Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi: Volume 3 Epilogue

Epilogue

Part 1

The tragedy had came to an end. Even though the enemies had been attacking aggressively, none of the students were killed which could be said as lucky. Angela, who was lost, was eventually found in the mausoleum in one piece. The room that Angela found was immediately sealed and the palace had sent knights to prevent anyone from entering. They would probably ask the archaeologists to take charge of the investigations in the near future.

Part 2

The students, who were previously scheduled to return to Ansarivan, still remained at Allonnes Lakeside. Most of the students were helping to rebuild the dragon house that burned down. Under Rebecca's supervision the rebuilding project was progressing smoothly. The dragons were also full of renewed spirit as they helped in the rebuilding project. The only downside was that Ash was confined in the infirmary.

“It huuuuuurts…!”

Ash's injuries had of course worsened when he joined Lucca in performing the Dragon Riding Dance. The whole time, when he was riding on Gawain, he repeatedly suffered from strong centrifugal forces. It was expected that his body will experience this degree of pain, because he was seriously injured beforehand. It had already been the third day since Lucca started to take care of him. The way she took care of him could only be described with the word 'overly pampered'. Not only did she boil and prepare the herbs she had collected from Norg Forest, for Ash she also fed him, helped him change and damped off his sweat. She had also stayed with him the entire time… Ash was happy that Lucca was pampering him but, for her to be with him for the whole time, this had also caused him some other troubles...

Part 3

“I will take my rest first, Ash. If you need anything please don’t hesitate to wake me up.”

It was two o’clock on the third day and Lucca had started to feel sleepy. This was the time for her afternoon nap. She wore her one-piece pajama stark naked which made her look a little sexy. It seemed that the afternoon nap was an important routine in the Eckbald's daily life. Ash had gotten used to it after three days.

“Anyway… She addressed me in my own name!”

Lucca had only addressed Gawain and Rebecca in their names in the past. This change made Ash felt embarrassed. Looking at her face, Ash suddenly remembered something important.

“That’s right, I remembered that Lucca…”

The incident when he went to the Merk house had appeared in his mind.

“Could it be that… She is not wearing anything right now?”

Just when Ash let his thoughts wander, the door suddenly opened. Eco was the person who opened the door. Different from the rest of the student council members, Eco had nothing to do and came to visit him once in a while. But it was only in namesake that she was visiting him. In reality, it had always turned into an argument.

“Wait a moment, why would both of you sleep together!”

Today was no exception. Once she saw Lucca sleeping, Eco became mad.

“Could you please calm down? Lucca must have been thinking that she was responsible for my injuries so she takes care of me. What were you thinking about?”

“Even so, you don’t have to sleep together!”

“What!… Aren't you also the same for taking my bed?” Ash grumbled a complaint…

Eco then squinted her eyes. “What did you say?”

“N-Nothing… I said nothing at all.”

But Ash and Eco, who were too noisy, caused Lucca to turn her back over.

“Fuwaa…”

Lucca still looking sleepy sat up.

“You… I’ll never forgive you! Do you know that fella over there is my meat slave!”

Eco jumped onto the bed and showed her teeth to Lucca while trying to catch her. But Lucca was a girl who grew up in the forest. Even though she was still sleepy she was still agile. She easily pushed Eco’s hand to one side and moved to her back.

“What…!”

At the same time Eco shouted in surprised, Lucca showed her own rows of white teeth. Moving swiftly and with a ‘Hmu’, she gently bit Eco’s horn.

“Haa…!”

Eco had lost her strength. This was, next to the herb Ansal, one of her weakness. If not for his friendship with Lucca he would never have learned of this vulnerability.

“Err, am I able to learn… This technique?”

“…This is one of the techniques used to discipline dragons. Even though it was created by the Eckbalds anyone is still able to learn it.”

“Is it. Huhu… Eco.”

Ash was smiling evilly. Seriously speaking, he was kept on this bed for three days and was bored with it.

“Hold on! You… Want too…!”

Eco was in fear.

“S-Stop! I’ll never allow it! If you even dare to try it… I’ll trample you flat!”

“Don’t be afraid. I just want to have a try. Anyway, don’t you also want to know the results? Since you're my pal!”

“Wha… What are you joking about!”

Eco wanted to run off but she couldn't. Because Lucca had carried her over by her waist and passed her to Ash. That action is just like an owner handing his dogs or cats to another person.

“You… You obviously only see me as a dragon!”

“That’s only because you have horns!”

“What did you say… Uhmm!”

Eco’s anger had ended right here. Because Ash, just like Lucca had, bit her round horn.

Part 4

Eco’s whole body trembled the moment Ash bit her horn.

-Kuk.

“Ahh!”

Eco’s whole body trembled the moment Ash nipped her horn. The feeling was different from when Lucca nibbled it. It was in a totally different league by itself. The moment Ash's teeth touched her horn Eco felt her whole body electrified. Her body was jerking nonstop and was unable to even think straight.

“E-Even when it had said that… You mustn't bite my horns…!”

It was hot and her cheeks were hot. Her body was also hot. There was particular feeling rising up from her lower tummy.

Why will my body feel so hot… When it is Ash?

“P-Please… Stop, I beg you… If you keep on with it…!”

Being hugged by Ash while her horn was bitten. Eco could only continue to beg and struggle, her breathing becoming heavy...
