'Come on, Ekla, wake up!　It's morning!

...and...

　I open my eyes as someone shakes me. The curtains are open and the sunlight coming in through them is bright.

'You're finally up. You're already a sleepyhead, Ekla!

　I reluctantly get up when the girl who came to wake me up, May, says that to me. My name is Ekra. I am one of the proud dragon race, a dragon with the father of the Thunder Dragon King and the mother of the Light Dragon King. And she is also the fiancée of my beloved Ray.

　I rub my sleepy eyes and look around. Oh well, Ray has been busy lately, so he's been sleeping in May's room. I miss Ray these days because I just say hello to him.

　But I said that if I could be patient today, Ray would calm down, so I'll be patient. I can't wait to get on top of Ray's head. That's where I feel most comfortable.

'Gawd.

　As I was thinking about this, a black shadow jumps onto the bed. Her name is Clondine. She will be this May's pet.

'Gawgaw, gawgaw, gawgaw!
(Good morning, Miss Ekla!)

Cui, curlew.
(Good morning, Kron.)

　This is our daily routine every morning. Kron comes downstairs to greet me in the morning. I return it. She's my little sister, you know.

　Then I ride on Kron's back to the dining room. Apparently Ray is too busy to come, but other than that, all his fiancées are there. My fellow fiancés and rivals. They're all so nice to me, though, so we're close.

'Oh, good morning, Ekla,'

　When I walked into the cafeteria, everyone was already seated and eating their breakfast. The one who greeted me was Kana, who was new to this group. It looks like she's going to be my cousin from Ray's previous life, after all.

''Cur!''

　You have been greeted and you return the greeting. Something I learned from your mother. So I raise my right hand to greet her too. When Kana saw that, she stroked me as cute. Oh, the way you stroke her might be a bit like Rei. It seems to be addictive.

You should eat quickly without petting Kana, too. You can't go to Ekra or Klondine.

　That's what Aeris said and picked me and Kron up in her arms. It felt so good already. Kron and I were also made to sit on a special chair, and breakfast was placed in front of us.

　Before, Pricia used to make it for us, but lately there have been so many people here that they've hired a cook. The cook's food is good, but I want to try Pricia's food too.

　Then, after finishing breakfast, everyone not attending the meeting headed to the waiting room. They can't get out because it's heavily guarded outside. We're all heading in.

'Oh, Mei and Haku, good morning!

　Phelia comes running from the front. May and Haku also happily go underneath Phelia. Wow, Kron, don't run so fast. It's dangerous.

"Gah!

　Kron also turns to me and apologizes. Well, let's forgive him. Then we all go into the room together. What shall we do today?　And I can't leave this room until the meeting is over.

　In the room are Aeris, Helen, Ferris, Felis, Pricia, Krona, Kana, Mari and Luciana, who can't leave the meeting. May and Haku and Roy. Filia and her bodyguards, Mirmi and the others. Then.

"Mi gusta, gusta, oh, good morning!

　Clifford Arcadia, the boy who came into the room in good spirits and Caro's brother, who is no longer in this place. He's a blond boy. I don't know, but I've heard the maidservants talking about how he's going to be a handsome man in the future.

'Oh, Master Clifford, good morning,'

　On behalf of us, Phelia, who is the same age as us, walked up to Clifford and greeted him. Clifford's face started to turn red and frown when Phelia appeared in front of him.

　All of Ray's fiancées are grinning, as if that's all it took for them to realize what's going on. 'I wonder what's wrong?

'?　Are you all right, Mr. Clifford?　You're red in the face, aren't you?

No, no, I'm fine!　Big time, it's another beautiful day, Miss Phelia!

Thank you, Mr. Clifford. But I don't need a surname for that. Please call me Phelia.

　When Filia said that, Clifford smiled with a puff.

'Wow, okay!　Let's call her Phelia from now on!　I want you to call me Clifford, too!

　Clifford speaks so happily. Humans are interesting to watch. Your mother told me before that humans have a much shorter lifespan than dragons, but that's why they're a species that changes so quickly.

　She said that even if they couldn't win a hundred years ago, they could fight a good fight in fifty years, and even win a hundred years later. I never get tired of watching them every day.

　Then there was the man who was Phelia's bodyguard, whose name I don't remember. I spent a lot of time watching him try to get to Clifford and get caught by Mirmi and the others, getting snacks from the guys, and taking naps.

　I love spending time with May and everyone else like this, but I'm still bored without Ray. I love spending time with Ray.

　Finally, a few hours later, the meeting is over and Ray's fiancées leave the room. I naturally follow them. Helen said that they need to send the king of the country or something, so they should go to a room that has a transfer magic circle.

　When I entered that room, there was a woman hugging Ray.

''As I thought....

We're going to have to secure this one.

　Naturally, Ray's fiancées would not be silent, and the woman who had hugged Ray, or was it Merlin, had left the room with her. Along with the other fiancées.

　Oh my goodness, me too........wait a minute, me. Doesn't this have a chance?　I look at Ray as I fly through the air. Ray was looking at the door that everyone else had gone through, stunned. There was no one around. This is........a chance to have it all to myself!

　I get on Naosama Ray's head. Whew, I knew Ray's head would be soothing. Anyway, good job Ray.

Thank you.

　I pat Ray's head and he pats me on the head as well. Wow, that feels good. Ehehe, Ray's hand, it feels so warm and nice. When I'm getting comfortable like that, Ray.

Do you want to sleep with me today?

　He asked. That's not a given!　I'm a natural.

CURN!

　I reply cheerfully. Ray also leaves this room with a smile on his face. Hehehe, I haven't felt Ray's warmth while sleeping for the first time in a long time. I'm looking forward to it.

　Then it's time for everyone to eat dinner, take a bath, and go to bed, with Merlin's red face mixed in.

　The fiancées were having a girls' night out or something, so they went to a room where everyone could go. Ray looked a little sad, but that girls' meeting is where they're going to come up with a plan to attack Ray, right?　I don't know about you, so I haven't been there. Better yet, let's get to bed early!

Squeak!

'Ha, yeah. I'm going to bed early today.

　I guess I got my point across, and Ray gets into bed and dives under the covers too. Using me as a cuddle pillow is the way he sleeps with me. I can hear Ray's heartbeat too, which calms me down.

'So, goodnight, Ekla.'

C'mon.

　Ray turned off the light and went right back to sleep. He must have been very tired. I activate a certain magic after making sure Ray is asleep.

　The moment I activate the magic, my body starts to glow. And the light grows a little bit louder, and when the light subsides, a girl about 140 centimeters tall emerges from inside.

　Hmph!　Of course it was me!　It's a humanization spell I've been practicing lately. I've finally been able to get it to work. I wanted to see what I could do with it on Ray's side. I haven't been able to use it for very long, though.

　She has platinum hair and a flat body, but she has breasts that will be as big as her mother's in the future. Her slender body is now being hugged by Ray. Huh, I feel even closer to Ray than usual.

　I remember what my mother said to me. We too, Ray and the rest of the human race have a different life span. That's why I will definitely take care of Ray and the others. Are you ready to take care of them?　Even your father, who usually jokes around, told me.

　It's true that I would miss leaving my beloved Ray. But I thought it would be more sad if I couldn't be with the person I loved, even if only for a little while.

　Besides, having a child with someone I love will take away the loneliness. I can't wait to have a baby with Ray.

　I look at Ray's face as he sleeps. The one I love, the one who will always protect me.

"I love you, Ray.

　I move closer to Ray's face and lightly kiss Ray's lips with a kiss. I think Ray's expression falters a little. Huh, it's been another good day. What do you think tomorrow will bring?　I thought about that and fell asleep, feeling Ray's warmth.
