Chapter 544.2

“–I met this Old Man by chance a little while ago. I felt his presence, so I went to say h.e.l.lo to him, and he told me that Leficious is pregnant. I thought I had to go see her, so I came along.” (Cicerius)

[I’m sorry for the sudden visit. I thought I should come here once since they were about to give birth.] (Spirit King)

Cicerius, an Ancient Dragon, and the King of Spirits, who was floating around in his robe as usual, met on the way from Rogard Empire to the Dwarven Village.

Apparently, the two were acquaintances.

I see, so that’s how they ended up together.

Come to think of it, I met this Old Lady around the Rogard Empire as well.

The Spirit King was in the Rogard Empire a while ago, so there was a possibility that these two met when he was roaming the empire, as beings who could sense the presence of others from far away.

“Ah, thank you for coming all the way. They were born a while ago. Oh, Old Lady Cicerius is meeting him for the first time. This is Rir. He’s my pet, my buddy, and a dungeon monster. And they are Rir’s wife and daughter.” (Yuki)

The Rir’s family greeted the two respectively.

“Kuu.” (Rir’s Wife)

“Kuw.” (Setsu)

“Yes, h.e.l.lo. I’m Cicerius. But well, this is quite rare, isn’t it? A Fenrir.” (Cicerius)

Old Lady Cicerius, who was in her human form, looked at the three animals with curiosity.

“…Kuh!?” (Rir’s Wife)

Perhaps because they sensed the strength of the two, Rir’s Wife and child looked a little frightened as they hid behind Rir.

[Kukuku, umm, we are friends of your family. So, will you be our friend as well?]  (Spirit King)

“…kuh!” (Setsu)

“…Haha, you’re a pretty girl. Then will you be friends with this grandma?” (Cicerius)

“Kuh!” (Setsu)

“Oh, my, thank you.” (Cicerius)

As Old Lady Cicerius patted Setsu who came out from under Rir, Setsu’s tail started to wag.

Old Lady Cicerius’s a natural at this.

When I first met her, she was quick to get Enne to like her, so I guess she’s good at capturing the hearts of children.

–I then returned home with the two of them and Rir’s family.

“I’m home, we have visitors.” (Yuki)

When I said this, Lefi was the first to respond.

“Well, I knew you would be here eventually, from your usual mood, but… this is quite a rare combination, isn’t it? The Old Man aside, it’s been a long time since we met Cicerius.” (Lefi)

“Ah, it’s been a long time, Leficious-chan. Fufufu, well, it’s not polite to call you ‘-chan’ any more I would say. You’ve changed a lot.” (Cicerius)

“Well, I am a mother now. I can’t be selfish forever.” (Lefi)

“Well, you are still quite selfi- it’s nothing.” (Yuki)

When I was about to joke around, I saw Lefi clenching her fist, so I immediately shut my mouth.

“Careful, if you had said all that, your wife would have given you a fistful.” (Lefi)

“Old lady Cicerius, she’s still like that.” (Yuki)

“Hahaha, I’m glad to see you two are really getting along.” (Cicerius)

[Hmm, the young ones are not around?] (Spirit King)

“Oh, they’re at school. They’ll be back in a little while, so you can say h.e.l.lo at that time.” (Yuki)

Then Lyuu, Layla, and Nell each greeted the two – showing Riou and Sakuya to them.
