While Vaje pondered what to do now, it was actually a simple question and she would probably give an answer soon enough.

For now, Vaje would have to find an answer for herself regarding how to act toward Liu Yu, but there was still another problem. As Liu Yu’s facial expression changed, she was quickly approached by her mother, who was laughing.

「Anyway, Mother, why are you here, when you should have been staying in Ryugu Palace? How are your official duties?」

Liu Yu’s unusually strict questioning didn’t break Ryu Kitsu’s smile in the slightest, as if she was just leaves swaying easily in the wind.

「Of course, just like you, I have work to do after I’m finished here. If an emergency situation arises, I can just send a projection of myself, and if I need to, I can leap back home」

In this case, “leap” doesn’t mean to jump or fly in the sky, but rather to leap through space and return home to Ryugu Palace at the bottom of the ocean in an instant. Such a feat would be nothing for someone of Ryu Kitsu’s power.

Even so, I was still wondering how the Ryugu Palace was doing without its lord at home, but Ryu Kitsu lifted her chin and smirked a bit, much like a mischievous child would when thinking up a good prank.

My, how cute.

「And when you received Dran’s invitation and you got so excited, I became unbecomingly envious.
I’ll never forget how much you were running around, and the way you were excitedly telling me, “Mother, Mother, I was contacted by Dran, he called me!”」

When Ryu Kitsu imitated the tone of Liu Yu’s voice at that time, Liu Yu’s white, beautiful skin instantly lit up to a vermillion color, and she screamed at her mother, who only laughed and didn’t fight back.

For Ryu Kitsu, Liu Yu’s hits felt like nothing more than a light massage, as if she was rolling a ball in the palm of her hands. I wanted to keep watching this playful quarrel between the mother and daughter, but our time was limited. So we have to make the most of it.

「Now, now, Liu Yu. I understand how you feel, but she’s already here, so there’s no helping it. I would feel bad sending her back now, and I want to have her be an opponent for our training」

Liu Yu still seemed dissatisfied even as I tried to mediate, but when she looked at her mother, who was simply grinning and laughing without holding back, Liu Yu knew that it was hopeless no matter what she said, and her shoulders drooped in disappointment.

「Liu Yu, you heard what Dran said, so let it go this time.
Besides, just like you, I am also looking forward to spending time with Dran. If we wanted, I was thinking Dran could become my son-in-law, or I could even make him my husband」

While making a popping sound with her mouth, Ryu Kitsu put her hands to her faintly blushing cheeks, as she writhed about in embarrassment.

Having never seen or even imagined her mother being so embarrassed before, Liu Yu’s mind went completely blank and she was speechless.

「Lady Ryu Kitsu, there is a limit to how much you should tease Liu Yu. I feel bad interrupting you two, but please, let’s stop here」

「Oh my, have I been scolded by Dran? Then I shall stop teasing Liu Yu for now.
But, Dran, everything I said earlier wasn’t a lie, you know? Please keep that in mind」

Fumu, while Ryu Kitsu mischievously said that, a light of seriousness definitely shone in her eyes.

Apparently, a lot of things had somehow changed without me knowing. I intended on devoting my entire human life to the development of Bern Village, but I wonder what will happen in my future?

Well, it seemed our secret conversation had gone on for too long, as Selina, Nell and the others began to look at us inquisitively, and since this was a good point to stop, we decided to end our secret talk here.

「Now then, let us begin our special training.
Just in case, we’ve borrowed the equipment called Judgement Ring from the Magic Academy, and I prepared a Barrier Golem, to deploy a barrier for us.
This way, we can keep the damage to our surroundings from our fight to a minimum, so please don’t hold back during the mock battle」

In addition to the Thermae Golem and the Horse Golem, the third golem was another Thermae Golem, but with a round body and face, as well as a square box on its back that had a device inside to deploy a barrier at any place or time.

From its appearance, it looked like a barrier with decent performance, but since I was the one who made it, it was actually possible to develop a barrier that would be twice as powerful as the one that the Galois Magic Academy uses.

It was a prototype golem that I had made to protect from attacks by monsters or other races after I return to Bern Village, since the moat and wall weren’t enough to protect the village.

Of course, if Ryu Kitsu were to go all out, she would destroy it, but unless she is up against an evil god or a demon lord, she wouldn’t need to go all out.

「All our preparations are complete, Dran. So, what combinations will we start with first? Well, of course, my first opponent should be Vaje!!」

Maybe because she was overflowing with energy, Phenia’s breathing was rough and sparks were beginning to fly off her whole body. It seems her body constitution tends to emit heat in response to emotional fluctuations.

Vaje, now on the receiving end of Phenia’s intense gaze, was never really one to get worried about things, so she quickly stopped hanging her head, and then she stood up and looked at Liu Yu.

「Alright, I’ve decided! No matter what your true identity is, it doesn’t change that you’re a naive and cheeky little girl. So I won’t change my attitude toward you! You got that?」

「My, you’re so ill-mannered. One day, I will scold you for that, Vaje」

Although Liu Yu protested in an angry tone, she seemed to be happy that she hadn’t lost the precious friend who treats her in this way.

Vaje, it’s good that you said that so enthusiastically, but it’s a little pitiful that you glanced at Ryu Kitsu fearfully and breathed a sigh of relief when you saw that she looked rather happy as well.

On the other hand, Phenia, who was ignored by Vaje, was of course not amused, and was understandably in a bad mood.

「Hey! Could you not ignore me, please!?」

「Hmm, oh, you want me to be your opponent? I heard from Dran that you have the factor of a phoenix, but hmm, how interesting.
I’ll make sure you have a good taste of an Ancient Dragon’s flames, which can burn even phoenixes who resurrect from within flame」

For Vaje, who by her nature has always liked wielding her power, a person like Phenia, who can burn against her head-on in opposition, might be a good match-up for her.

This was good because I had originally planned to let Vaje handle being Phenia’s opponent, so that left Liu Yu and Ryu Kitsu. I had asked Liu Yu to be Nell’s opponent, since she is a water user.

With that, the only one left was our unexpected guest Ryu Kitsu, who was wielding a sword, so I should ask her to be Christina’s opponent.

「Liu Yu, can I ask you to be Nell’s opponent? As a water and ice user, it would be a good experience for Nell to fight someone who is a stronger water user than herself」

「Oh, y-yes. I humbly accept」

Liu Yu was still speechless because of her mother’s shocking statements, but when I called out to her, she regained her senses and turned to face Nell, who was all riled up with competitiveness from being called the weaker water user.

Nell, who had been on a losing streak against me and Christina lately, seemed to be quite fired up and ready to fight.

Of course, I don’t think someone like Eksu from the west would be able to win against a True Dragon like Liu Yu either, but this mock battle against Liu Yu would be a good opportunity to dramatically increase Nell’s power and abilities.

「Since Liu Yu and Vage will be occupied, that leaves just me, Lenia, and Dran, but should we ask Lady Ryu Kitsu to teach us on her own?」

Maybe it’s because the Dragon Slayer factor was making her sluggish, but Christina was somewhat lacking in energy. With this, she wouldn’t be able to fight with her usual full power.

Since Ryu Kitsu was an Imperial Dragon, rather than a Celestial Dragon [1], she would make a much better opponent than Vaje would. Fumu, then what should Lenia and I do?

Honestly, if Ryu Kitsu and I were to fight, unlike everyone else, it wouldn’t be her helping me, but rather me helping her grow stronger.

If Ryu Kitsu and I get carried away and forget to hold back, the barriers might break, and the topography of the whole area would end up changing.

When I turned to look at Ryu Kitsu, this beautiful Dragon who had come here in a playful manner had already pulled her double-edged sword from its sheath, and her attitude alone clearly declared, “Come at me any time.” She sure is full of motivation.

For everyone other than me, this was a rare opportunity to train with Ryu Kitsu, who boasts a power that is comparable to that of the Water Dragon Emperor, Ryoukichi. But Lenia has been hostile toward Ryu Kitsu since the beginning, and seemed like she would suddenly bite her… Fumu.

[1. TL Note: The “Dragon Slayer” factor that Christina has refers to a “Celestial” Dragon, not an “Imperial” Dragon. So Ryu Kitsu, being an Imperial Dragon, would not be affected by Christina’s Dragon Slayer factor as much as other dragons would be.]
