Although she wasn’t mentally strong enough to confidently say that she was someone’s favorite doll, at least the words she said in front of the Count were confident, and from the listener’s perspective, they probably weren’t weighty enough to be taken lightly as a joke.

Arjen’s presence and actions played a major role in all of these things. Dragons are both feared and worshiped by humans. Since she clearly saved countless lives last night, at least the emotions that the people around here would have for Arjen would be nothing other than ‘awe’.

And I am someone who can induce and encourage Arjen’s actions to some extent, and who receives a lot of her affection. In some ways, the term “affectionate doll” might not seem so funny to the Count.

Anyway, after I accurately revealed my identity to the Count, things went smoothly. It seemed like the Count wanted to talk about all the things he couldn’t ask or answer because he was in front of a crowd.

When asked about things like why Arjen no longer eats humans, or why he destroyed the meteorite and saved everyone’s lives, it was a bit difficult to answer. It’s not because there was any other reason, but because all the reasons came from me, so it was like putting gold on my face.

Personally, if I felt that the Count was very clever, it was that he quickly took his eyes off Arjen, who had not shown the slightest interest from the moment we sat down, and started a conversation with me, and that he avoided things I didn’t really want to talk about like a ghost. .

For example, stories about my origins or how I met Arjen. In some ways, it is a topic that is as curious as Arjen’s change of mind, but he manages to endure it well.

The tactless and incompetent high-ranking officials who often appeared in stories seemed to only exist in stories.

“Hmm… I’d like to talk more, but I feel very regretful that I don’t have much time.”

Perhaps because he was so busy, the Count was the first to broach the subject of breakup. After all, since a meteorite had fallen the night before, it would be hectic to deal with the incident.

“Not only did you accept the invitation today, it was a very useful time as we were able to talk about many things. If you don’t mind, I’d like to invite you again next time I have time.”

“It’s an honor for you to say that.”

Considering the quantity and quality of information he obtained in less than two hours, it was natural for such a reaction to occur. Even if I were to tell you, I could gain the favor of a person as high as a count by listing irrelevant information, so there was nothing to lose.

No, in a way, considering Arjen’s reputation and what would happen in the future, there was quite a lot of information that needed to be shared with humans, so it was safe to say that this conversation had nothing but benefits for Arjen and me.

“It must be a hassle to think about how to visit human society every time, so I have prepared a small courtesy.”

The Count said so and held out an ID card that seemed to have been prepared in advance. It was so perfect that it could not be compared to the temporary pass that had been issued.

“Just write your name in the name field and you can use it right away. Since this is an ID card with the seal of Duneld Street, you will not have any problems wherever you visit Berfia.”

In the remarks section of the ID card, it was written that absolute credit for the holder and one other person was guaranteed in the name of the Duneld family. No matter how you look at it, it felt like an ID card prepared just for me because it was out of consideration for Arjen.

“Thank you, I will use it well.”

I felt like it was a good idea to accept this invitation, as I could gain not only reputation but also practical benefits.

“Compared to the grace you have given me, I am indebted to you because it is a shabby repayment. I hope you know that there is no end to the repayment you can give as the owner of the Duneld family.”

If it’s not enough, you can express it in a roundabout way like that to say more of what you want.

“I think it is sufficient compensation.”

Of course, there was nothing lacking. Considering Arjen’s position as a dragon in the first place, no matter how high the count’s status and wealth were, there was very little he could do for him. The most optimal compensation would be to guarantee activities in human society like this.

“Hehehe….”

On the way back to Lair after being welcomed until the end, I suddenly saw Arjen smiling happily and expressed my doubts.

“Huh? Why are you smiling so suddenly?”

“No! Nothing! I just really liked what Eugene said earlier.”

What did I say earlier? No matter how much I thought about it, there was nothing in the conversation with the Count that made Arjen that happy.

“Ah, did I mention that I was Arjen’s favorite doll?”

It was a line that was a bit embarrassing to say confidently in front of others.

“It would have been better to use a different expression, such as lover or lover. Right?”

“If that were the case, I would have died of so much shame. Oh, I’m not saying I’m ashamed of Eugene! Toward being happy!”

I stroked Arjen’s head, who responded cutely. It would have been okay to see her die of shame, but even now that I think about it, there was no expression that went beyond the attachment doll.

To say a lover or lover differently would have been no different from expressing myself as a dragon. Not only was it not true, but it could have had a negative impact on the warrior.

Since he had promised to receive help no matter what, it was better for the warrior to be as victorious as possible. Even if something happens, at least there won’t be any bloodshed because of the covenant Arjen made.

“It’s all here!”

Unlike when I left Lair, I moved quickly with Arzen’s magic, and the return time was greatly shortened. It had already been a while since I left home, but I felt at peace when I returned to Lair. It seemed like a long time had passed since I came to this world.

“Ugh~ After all, if you leave home, you only end up in trouble. Home is the best…”

Arjen’s thoughts didn’t seem any different from what I was feeling right now. It was easy to reorganize my luggage for the trip. Except for a certain amount of money, it was practically nothing that was used at all.

” When I think about it, it was my first trip and I didn’t really do anything…”

I decided not to care. Because you can’t fill up on anything at the first drink. It’s not like there’s no need to go out in the future, and since I got my ID card from the Count, I can see the world at any time.

So, for now, I decided to relieve the travel fatigue I had accumulated with just two days of travel.

“Aaaak♡!”

I threw Arjen on the bed and jumped into bed too. Unlike the beds at village inns, the overwhelmingly soft texture of the bed was felt without any filtering.

“Oh my, it’s good.”

As I was feeling the soft texture, Arjen, who had come into my arms, stuck out his face and asked.

“Oh… you’re not doing it…?”

Arjen is looking at me with a very regretful expression. Feeling a bit grumpy, I pinched her nose and asked her.

“What are you talking about, our Arzen?”

“Woo… Grumpy……”

“I want to do it too, but I have to take a shower first.”

To be honest, it was difficult to say that I washed properly because the washing method at the inn was to bring warm water to the basin and wash it by itself. Considering that you can take a bath in Argen’s Lair in a way that is not much different from a modern bathhouse, it felt a little uncomfortable not to wash now that you had just returned from a trip.

“I don’t care.”

“I really care, right?”

Arjen, unless you exerted a lot of effort like yesterday, you wouldn’t have sweated at all, but as an ordinary human being, I was in a situation where I had to worry about whether my body would smell just because I hadn’t had a proper shower for the past two days. In the meantime, wouldn’t sex be absurd?

“But Eugene’s body smells good!”

“It’s here again. The mysterious preference for body odor.”

It was something I said when I first met Arjen, and he seemed to really like the smell of my body. I had no way of knowing my own smell, and since I liked Arjen, I could have just ignored it, but no matter what, I can’t help but get nervous when I’m about to have sex.

“Oh yeah…♡ Then should we compromise and do it in the bathroom?”

“I don’t know what kind of compromise we have to make to make such a proposal…”

Of course, in the end, things went as Arjen intended and ended up being a lot of sex in the bathtub. I admit that it was quite thrilling to do it outside the home, but I thought that when making love, it was best to create a situation where we could focus completely on each other.

“Haha…♥ Eugene, Yoo Ji-in…! A little harder…!”

In her own way, Arjen has longed for love even more than on the outside. It seemed like the life of staying in the rare and having sex would continue for a while.
