Boom!

Ooh!　What's the matter with you?　That's about it!

　d*mn it!　He's really too hard!　Even a level 9 magic clad gilgas could do some damage!

'Here you go!　Thunder Fang!

　I unleash a god-speed thrust at Mr. Levin's eyes. This is indeed a bad idea, or perhaps Levin thinks this is a bad idea, and he turns both hands into dragons. It's a strategy I've been showing lately. Can you do it?

Go!

　He unleashes a roga without question, but kid!　And be played. d*mn it!　I haven't been able to hurt him at all since he was turned into that dragon.

''Ooh, there's a lot of gaps!

　I was thinking for a moment and turned my attention away, but Levin-san didn't miss the opportunity. When I noticed, he had already waved his right hand over my stomach. This isn't good. I thought so, but it was too late.

　Mr. Levin's right hand went into my belly like he was being sucked into it, and made a disgusting crunching sound. Gufu!　This smell of iron coming from my stomach is really sickening. I'm blown away when I realize that.

　My body hits a number of trees, but even that doesn't stop me from folding everything. And then.

Hey!

　Levin is still trying to hit me. I can't take the bite, so I stab Rowga into the ground to kill the momentum. My stomach hurts like a b*tc*, but first, I have to deal with the oncoming parental idiot.

Peh!　The Thunder Emperor's Armory (Grom Arms)!

　I spit blood in my mouth, but as I activate the jutsu, lightning gushes out around me, and the lightning transforms my figure into a weapon. Levin-san charges in with a dubious expression on his face.

''Sweep!''

　I then unleash the weapons around me at Levin-san's eyes. As expected, Levin-san is surprised by this, and a surprised expression appears on his face.

''Tch!　You bastard!　You've been hiding these tricks from me!

　He swears so, but he cleaves off the approaching weapons with both hands one after another. A variety of weapons, such as swords, spears, and axes, rain down on Mr. Levin, but he doesn't let them hold him back.

　I could have expected this, so I didn't rush and let both hands activate the swords. Then I close in on Mr. Levin. I slash at Mr. Levin with the sword in my left hand. Mr. Levin takes it with his right hand and tries to hit him with his left hand, but he releases his weapon there.

　Mr. Levin doesn't want to be hit, so he tries to distance himself from me. But then I close in on him, and this time he side-steps me with his right sword. This time I crouch down to avoid it, and Levin's fist closes in on me as he raises it from below.

　I avoid Levin's fist as if doing a backflip, and before he can strike me, he drops his weapon to where I was. Zu-do-doo-doo!　and a cloud of dust. Well, look what happened.

''You're doing a little bit of work. I'll take care of you from here on out with half-dragonization!

　Coming out of the dust cloud was Mr. Levin, with both arms and legs, wings on his back, and horns. He had only changed his appearance slightly, but the intimidation that was released was completely different.

'Let's go, Oraa!'

　Levin says and rushes in. I re-position my weapon, too. How far will it go?　It's getting a little fun.

　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

　The result was a disastrous failure. I'm lying on my back on the ground, breathing hard. Levin-san is standing there with a look of composure on his face.

''It's not quite there yet. You can't attack them at all just because I turned into a half-dragon, so they can't attack you either.

　That's right, I fired my weapon at the half-dragonized Levin-san just now, but it was all played with both hands and feet. No matter how much I tried to attack him, I couldn't even scrape off those sturdy scales. And I was beaten to a pulp.

You can't pierce my scales because your magic power is being overwhelmed by the magic power I have on my body. It's a good idea to use more magic power to sharpen the blade that creates it. If you do it with that kind of image, it will be a little better.

　Levin-san gives us advice like that. It's been five days today since we defeated the bandits and Alexia and the others went to ask the Baron for help. In the meantime, Levin-san has started to give us training.

　At first I won't admit to Ekra!　And then he hit me with the intention of killing me...and he still does, but lately he's started to point out what I'm missing. Hilde says it must be fun, he says. After training like that.

Curran!

　And every time Ekla would fly in with both hands and a basket.

'Oops!　Ekla!　I wonder if he came here because he was worried about his favorite dad?

　Every time Eckla comes, Levin-san opens his arms and prepares to welcome her, and he says so, but Eckla quickly passes by Levin-san's side.

　Then she flies over to my side and lands down beside me.

Clu!

　He hands me a basket. Inside is a towel to wipe sweat off and a water bottle filled with water. And there's only one.

'Oh, thank you, Ekla.'

　I thank Ekla, my face twitching, but I thank her. Ekla responds happily to my thanks, and gets on top of me, who is sitting on her hips. Then she looks at me with round eyes from below. It's as if she's petting me?　Just like that. I've made it a daily routine to soothe myself by stroking such an éclair.

　Over there, though, Levin-san is frozen with his arms outstretched.

'Is it okay, Ekla?　Mr. Levin is frozen, though.

　I ask Ekla about it. Ekla looks at Mr. Levin for a bit, but he looks away from me with a pouty look. Then she just goes on and rubs her head against my hand. No, is that good?

'Huh. Ekla ignores Levin, who rips Ray-kun to shreds every time.

　The one who came while laughing at that was Hilde-san, who is Ekra's mother and teaches me light magic. However, Hilde-san is also laughing and saying that, but isn't that a terrible way to treat Levin-san, after all?

'Isn't that kind of pitiful?　I'm doing this knowingly, and I'm grateful to Mr. Levin for that.

'Hmph, Ekla understands that I'm doing this for you, too. I'm doing it for Ray-kun. But even though I know in my head, I can't allow it to happen emotionally. It's not right for someone you love to be hurt.

　Hilde smiles at me. I look at Ekla.

'Ekla. It's nice that you feel for me, but you can't ignore Mr. Levin. Mr. Levin is doing this for me.

　I said that as I stroked Ekla's head.

Cui.

　He replied reluctantly, "I'm not sure. I'm assuming this is an approval, right?　When I look at Hilde-san, she smiles and nods at me. This will make the wind blow a little less against Levin-san........

Ray. Next time I'm gonna kick your ass.

　Saying that, Levin-san runs off. ........I feel like it's okay to keep going. Hilde smiles bitterly as she looks at Levin-san, but she chases after him. If I leave it to that man, it will be fine.

　After that, I'm still stroking Ekla and taking a break.

Ray. There you are.

　And Ferris comes over. Then he puffs out his cheeks when he sees Ekla on my hunched legs. What's up?

He hasn't been stroking my head or tail lately.

　Then he says something like that. Was it?　I feel like that if you ask me. That was a bad idea. Ferris said he liked it when I touched his head and tail with a comb and hand.

　As if sensing such an atmosphere, Ekla suddenly takes off. Then she starts biting and pulling on Ferris' sleeve. Ferris says, "What?　What? He looks surprised. And then he pulls it up to in front of me and this time he starts spinning in the air, pointing at Ferris with his short right leg. You want me to spin?

　Ferris also realized what it meant and started to turn, and when he was in a state where he had his back to me, Ekla said, "Cur! I squeal. Fearful of this, Ferris stops and looks behind him.

　He moved easily in front of Ferris, not caring about Ekla. And then Ferris and Ekla look at each other for a few seconds.

''Ssshhh!

Ah!

　Ekla has hit Ferris's head with a massive blow!　And Ferris stays back. And of course I'm the one behind him, and Ferris catches my leg and falls backwards.

　Her pretty tail-tailed ass falls to my belly. I manage to hold on, but it hurts a little. And then Ferris is sitting on my lap. I could see what Ekla had done to Ferris. He gave Ferris a special seat.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get in. She throws out her four legs and relaxes her legs. Ferris, too, is blushing, but thanks Ekla for her help. And he wags his tail in front of my face. That tickles, dude.

　I just scoop it up with my hand, since I don't have a comb right now, but Ferris is smiling happily. Ekla seems to have fallen asleep on her head. Her tail occasionally pecked and pecked at the back of her head, but she must be asleep.

　After about 10 minutes of being like that, Ferris suddenly turns to me. What is it?

'I forgot!　I'm actually here to call for Ray!
　
　Ferris says, sounding flustered. What's going on?

Have you come for me?

'Yes!　Alexia is back!

　Hey!　You could have said that first!　Ferris stands up and I stand up with great vigor. This surprises the sleeping Ekla, and she pecked me on the head in protest. I'm sorry about that.

　As it is, I run to the village and when I reach it, there are about ten carriages lined up at the entrance of the village, and Alexia and Helen are standing near the entrance. But the atmosphere is a little strange. What can I say, they are angry. What's going on?
