Chapter 3 - Navi's visit and practical skill test

Part 1

“Now, let’s celebrate the passing of our written test… I, Silvia Lautreamont will lead this toast”

Tonight, the Dragon Fang Restaurant was also full of the shouts of brawny men.

At their table, Silvia was a little embarrass for trying to propose a toast, but she doesn’t seemed to be used to dealing with such situation.

I shouldn’t have left this to Silvia…Ash thought.

“You don’t have to think about the unnecessaries. All right, cheers!”

“Umm… Cheers!”

Silvia was a little embarrassed when their glasses touched.

Today is the third day after the written exam ended. Both Ash and Silvia were summoned by Mirabel who was acting as the director. They were told that they had passed.

Silvia had scored full marks for all her subjects and ended her year as the top.

Ash on the other hand had barely passed. Although he still had the practical test, whatever the case may be, to him the exam had ended the moment the difficult written test ends.

That is why they came to Dragon Fang Restaurant to celebrate, however…

“Cheers! Eco, you too!... Eco?”

“Huu…”

Ash invited Eco but she reply with only a sigh. She didn’t even touch her glass which was placed on the table.

Similar to the past few days, she seemed to have something on her mind. Although she was with her gloomy looks, her beautify face still looked like a lily growing in the middle of a valley.

Speaking of the devil, Eco had lost her appetite for some time. If she was judged according to the standard where a dragon requires five meals a day, her condition is indeed worrisome.

“Are you really all right?”

“…Uuh., yeah.”

After finishing her sentence, she gulped down the vegetable soup. However, she didn’t seem to notice the beef fillet which was the main dish.

Ash was out of choices and gave Silvia a glance in hope that she would help him. However, Silvia shook her head as if she was telling him it is okay to leave it as it was.

Due to that, Ash tried to change the topic.

“By the way, Princess-sama, do you have any place that you want to head to for your practical test?”

“Umm, nothing particularly on my mind right now. What about you? Is there any place on your mind right now?”

“I too don’t have any place I particularly want to go to…”

Perhaps she caught a few words in their conversation, Eco immediately lifted her head and puffed up her checks in objection.

“Hey….Where are the both of you going to?”

“It is not just the both of us. Even you and Lancelot will be going together with us.”

“What do you mean?”

“It is about our practical test. Our theme is expedition. We are asked to go to a designed location while riding on our Pals. Then we have to take back a special local product with us and show it to the academy to pass.”

The dragon riding academy’s practical test was quite standard. Even Ash felt disappointed when he heard the theme from Mirabel.

“Hmm… But if that’s the case, you don’t have any obligation to follow Silvia no?”

Eco seemed unsatisfied.

“No, I can’t. For safety reasons, it is better for us to work as a team. And since only the two of us took supplementary exams, there is only the two of us to form a team.”

“But I won’t be able to fly you and bring you to your destination. And I can’t even transform according to my own will. I am not even fit to become a Pal.”

Ash hurriedly replied when he saw Eco was speaking to him with a serious look.

“You don’t have to worry about that. We will be riding on Lancelot together. Right, Princess-sama?”

“Aah, Anee-ue had agreed and Lancelot seemed to taken a liking on the both of you. Don’t have to worry about it.”

“See, even Princess-sama said so.”

“Then, it means that it doesn’t matter whether I am present or not! This world doesn’t have a place for me as a human or a dragon!”

Eco suddenly stood up with a sad look on her face.

And her chair fell with a bang.

All the customers around focused their attention on Ash and the gang wondering what had happened.

“Eco, please calm down!”

Ash tried to sooth her

“Shut up! Don’t even try bothering me!”

After her reply, Eco ran straight into a waitress carrying drinks.

“Kyaa!”

Eco shrieked and fell on her butt. The waitress too fell onto her back after Eco crashed into her. The stuff in her hands were flying in mid air and the transparent coloured liquid drew out a beautiful curve.

-Splash.

The glasses fell on Eco’s head.

“Huh?”

Eco, who was wet from head to toe, was confused when she stood up.

“Eco!”

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

Ash and Silvia hurriedly rushed towards Eco.

“This smell… Could this be?”

Ash immediately noticed the rose like smell.

This is quite common in Ansarivan. It was especially popular among young ladies as a herb.

On the other hand, it was well known as a kind of indulgence for the dragons. However, it was something that a young dragon like Eco shouldn’t go near.

That herb was called- Ansal.

Since the start of the summer holidays, Ash always went to Dragon Fang Restaurant for his meals. This was not just because its prices were cheap, but also because most of its customers were men. Thus, Ansal was not used as a menu to attract ladies to the shop.

“Huff…”

After a breath, Eco hugged Ash. Her face was completely red.

“Excuse me! What is this drink!?”

Silvia hurriedly asked and the waitress replied with tears in her eyes:

“Err… The new menu. Ansal wine.”

“What!”

Ash was panicking.

When was this added to the menu?

“I-I can’t… I can’t hold it any longer…”

Eco took action the next moment.

She embraced Ash.

“Uwaa! Eco!”

Ash could feel two soft lumps against his stomach. Although their size was not really big, he knew that they had grown since the last time…

“Stop, Eco! Not at a place like this…!”

Ash was getting dizzy.

“Huff… Ash… Ash…”

As if it was some sort of a spell, Eco kept calling Ash’s name.

Their sweat on their cloths had mixed together and Ash could clearly feel Eco’s body heat.

“Please… Look at me… Look only at me…”

Eco was clinging to Ash and with a hand, she tried to unbutton her blouse. She revealed her white skin and even her collar bone can clearly be seen.

As if to stimulate a man, there was a sweet and sour smell coming from Eco.

“You… You can do anything you like to me…”

Eco, who was drunk, was like a little devil.

“H-How shameless! How dare you do this in public!?”

Silvia was just looking from the sidelines and started to notice something. She started blushing and her fist was trembling in front of her chest.

“H-Hold on! Eco is drunk! Can you please give me a hand!”

Ash was begging Silvia while Eco was toying with him.

“Even if you say that… What should I do?”

Silvia was looking around aimlessly with her face red.

By taking a look at the people around, most of them had their attention on Ash and Eco. There were people who were waiting excitedly and people who were cheering. And of course there were people like Silvia who were disgusted by it.

Just when Ash noticed the glances from around…

“Mmm!”

Eco suddenly nibbled Ash’s ear.

“Urgh…!”

Ash felt a sudden electric jerk in his body but he still tried to endure it.

Eco tasted his ear for just an instant and let go of it.

There was saliva connecting his earlobe to Eco’s lips.

“Love… I love you…”

After a few seconds, Ash finally realized what Eco meant when she whispered those words into his ears.

“Eco…?”

Ash was in a shock.

It was because she was drunk- Due to her being drunk, she can fully express her true self that she hid from others.

After a breath, Eco uses her arms to surround Ash and embraced him.

“Uwaa!”

Ash fell backwards in that position.

“I… I Have something that I always wanted.”

Eco was looking at Ash with her drowsy eyes.

Beneath her beauty hides a prostitute-like boldness.

Ash’s heart almost exploded.

Just when he was almost absorbed into her deep red eyes, Ash quickly questioned her.

“What… What do you want?”

Eco laid her face on Ash’s chest and spoke the most important words of the night with a sweet voice.

“I want to have Ash’s baby.”

After saying those words, Eco lost her strength and fell asleep.
