Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

Seeing through her stubbornness, Ritsu Narose took the initiative to let her leave the kitchen filled with the smell of fish.

Instead of rejecting the kindness, Nagasaki Suyo, who was forced to retreat by the horror kitchen, could only sit outside in disappointment and watch with others as the orb burst out from the lava dragon's belly.

Although it is called a "gem", it is difficult to associate it with the sparkling jewels in our imagination just by looking at its rough appearance.

After collecting the cleaned gems into a box, Aisha explained, "Special processing is required to activate and identify the characteristics of the gems and then embed them into the equipment."

"It sounds like the strengthening system in the game." Picking up a gem that had rolled on the ground, Chihaya Aine couldn't find anything strange about it.

Not sure what the "game" and "enhancement system" the pink-haired girl meant, after glancing at the mechanical clock hanging on the wall, Elsa simply told them that an ancient dragon skilled in smelting would come here tonight.

But after the lava dragon-themed dinner ended, no one saw the ancient dragon appear.

Without going out for further exploration, everyone gathered next to the hot spring in the underground building complex under the leadership of the Ice Curse Dragon.

"Why is there a hot spring here..."

Standing in the locker room, preparing to undress, Shiina Riki looked at Kaname Rakuna who was still amusing herself with the processed giant fish fin, and felt that if she continued like this, she would become the role of the complainer in the comics.

"Aren't you guys surprised at all?"

Looking at Chihayaba, Aine, and Nagasaki Suzuyo, Shiina Riki tried to roll a dice with them that would get an approval decision.

However, she never expected that these two people had become accustomed to it.

Seeing that the two of them were not only not surprised by this, but were also choosing new yukata to change into after soaking in the hot spring, Shiina Riki felt that there was a pathetically thick barrier between him and them.

As for the lights...

and many more……

Where's the light?!

She looked left and right but couldn't find any sign of Takamatsu Deng. It was not until she walked towards the hot spring where mist was floating that Shiina Riki saw that Deng was already soaking in the hot spring.

And in the hot spring, there was another strange woman.

Compared to the young girl whose body has not yet fully grown, this stranger exudes the charm of a mature woman.

Just seeing the huge creature half floating on the water is enough to make people secretly frightened.

Different from the girl who had the temperament of an ice princess that I had seen before, she looked more like a graceful and elegant queen, her golden hair sparkling under the illumination of the surrounding dragon crystals.

In stark contrast to her mature body that resembled that of a noble lady, her appearance was remarkably youthful, seemingly not much different from that of a young girl.

Especially the bun-like hairstyle on her head, which is made for the convenience of bathing, adds a perfect touch of girlishness to her.

"Hello~"

With narrowed eyes, Orilite Talot, the ancient dragon whose true form was the Brilliant Dragon, lazily soaked in the hot spring and greeted the strange guest.

"I didn't expect there would be guests~"

He stretched himself, and two heavy human hearts swayed up and down, creating ripples on the water.

Not daring to answer, Shiina Riki walked silently to a seat a little further away and sat down.

Not long after, Yao Lena came in, waving the fins tied to her hands, and then began to swim back and forth in the hot spring like a cat paddle.

After her, Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Suyo—as well as three other ancient dragons—came here.

As a Frost Dragon with inherent coldness, Elsa consciously sat in the most remote position, creating two extreme areas of cold and hot with the Kulve Dragon on the other side.

This situation was not considered when the hot spring was first built.

But as the saying goes: Every failure makes you wiser.

After an accident, the hot spring was renovated to divide it into three different areas that can coexist.

The area with suitable temperature formed between the two of them gradually became lively.

To be precise, this was a result caused by Melo.

When she placed the wooden tray in her hand on the water, Chihaya Aine was immediately attracted by the beautiful-looking drink.

With a rainbow-like gradient from top to bottom and a few ice cubes in the mix, this eye-catching drink stands out against the steaming hot springs.

"Want a drink?"

Noticing her expression, Melo's face suddenly showed the evil expression of the bald office worker at the table when he persuades the newcomer to drink.

At the same time, Jiwa, who was just taking a bath quietly next to him, couldn't help but turn his eyes when he heard these words, and then kept wandering to the faces of Chihaya Aine and others.

In the end, she gave up the idea of ​​standing up and stopping Mello.

"Is this... wine?"

As the former student council president, Chihaya Aine naturally knew the rules that students should follow - one of which was the prohibition of drinking.

Having said that, she sometimes sees students her age changing out of their uniforms and drinking beer in the cafeteria.

Having lived in Tokyo for a while, Mello knew exactly what Chihaya Aine was worried about.

“It’s just the juice I brewed myself~”

He poured himself a glass first, and got some ice cubes from Elsa. Melo then took a bath and drank the drink happily.

That's definitely wine...

Seeing the expression on Mello's face, Nagasaki Motoyo immediately thought of the look her own mother would occasionally show when she came home at night.

Although I don’t think my mother is troublesome, the look on her face is really speechless.

No one really thinks that taking care of a drunk is a pleasant experience, right?

Although I understand the reasons such as social engagements, it is better to stay as far away from her as possible when she is drunk and acting crazy.

Nagasaki Motoyo also did not choose to stop Chihaya Aine. Rather, she was happy to see this pink-haired girl acting like an annoying drunk after getting drunk.

There is no doubt that this is a foolish act that lowers one's own reputation.

And then I thought about Naruse Ritsu being here...

Heh, Chihaya Aine...don't blame me for being mean...

With a slight smile on her face, Nagasaki Suyo was unaware that the emotion she showed had been noticed by Jiwa who was observing them.

——This is getting more and more interesting.

Thinking of this, the Dark Light Dragon acting as the background nearby shrank its body underwater again, trying to find any clues on the people.

Under her gaze, the pink-haired girl who looked not very smart slowly raised the glass filled with colored liquid.

76. Fishing in the Styx (VIII) Item 4: Wife and Wife

Unlike hunters who meticulously strip the prey of its materials after hunting, ancient dragons usually bring the entire prey back to their lairs. However, most of the materials on monsters are ultimately unused—after all, ancient dragons don't need to forge equipment like hunters do.

But if I throw them away directly, I can't bear to part with those beautiful feathers, scales, and rare items like the reverse scale jade.

Therefore, Ritsu Narose would sometimes trade with craftsmen and customize clothes despite their look of wastefulness.

The clothes that the girls changed into after taking a hot spring bath were voluntarily sponsored by creatures such as Thunder Dragon and Floating Dragon.

After changing her clothes and walking out of the locker room, she saw a figure tied to a stone pillar. No matter how she screamed, it was of no use.

When her movements become increasingly violent and she is about to break free, several red lightning bolts will emerge from the ropes that bind her, giving her just the right amount of electric therapy, causing her to temporarily lose her ability to move.

Apparently, the guy who induced her to drink was punished.

But Nagasaki Suyo didn't care about that.

Smiling, she silently watched Naruse Ritsu carry the dizzy Chihaya Aine out of the hall.

Damn it... Is this the case of "Fools Have Good Luck (Six) VIII"?

Unable to accept such an ending, Nagasaki Suyo was about to head to the guest room when she suddenly realized someone was looking at her.

Turning around, she saw the girl named "Jiva" staring at her.

Without saying a word, Jiwa just smiled very cutely and left, leaving Nagasaki Suyo standing there.

Nagasaki Suyo had no idea what she was thinking and was not interested in paying attention - she was more curious about whether those two people would do something inappropriate.

Although she believed that Naruse Ritsu would keep the distance he should keep, she did not trust Chihaya Aine. Especially when she was drunk!

Following Miss Aisha's instructions, Nagasaki Suyo quickly walked to the rest area and soon found the private room for them to rest.

Just as I was about to knock on the door, it was opened from the inside by Ritsu Narose.

Just like Nagasaki Suyo's expression at this moment, seeing her appear here, Naruse Ritsu was also a little surprised.

Noticing her strange look, Naruse Ritsu explained, "Aine is already asleep. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow morning."

"Lil...any plans for tonight?"

"fishing."

"Eh?"

After returning to her room, taking her backpack, fishing rod and basket, Ritsu Narose and Nagasaki Motoyo followed her to the pond outside the building.

Normally, no other creatures could live at the end of this new continent. This is the energy hub that feeds the Dark Lantern Dragon, and only the Dark Lantern Dragon and its guardians appear here.

But that's the general case.

Life underground is really boring. Even though they often go to the surface to bask in the sun, they still spend most of their time in this dark underground.

In order to pass the time, Ryu Narose and Mello and others manually created a pond connected to the river, and released the fish they caught from outside into the pond to achieve sustainable fishing.

Unfolding the folding stool, he loaded the bait while chatting with Nagasaki Suyo.

"Aureliet is doing alchemy over there, why don't you go over and take a look?"

"Ori...Lit? Is that the lady who looks so golden?"

Recalling what Ritsu Narose had said when they were shopping before, Nagasaki Suyo quickly understood.

"Although many people call Xuan Hui Long the [Golden Earth Mother Goddess], her actual age is not much older than mine."

"Aureliet Talot—if we use the human definition of kinship, she can be considered the eldest sister of Mello and me, but we are not related by blood at all."

After correcting the part of Su Shi's words that was easy to misunderstand, Ming Se Ritsu swung the fishing rod in his hand, letting the bait float close to the rock wall.

Putting the fishing rod aside, Ritsu Narose did not stare at the water in a daze as usual, but looked at the girl next to him who had a lot to say.

Having just finished soaking in the hot spring, the girl's face looked rosy, and paired with the clothes made of pink and white floating dragon fur, she looked particularly cute.

"If you have anything to say, feel free to say it. There are only two of us here anyway."

I took out the music player from my backpack and turned it on. "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss II slowly played in another world.

As the waltz gradually spread in the space, Nagasaki Suyo's originally restless mood also calmed down.

Then, she slowly expressed the doubts in her heart.

"My experiences before coming to Tokyo?"

Seeing that Nagasaki Suyo was very curious about this, Naruse Ritsu did not hide his own experience.

After briefly summarizing his memories, he slowly said, "The first place I settled was... Romania in Europe. At the time, I bought a Western-style house near Transylvania to accompany a friend in their search for vampire legends."

"vampire?"

"Yes, but the specific situation involves personal privacy, so I can't reveal more. Just think of her as a vampire fan who wants to make a pilgrimage to the holy land where vampire culture originated."

she?

Noticing the key words in Ritsu Narushe's words, Nagasaki Suyo blinked.

Keeping this information in her heart, she changed the subject.

"Come to think of it, this world doesn't speak Japanese, does it? Why do people seem to be communicating without any problems?"

"I don't know."

"Eh?"

"I don't even know the end of the universe, how can I know this?"

Seeing the sudden movement of the fish float on the water, Mingse Ritsu knew that his casual fishing method was successful again.

He easily lifted the rod and brought out of the water a fish with a dark blue back and almost transparent body parts revealing a bright orange-red color.

“It’s sashimi fish.”

Seeing that the midnight snack was found, Mingse Ritsu did not put it back into the fish basket, but took out a chopping board and a knife from his backpack to prepare it on the spot.
