Chapter 479: Fire Lizard-kun
「The Flaming Dragon…What an honor to be able to See it. 」
Chris was completely enraptured as he gazed at Dinosso’s dragon spirit.
「Ahh, he’s my best buddy. 」
Dinosso grinned with his back a little straighter and his chest swelled with pride.
「…Your appearance is completely alike. 」
「Ugh. 」
「Bfft. 」
Dinosso and Hauron choked at Butler’s observation.
Oh, yeah, now that he pointed it out, I can totally see how Chris and his chin-caressing spirit look similar too. Butler, you’re quite chill, aren’t you? Why is it so hard to get a laugh from you?
「You guys are making me wanna take a look too. 」
Retze watched our bantering with his chin resting on his hand, his elbow propped on the table.
「It’s just temporary, so why not try it too? 」
「If it’s really temporary then yeah, please. I’m a bit confused about Hauron and Dinosso’s reactions, and maybe it’s gonna be easier for me to adapt if I know what sort of world you’re seeing. 」
「Yes, yes. 」
Take a look at Daifuku too, okay.
I immediately grabbed all the supplies I needed to draw the magic circle tailored for him, then I set to work right away. Erm, since it’ll be for someone who can’t supply mana, if there’s something I need to change then it must be this part, huh.
「It’s incredible how you can easily adjust that to cater to his request. 」
Hauron wearily commented.
「Ou. What’s for lunch? 」
Dean merrily returned.
Recently, I noticed that Dean’s been properly washing his hands whenever he’s gonna eat. Ah, but maybe it’s just when I’m here, though!
「Croquettes and minestrone. I can grab some meat for you too if you’re feeling peckish. But you have to wait for a bit. 」
「Nah, take your time. And yeah, I’ll have some meat too, thanks. 」
Dean sat down and stretched his hand to the finger foods that Hauron and Chris had been snacking on.
The scratching of the pen resounded as I drew the magic circle.
「So? Why is Hauron so tired? 」
Dean casually asked while munching.
「I wonder why? What am I even doing? Maybe I wanted to make someone else even more exhausted than me… 」
Hauron seemed totally out of it.
「Well, folks do say that wise people also have their share of troubles too. I might not be good enough, but if it’s alright with you and Valmour, if there’s anything I can do to help, just tell me. 」
Dean is that type of guy who can smoothly extend a helping hand.
「Don’t say such heartwarming stuff while holding a lizard in your armpit! I don’t even know how to react! 」
Hauron covered his face and sobbed.
Ahh, and we also have the type of guy who’d deal the killer blow. Oh well, he’s right, Lizard-kun is sandwiched under his arm ー or should I say it’s licking Dean’s armpit with great gusto with its flaming tongue. His spirit is sniffing his boots too.
「What the heck, how am I supposed to react to this… Ahhh, so glad my spirit is a dragon, I mean, my spirit isn’t a pervert. 」
Dinosso was aghast.
「I, too, am grappling with an abundance of informational particulars at the present.」
Butler’s averting his eyes from time to time!
Hauron still hasn’t recovered!
「Can we do this after I eat? Seems like I won’t be able to eat a bite if we use that magic circle now. 」
「Okay. 」
I nodded to Retze’s request. Yeah, I think it’s better if he eats first.
「So, everyone’s acting strange because of this magic circle, huh? 」
「Yup. 」
I nodded to Dean’s question.
「My goodness, you’re honestly admitting to that, huh… 」
Hauron quipped. Hey, I’m always honest, you know!
「Dean, wanna use it after dinner too? Ah, but if you use it now, you can check out Dinosso’s super cool dragon up close. 」
「I’ll use it now! 」
As expected of a fan, you’re willing to take a plunge despite all the suspicious things happening around you. Dean happily grabbed a piece of meat.
「You… Sigh, guess it’s fine. This croquette tastes great, can I have another one? 」
「Beef, right? 」
The croquette Retze picked has big and crunchy breadcrumbs. The curry-flavored one, on the other hand, uses finer breadcrumbs and it’s a bit moist.
「Hey, can you make this with the other type of coating? 」
「Sure. 」
「I’ll pay you, so make some of it for me later, thanks. 」
Oh, so Retze prefers fine breadcrumbs for croquettes, huh.

Thanks.
