Chapter 443 Pointless Disputes between Two t.i.tans

Gumihou: Lots of explanation, which means lots of stiff and awkward dialogue for Gumi to fix

Aruji? the Ancient Dragon rumbled.

We are that humans familiars, explained Fer. The Pixie Dragon is one of us too.

When the Ancient Dragon turned its rugged face towards me, I could feel my b.a.l.l.s shrinking away. Hey, dont look down on me. Having a huge dragon staring directly at you will do that. Even Dora-chan had frozen in place.

The one who could fight me to a draw is now a familiar of that little human [5a]?

Uuh, me? A little? I guess to an Ancient Dragon humans are rather tiny? [5b]

From what I have heard, Ancient Dragons were supposed to be old. Like, really, really old, old enough to be thought of as Ancient

Suddenly, deep, powerful laughter echoed inside the huge cave.

Guhahahahaha!

The Ancient Dragon was slapping the floor with one of his forepaws and laughing.

Guhahahaha, you a familiar of that?? Guhahaha, if you want to make up a story, make a better one. [5]

Humph, you laugh because you dont know the reason why I became that humans familiar. [8]

Oh? [5] the Ancient Dragon stared at me again.

Being stared at by such a huge beast was unnerving. I began to stammer, Ah, no, that is [5]

Uncle Dragon, Aruji makes really yummy food~~

Food?

Yes, Uncle Fer became Arujis familiar because of food~~

Oi! [5]

[8] Wait, did you really sell your dignity as a legendary predator for food? [5b]

[8] What about it? Fer began to growl, You say I sell myself for food? Well, I didnt. I sold myself for very good food. Since I have to eat to survive, I might as well eat something excellent. Humph, as expected, an old geezer with no taste wouldnt understand.

[5] [8] What? Youre nothing against a gourmet dragon like me.

[8] A gourmet? Hah! You just eat your food raw.

As I watch the escalating argument with increasing anxiety, I thought, Fer-san, you were the same as the Ancient Dragon not too long ago

Nothing is better than raw meat still dripping with warm blood.

[8] Hah! What kind of gourmet just feed on raw meat?

Gununununu the Ancient Dragon was glaring at Fer. Suddenly the glare was turned towards me. So, youre saying that this human could make food that is better than fresh meat.

Uhm

Oi, little man. Feed me the food that turned this Fenrir into your familiar.

[8] Aah [5]

Why should we feed you? Theres no food for you here, you old geezer! Youre not even his familiar, so why should he feed you?! [5]

Humph, how stingy. Well, I refuse to fight until I get something to eat.

What are you saying?!

Im saying I refuse to fight a stingy Fenrir who refuses to let me eat food made by that little human.

Gununu, werent we supposed to settle our duel?

Hmph, I dont care.

what is going on?

Why are these two t.i.tans arguing about me feeding them?

Isnt this argument kind of pointless?

Dora-chan was similarly disillusioned, So, this is what a Ancient Dragon is like

What a disappointment, I answered back via telepathy. I mean, Im not stupid enough to openly diss them, but telepathy gives me plausible deniability.

Finally, after a Hump, if you dont want a fight. Fine! Fer stomped over to us.

So what now? I asked. [5c]

Dont tell me we have to go back the hard way, Im not trekking through that field of snow again, said Dora-chan indignantly.

Hey, um, heres a thought. Do we have to defeat the Ancient Dragon? Or, is destroying that Black Dragon enough to make the magic circle appear?

We all stared at the twitching Black Dragon that had slid down the wall and was now twitching pathetically on the ground.

Umu

, I met this guy outside. So, he is not part of this dungeon.

So, if we defeat the Black Dragon, will a magic circle appear? [5]

Humph, even if a magic circle appear, do you think that fellow would let us leave?

Ahh

Aruji~ Aruji~ Sui is hungry~~

Oh, Sui. Sorry, were talking about something important here, could you wait a bit? [5d]

[9]

Mu

Sui!

Wait, fufufu, mwahahahaha!

Er, Fer?

What an excellent idea, Sui! Indeed, let us eat! Make us a feast, master!

Uh, okay. Are we feeding the Ancient Dragon too?

No, we are going to feast, and that guy is going to watch. That will be my revenge against that old geezer!

A revenge?

Exactly, we shall eat deliciously in front of him.

Isnt this kind of mean?

Exactly.

Make sure to cook something luxurious, make it smell good too. Fufufufufu.

Fers laughter was very villainous.

I looked at the Ancient Dragon, then at the still laughing Fer.

Uh, you know what? Ill just make extra food. Loads of extra. It was well and good for Fer to want revenge against an Ancient Dragon. However, I have no intention of offending a creature capable of swallowing me in one gulp.

Lets make lots of extras.

As for Fers request for something that smells good, hmm, maybe something with garlic?

Yes, lets make that.
