Chapter 371 Wives Are Strong

While Deris was on a risky date, Haruna and the others came to a shop. Its a souvenir shop that sells dragon wooden statues carved from the islands trees and a variety of local products. Haruna, Chinatsu, and Hund are having a small talk while looking at the products inside the shop.

Why did Touko-chan suddenly disappear? She said that she would go with us, right? Did she have an urgent business?

Lily-san decided to stay, so maybe Touko is taking care of her. Despite what she said, her devotion to her master is something to learn from.

When I went into the corridor of the inn, I saw Touko instantly wrapped in flames and disappeared. Was that just my imagination?

Come on, Hund-kun. Touko-chan doesnt use flames like Nell-san, you know? It was just your imagination!

I-I see? Well, if Haruna says so, then it was probably just my imagination. Okay, I wont think about it anymore.

I have a bad feeling about it.

Chinatsu feels a little uneasy about the disappearance of Touko and the sudden flames. However, there is nothing she can do now, so she could only pray for Toukos safety.

By the way, Chinatsu-chan, are you going to buy souvenirs for someone? It seems like youre writing something on your notepad.

Ah, yes. Im the vice leader of the Magic Knight Order, so Im going to buy some for the knights. I mean, I and Nell-shish have been absent for a long time, so I have to at least do this much. Ive already bought souvenirs at Damaya for Wee-chan and our classmates, but well, the souvenirs here are completely different. Should I buy some for everyone here too? What do you think, Haruna?

Im thinking of stripping off the materials of rare monsters and using them as souvenirs!

T-Thats quite reasonable. Certainly, high-ranked materials are valuable, and they can be used to make armor or weapons. However, you have to choose the right people to give them to, okay?

Yes!

Even when climbing the snowy mountains, Haruna was collecting a large amount of souvenirs.

Hou, gifts for your subordinates and acquaintances, huh. Chinatsu and Haruna are thoughtful girls after all. Well, I guess I will also buy something for my subordinates.

Thats good! Ah, but you have a lot of subordinates, right, Hund-kun? Should I share some of my souvenirs?

Ill just accept the feelings. Dont worry, its not like Im buying for all of them. With my position, its not something I can give away casually. Im sure buying for the Four Heavenly King of the Sea Demons will be enough. I will buy meat for Tanga. As for Urbul, he prefers puzzles. I wonder if this shop has them?

Hund looks around the area with Haruna, who has already prepared the souvenirs. Then, someone suddenly handed a product.

If you want a puzzle, how about this one? Its a popular puzzle with a view of Dragon Gods Island and flying dragons.

The person who handed them the puzzle set was a woman who seemed to be a clerk at the shop. Shes wearing a triangle bandana and a common apron for clerks, so she must be one.

Oh, thank you. I guess its just right for a souvenir hm?

Dear customer, its embarrassing if you stare at me like that. Ufufu.

Shes indeed a beautiful woman, but the reason why Hund stared at her wasnt because shes beautiful or something like that. Besides, it wasnt only Hund. Haruna and Chinatsu were also staring at her.

Clerk-oneesan, are those horns?

Yes, it was because of the horns. The clerk has two fine horns on her head. No matter how they look at them, those are not fake horns.

Ah, you mean these horns? Yes, they are real dragons horns. I could remove it if I want to, but the customers prefer it this way.

Um, could it be that youre a dragon.?

When Chinatsu asked so in a reserved manner, the clerk smiled.

Correct! This Onee-san is a dragon in human form! And you know what? Ive been waiting for you while working hard here!

She took off her bandana and untied her hair. At the same time, she spread her wings. Being a clerk is her temporary figure, so its no wonder that her apron has a badge with In Training letters on it.

You are Haruna-chan and Chinatsu-chan, right? Ive heard about you from my husband, Rimudo. I heard that you are girls with a promising future. Also, I heard that you are cute, so I couldnt help but come here. And yes, youre so cute and small that I want to use you as hugging pillows!

She pointed her finger at Haruna and Chinatsu and started to poke their cheeks. Moreover, she even hugs the two of them. While the two are struggling, Hund, whos being left out, quickly returned to his sense.

Ah, uh, are you Rimudo-donos wife?

Ara? Ara ara, Im sorry that I got carried away with the two cute girls. Once again, Im Rimudos wife, Satella Baha. If you call me Satella-obahan, Ill kill you immediately, okay?

I wont! I will never say that!

Ah, did I scare you too much? Recently, my rebellious children often said that as a joke, so giving them a good scare as a discipline has become a habit. It was just a joke, of course, so please dont worry about it. But well, there are some things you cant joke about

T-Thats right. Yeah, discipline is important.

Feeling pressure even though she didnt change her smile, Hund was convinced that it wasnt a joke when she said she would kill him. Also, hes convinced that Satella is of a higher rank than him.

Setting the joke aside, if these girls are Haruna-chan and Chinatsu-chan, then youre that Deris-san? You somehow look pale, or rather, youre deep blue! Are you okay!? I-I didnt know that my discipline has such an effect on humans!

Satella-san, Satella-san. That person isnt Shish, but Hund-kun. Also, his color is originally like that.

Then, Haruna introduced Hund-kun

Oh, so youre the rumored Hund-san!

U-Umu. By the way, what kind of rumor?

Ive heard from my husband that theres a promising newcomer who joined the Great Eight Demons recently. He said that the newcomer picked a fight with the senior Great Eight Demons on the first day. My husband praised you that youre an ambitious youngster who has the guts, you know?

Hund-kun, did you do that manga-like thing!? Was the opponent Lily-san!?

N-No, I was ignorant at that time, and I was paying for my mistakes.

There you go again. Youre always modest~

Hund feels embarrassed, but he doesnt feel bad about it. Then, as the target moved to Hund, Chinatsu regained her composure.

Um, by the way, did Satella-san come here to say hello?

Hm? Hmm, my hobby is working part-time, so Im also doing various jobs. But the main reason is

Eh?

Whoa.

Haruna and Chinatsu are hugged by Satella again. Its the second time, so they dont resist that much.

to abdu, to kidna, I mean, to invite you to my house
