Aoba chuckled helplessly, "If she bullies you, I'll go and bully her back for you."
"Hum~"
Having received a satisfactory answer, Yamabuki Otome cuddled against Aoba's back for a while, acting coquettishly.
The two packed their things and went to the lobby on the first floor together.
"Eh~! Lord Aoba!"
Kanna lay on the small table, groggily greeting Aoba, her eyelids drooping.
It seems even dragons need enough sleep.
With no other choice, Aoba carried Kanna back to the small recliner in front of the bar.
In the kitchen, Thor was still busily cleaning up the mess, with a large bowl of steaming hangover soup beside him.
Judging from the color and the aroma, the cooking time is pretty much right, there shouldn't be any major issues.
This dragon maid is also very talented in cooking.
"As expected of Lady Aoba, I've only been gone a few days, and the shop already has a child."
When Yamabuki Otome saw Kanna sleeping soundly on the recliner, her tone was inexplicable.
"If Otome wants to have a child, I can help her."
Aoba lifted the curtain and placed a plate of oden on the table in front of Otome.
"Lord Aoba's child?"
Upon hearing this, Otome's face flushed red, and she stroked her belly with both hands.
"But not yet."
"How long will it take?"
"That will have to wait until Lord Aoba fulfills his promise!"
"My...promise?"
Qingye chuckled softly.
Suddenly.
I finally understood.
I had told them before, in the depths of winter, that one day I would make the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons a respectable and honorable event.
The parade of a hundred demons doesn't have to be held at night; it can happen during the day too!
He looked into Yamabuki Otome's dark eyes and smiled, "Don't worry, it will definitely come true."
Since it's a promise, it must be kept.
This is the bottom line of my life principles!
"Manager, I finally succeeded!"
In the kitchen, Thor happily brought out a bowl of hangover soup that looked and tasted exactly like the one Qingye made.
"Huh?! When did the guests arrive?"
Tohru was visibly taken aback upon seeing Yamabuki Otome.
His eyes quickly searched for Kanna's location, and he was relieved to see that Kanna was already asleep on the recliner.
After placing the hangover soup down, he said helplessly:
"Manager, I will teach Kanna properly next time."
"Thor, let's rest for a while, there's hardly anyone around now anyway."
Aoba smiled and patted the spot next to her.
After Thor sat down, he chuckled softly, "Kanna is still a child, don't be too harsh on her."
"Kanna can be quite willful sometimes..."
Thor rested his chin on his hand, looking at the sleeping Kanna, unsure of what to do.
She herself was still a young female dragon girl who had just come of age.
I have absolutely no idea how to raise a child.
“Being willful is a child’s nature,” Yamabuki Otome said with a smile, her eyes narrowed. “This is the age when they’re most likely to cause trouble.”
"What she needs is care and timely correction."
Upon hearing this, Thor looked at Otome with a puzzled expression:
"This guest... is she already a mother? She seems quite experienced." (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
"Pfft~"
"Hahahaha~"
This statement came out.
Otome and Aoba exchanged a glance and laughed helplessly.
"Thor, according to the dragons' ages, she's actually about your age~"
Aoba explained with a smile.
"Eh~?!"
Thor's eyes were filled with impossibility.
"It's true, but I've helped many people take care of their children before."
A glint flashed in the maiden's dark eyes.
Both the Yamabuki Flower Youkai and Hagoromo Gitsune have memories of helping to raise children.
So she has plenty of ways to deal with children.
"Is that so?!"
"This guest is truly amazing."
"I only take care of Kanna sometimes, and I still feel very tired."
"Not to mention any more."
Thor covered his head, feeling somewhat defeated.
“These things will gradually become familiar,” Aoba patted the dragon girl on the shoulder. “Besides, if Thor feels mentally exhausted…”
"You could try sending Kanna to school."
go to school?!
Thor had never considered these issues.
Because dragons are born with a lot of magic and racial memories.
The instinct to fight is ingrained in their bones.
But aside from these...
It seems that human schools and learning are completely useless to them.
"After all, Kanna, as a child, still needs some friends. If she follows Thor around every day, she'll get annoyed eventually."
Aoba took a sip of the hangover soup; it tasted quite good.
"Kanna, are you troubled?"
"Just like you, Thor, have you ever been annoyed by your parents growing up?"
"Um..."
Thor scratched the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
It was because she had some reservations about the Chaos side, where her father, the End Emperor, resided, that she traveled around and found Fafnir and Lucoa as her friends.
The dragon girl doesn't actually reject humans.
"So, even dragons need friends, just like Lucoa and the others that Thor knew..."
"Kanna, being a child, needs friends even more."
Qingye chuckled, put down the hangover soup, and looked delighted.
This hangover soup is practically a one-to-one replica of his; Thor is truly gifted in cooking!
"Is that so..."
However, the dragon girl was lost in thought at the moment and did not notice Qingye's surprise at all.
On the contrary, Otome was somewhat surprised after hearing Aoba's choice of words (Wang Wang de).
A giant dragon?!
She winked at Qingye, as if to confirm that it was the kind of winged dragon she knew.
Aoba blinked as well.
Yes, it's what you think.
A real dragon?!
Otome parted her red lips slightly and looked at Kanna on the recliner.
Is that little child also a dragon?
Where did you recruit your own commander-in-chief from?!
In the ancient legends of this country, even the Yamata no Orochi was merely a snake god.
A giant dragon...
This is more like a fairy tale than a fairy tale for monsters!
Moreover, compared to native monsters.
"Dragon" is more of a term used in the Far East.
