I'd tell her to stop hanging around, but I'll just have to be patient.
